Chapter 354: Chapter 193 True Genius_2

The escort ship, a Perry-class frigate that was preparing to launch another anti-aircraft missile attack at the Drone, was shocked. It couldn’t believe that the seemingly invincible destroyer had been sunk by a diminutive F-15 in such a short amount of time. When it saw the Drone once again dip its nose and submerge beneath the sea surface, it was instantly filled with terror, fearful that the Drone would stealthily approach from underwater and employ the same tactic against it. Since the Drone had sunk the destroyer, it could naturally dispose of an escort ship with ease. Therefore, the Perry-class frigate didn’t dare to remain stationary. While it deployed deepwater bombs, it fled at high speed towards the western sea.

After submerging once more, the Drone headed underwater towards a distant location. However, it wasn’t chasing the fleeing Perry-class frigate but was in fact escaping. After the arduous task of sinking the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the Drone had exhausted its missiles, leaving only aircraft cannon shells. These were insufficient to sink a Perry-class frigate. Thus, the frigate was completely unaware that the Drone’s dive wasn’t an offensive maneuver but a means to avoid it.

By this time, the Drone’s combat power had nearly vanished. But fortunately, this was the open sea. As long as the Drone hid at the ocean floor, no one could harm it. Under Yan Fei’s control, the Drone quickly traversed underwater and moved away from the recent battle site with the destroyer, hiding motionless in a deep ocean trench.

Aboard the search vessels on the Seine River, General Bolton and Robin, who had been closely monitoring the progress of this unprecedented air battle, displayed faces of disbelief. In their plan, designed to shoot down the mysterious fighter, they had pushed their imagination of the Drone’s combat power to the limits and formulated a corresponding battle plan. Yet they had still underestimated the fighter’s capabilities. The Drone’s display of new combat abilities caught them by surprise and resulted in their plans for the evening ending in abject failure. Not only did they fail to capture the Drone, but they had also paid a steep price.

Seeing the crestfallen expressions of Bolton and Robin, the other observers present couldn’t help but feel a touch of schadenfreude. After all, these two had withheld such critical intelligence from them. Among these people, only General Alain from France felt a bittersweet sentiment. Although he was sent to liaise with the US forces, he was completely uninformed about France’s joint military action with the US forces that night, indicating his unstable status within the French military and marginalization.

For these individuals, they had already heard more than enough bad news for the evening. But the bad news was not yet over, and it would not cease because of their aversion to it. More troubling reports were coming in from the Louvre Museum.

The special items General Bolton had stored in the Louvre Museum’s warehouse had been missing, with other priceless treasures also vanishing without a trace. Under immense pressure to retrieve these items, the divers were in a state of urgency. After risking their lives to dive into the underground structures, they finally discovered the cause of the floodwater backflow inside the Louvre.

The room where Yan Fei had previously battled the Armored Men for the counterfeit special items had disappeared completely due to the rush of water, becoming a massive channel for floodwater to pour in. Within this channel, the divers found the wreckage of a mysterious item, which they speculated to be a machine capable of underground traversal.

They then postulated that the floodwater backflow in the Louvre Museum that night might have been caused by this machine capable of underground navigation. In other words, while they were monitoring the movements of people entering and exiting the Louvre Museum from above ground, their adversary had already infiltrated underground and stolen items from their warehouse. The disappearance of the warehouse items wasn’t a result of being washed away by floodwaters as they had previously surmised but had been stolen well before. Although they found their own theory somewhat far-fetched, it was the only one that matched the evidence left at the scene.

Upon receiving these nightmarish updates, Bolton felt as if he had been struck by thunder. His and Robin’s plan for the evening had been comprehensive, and they had even managed to offend others by withholding their ultimate goal. But, contrary to their expectations, misfortune befell them continuously, and all of their plans failed. However, Bolton still held onto a sliver of hope at that moment. Even though they had not obtained what they desired, getting their hands on the machine capable of underground traversal could have salvaged some of the losses for the United States and preserved his position from being jeopardized. Much to Bolton’s dismay, subsequent information from the divers revealed that the machine capable of underground navigation had been destroyed and could not be restored to its former state.

Various forces had joined together for a grand scheme. Yet due to a series of unforeseen events, all their planning came to naught. Their sole gain was the body of the Armored Man. However, if they were fortunate enough to discover the identity of the Armored Man, uncover the forces behind him, and secure at least one special item, they could potentially offset some of their losses. Otherwise, they would have truly suffered a major setback that night.
