Esper X Family – Chapter 639 – About to Be Settled by Ye Ge

After verification, Silver Frost and Black Haze officially confirmed that they had completely lost contact with the fleet. All means of communication had failed, and it was absolutely terrifying!

Silver Frost had never imagined that an expeditionary fleet capable of destroying any civilization could meet with mishap.

With its combat power, not to mention one interstellar overlord, even three stacked together could be carved through.

The only thing Silver Frost could think of that might cause the fleet to vanish into silence without a trace was the source of calamity deduced by the Evolutionary Divine Machine.

And within the solar system, the most suspicious person was undoubtedly the missing Ye Ge!

Perhaps only she could have confronted the expeditionary fleet head-on.

“Could it be… that Ye Ge has already discovered the fleet’s existence and even annihilated it in one strike?”

A terrifying thought surfaced in Silver Frost’s mind.

This was undoubtedly a catastrophe!

For now, she could only hope that the communication channels were being interfered with by unknown factors. Otherwise, Silver Frost would truly be driven to despair.

Just then, Black Haze found Silver Frost again.

“The expeditionary force’s fate is unknown. Are you still going to keep observing?”

Silver Frost said firmly, “Why not? I believe that this is just an accident. Perhaps the fleet will be able to re-establish contact with us soon.”

“Couldn’t it be that they’ve already been completely wiped out?”

Black Haze’s face showed little unease, as if the fleet’s loss of contact was a trivial matter to her.

“H-How can you say something so inauspicious? The Commander and the others will be fine! Even if you and I don’t see eye to eye, you don’t have to say such things just to upset me!”

Silver Frost glared at Black Haze, disliking her pessimistic attitude.

At this point, the two of them were grasshoppers tied to the same rope. Even if their relationship was strained, with minor conflicts between them, they could only huddle together for warmth.

“I actually feel quite relieved, like I’ve briefly slipped free from someone’s control.”

Black Haze paid no heed to Silver Frost’s visible emotions, nor did she offer any comfort.

“The expeditionary fleet won’t be destroyed so easily. Instead of worrying about that, you’d better think about how to handle what comes next.”

Black Haze looked utterly certain of her judgment.

Compared to Silver Frost, she had another way to confirm the situation.

For instance, Deputy Commander Gray Marsh had established some kind of extreme connection with all of his trusted subordinates. If the Deputy Commander suddenly died, his men would die too.

It was through this that Black Haze had confirmed Gray Marsh was still alive.

Moreover, this method involved causal fate and wouldn’t be severed so easily.

The tasks that had to be carried out still had to be carried out.

Otherwise, there would be a purge.

And White Comet’s confidants seemed to be exempt from such measures.

Even if the Commander died, her people would remain safe.

Silver Frost naturally had no idea about this.

“What comes next?” Silver Frost clearly hadn’t caught on yet.

“Mm.” Black Haze nodded. “Since the fleet’s accident is premised on it having been discovered, then do you think the one who caused this situation might also discover us, the Observers who have infiltrated Blue Star?”

At these words, Silver Frost’s body stiffened. It was clear that she had just pictured that soul-rattling scene.

At that point, would it still be too late to show her belly and apologize?

“Then… would it be Ye Ge?”

Silver Frost asked cautiously.

“Don’t ask me. Go find out for yourself. I have things to do. Goodbye.”

Black Haze had no intention of wasting time here.

Since she had confirmed that the fleet hadn’t been completely wiped out, she still had to carry out her assigned tasks.

Even if a part of Black Haze’s subconscious didn’t want to.

But a debt of gratitude was still a debt of gratitude. She had always relied on that drive to help Gray Marsh with his work.

Perhaps only by returning this life to the Deputy Commander could both sides be truly even.

Silver Frost watched Black Haze’s receding back and felt that the woman wore a look of utter resolve, as if she had thrown caution to the wind.

She wasn’t stupid either. She quickly realized that Black Haze was likely about to make a major move.

Undoubtedly, it would be something that violated the principles of the Watcher Civilization.

Most certainly a private order from Deputy Commander Gray Marsh!

“I have to keep a close eye on her!”

Whatever Black Haze was about to do, Silver Frost was determined not to let her succeed.

Seeing that Black Haze seemed about to return to the painting world, Silver Frost decided to become a shadow and follow her.

White Comet had actually given her a mission too, to keep an eye on Gray Marsh’s people and stop them from doing anything that would harm the Watcher Civilization’s interests.

That was also why Silver Frost had been clashing with Black Haze so much lately.

But just as she was about to follow, a figure suddenly blocked her path, silently and without warning.

Silver Frost ran straight into her, nearly stumbling and falling to the ground.

“Gwuh!”

Who?!

How could anyone nearly knock over a hidden S-rank powerhouse like her?

And when had this person appeared?

Rеaԁ оn КаtRеaԁiոɡСαfе

There hadn’t been a single soul in her field of vision just a moment ago!

It was as if she had suddenly materialized right in Silver Frost’s path!

When Silver Frost steadied herself and looked clearly at the person before her, she further confirmed the newcomer’s identity.

She was a mature black-haired woman. Tall and elegant, even Silver Frost’s head only reached her chest.

Looking up, her molten-gold eyes revealed a faint divinity, like the impersonal consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, as if all life were equal in her gaze.

More crucially, her face bore a striking seventy-percent resemblance to Ye Yao’s, only more fully developed, like a flower in its prime and closer to perfection.

If Ye Yao was just a budding beauty, then this black-haired woman before her was a true beauty in full bloom!

Silver Frost recognized her identity, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

“Ye Ge…”

Scared to tears!

Silver Frost never imagined that Ye Ge would appear at this moment to block her way.

Not in a natural meeting.

But in this forceful, abrupt manner.

It felt like a reckoning, not a trace of friendliness could be sensed.

Silver Frost’s pressure instantly peaked!

At that moment, her life truly flashed before her eyes.

Many things connected.

Why had the fleet suddenly lost contact?

Why had Ye Ge appeared now?

Reαd оո KаtRеаⅾіոɡCаfе

And why had she sought out a girl whose cover identity was merely “a village girl”?

There was no doubt that she had been discovered.

Silver Frost’s hidden identity was exposed!

There was no need to think deeply.

Ye Ge had discovered the fleet hidden in space, further displayed her divine power to sever the communication channels, and afterward discovered the Observers who had infiltrated Bluestar. That must be why she had suddenly come looking.

For a sneaky alien female spy like her, who had even come close to Ye Yao, only one outcome was likely:

A thorough reckoning!

Not just her. Perhaps Black Haze and all the other Observers would be rooted out and dealt with one by one!

Looking into Ye Ge’s eyes, which seemed to see through everything, Silver Frost had no desire to make excuses, much less to resist.

【Silver Frost believes that her deception of Ye Yao has been exposed. Since she is also in a position of needing to eliminate threats, and is highly likely to become an enemy of Ye Ge, she is overcome with utter despair.】

“…Please… don’t tell Ye Yao. Just dispose of me quietly…”

Silver Frost shut her eyes nervously, apparently having long been prepared to die in battle the moment she set out on this mission.

“I’ll grant your request.”

The moment the girl closed her eyes, she happened to miss a puzzling sight.

Ye Ge’s lips curled upward slightly, as if she had just successfully pulled off a prank.
