Chapter 1597 Unexpected
As the heavy metal gate was fully raised, a blast of cool air rushed out.

Behind the door was a long, narrow passageway made entirely of cold-hardened alloy, its walls gleaming with a deathly pale light, exuding a chilling and eerie atmosphere.

“Oh!” Antonio raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “Your important figure is quite hospitable. Knowing we were coming, he opened the door for us. How polite.”

“…That’s not what I meant…” Eli stared at the solemn and eerily silent passage before him, muttering to himself, unable to understand why the door had opened at this moment.

"What does that mean? You just said that only the master has the authority to open it. Isn't this obviously an invitation for us to go in?" Antonio said, but he didn't move an inch.

The logic was sound, but Eli couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He instinctively glanced at the military personnel beside him.

"What are you looking at me for?" The leader, fuming with nowhere to vent his anger, showed Eli the slightest bit of politeness. "You believe everything they say? Do you even have your own principles? Have you taken too many benefits from the Noah and forgotten that you're a diplomat from Sersorn?"

Eli wanted to spit in that brute's face; how dare he accuse him of treason!

Arguing in front of foreign guests and exposing internal conflicts within Sersorn is not a good thing. The military is known for its lack of common sense; their Foreign Affairs Department can't afford to be foolish like them!

Eli glared at the other man and asked, "Then what do you mean by opening the door? He's your direct superior in the military. Maybe if you contact him, you'll get a reply faster than I will?"

The leader looked up at the terminal; all the messages he had sent were still unread.

First, the hidden door that should have been concealed slid open for no reason, and now even the shielded door is opening by itself... If he hadn't been keeping a close eye on Lin Fan and the other two's movements, he would have really suspected that these people had used some kind of trick again.

But to say that the Supreme Leader initiated the event... he also felt something was off...

In that short time, Lin Fan had already checked the safety of the passage and politely asked Eli and the other man, "Would you like to go first?"

He glanced at Eli Zhang's hesitant expression and the military man's inscrutable face, then nodded slightly: "Then let's go first."

After saying that, he strode inside.

Antonio followed closely behind, taking three leaps at a time. The black-clad crew members on either side followed in unison after Qi Mai gave a gesture.

Cen Fangyuan smiled and gestured for Eli and the leader to enter.

The leader gave a heavy "humph," waved for the military sentries behind him to follow, and hurriedly went forward to catch up with Lin Fan.

Eli reacted a little slower and was knocked off balance by the military sentries who rushed up to him. He was pushed aside and almost lost his footing, but was quickly supported by Cen Fangyuan.

"Minister Eli, be careful." Cen Fangyuan smiled gently and moved softly, looking him up and down with concern, asking, "Are you hurt?"

Eli gazed at the sky, speechless. How could such a contrast leave one unmoved?

Fortunately, we have a friendly relationship with the Noah, so we don't need to worry too much about our positions.

The crew on the Noah are truly remarkable. Each member possesses unique strengths in both personality and actions, complementing and benefiting each other like an impenetrable iron barrel, leaving virtually no opening.

If only the Thales could be this united.

Sighing inwardly, he put on his usual social smile and chatted casually with Cen Fangyuan about some innocent and trivial matters. He waited leisurely until all the military sentries had left before leading the foreign affairs sentries to catch up.

It's said to be neither too fast nor too slow, but it's not actually that slow.

After all, the two groups in front of them were on the verge of a fight, and a battle could break out at any moment.

It's fine if he wasn't there.

He's physically present but is slacking off; if this leads to a major diplomatic incident, he won't be able to wear this uniform tomorrow.

Although the situation has spiraled out of control and is difficult to manage, and punishment is inevitable, it is still within a manageable range and there is room for redemption. If those reckless men in the military are allowed to act freely, it will be very difficult to avoid a complete breakdown in relations with the Noah.

Furthermore, this matter seems to involve that person in the military.

If it's true, he definitely can't miss out on being in the front row to enjoy the show!
The military has repeatedly looked down on their foreign affairs department, so they shouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Of course, you can't show it; you have to do it quietly...

Yi was carefully considering all possible scenarios and when it would be most appropriate to intervene—ensuring his own safety while highlighting the prominent role of the Foreign Affairs Department.

When he arrived at the destination, he found that the situation in the room was completely different from what he had expected.

Looking in from outside the door, the Noah's crew in black and the military sentries stood on either side.

The men in black on the left stood in neat rows, their postures upright, holding guns, their heads tilted to the side like silent blades, exuding a cold and intimidating aura.

The military sentries on the right stood relatively casually, but everyone's face was tense and their expressions were wary. Almost everyone was leaning to the side, their eyes fixed on the person on their left, creating a tense atmosphere.

The two groups faced each other from a distance of less than two meters, locked in a silent standoff.

In the quiet space, there seemed to be a faint buzzing sound, but it was blocked by the dense crowds on both sides, so no one could see what was going on inside.

Eli rushed in without hesitation.

Foreign Affairs Department sentries followed closely behind, forming a long line with a narrow gap, separating the two sides that were about to clash.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lin Fan and his companion, who were standing at the front of the two opposing forces, were far away from the military leaders and showed no signs of fighting.

At the same time, the glimmer of hope in my heart was completely shattered into pieces.

Following their gaze, he saw the Supreme Ruler, who shouldn't have been there and whom he had just sworn not to be on Planet Plame, standing there in the middle of the field.

He stood sideways, his hands behind his back, looking calmly ahead, seemingly oblivious to the intrusion of the crowd.

Not far ahead, the cause of their turmoil—the white-haired Jin Sichen—was bound hand and foot to a chair, his ankles tightly fastened with metal restraint rings, his predicament immediately apparent.

The sunglasses he always wore fell to the ground. His eyes were closed, but judging from his head posture, he had not lost consciousness.

No one spoke. In the eerie silence that filled the room, Eli finally noticed the rows of workbenches and sealed chambers of all sizes standing against the wall, along with various familiar and unfamiliar experimental instruments...

This scene looks exactly like the higher-ups of Sersorn kidnapped Jin Sichen and are going to use him for experiments!

Eli was completely flustered, but he had to force himself to suppress his panic and desperately try to come up with a solution to salvage the situation.

"This... misunderstanding, misunderstanding..." He quickly glanced at the military leader, who was equally confused and looked bewildered, and then strode towards Jin Sichen.

"Don't go over there!" Lin Fan shouted softly, successfully stopping the anxious Eli.

Cen Fangyuan asked Antonio in a low voice, knowing that Jin Sichen had closed her eyes only after seeing them, and understood the situation. Using Antonio's body as cover, he silently turned on the terminal camera.

Eli stood frozen in the middle, about to turn to Lin Fan to explain, when Jin Sichen suddenly spoke up.

“Repeat what you did to Helian Rongjin from beginning to end.”

Cen Fangyuan thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and lightly tapped his finger to press the live broadcast button.
