Hearing this, the subordinate spoke cautiously, "Mr. Envoy, Demon, the Sovereign of the Ghost Alliance, has completely vanished for four whole years."
"Everyone in the underground world is saying that Demon might already be..."
He paused right there.
Sensing the suffocating glare from the Envoy, the subordinate quickly changed his tune, his tone becoming even more reverent and fanatical. "Besides, you are now a high-level mutant who has undergone neural modifications."
"Whether in physical combat or intellect, you have already vastly surpassed the limits of ordinary humans."
"Even if that Demon were to show up alive now, she absolutely wouldn't be a match for you. She would only end up being completely crushed by you."
These words greatly pleased Special Envoy Mordecai.
An incredibly eerie, low chuckle rumbled from his throat. "I truly do hope... there will be a chance to run into her again."
At that moment, another subordinate knocked on the door of the main control room and bowed to report. "Mr. Envoy, the auction is ready, and all the globally invited guests have arrived."
"We are just waiting for you to personally host it."
Special Envoy Mordecai slowly stood up, casually adjusted his black cloak, and prepared to head to the auction hall.
Just as he reached the door.
"Beep—Beep—Beep—"
Every screen in the control room started flashing blinding red lights frantically.
An ear-piercing siren suddenly blared.
The technicians at the control consoles turned pale and hurriedly reported, "Mr. Envoy, we've traced a faint signal. Someone is attempting to infiltrate the island!"
Mordecai stopped in his tracks.
He looked at the flashing red warnings on the screens. Not a trace of panic showed on his face; instead, a cruel sense of amusement surfaced.
"Interesting."
He turned his head to look at his subordinate. "Activate the maximum defense system."
The subordinate was taken aback and hesitated. "Mr. Envoy, should we suspend the auction?"
"The auction proceeds as usual," Mordecai replied dismissively.
He paused, his eyes turning vicious. "Deploy the Obsidian Alpha Squad."
"To be able to track this place down, they clearly have some skills."
