Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"What did you say?" The father immediately became anxious upon hearing this. "Feifan, don't be impulsive! The person is no longer in Belarus, but in Russia. If you walk in like this, you might face their troops."

"It doesn't matter, I'll sneak in and make sure no one finds me."

If there are still people there at that time.

"That's too risky!"

"Which of the places I investigated back then wasn't dangerous? You must have some faith in me."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the father said, "Okay, but be careful and never confront their people head-on."

"You agree?"

"I can't control you now. If I don't agree, will you give up?"

"of course not."

"That's right. Because of the urgency, I can't spare any more people here, but there is one more person who can come and help you."

"Who?"

"Robert".

"..."

Isaac was at a loss for words.

He knew the fighting ability of the maid in his house. She had planned to go to Belarus with him to protect a girl named Mira for a week, but he didn't expect her to still be able to come.

"Wait here in Thailand a few more days. She has already bought her plane ticket and should arrive at your place tonight."

"Okay, adding her won't hurt."

"Well, although I know I can't persuade you, you must promise me to be careful and to run away immediately if there is any danger."

"OK."

Run away? I would never run away.

After exchanging a few perfunctory words, Isaac hung up the phone; he still needed to wait for a teammate.

--------

Meanwhile, the father on the other end of the phone slumped helplessly in his office chair.

"I can't believe that one day... I would agree to let my son do something so dangerous."

He had always wanted to free his children from this war-torn world, so he lived a normal life in Manhattan, New York, hiding his identity.

The accident happened when they went to attend the Christmas party hosted by Testarossa's family.

He knew that his son had also entered the same world as him, and that all of this was unavoidable.

"If Feifan also comes to this point, I can only protect him in my own way."

With that thought in mind, he picked up the phone again and dialed.

"Hello? This is Mithril Western Pacific Command."

"This is headquarters. Would it be convenient for your commander to take this call?"

"Okay, I'm transferring you."

Not long after, a soft, sweet female voice rang out.

"Hey?"

“Hey, Tessa, long time no see,” Isaac’s father said with a smile.

“Uncle Yao? No, my apologies, it should be Major General Yao.” Tessa’s voice sounded somewhat flustered.

"Haha, don't be so formal. Your father and I are good friends, so it's fine for you to call me uncle," the father laughed. "Is there something I can trouble you with?"

"If you say so, I will do my best."

"It's nothing major, I just wanted to arrange for someone to join the logistics or intelligence department of your Western Pacific Command. What do you think?"

"That's no problem. Who would you like to let in, Uncle?"

"The one you met when you were a child, my son Yao Feifan."

"..."

Tessa suddenly fell silent, but he could hear the sound of something falling to the ground over the phone.

"Um... is it inconvenient?"

“No, you’re very welcome! If you’d like to come, Brother Isaac!” Tessa exclaimed excitedly.

"Hahaha, as long as there are no problems."

Isaac's father had a simple idea: as long as his son entered Mithril, he would definitely have a way to protect him.

Chapter 617: The Operation Begins

"Hey, aren't you guys tired?"

That evening, in their residence, Levi and Robert stared at each other.

Robert had flown to Thailand earlier and found a car to go to Roanapura. Isaac picked her up outside the city and took her to his residence.

Seeing her young master living in such a messy place, Robert was about to say something when, just then, Levi, who had just finished showering, came out of the bathroom and bumped into her.

So the two of them just stared at each other, for reasons unknown.

"Young master, who is this woman?"

"I should be asking you that! Coming to Roanapur dressed as a maid, are you out of your mind?"

Isaac: "You two calm down."

He had anticipated that the two would have a quarrel when they met.

Robert didn't particularly like these thugs, and Levi didn't like this kind of seemingly respectable woman either.

"Young master, if you can't stand the loneliness while you're abroad, don't go looking for those shady women."

"Who are you calling a disreputable woman?!"

"Alright, stop arguing," Isaac said, seeing the two of them looking like they were about to come to blows.

Robert turned to Isaac, looking very respectful: "Young Master, Madam has been very worried about your condition."

"What do I have to worry about?"

“She’s worried you’re becoming like the master,” Robert said.

“…There’s even less to worry about.” Isaac coughed twice. “The person next to you is Levi. We’ve been friends since we were very young, and we’ve reunited in Roanapur.”

"So you're the young master's friend. I was truly rude earlier." Robert quickly bowed to Levi, only to be met with a 'tsk' from the other side.

"You understand the mission your father sent you here this time, right?"

"Yes, we have a general understanding of the details of the mission to infiltrate the KGB's research facility and capture a girl named Kurt Mira."

"Alright, make some preparations, and don't wear your maid outfit on the mission."

"Yes."

Robert went out first, and Isaac was about to follow when Levi stopped him.

"what happened?"

"Did I hear that right? You're going to cause trouble for the KGB?"

"Yes."

“You really have gone mad…” Levi sat down in the chair, distressed. “What exactly did you go through during the four years we were apart?”

She still had the image of Isaac in her mind, somewhat timid but very gentle.

It's completely the opposite of what it is now.

"Don't worry, it's nothing dangerous," Isaac reassured him with a smile.

"Forget it, I can't persuade you anyway," Revy said with a wry smile.

"Yes, once I've made a decision, it's something I absolutely must accomplish."

Isaac laughed, took a cigarette out of his pocket, and put it in his mouth.

Since arriving in Roanapura, Isaac has found that his smoking habit may be getting worse, but he still maintains the habit of smoking only two cigarettes a day.

Although she can't remember exactly how she developed this habit.

"Give me one too."

"Oh."

He handed the cigarette to Levi, and just as he was about to light it for her, Levi suddenly reached out and hugged Isaac's neck, bringing her face close to his.

The cigarette butt touched the lit cigarette in Isaac's mouth.

"..."

To be honest, this pose looks a lot like kissing.

Thanks.

Levi took a drag of her lit cigarette, her face showing a tenderness unlike her usual fierce expression.

"Be careful, you must come back alive."

"of course."

----------

Inside the cargo hold of a ship, there are all kinds of firearms and ammunition; you can see every type of firearm available on the market here.

Robert changed into a smart outfit: a white shirt, a bulletproof vest, and black leather pants.

She changed her braids to long, straight hair, and she stopped wearing those comical round-framed glasses.

She's like a completely different person now. Unlike the maid who always tries to hide her identity, she exudes a heroic and spirited aura from the inside out.

"Have you chosen your weapons?"
