Pillar of Yita

”Strange,” he thought, ”why does this guy not seem like a Combat Artisan...”

Can someone who is not a Combat Artisan control Dual Control?

Luo Hao felt that he refused to answer this question.

Because it was too young, too naive, simply impossible.

...

The view returned to the conference area in the Stargate Port—

On the large screen above the conference area, the same video was being played repeatedly—the boy rolling to dodge the first arrow from the Night Hawk, making a precise judgment and resolute action. Then raising his hand, he used the Clockwork Fairy to block that deadly arrow.

Then he calmly dragged the injured warrior behind a tree.

The last was the image of him flipping the middle finger, which was enlarged, frozen, and the close-up stayed on Fang Hong’s face.

Ambassador Liao watched this scene with a serious expression and then turned his head.

Behind him stood a Starport worker, crestfallen, looking skin and bones, with deeply sunken eye sockets rimmed with dark circles as if he hadn’t slept in days.

Ambassador Liao glanced at him, shook his head with some disappointment, and then spoke, ”Huang Bingkun, look carefully to see if it’s really this boy.”

”It’s him,” the worker nodded weakly, ”I’d recognize him even if he turned to ashes. That’s him, he said his name was Ade, I personally led him in.”

”You must be joking, you’re sure he stowed away?” the American representative stood up and asked loudly, ”Is it possible that you gave him a Glow Device without a number, and you just remembered wrong?”

That’s when the video started playing in a loop again.

Everyone watched the scene of Fang Hong using the Clockwork Fairy to block arrows over and over again, the Clockwork Fairy’s graceful flight arc leaving a profound impression in everyone’s mind.

”But I remember, stowaways don’t have the Summoners System?”

”How did he manage Dual Control?”

In private, the representatives whispered to each other, eyes filled with utter surprise.

The worker hastily defended himself loudly, ”I definitely didn’t remember wrong, besides, I don’t even keep the Glow Material. I swear, he went straight through the Stargate, I guarantee it with my integrity.”

”You don’t have a shred of integrity left,” somebody suddenly remarked next to Ambassador Liao.

It was a young military officer.

Probably only in his early twenties, brimming with youthful vigor, his eyes sharp to the extreme. His stare was so intense that the worker didn’t dare to look up, let alone argue back.

At this moment, Ambassador Liao turned to look at him; the latter nodded and then stepped forward.

His gaze swept across the entire conference area, then he suddenly spoke, ”Regarding this matter, on behalf of China, I appreciate everyone’s concern for the safety of our citizen. However, as a major country, China has the right and the obligation to ensure the safety of its citizens. We also have the capability and confidence to do so—so we will start a rescue operation right away.”

”Hold on,” the American representative immediately spoke out in opposition, ”You have not proven this boy is a Chinese citizen. As we all know, America is a multicultural country, and he could very well be our citizen.”

To this question, Ambassador Liao did not respond but directly exited with the Chinese representatives.

”I protest, you can’t bypass the United Nations and handle this issue unilaterally,” the American shouted indignantly.

He immediately took out a communication device from his shirt pocket, dialed a number, and hurried out from the other side of the venue.

Leaving the rest of the people in the conference room looking at each other, at a loss.

On the big screen, the video kept repeating—

”Hold on,” someone suddenly broke the silence, asking, ”Has the Morning Dawn Star Adventure Group returned?”

After a moment of silence.

Suddenly, the entire conference room burst into life, as everyone started searching for their phones.
