Let them offer their loyalty

"But isn't the research at a bottleneck?"

"There has been progress, but I just haven't had time to report it yet."

Hearing this, Jonas had roughly understood the girl's thoughts, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

He said that he didn't have time to report it, but the actual situation was that he was just angry with himself.

It was true that he hadn't even asked about the other party's situation for such a long time, and had simply treated the other party as a tool. If you put yourself in his shoes, even Jonas himself would feel angry.

With this in mind, Jonas placed his hand on the girl's head and touched it.

The latter seemed to be surprised that Jonas would suddenly do such a thing. His face turned red and he spoke in a tone that tried to resist:

"Please don't act so frivolously. It bothers me."

Although she said so, the girl didn't seem to be resisting at all.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period...Ms. Rui."

Jonas sighed and continued:

"I have been too busy recently and have not been able to find time to ask about your situation. This is my negligence."

——You’re kidding. You were talking to Eiffel this morning. What the hell, what the hell.

Rui Yi complained in his heart but didn't say it out loud.

"I know that Miss Ruiyi has been a little lackluster at work lately... I will take you to the base in Mika District later. There are better equipment and a more comfortable environment there, which can be regarded as making up for my neglect of Miss Ruiyi during this period."

——You still have some conscience.

Hearing this, Rui Yi's expression relaxed slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"but.."

Jonas changed the subject:

"We need to distinguish between merits and demerits... It is not a good sign if there is progress but it is not reported."

Rui Yi had a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and then he saw the man in front of him take out a white remote control.

"Are you ready to be punished, Miss Rui?"

Chapter 261: How to Make That Saintess of the Void Realm Sect Never Return

The white remote control is actually the controller for adjusting the collar function.

Although the girl was not wearing anything like jumping ■ or pressing ■ at this time, she could still feel the unspeakable pain (pleasure) under the electric shock stimulation of the collar.

That's why Jonas said it was a punishment.

Of course, the main purpose of punishment is to make the other party remember it.

So when the girl said in tears that she would never do it again, Jonas stopped what he was doing.

The girl collapsed on the ground somewhat powerlessly, looking at the man in front of her, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and resentment.

The other party's behavior reminded her of the endless torture Jonas had inflicted on her when she first came to the Alte Group.

Ree was sure that she didn't have any psychological problems like Stockholm syndrome, but when Jonas "punished" her, the physical pleasure she felt was greater than the pain.

In comparison, the mental torture of 'knowing that one is being humiliated but still unable to suppress the excitement' is more in line with the standard of 'punishment'.

Jonas didn't know what Miss Rui was thinking... But after seeing that she had finally given in, he put away the remote control in his hand and said:

"Next, I will let Miss Eiffel take you to the new research institute..."

"I hope Miss Rui will not make such a stupid mistake again in the future."

Hearing the man in front of her say such words in a slightly threatening tone, Rui Yi couldn't help but snort coldly.

In a sense, he was still in a state of "being coerced"... Although his impression of Jonas Wettin had changed because of some things, Rui Yi knew very well that the president of the Alt Group was essentially a complete scumbag.

——I am only compromising for Itra’s sake.

She thought so.

However, he did not realize that this idea came up due to his psychological imbalance.

.................................................. ...................

When we left the Alte Group, it was almost dusk.

The sun hanging high in the sky began to slowly set. After Jonas sent a message on the communicator, he came to his garage.

The elevator door opened, and Esni, who had received the call, was already waiting here.

After seeing Jonas, the girl's eyes flashed with joy, but she didn't show it too obviously. Instead, she asked:

"Where is Mr. Jonas going next?"

He walked in, the door of the black car opened automatically, and Jonas got in.

"Get in the car first."

After hearing this, Esni sat in the driver's seat and took on the duties of driver.

After seeing the girl sit down, Jonas said:

"Miss Esni, do you have anything to report?"

Hearing this, Esni paused for a moment, then said:

"According to what I learned recently in the slums, the Void Realm Cult may make a big move in a few days... It should be related to the Dawn Star."

Jonas nodded. He had already guessed that this might happen, and it was roughly consistent with the intelligence collected and summarized by the big data system. He just didn't know the other party's specific plan and itinerary, so he let Esni go to the slums to find out the situation with a try-and-see attitude.

Firstly, Esni's personal fighting power is high, so even if she is discovered, she can evacuate safely. Secondly, the girl is quite familiar with and understands the environment of the slums. After all, Esni grew up in such a place.

"Although the exact time is unclear, it is said that the Saint of the Void Realm will also participate in the operation this time... The Saint of the Void Realm is the psychic who blew up the entire no-man's land last time, and I don't know how she escaped in the end."

Seeing Jonas was silent for a moment, Esni took the initiative to report the information she had obtained.

"Oh?"

Originally, he just wanted to give it a try and asked Esni to go to the slums near the new base of the Void Realm Cult to take a look, but he didn't expect that the other party actually collected some information.

Jonas became interested and asked:

"What else?"

If the Saint Lady of the Void Realm Church would also participate in this incident, it would save Jonas a lot of trouble.

"There's also some news, but I'm not sure of its authenticity... The Dawn Star seems to have noticed that we are paying attention to them, so they deliberately spread some ambiguous rumors to confuse us."

Having said this, Esni hesitated for a moment and then continued:

"But in addition to the information about the Dawn Star, some of the actions of the Void Realm Cult are also very strange..."

