Today was the third, so the day after tomorrow was the fifth. Nash closed the invitation, his expression shifting between cloudy and clear. Had Tatiana not said that with the Thousand Illusion Array Disc, she would not need to honor that marriage agreement? Could the Thoran family be pressuring the Cricton family? Why would the Cricton family fear the Thoran family when they had the Divine Strategy Squadron and the Northern Territory as part of their background? Doubts filled Nash''s mind as his heart was thrown into turmoil.
"Commander, will we go?" Lumi asked with sparkling eyes. She was unaware of his rtionship with Tatiana. She just wanted to seize the opportunity to go out and have fun with hermander.
"We''ll go," Nash replied expressionlessly. "Bertram, Regulus, and I will attend the wedding the day after tomorrow."
Lumi''s face fell as she asked pitifully, "Can my sister and Ie along?"
"If you want toe, thene," he replied indifferently. With that, he turned and left, leaving everyone else looking at each other in confusion.
"What''s up with themander?" Angelic wondered out loud.
"Could he be involved with the Crictons'' daughter?" Wendy guessed.
...
At the Divine Strategy Squadron base in Capiton, all the high-ranking officials had received wedding invitations from the Cricton and Thoran families. They all congratted Das, who responded with a forced smile.
It should have been a joyous asion, but Das could not bring himself to feel happy. After all, Tatiana was his granddaughter, and he wished for her to marry for love. However, it seemed like she was not fond of thed from the Thorans. Rosarch Cricton was a stubborn man set in his ways, making it difficult for any decision to be changed once made. Concerned about Tatiana being ''stolen'' by outsiders, he even insisted on moving the wedding date forward.
The search for the Thousand Illusion Array Disc was meant to allow Tatiana to refuse to marry into the Thoran family. Against all odds, she actually found it.
Now, Rosarch imed that the disc and the Thorans'' Thousand Image Array Bead were integral to one another. They would form a true divine artifact whenbined. To co-own this artifact, Tatiana had to marry into the Thoran family.
Das sighed deeply. After
exchanging a few words with his colleagues, he headed to the airport. With Tatiana''s wedding scheduled for the day after tomorrow, he had taken three days off to prepare. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Shortly after Das left, a soldier in camouge hurried into the office, eximing, "It''s terrible, the Celestial Dragon Squadron base has disappeared!" "What are you talking about?"
The other officials thought they had misheard. The Celestial Dragon Squadron base had vanished? Was this some joke?
"It''s true. None of the satellites are picking up traces of the base in Dragonhid Mountain!" the soldier in camouge stated resolutely.
The senior officials hurried to the satellite monitoring room. The satellite images showed the mountain, but there was no sign of the base.
"Holy crap... How could such a huge base just disappear?"
"Could it be a problem with their ''nuclear express''? Could that have blown up the base?"
"I think it might be some sort of special power. They have that girl with maic abilities, right? Maybe she altered the maic field of the base and blocked satellite imaging, a middle-aged man with a gleam of intelligence in his eyes asserted confidently.
"That''s a possibility, but we should still report this to themander!"
Upon receiving the message from the base, Anton immediately rushed to Dragonhid Mountain to verify the situation. Indeed, the Celestial Dragon Squadron base was
nowhere to be found.
He descended a little closer to the ground but still could not see the base. Just as he was about to use his psychic powers to investigate further...
Hundreds of terrifying rockets, ice arrows, thunderbolts, gravity waves, and poison fog suddenly swept through the area.
"Damn it," he cursed as he transformed into a streak of light and flew off into the distance.
