Without further ado, Lin Feng walked towards the handover point.
Upon arrival, he saw Wanda and Susan gesticulating wildly at a female staff member.
The staff member, clearly startled, looked bewildered and kept trying to comfort the two.
“Lin Feng!”
Seeing Lin Feng approach, Susan grabbed his arm with visible force.
“Jilly and Martina are gone!”
Her fair face was etched with anxiety.
“Uh, I know, I know!” Lin Feng reassured her.
“Why aren’t you worried at all?” Susan stamped her foot in frustration.
Beside her, Wanda was filled with guilt, looking on the verge of tears.
Lin Feng sighed inwardly, thinking, *Why should I be worried? Those two are human-shaped walking weapons of mass destruction.*
“Calm down, Susan, just calm down.”
“How can I calm down?!” Susan’s voice grew shrill.
“Think of a solution quickly!”
“And what was with those two staff members just now!”
“Your store’s staff!”
Susan quickly turned her ire back to the staff member.
The female staff member looked like she was about to cry from Susan’s aggressive questioning.
These guests had spent millions of credit points on purchases; she could tell they were not people she could afford to offend.
Now, their children were abducted from the store, and her shock was no less than Susan’s!
“Esteemed… guests.” The female staff member wore a mournful expression.
“Those must have been impostors. Our staff would never do something like that!”
“Please rest assured, the surveillance footage will be here shortly. Please wait patiently!”
Susan stamped her foot.
“I can’t wait, let’s call the police!”
“Right, Lin Feng, do they have an alien police station here?”
Lin Feng found himself torn between laughter and tears. *Call the police? Did you forget what I do?*
*With me here, why would you need to find aliens?*
“Uh, Susan…”
“I think I can resolve this matter…”
“And Jilly and Martina aren't as fragile as you think.”
“Do you remember how they came into being?”
Lin Feng had explained some things about the two girls, but it seemed Susan had forgotten?
Susan paused at his words, her head bowed in thought.
Right, it was true… neither of those little terrors was normal.
But she couldn’t help but worry!
This was a case of Susan’s concern clouding her judgment.
Her mind consumed with comforting the two mischievous children, she had subconsciously forgotten what Lin Feng had told her before.
“Don't worry, Susan. You know I have X-ray vision. They’re fine.”
“Oh, right! I almost forgot you’re Superman!”
Lin Feng chuckled. “See? This is what happens when you worry too much.”
“Who could possibly harm them under the watchful eyes of the mighty Superman? They wouldn’t even have a chance!”
Susan nodded vigorously, then slapped Lin Feng’s arm.
“Then what are you waiting for? Go find them!”
*Ouch…* Lin Feng rubbed his arm.
*I’m Superman, why does a slap hurt so much?*
“Alright, alright, I’ll go find them now. Don’t worry, there’s no danger…”
No, far from no danger, they were probably having a grand time…
Lin Jilly and Martina were indeed having a grand time.
As soon as they got into the car, Lin Jilly sat with her legs crossed like a little boss.
“Shorty, where’s my dad?”
Shorty, sitting in the passenger seat, had a pointed mouth and a sallow complexion as he drove.
“Your dad?”
“Hold on a sec. Your dad went back to the hotel. I’ll take you to see him right now!”
Beneath the brim of Shorty’s lowered cap was a sinister grin.
*Where’s your dad? You’ll be calling me dad soon enough!*
“Alright, drive faster. I’m tired and need to rest quickly!”
Lin Jilly scratched her shoulder with her small hand.
Perched there were two black cats, shrunk to the size of ants.
Shorty let out a cold laugh and gestured to the one with the pointed mouth and sallow complexion, accelerating the car.
*They can’t wait to be kidnapped!*
The vehicle sped along, heading directly towards the no-man’s-land.
Karniel Transit Star had some desolate areas with useless, but constantly radiating, ores.
Humans couldn’t stay there for long, so it was usually deserted.
Of course, except for some desperate criminals.
After a few minutes of detours, the vehicle pulled up behind a hillside.
There stood an abandoned warehouse.
“Boss! We’ve got a big score!”
The vehicle drove straight into the derelict warehouse, and the one with the pointed mouth and sallow complexion immediately shouted.
Inside sat several hulking alien figures.
They clutched weapons, their bare arms covered in tattoos with unclear meanings.
Seeing the vehicle arrive, they immediately stood up.
A burly man with a large scar on his arm stepped forward.
Shorty got out of the car and opened the rear door.
“Get out!”
His ferocious smile could scare children into stopping their crying.
Lin Jilly and Martina swaggered out, showing no signs of panic.
Shorty paid them no mind, assuming they were just children who hadn’t grasped the situation.
*They look like hothouse flowers.*
“What’s going on?” The scar-faced Boss’s sharp gaze swept over the two, and he asked Shorty.
“Boss! It’s a big score!”
Before Shorty could speak, the one with the pointed mouth and sallow complexion rushed over.
He was the one who proposed the kidnapping, and now was his chance to claim credit, so he definitely couldn’t let Shorty speak!
Immediately, the one with the pointed mouth and sallow complexion sidled up to the scar-faced man and animatedly recounted the events.
The scar-faced Boss listened, stunned.
The story inevitably involved embellishments, detailing how arduous it had been to abduct these two.
The more the one with the pointed mouth and sallow complexion spoke, the more excited he became, completely oblivious to his Boss’s darkening expression.
“You’re saying these two have over ten million credit points in their terminals?” the scar-faced man interrupted.
“Yes, Boss!”
“To equip children with such terminals, they must be from super-rich families!”
“If this job goes well, we won’t have to work for years!”
“What the fu–”
“Boss, I… did I do something wrong…?”
“You damn idiot, did you do something wrong?!”
“You’re trying to get me killed!” the scar-faced man stammered, pointing at the one with the pointed mouth and sallow complexion, his blood pressure soaring as if he were about to vomit.
“Me? How could I possibly get you killed, Boss!” The one with the pointed mouth and sallow complexion still hadn’t grasped the situation and had no idea why his Boss was erupting in anger.
However, this didn’t stop him from kneeling properly and remaining completely still.
