Let them offer their loyalty

"I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy lately and haven't come to see Miss Noelle. Please don't mind."

Jonas closed the door, sat down beside Noel's bed, reached out for an apple, and slowly peeled the skin with his psychic power until there was no skin left on the apple. Then he smiled with satisfaction and handed it to Noel.

"The commercials in District 25 seem to be much more interesting than those in the Federation, Ms. Noelle."

Chapter 472 The Curtain Rises

Apple, safe fruit.

I don't know where I heard this, but an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Noelle felt that even if a stranger handed her an apple, she would be able to eat it with a smile.

But not Jonas.

Not to mention accepting the peeled apple, Noel felt that he was the peeled apple. All his disguises had been peeled off by Jonas, leaving only the snow-white flesh in front of him.

Why did you choose to come here at this time...?

A trace of despair emerged in Noelle's heart. She never used coincidence as an excuse to comfort herself, but this time, she really hoped it was a coincidence.

"Don't you like to eat whole ones?"

Jonas didn't look at Noel who turned his head away. He used the spiritual power between his fingers to slowly peel the apple into pieces shaped like rabbits, which looked much better.

"Okay, now it's easier to eat."

Jonas used a toothpick to pick up a piece of apple shaped like a rabbit and put it to Noel's mouth. Seeing that Noel still refused to open his mouth, he simply ate it himself.

After swallowing the apple, he slowly said, "Eat a piece of the apple and you can ask me a question. How about that?"

"........"

Noelle remained silent, but his hands moved quickly. He picked up a piece of apple and ate it in small bites.

"first question."

Noelle looked at Jonas, with her hands hanging down in front of her belly: "How did you know?"

At this point, she no longer intends to use the excuse of coincidence to comfort herself.

Jonas chose this time to come here, he must have known about their plan!!!

But apart from the destabilizing factor of Gale, what else went wrong?

"The question is invalid. Ms. Noelle needs to ask more specific questions."

Jonas crossed his legs, a smile on his face: "No refund will be given for any questions. The right of interpretation is in the hands of Mr. Jonas. Go on."

Damn Jonas...!

Jonas had the initiative almost firmly in his hands, and this kind of question was like a cat-and-mouse game.

No, it's even worse than that!

She exhaled slowly. Knowing that the situation was completely controlled by Jonas, she could only endure such treatment: "Do you know what we are going to do?"

"Well, it's still not specific enough, but I can't bully the patient, so I'd better answer honestly."

Jonas tapped his fingers on the table. "I know exactly."

A trace of despair surged in Noelle's heart, but the expression on her face did not change at all.

She knew that this feeding action was Jonas's bad taste, but she had no way to resist.

"When did I start to be exposed? Was it the doctor who informed on me?"

Without waiting for Jonas to speak, Noelle consciously put two pieces of apple into his mouth.

Perhaps the girl did not realize that this behavior is very similar to that of an owner training his own puppy. At first, the puppy did not even want to come over, but now it actively eats the food. Perhaps it will not be long before it wags its tail to please its owner.

"Ms. Noelle is always looking out the window, and it's hard not to notice."

Jonas left the bed and looked out at the night view. "There are a lot of commercials in this area, which are flashy but very boring. Plus, I don't think Miss Noelle is someone who would stare at one place all the time because she longs for freedom, so I did some small research."

Just because of this?

Noelle had a ridiculous thought in her mind.

Just because I was looking at this area, Jonas asked someone to investigate?

"The Alte Group is wealthy and powerful, and we have made the necessary compensation. Please rest assured, Miss Noelle."

Jonas looked at the night scene, then turned to look at Noelle: "It wasn't so easy at the beginning. A lot of things happened in the past few days, but who can blame me for having a capable secretary?"

"In the chaos of intelligence, I saw at a glance that those shopping malls were attacked by hackers. No accounts or messages were left. They were just randomly attacking, as if they had another purpose."

He clapped his hands, as if to praise Noelle.

