Lister did not respond immediately.

He was thinking.

No matter what, unless this stranger revealed his identity and the identity was within his acceptable range, he would not be willing to cooperate with this stranger.

But the request the stranger had brought to him was a bit special; he didn't need to give anything, just didn't want the Leader's scheme to succeed?

Really?

If true, this person must either be an enemy of the Leader or a member of another faction, not wanting the Leader to fall so quickly, hoping that he would continue to struggle against Nellis and the Leader.

But who could it be?

Lister couldn't figure it out for the moment.

He merely discovered from the stranger's words that the Leader seemed not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Of course, all these deductions were based on the assumption that what the stranger had said was true; if this premise was not valid, then there was nothing to discuss.

"I will verify it."

After ending the conversation with Bai Fu, Lister immediately sent someone to investigate in CC307.

"General, could this be a trap meant to lure us?"

Facing his confidant's inquiry, Lister remained calm, "Just check it out; it won't hurt anything."

...

Two days later, when Bai Fu got on the spaceship and was preparing to fly to CC307, she received proactive contact from Lister.

"You should still be there, right? The results of my investigation are out."

"What did you see?"

"Gustav's secret base. Gustav has secretly built a Judgement Light of God there. I think he plans to use it on my headquarters during the intense fighting between me and Nellis to directly destroy my command center."

The Judgement Light of God, a supreme weapon of the Spiritual Ability Sect, a single fully charged strike was comparable to a Dominator's blow.

Bai Fu quickly clarified many things.

The Leader must have learned from somewhere that Gustav was secretly building a Judgement Light of God on CC307, then he falsely claimed that Lister and the Honorable Force were colluding, gathering at CC307, luring her to attack CC307, thus causing conflict with Gustav.

The meticulously prepared Judgement Light of God would be exposed. How could Gustav let it go?

This would be a fierce battle!

If they were unlucky, those who received the Task to head to CC307 could die under the Judgement Light of God; even if they didn't die, from now on, Gustav would have a complete fallout with Nellis, causing the already chaotic situation in Tem Civilization to become even more muddled.

In Bai Fu's view, the Leader probably hoped that she would die in this operation.

Because this way, the Leader could step on Gustav by labeling him as the major villain using her death.

[Killing even a Saintess? This is beyond the actions of an ordinary rebel!]

[Revenge! Avenge the Saintess Bai Fu who died for the cause of justice!]

The moment the slogan is shouted, should the Leader take down Gustav in the future, he could reap a great deal of Reputation.

"Damn it, has it only been a few months of cooperation, and you're already making a move on me?"

Bai Fu was fuming, her eyebrows inverted.

Thankfully, she saw through everything, and her power had greatly increased recently.

The broken Task of attacking CC307 was definitely a no-go; it was a huge trap, and even if she performed miracles and wiped out Gustav's secret troops, she would not gain much in the end but would incur Gustav's grudge.

[Since you made a move to set me up, I can't just return the favor without anything in return.]

Thinking of Frank and Bovalia Star, Bai Fu decided to teach the Leader a lesson through the Ten Saints Association, while also diverting their attention so the Ten Saints wouldn't keep targeting her in the future.

"What do you plan to do?" Bai Fu inquired Lister.

Lister said, "It seems that I don't need to do anything. The Leader's roundabout action will not have any substantial impact on me in the end; it will only provoke further strife between Nellis and Gustav, honestly, it's a good thing for me."

"You're right, but it's only temporary. After dealing with Nellis and Gustav, it'll be your turn next."

Lister laughed, "That's true indeed. It's unexpected. I never thought the one called the worst Leader in history would secretly lay out such a plot. And this is only what I see now, there's likely more to it... The true face of the Leader, is this what you wanted me to see?"

"Exactly."

"Are Nellis and the Leader together?"

"That's for you to explore."

Lister nodded, "I understand. You've done me a great favor. Given the chance, I'd like to see what you look like."

