An Envoy from Afar
Chapter 1597 An Envoy from Afar
“I am Sheryl Yaxdica, from the Earth Federation Council.”
(Sherry Yaxdica)
After Cardias, following Rita's instructions, secretly sent people to make contact with a foreign spaceship, a woman named Sheryl Axdica, accompanied by her guards, arrived before Cardias and Rita.
"Earth Federation Council?"
Cardias's gaze narrowed slightly.
Unexpectedly, the guest Rita mentioned was actually a special envoy from another Earth's Federal Council.
“Miss Yaxdica, hello! I am Cardias Bist.”
"I am Rita Bistre. Hello, friend from another Earth."
Rita walked lightly and cheerfully to Sheryl Yaxdica.
"Miss Xue'er, did you come on behalf of your older brother?"
"Big brother?"
Sheryl Yaxdica was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
The so-called special envoy of the Earth Federation Council is merely an official title in name only.
In reality, Cher Axdica was here because she had accepted a commission from VEDA to bring a message protected by a special encryption technology to find the head of the Bist Foundation.
Unexpectedly, just as he approached the moon, the Vist Foundation found him first.
It was as if someone had known of her arrival beforehand.
"Huh? Didn't your older brother ask you to bring a message?"
Rita's big eyes blinked, as if she had the ability to see through people's hearts.
"Ahem! Aunt Rita. Please don't frighten the guests."
Cardias reluctantly spoke up to remind him.
Rita Bist's identity is extremely special within the Bist family.
Even he, the head of the Vist Group, sometimes had to back down when facing Rita.
“This isn’t just a bluff! After all, this is serious business. Isn’t it, Miss Xue’er?”
Rita turned around and glared angrily at Cardias, causing the latter to sigh helplessly.
"Ahem. I'm very sorry! It was my rudeness. It seems you already know something about my identity."
Xue'er looked around but didn't continue.
"Don't worry! Everyone here is trustworthy. Oh, except for that big bald guy."
Rita, of course, understood Cheryl's implication, and immediately patted her chest and said.
These words left Jair Zhang, who was standing guard to the side, feeling quite helpless.
(Jar Zhang)
"Miss Rita, I don't think I've offended you at all."
"No! It's just that you're getting in the way standing here."
Rita looked at Jar Zhang with a grin.
The latter looked at Cardias with a troubled expression.
“Aunt Rita, you see, Jarl is only doing this to protect us.”
Cardias spoke up for Jar Zhang.
"Hmph! Forget it."
Rita put her hands on her hips, completely ignoring Jail Zhang's presence.
This made Jarl Zhang breathe a sigh of relief. Although Rita was occasionally targeting Jarl Zhang, it was actually Rita who had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to get Jarl Zhang into becoming Cardias's bodyguard and secretary.
Unlike Jail Zhang in the original timeline.
Now, Jail Zhang is a talent discovered by Rita using the power of NEWTYPE (as she claims) when Rita and her friend Michelle began to use the resources of the Vist Foundation to make plans after becoming the adopted daughters of the Vist Foundation and when they were selecting suitable collaborators for Cardias.
Initially, Jarl Zhang was moved by the secret of the Laplace's Box hidden by the Vist Foundation, and persuaded by Rita and Michel, eventually becoming Cardias's bodyguard and secretary.
Unexpectedly, despite his diligent work serving the Bister Foundation, Jar Zhang was constantly being teased by Rita, leaving him feeling helpless but gradually accepting the situation.
After all, even Rita Vist, who holds such a special position within the Vist family, has targeted him like this. Could anyone else possibly interfere with Cardias's arrangements for Jar Zhang's employment?
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Miss Xue'er. It's safe here now."
Rita emphasized again.
Cher nodded and handed Rita the special encrypted message that He Ming had asked VEDA to pass on to her.
Do you need us to provide an interface?
Xue'er added a sentence.
Although we are all human, the level of technology varies from world to world. Therefore, there should be some differences in the data interface.
"no thanks!"
Rita took the data storage device from Sheryl, examined the interface, and shook her head.
She then walked to Cardias's desk, pulled open a drawer, fiddled with it for a while, and finally found a small box that had been sealed away for several years.
Rita took out the special device from the small box, compared it with the interface on the data storage device, and then smiled.
"Hmm. It really is a message from my older brother."
Upon hearing this, Cardias breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for bringing this message from so far away, Miss Cher. We probably have some things to take care of. Perhaps we should have Jar arrange accommodations for Miss Cher to rest for the time being. Tonight, our Bist will also be hosting a family dinner for Miss Cher, and we hope that Miss Cher can attend."
"Very well! Thank you for your trouble, Master!"
Sher knew she needed to avoid suspicion at the moment, so she readily accepted Cardias's invitation.
After having Jarl Zhang lead Cherrie away, Cardias looked at Rita.
Rita connected the special device inside the small box to the data storage device and pressed the start button.
This small box was given to Cardias for safekeeping several years ago before He Ming left, in case He Ming was unable to contact the Vist Foundation in a timely manner and could only communicate through a reliable third party.
Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy in the end.
"Oh! Decoding successful."
Rita exclaimed in surprise, then her eyes widened.
"Did Lord He Ming say anything in the message?"
"Cardias asked quickly."
This was the first time He Ming had contacted them in so many years, and after such a terrifying upheaval that turned the world upside down.
“Cardias. My intuition was right! Some force is responding to the Britannian Empire’s declaration of war and will soon launch an invasion, using hyperspace portals and space jump technology to send troops directly from Mars to the moon!”
"And this force's first stop was Granada."
"What?! A hyperspace gate? Spatial jump? What is this?!"
Cardias suddenly felt an immense terror descending from the void.
Although Anaheim, under the Vist Foundation, is not yet the most advanced technology company in the UC Earth Federation, it is aware that the UC Earth Federation's current technological level has reached that level.
"Cardias, inform General Rebil! The Vist Foundation is temporarily unable to cope with the crisis from Granada."
