The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 788 Recovery
However, it seems clear at present that the person behind the scenes has a slight advantage in this round.

Despite the tight security provided by the Four Seas Trading Company and the defenses of numerous forces, they were still able to achieve such a result, and the organizers have yet to resolve the issue. They are truly quite capable.

"My father has received the news and is dispatching nearby soldiers to provide assistance as quickly as possible. They should be arriving soon. He told us not to worry about the rest. There are a lot of messy things and messy people involved, so don't get involved and get yourself dirty."

This assessment is quite harsh; it's hard to imagine that such words came from the elegant and self-possessed Uncle Zhou, which shows how dissatisfied he was.

“Commander Zhou must be having another headache.” Jiang Hui shook his head. This elder’s health was worrying, but he was always concerned about the safety of the empire. After what happened today, he would probably have several sleepless nights.

Although he couldn't see his friend's expression in the darkness, Jiang Hui still heard a barely audible sigh, as if the other person was also helpless about the situation.

With the western defense line in turmoil and the Zhou family in a critical period of recovery, Zhou Yuanjing could only drag his ailing body around, keeping himself extremely busy.

Zhou Xiuwen naturally felt sorry for his father, but unfortunately he was still young and lacked the ability to help.

Attending the auction today was originally just an insignificant event. Zhou Xiuwen was only representing the Zhou Clan to show his face, make a gesture, and meet up with his friends. Who would have thought that he would run into someone else's conspiracy?

Recalling this familiar feeling of frustration, the three friends in the darkness sighed in unison.

"Let's wait here for a while. Uncle Faria replied that things are almost finished and he'll arrange for us to leave soon." Zhou Xiuwen had an emergency communicator and was probably unaffected by the situation, so he successfully contacted Commander Zhou.

Jiang Hui and Clarence naturally had no objections to this. Just as Jiang Hui was about to say something, Clarence raised his voice slightly to remind him, "Did your spatial button light up for a moment?" Actually, it wasn't just once; Clarence recalled that he also seemed to have caught a fleeting glimpse of a blush when he first came in.

"There's a signal now?"

Jiang Hui's question was like a switch; almost simultaneously, the pitch-black space began to flash, followed by a flurry of overlapping messages.

"It's over already?" In the dim light, Zhou Xiuwen raised his eyes slightly, looking at the two people opposite him with some surprise.

The other two's personal computers also resumed communication at the same time.

At the same time, everyone felt a sudden burst of bright light before their eyes, instantly filling the dark space.

As a deluge of spiritual information spread from outside, the sounds, both high and low, coalesced, and in an instant, the space became deafening. One could imagine how chaotic things were outside without even looking.

"It seems we're safe now, otherwise these nobles wouldn't have the time to shout and yell." Clarence glanced sideways, thinking somewhat casually.

It's so noisy. As the person with the highest mental sensitivity among them, Jiang Hui pressed her temples, only to feel her temples throbbing and her head throbbing even more. She could even clearly hear an unknown noble young man nearby screaming that the heirloom beaded necklace he had just bought had been trampled to pieces, and demanding an explanation from the Four Seas Trading Company.

No, although the sudden power outage did cause some chaos, and some people took advantage of the situation, those still able to speak and breathe are probably not the targets. So how did you manage to throw yourself into disarray and ruin your hard-earned, priceless collection?

With a blank expression, Jiang Hui used a mental barrier to slap those 'lively' and haphazardly extended mental messages back to their original owner.

"I understand. I will be careful, don't worry." Zhou Xiuwen immediately reconnected with Zhou Yuanjing after the communication was restored. After all, although the emergency communicator could force communication in extreme environments, it was not as convenient as a personal computer.

Now that things were over, there was nothing to worry about. Zhou Yuanjing immediately called to confirm his only son's safety and also made arrangements for the younger ones to leave the area.

Clarence was the second person whose personal computer communication went off like crazy. Zhou Xiuwen had only been connected to Commander Zhou's message for a few seconds when his family also called.

Fortunately, Stark was immediately dispatched to carry out an important mission after contacting her that time, so it was probably inconvenient for him to contact her in between. Otherwise, he would have called to inquire about the situation by now.

However, it was strange that the guy was suddenly so quiet. Jiang Hui pulled down the chat box, found the page still showing the chat group with dozens of stars, and finally landed on the other party's message 'Wait for me'.

"Alright, Father said the danger has been largely eliminated, and the people waiting outside are all arranged." Zhou Xiuwen hung up the call, then looked at his two friends and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Shall we leave now, hmm?"

Why don't we leave? Although no real danger ultimately occurred, the two felt uneasy just thinking that they were in a dangerous area teeming with unknown enemies.

"Haha, it seems you guys are still a bit scared. But you all look so calm and collected, like nothing happened. I thought you didn't care at all."

“Young Master Zhou, if we really put it this way, even three of me combined wouldn’t be as big a target as you alone. You’re the one who should be afraid, right?” Clarence said without any politeness.

"Hey, don't forget who was the one who pulled you out just now! Clarence, aren't you the same? I'm afraid you'll tire Ah Hui out."

Hey, why are you two hurting each other like this? Jiang Hui thought to herself. Neither of them are childish, but they like to tease each other whenever they meet. Yet, sometimes they are incredibly in sync. They are one of the more awkward pairs among them.

They couldn't see anything when they arrived, but now they can see it clearly. The place where they were temporarily staying wasn't any of the private rooms; it was long and empty, but not a corridor. It seemed to be a specially cleared, hollow mezzanine space.

Looking at it this way, Jiang Hui finally understood why these people were so at ease hiding Zhou Xiuwen here. This place couldn't possibly have been specially built as a hiding place, could it? Not only was it incredibly well-concealed, seemingly without end, but the entire space also appeared to be protected by some kind of barrier. Even if spiritual energy and sound managed to penetrate through this layer, they would be redirected through some invisible means and special structure, then change course and spread out, making it impossible to discern the exact origin of the sound.

The leaders were clearly very familiar with this place, and almost without thinking, they chose the fork in the road to find the way they came.
