To ensure safety, Mei Li decided not to make the round trip between Europe and the Arctic, but instead remained firmly in Europe to continue launching attacks on human cities. She was well aware that Qin Feng's intelligence far surpassed that of Costi—by several multiples—and that any minor oversight on her part could easily compromise the secrecy of their operations. Yet she had no idea that this very attempt to conceal the truth had already raised Qin Shao's suspicions. While sipping from his small teacup, Qin Feng read through the latest message from Wei Qingtian and remarked, "The Europeans are quite ruthless—having made the decision to go down together, severely weakening Costi and his team. However, such a strategy is understandable during wartime. Once the war ends and humanity returns to peace, will people begin to use it as grounds for complaint? Will anyone suffer consequences as a result? That remains to be seen." The practice of settling accounts after the harvest is not only common in China but also widespread among other nations. Qingya sighed and said, "That's simply one of your human ailments—people tend to act unpredictably, shifting from one course of action to another with ease. In the end, most of these actions end up harming others without benefiting themselves, "All you've done is increase your visibility among the people," Qin glanced at her. "How dare you claim that such things haven't happened in other worlds, or that the Celestial Realm hasn't had you guarantee them?" "Hmm," the beautiful Inspector remained silent. Honestly, this wasn't something unique to humans—such instances were common everywhere. Isa Bella waved her hand. "You've drifted off topic. Let's get back to the point. Costi sustained serious injuries during the nuclear explosion. As for the extent of the damage the magical race suffered, however, the information provided here doesn't clearly indicate that." Her argument was sound—since the report stated that the magical race had been severely hit, with at least half of their forces lost. All three of them found this surprising. After all, Costi had merely been a messenger. How could the leader, Meili, have entrusted half of her forces to him? Clearly, this was a form of self-praise, somewhat hollow—its real purpose was simply to conceal the use of the nuclear weapon and the unintended loss of civilian lives, thus making the situation appear more favorable. "Still, Costi's injuries are genuine," she added. "Otherwise, why would Meili have "Regarding retaliation against her, Qingya said, 'The directors are on their way. Even if we can't take her down, we can certainly wound her severely. Our counteroffensive opportunity has arrived.' Qin Feng felt the matter wouldn't be that simple. Though he had only faced Mei Li once, it was clear she was a formidable opponent. As for Lei Feng—he was a rigid, meticulous man, lacking adaptability. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risen to the position of Director of Inspection. The Inspection Office is akin to a court and procuratorate in human society. Leaders in such roles don't necessarily need high intelligence or diplomatic grace; straightforwardness is the only essential quality. What would happen when a straight-laced person faced off against a highly intelligent one? Yet Qin Feng couldn't dampen Qingya's enthusiasm. He only hoped Lei Feng would remain vigilant during his battle against Mei Li, otherwise he might find himself at a disadvantage. There were numerous thick files, but Qin Feng found interest in only one. As for the current domestic situation, he simply didn't care. He believed that even if he tried to pay attention, it would all be in vain—there were so many seasoned officials who truly understood the intricacies of governance. Will they listen to others once they've already established their own well-honed routines for managing the country? So, perhaps it's best just to keep out of sight. The communicator placed beside Qingya began to pulse; she smiled brightly, "Yes, Director. He must have brought reinforcements. We should go out and welcome them." Indeed, as the three of them stepped out of the small stele, they immediately spotted Lei Feng smiling warmly, accompanied by a group of about a dozen inspectors. "Director, you've come so quickly!" Qingya greeted him. "Hmm, this is quite significant—I naturally wanted to arrive promptly to minimize the damage to the human population," the elder said with a chuckle. His dedication truly impressed Qin Feng. After all, the Inspection Department only served the Chinese nationals; here in Europe, they could have simply chosen to remain indifferent. Yet, he had come with his team. "Qin Feng, you've worked hard," the elder said to the younger officer. Qin Feng smiled gently, "Director, thank you for coming. This is what I should have done. I'm confident that under your leadership, the demonic forces will surely be defeated." "You're too kind." "I'm just doing my little part to contribute to humanity," the elder remained as humble as ever. Taking advantage of the moment when the two were chatting, Isabella whispered, "Are these all your colleagues? How strong are they?" "All of them are above me—they're all seasoned veterans of the Inspection Division." Perhaps sensing that this remark might have implied a slight downgrade of his own status, Qingya quickly added, "I've only just joined the Inspection Division. Among the new recruits, I'm the strongest." The beautiful officer now felt confident. If their strength surpassed Qingya's, then it would mean that they could easily handle magical beings like Costi on their own—defeating flying cockroaches would be a mere breeze. Lei Feng, fully aware of his mission, exchanged a few words with Qin Feng before issuing his command: "Divide into four groups and launch attacks from four different directions against the magical forces. Remember—not to underestimate them. At first, focus on harassment rather than engaging in prolonged battles. Understand?" "Understood!" The several inspectors echoed in unison. The purpose of this strategy was twofold: first, to To ensure safety, the inspectors had no experience fighting against the magical races, so proceeding step by step was safer. They divided themselves into four groups and then departed. Lei Feng said to the three of them, "We'll form a group of four—our target is their leader. What was her name again?" Qingya replied, "Mili is a woman with a European appearance—very graceful and alluring. Her strength is certainly formidable." The elder raised his hand and said, "Gracefulness means nothing to me. In my eyes, there's only a distinction between civilians and offenders, or between friends and enemies. I won't show any compassion simply because the enemy is a man or a woman, beautiful or not." Hearing this, Isabella naturally turned her gaze toward Qin, the young lord. Qin blushed slightly, thinking, "My friends, I do enjoy being tender and protective—yet what can that do? In the end, it won't change the outcome. Besides, I'd really like to show such kindness toward Mili—would she even give me the chance? After all, being tender and protective has always been reserved for beautiful, delicate women. Mili has absolutely nothing to do with that." "Then let's go now," the elder said with full confidence. "When we encounter enemies, I'll handle Mirei, and you three will provide support, taking care of the foot soldiers." Qingya nodded. "Don't worry, Director."
