"Chairman! There was an incident! There was a terrorist attack at Copenhagen Avenue. Three shops were blown up and the number of casualties is still unknown. Right now, hundreds of tourists are held hostage by the terrorists. They are requesting for us to release the twelve who were arrested last week. They're even threatening to kill a hostage every minute we delay it!"
The more advanced a civilisation was, the stronger the sense of humanitarianism. In today's society, people generally share a similar attitude and that was, life was above everything else and that a person's life was even more valuable than a planet. If the life of a homeless man was threatened, the country wouldn't hesitate to send a large troop over to rescue him and would even consider destroying a planet in order to do so. Despite most people sharing this similar sentiment, there were however still those who like to go against the government.
These extremists are a small group of people who advocated power above everything. In the past few years, the group was fairly normal. Although there were occasional bloodsheds, it was because they had conflicts with other people's ideals but over the years, this group of extremists had grown more and more barbarous. In the past two years, they would start conflicts for no reason and eventually they became a terrorist organisation everyone feared.
Psychologists have tried to study the young leaders of this extremist group they had captured. They eventually found that they actually didn't care about people's lives and also didn't care about whether or not their ideas were accepted by others. None of them had been persecuted by the government or had a miserable childhood, they had just done it out of their desire to kill and conquer.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them society's cancer.
The biggest characteristic of an extremist was their aggressiveness and cold-bloodedness. As soon as they are locked onto a target, they would stick to them constantly like a ghost.
Leo was the chairman. When encountering such a thing, he should immediately return to the senate and turn on the remote control panel to get ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies at any time.
After frowning in thought as he listened to his secretary make his report, Leo walked out the room and quickly asked while walking, "I will return to the senate. Who is the garrison officer and police chief near Copenhagen Avenue? Have they gone over?"
"They have but…..Chairman."
Leo frowned. His secretary was perfect in every aspect but there was one thing that left Leo dissatisfied. Whenever something difficult came up, he would always become hesitant like this, completely unlike what an officer should be like.

"What is it?"
"Copenhagen Avenue is the most prosperous commercial district; we can't suppress the spread of the news. By now, most of the people on the main star must have heard about it."
"Mhn." Leo made a sound of acknowledgement. Without needing the secretary to say it, he had already expected this.
"Colonel Grenoch...also knows. He is currently leading people over and will soon arrive at the scene."
Of course, the Colonel Grenoch he was referring to wasn't Leo himself but that psycho brother Faria. Hearing his name, Leo's expression worsened. He only responded indifferently after getting into the hover car and setting it to autopilot with, "Oh, I see."
The secretary thought to himself: It was always like this. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Faria has been doing anything he could to climb up the social ladder and his efforts have reaped results. This could be seen by his rank being promoted to colonel. It was estimated that in another year or two, he would turn to politics.
Watching Faria climb up to his current position, perhaps he may even be a threat to Leo's position in the future. Leo however didn't care about these things. If he wanted to climb, let him climb. In any case, he was not moving.
It was unknown whether he really didn't care or if he was just too confident in himself.
"If there's nothing else, I will hang up first. I need to contact the officers on the front line."
The secretary considerately tried to persuade him. Although terrorists taking people hostage was a very terrible incident, if they looked at it from another perspective, it was an opportunity for them. The chairman right now didn't lack anything apart from having an opportunity to show up in high-profile and gain support from the public. Even if he didn't want this opportunity, he shouldn't hand it over to Faria.
But having been with Leo for so many years, the secretary knew Leo all too well. One he has made a decision, no one can change it. Sighing inside, the secretary fell into thought and suddenly remembered something he almost forgot.
"Oh right. According to the reports from the frontline soldiers, the bomb detonated by the terrorists only reached half its power and the remaining half was blocked by someone's spiritual power. From the looks of it, it seems to have been done by a guide. Not only us, the terrorists have also discovered this. Among the hostages they took, there is probably a guide. The frontline soldiers have been ordered to ensure that guide's safety."
A guide's spiritual power can not only make the guides themselves gentler and warmer, they can also be used to soothe out a sentinel's spiritual mind. Other than that, there was basically no other uses to it. Most guide's spiritual powers didn't have any offensive abilities and are usually primarily defensive. Only advanced guides would have some offensive abilities. The secretary had mentioned just now that the bomb had blown up three shops. If this was half its power, then at full power it would have blown up six shops.
Being able to protect the remaining half of the civilians with their own power whilst not exposing themself meant that the guide was very powerful. So powerful that they are probably comparable to that of a level one sentinel.
No, it was probably better to say that even a level one sentinel wasn't as good as this person because a sentinel can only destroy while this guide can protect everyone.
Thinking this, Leo straightened up, "Are there any on-site surveillance?"
The secretary was taken aback, "Yes there are but it was from before the incident. The current surveillance has been destroyed by them."
"Before the incident is fine. Send me a copy."
The secretary did not often hear Leo speak so seriously. A chill ran down his back. He quickly said yes and moved to send the recording from one second before the incident.
