The power that could temporarily halt thought spread towards Fan Xiao and Yin.

At the same time, the three of them activated a clearing-out device, interfering with the store's staff and customers, who all ran towards the outside.

Svina's B-rank talent is activated—she can transform fiery desires, jealousy, rage, and other illusory flames into real flames, creating terrifyingly high temperatures.

Conversely, it can transform physical fire into a kind of illusory fire, causing the hostile target to burn in a frenzy of emotion, achieving a dual attack—emotional collapse and spiritual burning.

Suddenly, a sea of ​​fire appeared out of nowhere around them.

This is a real fire she created using props.

With their talents activated, the sea of ​​fire began to shake. This massive amount of real fire would soon transform into Fan Xiao and Yin's illusory fire, collapsing their emotions and burning their spirits.

The dog-eared youth then transformed into a giant husky, its head almost touching the ceiling.

In this form, he could clearly smell the spiritual aura of Fan Xiao and Yin, and clearly hear the illusory noises emanating from their spirits—everything was vibrating, and spirits were no exception.

"Ow—!"

The husky howled.

Under the influence of the B-grade item, the roar was transformed into a resonant sound of the corresponding frequency.

Once affected, the target's spirit will be shattered and disintegrated.

Two powerful attacks, which had been brewing for some time, struck almost simultaneously.

The next moment.

Both Sivina and the dog-eared youth who launched the attack widened their eyes.

gone!

Both of the targets have disappeared!

How is that possible... Wasn't the space sealed off?!

"If you can see through the past, you can easily predict the future. This monocle really helped you carry out a perfect sneak attack."

A slightly magnetic voice rang out behind the five people: "Unfortunately, it's a rip-off."

Sivina and the dog-eared youth turned around immediately—Fan Xiao and Yin were standing five meters away.

At the same time, a large amount of gold appeared out of thin air—the A-level item "Golden Garden" started operating, turning all the virtual fire attacks and sonic attacks that spread throughout the entire cafe and were directed at them into gold.

Fan Xiao and Yin were not affected in the slightest.

"You guys came without any help, tsk tsk... Looks like you were betrayed by your own boss."

Fan Xiao thought of Ao Cong.

Why did Your Majesty rebel...? This guy is a real jerk!

"I advise you to surrender!" Sivina frowned. "Our BOSS is an A-level player, and he's watching this place right now. You can't escape! Cooperate obediently, and you'll suffer less, otherwise..."

"You mean Ao Cong?" Fan Xiao chuckled. "I think, given his personality, he's probably pretending to be deaf and mute right now."

"Nonsense!" Sivina gave the attack order to her teammates: "Move..."

"Jealousy, 64th Company."

Fan Xiao grinned, interrupting her.

The next second, Sivina and her group of five were horrified to discover that they could no longer use their talents and items.

Space blockade, mental suppression, mental stagnation, emotional collapse, mental burning, sound wave shattering... all the attacks vanished as if they had never existed.

In an instant, Sivina and her four companions lost all ability to resist.

Only the monocle that Svetlana was wearing was still functioning.

However, the footage provided was filled with a lot of pixelation, even obstructing part of her view.

The next second, the "Land of Delusion" descended.

Fan Xiao dominated the minds of everyone in the café except for Yin.

Mental suggestion, memory interference... Sivina's eyes became dazed, and she took off the "Truth Overcomes All" prop, removed the monocle from her right eye socket, and handed it to Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao's player panel popped up.

I've got my third A-grade item.

Chapter 620 Queen Charlotte

7:30 p.m.

After receiving Svena's message, O stopped pretending to be deaf and mute and rushed to the café where the battle had taken place.

Svina and her four companions had revealed their white shoulder insignia, sealed off the scene, and dispersed the onlookers.

Of course, now that the news has already spread, it's impossible to keep it a secret.

Perhaps at this very moment, many players from various factions are using remote observation tools to watch the situation here.

Sivina and the others dared not be negligent, and all tensed up and became more vigilant.

At the same time, they were filled with fear—the fear of losing the A-grade item.

How will the BOSS punish them?

"Bastard thing!"

Ao looked at the five people with a gloomy expression, his eyes filled with a terrifying sense of oppression.

The atmosphere he exudes... seems as if flames of anger are about to burst forth from his body.

"Boss, this... is my fault!"

Sivina immediately knelt on one knee, adopting an extremely humble posture, and dared not look at Ao Cong's face.

She lowered her head and said, "The players from Star Memory City stole the items! This was a premeditated act!"

Ao Cong: "..."

What the hell? How did it become Xingyi City stealing it...? Was this some kind of memory interference by that mysterious Mr. Fan?

Looks like he made the right bet!

The reason he dared to openly betray Sivina and the others when he contacted them was because he guessed that the mysterious Mr. Fan would take the initiative to fill in the logical loopholes.

Ao then tentatively asked, "What did I say when I contacted you before?"

"You told us to keep the investigation a secret and not let anything slip." Sivina quickly replied, "Boss, I can guarantee that we haven't had any contact with anyone else throughout the entire process."

So this is the modified memory...? Ao said coldly, "This was a covert operation. I even helped you cover it up. The intelligence couldn't have been exposed so quickly... A bunch of idiots! How could this be done by people from Star Memory City?"

“We’re also suspicious of that,” Svetlana quickly added, “but we can’t guess who’s impersonating us yet.”

"Hmph, since the intelligence won't be exposed so quickly, and we can rule out the possibility of interception midway, this is a pre-arranged trap... Princess Melissa... Damn it!"

