The roaring black chariot sped along, then stopped steadily at the gate of the mayor's residence.

Then the car door opened, and Estell jumped out with her hands raised, cheering.

"Yohoo! I didn't expect we'd be back so soon! Perce!"

"Woo...Estel, you are so energetic..."

Following behind Estelle was the pale and staggering Joshua.

"This is the first time I've seen someone drive a car like this..."

On the other side, Sherazade also walked down holding the door frame, dragging a corpse with her.

"Hey, what should we do with this guy?"

"Why not just find a garbage dump and throw it away?"

Fang Zheng gave the suggestion nonchalantly, while Sherazade sighed helplessly and placed the blond man with rolled eyes and foaming mouth on a chair not far away.

Then the three of them arrived at the door of the mayor's residence - at the same time, Fang Zheng and Fei followed.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at the two people following behind him, Sherazade was stunned for a moment and asked.

"You are here on behalf of the mayor to deal with the missing ship incident. In fact, we are here for the same reason."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Hearing this, Joshua looked at Fang Zheng in surprise, while Estelle nodded.

"Ah, come to think of it, we did see you guys, Mr. Fang Zheng, outside General Morgan's room just now... Were you also yelled at by that uncle?"

"Haha, it's okay."

Facing Estel's question, Fang Zheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders, while Sherazade stared at Fang Zheng in confusion.

"As far as I know, isn't Starlight Technology's main business scope the guide entertainment products? What does the disappearance of the scheduled ship have to do with you?"

"Sorry, this is a trade secret."

Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"But since we all have the same goal, why don't we help each other? If we drive one sheep, we can also let a flock of sheep go, right?"

“…”

Sherazade stared at Fang Zheng, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"All right."

Then the group entered the mayor's residence, and in the office on the second floor, they met the mayor of Perth, Miss Maybelle, who was busy with official business. At the moment, she was sitting behind the desk, staring at a pile of documents and worrying.

"Dealing with citizens' dissatisfaction and opinions, delayed market delivery due to flight control over Perth... repairs to sewer equipment... the monster rampage on Ansel New Street... ahhhhhhh, I can't take it anymore! When will all these documents be processed?!"

At this moment, the frantic Mayor Mabel also saw Fang Zheng and his group and was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, you're back... Mr. Fang Zheng? Why are you here too?"

"The missing ship is also related to Starlight Technology, so we came to check out the situation. We happened to run into these little guys, so we followed them."

Fang Zheng also gave a brief explanation, and then Mayor Mabel looked at Estelle and others in front of him.

"Then please explain the situation."

"OK."

What Estell said was basically consistent with what Fang Zheng heard from General Morgan, and after listening to their reports, Mayor Mabel was somewhat relieved.

"Anyway, at least we know it wasn't a crash but a kidnapping... This is finally good news. The next step is to inform the relatives of the kidnapped person..."

"Please wait a moment."

After listening to the conversations from both sides, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Estelle.

"Have you ever fought against that sky pirate group?"

"Yeah, back in Lorente, they even dared to break into the mayor's house to steal things! If they didn't have an airship, Joshua and I would have caught them long ago!!"

Estelle was obviously indignant about this matter, and she still looked unhappy when she talked about it.

"Airship... Then what kind of airship are they riding? Imperial? Republic?"

"It's an old-fashioned armed airship."

This time, in response to Fang Zheng's question, Joshua gave an answer.

"oh……"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded and then began to think.

If we follow the reports of Estel and Joshua, then this pirate group has already committed several crimes in Lorente, and then they came to Perth to hijack the airship? Isn't this a bit too much? It's like a petty thief suddenly had the idea to hijack an airship...

Although the clues are still unclear, it is enough for Fang Zheng.

"Then we'll take our leave."

After the report, the group left the mayor's residence, and Fang Zheng greeted Estell and others at the gate.

"At present, it seems that the scheduled ship will not leave the Perth area. We will continue to investigate based on this clue. If there is any news, we will also inform you at the Guerrilla Association."

"Hey? Are you leaving now?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Estelle seemed a little reluctant to leave.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I thought I could chat with you for a while, Mr. Fang Zheng."

