[What are Shadow Cards? Do Butterfly Shadow Cards belong to this category?]
[When you use the Shadow Card, you will instantly transform into the character shown above, gaining the power befitting a god-tier card. Therefore, this character must be completely different from you to ensure you are not exposed.]
[God-level power?]
[That's god-level power; it truly possesses the ability to destroy the world. However, once the Butterfly Shadow Card's energy is depleted, you'll need to replenish it with beast cores or energy ore, which is quite expensive.]
[How many? ]
Old Xing thought for a moment, "[That's roughly equivalent to the amount of Federal Credits needed to buy ten premium cards at an auction.]"
Lian Han: ...At auctions, even top-tier cards are often overpriced, so ten of them—she thought of the starting price for the Liz card at a previous auction, which was nine zeros, I think? And that was just the starting bid. Why did she suddenly feel so poor?
[However, exhausting the energy of a god-level card isn't easy. Don't worry about this for the next three to five years. It's not feasible here. Try it when you get back. You must master it completely before going to the Demon Abyss.] Otherwise, you'll just be sending yourself to the Demon Abyss.
[Understood.] Lian Han nodded. Putting aside the safety of those cards, she didn't want to fail at the side quest again; who knew what would happen next time.
Lian Han glanced at the card in her hand again and put the Butterfly Shadow Card away. No matter how curious she was, she had to be careful about the time and place. If her second brother and the others saw her, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even with eight mouths, and she might even be dragged to be used as a sample for experiments.
After finishing all this, Lian Han checked the time on the smart device again. It was past four in the morning. He needed to catch up on his sleep when he got back. Making briefcases was truly exhausting.
The girl sat relaxed in the back seat of the hovercar, but suddenly felt a chill on her neck, and a hoarse voice sounded in her ear, "Don't move, drive."
Lian Han: ...How did this person do that? She didn't notice at all?
Seeing that she didn't move, the energy-based dagger moved forward a little, directly slashing a bloody mark on her neck.
Where are you going?
Her poor neck was first choked and then threatened today.
"Star Harbor".
"003, target location: Starport."
Before leaving, Ling Yue had her AI take over the hovercar as a precaution—although it was of no use, she could now indeed drive the car.
The male voice warned, "You'd better not try anything funny."
"I wouldn't dare. I value my life."
The girl's clear, cold voice finally caught the man's attention, and he was instantly captivated by her beauty. This captivation caused him to thrust the dagger forward another inch, making the girl's face turn pale.
The man, regaining his senses, moved the dagger away slightly. "Out in the middle of the night?"
"I just got up a little early."
"That's right, it's almost five o'clock. Turn the speed up to the maximum."
Lian Han frowned. "Speeding will attract the traffic police."
"You don't want to be rescued?"
"I value my life." This guy is obviously no ordinary person. He might be Ling Yue's mission. Why bring the traffic police here to cause trouble? If things get chaotic, she'll be the first one to suffer.
"A clever girl. But I just want things to get chaotic."
The girl pursed her lips, feeling the pain in her neck, and reluctantly said, "003, go to the starport at maximum speed."
"yes."
The girl wore a long blue dress, her black hair cascading down her shoulders. Her exquisite face was slightly pale, like a delicate flower that would vanish with the slightest touch. She must be some pampered young lady raised in a greenhouse.
The man's gaze darkened. "Yi Jun, that's my name."
Lian Han: ...Why do I have a bad feeling? She didn't want to know this person's name at all.
"As a lady, shouldn't you introduce yourself?"
"But a man threatening someone with a knife is clearly not a gentleman."
Yi Jun's dagger went in another inch, pressing tightly against her neck. The girl's face was deathly pale, but she stubbornly pursed her lips, refusing to look at him, appearing unwilling to give in. Little did she know that her demeanor only made people want to bully her even more.
His dark eyes held a sinister glint, then curved into a smile; he had changed his mind. This innocent, delicate flower was, of course, meant to be corrupted. As for how to corrupt her, he needed to think it over carefully.
Watching the girl put on her dramatic act, Old Man Xing sighed helplessly, "Girl, that's enough. Be careful not to slip up."
[Perfect acting, I'm also very lonely.] Lian Han replied, but leaned back slightly. After touching the man's chest, she quickly straightened up, and the dagger at her neck went in another inch.
"Don't move around." Yi Jun frowned.
The girl pursed her lips, her eyes finally unable to hold back as she glared at him, watery and filled with grievance, making her appear even more vulnerable and helpless.
Feeling inexplicably guilty, Yi Jun looked away. "Don't cry."
Old Xing: ...He can be cold or weak as he pleases. If he had that kind of acting skill back then, he wouldn't have been surrounded and attacked by those guys.
Just below their hovercar, several figures were falling in the distance. Lian Han guessed correctly; this man named Yi Jun was Ling Yue and the others' target.
Staring intently at the hovercar in the sky, Ling Yue's face was gloomy. If he was usually an ice block, he was now an ancient ice block, and anyone who dared to take a step closer would be frozen to death.
My younger sister is still in the car. Judging from her appearance, it's obvious she's been kidnapped. She's only 15 years old; she's still a child.
"Young Master Ling, calm down. The hovercar is still moving, which means Miss Han is not in any immediate danger. We've already instructed Starport to make preparations." Only Han Ningshu could still say a few words to him.
They were overconfident and their intelligence was flawed, causing them to underestimate the difficulty of this mission. That man absolutely cannot escape from the Imperial Capital.
As for Miss Han—if all else fails, we'll just have to let her go. We absolutely cannot allow her to leave the capital with the information. Whether Ling Yue holds a grudge afterward or he has to go to the Ling family to apologize, he'll bear it all. It's just that Miss Han is unlucky.
Lian Han was unaware that she had already been put on a list of people who could be discarded. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the man who was holding her hostage. His features were stiff and unremarkable, and it was obvious that he was using a disguise card.
Her voice wasn't pleasant either; I wonder what her face looked like under the disguise card. If it was really good-looking, she might reluctantly go easy on her.
This is Miss Lian, the one being kidnapped, still eyeing the kidnapper's face...
Despite 003's excessive speed, and after their hovercar, whose owner is unknown, was remembered by numerous traffic police robots, they finally arrived at the Starport unharmed.
The Star Harbor appears to have been cleared out, with people keeping their distance, yet the security force has reportedly more than doubled.
"Get out of the car." Yi Jun grabbed the girl's hands, pressed the dagger against her back, and told her to get out of the car first.
Lian Han was quite cooperative.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they were immediately surrounded by a dense array of gun barrels, waiting for an order to annihilate the enemy.
"They're pretty fast." Yi Jun looked behind him and saw Ling Yue and the others arriving late in their roller skates.
But he didn't notice that, seeing such a grand scene for the first time, the delicate flower's eyes lit up slightly, completely different from her usual fragility.
"Release the hostages." Ling Yue's voice was icy cold.
