Chapter 689: 12.91 Unknown Star - Modern ABO World: Second Case - Yu Xi's Choice.
A sudden surge of sweet fragrance spreads in the hall. This is the scent of an omega's pheromones. The scent of their pheromones had always been stronger than alpha and it had an enticing effect on alphas as well.
Affected by Hei Yuhua's ability to control other people's minds, those who were taken over were people who had no other choice but to follow his voice commands. The effect of his ability is like mind control which doesn't give many limitations when it comes to targets.
Choosing Agent A as his main target, Nightshade lost control of her own body. She can only follow the issued commands of Hei Yuhua. When she was ordered not to move, her body came with something, not hers. She can only look at Hei Yuhua in disbelief.
Nightshade grits her teeth in despair and looks terrified at Hei Yuhua. She didn't expect Agent Y's ability to be this overpowering. For a strong person like him, this kind of ability is like an extra cheat skill.
"You... even though I've expected you to be an ability user this is still too much. How can you control me like a puppet!?"
"If you don't stop screaming I can order that you shut your mouth as well," said Hei Yuhua. "Either way, it is better for you to just answer my questions. You can still go back to your country alive if you give my honest answers."
"In your dreams!" said Nightshade.
Even though she wasn't a blind loyalist of Poppy, betraying her savior is something she couldn't do. Seeing her reaction, Hei Yuhua couldn't help but snort at her.
Hei Yuhua spoke, "System Yang. Are you able to get surveillance from past events at least ten years ago?"
System Yang responded, [I can. But you must give me a medium where to transfer it into.]
"Would my phone be alright?" asked Hei Yuhua.
System Yang answered, [It would suffice.]
A little sun appeared in the thin air. It floated around Hei Yuhua and his materialized avatar form can be seen even by Abigail Crowell. Agent A was stunned and speechless by such a magical scene. She had only seen something appearing out of nowhere a few times before and that was the white snake that Poppy owns. She would also sometimes hear him call it a system.
Agent A asked, "T-That... What the h.e.l.l is that? It can talk!?"
"You act like you haven't seen a System before. Doesn't Poppy have a White Snake-shaped one?" said Hei Yuhua as he glanced at Abigail Crowell.
Agent A recalled from her memories the scenes of seeing the white snake and every time Poppy did something that wasn't normal this so-called System was always present.
This made her realize something and looked at the little glowing sun floating around Hei Yuhua and asked with fear, "Is that... Is that your G.o.d?"
System Yang spoke, [It's true that I am a G.o.d but that little white snake is only a DemiG.o.d. It's too weak to be called G.o.d. Moreover, the Lord had it destroyed already. It no longer exists.]
Agent A spoke, "Destroyed? Does that mean Poppy is no longer... as powerful as before?"
"Yes but he still might have hidden a few things he had redeemed from his system mall. The Teleportation Spell Circle you've seen that I've used is something I got from System Yang for getting points while the points can only be rewarded to me after I've done some mission for the System," said Hei Yuhua.
System Yang spoke, [The transfer had been made. Every video you need is on your phone now. But it seems this lady is one of his missions. Either way, I've done my job. By the way, it is better to erase the memory of her about us, Systems. Only those who can host a G.o.d's soul are able to remember information about us else... There would be chaos in this world.]
The floating little sun had disappeared after saying those words under the gaze of Agent A leaving her unable to believe whatever she is seeing.
Hei Yuhua silently agreed to the words of System Yang. At the moment he is looking through his phone's interface and watching videos from the distant past. The quality isn't that good as the camera's from 10 years ago haven't reached the HD version. He continued to watch until he found the video about Nightshade. It was the day that he thought he had perfectly killed Agent A but in the end, he didn't even realize that the dead body at that time was only dumb and, not the real Abigail Crowell.
Narrowing his eyes in understanding, Hei Yuhua muttered, "So that's what happened after I left you at that alley. That's how he saved you and why you ended up being abandoned by your country. I'll let you see the true face of your savior."
He looked at Agent A with confusion in her eyes and approached her with graceful steps. He faced the phone screen in front of her and played an old video of what really happened in the past when she was saved by her so-called hero.
Abigail Crowell didn't want to watch in the beginning but when she heard her Intelligence Division Leader's voice talking to someone from the Syndicate she realized that she was fooled. She watches the business interaction between her former boss and Poppy on the screen. The latter had bought her life for a few billion dollars and her country was indeed willing to sell her to the Red Poppy Syndicate
Then the scene in that alley, before Ying Su appeared in front of her like a light of hope, she heard him talking to the white snake system talking about a mission and saving her. She even heard him treating her as a useful p.a.w.n under his control. He was completely different from the Poppy that Nightshade knows. After seeing that video, Nightshade knows that it was a legit copy. The bad quality was enough to say it all, this kind of video is the hardest to edit as it was almost pixelated and even simple editing would make it fake.
Abigail Crowell was stunned; she can't believe that the life she had lived all this time was someone's script. She was treated as a useful p.a.w.n that can be disregarded as long as her use is finished. Only now that she realized that she wasn't only betrayed by her country but also the man whom she had thought was her savior.
