Chapter 787: Cooperation for World's Good
By Elysia's entourage arrived at the headquarters, her guardian teams stood guard in their positions as if they were ready to attack anyone with bad intentions toward Elysia.
"Meow, mew, meoow..." Vanessa spoke to several street cats. She gave them food and ordered them to monitor the target building.
"???" Gio had many question marks in his mind, but he kept quiet and waited for his senior sister to finish talking to the cats.
"Mm, we're done here. Let's stand guard at our positions. Hm?" Vanessa got back on her feet and turned around, but she noticed something was happening on the other team at three o'clock.
Even so, she just looked away and invited Gio to leave because Yuuki and Lynn could handle those uninvited visitors.
On top of skyscraper construction stood two fox-masked girls dressed in white dresses with light blue accents. They stared silently at the building where Elysia had just visited.
"..." Lynn glanced at Yuuki, but she only received a slight nod.
Two people clad in white robes with bluish accents and snow patterns happened to land nearby. They were on a mission but happened to run into their fellow disciples.
"???" The veiled girl wondered who the two white-haired girls were. They wore robes similar to her, so they probably belonged to the same sect as her. She glanced at her junior brother, who was just as clueless as her.
"Ahem. Pardon my rudeness, my fellow daoist sisters. However, may I know what you are doing here?" The man ran his hand through his spiky white hair. He received the signal from his senior sister and wanted to act cool.
"That boy is a participant." A gust of wind whispered softly into Yuuki and Lynn's ears.
"You've received the warning letter, yet you come to us. Is this a coincidence, or are you after something else? You even involved a neutral party." Yuuki muttered softly in a cold tone.
The air temperature suddenly turned cold because Yuuki hated anyone who came to harm her master just because of that stupid bounty. It didn't matter who the perpetrator was. They deserved punishment.
"What do you mean by-" The spiky-haired boy was confused, but his instincts suddenly warned him of the inevitable danger.
One of the white-haired girls disappeared all of a sudden.
The spiky-haired boy tried to distance himself, but a sudden mental pressure fell on him. He couldn't move a single inch, but he tried his best to look back.
"!?" The spiky-haired boy could see a piercing gaze from the girl's crystal blue eyes behind that fox mask.
The danger was imminent, but there was no way to escape the sudden attack. He was not capable of evading it!
"Ghak!" The spiky-haired boy gasped in surprise. That girl stabbed his back with her bare hand. He wanted to scream, but the excruciating pain never came.
"You are pretty new, right? Still, you shouldn't be participating in that death match, boy. Go to sleep now." Lynn gently extracted the black chess piece from that boy and returned to Yuuki's side.
*Thud*
The spiky-haired boy immediately fell to the ground like a broken doll. His senior sister didn't even have the slightest intention of helping him.
His consciousness slowly left him. He was sent into unconsciousness with so much confusion in his mind. The change of event was so fast.
"W-why?" The veiled girl gripped her dagger's handle with her trembling hand. Her traits were ice-related abilities, but she currently felt cold and intimidated.
The sudden attack just now couldn't be detected or avoided at all. If the target was her, she would obviously lose without being able to put up any resistance. These white-haired girls with fox masks were experts equal to or higher than her master!
"..." Yuuki and Lynn ignored the question because they needed to see what was happening inside the building with their magic eyes.
"???" The veiled girl wondered in mind. The other party didn't respond but didn't attack her either. Perhaps, her junior brother once offended these esteemed cultivators?
She squatted down and checked her junior brother's condition with her inner strength. He was still alive, only passed out with slight internal trauma.
A feeling of relief fell on her heart because only big problems would await her if her junior brother died. Even so, she had to know what and why with the sudden attack just now.
"Forgive my impoliteness, revered masters. May I know why you suddenly attacked my junior brother? Did we do something wrong that we were not aware of?" The veiled girl grasped her fist and bowed slightly to salute.
"You can ask your junior brother. We are chaos executioners. All participants will be eliminated and punished based on their actions. But your friend is lucky since he is new to the game." Vanessa glanced back before jumping down from the building. Lynn followed right after.
"..." The veiled girl was stunned for a few seconds. She didn't get the answer she was hoping for, but she got clues about what was happening. If it was like this, she could only continue her mission alone, but she had to place her junior brother somewhere safe first.
