Olivia made a show of virtual-novel.net newfound authority at many places in Bidara City. She took over all of the places Milo wanted virtual-novel.net to take control of, as well as a number of places Milo did not ask virtual-novel.net to.
It was not that virtual-novel.net was hardworking but that virtual-novel.net enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight today.
The maidservant had led a very oppressive life ever since virtual-novel.net was young. When virtual-novel.net was a child, virtual-novel.net was really poor and did not have any money. After joining the Radianz Consortium, virtual-novel.net still had to obey virtual-novel.net superiors’ orders. But after virtual-novel.net met Milo, not only did virtual-novel.net become stronger and could do whatever virtual-novel.net wanted, but others also started looking at virtual-novel.net with reverence. This made the maidservant feel like virtual-novel.net life had been raised to a higher level.
However, some people were just this strange. Even though virtual-novel.net had become stronger, virtual-novel.net mentality was still that of a simple woman. She only wanted to go around and show off, but virtual-novel.net did not think that since virtual-novel.net was already so powerful, there was actually no need for virtual-novel.net to act so flamboyantly.
Moreover, theoretically speaking, Milo could not at all beat her, and neither could Miriam. However, Olivia seemed to have gotten used to virtual-novel.net role as a maid.
Milo and the others moved into the residence Daniel had prepared for them. In fact, the Panaqua Consortium was extremely rich, as they went around purchasing houses and land in Bidara City. In the entire neighborhood of National Treasure Garden on Peony Avenue, the Panaqua Consortium alone had purchased eight villas.
During the war in the Southwest, many of the big shots from the Skyfort Consortium and the Radianz Consortium had fled here and concealed their identities, living in the properties they had bought here long ago.
On the same night, Olivia returned with virtual-novel.net subordinates. Her younger brothers behind virtual-novel.net were carrying black boxes in their hands that were filled with external hard drives that contained surveillance footage spanning nearly a month. All of the surveillance footage in the city had been gathered together.
Milo looked at Magnus and the others. “The Central Plains have descended into chaos. From now on, no matter who tries to seize control of the world, Bidara City will no longer be peaceful. Moreover, your identities have been made public this time. If anyone targets me in the future, I’m afraid that they’ll make a move on y’all as well. So I want y’all to bring these boxes back to the Northwest. Bruce’s already waiting at Stronghold 144, so you can just hand them over to him.”
It would take at least three days to drive from Bidara City to Stronghold 144, and five days to Fortress 178. With Magnus and the others escorting the boxes, Milo could feel at ease.
If the students were intercepted, not even a regiment of soldiers could catch the eight of them once they transformed into armored beings and ran off into the wilderness.
Magnus looked at Milo. “Brother Milo, we want to stay behind and help you.”
“No need.” Milo patted Magnus on the shoulder. “The surveillance footage is more important. We can only find the murderer of Mr. Pena if we send it back in time. Moreover, Uncle Bane and the others miss y’all heaps. It’s time to reunite with them.”
But Olivia suddenly said, “Why don’t I send the surveillance footage back to the Northwest instead? It would be much safer if I did it…”
To be honest, Olivia found it really satisfying to strut around during the day. But when virtual-novel.net came back at night and saw Miriam here, virtual-novel.net felt oppressed again. Therefore, Bidara City was not as good as the Northwest. It was still more exciting to be in the Northwest where virtual-novel.net would be far away from virtual-novel.net master and mistress.
Milo shook his head. “No, you have to stay behind. I still need you to lock down the city.”
Olivia hurriedly said, “Master, look at how cooperative the Vasophati Group is now. The garrison troops have gone onto the walls and started implementing martial law. All of the city gates have also been shut. You should also know the mastermind behind this is definitely one of the consortiums. If it’s really the Stelaria Consortium, Magnus and the others will be in great danger. That artificial intelligence of theirs feels pretty powerful.”
These words reminded Milo of something.
Daniel had mentioned Zero might’ve taken control of the Panaqua Consortium’s nanosoldiers, especially the 2,000 nanosoldiers that supported the battle at Mt. Zendravasih.
If it were really Zero that killed Pena, the eight students would probably be in danger if the other party used those 2,000 nanosoldiers to intercept them to destroy the evidence.
Milo thought for a moment and said, “Alright, you can go with them then. Remember, don’t stop along the way. I need y’all to deliver these boxes to Bruce as quickly as possible.”
The maidservant broke into a smile. “Alright, Master, don’t worry. It doesn’t matter who tries to intercept us. They can’t stop us anyway.”
After that, the maidservant happily went off to pack virtual-novel.net things.
With this, the boxes would definitely be safe. There were not many people in the world who could stop the maidservant, not even Zero.
After everything was handled, Milo finally heaved a sigh of relief. Next to him, Daniel said, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find the mastermind.”
“Mhm…” Milo nodded.
All virtual-novel.net needed to do now was wait patiently. There had to still be people in Bidara City they had not identified yet. Milo needed to turn Bidara City upside down and find the answer.
Milo thought of something. “By the way, Daniel, aren’t you already a supernatural being? Why do you still need the black medicine?”
Daniel’s expression became strange. “Ahem, how can you bring that up in public?”
Milo chuckled. “What’s so secretive about it? There’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“Well, it’s like this. I think my body is a little frail.” Daniel explained, “Ever since I was 15, my urine started split-streaming. When I went to the hospital, the doctors could not find anything wrong with me. But when the doctors heard that I started split-streaming at such a young age, they said I might have inflammation or that my bladder control is not strong enough.”
Milo was taken aback. “No way. They diagnosed that just because you had a split stream?”
Daniel glanced to the side and saw that Miriam and the others had gone outside to talk about something else, so virtual-novel.net whispered, “It’s mainly because it splits a little too much…”
Milo also had a strange expression on his face. Just how many streams did his urine split into to make the doctors think Fatty Eastwood was frail?
Daniel hurriedly said, “That’s why I’ve always placed a lot of emphasis on improving my health by taking all kinds of tonics after that. However, my condition would sometimes get better and sometimes worse. The split-streaming happens on and off. It’s really strange. But after I took the black medicine, I felt extremely energetic and I didn’t have any problems during that period. Later, when I came to the Central Plains and stopped taking the black medicine, it started splitting again. That’s why I asked you for the black medicine.”
“Is that so?” Milo lowered his head and pondered it. “Let me ask you something. When did Bill awaken his power?”
“I don’t know…” Daniel said, “That guy’s really smart. We didn’t even know virtual-novel.net had awakened his power for many years until one time I went to the reservoir for a swim. I had a cramp and had to be saved by him, which was when I found out virtual-novel.net had awakened his powers.”
Milo nodded. “Then try to remember. Is it possible that the frequency of your urine split-streaming happened like this? When you were with Bill, you would experience the split-streaming. But when you were not with Bill, there was no split-streaming?”
Daniel was speechless.
He suddenly looked at Bill, next to him. Then virtual-novel.net threw a punch straight at him!
Before Bill knew what was going on, virtual-novel.net was punched in the face. He roared, “Damn, fatty, have you gone crazy?!”
The two of them started wrestling each other.