Remembering how she foolishly acted according to Ying Su's control, her tears just fell down from her face while a look of disbelief tainted her appearance.
Hei Yuhua took back his phone and said, "By the way, this is something you must know. That time when I gave that phone to you to say your last goodbyes to your loved ones they were in your workplace. So what happened next after they heard you died... Your loved ones were also..."
This information was the last straw. Agent A screamed in intense grief and hatred. At this moment she hated her country and hated the Red Poppy Syndicate, especially Ying Su. But Hei Yuhua's expression turned grim and dark as more time pa.s.sed by. To him, it was better to kill off everything that may become a hindrance to his and his husband's future.
So with a cold gaze, Hei Yuhua raised his hand which was holding a gun, and pointed it at Agent A's head. He stares at her with indifference as if he was already looking at a corpse.
Hei Yuhua said, "10 years ago you should have died. If you had died just then I and A'Yu wouldn't have suffered in all those lifetimes. You were the biggest hindrance for me to capture the other executives. As long as you are gone things will be easier for me."
Abigail Crowell felt the looming death over her. Seeing Agent Y's expressionless yet exquisite face, she understands his insecurities. It was indeed her who was preventing others from approaching the members of the Syndicate but it was different right now as she hated the Red Poppy Syndicate to the core after learning the hidden truth of her current position. She was the strongest p.a.w.n Ying Su has.
Nightshade spoke, "N-No... Wait a minute. I will switch with your side. I can help you. I know more information about the Syndicate. I still want to take my revenge on Ying Su and that stupid country of mine!"
But Hei Yuhua's glacial eyes remain unmoved, he had already decided to kill her right from the beginning. Just as he pulled the trigger, someone held his wrist and changed the direction of the gunshot. It was Ye Yuyan who finally appeared with Lou Wei. They've been teleported somewhere a bit far from the main laboratory. Lord Hei accidentally deviated from the teleportation location and they appeared only near Laboratory instead of inside the place.
BANG!
They overheard the conversation between Hei Yuhua and Lou Wei. Though they didn't hear the whole conversation, they at least heard Agent A's promise to tell them all information about the Red Poppy Syndicate. As Ying Su's right-hand person, Nightshade knew more things than the others.
Lou Wei cuffed Agent A and injected Heaven's potion into her. They found more of this potion in this place when looking for Hei Yuhua. The two of them had also set up some bombs in the whole laboratory intending to destroy it all. Leaving no more traces of illegal drug production.
Prosecutor Ye Yuyan spoke, "Yu'er, she is more useful alive than dead."
"A'Yu, why are you here?" asked Hei Yuhua if the coldness in him faded as long as Ye Yuyan was around.
Prosecutor Ye Yuyan said, "Lord Hei teleported us over. But we were teleported farther from you and spent our time looking around for you in the whole laboratory. But thanks to that we had gathered enough proof of the Red Poppy Syndicate getting involved with illegal drug production in our country. Now that we know the ident.i.ties of those executives we can bring them all down."
"Then let's do it as soon as possible," said Hei Yuhua.
Ye Yuyan hugged his wife and said, "Leave the rest to me. You're tired. Let's go home."
"Okay," said Hei Yuhua as he hugged back his husband and finally the dark emotions within him had faded.
Lou Wei carried Agent A like a bag of the sack as she had fainted after being injected by the dis-enhancer. Her ability is being erased by the effect of Heaven's Potion.
All of them had teleported back home after destroying the whole Secret Laboratory. The sudden fire in the middle of the forest caught the eyes of the government and media. The next day all news about this hidden laboratory was reported in the news.
Hei Yuhua fell asleep and his husband had no other choice but to carry him in his arms. The fatigue took over as soon as Ye Yuyan appeared. To Hei Yuhua, as long as his beloved is around he would be safe.

Back in Yu Xi's house...
Ying Su was unable to fall asleep while thinking of what happened tonight. Not only his warehouses were all destroyed, but he also doesn't know who the main culprits are. He was thinking it was Ye Yuyan and the rest but he doesn't have enough proof plus his white snake system hadn't returned at all. He was worried in his heart that something might have happened to it.
After peeking at the other side of the bed, he saw that Yu Xi was sleeping peacefully and decided to leave the bed for a while. Unknown to him, Yu Xi was just pretending to be asleep.
Ying Su left the bedroom and went to the study room next door. He went into a hidden compartment within the Study Room and checked on the remaining tools and materials he had redeemed all these lifetimes that he hasn't used all this time.
There is a basket of white stones which seems to be low-leveled healing stones, a box of all kinds of talismans, high technology barrier orbs, and one Resurrection gem. Every single one of these causes numerous points to be exchanged now that his system is gone there are no ways to redeem more of these things. He can only pack up everything.
Yu Xi was watching him from beyond the door. His face was serious as he even took a photo of everything in that hidden compartment and sent it to Ye Yuyan.
He then mumbled, "This would be the last help from me, Yuyan. I'm sorry."
This was the message attached to the photo. He had sent to Prosecutor Ye Yuyan's number. Then he went inside the room to have a serious talk with Ying Su
