Chapter 566 Playing Cat and Mouse (1)

?"Sir Keegan, we got something on the missing ship no.8!" An elf suddenly came running into the captain's room, where the burly giant was sitting cross-legged while a violent violet aura was swirling around his body.

He opened his sharp, turbid eyes and commanded, "Continue."

The elf quickly reported, "The special signal from the missing ship surfaced all of a sudden a few moments ago, and then the teleportation point no.103 was soon activated before the ship's special signal vanished again!"

"What?" Keegan was startled, "How is it possible? Even if the assaulter managed to grab the ship and somehow managed to jam the signal, how did they know about the location of the hidden teleportation points? Unless those two reveal their locations and even give away the starting sequence." He frowned deeply.

"But that's impossible!" The elf exclaimed, "We all pledge our loyalty to the Night! It is impossible to reveal anything about the federation. If anyone has such preposterous, they will die before even uttering a signal word. Furthermore, when a guardian dies, their star watches will automatically refresh. Even the star hackers can't do anything about this function!"

'Is this a coincidence? No, the implication of this matter is not something I can afford. If the higher-ups found that I didn't report such a bizarre incident and forgot about promotion, I might even lose my current rank. My life is more important than some treasure...'

Keegan gritted his teeth before commanding, "Redirect all of our ships to the teleportation point no.103. We are going after them with everything we have and keep an eye out for such a matter. If it happened again report it to me."

"Noted!" The elf hastily left.

Keegan wrist lit up, and soon, a wizened face blue skin lifeform appeared; on his forehead was a purple crescent moon mark, and his eyes beady eyes were icy cold.

"Paying respect to Purple Guardian Reginald." Keegan respectfully greeted.

"Since you disturb me, you better have a damn good excuse." Reginald coldly uttered.

"There is no mistake, sir. It seemed this Captain Free Sword had some strange means to acquire information on our secrets. I'm afraid it won't be easy to capture him. I'm currently headed in his direction, but I need reinforcement."

Reginald nodded, "He is indeed a tricky rat to deal with. But whatever the case is, we must catch him. Try to pin down his location while I'll report this to the Federation Master. It'll also take some time to turn down the teleportation channels.

"But don't worry too much; this time, the purple guardians will move; all you need to do is to find him and keep an eye on him. There is no need to tackle him. If you did your job well, you'll be the next purple guardian in the next selection! Now, I'm going to find the Federation Master and report everything related to this as soon as you get something!"

He quickly turned off the call as Reginald was in a hurry to report this finding. This matter was simply too big and important for them.

Keegan sighed before his eyes shimmered viciously, "Captain Free Sword, so what if I don't get to take you down personally? You can't escape from us now!"

At this moment, an ethereal white circle filled with complex runes shimmered on the water's calm surface.

The next moment, a ship with a moon symbol appeared in the vast ocean before the white circle vanished. Thereafter, another large ship appeared right beside it, and a few figures quickly jumped on the large one before the other ship vanished without a trace.

"Won't this draw the attention of the guardians even quicker?" Zoe couldn't help but frown as she questioned Jacob.

Jacob replied, "It might be a little dangerous, but we just covered 50,000 miles of distance within a second. The longer we stay within these waters, the more danger we'll be in. Since the Zodiac Night Federation had set their eyes on us, it didn't matter if they knew where we were as long as we remained a step ahead of them.

"As long as we are careful, it won't be easy to find us. I'm planning on using these teleportation points until they stop them. This way, they also won't be able to use them to send more people after us.

"Even if they prepare an ambush, let me worry about dealing with them. You just have to follow my lead!"

He declared coldly before he began to steer the ship toward the next teleportation point.

Jacob's eyes shimmered viciously, 'Let' see how quick they react!'
