Shash Sen glanced at the wet documents on the table, then at her, frowned slightly, and slapped her across the face.
With a loud bang, the maid was sent flying and crashed into the wall, cracking the wall that was displaying the famous painting.
After she fell to the ground, she was barely breathing and clearly wouldn't live much longer.
"Let's have her as the main dish for lunch. Have someone come and clean up afterward."
"Yes!"
The intelligence chief nodded repeatedly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he cautiously said, "Lord Sen, notifying the other bases is no problem, but... those B-level players might not necessarily obey our orders. After all, the Holy Sword Alliance has the ability to take over the A9 base, so they are definitely not easy to deal with. They might just outwardly comply but inwardly defy us."
"You just need to give the notification; it's a good opportunity to test who's not following orders."
Shash Sen said coldly, "Disobedient dogs should naturally be dealt with."
"I see."
The intelligence chief nodded respectfully.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "By the way, Lord Mori, Miss Cassandra's birthday is coming soon."
“Cassandra? Come to think of it, she’s almost 17…”
Shash Sen thought of one of his "daughters" and instructed, "I will give her an evolution agent on her birthday."
"In the next few days, you will have some people keep a close eye on her. If she doesn't change much like the previous ones, then you will be responsible for dealing with her..."
He paused here, then shook his head and said, "No, girls with her outstanding looks are rare. If she doesn't meet the requirements, just control her and send her to me. She'll be good as a toy."
"Yes."
Just as the intelligence chief was about to respectfully leave, there was another knock on the door.
Shash Sen was quite surprised and replied, "Come in."
Soon, the door opened.
Dickens walked in with a solemn expression.
Upon seeing the intelligence chief inside the room and the maid lying on the ground, barely alive, Dickens was slightly taken aback. However, he quickly composed himself, went to the desk, and respectfully looked at Shash Sen, reporting, "Father, I have encountered people from the Holy Sword Alliance!"
“Hmm?” Shash Sen looked at his nominal “son” and frowned, “Tell me the specifics.”
"Today, a mysterious figure suddenly sneaked into my mansion, met with me, and revealed his identity as a member of the Holy Sword Alliance."
Dickens quickly explained, "Just as I was about to subdue him, he suddenly told me that if I wanted to know the truth about my amnesia, I should disguise myself and go to the East Gate area outside the base, where someone would come to meet me."
"He also warned me that if I revealed the information, they would cancel the operation."
At this point, he revealed a smug expression and said, "Hehe, that guy is such an idiot! He doesn't even know what abilities I have, yet he still dared to break into my house."
"Don't worry, Father, I've already marked him. He's currently active in our A1 base and hasn't left yet."
"However, to avoid alerting him, I did not act rashly. Father, what should we do with him?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shash Sen's expression changed drastically.
He immediately stood up and asked, "Are you sure he told you that he knows about your memory loss and why?"
“That’s what he said,” Dickens nodded.
“Good! Very good!” Shash Sen said, “The Holy Sword Alliance is indeed not a simple organization. They even know about that incident from back then... It seems we can’t let them live.”
"Back then?" Dickens asked, puzzled. "What happened back then?"
Shash Sen glanced at his foolish son, calmed down, and said, "I'll tell you when the time is right. Now, lead the way. This time I'll personally handle it; I should be able to extract some information from him."
Chapter 472 Grade A Items
As Shash Sen took action, Echo also took action.
She concealed this from Dickens and secretly mobilized some of the Holy Sword Alliance members who were lurking in the A1 base, gathering them in the area surrounding Van Shaw's location.
Now that Dickens has the ability to track, he is with Sash Sen and cannot report Van Shaw's location to her in real time. She does not actually know which area Van Shaw is in.
But she knew Cassandra's location.
Cassandra was her primary target, so she naturally wouldn't leave her unprepared—she had used the guise of giving her a birthday present to secretly deliver a location-tracking device to her.
Unaware of the situation, Cassandra always wore the bracelet-shaped accessory on her left wrist, cherishing it greatly and never taking it off even when taking a bath.
Now, her student is working with Van Helsing, and she naturally knows his whereabouts perfectly well.
Of course, to avoid alerting Van Helsing, she didn't send many people close, and her orders weren't to follow them, but rather to operate normally in that area.
Furthermore, the previous members were all more than 100 meters away from Van Helsing.
With the obstruction of various buildings and the complex terrain, the probability of Van Helsing detecting them was very small.
Even if you notice it, it doesn't really matter.
As a fellow countryman of Van Helsing, it was perfectly reasonable for her to send some people into enemy territory to provide basic protection for her compatriots.
At this moment, most of the members of the Holy Sword Alliance have already gathered in her instance.
The Holy Sword Alliance has a total of 5 B-level players. Apart from Dickens, who has already gone to the A1 base, the remaining four are all here—Noah, Bing, Kathy, and Quint.
Kathy is the only female member of Class B. She wears glasses, has a beautiful face, and gives off an aura of calmness and intellectualism.
Indeed, her personality reflects this; she is more rational than most of the members.
"Leader, are we really going to make a move? And on their territory no less..."
Kathy glanced at Huiying and reminded him, "Alsenel is injured and recovering. Without her help, can the five of us... handle Shash Sen?"