"Ms. Noelle is resourceful, but her subordinates are not like her. If they leave the account, although there will be certain risks, it can be disguised as an ordinary blackmail case."

Jonas paused slightly and looked at Noelle who had been silent. "As for the doctor, well, I think he would choose the latter if he had to draw a big picture or get the benefits within reach."

"But don't worry. I'm a very kind person. Your plan will be carried out perfectly as you imagined. I will even help you and let the doctor spread the real clues so that the federal reinforcements can successfully rescue you."

Hearing this, Noelle's expression, which had been as calm as water, finally changed.

When the enemy sees through your plan but still lets you carry it out, he most likely has a backup plan.

Moreover, this back-up move will surely break your spine, so that you will never be able to stand up straight again.

"Ms. Noelle, everything has a price. I hope you can understand the consequences of your momentary willfulness."

Jonas gently placed his palm on Noel's forehead. With a flash of light, a thought imprint was engraved on Noel's mind, but Noel just felt that there seemed to be something more in his mind.

"From now on, you can only watch your team of psykers clash with the Arbitration Bureau while rescuing you, and then watch them fall into a trap and be unable to escape."

Jonas pushed the wheelchair in the ward over and carried Noel to it like a gentleman: "Don't worry, I will take you to the parking lot soon. With the help of Dr. Gail, your help will arrive soon."

He slowly pushed Noel out of the ward. Noel wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't even open his mouth or utter a word.

Like a puppet, at the mercy of others.

She was completely desperate and could only watch Jonas push her into the elevator, which slowly descended until it reached the parking lot.

The wheelchair made noises in the huge parking lot. Jonas pushed Noel to the most conspicuous place in the parking lot, then got into his car, slowly lowered the seat, and looked at the motionless Noel through the car window.

His communication rang, and it was a message from Ennis.

"Mr. Jonas, Zero has infiltrated the Alte Foundation, and everything is ready here."

"Very good, all the actors are in place, and my audience has entered."

Jonas's smile widened as he heard an explosion from above the parking lot.

"Since the Federation wants Noelle so much, I will give her to them."

Chapter 473: Zero took the bait!

Ling stood alone in front of the Alte Consortium Building, his figure almost completely blending into the shadows. Looking at the bright and bustling night scene, he was mentally prepared.

The troops are divided into two groups, one as bait and the other to rescue Noelle. The bait must hold back all the psychics under the Alt Foundation, so the bait must have enough combat power. In the team rescuing Dorothy, Zero has the highest combat power, so he needs to be used as bait.

Her psychic power and physical strength have recovered. As long as she doesn't meet another fifth-level psychic, she can hold on for a while and escape safely even if she is besieged by a fourth-level psychic.

But what Zero has to face is the Alte Group, a monster that controls most of the wealth in District 25. Most of the high-end combat forces in District 25 should be gathered in the Alte Group.

This operation can be said to be a life-or-death situation.

But Ling didn't care. She just took the last sip of milk, threw the milk carton into the trash can, then tore open a bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips and started eating them seriously until she poured the last bit of the potato chip bag into her mouth. Then, she clapped her hands as if she was doing a farewell ceremony, and walked into the rain and fog.

Her silver hair was very conspicuous in the rain and fog, and her ice-blue eyes were always paying attention to the slightest movement around her, but surprisingly, she did not see any figure until she stepped onto the first floor of the Alte Foundation Building.

Zero's hand rested on the hilt of the knife, and he became alert.

Normally, even on a rainy night, the Alte Group's building should be bustling with activity. How could it be so quiet?

There was not a single guest, and the front desk staff had been replaced by robots.

While Ling was still wondering, she heard a very tiny cutting sound in her right ear. She immediately drew her sword and slashed in the direction of the sound. With a clang, she blocked a dagger that was attacking her.

"Tsk."

It was Nightingale, whose figure had completely retreated. Seeing that her sneak attack failed, she let out a sigh and quickly retreated.

This person's senses are quite sharp. Jonas said that she is one of the best level five psychics, and it seems that he was not lying.

