"Of course I won't act on impulse," Oakland said slowly. "But I need to see with my own eyes that Brother Irving is safe and sound. He's seriously ill, and any emotional fluctuations might affect him. I must confirm his safety before I agree to your terms."
After hearing the first half of Oakland's words, Jessica thought her threat had worked and he was finally willing to give in, but she didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
But if you think about it carefully, what he said seems to make sense.
"Hmph, then it's as you say." Jessica said and turned away.
Auckland took the opportunity to cast a ray of spiritual consciousness on her. With her leading the way, it would be much easier to find Brother Owen.
While he was pretending to be asleep, he had already tried to release his spiritual consciousness, extending it outwards, trying to find the whereabouts of Brother Owen.
However, this underground fortress was interconnected and had a very complex terrain. It was very difficult to find someone. He searched for a long time but could not find where Owen was imprisoned.
After Jessica left, Oakland also began to close his eyes and rest, but in fact he was following Jessica's movements through his spiritual sense to search for Owen's whereabouts.
He watched Jessica take the elevator down to the fifth underground floor, then walk down a long corridor to a place resembling a hospital. There were many people in white clothes, and Brother Owen lay in a repair cabin. If it weren't for his recent diligent training, which had further improved his cultivation, his spiritual awareness probably wouldn't have been able to reach that far.
"How is he?" Jessica walked closer to Owen's repair cabin and asked the man lying inside with his eyes closed, his body soaked in repair fluid.
"He does have a genetic disease, but after long-term treatment, his gene chain now seems to have stabilized a lot."
"Wake him up, someone wants to see him."
"Yes, Miss Jessica."
Auckland's spiritual consciousness could only see the picture and could not hear the conversation. When he saw that Brother Owen was safe and sound and went upstairs with Jessica under the escort of several guards, he felt a lot more at ease.
While Jessica and Owen were still waiting, Oakland went over to inspect the intelligent mecha. As far as he knew, it was made of a special memory metal, fused with human cells, achieving organic mecha functionality. Besides possessing a certain degree of self-repair, it could also adapt to the operator's form. In other words, the mecha was custom-made by incorporating the owner's own cells.
Who could have ordered such a mecha and insisted that he personally engrave the magic patterns on it? Could it be Aiden Gladstone's mecha?
Knowing that the room was full of surveillance cameras, Oakland slowly walked around the room, leaving a sharp mark on these surveillance cameras. Then he walked to the intelligent mecha, pretending to touch the mecha, and quietly picked up a piece of metal from the mecha under the cover of his hand and put it into the storage ring. Maybe it could become evidence later.
Everything is ready, and now he just has to wait quietly for Brother Irving to arrive.
He didn't have to wait too long before Jessica brought Owen into the room. She had an energy gun in her hand and pressed it against Owen's back.
"Brother Irving, are you okay?" When Auckland saw Irving, he immediately stepped forward excitedly and asked.
"I'm fine... I'm sorry for burdening you."
"That's not true!"
Seeing the two getting closer, Jessica immediately interrupted, "Stop, don't get any closer, or my gun won't have eyes! So, now that you've seen the person with your own eyes, you can work with peace of mind, right?"
"Yeah, I feel much more at ease." Oakland looked at Irving, "Brother Irving, don't worry, I will definitely get you out."
"Of course I'm relieved." Irving successfully received Auckland's signal and replied with a smile.
Others might not know, but how could Owen not know Auckland's abilities? He was capable of single-handedly handling numerous insects and even tearing apart an Overlord. It was ridiculous that this woman named Jessica had actually brought him into the house alone, leaving the guards at the door. She was truly bold.
As expected, the next moment, Auckland moved. He knocked the energy gun out of Jessica's hand with a knife, then grabbed Jessica's beautiful long hair and threw her to the ground without mercy. Jessica screamed in shock and was thrown to the ground. Her bones seemed to be about to fall apart.
Owen walked forward leisurely, picked up the energy gun from the ground, and pointed it at Jessica's head. "Miss Jessica, I hope you won't act rashly, or my gun won't have eyes."
Owen threw back to her what she had said before. Jessica gritted her teeth in anger, but her body was in so much pain that she couldn't move even if she wanted to. She could only turn her head and look at the guards guarding the door, hoping that they would take action to subdue Auckland.
The guards at the door immediately realized that something was wrong after hearing Jessica's scream. They drew their guns and rushed inside, but saw a black shadow rushing over and punching them accurately on the temples. Seven or eight guards fell to the ground one by one without a sound, and there was no reaction at all.
"You...you guys..." Jessica widened her eyes in disbelief, as if Auckland was an alien.
Auckland closed the door of the room and everyone fell into the room so that no one would notice anything unusual in the room for the time being.
"Do you think you can escape?! This room is full of surveillance cameras! The people at the monitoring center have noticed something is wrong! They'll send someone over soon!"
"Oh? Really? How about we make a bet?" Auckland asked with a smile.
For some reason, although she was very sure about something, when she saw the smile on Auckland's face, Jessica was startled and no longer dared to be so sure.
"Who are you?!" Jessica narrowed her eyes and looked at Auckland. His skills were so agile and skillful, not inferior to those of the combat divisions. This person could not be the Auckland Campbell who was useless before the second awakening of his mental power in the information.
"I'm Auckland Campbell." Auckland still smiled.
"It's useless to capture me! This isn't a place where I have complete control. Even if you take me hostage, they won't let you go!"
"Oh." Oakland replied nonchalantly, "I wasn't planning on going out anyway."
He believed that Hall would arrive as quickly as possible, and he and his elder brother Owen just needed to wait patiently.
"What did you say?! You..."
Auckland couldn't stand her constant yelling, so he simply knocked her out with a palm, then took out the nutrient solution from the storage ring and shared it with Owen.
******
At this time, Hall had already led a team of 500 people from the Second Army to rush to the rescue at the fastest speed.
After watching him leave, Aiden Gladstone said to General Williams, "Such a serious matter has happened in your family. I shouldn't have continued to disturb you, but this concerns the safety of the country, so I have to hurry up."
"It's okay, my son can handle it."
"General, you have a good son."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"If there's anything we can do to help the First Army, please let me know. With so few men, it's not easy to find help on the capital planet."
"Okay, if you need me, I will definitely not be polite."
General Williams sneered inwardly. Aiden had assumed they were out for a blanket search, unaware that Oakland and Hall had a special method of communication, and that Hall had actually headed straight for his destination. His son had even awakened the bloodline of a divine beast, and even he was no match for his son, so he wasn't worried at all.
