Chapter 233 Chess Pieces
Ming Dynasty.
imperial capital.
SMRT SRIT (Smart Brain) Company Headquarters Building.
In the luxurious office on the top floor, the King of Orphnoch sat quietly at his enormous desk, his eyes closed, in a state of deep meditation.
The room was completely quiet, with only the soft ticking of the wall clock.
Suddenly, a crisp and rhythmic sound broke the silence.
It turned out that the high-definition monitor on the desk had lit up.
"Thump...thump thump!"
Upon hearing the sound, the King of Orphnoch slowly opened his eyes, his deep, pool-like eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light.
He first exhaled a deep breath, as if to release all the fatigue and pressure in his body;
Then, he leisurely reached out and gently tapped the answer button on the screen, instantly activating the video connection function.
The image flashed by, and the goat Orphnoch appeared on the screen.
"Your Majesty, I am very sorry to disturb your meditation. I have just received news that Chen Yexi's operation has failed and he is currently under the control of the Ming Dynasty's special forces."
"In addition, the other sixteen Orphnoch members who participated in this operation also suffered heavy losses, eleven of whom have turned to sand."
The King of Orphnoch showed neither surprise nor anger after hearing the report.
He simply nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of the matter.
"Okay, I understand. Go and retrieve the Faiz and Deita belts that Chen Yexi hid beforehand."
"As for the remaining Orphnochs, since the mission failed, they are of no value to the company. Let's just get rid of them!"
Upon hearing this, Orphnoch the goat immediately bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty's command is my command! I will carry it out immediately, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
After saying this, it bowed deeply to the screen again to show its respect.
After that, the King of Orphnoch said no more and hung up the video call.
Then, the King of Orphnoch slowly placed his long, strong fingers on the table and began to tap them rhythmically, producing a series of crisp sounds.
Each strike seemed to carry a thoughtful rhythm.
Time passed slowly, and the room remained silent except for the constant knocking.
moment.
The King of Orphnoch stopped what he was doing.
Immediately afterwards, he reached for another mobile phone placed to the side and dialed it.
"Your plan can now begin! Everything is ready on my side, and I am just waiting for your message."
After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone, leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms over his chest, and the somewhat hazy sky over the capital seemed to be brewing an impending storm!

Harbin.
Special operations base.
"Uh...tsk...!"
Chen Yexi let out a few painful and indistinct groans. The sudden, extremely bright light pierced his eyes like a sharp sword, jolting him awake from his unconsciousness.
He tried to move his body, but soon found that his limbs were as if they were firmly clamped by iron clamps, and he could not move them at all.
After a brief period of confusion and reflection, Chen Yexi's mind gradually cleared, and he realized his current situation.
Then, I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself down, and began to carefully observe my surroundings.
When he slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Zhu Shitao and Zhao Kai sitting not far from him.
The two men were staring intently at him.
Chen Yexi turned her head slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Nawa standing silently beside her like a statue.
However, even in such a predicament, Chen Yexi remained calm and composed.
He curled his lips into a slight, contemptuous sneer, then closed his eyes again without hesitation, seemingly unconcerned about what was happening before him.
Seeing Chen Yexi's reaction, Zhu Shitao's face grew even more gloomy.
He said coldly, "Chen Yexi, things have come to this point, I advise you not to waste everyone's time any longer."
"Just tell me everything you know about Deita and Faiz's belt locations, and maybe it'll make your departure easier later!"
However, Chen Yexi seemed not to hear Zhu Shitao's words, keeping her eyes closed and her face expressionless, showing no sign of speaking.
Seeing this, Zhao Kai, who was sitting to the side, gave Nawa a wink.
Seeing this, Nawa immediately clenched his fist, secretly gathering his strength, and then swung his fist hard at Chen Yexi's abdomen.
With a muffled "thud," the powerful punch landed squarely on Chen Yexi's abdomen.
The immense impact caused Chen Yexi's stomach to churn, and a mouthful of stomach acid gushed out uncontrollably.
"Cough...cough...cough cough!"
"Hmph, this is just a small lesson for you. You need to understand clearly now that in this interrogation room, no one cares about the life or death of an Orphnoch!" Zhao Kai's cold and stern voice echoed throughout the room.
"I have nothing to say! It's just that... from the moment you received the information that I was going to infiltrate, you were no different from me!"
"We're all just pawns in someone else's game, hahaha!" Chen Yexi suddenly burst into wild laughter, his laughter filled with self-mockery and sarcasm.
Seeing this, Nawat, who was standing to the side, frowned deeply.
He clenched his fists, gathering his strength, ready to deliver a heavy blow to the arrogant man before him.
Just then, the interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside.
As a dull thud was heard, everyone's eyes turned to the doorway.
"That's enough, let's stop here! Continuing the interrogation won't yield any valuable information."
"Start the cleanup process in three days!" Hong Tao said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and strode out of the interrogation room.
After hearing these words, Zhao Kai and the others exchanged glances and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then, Zhao Kai waved his hand, signaling the Leo cavalry to take Chen Yexi away from the interrogation room.
Watching Hong Tao's receding figure, Zhao Kai and the others exchanged glances before quickly following him and disappearing at the end of the corridor.
