Doomsday Code

Chapter 1004 Poaching

This journey was quite arduous, involving not only enduring wind and rain but also navigating through an encirclement formed by the armies of Rusov and the Kingdom of Feld, which resembled a sandwich.

At its closest, it was less than ten miles from the army camp, which really felt like walking a tightrope.

Only after crossing the border where the Kingdom of Feld had begun to reinforce its troops, and arriving outside the border town of Navatu in the Kingdom of Mos, could Chen Cheng and his group finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The group did not enter the city directly in front of the people, but instead found a place in the Monster Mountain Range outside the city that had previously been the lair of a beast king and set up camp there.

As for the original Beast King, his head was cut off, and his essence and magic crystal were taken and refined into a treasure to protect his territory.

"Your Majesty and all of you, please rest here for now. I will go and contact the people of the Kingdom of Moss to have them come and meet you."

Dean reported to Chen Cheng, and then left the place. After disguising himself, he took the identity token given to him by Huidun and left the mountain range.

After entering the city, he went straight to the Navatu College, which was on winter break and only had a few teachers staying on campus.

Mocha is one of them.

Knock, knock, knock. Dean knocked on Mocha’s office door, but it was his student and chemistry teaching assistant, Bonava, who opened the door.

Bonava thought Mocha had forgotten her keys, but when he opened the door and saw Dean, his heart skipped a beat, though he looked bewildered and said:

"Who are you? Are you looking for Teacher Mocha? He hasn't come to the office today."

Dean hadn't expected Bonawa to be there. He'd initially thought that since Mocha wasn't there, it was fine, but then he reconsidered and replied with a smile:

"No, my father isn't feeling well. I heard that Professor Mocha knows some chemistry and can supposedly concoct medicines to treat difficult and complicated diseases, so I wanted to come here to buy medicine."

This is the code point through which Dean and Mocha met. If Bonava knew this, he should invite him in and have a seat, and then he should ask the questions first.

Dean was also thinking of testing Bonava to see if this little guy was as good as Mocha had been bragging about in front of him.

Don't turn into a coward when you actually encounter a situation.

Bonawa was Mocha's disciple, and he was personally taught by Mocha. Of course, Mocha would tell his disciple some things.

For example, the cut Dean mentioned was actually a response he had to make in an emergency when Mocha wasn't around.

"Since the old gentleman is not feeling well, please come in. I happen to know how to prepare this medicine; would you like to try mine?"

This is the code that Bonawa learned and made up on the spot.

Getting him in meant he was right up his alley.

However, at this point, there was still no trust between the two sides, so his next words were to test Dean and see if Dean, this desperate intelligence agent, was willing to take a gamble and trust him.

If Dean doesn't respond, Bonava won't act on his own again, because it means that the other party isn't really in a desperate situation, or that the information they're dealing with is too confidential and absolutely cannot be compromised.

Regardless of the situation, he knew it wasn't something he should get involved in.

This is not only for self-preservation, but also a responsibility to others.

Dean hadn't expected Bonawa to come up with this explanation so quickly, and he certainly understood what Bonawa meant.

After Dean sat down, he sighed and said:

"Your quick wit and ability to make decisions on the spot are truly wasted under Mocha's command. Why don't you come work for me?"

Dean truly valued Bonawa, believing he possessed genuine talent as a general and even a leader.

In his view, it was a real waste of talent for someone like that not to join the army and become a general, but instead to engage in espionage with Mocha.

Although Bonawa's face remained calm, his inner state was always tense.

Upon hearing Dean's words, he had no time to think about what he could do by following Dean; instead, he knew that Dean trusted him.

He then thought of the training he had received during his training, and began to make plans and plan routes in his mind, while also preparing to ask him about serious matters.

However, at that moment, the office door was opened again.

This startled Bonava, who turned to look at the doorway. At the same time, his left hand, which he had been keeping warm inside his sleeve, gripped a thin needle coated with deadly cyanide.

They were just waiting for the person who opened the door to appear, and if they found something was wrong, they would kill them.

At this moment, Mocha, who had just opened the door, began to curse:

"What are you saying? Trying to steal my girlfriend? I'm telling you, no way."

Upon hearing that it was his own master speaking, Bonawa breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Mocha, who had just entered the house and closed the door, pointed at Bonawa and scolded him:

"Killing intent, killing intent! I've told you so many times, why can't you get rid of this habit?"

"We are assassins, ghosts of the night. Even if we see our own parents being tortured and humiliated, we can only treat it as a normal thing. We must suppress all our emotions and only think about the mission objective."

Bonawa flicked his wrist, putting away the fine needle in his hand, and then bowed his head to Mocha to admit his mistake.

At this moment, Dean stood up, patted Bonava on the shoulder, and said:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. We men are all about getting our revenge quickly and decisively. How can we become like him, turning ourselves into a cowardly turtle who likes to hide?"

"Alright then, come join my army. My army needs people like you. You can not only utilize your abilities, but you also won't have to learn his twisted logic."

Dean has really fallen for Bonawa, so much so that he's forgotten about Chen Cheng and the others in his efforts to poach her.

Mocha was afraid Dean would talk too much, and then Bonawa, in a fit of youthful rage, would think about things like fighting on the battlefield and serving his country, and then leave with him. In that case, Mocha would be devastated.

"Alright, stop spouting nonsense. Don't forget why you came here."

Upon hearing Mocha's words, Dean remembered his important business and glanced at Bonava.

Bonawa knew that classified information was involved, and now that Mocha was present, he should leave.

However, at this moment Mocha called out to him:

"Why are you leaving? Since you've already practiced the cut with him, this time I'll let you do it. Don't say I just taught you to talk the talk but don't walk the walk."

However, Dean, who had been trying to poach him, refused outright:

“This matter involves top secret, and your team leader, Mondy, didn’t tell me that he had this authority.”
