"This is rather interesting... The surveillance here is everywhere. I can feel eyes watching us, but there’s no presence. It should be the cameras..." Bella glanced around.

"Is it going to be a problem?" Evelyn asked.

"Not really. As long as you are around me, my illusion can make us invisible. However, we still have to be careful."

"So, what are we going to do now?" Evelyn frowned.

"That depends on what we need." Bella turned to Evelyn. In this situation, Evelyn was the one in charge, but they still needed to follow Bella’s orders to make sure no one found them.

Evelyn crossed her arms. "What we need is technology. Nathan’s group will search for everything that is related to the empire. So, we have to search for technology that is not visible to the empire."

"Black market?"

"There should be one here." Evelyn nodded. "If possible, we will search for living beings as well, such as plants or animals."

"I doubt there is one. From the looks of it, they’re drinking some sort of black liquid and changing their part." Bella crossed her arms.

"Well, if we can’t find anything here, we will go to other places. I will use my teleportation to bypass their security." Evelyn pointed up.

"Fair enough." Bella raised two fingers. "In that case, we have two jobs for now. Locate the black market and search for anyone suspicious. We might be able to find something useful in the black market. As for the suspicious people, we want to focus on the ones spying on us. If they’re ordered by the empire, we will know that their defense system is better than we are thinking.

"Alavenya, Noelle. If necessary, we will ask you two to rough them up quietly." Bella winked playfully.

"Got it."

After finding their objective, they started to look around.

...

In the meantime, Nathan sat down on his bed alone. Since the situation was special, the four girls slept together in two rooms, while he slept alone.

As he expected, the empire had begun their move.

*Knock!*

*Knock!*

"Who’s there?"

"Human god. This is Zeta."

"Come in."

Zeta, still wearing her maid uniform, approached Nathan. Nathan remained serious, but this was a trap Nathan had set up. The reason he wanted to be alone was to let them come to him directly.

"So, what are you doing here?" Nathan asked.

"Please take this." Zeta took out a tablet. "You will be able to search a lot of things from this device."

Nathan smiled inwardly. It looked like they realized the best way to benefit from him.

He asked, "In that case, where is the market or maybe the bank?"

"May I know the reason you want to go to the market or the bank?"

"You should know the reason already." Nathan shrugged. Of course, it was money. If he wanted to buy something, it would be best to have money. The problem would be the empire.

If they wanted to extort him, this was their best chance.

Surprisingly, Zeta said, "We will create an account in your name, human god. You can use it to buy anything you want. The empire will cover everything for you."

Nathan’s expression turned serious. "There is no such thing as a free lunch. Why don’t you tell me straight what you want? We will see whether the reward is worth the risk."

"We would like to know whether you have the ability to defeat the being locked in the Frozen Prison," answered Zeta.

Nathan certainly didn’t expect this request. He thought the empire wanted to get rid of a space mercenary or something, but it looked like they wanted to focus on the alien.

It could also be their way of showing that they intended to oppose the alien, or they might be working with the aliens and backstab him during this time.

Still, he had another group lurking in the empire, so he could do things they didn’t expect.

Nathan thought for a moment before asking, "Surely, you are not asking me without a plan, right?"

"Certainly. We would consult you once you accept, but the general plan is to figure out the risk and defeat it. We will also send our fleets if you wish. As for the details, we will follow your arrangement."

Nathan raised his head. This answer led to a question. "Why do you wish to kill this alien? Haven’t you been able to imprison it?"

"It requires a lot of energy to do so. If we can free up that much energy, we will be able to do a lot more things."

"Or you just want me to go there so that I can be sealed as well." Nathan smiled.

"Please don’t say anything like that, human god. I know you don’t trust us, but our world is also being invaded by those aliens. While it’s true that the Frozen Prison could freeze not only that powerful being but also the other aliens coming through the portals over there, it costs too much.

"If someone like you can defeat it, then the situation changes." Zeta remained calm because everything had been calculated in her mind.

Nathan knew this was also a chance to see his strength.

Still, he was also quite curious about this alien. He thought that this alien was at the level of a true god, but he still didn’t know whether it was true or not.

Their fleet had found him before he could conduct an investigation after all.

Nathan closed his eyes for a moment. "I don’t mind, but I need to check whether it’s possible or not. The aliens are more terrifying than you thought. When you sealed it, did you experience a spike in its power?"

Zeta shook her head. "No."

"Then, it hasn’t gone all out yet. It can increase its power by two to three times or even more. You haven’t encountered such a thing from the weaker aliens?"

"No."

It looked like the empire hadn’t encountered alpha class aliens. They might have improved much faster and prevented the aliens from going to their planet.

If that was the case, they still didn’t know the true terror of the aliens.

"Well, investigation is necessary. I can do that at the end of the week. I will just take my time for now."

"Understood. Please take a look at what you want. If you need anything, you may call me through that device."

"Okay."
