2546 All That Sadness

He grinned. His eyes were like the brightest star.

It was as difficult to go out as it was to come in. When Sparrowhawk saw Ye Jian saluting for the second time, his red eyes lowered slightly.

“Azure Bird, K7, to the new address.”

Ye Jian and K7 heard Xia Jinyuan’s order and left at their fastest speed.

!!

The auction was coming to an end. All the treasures were successfully traded tonight. The path to the bas.e.m.e.nt wasn’t as strict as before. It was much smoother to go out than to enter.

“A soldier disguised as a crew member is locked up in a metal cabinet. His legs are broken, and he was beaten up multiple times. There’s no way to save him…” Ye Jian leaned against the cold wall and reported the situation to her comrades.

It was silent on the other end of the earpiece. The heavy atmosphere could be felt even though they weren’t face to face.

“Come back, Azure Bird.” Xia Jinyuan’s cold voice was heard. “The auction will end soon.”

The heavy news pierced everyone’s hearts and made them look murderous.

K7 patted Ye Jian’s shoulder lightly. “Return to your positions.”

“Yes.” Ye Jian raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She raised her head and took a deep breath of the turbid air in the underground auction room as she walked toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng already knew that the four scientists were not here. He gradually clenched his fists on his knees. “I’ll tell Spat to keep the heavy weapons for us temporarily.”

“After we go out, we need to go to another place.” Xia Jinyuan’s gaze was fixed on the auction stage. “We’ll still use the heavy weapons. That’s why we need Spat’s help.”

Previously, Lin Feng didn’t know that the Xueyu unit had the latest address. However, when he heard this, he understood why they needed to go to another place. Hearing that, he nodded slightly and stood up to explain the situation to Spat.

The pirate leader, Spat, had a life-or-death relations.h.i.+p with Lin Feng. Lin Feng saved the lives of Spat’s family of 54 people, including Spat’s 14 wives and 27 children, as well as his parents and his father’s wives.

After Lin Feng saved them, he didn’t ask for anything in return. When he went out to sea, he sent Spat’s four children to study abroad. To Spat, Lin Feng was someone worth befriending.

Lin Feng had never asked him for help. Today, he knew that his friend was going to do something big, something that might implicate him. However, he chose to help Lin Feng without any hesitation.

He knew that the people he brought to the auction house were not simple. He didn’t notice that two of them had left. He only realized that one of the four people who came in with him was missing when he unintentionally glanced at them.

A group of people whose ident.i.ties and backgrounds he didn’t know was following behind him. If it wasn’t for Lin Feng, he wouldn’t have dared to bring them into the Andiken Auction House.

Before the last item ended, Spat and Lin Feng had already walked out of the auction hall.

Because Spat was present, everyone’s expressions remained calm as if nothing had happened. They hid their suppressed emotions well and silently recollected themselves.

In their line of work, they had seen too many comrades sacrificed. They could face the death of their enemies indifferently, but they could never face the sacrifice of their comrades with the same kind of ease.
