Chapter 1399: Snake in the Insect
"Okay, I'm at the side of the bull-horned giant now. No support is needed for the time being. The giant seems to have collapsed. I'm collecting evidence now. You can send a small team over to seal off the nearby area."

Vagina glanced at He Ao beside her and said quickly, "You continue to block the surrounding area and notify all the executives of the Kvothe Group to come to the company immediately to cooperate with the investigation of tonight's attack. If anyone does not come, just go to their door to invite them."

She paused and continued, "Let the executives keep in touch with the CEO to confirm whether he has lost contact or is missing. The information has been sent to my wristband. OK, I understand."

When she had finished speaking, she put down the intercom, picked up the bracelet, and quickly turned it on.

"The CEO can't be contacted?" He Ao looked at Vicina and asked softly.

"Yes," Vagina nodded slightly, looking at the information projected by the bracelet and said quickly, "The silver-haired old man died in the attack just now. The remaining executives are leaderless, so they are frantically contacting the CEO and urging the executive to come quickly."

She flipped through the messages and said, "Originally the CEO said he would arrive soon, but when the time came, the executives didn't wait for him, and when they called again, they couldn't get through.

"We called the CEO's villa, and the servants said he had left long ago. The executives arranged for people to look for him along the way, but they couldn't find him."

Vagina raised her head, looked at He Ao, and rubbed her forehead. "Do you think he is out of contact or missing? This timing is a bit too coincidental."

"In theory, as the actual controller of the Kwater Group's Denuo branch, I shouldn't be 'lost contact' no matter what happens." He Ao pondered.

"Yeah," Vagina's brown-gold curly hair rippled in the heat wave, with a little sweat seeping out of her cheeks. She pondered with a little doubt, "Could it be that he is the mastermind behind this? Fleeing for fear of crime?"

Then she shook her head again, "But he shouldn't be afraid. If he is the mastermind behind the scenes, and he is the head of the Kvothe Group, as one of the few powerful people in this city, he shouldn't be afraid even if his identity is guessed.

"Besides, we haven't even thought about him yet, that's not right,"

She frowned slightly. "Calculating the time, when he 'lost contact', the bull-horned giant was still alive. We haven't even started to speculate yet. Even if he 'escaped', it shouldn't be at this time."

At this moment, she felt that her thoughts were like a messy ball of wool, with knots tied into one in her mind.

She subconsciously raised her head and looked at He Ao.

"Perhaps, he didn't lose contact completely 'voluntarily'." He Ao said thoughtfully as he looked at the lava on the ground that was gradually cooling down.

"You mean someone interfered with him?" Vigina was slightly stunned. "If he is the mastermind behind the scenes, he must be a powerful transcendent. Who could interfere with him and make him 'lose contact' so unnoticeably?"

She pondered, "Or is he just a civilian? He has no fighting ability? No,"

She shook her head again. "I shouldn't force the conclusion we just discussed into this case and complicate a simple issue. His case may not be the same as the presidential assassination case. He may not be the mastermind behind the scenes. Maybe he is just a professional manager..."

At this point, she thought for a moment and said, "Then he has no reason to 'escape', so his loss of contact,

She raised her head and looked at He Ao, "Either he was assassinated or kidnapped."

Professional managers of large conglomerates are popular kidnapping targets in the underworld. Although many large gangs are aware of the horror of large conglomerates and are even supported by them, there are still many desperadoes and young people who are keen on kidnapping professional managers.

They often believe that kidnapping the CEO or president of a group will greatly enhance their status in the underworld.

They believe that these professional managers are the owners of the consortium, who can mobilize large amounts of wealth and extort high ransoms.

But the end result is often that not only will they fail to get a high ransom, but they will also be caught by the gangs under the consortium in a very short time and shut up forever.

Professional managers are the top group of company employees. Although they have enormous power and earn far more than ordinary executives, their wealth is incomparable to those who actually own the consortium.

The consortium will hardly pay a high ransom for a professional manager. If they can arrange a rescue, they will do so. If they cannot, they will choose to express their condolences and hire a new professional manager.

In fact, even kidnapping the consortium's major shareholder would not be a threat to the consortium.

A major shareholder of Copes Mining was once kidnapped by kidnappers, who demanded that Copes Mining hand over a series of confidential business documents.

Eventually, the majority shareholder unexpectedly died during the costly 'rescue', and his son inherited his seat on the board, and everything went on as before.

However, many desperadoes are unaware of this, and they can only take risks to kidnap those they think are "big shots" and try to extort some money from them.

"However, for someone like the branch CEO who knows a lot of secrets, the Kvothe Group should have security personnel, and ordinary assassins and kidnappers should not be able to get close to him," after a series of speculations, Vagina's thoughts gradually came back.

But why didn't he see the message from the CEO's security guard?

She lowered her head and looked at the information on her bracelet. "Wait, the CEO's main security team is on leave today? This time is when the protection is the weakest? The entire security team has lost contact?"

She continued to frown. "It was during this brief period of time when the security was reduced. How could there be such a weak point where the security force dropped drastically? The person in charge of security at the Kvothe Group..."

At this point, she paused for a moment, realizing something.

She looked up at He Ao, "That security minister is the one who organized the assassination of the president. This security schedule is likely to be done by him!?"

The thoughts in her mind seemed to be sorted out at this moment, "The CEO is not the mastermind behind the scenes, but one of the targets of the mastermind behind the scenes?!"

At this point, she paused. "But why? Why arrest the CEO? What does he want to know? Or what does he want to do?"

These multiple changes in her thoughts made her thinking a little confused.

"We'll know once we catch him." He Ao shook his head slightly, interrupting Victor's increasingly complicated and chaotic thoughts. "Let's do it step by step. Investigate all the executives first."

