Chapter 233 - 233: Sami
She gently placed the strands of hair into Zhou Ling’s hand, momentarily stunning him and causing him to slow down.
“Liao Nai has been kidnapped by the imperial family. I’m going to save him right now,” Liao Ning hurriedly explained, knowing that Nana would periodically glance back at her, leaving no room for a lengthy explanation. She swiftly caught up with Nana.
As she departed, Zhou Ling gazed at the silver strands in his palm and then in the direction where Liao Ning had vanished.
“Tim, why aren’t you coming?” his companion called out.
Zhou Ling discreetly pocketed the hair before hastening to catch up, leaving behind his lingering thoughts.
Following Nana, Liao Ning arrived at a warehouse situated in the rebel army’s backyard. To her surprise, a small military aircraft was parked inside.
Nana had already discarded her cloak. “Quick, get on board! This military aircraft can remain hidden for a few minutes, allowing us to ascend undetected. Beyond that, luck will be our guide.”
“Luck?” Liao Ning couldn’t help but feel incredulous. Wasn’t the royal family supposed to have a solid plan?
Nana rolled her eyes at her. “Do you think dealing with the rebel army is a walk in the park? They’ve been fighting against the empire for years, and they’re not as simple as you might imagine. I originally kept this aircraft as an escape option, but now it’s yours.”
As the aircraft’s door sealed shut, it swiftly transitioned into an invisible state. Nana utilized her iris to activate the function and promptly initiated the aircraft.
However, merely five minutes later, before the aircraft could depart the rebel army camp’s airspace, power was restored on the ground, and their presence was detected by radar.
Alarms blared, and searchlights and far-infrared lights converged on them. The aircraft’s stealth capability was instantaneously compromised.
Numerous patrol units boarded smaller aircraft within the camp, preparing to give chase.
“Stay put! I couldn’t care less about you,” Nana declared as she accelerated the aircraft, propelling it forward with great speed.
Simultaneously, Nana activated a small cruise bomb, dropping it onto the camp’s ground below.
With a deafening explosion, a gaping hole was blasted into the earth, injuring several nearby individuals.
“What are you doing?” Liao Ning rushed over, attempting to wrest control of the aircraft from Nana, but Nana forcefully shook her off.
“I don’t have time to explain now. If you want to survive and reunite with your nephew, you better stay put,” Nana snapped.
“Restrain her.” Upon Nana’s command, the handcuffs attached to the aircraft seat automatically unlocked and ensnared Liao Ning, securing her to the chair.
Nana then hurled two bombs towards the pursuing aircraft, successfully hitting their targets.
“Woohoo! That was exhilarating!” Nana’s voice brimmed with excitement. “I’ve had enough of them this year. Always preaching about equality in everything.
I’ll show them the cost of equality!”
In that moment, a ferocious and sated expression appeared on her face.
Thanks to Nana’s bombs, the pursuing patrol team ceased their chase. The aircraft continued its journey towards the Empire, swiftly arriving at the Planet Empire.
As they approached the city gate, Nana’s aircraft was immediately recognized and allowed passage without any hindrance. They only touched down upon reaching the royal castle.
Awaiting their arrival, the king and Loya stood at the landing site. The king’s smile widened as he caught sight of Liao Ning disembarking from the plane.
“Just as I expected from Earl Sam’s daughter, Sami. Welcome back,” the king greeted, extending his hand in a welcoming gesture. Meanwhile, Nana bowed respectfully.
“My dear king, it is my duty to serve the empire,” Nana said.
Turning to Liao Ning, Nana introduced herself, her voice carrying a hint of menace. “I forgot to properly introduce myself. I am Earl Sam’s daughter. My true name is Sami.”
She leaned closer to Liao Ning, tilting her body slightly. “And let me make one thing clear: I despise mermaids above all else. Their stench disgusts me. What can mermaids do without you?”
Reflecting on how Nana, or rather Sami, had previously assisted the mermaids with distributing the antidote in the laboratory with great enthusiasm and a warm smile, Liao Ning couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment. People were truly fickle and unpredictable.
With a smile on his face, the king addressed Sami, “Sami, you have made significant contributions to the empire. I am willing to grant your requests.”
“In that case, let’s resume the mermaid operation,” Sami responded, a smile playing on her lips. “Please arrange for a few more young mermaids to be prepared for me. After seeing Her Highness’s video, I felt inspired and desired to conduct some experiments on them..”
