Chapter 80

Chapter 79: An Unchangeable Tragedy

After the return of Gundam Rasiel, immediate repairs were underway. Yang Hui was relieved that he hadn't recklessly piloted Gundam Rasiel down to Earth without bringing anything along, otherwise, the destroyed Shield-type GN Bits would not have been replenished.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is the situation?" Wang Liu Mei handed Yang Hui a towel and asked.

"I need to take control of Laguna Harvey immediately. I'm meeting him tomorrow, so you should be ready to take over his company," Yang Hui said seriously.

"Is it that urgent?" Wang Liu Mei frowned. Although plans had been made, she hadn't anticipated the urgency, and some arrangements were still not in place. Even though it was just a freight company, it provided ladder transportation, and its scale, connections, and business volume were significant—definitely a juicy piece of meat.

"The Trinity siblings have already lost control; we must stop them immediately."

"I understand. I'll arrange it right away..." Wang Liu Mei was about to contact the agents placed around Laguna Harvey to take over the freight company, but she received a communication from Hong Long first.

"It's me."

"Miss, there's been an incident. The Trinity team attacked civilian facilities!"

"What did you say?" Wang Liu Mei was horrified, looking at Yang Hui.

"Location?" Yang Hui took the call, asking. He had clearly stopped them before; even with the current state of the Throne Angels (three units), they shouldn't be able to attack other locations. The second unit was half-destroyed, the third unit was out of energy, and only the first unit had combat capability. Were they really not afraid of being wiped out?

"In Poland, at a private estate of the Colt Consortium. According to intelligence, the chairman of the consortium is hosting a birthday party at the estate, inviting many political and business figures..."

"Immediately send the information to VEDA for analysis. Are they attacking on purpose or just passing by? Send someone to check if the Colt Consortium has been facilitating the war?"

"Understood."

After ending the call, Yang Hui's expression turned grim. He had thought he had prevented a disaster that shouldn't have happened, but who knew that saving once wouldn't save a second time? The tragedy still occurred. Was it truly unavoidable?

"Yang Hui..."

"You go ahead and make arrangements. I'm fine. The incident happened suddenly; the Colt Consortium might not be able to take advantage of it, but if we can get a piece of the pie, we should."

"Okay, I'll handle it right away."

Wang Liu Mei left with a serious expression. The Wang family was powerful, but there were many hungry wolves lurking around. To gain sufficient benefits, Wang Liu Mei had to give it her all.

After Wang Liu Mei left, Yang Hui draped the towel over his face and slumped back in his chair.

"Beep beep~ beep beep~"

Yang Hui removed the towel from his face and took out his PAD to connect.

"It's me."

"Yang Hui, you must have heard about the actions of the Trinity team," Sumeragi said with a serious expression.

"Yes, I know. I had already stopped them once before."

"We can't let them run rampant any longer. This not only concerns the reputation of Celestial Being; if we ignore it, more innocent lives will be lost."

"Yes, I've already instructed Liu Mei to make arrangements. I'll deal with Laguna Harvey tomorrow. How many Gundams have been repaired?"

"Gundam Exia, Gundam Dynames, Gundam Cherudim, and Gundam Virtue have all been completed. Gundam Kyrios is also in the final debugging stage. Setsuna and the Dylandy Brothers' tests have been completed, and additional armaments are ready."

"Have Setsuna and the Dylandy Brothers come to Earth. I've already announced in front of civilians that the Trinity team does not belong to Celestial Being. I believe this news will spread quickly, so our reputation won't suffer too much damage, but their actions must be stopped. Have Setsuna and the Dylandy Brothers intercept them."

"But our plan..." Sumeragi was worried that if they eliminated the Trinity team prematurely, the buffer between them and the three major nations would be lost. Moreover, regardless of what Yang Hui announced, Gundam eliminating Gundam, especially after a malicious incident involving civilian attacks, most people would still see it as a way to eliminate a stain.

"Then we'll fight while letting them go. Tell Setsuna and the Dylandy Brothers to focus on stopping them, not to eliminate them."

"But they..." Sumeragi hesitated. Such an order would likely not be accepted by anyone, especially since the five Gundam Meisters were all furious after learning about the attack on civilians.

"Tell them to listen to me this time; I will explain to them later," Yang Hui said, thinking that it was about time everyone knew the full scope of Celestial Being's plans.

"Okay, I understand."

...

In an unknown valley in Europe, the secret base of the Trinity team was located here. They left the damaged units to Haro for repairs and the three siblings enjoyed a rare moment of rest.

"Hahaha, Johann, this is so satisfying! Hahaha..." Nena laughed heartily.

"Exactly! That Myer, isn't he so impressive? Come and stop us! Does he really think he's a savior?!" Michael boasted arrogantly.

"Alright, go take a good rest. You never know when a mission might come up," Johann said. Unlike his younger siblings, although he had attacked civilian facilities for a moment of thrill, he regretted it afterward.

Because of Nena's actions, Yang Hui had directly expelled them from Celestial Being (in their own view). Now that he had done the same thing, would it make the situation worse?

"I hope Laguna can handle it," Johann could only pray. If Laguna Harvey couldn't resolve it, then their existence would be completely negated.

What Johann didn't know was that the Laguna Harvey he had high hopes for was now in dire straits.

As usual, after work, he returned home, only to have a hood thrown over his head as soon as he entered, losing consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself in an unknown secret room, bound hand and foot, surrounded by heavily armed men with masks.

"Who are you? Do you know who I am..."

These men would not show any mercy to Laguna Harvey. They responded directly with their fists, and with one punch, several of his teeth flew out. They didn't care about Laguna Harvey's identity; they only needed to follow orders.

"Ugh~" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Laguna Harvey looked at them in terror and asked, "What do you want? I can give you anything I have."

"Shut up."

"Please let me go; I can give you a lot of money..."

"Shut up!" The one who had just punched him intensified his tone and kicked Laguna Harvey in the stomach, the force sending him sliding across the floor until he crashed into the wall.

This only made Laguna Harvey more terrified. The intense pain left him speechless, curling up his body to ease the suffering.

At that moment, the door to the secret room was opened. Due to the light, Laguna Harvey couldn't see the face of the newcomer, but he knew that the person who would decide his fate had arrived.