"They are clearly planning to join forces with Dawn Star to deal with the Alt Group, but the work they are currently doing is actually building an altar... Because the noise they made during this period was too loud, it even alerted the peacekeeping forces."

——The altar...

Jonas stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that such behavior before the war is about to start is most likely to communicate with the virtual world and gain some kind of ability.

In fact, after the last attack by the Void Realm Cult on the Alte Group, the Alte Group found a facility similar to an altar at the base where the Void Realm Cult evacuated.

But what is strange is that although the members of the Alte Group did not commit any destructive acts, the altar itself showed signs of natural damage.

The specific time period when this phenomenon occurred was probably around the time when Miss Afanisi took action herself...It is not difficult to guess that the effect of the altar is temporary and one-time.

Jonas had never been able to understand how Afanisi disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone in the middle of the game, when there were no psychics with spatial abilities yet.

But now, combined with the clues given by Esni, Jonas had a vague guess.

That altar might be the key for Afanisi to gain the fourth level ability, or the ability to teleport.

Thinking of this, Jonas said:

"Well, Miss Esni's information is very useful...it's a great help."

Hearing this, the girl felt a little embarrassed, her ears turned red, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

She did not mention the dangers she encountered when collecting intelligence in the slums, nor did she mention her experience of squatting at the trading location where the Void Realm Sect cooperated with the gang for a whole day and night in order to obtain this intelligence.

Although these things were nothing to her, the girl had long been accustomed to the fatigue brought by work.

But when she heard Jonas' praise, the girl's fatigue seemed to be swept away.

For her, this compliment was enough to justify her hard work during this period of time.

"Where is Mr. Jonas going next?"

"Let's go to the Arbitration Bureau. It's time for me to ask my 'allies' for help."

.................................................. ...................

Now that it has been confirmed that the altar is most likely the prop that helps Afanisi to transfer, the main task now is undoubtedly to find a way to destroy the altar after it is completed.

The timing of this destruction is quite critical... After the altar is completed, the difficulty of destroying it will inevitably increase greatly. The Void Realm Sect is guarding the altar, and it is almost impossible to destroy it secretly.

But if the work is destroyed before the other party completes it, it will obviously bring about a new problem.

That would easily alert the enemy. Once the Void Realm Cult discovered that people from the Alte Group had intervened and even wanted to destroy their altar, they would easily understand that the other party had set their sights on them and was planning to wipe out the remnants of the Void Realm Cult.

Judging from the current behavior of the Xujing Sect, I think the first thing they would do after discovering it is to run quickly and then find a hiding place to hide.

I have to say that the Alte Consortium really left a shadow on the Void Realm Sect last time... one thing led to another, leaving the Void Realm Sect in a dilemma and having to passively take the beating. Finally, they made up their minds to attack and successfully defeated GG.

Under such circumstances, most people in the Void Realm Sect are still wary of the Alte Group.

This action itself is quite risky. Knowing that the Alte Foundation has set its sights on the Void Realm Sect, the Void Realm Sect will certainly not continue to take the risk of participating in the plan.

After all, the action of the Alte Consortium itself had some tendencies towards fishing. They knew that the Void Realm Sect had reached a cooperation with the Dawn Star but they were reluctant to take the initiative. It was obvious that there was a trap waiting for them to jump into.

If you want to fish, you have to endure.

The plan to destroy the altar is quite important, which is why Jonas found the Arbitration Bureau.

Due to the constraints of cooperation, Miss Carol would not tell anyone about this.

Moreover, from her own point of view, the Arbitration Bureau also hopes to eliminate the hidden danger of the Void Realm Sect as soon as possible.

After all, as mentioned before, the influence of the Void Realm Sect is not limited to District 25, it has even affected the Federation...With pressure from their superiors, the peacekeeping forces and the arbitration bureau cannot directly eliminate the hidden dangers of the Void Realm Sect in District 25.

And now, Jonas Weting was willing to help, and they were naturally happy to see it.

So the negotiations didn't take long, and Carol agreed to Jonas' request... There was no need to haggle over cooperation that was in the interests of both parties.

As the person in charge of the Arbitration Bureau, Carol is quite clear about this principle.

After the cooperation was reached, a very interesting thing happened on the way back.

Jonas and Esni were chatting in the car and accidentally brought up the topic of Celine.

Miss Esni had no idea what happened between the two and was quite resentful towards her sister.

It is a good thing to say that Celine's health is getting better and better, but it also brings her some troubles...Since Celine recovered from her illness, she often stays out all night.

This made her very worried that her sister might be deceived by some bastard. Every time she talked about this topic, Celine's attitude was quite evasive and dodging.

What's even more bizarre is that she has recently seen this child wearing her old clothes... This makes Esni a little worried that her sister may have developed a mental illness due to her previous treatment.

When she wanted to ask Jonas for confirmation, he could only change the subject in a far-fetched way.

After some rambling, such as saying that this was just a normal rebellious behavior during adolescence, Esni finally stopped worrying about the matter.

......................................................................

At the same time, the Void Realm

Afanisi looked at the specific request regarding the Dawn Star in front of her and her expression became a little strange.

At the side, the attendant who replaced Tan Yasi seemed to see that the Saint looked a little strange, and asked:

"Is there something wrong with the other party's request?"

Afanisi shook her head and said:
