Lian Han pursed his lips, picked up Zi Yan, and turned to enter the villa.

Upon discovering that the target had retreated into the villa, the mech pilot breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the energy blast might accidentally kill the little girl. While the villa wasn't necessarily safe, it provided an extra layer of protection. After all, his mission was to capture her alive.

Inside the villa, Lian Han transformed Xing Yan back into a card and put it away. After a slight hesitation, he decided not to expose Number 1 while the enemy's situation remained unclear.

[Girl, it's a bit difficult for a basic Divine Concealment Card to evade the detection of an S-class mech.] Old Man Xing frowned as he looked at the card she took out.

[I know. ]

Lian Han said, flipping his hand to take out another card, "[So we need to use a two-pronged approach. The two exits of the villa are now blocked. The enemy is bombarding the protective shield, so their attention to other areas will be lower. If the energy fluctuations are low enough, we might be able to slip away. Card makers are, after all, a rare breed.]"

She was gambling, betting that the other party would lower their guard because she was a child. As for losing the gamble, she would have to resort to her first card, and what would happen then would be beyond her control.

So she's using this broken card that's not even a beginner card? This girl...

This is all the calm and rationality honed in my early years—even if I don't remember some things, my temperament remains unchanged.

Old Xing sighed, but didn't stop Lian Han any further. "Then let's get started. Let's take a gamble. The villa's protective shield won't hold for long."

Lian Han nodded. What a pity, this is Aunt Pei's villa. If it's ruined today, she'll be heavily in debt later.

"Master, wait a moment."
