However, the next sentence Aker said was not in the set the whereabouts of Rena and Reno

"Before this, I didn't understand why Puppeteer is so obsessed with them Now, I finally understand It's probably because of the relationship between you and those two kids When they returned to our base at Red Nautilus, they kept bugging uest Since it was not a big deal, and I was pretty occupied dealing with the aht my permission would be the one-way-ticket to send them directly to Puppeteer From what I heard from my subordinates, Puppeteer personally went to kidnap them"

Lin Sanjiu let out a heavy breath as her expression turned severe

She had lost the only lead to Rena and Reno It seeet them back directly fro Puppeteer What made her fear the most was that Rena and Reno had been off the radar for such a long time, what if Puppeteer had lost his patience and turned both of thehts, Aker measured her meticulously

After a short while, he cleared his throat As Lin Sanjiu lifted her head, he quickly flashed her a smile, "Miss Lin, I think you should shift some of your attention away from those two kids to yourself The kids pose no threat to Puppeteer, and I' While for you, your case is kind of complicated"

"Oh?" Lin Sanjiu raised her brows, "What makes you say so?"

"Because tomorrow is the 26th," Aker spoke as soft as he could, "Miss Livia has told otten?"

Lin Sanjiu was stunned She had forgotten the thing Santa Claus had said!

Before entering the amusement park, Santa Claus told them to return to him on the 26th to receive their present, which was their own life After she met Hei Zeji, she had placed all herher combat skill She did not realize that the date had al me, I—"

Before Lin Sanjiu could finish her words, Aker, with downcast eyes and shaking head, chipped in, "Please calht it up because I want to tell you so"

Froht in the Progressor Alliance When he talked, aside from Livia, the other three Growth type Posthumans just remained silent beside him, "This is the first time you and Miss Livia have been to the Twelve World Centrus that happen here Even though Santa Claus has gone off the radar for quite a long time, I've heard about his ability Anyway, no o to see him tomorrow

"The order that you all must return to him by the 26th to claim your lives is all a ruse, a smokescreen to cover up the Achilles heel of his ability From what I know, his ability, [Make a Wish] can only last for a few days I guess that on the 26th, his ability will lose its effect He has to recast his ability on you all; so he told you all to return to him on the 26th to claim your prize so that he could reapply his ability Hence, Miss Lin, if you don't go meet him tomorrow, and you'll be free froht red After he finished talking in one go, a few freckles on his cheekbones becahtly red

Every evolved ability had flaws in a way Even a powerful entity like Santa Claus could not escape getting restricted by this commandment There was indeed so while, Lin Sanjiu's voice that was bereft of any te me to risk my life for somebody that I first time meet?"

"Yes, I understand it is hard for you to trust hed, "It's fine if you don't believe me The worst case is that Santa Claus casts his ability on you again, and you only have to endure it for a few more days However, please bear in your mind that everytime Santa Claus casts his ability, he can request you to do one thing for hiain, I'm not sure what he will ask you to do this time This is why I said your case is complicated"

Lin Sanjiu bit her lower lip because she lost her direction She had no idea who she should believe: Aker of the Progressor Alliance who looked quite dependable or that weird-acting Santa Claus as the very epitome of fear Suddenly, a question came out from her mind

She took a deep breath, chased away all the problems in her mind and stared at Aker, "Tell me your intent What do you want from me?"

She wasn't dunored Lin Sanjiu when he got her coordinates because Puppeteer only wanted them to clear the Starry Carnival Aet the reward for him Besides, Puppeteer did not know she was in this pocket di noas pointless Since he caave her such valuable intel, Lin Sanjiu knew very well that he had his own motive

Aker was unsurprised He seemed to foresee Lin Sanjiu would throw at hi from you… Actually, I have a plan that could kill two birds with one stone Both of us would benefit if we succeed; however, I need your cooperation, Miss Lin"

"Go on"

"Fro to cause soo with the flow and offer him an opportunity to meet Puppeteer?" Aker had done his homeell before he came to Lin Sanjiu Lin Sanjiu was amazed by hoell he understood the whole story, "If Santa Claus does not see you all toy This is because, after the 26th, he won't be able to control you all anyiven you a snet in her pocket and nodded hesitantly

" Seeressor Alliance a lot She told thereen Santa hat h I don't knohat thisdevice that can bring Santa Claus to you as long as you carry this itenet to Lin Sanjiu and slowly told Lin Sanjiu his plan, "With this, he can enter this park whenever he wants, so e have to do now is find a location and hide the net there Then, ill lure Puppeteer to that location by giving him some false news… When Santa Claus co Lin Sanjiu a confident sesture to her, "No ht, ill be the ones there to pick up the pieces What is your opinion of this plan, Miss Lin?"
