Now, they had to continue and dismantle BrightState Enterprise!


    ...


    The group began organizing their information. Sterling pulled out his phone. "Everyone, take a look at this."


    The others gathered around, and the first item was about BrightState Enterprise.


    "ording to the report, Mica is about to use all of his assets to participate in... Gorgeous Country''s... National Selection?"


    "Wait a minute." Avery rubbed his eyes. "Did I read that correctly? Mica is participating in... the National Selection?"


    Sterling nodded. "Remember the mission briefing? BrightState Enterprise has also sent representatives to this selection to interfere with Gorgeous Country''s internal structure and gain more favorable interests for themselves. Mica is clearly going against them. Also, look at this."


    Sterling pulled up another report.


    "Former board members of BrightState Enterprise were once top-level targets of regtion in Yerusia!" Sterling continued, "This was also revealed by Mica. The article has already spread in Gorgeous Country, and BrightState Enterprise''s approval rating has dropped significantly."


    "Yerusia... Yerusia... Wait! I remember now!" Mallory eximed as she read the article.


    "Helio told mest night that Mica''s bodyguard is a hero who once saved Yerusia. I think his name is Sven."


    Sterling nodded. "That exins the origins of these articles. I suspect this is one of Mica''s trump cards. Since it''s confirmed that Mica isn''t currently a threat, we should continue our investigation. Also... Avery, I have a favor to ask."


    "What is it?"


    "Try to find an opportunity to use your abilities tomorrow to see if you can get in touch with Mica. Can you do it?"


    Avery knew what Sterling was thinking and answered, "Got it. We should form an alliance, at least for now. We can also provide Mica with intelligence to lower BrightState


    Enterprise''s approve OV


    With that, the group bade each other farewell. With the two who had disappeared, they were now even more determined to dismantle BrightState Enterprise.


    The Shadow World was pitch-ck, and Dahlia had no idea how long she had


    been walking. There was nothing here, only endless darkness.


    Suddenly, a door appeared ahead. She recognized it as the door to her room. She walked toward it. When she opened it, a white light appeared.


    In the blink of an eye, she found herself in a very familiar room. She instinctively looked down.


    The ground beneath her was


    actually a void. Nestled within the void, an eye was staring at her. Dahlia was so frightened that she took several steps back, but then, the eye moved right in front of her while still being enveloped by the Void.


    Dahlia tried to use her power but realized true energy was useless in the space; she could not even


    mobilize it. Just as the monster lunged at her, Helio kicked the


    creature away. He then pulled Dahlia up.


    "Are you okay, Dahlia?"


    "Helio... How did you get here? And what''s going on with the energy inside you?" Dahlia looked at Helio, who was able to use true energy, with disbelief.


    "It''s my ability. I used Rat to open a portal, so I''m not affected by this space."


    "Oh, so that''s it." Dahlia''s expression suddenly turned vicious, and with a single palm strike, she ruptured Helio''s internal organs.


    Helio''s head snapped toward Dahlia as she burst into uncontrobleughter. "You really are easy to deceive!"