On-site surveillance could monitor every corner of the place but no matter how powerful it was, it didn't have an x-ray function. In the last moment captured by the camera, everyone acted strangely. Leo's eyes quickly swept through these people before finally locking onto a thin figure holding tightly to a child.
His soft, golden hair was stopped in the air as he held tightly onto the child in his arms. He himself had his head lowered, with his chin resting on the child's back.
It was a gesture of absolute protection, as if protecting his entire world.
Leo's blood almost flowed backwards. The black wolf next to him immediately stood up, his green eyes fixed on the screen. A threatening growl sounded from the depths of its throat.
In less than five minutes, the chairman had rushed over to Copenhagen Avenue.
The secretary who suddenly received this news chased after him the entire way. Inside he was still confused. Didn't he say that he was going to the senate? Why did he suddenly change his mind?
At the same time on the other end, the situation was at a deadlock.
Little Red had already been taken back into Chi Zhao's spiritual mind a long time ago. Anyone could see that this man in front of him was not a good person. He didn't want to end up fighting him here. Let alone whether he could beat him…..he didn't want to let his child learn the wrong thing!
System: "..."
You still have the time to care about this? Can't you see that this man already has his eyes on you?!
Of the people present, anyone with an IQ greater than a hermit crab should know that someone who can release such a large protective barrier must be a particularly powerful guide. Such a powerful guide must either be taken possession of or eliminated.
Guides whose spiritual bodies cannot be seen are all suspicious. In fact, Chi Zhao had disguised himself very well. Ever since he set foot on this planet, he had injected himself with an inhibiter. Others can only judge one's strength from their smell so although the man kept staring at him, he didn't dare make any moves because of this uncertainty.
Chi Zhao held Joey in his arms with his head lowered and his back trembling slightly to make himself look like he was too afraid to say anything.
The other party only felt irritated seeing this. He couldn't wait to shoot him dead right then and there, but his boss had warned him not to act rashly. Their task this time was to force the government to release their people and there was no time to worry about anything else.
Joey couldn't understand what was going on, but he knew instinctively that this man had no good intentions so even though he was sleepy, he still stared at that man with vigilance and made a gesture of also wanting to protect Chi Zhao.
"What is your name?"
Please read this from kk translates
Chi Zhao's body stiffened for a moment. He forced himself to calm down and replied timidly, "Noah Mayswen."
The man frowned. He checked online and quickly returned with a result. That face was the same as the face in front of him and it was clearly written there that he was a level two guide.
Only level two?! How can that be?!
This man was a level two sentinel. If the compatibility wasn't high enough, he would indeed be unable to see the spiritual body of a level two guide. He however still felt that something wasn't right. In their organisation, this man's forte wasn't his fighting ability but his almost infallible intuition. Right now, his instincts were telling him that the guide who had ruined their plans just now was the man in front of him.
But his information says that he was a level two guide. What was going on? He had never heard of a guide's level changing.
Before Leo came, the highest-ranked officer here was Faria. Now that Leo had arrived, the highest-ranked officer was naturally him. With the hostages locked inside, Leo couldn't see the situation so he could only negotiate with them from the outside.
As time passed by little by little, there were constant sounds of weeping next to him. Chi Zhao was anxious. He didn't know what to do. If he took action, he could be rescued but his identity would be exposed. How should he explain himself at that time? He had changed from a level two guide to…..he also didn't know what level he was at!
Hearing that the chairman had arrived, the man who had been staring intently at Chi Zhao finally left. Chi Zhao quietly looked up to take in the situation, but he found himself looking at a familiar looking black wolf. Its eyes were not fixed, and it seemed to be looking around for something before it finally locked onto Chi Zhao.
Chi Zhao was so startled, he almost couldn't maintain his expression. Was he recognised?! But his acting should've been flawless!
In a place where no one could see, the black wolf quickly ran over to Chi Zhao and sat down in front of him, carefully scrutinising him.
Chi Zhao had already looked away when it ran over, pretending not to see anything. He however had forgotten that besides himself, there was also another one with super strong spiritual powers. This little one had never seen such a big animal before and stared straight at it, wide-eyed.
A spiritual body shares their senses with their master. Everything the black wolf saw, Leo also saw. He was a little in shock and couldn't react to what he saw just now.
That golden-haired guide is Noah?
And the child in Noah's arms could actually see his spiritual body? Moreover, that child…..that child looked exactly like his mother?!
What was going on here?!
As Leo was in confusion, Chi Zhao inside was not in a better situation. After discovering that his son had at some unknown point in time become a pig teammate, Chi Zhao fell silent for a moment. He quickly made a distressed expression and lightly patting Joey's shoulder.
"Joey! How many times have I told you before not to stare in one place in daze? Dad brought you back here to see a doctor. Just wait a little longer. Just a little longer. Dad will definitely get your congenital mental deficit cured!"
Joey: "...…."
Congenital mental deficit, are you referring to me?
