Chapter 2857  Furious

Zoran stared intensely at Venado and coldly said, “I need Fang Heng to carry out a very important mission. If anything happens to him, I will make sure to investigate you thoroughly!”

“Captain, please calm down. I will immediately send someone to bring Fang Heng and his team back. There will be no problem.”

“You have two hours! I need him and his team back and ready to enter the game immediately. If I don’t observe them in two hours, you know the consequences.”

Venado watched Zoran storm off, his brows furrowing.

Trouble!

What ability did this Fang Heng guy have to make Captain Zoran value him so much?

“Huh…”

Venado took a deep breath.

There was still a chance to fix things.

Hopefully, Fang Heng wouldn’t act too quickly.

Thinking of this, Venado immediately dialed the satellite phone, attempting to contact the Coritoban Province railway line.

…

At the Coritoban Province railway platform, Wayne had been pacing back and forth at the entrance of the Black Fog zone for a while and was starting to get impatient.

Why hadn’t Mr. Fang come out yet?

He said he would go in to investigate, but it’s been nearly half an hour already.

Could he have run into trouble?

Wayne looked around at the other members of his team.

Except for his subordinates, everyone else seemed completely calm.

How could they not be worried at all?

Just as Wayne was wondering whether he should go in to check on the situation himself, there was a commotion near the platform.

Lieutenant Vergil, along with a group of Federation soldiers, hurried over.

“You all…”

Vergil saw that Wayne and his group hadn’t entered the Black Fog zone to take action yet. He had just started to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly spotted that Fang Heng was missing from the crowd. His heart immediately jumped to his throat.

“Where’s Fang Heng?”

Arkley, who was sitting on a nearby bench waiting, glanced at Vergil and said, “The boss went into the Black Fog zone to investigate. What’s the matter?”

“By himself?”

“Is there a problem with that?”

“”Are you all crazy? Letting someone enter the Black Fog zone alone?”

Arkley sneered and replied, “Heh, since when does your military department care so much about the life and death of a mere mercenary?”

“The mission has changed.”

Vergil had no time for verbal sparring with Arkley. He said in a serious tone, “Your current special mission is canceled. The military department now requires you to return immediately to the Star Map Control headquarters and join a special game to assist Captain Zoran in completing a special mission.”

“What kind of nonsense is this? Changing the mission like this? Are you playing with us?” Arkley suddenly stood up, glaring at Vergil. His eyes glowed blood red. “Human! Are you playing me?”

Vergil’s soldiers immediately raised their guns at Arkley’s group.

Vergil quickly raised a hand to halt them, explaining, “This is an urgent special mission. Captain Zoran personally requested your assistance. I just received the emergency orders and arrived to find you.”

Arkley, hearing this, calmed down a little.

“After the mission is completed, relevant personnel will provide a satisfactory explanation,” Vergil added, glancing toward the Black Fog entrance. He frowned and asked, “Fang Heng really went in by himself?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Arkley replied.

Vergil fell silent, fuming inside.

His superiors were a bunch of idiots.

One minute, they wanted this group to die, and now they wanted to do everything to save them.

Now, Fang Heng had already gone off to execute the mission. His fate was uncertain.

These players were all crazy. How could they allow one player to enter the Black Fog zone alone? Wasn’t that a death sentence?

Vergil took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

There was still a chance. Hopefully, Fang Heng hadn’t acted yet, and he could find him in time.

It had only been half an hour since Fang Heng entered the Black Fog zone.

There was still a chance.

Vergil nodded and said, “Your mission is over. I’ll have someone escort you into the train domain. Once we find Mr. Fang Heng, we’ll meet up with you immediately.”

“Wait,” Su Guantong stepped forward and said, “Are you going into the Black Fog zone to look for Fang Heng?”

“Yes.”

“I’m coming with you.”

“You? But…”

“We are Fang Heng’s companions. We are familiar with his aura and can help you.”

Vergil thought for a moment and agreed.

The most important person named by the higher-ups was Fang Heng, and the deaths of the others weren’t as significant.

“Fine. Please be careful and don’t scatter.”

The Federation soldiers immediately formed an expedition team, a large group of thirty, and they set off to explore the Black Fog zone.

As Vergil’s team entered the spreading Black Fog area, a few soldiers at the front immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Huh?

What’s going on…

The players all raised their heads and looked into the sky, noticing that the black fog hovering above was quickly dissipating.

Huh?

What’s happening? The black fog was disappearing?

Did someone destroy the Pillar of Black Fog?

Vergil’s eyes flashed with surprise.

So fast?

The intensity of this black fog was its highest level. The Federation had predicted that the black fog would last at least ten more days, and during that time, they planned to weaken the Holy Court’s influence significantly.

But…

Was it solved so quickly?

Had Archbishop Wolff’s strength increased drastically recently?

Perhaps this was a good thing for them. If the black fog was resolved so quickly, Fang Heng’s assassination mission against Wolff was essentially a failure. He probably wouldn’t risk acting against the Archbishop now…

As the black fog quickly dissipated, the visibility of the area also improved.

“That way,” Vergil said, clearly knowing the location of the black fog’s center. He pointed in the direction of the cathedral and led the group of players toward it at a faster pace.

After walking for a while, Vergil stopped, and the Federation soldiers followed suit, looking up toward the Holy Court.

A figure was rapidly approaching them.

Wayne squinted, recognized the person, and suddenly felt a great sense of relief. He quietly said, “Look! It’s Mr. Fang!”

Fang Heng, having dealt with the Pillar of Black Fog at the cathedral, quickly sensed the players near Wayne and his group, then left the cathedral and made his way toward Vergil’s team.

“Mr. Fang.”

“Hm.”

Fang Heng responded briefly, his gaze focused on Vergil, “The military got here pretty quickly.”

“The mission situation has changed. Your special mission has been canceled,” Vergil said, then glanced toward the cathedral. He asked, “Did you just come from the cathedral…?”

“Hold on. The mission was canceled? Why was it canceled? I need an explanation,” Fang Heng frowned and interrupted. “We’ve already completed the mission. The Federation has no reason to cancel it.”

“What?”

Vergil was stunned by Fang Heng’s words, feeling as though he had heard something unbelievable. He lowered his voice and asked, “What do you mean by saying the mission is completed? Did you kill Wolff?”
