A hoarse voice came from the other end. “It’s very likely that this batch of sunstone is still in Erudia. It hasn’t been transported out at all. My men are watching The Cardinal Hall and Erudia, but there isn’t anything going on there. That means that the sunstones are still in Erudia. They’ve never been transported at all. You can also do an investigation of your own in Erudia to look for their whereabouts.”
“Huh?”
The moment Bruce heard it, he froze. However, he was quick to come back to his senses.
The entire time, he had been contemplating when the sunstones had been swapped out.
Yet, he never thought that they would have been swapped out when they were in Erudia.
Subconsciously, he had thought of that place as the safest place; he had thought that nothing would go wrong at Erudia.
Moreover, Cyrus suggested that the Sacred Organization could be behind it.
Hence, Bruce began focusing his search on the various forces excluding Erudia’s.
He never once suspected Erudia.
Cyrus’ latest news made him come to his senses right away.
Erudia was definitely the place where the sunstones had been swapped, which meant that the sunstones were surely still in Erudia.
It was impossible for the sunstones to be far from Erudia.
After all, The Cardinal Hall in Erudia was keeping an eye on it.
Once they found out about the sunstones, they would surely make a move to get them.
Nevertheless, Cyrus, who had his men watching The Cardinal hall, had not noticed them making any moves.
In other words, the sunstones were definitely in Erudia.
“All right, I got it. This is the first time we’ve ever officially talked. I hope to be able to meet you more in the future.”
After Bruce ended the call, he instantly assigned Ryker and the others to work on it.
He told them to use everything they could to look for the sunstones in Erudia.
At the same time, he sent some technicians to enter Erudia with their equipment.
What he dared not do was send fighters in, for those men would certainly be noticed and watched by The Cardinal Hall.
In fact, The Cardinal Hall might even drive them out of the place, for they had no reason to be at Erudia.
Despite the frustration he felt about the incident, Bruce was glad that he had Cyrus as a partner.
Cyrus always appeared whenever he needed help, and he helped fill in the gaps that he could not; Cyrus was the perfect support.
“Boss, we’ve just received news that Bruce has sent his men to look for the sunstones in Erudia. I heard from the Dragon Warriors that the third batch of the sunstones are still hidden within Erudia; they haven’t had a chance to transport them out of the country,” Phoenix worriedly said to Levi.
To his surprise, Levi grinned and said, “Leave them be. Let them look for the sunstones.”
“Huh?” Phoenix wondered out loud. “Boss, what if they really find it?”
“So what if they do? Do you really think that they’ll be able to take them out of Erudia? Would I let them do that?” Levi questioned.
“Oh. I see.”
Phoenix finally understood what he meant.
It did not matter where the sunstones were hidden at as long as they were still in Erudia.
Like the unmined sunstones in the six major mining sites, no one could transport the sunstones out of Erudia even if they had found them.
The sunstones would forever belong to Erudia.
That was a fact.
Even if someone found the sunstones, it did not mean that they would be able to take them back to their land and claim them as theirs.
It was simply impossible.
Therefore, the Lab of Gods was only wasting their time and effort.
Instead of looking for the sunstones, it would have been better for them to mine for more instead.
Plus, their effort in searching for the sunstones might be in vain.
After receiving the orders from Bruce, Ryker and the rest began their maniacal search for the stolen sunstones.
They spent tons of both money and time searching for it.
Yet, Levi ignored them.
Instead, he was making plans for his next move.
In the meantime, Bruce dared not mine for more sunstones.
He continued searching for the missing third batch of sunstones while looking out for the mysterious organization.
His efforts were for naught.
He was only wasting his time.
Nevertheless, Bruce did not know that, and he was about to have a mental breakdown.
Luckily, Cyrus had given him some clues to the sunstones’ whereabouts.
It had been such a depressing moment that Bruce even lost the mood to work on his research.
It had been a long while since Bruce had even taken a glance at his experiments.
“Mr. Johnston, good news! Great news! We’ve found the third batch of sunstones!”