"Hahaha, when you get to Chase, you can come to Starlight Technology to find me. There will definitely be something you like there."

Fang Zheng smiled and waved to Estelle, then took Fei back to the car. Then, accompanied by a whistling sound, the black chariot roared forward again and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, that's really boring."

Watching Fang Zheng leave, Estelle couldn't help but sigh. Then she turned her head and saw Joshua beside her staring at the place where Fang Zheng left, silent.

"What's wrong? Joshua?"

"Ah, Estelle? Nothing."

Joshua came to his senses after hearing Estell's question and shook his head hurriedly.

Estel stared at Joshua, then her expression changed.

“Hey? Joshua, are you interested in that? Come back soon! I won’t allow you to step into the forbidden abyss!! Don’t be infected by that weirdo! Wake up!!”

"It's not like that anymore..."

Seeing Estel grabbing his shoulders and shaking them hard, Joshua sighed helplessly, then he looked away.

"It may just be an illusion..."

After learning more information from Estelle, Fang Zheng immediately opened the Whispering Banner. Now is the time for the almighty magical conch to appear! !

However, when Fang Zheng was investigating the sky pirate group, he was told by the "Whispering Banner" that it did not exist at all?

What? Doesn't exist?

Fang Zheng was quite surprised to get this information, so he searched for the pirate group that hijacked the scheduled ship, but still found nothing. This is interesting. Although the intelligence information in this world is different from the world created by the Goddess of Order, Fang Zheng can still read it. But now he can't even read it, indicating that "there is no such person", so there are only two possibilities.

One is that this group of sky pirates is strong enough to withstand the search of "The Whispering Banner", and the other is... they are not sky pirates at all!

They are just a group disguised as sky pirates!

In this case, it would explain why a keyword query would result in a "no such information" response.

But even so, Fang Zheng still got useful information - from Mayor Mabel, he got the name and number of the missing liner, so after another investigation, Fang Zheng quickly found the location of the liner.

As expected, it is still within Perth.

In fact, when Fang Zheng found the scheduled ship according to the instructions of "The Whispering Banner", he also saw a group of guys dressed as sky pirates, transporting goods from behind the scheduled ship.

"Sure enough, he's not just an ordinary sky pirate."

Standing on the abandoned mine, Fang Zheng sneered at the orderly "sky pirates" below, who exuded the aura of iron-blooded soldiers, and Fei beside him nodded.

"Yes, there is no doubt that they are the Jaegers."

"So these guys committed crimes in Lorente before in order to make their name of 'Sky Pirates' more worthy of their reputation? This is really interesting."

"Do you want to do it?"

At this moment, Fei had already clenched the daggers in both hands, her whole body tense, completely discarding her usual silent and lazy appearance. She was like a cheetah staring at its prey, just waiting for Fang Zheng's order and then she would take action immediately.

"Hmm...wait, someone is coming."

"Why?"

Fei was stunned for a moment when she heard Fang Zheng's words. At this moment, suddenly, a voice came from not far below the two of them.

“That’s it!!”

Along with this voice, Estelle, Joshua and Sherazad also ran over and blocked the way of the "Sky Pirates". Then Estelle was seen holding a long stick and staring at the enemy.

"As long as there is a trace of evil in this world, the burning fire of truth and justice will not go out! The guerrillas representing love and justice are here!!"

“…”

It’s so cold. I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel so cold.

Fei stared at Estell silently, and after a moment she asked in a low voice.

"Is this what Ling meant by chuuni?"

"That's about right. Estelle is about that age now..."

Fang Zheng silently pressed his forehead. To be honest, it was really cold.

At the same time, Estell and her group also started fighting with the "sky pirates". It must be admitted that although Estell and Joshua are not very old, they are still quite strong and have the upper hand against those sky pirates. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the outcome is decided.

"What now?"

Seeing that her prey was snatched away by someone, Fei felt unhappy at the moment. Although her expression didn't change, her tone was obviously not very good.

"Don't worry, there is still a chance."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng pointed at the pirates' airship not far away.

"Let's get what we want first."

So, just like that, taking advantage of the gap in the fierce battle between the two sides, Fang Zheng and Fei quietly sneaked into the opponent's airship, and then began to search the warehouse.

