“Okay.” Lugh nodded. “No resistance, no small tricks. If you are found out, you will die!”

The old professor heaved a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had saved his life.

His other two colleagues were quite accomplished in pet training.

Their students had a solid grasp of pet cultivation knowledge and were very good assistants.

As for the other staff members, they had been in the underground research institute for a few years and had mastered a few good cultivation techniques.

The Southwest Military definitely needed them.

It was also because of this reason that he made everyone give up resistance when the underground research institute was attacked.

The old professor hurriedly nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Sir. I will restrain them well.”

Lugh pointed at those complicated instruments and said, “Are these experimental instruments valuable?”

“They are very valuable. They are all produced and developed by us, the Black Feather Organization.”

“Can any of you dismantle them?”

“Yes, we are the professionals responsible for the installation and maintenance of the instruments.”

Lugh ordered, “Take them away together. Don’t damage them.”

“Don’t worry, Sir. We won’t damage the equipment.” The professor shouted, “Team leader, bring your men over.”

Although Lugh didn’t know much about research, he knew that the research institute of the Southwest Military Ministry should use these things.

With the current level of industrial development, these astute instruments were extremely rare.

This was especially so in the Southwest Region of the Illumination Empire Federation. The industrial base wasn’t very developed to begin with.

Moving these professional researchers and valuable experimental instruments back to the Southwest Military would definitely be a meritorious service.

Other than having the professionals in the research lab disassemble the equipment, Lugh also ordered the Gold-tier Beast Masters to move the equipment as well.

“Captain Lugh, there’s something I need to discuss with you in private.”

Scott, who had been standing beside Lugh the entire time, asked without saying a word.

“Sure.”

Lugh handed the matter of handling the captives to Gary.

Lucy was in charge of the matter of emptying the entire underground research lab.

Lugh left the underground research lab with the controlled expert from the Black Feather Organization and Scott.

“What’s the matter?”

Scott looked at Lugh and asked, “Captain Lugh, can you help me find my daughter?”

“Why should I help you?” Lugh sneered.

It was not that Lugh was heartless.

He was protecting the underground research institute established by the Black Feather Organization, the thousands of civilians who had disappeared in Blue Star City recently.

The things that Scott had done in Blue Star City were enough to shoot him dozens of times.

Even if he had his own difficulties, and his daughter was kidnapped, he should have revealed some information to the Southwest.

With the methods of the Emergency Response Team, it was not impossible for them to save his daughter.

However, he announced to the public… That he had fallen from a building and died.

Scott lowered his head and took a deep breath, he directly knelt in front of Lugh. “Captain Lugh, my wife is dead, and I only have one daughter. Please, I only beg you to help me save her. As long as you can help me save her, I’m willing to die.”

“Do you still remember the oath you took when you joined the Emergency Response Team?” Lugh asked in a low voice. “For your daughter, you betrayed the military and indirectly killed thousands of civilians. Was it worth it?”

Scott lowered his head, tears dripping down his face. “I… am guilty. I can not be forgiven.”

Lugh looked at the water stains on the cement floor. After a long silence, he slowly said, “I can try. On account that you were once a member of the Emergency Response Team.”

“Thank you.”

Lugh looked at the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly and said, “Hypnosis.”

The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s hypnosis talent was, logically speaking, almost impossible for it to hypnotize a peak Platinum-tier expert.

However, it had the talent of Spirit Domination. When it completely controlled a peak Platinum-tier expert, it had the ability to hypnotize this peak Platinum-tier Beast Master.

After the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly completely hypnotized the other party, Lugh asked, “Where’s Scott’s daughter?”

The expert from the Black Feather Organization replied, “Dead!”

Dead?

Dead!

Lugh looked at Scott in surprise.

“When did she die?”

“Three years ago.”

Three years ago?

Scott suddenly got up from the ground, grabbed the collar of the expert from the Black Feather Organization, and roared, “You lied to me! You lied to me, didn’t you?! I even chatted with her a month ago!”