Ao suddenly teleported into the sky and roared a threat—threatening the person who stole the item to return it to the white epaulette within a day, or he would use every means to personally investigate the matter and make the other party live in constant fear for the rest of their days.

With the aid of the props, Ao Cong's voice spread unimpeded in the high sky, reaching almost half of Roman City.

Presumably, this matter will spread throughout the entire 001 section within half an hour.

This is actually a rather irrational act, which will expose the white epaulettes and his own incompetence.

Of course, no one knew that this was exactly what Ao Cong was aiming for—he wanted to appear as furious as possible and act as realistically as possible.

After making the threat, Ao teleported back to the ground, his gaze coldly fixed on Svina and the other four: "You five, now, immediately, get back to your places and notify the people with white shoulder patches to conduct a city-wide manhunt for the player who stole the item. As for your punishment... Hmph, I'll decide after I find the real culprit."

At this point, he let out a cold, emotionless laugh: "Some guys have crossed the line!"

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

……

The royal family's headquarters, West City, is considered the oldest megacity in Zone 001.

The most distinguished person in the entire 001 district—the current Queen Charlotte Celeste—resides here.

He resides in the Weston Palace.

With the progress of the times, the royal family no longer has the mystique of sitting high above the clouds in the eyes of ordinary people.

The Royal Palace of Sirion is not a closed place; it has been open to the public for many years.

Although Charlotte, as Queen, is of an unapproachable status, she is not far removed from the people – she frequently attends various events and always maintains her public profile.

If we disregard the background of power, Charlotte is like an idol beloved by the people.

In addition, the women of the Xilun family have always been petite... and quite a few people idolize and worship her.

Nine in the morning.

Charlotte summoned her eldest daughter, Melissa, who was causing her some trouble, to the palace and questioned her.

In appearance, she is very similar to her eldest daughter, the difference being in hair color and temperament—her hair color is a bright and eye-catching gold, with a strong atmosphere like dazzling sunlight, her cold eyes are very imposing, and her petite body does not lack the majesty of a queen.

Charlotte's face doesn't look like someone nearing forty at all; instead, she looks like a young girl—of course, she does look more mature and womanly than Melissa... She's both cute and mature, giving people a strange feeling that's quite contradictory and contrasting, subtly arousing men's desire to conquer and a slightly immoral thrill.

To be honest, it's pretty lewd... Yeah, only someone with a sensitive heart would think that way.

Melissa has light blonde hair and a youthful face with a hint of innocence.

They stood together, looking like sisters.

"Mom, is something the matter?"

Only the head maid was present in the palace. Melissa's tone was somewhat casual, and she didn't pay much attention to royal etiquette, addressing the Queen Mother as an outdated title. She wasn't into that kind of retro stuff, so it was a bit awkward.

"You went out without permission to seek revenge?"

Charlotte lowered her eyes and asked a question.

“Mom, I’m already a B-level player, and I have two bodyguards of the same level with me. I can protect myself.” Melissa said in a nonchalant tone, “I’m responsible for my own safety. Rather than pursuing my matter, I think… Mom, you should worry more about Nori. She hasn’t been back for several months.”

“You don’t need to worry about Nori. Now, let’s talk about your business.”

Charlotte's voice had a naturally cold quality, just like her eyes, which exuded an imposing aura even without anger: "You shouldn't have acted without my permission. Safety is one thing, but on the other hand... don't forget who you are, Melissa."

"As one of the queen candidates, your every move will be magnified, which can easily lead to more stains on your record."

"Besides... your unauthorized actions will attract unnecessary attention from other forces."

"Let them pay attention, just because I don't take any action doesn't mean they'll stop paying attention."

Melissa said casually, "Besides, Mom, you're an A-level player, you have a long lifespan. Since the Evolution Game came along, the Queen Candidate has become a joke, it's just a formality. After all..."

She smiled faintly and said, "By the time I live to see you retire, Mom, who knows how many years it will be? I might even be an old lady by then. What's the point then?"

"so rude!"

Charlotte frowned slightly, her imposing aura growing even stronger.

If ordinary people were present, they would probably feel a sense of oppression and suffocation.

Yes, she is an A-level player.

Active A-level player.

After the Evolution Game arrived, all the major factions in Division 001 recognized the importance of players and began to spare no effort in cultivating them, including the royal family.

The royal family, with its vast resources, wants to cultivate an A-level player... While it's not exactly easy, it's not ridiculously difficult either.

Under normal circumstances, players exist as combat units. Even if they hold a position, it is only a leisurely one where they do not have to do anything. For example, the position of Queen is filled by ordinary people on a rotating basis.

Charlotte chose to become queen.

As an A-level player, she wields absolute authority within the Xilun family.

Although there are other A-level players in the Xilun family besides her, the queen's position is not a treasure. If she wants it, naturally no one will compete with her for it.

Meanwhile, the royal family of Westren controls a portion of the "player retirement quotas".

As queen, she naturally had the power to allocate a portion of her resources at will, but she was very confident in her abilities and did not choose to retire and enjoy life at that age.

To date, she is still an active A-level player.

Charlotte gave Melissa a slight reprimand, then her expression turned slightly serious as she addressed the core purpose of the conversation: "Did you encounter a very formidable B-rank player on your recent trip?"

"Have Elise and the others already reported this?" Melissa asked in return.

“Their perspective is not as good as yours,” Charlotte nodded slightly. “From your point of view, there are definitely some discrepancies between your objective and subjective intelligence and theirs. Tell me more about your perspective.”
