"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, based on the remaining clues at the scene, it is inferred that this organization has been premeditatedly kidnapping children to conduct some kind of experiment. Apart from those who were subdued by Xia Xiong, Gui Long, and the South City Guard Commander, there are still members of the organization and researchers who have escaped. The Imperial Guards are conducting a thorough search."

"Bang!"

The sound of a teacup shattering rang out, and the alliance leader could no longer suppress his anger. "A month has passed, and this is it? Such a large organization was hiding in that place, and we hadn't found a single clue before..."

"Cough cough cough," the leader coughed incessantly before he could finish speaking.

"Alliance Leader, please forgive me," the North City Guard commander said expressionlessly, bowing his head in apology.

"...Send the West City Guards as well. Dedicate a special team to search; we must find these criminals!" the Alliance Leader commanded in a deep voice.

"yes"

"Is there any trace of Xia Lanxingde Xiang?" The alliance leader frowned, his face full of worry.

"The four city guards of the east, west, south, and north have been searching for a month with the Ironclad Imperial Guards, but they still haven't found Miss Xia Xiang or the girl named Han," the North City Guard commander reported. "According to the South City Guard commander's intelligence, they haven't found any other unconscious children either; they've probably been moved away by the criminal organization."

Upon hearing this news, everyone looked grief-stricken and extremely worried.

"How could we not find it!" Hu Yanjing couldn't help but exclaim. "Let's expand the search area further."

The cold expression on the East City Guard commander's face cracked for a moment, and he gave Hu Yanjing a sharp look.

Hu Yanjing's face froze. He was a little intimidated by this uncle and realized that he had no right to speak in this situation.

Ren Chenfeng knew his brother was naive, so he quickly pulled him back.

"It's all my fault for not protecting Xiangxiang well, Grandpa Xia Liu, I'm really very sorry." The leader felt extremely guilty.

"Alliance Leader, the Xia family is unworthy of such praise," Xia Liu said with a worried expression, after clasping his hands in a fist and bowing. "Everyone has seen what the Alliance Leader has done for the Xia family and Xia Xiang over the years. We should thank the Alliance Leader for his protection."

"I can only say that this calamity is destined for my grandson. Senior Swift Walker also said that she is safe now. I believe that as a descendant of my Xia Lanxingde family, and having been taught by the Alliance Leader since childhood, she will surely return safely as soon as possible."

The leader nodded. "The East City Guard will lead other Imperial Guards to search across time and space. They will find Xia Xiang as soon as possible."

As the highest authority in the Iron Dimension, he usually wielded considerable power, and when it came to Xia Xiang, he was just an ordinary old man.

"No matter how powerful she is, in my heart she's still just a child. I worry about her just as much as you do, and we all hope she can return to the Iron Dimension and come back to us as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Alliance Leader," Xia Liu said, bowing with a sorrowful expression; his hair had turned noticeably whiter.

The leader of the alliance then comforted her, saying, "The Iron Dimension ultimately belongs to these young people. This is also a trial for them. I believe Xiangxiang will become even stronger after she returns."

"Leader, as a mother, all I want is for my child to be safe. I don't want her to be strong, I just want her to stay safe and sound by my side—" Xiong Ge couldn't hold back anymore, her voice choked with sobs, her tone inevitably tinged with resentment.

Xia Xiang has never been by her side since childhood, and now she has encountered such a thing and has to suffer such hardships.

As a mother, how could she bear to see her child suffer like this? She wondered if her little firefly had anything to eat, a place to stay, if she was cold, if she was crying, or if she was scared.

"You must not be rude to the Alliance Leader!" Xia Liu rebuked sternly, then bowed to the Alliance Leader to apologize.

The alliance leader naturally wouldn't blame them, nor could he.

The Xia Lanxingde family has made great contributions to the Iron Dimension, and now that their fourth young lady has gone missing, it's understandable that anyone would be angry.

So, after another round of reassurance, everyone was persuaded to leave, leaving only the alliance leader and Jiu Wu, who had been silent just moments before.

"Father, I want to go find her," Jiu Wu said, his fists clenched and his eyes resolute.

“Xiao Wu, you know it won’t work.” The Alliance Leader shook his head. “Senior Godwalker said it won’t work, and a large number of people crossing time and space will only further disrupt the order of time and space.”

"Do you know where she is?" Jiu Wu's eyes lit up, and his tone was excited.

"You misunderstood the point!" the leader said sternly, a bead of sweat dripping from his forehead. "If I had known, I would have brought her back immediately."

"I want to go!" Jiu Wu insisted.

The leader was truly exhausted, trying his best to stop his son, "The important thing is that it won't work! And we still haven't found where Xiangxiang is!"

“Then I’ll go find it myself,” Jiu Wu said, turning and walking away.

He hadn't taken two steps when he was stopped by Freys and wouldn't move.

"Dad, let me go!" Jiu Wu struggled angrily.

"Jiu Da Chang Lao Wu, stop being so willful! You can only leave when your ability index reaches 35,000 points."

The alliance leader coughed incessantly, and it took him a while to recover. "I will send you to your master, and he will keep an eye on you."

After saying that, he turned and left, ignoring Jiu Wu's anger, and locked him in the 95 Virtual Guesthouse.
