Wen Yu tiptoed to the window and filled his wine glass, then downed it in one go, managing to suppress the frustration in his heart.
The evaluation of Lahar’s value resurfaced in his mind once again.
The ability of Star Wish was indeed impressive—Lahar's memory of its astronomical price was only a reference for now. Once the level restraint was broken, obtaining high-level magic crystals would become much easier.
Two hundred Level 10 Magic Crystals were an astronomical price at the fifth stage, but what about at the tenth stage?
Two hundred Level 10 Magic Crystals could buy a foundation level skill with limit-breaking ability.
It was incredibly cheap!
Moreover, the greatest value of this skill did not lie in the skill itself, but in the intelligence regarding other aspects...
Such as the movements of the demonic clan army around the world.
Such as the whereabouts of hidden strong beings in the world.
Such as intelligence on hostile forces.
Such as the location of a specific skill holder.
There were countless uses...
According to Wen Yu's estimation, probing into information that had already occurred would not be too costly—after all, the way Star Wish provided the source of skills was akin to a transaction!
However, if one also considered the skill cooldown limit...
After a moment of simple contemplation, Wen Yu shook his head with a bitter smile.
Lahar was undoubtedly a treasure for major forces, but for him, it was merely dispensable.
It was a very simple choice—a costly wish once a month but requiring a lifetime of being a caretaker, coupled with offending the military and Tang Haofei...
No matter how he looked at it, it was not worth it.
Therefore, the method for dealing with Lahar became clear!
...
Wen Yu set up a soundproof barrier around Lahar's bed and leisurely took out his communicator.
“Let me go, brother dog, please spare me...”
The cries for mercy, mixed with sobs, echoed from downstairs, causing Wen Yu to curl his lips.
Where were they before...
With the excited barking of dogs ringing in his ears, Wen Yu pressed a few numbers on the communicator.
“Beep... beep...”
Before the busy tone could ring twice, Lin Na's pleasant voice came through the communicator.
“Sir.”
Lin Na's tone remained respectful, but the environment around her was hardly pleasant—Wen Yu could even hear the rough and rude barking of dogs from the other end of the communicator.
“What’s going on? Are you also here to monitor me?”
His tone was not one of anger, just a simple jest. Wen Yu did not trust the military, and likewise, the military would not trust Wen Yu. After seeing Lahar and Wen Yu carelessly stroll through the streets, it was only natural for the Huaxia Military to keep an eye on him.
Lin Na on the other end fell silent for a moment, clearly unable to answer such an awkward question.
Wen Yu did not linger on these trivial matters.
“Tomorrow I will send Lahar back to the country; have the military personnel wait for me at the Huayin border.”
Lin Na's breathing suddenly quickened, struggling to suppress her excitement at completing the mission, and respectfully replied, “Understood, Sir.”
Then she hung up.
Seeing Lin Na hang up first, Wen Yu shook his head with a smile and poured himself another glass of red wine.
While it may have seemed like a simple matter to Wen Yu, it was indeed a source of great frustration for the Huaxia agents. At this moment, hearing the news of mission completion, Lin Na’s reaction was indeed one of impatience.
Promotion?
Raise?
An impressive résumé?
A smooth career path?
Perhaps all of these.
In summary, it was a small goal and small progress for a minor character.
The sounds of battle below became a bit more intense. From Wen Yu's perspective, he could clearly see a large group of government troops wearing Indian military uniforms, marching in orderly steps while setting up guns and cannons several hundred meters away from the hotel, busily creating quite the commotion.
However, what was the use of this...
Even if India had confirmed the presence of limit breakers here, what good would it do?
