Chapter 73: Leader of the Bakar Resistance Organization — Cindy Doppler
Chapter 73: Leader of the Bakar Resistance Organization — Cindy Doppler
After traveling 73 kilometers to a small town called "Bale," Su Yu set the teleportation point of his Hearthstone in an open field outside the town and then returned to Bakar City.
He chose this location because, in his previous life, the legendary human hero Ice Red Tea was besieged and ultimately fell here at the hands of the Skrull invaders at the young age of 19.
Su Yu's visit to this place served two purposes: to honor the fallen hero and to remind himself not to be complacent in this dangerous world. He needed to stay vigilant, as the risk of sudden death was ever-present.
It was around 8 PM when he returned to Bakar City.
In a secluded, camera-free alley, Su Yu cast the Invisibility Spell and made his way toward the wealthy district in the west side of the city,, hidden the mansion.
the city.
where, he and Morning Star, on his shoulder, asked, "Hey, Kexing, what's your plan?"
"
"I need to find a Skrull."
"Who is it?"
"His name is Cindy Doppler. He's the leader of the Resistance Party."
"Oh, I see. But is it wise to just show up at his place?"
"What's not wise about it? You'll see when the time comes."
As they chatted, they reached the heart of the wealthy district.
Su Yu followed the route he remembered.
Finally, he found Cindy Doppler's residence—a luxurious mansion by the lakeside.
The mansion was heavily guarded by security personnel and equipped with advanced security devices and psychic arrays.
However, these security measures were designed to deter native Skrull assassins. For Su Yu, an outsider—cough, I mean an extraterrestrial visitor—they were utterly useless.
With his Invisibility Spell, he walked right through the front gate, unnoticed by the security personnel.
Half an hour later, a sleek, black, and extremely luxurious hover car drove through the gate and stopped in the garden in front of the house.
Cindy Doppler, who had been busy all day, stepped out of the car.
He gestured to the driver to park the car and then called out loudly, "Dear, I'm home!"
"Dear, you're finally back! Why are you so late today? The children are already asleep."
A gentle Skrull woman opened the door and came out, taking the coat her husband handed her and hanging it on the rack by the door.
"It's because of the social engagements," Cindy Doppler said, slightly tipsy. He kissed his wife, "I was drinking with Minister Jeff, the foreign minister of Lankte, discussing the capture of 'Number One.' Ha ha, you wouldn't believe how awful Jeff's face looked when he mentioned 'Number One'!"
"Number One? Is that the human from Earth?" his wife asked casually.
But she wasn't very interested and headed toward the kitchen, "Dinner is still warm. Do you want to eat some more?"
At that moment, Cindy Doppler suddenly hugged his wife from behind, "The kids are asleep, right?"
"Yes."
"How about we go to the bedroom first..." Cindy Doppler's's mind was flooded with dopamine, planning to take advantage of the alcohol to do some unspeakable things.
But just then, a voice echoed in his mind, "Ahem, Mr. Doppler, hold on a moment. I'm 'Number One,' and I'm in your youngest son's room on the third floor. I need to speak with you."
Cindy Doppler's eyes widened in shock, and he instantly sobered up. The excitement he had just felt vanished completely.
His wife was unaware of all this.
At that moment, her face flushed, and she slapped Cindy's face.
Cindy quickly raised his hand to block it.
"What's wrong? You weren't going to—" his wife looked utterly confused.
"Sorry, dear. I just remembered I have some official business to attend to. We can do what we were planning after I'm done," Cindy Dopppler explained hurriedly, pulling up his pants and rushing toward the stairs.
In the third-floor room of their youngest son.
Cindy Dopppler scrutinized the human form of Su Yu, his face stern and serious.
"Are you 'Number One'?" Seeing Su Yu's true appearance, he was almost certain it was him.
On Skrull, only the highest-ranking officials had ever seen images of humans from Earth. These high-ranking officials were either leaders of countries or Sixth-Stage Saint Domain powerhouses. An average Skrull pretending to be "Number One" would be impossible.
Moreover, why would anyone want to pretend to be "Number One"? He was the world's most wanted criminal. No one in their right mind would dare to impersonate him.
So, from the moment he saw Su Yu, Cindy Dopppler knew he was the real deal.
"Yes, I am Number One. This is my companion, Morning Star," Su Yu introduced the yellow mouse on his shoulder.
Morning Star, still in the form of a yellow mouse, chirped at Cindy Dopppler, "Pika Pika."
Cindy Dopppler was speechless.
He vividly remembered the majestic form of Morning Star when she transformed into a [Star Core Dragon]. Now, this powerful being was acting cute as a local creature?
But Cindy Dopppler didn't say anything.
He adjusted his tie, took a deep breath, and looked at Su Yu seriously. "Mr. Number One, what brings you here? And..."
He glanced at his sleeping son on the bed, his face showing concern.
Cindy himself wasn't afraid of Su Yu. Although he was only a Fifth-Stage Psionicist, he had several means to ensure his survival.
But he didn't want his family to be endangered by rash actions.
Su Yu saw his concern and smiled. "Don't worry. I know the people of Beck oppose the war between the two planets. I'm here to discuss cooperation.
I have no intention of harming your family. It would be irrational to create enemies for myself."
Cindy Dopppler thought about it and agreed.
He gestured for Su Yu to follow him. "Then, esteemed guest, this isn't the place to talk. Would you like to move to the adjacent lounge?"
"Of course," Su Yu nodded and followed Cindy Dopppler out of his son's room.
In the lounge on the third floor of Cindy Dopppler's house.
Cindy first activated a soundproofing psionic array in the lounge, then poured a drink and handed it to Su Yu.
He explained, "This is a specialty of Skrull, fresh juice from 'Leco Bugs' grown in the northern 45-degree latitude sunlight insect fields. You should try it."
Su Yu took the cup of bug juice, which was filled with a sticky, green liquid and had a distinct, pungent odor.
He had no intention of drinking it.
Politely placing the cup on the coffee table in front of him, he took a bottle of cola from his backpack and handed it to Cindy Dopppler. "This is a specialty from Earth. I think you should try it."
