Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"Baxter, return to the 'Five Desires' world immediately; we need to discuss our strategy."

Mo Ga Ru drank a mouthful of Catastrophe Source Liquid, and the font on his head grew bigger and bolder, showing that he was "loudly" speaking.

Sure thing.

You guys are playing so slick.

"Yes, Lord!"

Shen Ye put away his knife and reluctantly took out the Catastrophe Source Liquid, taking a sip.

By that time, Mo Ga Ru had already teleported back.

As soon as Shen Ye saw him leave, he immediately took out the Death Camouflage Cloak and changed back into his vampire disguise.

—After all, the 'Five Desires' side had always believed that he was a vampire impersonating a human, not the other way around.

He couldn't let him see the cape.

The next second.

He disappeared from where he stood and reappeared directly in the palace of the Five Desires world.

The Professionals coming and going saw him return and immediately paid their respects, addressing him with reverence:

"Lord Baxter!"

"Hmm," Shen Ye responded.

He quickly sensed two extremely powerful Strength fluctuations emanating from the conference hall nearby.

Shen Ye hastened his steps and quickly made his way to the great hall.

Inside, he saw Mo Ga Ru and Charlotte, with a Professional kneeling on one knee, reporting the situation.

Both of them glanced at Shen Ye as a form of greeting when they saw him arrive.

Mo Ga Ru gave him a look and nodded his chin at the Professional opposite.

—Meaning you listen closely to the report, kid.

Charlotte glanced at him and quickly looked at Mo Ga Ru, her expression carrying a faint hint of triumph.

—That held more implications.

Shen Ye pretended to know nothing and stood there, silently listening to the Professional report.

It was just about the Death Planet moving swiftly.

In an attempt to exhibit his capability, the Professional described from all angles how the various Professionals responded to the sudden movement of the Death Planet. He also explored and conjectured the potential consequences of the planet's transit.

After speaking at length for about fifteen minutes, he finally finished.

"Hmm, very detailed indeed,"

Mo Ga Ru said, satisfied.

"Uninteresting. What happens on that planet has nothing to do with us," Charlotte yawned.

"Lord Baxter always performs better than us. Might we ask him to share his thoughts?" suggested the kneeling Professional.

Mo Ga Ru chuckled: "You mobilized the entire Patrol Group and employed an ultra-large Technique for detection, observing all sorts of things about the Death Planet. That's enough."

Shen Ye nodded in agreement.

—You all mobilized so many people, covering even how the dogs barked in the street; I have nothing to add.

Sometimes, there's no need to show too much sharpness.

"But Lord Baxter wasn't really listening just now; he was playing with his phone," the Professional said.

Mo Ga Ru's smile vanished from his face.

Charlotte also looked up at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye was taken aback and looked incredulously at that Professional.

He was a long white-haired, impeccably dressed Professional who looked a bit like the reliable type of old butler.

Not far behind this old butler stood two rows of Professionals.

They too were kneeling on one knee.

—It seems like a team.

No, if you're scouting for information, why compete with me?

"A phone on the Death Planet? There's no signal, Baxter," Mo Ga Ru said.

"My lord, I was just playing some simple games," replied Shen Ye.

"Lord," said the white-haired old butler, "he was looking at pictures of girls. I think he should join our Patrol Group and learn some advanced skills, some manners, instead of being so casual."

"—It's for his own good!"

After hearing this, Mo Ga Ru again turned his gaze to Shen Ye.

Yeah.

That kid was in Tender Village last time!

Seeing Mo Ga Ru secretly glancing at his phone screen, Shen Ye helplessly turned off his school's chat group.

—What normal chat group doesn't have pictures of girls?

He then looked towards the old butler.

—Buddy, the leadership has already praised you, that's enough. Why drag me into it?

"Baxter, are you being that lax? Or are you saying they failed to find the crux?" Charlotte suddenly spoke up from the side.

Shen Ye sighed.

Mo Ga Ru appreciated the attitude of subordinates in their work and admired Shen Ye for his loyalty.

Charlotte was different.

She knew all the Baxters were one person.

She also knew his work style.

And that was—

"Lords, their investigation is terrible. I don't see why you keep such subordinates—after all, they've wasted so much time and resources and found absolutely nothing," Shen Ye said.

"Baxter, you must speak with evidence. Speaking carelessly like that, affecting our team's morale, Lord Mo Ga Ru won't ignore it," the white-haired butler said.

"Where is the planet moving to? Did you check that?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, ahead lies an asteroid sea, not of major significance, we can cross it," replied the white-haired butler.

"And after crossing it?" Shen Ye probed further.

"It's safe," the white-haired butler replied.

"Lord Mo Ga Ru, I hope they continue investigating," Shen Ye said.

"Why?" Mo Ga Ru asked.

"I believe that one should keep investigating until it is no longer possible," Shen Ye stated.

Mo Ga Ru was still hesitating, but Charlotte started to laugh.

"Let me handle it; tracking through the universe is something I am good at," she said.

She typed over her head while forming a Technique with both hands.

In the void.

A piece of the starry sky quietly emerged.

The Death Planet moved at an exceedingly slow pace.

"Speed up."

"Let me see its trajectory, directly display its orbit over the next twenty-five days..."
