Ripple immediately opened her mouth to express her opinion, drawing the attention of all five special operatives present.

Facing these people's somewhat oppressive gazes, Ripple simply calmly patted Feng's head and then raised her eyes to look directly at Bai and said:

Mr. Bai, haven't you noticed that Miss Tina is eyeing my personal space?

Although I haven't witnessed the capabilities of your special operatives, forcefully separating me from my life space shouldn't be difficult. I won't risk losing my life space and scattering my soul for a single mission, but I am willing to accept the consequences of a failed mission.

Tina, a woman with straight, short hair, remained impassive. Only her eyes grew deeper, colder as she spoke in a chilling tone:

"You're so bold, daring to challenge us. You really think we can't do anything to you."

Ripple's face remained unchanged as she jumped off the whirlwind, simultaneously sending both Whirlwind and Doudou into space. She calmly spoke:

"You are indeed stronger than me, both in power and experience. But that doesn't mean I can't resist. Knowing full well what kind of predicament I'd be falling into, why would I jump in?"

The ripples have decided to give up on this mission, and she also remembered the few people in front of her. In the future, if there is an opportunity, she will definitely return the favor.

Ripple had already contacted Stone Mill, asking them to abandon this mission. Although communication was intermittent, Ripple still explained her situation. Even the good-natured Stone Mill narrowed his phoenix eyes.

It was a coincidence that Director Cen was there. He was particularly concerned about Lianyi's mission progress, especially her first collaboration with a special tasker. This presented an opportunity for Lianyi to interact with the special taskers, understand their mission content and nature, and get acquainted with them. This would make the transition smoother in the future. However, they didn't expect such a situation to arise on the very first attempt.

Director Cen opened his wristwatch display with a serious expression, then brought up the mission details for this special operative. He frowned immediately, tapping several times on the screen, and said to Shi Ju who was waiting for Lian Ri's return:

"Just wait and see how Captain Bai handles this."

The millstone wore its anxieties plainly, muttering in a low voice:

"If ripples are dangerous..."

"Don't worry, this is her first time performing a special mission. She has a protection period."

Director Cen calmly said.

The ripples on the other side had received the response from the stone mill, and she grew more stable. However, she would never fully entrust her life to another person, and she was also prepared to fight back. After all, it was impossible for her to surrender without a struggle. Even if her space was destroyed, she wouldn't let others have an easy victory.

The white watch vibrated, and he lowered his gaze to finish reading the message. Then, he waved his hand to stop Tina's foolish output, gazing directly at Ripples:

"Why do you say Tina is coveting your personal space?"

Because she doesn't!

How can you be sure she doesn't have it?

If she had a space capable of holding souls, would she even need to protect me? There are countless souls in this entire plane waiting for you to relocate them. Only five people have come, and it will take ages to move them all. How could Captain Bai possibly spare manpower to protect me?

It's said to be protection, but it's actually guiding me on how to complete the task. However, Tina doesn't see it that way; she believes it's an opportunity you've given her to seize my personal space.

Anyway, I'm just a low-ranking agent. It's not a big deal if I make a mistake in this complicated mission and end up dispersed. As long as others can prove Tina didn't do anything wrong, you just need to write a report and that's it.

The ripples of the words finally caused a change in Tina's expression; she did indeed think so.

Bai also noticed Tina's complexion, the displeasure in his eyes flashed past, he knew he shouldn't have brought this trouble. If it wasn't for owing Tina's brother a favor, he wouldn't be questioned by someone who wasn't even considered a rookie today.

Yao, Ying, and Zhuang remained silent, arms crossed, watching the commotion. After all, Tina wasn't someone they were taking with them.

Bai Guo waved his hand and opened a teleportation gate. To Tina's disbelief, he sent the person through it.

Liàn Yī after seeing it also knew when to stop. After all, being able to open the teleportation gate without relying on the communicator meant their cultivation level was at least above Earth Immortal realm. As the captain, she had already dealt with the unstable factor, so she could just focus on completing the mission.

White Team Leader did this partly as a warning. Ripple was quite sensible, and she had already made up her mind that after this mission, she would tell Stone Mortar that she wouldn't take missions involving special taskers anymore. She would wait until she reached the same level as these people before considering cooperation.

These ripples of thought were just for a fleeting moment, yet she remained outwardly calm as she watched the hostile Tina being escorted away.

Captain Bai turned his head and said:

Now that the obstacles are cleared, you need to complete the task on your own. Any problems?

"No problem, but my life space just evolved recently, I can only receive low-level beings. I can be responsible for the transfer of these beings."

"Alright, you're in charge of collecting the unawakened beings. The rest of us will handle the rest."

"Okay."

The ripples then released the whirlwind, and he mounted it, choosing a random direction to leave in.

After the ripples disappeared from sight, Yaocai opened his mouth and asked:

"White, why are you so accommodating to this newbie?"

"Just now I received a message from Cen Ji, accusing me of smuggling private goods during the task and threatening novice testers. What should I do?"

Captain Bai didn't seem to mind and said.

Yào listened and became interested, asking:

"I didn't expect Cen Ji from the Mission Department to be so straightforward. What kind of person is this high-ranking missioner?"

"It seems like the Operations Department is sending us a special operative. And this operative hasn't failed a single mission since joining the department. What do you think?"

Adjusting his shirt cuffs, he smiled and said:

"No wonder Cen Ji is so nervous, but I can see that we left a very bad impression on her. I estimate there will be no opportunity for cooperation in the future."

"If she is capable, she can build her own team. That way, she can still take on special missions, and the team members will be more relaxed. It all depends on her own choice."

"That's none of our concern. Right now, it's more important that we finish the task at hand. You also need to think about how you'll explain things to Tina's brother when you get back."

Bai Shun stroked his white hair, nonchalantly saying:

"What's the explanation? It's just returning a favor. Tina is hopeless, incapable of improvement, her thoughts are transparent and she can't even control her expressions. She deserves to go back and start over."

"Haha! You are right! Don't bring people like that along next time, you should try a different way to return the favor!"

Zhuang also joked.

Immediately, the four of them turned into streaks of light and disappeared on Mount Robur.

After leaving Mount Rob, Ripples decided to go to the sea first. As her true form was a mermaid, she prioritized collecting marine life.
