Ling Lan immediately asked Little Four to contact Ling Xiao and she told him what they had discovered .

Ling Xiao's gentle smile slowly disappeared as she was explaining her presumptions . That gentle dad-like aura disappeared from his body and instead, the aura he was exuding was regal and serious, very fitting for someone of such a high caliber . At first, he thought that the mineral veins were already troublesome enough . He didn't expect his daughter to get involved in another even more troublesome matter . Compared to this matter, the mineral veins were nothing .

Ling Xiao looked at the cold-looking Ling Lan and took a deep breath to calm himself down . He was convinced that his daughter was a magnet to troublesome matters . No matter where she went, she would always meet some sort of trouble .

He needed to become stronger . If not, he wouldn't be able to handle all the problems his daughter threw at him . He didn't want his image as an omnipotent father to crash and burn .

“My words are still the same . Leave Mailer Fa to me . If you can, leave Mai'er Fa and come back home . ” Ling Xiao believed that his daughter wouldn't act rashly but her attractiveness towards troubles might cause them to look for her . It was safer for her to just stay at home .

He glanced coldly at Li Lanfeng who was wearing a mask and standing beside his daughter . He was the culprit . He was the one who led his precious daughter his astray . His instincts were right . This person was 'dangerous' for his daughter .

Ling Xiao's impression of Li Lanfeng dropped drastically . He never interfered with his daughter's life but if he could, he wanted to force him away from Ling Lan . Ling Xiao ascertained the fact that he didn't like Li Lanfeng once again .

Ling Lan shook her head decisively . “Father, I'll not go back before the mecha tournament ends . However, I've asked Lanfeng to give up his mission . We won't interfere with this matter voluntarily . We'll wait for your notice . ”

Ling Xiao understood what Ling Lan wanted to say . If they continued provoking their opponent, they might attack them .

Ling Xiao saw the firm look in Ling Lan's eyes and knew that he couldn't force her on the matter . This was Ling Lan's belief . If he stopped her, she might get affected mentally . It would also affect her growth in the future .

“Be careful then . ” Ling Xiao could only end their conversation with this sentence .

After her daughter's face disappeared on his screen, Ling Xiao continued staring at the black virtual screen for a moment before he released a long drawn-out sigh .

“It looked like I have to hasten my pace . ” Ling Xiao's gaze turned ruthless . He wanted to do things slowly but the information Ling Lan brought back again and again allowed him to understand that he didn't have the time anymore .

He knew that one of the reasons why Ling Lan didn't want to come back was because she didn't want to affect his plan . Most people already knew that Ling Lan went out of the Federation . Once she returned, a lot of attention would be placed on them again, increasing the pressure on his shoulders, making him not be able to carry out his plan .

Ten days pa.s.sed . Within these ten days, the normal ace mecha masters who partic.i.p.ated in this tournament got gradually eliminated . Besides some extremely lucky ace mecha operators, most of those that remained were mecha operators who were close to becoming an imperial operator .

In one of the matches, two ace mecha masters got worked up and started attacking each other's vital points without caring about the rules of the tournament . In the end, one was seriously injured while the other died in battle . The mecha tournament turned b.l.o.o.d.y all of a sudden .

However, this was what attracted gamblers . The wagers and stakes started increasing . To them, only life-or-death battles were exciting enough to battle high .

In a special room, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran laid on their beds opposite each other . Compared to ten days ago, they seemed even more tired .

“Our opponents are getting stronger,” Mu Chaoran said indifferently .

“Yes . After those normal ace operators left, only the elites remained . Every single match is hard . ” Tang Ningyu relaxed his fingers . During one of his match today, he fell into the trap of his sly opponent . Fortunately, his hand speed was above the normal ace operator's level so he managed to dodge a lethal attack due to his extreme hand speed . If not, he might have lost .

He would not only lose, but he might also die . That attack was aimed at his vital point . If it hit him, he would be seriously injured .

Tang Ningyu managed to survive but he was injured too . The nerves on his fingers got hurt . When he moved his fingers, he would feel a stinging pain on fingers .

There were still many matches to fight tomorrow so he must recover tonight . If not, he would be in a dire state tomorrow . Fortunately, Mai'er Fa didn't take away their belongings . They restricted their actions and locked them up in a special room where they couldn't escape using their domain energy . However, they still have their recovery agents . They managed to survive until now due to these recovery agents from the Flying Dragon Special Forces .

But, the recovery agent supply was limited . Tang Ningyu appeared agitated and confused . They had lost contact with the Flying Dragon Special Forces for ten days . By right, the Flying Dragon Special Forces should have sent people to rescue them . Why didn't they receive any news from the Flying Dragon Special Forces

yet?

res .

Tang Ningyu knew the capabilities of the hackers from the Flying Dragon Special Forces . If they wanted to send any information out, they would and could find a way . The only possibility was, Chief Lin, who helped them with their fake ident.i.ty, didn't know that they had disappeared . Hence, the Flying Dragon Special Forces didn't know that something had happened to them .

However, was this even possible? Based on what their superiors told them, Chief Lin was the most trustworthy person among all the people that worked with the Flying Dragon Special Forces . If such a trustworthy person betrayed the Flying Dragon Special Forces…

Tang Ningyu's heart turned cold . Mu Chaoran had also thought about the same thing . He had this thought much earlier than Tang Ningyu .

“We can't wait for death . ” Tang Ningyu understood the hand gestures Mu Chaoran was doing secretly . This was a game they invented when they were bored . However, it was put to

use now .

“But, there are enemies all around us . We have no chance . ” Tang Ningyu used hand gestures to reply to him . At the same time, he talked about the brutal fight that he had today . They started exchanging experiences just like last time .

“Can't you tell that our opponents had gotten more ruthless?” Mu Chaoran continued chatting with Tang Ningyu but his hand gestures showed how he truly felt . “They wanted to kill us now . They hope that we will die in the arena . ”
