Meanwhile, several people, including Scout, arrived on the bridge with roasted meat and juice.
Seeing ACE hanging in mid-air, they were all very happy, especially Scout, who laughed so hard he lay on the ground, slapping the floor.
ACE above was even more depressed. He had always been careful in his actions, leaving no handles, so how did Kal'tsit end up targeting him?
Logos and Sharp, the two young men, were also unkind, actually ambushing an old man like him from behind. By the time he reacted, Logos had already cheerfully hung him here.
ACE completely didn't understand how Doctor Warfarin, who was also hanging nearby, still had the mind to swing back and forth like a child on a swing.
When the gate below opened, he instinctively felt a sense of unease, and sure enough, Scout, that heartless fellow, joined in with the others' jeering.
And he was sitting below with roasted meat. What? Would eating roasted meat while looking at a 'dried old cured meat' taste better?
As the ACE, he wouldn't argue. He would just remember everyone, especially the members of his own squad. After he got down, he would let them know what true cruelty was... Meanwhile, Amiya returned to the Control Room after bidding farewell to the others.
Seeing Amiya enter, Kal'tsit was a bit surprised. Given Kanna's personality and Amiya's hard work during this period, she had already prepared to give Amiya the afternoon off to rest well, but Amiya returned here after eating.
"Why are you back so early? Aren't you going to play with Kanna a bit longer?" Kal'tsit was very pleased as she watched Amiya walk to the side and start working.
Amiya shook her head, "Kanna said she wanted to rest after dinner and went back. Rosmontis and Popukar are going to the Medical Department for a check-up, and my team members have all gone to the training room. I thought that instead of idly staring outside, it would be better to come back and do a little more work..."
Kal'tsit frowned. The little dragon girl was full of energy and radiant before returning. How could she be tired in such a short time?
She casually opened Ptilopsis, brought up Kanna's surveillance, and then asked, "What did you say in the cafeteria?"
Amiya immediately replied to Kal'tsit's question, "Bad Tom mentioned that Doctor Kal'tsit, you sent people to hang ACE on the bridge. ACE has taught me a lot during this time and has always been Rhodes Island's most trusted protector. Doctor Kal'tsit, can you please not punish him?"
Although being hung on the bridge wasn't considered a punishment among the Elite Operators, the kind Amiya still didn't want the good old uncle ACE to suffer.
Kal'tsit's mouth twitched after hearing that. She had already guessed why Kanna was hiding in her dormitory. The surveillance shifted to Kanna's door, and sure enough, there were eight big characters on the door: "Closed-door cultivation, do not disturb."
If the little dragon girl hadn't hidden, she wouldn't have recalled all the trouble she had caused on the journey. Once she hid, all those memories that made her feel like she was having a brain hemorrhage resurfaced.
Kal'tsit looked at the tightly closed door and snorted coldly in her heart.
You think hiding in the room and not coming out will work? And closed-door cultivation... I don't believe you can hold out for long in that less than five-square-meter room.
As a cunning schemer, luring out a naive young one like Kanna was, in her opinion, simply effortless.
And when she turned the camera to the deck, Kal'tsit instantly couldn't maintain her composure.
She hadn't expected Scout, who usually seemed calm and steady, to do such a thing: gathering people to party below ACE, who was hanging, and several members of ACE's team were even among them.
Pinching her brow, Kal'tsit took several minutes to calm down, then picked up the intercom. "Logos, go. Scout seems quite envious of ACE hanging there, so send him up too."
Just then, one person in the crowd below nodded, knocked Scout down when he was completely unprepared, then skillfully pulled out a rope and hung him next to ACE.
The surrounding people were briefly stunned when Scout was attacked, but when they saw who had made the move, the jeering grew louder. ACE, who was hanging, watched Logos's actions, and his somewhat numb body suddenly felt a bit more spirited.
Looking at Scout hanging next to him, ACE chuckled. "Didn't expect that, did you! You little brat, you wanted to mock me!"
When Scout regained consciousness, he was met with ACE's scruffy big face.
Feeling the familiar surroundings, Scout cursed inwardly, "Damn it, how did I get sent up too? It must be some old geezer who saw what was happening up there."
At this moment, Kal'tsit in the Control Room covered her face, not wanting to see anything outside. She hadn't expected Logos to also be among the crowd, and in front of everyone in the Control Room, he very skillfully sneaked behind Scout and ambushed him. Judging by the swiftness of his movements, the number of people he had ambushed like this must have been at least eighty, if not a hundred.
Although the Elite Operators in her team seemed so unreliable, it was precisely because of this that Kal'tsit felt relieved.
It seemed that everyone's stress during this period wasn't heavy, and the atmosphere within Rhodes Island was quite good; otherwise, they wouldn't be in the mood to play around like this.
Ignoring the farce above, Kal'tsit began to check the Operators' travel status during this period.
Seeing Rosmontis's record, she frowned again and called Amiya to inquire about the situation in Kelvin County.
Amiya lowered her head after hearing Kal'tsit's question.
"Not long ago, people from Kelvin County came, saying there was a group of Infected hoping Rhodes Island could take them in. At that time, most of Rhodes Island's Elite Operators were not present, so I had Touch lead a team, taking Rosmontis and a squad of Operators to receive those Infected. But we later found out it was a trap, set by that Grand Duke of Victoria because she failed to capture Kanna on Rhodes Island.
According to Touch, after an Operator sacrificed himself to protect Rosmontis, she briefly lost control. In less than ten minutes, she annihilated an entire organized border defense regiment outside Kelvin County before falling into a coma. Touch could only evacuate her and the remaining Operators from there, rushing back to Rhodes Island.
Later, Doctor Warfarin, Doctor Silence, and Doctor Shining spent two full days to save Rosmontis."
At this point, the little bunny shed sad tears.
Kal'tsit was silent for a moment, then said, "From today onwards, suspend contact with Victoria. I will send people to Victoria to investigate and try to find a way to resolve our conflict."