"Yes," Vagina came back to her senses and nodded gently, "one step at a time."

If He Ao hadn't interrupted her and pulled her out of her thoughts, she would have probably confused herself by now.

She turned her head and looked at Heo. At this moment, Heo had already passed through the gradually solidifying lava, jumped back onto the rock, and pulled out the scimitar that was stuck in the rock.

At this moment, the yellow light that was flowing between the sky and the earth has completely disappeared.

As the last ray of light merged into the scimitar, He Ao reached out and brushed the blade of the scimitar.

The scimitar, which was originally shaped like a crescent moon, has now become much longer, and the blade has become straighter. The arc is much smoother than the previous crescent arc, but it looks even more weird as a whole.

As He Ao brushed the blade, a ray of information also entered He Ao's mind.

The name of this knife now is 'Devil'.

It is neither hideous nor scary, and the blade has a somewhat cold silver luster.

But if you look at it straight ahead, the knife is like an eye emerging from the abyss, slightly narrowed, as if it is crossing time and space, staring at the person who is "looking" at the knife.

However, He Ao did not feel that the knife was scary. After all, he had seen the real abyss.

He raised his hand and gently pressed on the knife.

A stream of fiery light appeared on the blade. The light gathered at the tip of the blade and was pressed into a dark line. Just in front of the line, it seemed that even the space was causing slight ripples.

A surging heat wave rose up in the void and brushed across Howe's cheek.

This is the first ability of this sword, 'Flame Blade'.

After being activated, the blade will generate a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees and have its own armor-piercing effect.

He Ao withdrew his hand, and the black lines covering the blade slowly disappeared.

He put his hands away, tied the knife and the wooden-handled rifle together, and put them on his back. Some turbulent desires and emotions surged in Howe's heart.

This is the second ability of the knife, called "Confusing the Mind". It can select a target, specifically detonate the opponent's emotions and desires, and temporarily affect the opponent's combat state.

The bull-horned giant tried to use this ability to influence He Ao when they just fought.

However, when no target is selected, this ability will be released indiscriminately.

People around this knife will become very emotional and impulsive under the influence of this knife.

However, He Ao used a control array to suppress the spread of this power.

This knife is now considered a B-level extraordinary item. Perhaps because it has been integrated with a bit of the power of grace, some of its effects are actually far beyond the B-level level.

He Ao carried a knife on his back and looked up at the surrounding area.

The square seemed to be surrounded by some kind of shopping mall building. It was already closed for business, and it was pitch black with almost no one around.

But behind the shopping mall building are residential buildings. In the battle just now, with He Ao's speed and the obstruction of the shopping mall, ordinary people could not catch sight of his figure at all.

But the horned giant made so much noise that even Victor saw it, and apparently the surrounding residents saw it as well.

At this moment, the lights in the residential buildings were on, and there was a faint noise coming from them. It was obvious that someone was running away.

But there are still some people who are not afraid of death and are running over here to see what is happening.

He Ao walked back to Viginna and whispered, "Why don't you go back and check the status of those executives first?"

Vigina glanced at Howe, knowing that he was suggesting that they take this opportunity to "separate their forces." She nodded slightly, "Okay."

"cough."

Watching Vagina go deeper into the alley, He Ao coughed lightly and looked down at the dried blood on his palm.

In the recent battle, he had overdrawn his body and used his strength beyond his limits, which had greatly accelerated the pace of his physical collapse.

He Ao originally estimated that this body could last until the morning of the day after tomorrow, but now it seems that it can only last until tomorrow night at most.

He reached into his pocket, touched the envelope containing the mithril test tube, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

Under the Kvotte Group Building

"Chief?" Seeing Vagina walking out from the night, a young agent immediately came forward.

"Thank you for your hard work," Vikina looked at the executives of the Kvoter Group standing in front of the building and asked slowly, "Are all the executives of the Kvoter Group here?"

"Besides the missing CEO, there are three more missing." The young agent quickly replied, "Agents have already gone to the homes of these three executives to 'invite' them. They should be back soon."

"Okay," Vigina walked towards the group of executives and said with a slow smile, "Good evening, everyone."

"If you were dragged out of bed in the middle of the night when you were sleeping soundly," a bearded man in pajamas lit a cigar and said hoarsely, "I think it would be difficult for you to say the word 'good', Miss Virginna."

At this time, as Vagina's call sounded, the young agent handed a stack of information to Vagina.

Vagina took the information, glanced through it, and then looked at the bearded man. "You have a lot of energy. There are female secretaries, female subordinates, and female superiors lying in the same bed. It saves us the effort of looking for people."

As she spoke, a female executive in a corner, who was wearing a simple dress and hotel slippers and smoking silently, changed her expression slightly.

The executives nearby all glanced at her subconsciously.

The bearded man did not seem to expect that Vagina would say these words directly to her face. He seemed to want to refute, but after taking a look at the female executive in the corner, he ended up not saying anything more.

Vagina glanced at the reactions of everyone present. It was obvious that these executives knew everything about the mess between their colleagues and were just pretending not to know.

But Vigina didn't care about this. She glanced at the executives who had been silent and said with a smile, "Let's stop here. I believe all of you executives know why I invited you here today. One of your colleagues has died in the assassination just now, and your chief office has also been blown up."

She glanced at the executives' faces, all with different expressions. "I believe you all must know something. I'll give you some time to think about it. When everyone is here, I'm sure someone will be willing to say something."

After saying that, she turned around and left the area where the executives were.

The remaining executives looked at each other, each thinking about something.

Nourishes—

At this moment, the sound of sudden brakes rang out in the night.

Vagina, who had just walked away from the executives, bumped into a young man walking quickly. He looked up at Vagina and asked in a somewhat cold and anxious tone, "Director Vagina, I heard that you have captured Pashu?"