She heaved a subtle sigh and carried her junior brother away like a sack of potatoes. Her junior brother offended whom he should not offend, apparently.
Meanwhile, Elysia has just finished building a mutualism agreement with the highest ministers of the Japanese regional health organization. They agreed to all the conditions she gave and would soon produce the antidote for the good of the world.
"I will see your performance soon, don't disappoint us, or you will receive the retribution." Elysia stood up and turned around.
"Yes, we will do it without fail, Elysia-sama. All patients will only receive faxes at the Alchemy Association or at our headquarters. All soldiers on the battlefield have also been withdrawn due to that mysterious disease. However, are you sure you want to keep your identity a secret as the inventor of this antidote?" An old expert looked at the several vials of the antidote and the prescription in his hand.
"Yeah, just do like the deal." Elysia responded without looking back. She walked away with Evelyn beside her. The elite squad immediately followed right away.
The room fell into silence, leaving the three old men still in awe of the charm and abilities of that young alchemist. The antidote almost instantly affected the patient of the mysterious illness. They had already proven it to a patient in the hospital next building.
"Her name is Elysia, huh... Who would have thought the Minamoto Clan would be hiding someone as great and valuable as her." One of the higher-ups muttered while stroking his beard.
"Stop worrying about insignificant things. She has entrusted this to us as the first option. The current state of the Minamoto Clan is currently unfavorable too... Now is the time for us to act to save the world!"
"Yeah, she will also distribute samples and prescriptions to several other international organizations such as the Alchemy Association, and she may also send them to other countries. We must move quickly to be at the forefront of the production of this antidote."
The two old men rushed out of the room because there were so many things they needed to do.
"Hey, you're old and running in the corridor?" The other old man soon followed, but not in such a hurry.
Elysia and Evelyn proceed to the Alchemy Association headquarters for cooperation. However, the higher-ups agreed right away without further ado.
After receiving satisfactory results, Elysia and Evelyn left the Minamoto Clan's escort to gather with their group at a predetermined place.
'Ely, did you just leave those people like that? They will panic when they can't find you anywhere.' Ai couldn't stop thinking about Elysia's mischievous actions.
'I've left a note for them. It will be fine. We're going to America soon, and there's no way we're going on a plane with them.' Elysia looked back before putting her hand on Evelyn's shoulder. They disappeared from the toilet, leaving only the key and a piece of paper.
"Welcome back." Rhea welcomed Elysia's arrival with pleasure.
"We're back." Elysia responded with a smile.
"So, we will directly visit several international organizations in several superpower countries soon?" Nell asked while looking up at the twilight sky. It was only an hour or two before the sun completely set.
"Yes, we have seven representative destinations. They will do the troublesome work for us. They are in the superpower countries other than Japan. Let's finish this before dinner." Elysia put her hands together.
"Wow, we're against time? So, we only have about half an hour for each destination?" Sylvia scratched her head.
"Teleportation is feasible, and traveling at high speed is also easy. We can finish this before dinner." Vanessa clasped her hands.
"And tomorrow is the feast!" Xero grinned and made a hand claw gesture. He just couldn't wait for tomorrow.
"Who will be the shadow knight who will escort Ely and Eve besides me? I need one extra person." Ai popped her head out of Elysia's shadow.
"Then, allow me to volunteer. My abilities can save us a lot of trouble in unfamiliar places with unknown environments." Lynn raised her hand to volunteer.
"Good. Then, come here. I'll tell you your assignment." Ai beckoned Lynn to approach.
Lynn had a bad feeling, but she didn't think it was that terrible because she and Ai were on the same side.
"Kya!" Lynn yelped in surprise. Her legs were pulled, and she was plunged into Elysia's shadow. She only entered the Shadow Realm, nothing terrible.
Lifa then joined Yuuki's team to maintain the balance of the five guardian teams in their star formation.
'Now is our time to go to the western continent.' Elena told everyone via telepathy.
With that being said, everyone positioned themselves, including the nature spirits, before Elysia used long-range teleportation.
She used teleportation several times because she didn't have an exact destination point before arriving at the location she was hoping for.
