Li Ke's gaze swept over the twenty-four people opposite her, including Mo Qing and his two guards. She checked the time again before slowly saying, "My reply is that none of you are worthy."

Song Wenguang looked at Li Ke: "If you are so ungrateful, your Qiushan Base will cease to exist after tonight."

No one will stand up for Akiyama Base. Since they want to fight to the end, they shouldn't blame us for dividing them up directly.

Li Ke looked at Song Wenguang and said, "Take a look at the top of your heads."

Before Song Wenguang and the others could even look up, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and everything went dark. The guards behind them quickly helped their boss up, trying to leave.

But then they felt a slight heaviness above their heads, and everyone's heads and faces were covered by a ceiling curtain that suddenly fell down from above.

Someone pulled a curtain and bound them together. After a moment of dizziness, the guards behind them took out daggers, cut the restraints, and were about to see the light when they were knocked unconscious.

Everyone realized something was wrong. They struggled to break free while shouting for help at the door, but soon they felt the air filled with a humid and foul-smelling vapor, and soon they all fell into unconsciousness.

After Li Ke had tightly bound the unconscious people, he left the space. Not much time had passed outside, and the conference room was still dark because Niu Dazhuang had cut off the power.

Li Ke slipped out of the conference room through another exit and went around to the back of the villa to meet up with Niu Dazhuang.

After waiting for about five minutes, Niu Dazhuang arrived dressed as a waiter. After exchanging a secret code with Li Ke, he approached further and said, "I've taken care of seven people. I've knocked them all out, tied them up, and thrown them into the lounge we agreed on on the first floor."

Li Ke checked the time and said to Niu Dazhuang, "You leave now and meet up with Song Xian and the others. Then try to sneak out of the safe zone. Don't reveal your identity. You and I will be missing with these people for a while."

Niu Dazhuang was a little worried: "There are so many people, are you sure you can handle it? I'll stay and help you."

Li Ke: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and leave. I have my own plans. Don't ruin my plans."

Niu Dazhuang could only nod in agreement. After watching his figure walk towards the annex, Li Ke quickly turned around and rushed to the lounge.

The lounge was on the first floor, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows outside. Li Ke climbed over the window that Niu Dazhuang had secretly left.

Seven men lay in the dark room, their heads covered with black cloth and tightly bound. Li Ke checked the room and, after confirming that they were all unconscious, put them all into his spatial storage.

These seven people were the heads of several powerful bases, apart from the representatives. It would be difficult to kidnap all the heads of the bases, but capturing the leaders would allow us to control the situation.

After doing all this, Li Ke climbed out of the window again and quickly left the Song family villa according to the route he had previously explored, heading towards a sparsely populated area.

The steward of the Song family villa also received a computer-printed text message that read: "I'm borrowing your family members' property for a while. If you don't want the situation to get out of control and others to take advantage of the situation, do not make a fuss."

At the bottom, it was stated that a total of sixteen people had been borrowed, and their names were listed in order, including Li Jia's name. After reading the letter, the butler immediately turned towards the conference room.

When he knocked on the door and received no response, and when he pushed the door open and found it locked from the inside, and no one answered him, the sweat on his forehead poured out even more.

Fearing too many people would gossip, the housekeeper didn't dare arrange for anyone to break down the door. Instead, he took the letter and secretly went to find the mistress of the Song family.

With the added disguise of a muscle suit and a human skin mask, Li Ke sneaked into the nearest airport and, using spatial manipulation, secretly boarded a transport plane bound for the Ninth Ring Road East Airport.

Inside the space, Li Ke transplanted a forest of mutated plants and built a courtyard in the middle of the forest. Below the courtyard, there was a two-story basement.

This basement currently holds twenty-nine people who have lost their ability to move. Among them, fifteen are the heads of the Toujiaji family, and fourteen are their personal guards.

At this time, the fourteen guards had already been locked in another secret room by Li Ke. These heads of the family were also locked in four separate rooms. In the room where Li Ke was, the heads of the Song, Qiu, and Jin families were locked in their chairs.

The first to wake up was the head of the Jin family. He touched his sore neck, turned his head and saw the unconscious people next to him, and his mind immediately cleared up.

When he saw the tall figure wearing a full-face helmet sitting at the head of the group, he was taken aback for a moment before immediately questioning, "Who are you? Do you know the consequences of kidnapping us?"

Li Ke remained silent, while Song and Qiu stirred, slowly waking up.

Jin Taiwei turned to Song and Qiu and shouted, "Brother Wenguang, Brother Yi'an, wake up! I don't know which bastard arrested us!"

Song Wenguang's gaze sharpened at this moment. He blinked before looking at the tall figure in the shadows: "Are you from the Qiushan base? Or are you their accomplice?"
