Before long, agents from the Four Directions arrived after receiving the news.
Looking at the two corpses on the ground and Convert to My Lily's familiar face, they immediately understood what had happened here.
They were unsure if this was orchestrated by Lily. Lily had even dared to kill Bask in front of everyone, so it didn't seem impossible for her to instruct her followers to eliminate Bask's confidant.
Regardless of the true situation, they felt a secret delight when they saw the stunned officers.
The Intelligence Bureau and the military had always disliked each other. During this operation, although Bask behaved normally, his subordinates had caused a lot of trouble for the Intelligence Bureau, and they had been holding a grudge for a long time.
Now it was good.
Weren't you very arrogant before? Now, try being arrogant again?
"Lily is awesome!"
"With such a big incident, the military will definitely not let it go. Being wanted by both the Truth Society and the military, I wonder if Lily can survive." Si shook his head and sighed, worried about Lily's future.
Like Shino, he was a staunch anti-Truth Society fighter. Lily had angered the Truth Society several times, and although he didn't say it, he had long regarded Lily as a comrade-in-arms in his heart.
Shino was preoccupied until someone called her name.
"Shino, if you intervened to stop it, the military will definitely hold you accountable when you return."
Shino shook her head: "It's fine, my dad won't abandon me."
"Alright." Director Madeleine stepped forward, "For this period, don't discuss Lily anymore. Leave everything to me to handle. If anyone asks, just say you only had an Ordinary cooperative relationship with Lily, and know nothing else."
The agents of the Four Directions all turned to look at Director Madeleine.
Old Lu truly stepped up at the crucial moment!
Director Madeleine was indeed extraordinarily supportive. That very night, someone came to inquire about Lily's situation, and he immediately took the initiative.
Facing the inquiries of the person, he consistently replied with 'I don't know' and 'I'm not clear.' When faced with accusations, he turned around and asked the other party if they claimed Lily had problems, did they have clear evidence? If they couldn't produce clear evidence, then what were they talking about?
"What we value in intelligence work is accuracy and timeliness. If we just believe every rumor, then who in the entire Gene Primordial would not be in league with the Truth Society?"
Director Madeleine adopted a tough stance of "Are you teaching me how to do my job?" The person was furious but helpless; his rank was not even as high as Director Madeleine's, so what could he do to Director Madeleine?
"If Lily's whereabouts are found, report it immediately!"
He could only leave with that one sentence, sullenly departing.
Director Madeleine achieved a great victory, but his mood was quite heavy. He had already heard that Bask's actions were instigated by a General. This Gene Primordial held secrets he didn't know.
He went out and found Shino: "Your father just contacted me and told me to send you back quickly. I'll approve you for paid leave."
Shino nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Lu."
She felt that she most likely couldn't continue being an agent. After she went back, her father definitely wouldn't let her run around anymore.
But when she stepped out to help Lily stop those soldiers, she was already mentally prepared, so she didn't regret it.
Life is often like this: if you choose one thing, you have to give up another.
For example, when she was reincarnated, she chose wealth, and from then on, she gave up the troubles caused by lack of money.
Shino stood by the car, feeling the cold night wind. She recalled her conversation with Lily in the car after catching Inoue. At that time, she promised to help Lily investigate File 001, which recorded the origin of the Spiritual Energy of Origin Star. It was a good time to do this now that she was going back.
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard footsteps nearby.
"Hmm, you are... if I remember correctly, you are Lily's follower, right?" Shino turned her head.
Patrick Star said, "My name is Patrick Star. I'm here to deliver a message for Lily."
"What message?" Shino looked puzzled.
Patrick Star said, "She said she remembers your kindness. Any time, any place, if you encounter trouble, you can find her. She will be your strong backing."
Shino was stunned, and then she burst out laughing.
"That sounds nice, but I don't even have her contact information. If I really run into trouble, where am I supposed to find her?"
Patrick Star said, "That's simple. Just find an Outsider like me and ask him to relay the message. No matter how far apart, Lily will receive your message very quickly."
"Is that so?"
Shino didn't believe it, but she was still in a good mood. It was rare for someone to say such words to her.
Unfortunately, she had thought she could become friends with Lily, but the military suddenly went crazy and messed everything up.
"Help me reply to her: I'm fine. Tell her to take care of herself first and not die from an assassination bounty."
After seeing Patrick Star off, Shino returned to the car. Not long after she sat down, she heard shouts from outside.
"Something happened! Songshan Settlement was attacked by the Truth Society and suffered heavy losses!"
The entire Bajalos Shelter immediately descended into chaos.
...
Even before the Bajalos Shelter fell into chaos, the Truth Society's headquarters was already in turmoil.
Yulia brought shocking news: Bagaros Base had been breached, and Carlos, Qian Assistant Officer, Gedo, and Yulia's fake body were all dead.
"Are you sure you're not telling me a science fiction story?"
The President of the Truth Society's eyes were bloodshot, as if bleeding.
He immediately sent people to investigate, and the truth was exactly as Yulia had said, even more infuriating, because all these people had died at Lily's hands.
I heard you wanted to kill me?
Not only did I take out the assassins you sent, but I also directly destroyed one of your bases. I'm just asking if you're angry.
Angry!
The President was so angry that he transformed into the Tom from 'Tom and Jerry' who gets red-hot with rage from reading Jerry's diary.
"Trash, a bunch of trash!"
He immediately ordered Bernardo, the Minister of the Combat Department, to continue raising Lily's bounty. The previous amount was still too small; this time, he wanted to raise it to 3 million in one go, a figure sufficient to drive most assassins mad.
Bernardo quickly complied, but when he logged onto the Dark Web, he suddenly discovered a problem.
"President, the Gene Primordial has also posted a bounty on Lily, with a reward of 1 million."
"What?" The President's expression gradually returned to normal. "What's going on?"
Bernardo's expression was grave: "I tried to consult the Makarov Family, who operate the Dark Web, but they don't have definite news either. They only know that Lily did fall out with the Gene Primordial, and it's said she killed many of the Gene Primordial's people."
"Interesting."
The President paced back and forth in the laboratory.