"Alsenel's injury has almost fully recovered, there's no need to worry."
Huiying said, "And this time, I will also take action. We will use the dungeon rules to surround and kill Shash Sen."
The higher the dungeon level, the greater the authority of the dungeon boss.
For example, whether or not a dungeon will open is entirely within Echo's control.
Unless the ticket holders enter, no matter how many players she transfers into the instance, the instance will not be forcibly opened unless she agrees.
This is also why she dared to move all the members of the Holy Sword Alliance into the dungeon.
However, some dungeon rules only take effect after the dungeon is opened.
What supports the operation of these rules is the evolution of the game, not the dungeon bosses.
In other words... if she wants to use the dungeon rules to deal with Shash Sen, she has to open the dungeon first.
"Cassie, what are you afraid of?"
The eldest, Noah, frowned and said, "Now that guy Shash is planning to gather B-level players from other bases to deal with us."
"If we don't act now, we might not have another chance."
“Since Shash Sen retired, he has never left Base A1 to go anywhere else in Sector 019 except for work-related needs. I just find this behavior a bit strange…”
Kathy frowned and said, "Perhaps we shouldn't have broken into the A1 base. If we were to assassinate him... how about we ambush him on the train he's in charge of? We can still hold the anchoring ceremony on the train."
“Based on past patterns, Shash Sen will stay in Division 019 for two months.” The tall Quint sighed, “Perhaps your guess is correct, but given the current situation… I’m afraid we can’t wait that long.”
“Quent is right, we don’t have time to wait. Besides, there are risks involved in intercepting Shash Sen on the train.”
At this moment, Huiying spoke up, drawing everyone's attention: "After all, Shash Sen was once an A-level player. After so many years of development, he probably has considerable influence in Division 001."
“If we attack him on the train operated by Division 001, and slap the Division 001 gaming government in the face... they might send someone to investigate the situation to save face.”
"At that time, we might get into trouble that we could have avoided."
“But…” Kathy hesitated, “Bringing Shash Sen into the instance would be too dangerous for you, Alliance Leader. What if you were in danger…”
"There's no need to elaborate on this matter."
Huiying toned down her gentle demeanor, her tone unusually firm: "Every year, a large number of our members sacrifice themselves. As the head of the organization, how can I stand idly by?"
"Now that things have developed to this point, I was already prepared for it."
"You don't need to think the worst. So far, although there have been some bumps along the way, all our operations have been successful, and I believe this time will be no exception."
After a pause, she encouraged everyone, "I've already arranged for the members who will provide the coordinates at Base A1. They will appear at the crucial moment."
"This war should come to an end. Let's all calm down. I believe we will win... the final victory!"
……
A1 Base.
The eastern part of the main urban area.
North gate of Xier Park.
Dickens, along with Sash Sen and 30 members of the law enforcement team, approached the place silently.
The enforcement team naturally consisted of more than just these people, but in order to keep the operation secret, Shash Sen didn't call in too many players.
Although Dickens felt that 30 people... was already quite a big deal.
Their target is only one person!
Moreover, the team leader, Shash Sen, was once an A-level player!
A-level player leading dozens of C-level players to gang up on a B-level player... isn't that a bit too cautious?
Dickens sighed softly to himself.
Shash Sen is so afraid of death that he always brings a bunch of underlings when fighting the weak... The teacher's hope for a mutually destructive outcome is likely to fall through.
However, one thing is certain—given Shash Sen's current attitude, Van Helsing is unlikely to be a spy he planted in the Holy Sword Alliance.
Regardless of which faction Van Helsing belonged to, a conflict between the two was inevitable.
As for Van Helsing's strength... being able to kill Charles single-handedly, he certainly wasn't weak.
Perhaps this opportunity can be used to gather some intelligence on Shash Sen's combat capabilities, which will be helpful for future encirclement and killing operations.
"I hope you can hold on a little longer."
Dickens silently prayed for Van Helsing.
Is it inside?
Sash Sen glanced at the entrance to the north gate of Hill Park, then turned his head and glanced at Dickens.
Dickens nodded and said, "The psionic feedback is right here, the other side's location..."
He carefully sensed the terrain for a few seconds and then said, "It's about 300 meters ahead of the west gate of the park."
"Yes. You did a good job."
Shash Sen gave the order: "I will block all of the target's escape routes in a moment. You all need to react quickly and use all the restraints on him. This time, try to catch him alive. I will make him talk."
"Yes!"
The members of the enforcement team responded seriously.
With soundproofing devices in operation, they weren't afraid of making noise and being discovered by their target in the park.
"Keep leading the way."
Sash Sen gave Dickens a look.
The latter continued to lead, and the others followed suit.
Shash Sen still trusted his simple-minded son quite a bit—because he would regularly use precious Grade B truth serum to test whether the boy was alright.
Of course, he was unaware that Dickens periodically received memory interference from the Recaller, and the mental suggestions contained in the Truth Potion no longer had much effect on Dickens.
Shash Sen valued his life very much.
In their fear of death, he and Charles were equally matched.
He naturally considered the possibility that the members of the Holy Sword Alliance had suddenly come to win over his son—could this be a trap set for him?
However, he wasn't too worried about it.
His confidence stemmed from an A-grade item he had kept—"Alfonso's Temple".