"My mission has been completed, Esni, now it's your turn!"

Naturally, the assassin failed in his first strike and fled immediately. Facing the enemy head-on was almost not an option for her.

But how could Zero let Nightingale escape so easily?

His senses sensed the direction of the surrounding air flow almost instantly, and Zero's sword slashed in the direction of Nightingale's retreat, at a speed so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye.

But at this moment, a plasma cutting sword controlled by telekinesis flew over at an extremely fast speed and blocked Zero's slash at Nightingale.

“…So annoying.”

Ling's voice was small. She usually didn't have much emotion and was known for her nonchalance, but at this moment her tone of voice actually contained a hint of complaint.

Telekinetics are the easiest type of psychic to deal with. As long as you get close to them, they can be dealt with in an instant, but the prerequisite is that you must be close.

The most annoying thing is this kind of thing. You will be interrupted by a plasma sword that suddenly flies over at the moment you succeed. Moreover, these telekinetic psykers will annoy you from time to time like rats if you don't catch them.

Zero kept an eye on his surroundings to see if anyone else would suddenly jump out.

A close-range assassin and a harasser who uses telekinesis, they lack an effective means of attack.

Moreover, logically speaking, since he had caused such a big commotion, everyone in the Alte Group should have noticed it. Why were there only these two people in front of him?

What about the remaining psychics?

Zero couldn't figure it out. Dorothy once told her that if she couldn't figure it out, she shouldn't think about it, so she tried to empty her mind as much as possible and focus on the more important things in front of her.

The assassin should have left here or is hiding somewhere, and the psychic with telekinesis should be looking for an opportunity to achieve a surprise victory.

What they lack is probably a main attacker.

Zero looks a little silly, but his IQ in combat is top-notch. After just one encounter, he concluded that the opponent should be missing a main attacker, and thus became more vigilant.

Just when she had just thought that there should be another main attacker, a girl holding a plasma thermal sword appeared at the corner in the distance. Looking closely at her eyes, it seemed that she was still communicating with someone.

Seeing Ling looking over, she hung up the phone and assumed a standard fighting stance.

The Dark Lord Esni is the head of the security department of the Alt Foundation.

As soon as Ethni appeared, Zero remembered the information Dorothy had once given her.

An assassin who could launch a sneak attack at any time, a psychic who could control objects with telekinesis. Compared with them, Esni seemed to be much better. She didn't use those tricks and only used the most basic sword to decide the outcome.

At the moment the communication was disconnected, Esni gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and launched a torrential attack towards Zero, the speed was so fast that Nightingale, who was watching the fight at the side, was dazzled.

Zero's reaction speed was also extremely fast. Almost at the moment when Esni made her move, the two weapons collided.

Nightingale, who was standing by, naturally could not intervene in the fight between the two men and could only take advantage of every opportunity to attack Zero who was fighting with Esni.

But Celine, who was hiding in the dark, didn't care about all this. Once the two sides were a little apart, the plasma swords and bombs she controlled would rush forward and cause all kinds of harassment to Zero, forcing Zero to expend more energy to guard against them.

You could call it a righteous three-on-one.

The originally evenly matched situation was tilting towards Esni due to the harassment of the two.

But this is exactly what Zero wants.

A war of attrition means stalling for time, and stalling for time is exactly what Zero wants.

As long as they don't lose too quickly, they can buy as much time as possible for the psychic team so that they can evacuate with Noel.

It's not a fight to the death, so you don't need to fight with all your strength, but the noise you make must be loud enough to attract enough attention.

But slowly, Zero realized something was wrong.

No matter how loud the explosions were, no matter how loud the noise of their fight was, no one came down to check.

The confusion was almost evident on her face.

It was as if the enemy suddenly knew her plan. She turned herself into bait, originally intending to attract all the psychics of the Aldo Group and sacrifice herself to rescue Noel, but now, things seemed to have changed.

A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in Zero's heart.
