Chapter 76: Revised

"FANG!"

Just as the Plasma Saber was about to pierce Throne Zwei, [Flag Bearer] suddenly withdrew his blade and retreated. The next second, the spot where he had just been was pierced by a red Beam Ray.

"Tch, so annoying!"

Forced back, Michael was furious. He felt humiliated, being suppressed while piloting a Gundam, almost defeated. He wanted to vent, to kill all the [Overflag] units in front of him, but Unit 1 and Unit 3 came to Unit 2's side, providing covering fire to prevent [Flag Snatcher] from approaching, while pulling Unit 2 back.

"Michael, we should retreat!"

"But, Big Brother..."

"The opponent is not simple, and the performance of their machines is not weak. We should retreat!"

"...I know!"

Michael was unwilling, but he had indeed been scared into a cold sweat just now. Plus, their operating time was almost up. No matter how angry he was, he had to retreat.

"Captain!"

"Don't pursue!" Graham watched the backs of the three Throne Gundams as they left, clenching his teeth in frustration. But after a long-distance rush back to base to provide support, they were already quite exhausted, and the operating time of their machines was almost at its limit. Moreover, the base was a mess, so they couldn't continue the pursuit.

"But..."

"Rescue the base first."

"Roger!" XN

Landing at the base, Graham immediately began searching for Professor Eifman and Billy Katagiri. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Billy Katagiri supporting Professor Eifman as they appeared.

"Professor, it's best that you are safe and sound."

"I received a warning and entered the shelter in advance, saving my life."

"It seems this attack was very strange."

"This is not the place to talk. Let's rescue the survivors first, and we'll discuss it after we've settled down."

"Okay."

Billy Katagiri helped Professor Eifman down to rest, and also secretly contacted Wang Liu Mei.

"Professor Eifman, I hope you are well."

"Do you know the situation?"

"Yes, a temporary safe house has been prepared for you. Someone will pick you up in an hour."

"Is it safe?"

"Please rest assured, the person picking you up is absolutely reliable. Old Wang will also meet you at the safe house."

"Could it be that over there too!"

"Not yet, but to ensure the safety of you and Old Wang, Myer believes we should take measures in advance. By the way, Professor Eifman, we will announce to the public that you and Old Wang are dead."

"Hmm... that's fine, that way Old Wang and I will be safer."

"Yes, I will be waiting for you and Old Wang at the safe house. Please be careful during this time."

"I understand."

Hanging up the communication, Billy Katagiri asked Professor Eifman, "Professor, are you and Old Wang preparing to fake your deaths and hide?"

"If we don't do this, they won't let me and Old Wang go."

"I understand, Professor."

"Apart from Graham, no one else can know about this. We can no longer tell who is a friend and who is an enemy around us."

"Understood."

...

On the Ptolemaios, Yang Hui and Sumeragi were anxiously awaiting news from Wang Liu Mei.

"Beep beep~"

"It's me, what's the situation?"

"Confirmed the safety of Professor Eifman and Billy Katagiri. Professor Eifman and Old Wang are transferring to temporary safe houses via different routes," Wang Liu Mei reported.

"Phew~ It's good that nothing happened." Yang Hui and Sumeragi simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Professor Eifman was their teacher, and also an Observer. Moreover, he and Old Wang were titans of scientific research, indispensable whether to completely pull them into the [Celestial Being] organization for research, or to develop technology for the unified army.

"Kinue Crossroad has found something. She found a retired soldier who survived the exercise. From him, she learned that Nena Trinity reported to Laguna Harvey. It can be confirmed that the [Trinity] team's superior is indeed Laguna Harvey. As for who is above Laguna Harvey, we haven't found out yet."

"I understand. Tell Kinue Crossroad to stop and withdraw. Don't investigate any further. I will descend to Earth in a while. I will meet with him. The Sakai Family in the Neo-Japan Special Zone, the Massot Family in France, the Estelle Foundation in the United States, let Kinue Crossroad investigate them, and make sure the security personnel are in place."

"Understood."

Ending the communication, Yang Hui rubbed his forehead. After relaxing, a sense of fatigue arose from his heart.

"Do you suspect these people are also traitors?" Sumeragi asked, sitting next to Yang Hui.

"Yes, these three families and foundations were involved in the loss of rare materials, but the amount is not large. Added together, it would be half of the Corner family's amount. Moreover, recently, asking them for materials and funds has also been met with obstacles, so I can't be sure if they have really betrayed us or are seeking personal gain."

"Then what should we do now? Especially the [Trinity] team, their actions are too much. They actually directly attacked a military base..."

"What do you think we should do?" Yang Hui didn't answer, but asked Sumeragi instead.

"We must stop them."

"Not yet. Anyone with eyes can see that the [Trinity] team's way of doing things is completely different from our previous actions. They will guess that this is the [Celestial Being] organization's revenge against the three major powers. The more this happens, the more pressure it will put on them, forcing them to unite deeply. So we need to continue to let them act." Yang Hui said after a little thought.

"But doesn't this also affect our reputation?" Sumeragi frowned slightly. The outside world doesn't know that the [Trinity] team and the [Celestial Being] forces are not the same group.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't hinder our ultimate goal. On the contrary, it's better to concentrate more hatred on us. Moreover, as long as we are hostile to them at the right time, the outside world's direction will become ambiguous."

"...I understand, but their actions have disrupted our original plan. We need to readjust it."

"Yes, just remain silent for now. Use VEDA to calculate how long it will take to reach the limit. Stop them before reaching the limit."

Next, the two conducted a meticulous calculation and analysis of the plan, including the results that VEDA fed back to them. Before the seventh operation, there was nothing to do, let them play.

...

On Earth, Alejandro Corner looked at the information in his hand with excitement.

"Finally got it! Ribbons, you are truly an angel sent to me by heaven. With this, the Corner family's two-hundred-year-old wish can finally be realized!"

"This is what I should do, Alejandro-sama," Ribbons said very flatteringly.

"Don't worry, Ribbons, when I take over the [Celestial Being] plan, you will be the greatest contributor."

"I am unworthy of such praise."

"Get ready, let's set off immediately."

"Yes, Alejandro-sama."

Following behind the excited Alejandro Corner, Ribbons couldn't help but sneer.

"The savior is about to appear. It's a pity it's not you, Alejandro-sama. Inferior species are not worthy of becoming the people who save the world."