But after searching for a long time, they still didn't find what they were looking for.

"How's it going? Fei? Did you find it over there?"

"No."

"That's strange. They were clearly moving goods just now..."

Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps from above, followed by an angry voice.

"Hurry, take off!"

"Don't let them catch us!!"

Soon, the airship shook violently, and then flew directly into the air. Fang Zheng looked out through the porthole, and saw that not far below, Estelle and her group were running away in the smoke bomb... So, you fought like this and the other party still managed to escape? It's true that young people are prone to making mistakes.

"Forget it, I won't look for it anymore. It's faster to just ask."

Fang Zheng made a decisive decision, and then he and Fei left the warehouse and came to the operating room in front of the airship. At this moment, the hunters were also in a mess, but even so, they were operating the instruments very nervously, and it was obvious that they were afraid of being caught.

Fang Zheng gestured to Fei, who nodded and raised his weapon again.

“Drip, drip, drip.”

Just when the two were about to take action, suddenly, a communication call was heard on the console, and then one of the hunters turned on the communication, and then a low voice was heard from it.

"Have you left yet?"

"We were almost caught. Damn it. What happened to those guerrillas?"

"Guerrilla?"

Hearing the hunter's complaint, the voice on the other side paused.

"Don't worry about them. Did you get the things?"

"certainly."

"Very good, now come to location C."

"Now?"

"Now."

"……clear."

The hunter ended the communication, and then turned the airship and flew away again. Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and signaled Fei to stop.

"Let's wait and see, maybe something good will happen."

The two hid back in the warehouse, and after a while, the airship stopped at the edge of a lake, and then the hatch opened, and the hunters left the airship. It was not until this time that Fang Zheng and Fei came out again and walked out of the airship. Then they saw that not far away, the hunters were talking to a man in black, wearing a mask and a helmet.

"Where's the stuff?"

"Here."

As he spoke, the leading hunter took something out of his arms, and the other party took a look at it.

The next moment, the sword flashed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the sword light like lightning swept directly across the bodies of those hunters, and then those hunters spurted blood and fell to the ground.

“——!”

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but whistle.

"I never thought that someone would be faster than me. It seems that you are the mastermind behind this?"

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, the man turned around and looked at Fang Zheng.

"You are... Fang Zheng, the president of Starlight Technology? Why are you here?"

"Because there was something from our Starlight Technology on the missing ship... ah, that thing you're holding in your hand. So I came to see if I could find it... After all, we can't just throw our stuff away."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng pointed at the small box in the masked man's hand. Noticing Fang Zheng's gaze, the masked man remained silent.

"Although I don't know who you are, but if you take our Starlight Technology's things and want to run away, it won't be a good thing."

"…I'm sorry, Mr. Fang Zheng, I think you made a mistake."

At this moment, the masked man suddenly spoke.

"I'm not the mastermind behind this. In fact, I'm Lieutenant Lawrence Borg, the captain of the special forces unit of the Liberl Kingdom Intelligence Department. This time, I came here to investigate the disappearance of the scheduled ship under the order of the special forces department."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng slowly walked in front of the masked man and stared at him.

"Do you think I will believe you if you say that?"

"This is my identification."

As he spoke, the masked man took out his ID and handed it to Fang Zheng, who took it and glanced at it.

"so what?"

"So, we are not the mastermind behind this. We just intercepted the intelligence of these sky pirates and disguised ourselves as their buyers to meet them here."

"And what you want to buy is the core component of our Starlight Technology? I think you should go to the Chase Central Workshop to order this thing."

"The core component is the most important secret of our Liberl Kingdom. We must take it back at all costs."

“…”

“…”

For a while, neither of them spoke. After a long while, Fang Zheng sneered.

"Okay, let's just take it as what you said... Then, can you give it back to me?"

"...Of course."

Faced with Fang Zheng's request, the masked man hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, then handed over the small box in his hand. Fang Zheng took the box, opened it, looked at it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Borg. I hope you can rescue the hostages as soon as possible."

"We will."

After saying this, the masked man saluted Fang Zheng and then turned to leave. Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and watched the masked man disappear into the woods, then he grinned.

"Okay, Fei, let's go back."