Bai Fu spread her hands, "You probably wouldn't want to see me. Okay then, let's end our conversation here."

After hanging up the communicator, Bai Fu did not immediately withdraw the monitoring of the Virtual Heart.

Lister had already detected the presence of the Virtual Heart, but this did not prevent her from continuing to surveil him.

...

Near the CC307 Mining Star.

After a long journey here, Bai Fu exchanged a glance with the confidant sent by the Leader beside her.

Just ten seconds before, the reconnaissance ship had spotted the Honorable Force's spaceship.

"It seems the informant's intelligence is accurate, Saintess Bai Fu. Are we attacking the CC307 Mining Star right now?" the confidant of the Leader was eager to try.

Bai Fu smiled and said, "We should first take that Honorable Force's spaceship, find out the exact hiding places of Lister's people, and then it's not too late to attack."

The confidant of the Leader hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, there is no time to delay, let's do it now."

The fleet surrounded the Honorable Force's spaceship from multiple directions, with signal jamming devices on all ships activated.

But just as the fleet was about to complete the encirclement of the Honorable Force's spaceship, something unexpected happened.

"They're accelerating, their direction of flight... Damn, that's the gap not yet fully closed, they've discovered us!"

Bai Fu's face turned ashen as she pointed at the radar map.

"No, we absolutely can't let them escape, chase them down!"

At Bai Fu's beckoning, the whole fleet changed course, relentlessly pursuing the Honorable Force's spaceship.

This turn of events caught the Leader's confidant off guard.

What's going on?

This isn't how the script was written.

"Saintess Bai Fu, I think our focus now should not be the Honorable Force's spaceship, but the CC307 Mining Star and Lister..."

Bai Fu directly interrupted the Leader's confidant's words: "We are already exposed now. If we attack CC307 at this time and fail to take down the opponent quickly, we will be encircled by Lister's reinforcements. Moreover, the other party must already have erased any evidence of collusion with the Honorable Force by now. If we rush in now, the nature of this operation is not to eliminate the threat to the Leader in advance, but rather a direct attack on Lister. You should be clear, this is not within my commission's duties. I already said before I accepted the commission that I would not take on such tasks."

The Leader's confidant had no choice but to find an excuse to return to his spaceship after a tug of war with Bai Fu and report the situation to the Leader.

At this time, the Leader was looking forward to seeing Bai Fu and Gustav's Judgement Light clash.

After receiving the confidant's report, he was stunned.

What the hell is the Glorious Army doing?

Running away at such a critical moment, how could his plan continue?

"I understand."

The Leader immediately hung up the communicator, then contacted the overall commander of the Honorable Force.

"What the hell is going on? You must give me an explanation."

The overall commander of the Honorable Force was dumbfounded.

Explanation?

How would he know what was going on?

He tried to contact that spaceship but couldn't get through at all. All his messages vanished without a trace.

Could it be that the Death Soldier on that spaceship betrayed at the critical moment, not wanting to follow orders anymore and thus choosing to flee?

With the precedent of N2, the overall commander felt this was indeed possible.

But if the truth was indeed this, the Leader would be furious enough to tear him apart, making the same mistake repeatedly, pure crap!

In fact, the Death Soldier of the Honorable Force had not betrayed. Looking at the out-of-control spaceship, he was also drenched in a cold sweat.

"What's going on? Why won't the spaceship obey?"

"Where exactly is this spaceship flying to?"

"Wait, this flight path map... the destination is Bovalia, why is it there?"

Why?

That's the Hell I prepared for you!

The blow from the Ten Saints Association should give the Leader a good jolt.

In the cockpit, Bai Fu, wrapped in a tight black combat suit, crossed her arms, her face stern as ice.

At this moment, the Virtual Heart kept reporting the condition of the Honorable Force spaceship ahead in her mind, ensuring the spaceship would accurately reach Bovalia.
