The old woman in the black dress fixed her murky eyes on Fairy Die and said indifferently:
“Answer this inspector: why did you turn back?”
Fairy Die cupped her hands and said: “Reporting to the Inspector, it happened like this...”
She explained how the Third Fleet had forcibly seized the Earth World's boundary fetus, alerting the enemy.
The old woman in the black dress croaked: “So, the plan to plunder the Earth World failed.”
Fairy Die's expression shifted slightly, and she said: “Inspector, it wasn't my failure. The Third Fleettedtedted in...”
“I don't care about the process; I only care about the result.”
The old woman in the black dress expressionlessly produced a jade slip, scribbled a few lines on it, and muttered:
“The Ninth Captain acted imprudently, lacked strategic planning, and the operation in the Earth World on the 18th ended in failure.”
Fairy Die bit her lip.