Fortunately, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly controlled the other party first and hypnotized him.

Otherwise, with Scott’s strength, he would have woken him up long ago.

“Scott, calm down!” Lugh pulled Scott back and walked to the Black Feather Organization’s expert and asked, “Then who was the one who talked to Scott a month ago?”

“It was Leiden.”

Leiden?

Lugh did not know him.

Scott said loudly, “Captain Lugh, the person who video-chatted with me a month ago was definitely my daughter. My daughter did not die.”

Lugh asked calmly, “Who is Leiden?”

“He is from our Black Feather Organization. He is good at disguising and imitating.”

“How did that Leiden impersonate Scott’s daughter and confuse him?”

“After Scott’s daughter committed suicide, we didn’t come back. Before she died, the Cult Master of the Beast God Cult happened to be present, so we forcefully extracted a portion of her memory so that Leiden could disguise himself.”

Lugh looked at the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.

The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly confirmed that the other party was in a hypnotic state.

Therefore, there was a high probability that the other party’s words were true.

If the other party really extracted the memory fragments of Scott’s daughter, it was indeed very likely to deceive Scott.

Since it was a video chat, then there were too many restrictions.

“Impossible! Impossible, my daughter couldn’t have committed suicide!” Scott shouted loudly, “She promised me! She promised me to live well and wait for me to save her. Impossible, impossible, you’re definitely lying! You’re lying to me.”

Scott’s emotions were close to madness.

He rushed towards the Black Feather Organization’s expert, but was controlled by the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.

Lugh asked, “Why would Scott’s daughter commit suicide?”

“It was Scott who leaked the contents of our transaction during a conversation with his daughter three years ago.”

Scott’s eyes widened as he stared at the Black Feather Organization’s expert.

His consciousness was still present.

“What transaction contents?”

“Scott’s daughter really wanted to go out and take a look, but I didn’t agree. Scott said at that time that he would give us more people. On the night after his daughter went out and returned, she took advantage of our inattention and committed suicide,” the expert from the Black Feather Organization said, “We had no choice. We could only let Leiden disguise himself and borrow the memory fragments to intentionally reduce the time he had to talk to Scott, so we muddled along.”

Scott stood where he was, his eyes filled with despair and pain.

“Who’s Leiden?”

“A Platinum-tier Beast Master. He was killed by Lugh.”

Lugh asked again, “Then where’s Scott’s daughter’s body?”

“She was burned to ashes in the crematorium together with the other people’s bodies and brought out of Blue Star City.”

…

After the hypnosis ended, there was no need to ask the rest.

After removing his control over Scott, Scott lay weakly on the ground.

Lugh sat on the flower bed at the side, not knowing what to say.

Scott’s daughter’s suicide was to help her father get rid of the control of the Black Feather Organization.

However, it was obvious that she did not get what she wanted.

“The Black Feather Organization should have people in the army of Blue Star City, right?”

The Black Feather Organization had been hiding in Blue Star City for so long. Other than Scott’s cooperation, they should have infiltrated the Blue Star City Army as well.

“There are,” Scott said in a low voice. “I was the one who planted them.”

“You’ve explained everything, right?”

“Alright.”

The current Scott had no reason to protect the Black Feather Organization anymore.

His hatred for the Black Feather Organization was monstrous.

The purge started with the main Beast Master forces of Blue Star City.

Among the Beast Master forces of Blue Star City that Scott had brought with him, there were people from the Black Feather Organization.

It was just that after Lugh eliminated the bait, he quickly found the underground research room. These people didn’t have the chance to go out and report it at all.

Scott wasn’t stupid either. The army of Blue Star City had been infiltrated by the Black Feather Organization.

He knew most of them.

When those Beast Masters were caught by Scott, they didn’t put up any resistance.

That was because Lugh was watching from the side.

They had all seen with their own eyes how Lugh had tortured and killed their leader.

The only fortunate thing was that the former Deputy Guardian of Blue Star City, Rodney, didn’t have any problems.
