In response to Nick\'s statement, Irving nodded.

"You\'re right; he is indeed searching for information about me. So we need to take advantage of this opportunity and set a trap he simply can\'t resist."

Irving\'s words brought a look of confusion to Nick\'s face. However, Irving wasn\'t planning to disclose the specifics of his action plan to Nick. In Irving\'s view, if he revealed his plan too early, Elder Howard might find out through some channel.

"You just need to follow my orders. In two days, we\'ll have a trap set for Elder Howard. Besides, we don\'t have much time left, so I won\'t waste any."

Irving\'s purpose in saying this was to dispel Nick\'s worries. He understood that as a member of the Angel Guild, Nick would still harbor some reservations about him. Moreover, Irving and the Angel Guild had only just resumed their cooperation. He certainly didn\'t want any misunderstandings to lead to complications during this collaboration.

Nick nodded.

"I can certainly trust you. Before I came here, Aron and Anna advised me that I just need to follow your orders without having too many of my own ideas."

Nick\'s response reassured Irving even more.

"It seems Aron has indeed learned from past lessons. He finally understands that only by following my instructions can we achieve success in our operations."

Irving\'s comment left Nick momentarily speechless, so he just smiled and remained quiet.

"Alright, we don\'t need to linger here any longer. Let\'s hurry and see Andy. He should have sensed something unusual during this time."

After saying this, Irving led Nick quickly to Andy\'s office. At that moment, Andy had already returned to his office. He suddenly noticed that the strange feeling that had been present in his office seemed to have vanished. Perhaps it had all just been a false alarm.

Andy sighed and spoke to himself, "Could it be that my earlier feeling was just a false alarm? Is it possible that I really didn\'t get enough rest, which made me sense something unusual in the office?"

Andy felt that things couldn\'t be that simple. However, his own strength was not sufficient, so he couldn\'t investigate the truth behind the abnormality. Just as Andy was contemplating what to do next, Nick and Irving pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing Nick and Irving, a smile finally appeared on Andy\'s face. "You\'re finally back! Your mission must have gone very smoothly, right? If it hadn\'t, you wouldn\'t be back this quickly."

Although Andy didn\'t know the specifics of Nick and Irving\'s mission, he could tell that their operation had likely been very successful. Irving nodded with a smile. "You\'re right; our mission went exceptionally well. Moreover, on our way back to the Starling City Angel Guild base, we detected an unusual power emerging from the data repository.

This strange power seems to be searching for information related to me, so we must respond immediately. I hope to get your cooperation right away."

Irving\'s words surprised Andy. However, without any hesitation, he straightforwardly replied to Irving and Nick, "Of course, I will cooperate with your actions. What do you need me to do?"

"What I need you to do is quite simple: immediately move all the storage devices from the data repository to a more secure location. However, these devices cannot leave Starling City."

Irving outlined the action plan he wanted Andy to follow. After hearing this, Andy\'s expression became slightly hesitant. "Why do it this way? I could easily take all the storage devices to the Angel Guild headquarters. Wouldn\'t it be safer to keep them there?"

Without hesitation, Andy questioned Irving, believing that sending the storage devices to the Angel Guild headquarters was the safer option. Nick shared Andy\'s thoughts but felt that they shouldn\'t question Irving\'s decision at this moment.

"You don\'t need to say anything further; just follow Irving\'s orders," Nick said directly to Andy.

Andy nodded and prepared to carry out Irving\'s command.

However, before Andy took action, Irving explained why they needed to proceed this way.

"Sending the storage devices to the Angel Guild headquarters is certainly the safest option. But our goal is not just to ensure the safety of the devices. Our objective is to counter Elder Howard, so we need to use the storage devices to set a trap for him. Elder Howard hasn\'t had time to check all the information in the storage devices.

If we manage to move the devices in time, he will assume that there is crucial information within them. At that point, he will desperately search for the new location of the storage devices. This will give us the opportunity to set a trap around the new storage location."

Once Irving finished explaining his true intentions, Nick and Andy finally understood.

Andy immediately responded, "I understand! I\'ll take action right away! Where do you think the new storage location should be?"

"You just need to choose a location with many tall buildings for the new storage site. We are very skilled at operating in complex terrains," Irving said, intentionally looking at Nick as he spoke.

Nick nodded, understanding Irving\'s strategy.

After Andy carefully noted down what Nick and Irving had said, he quickly set off to carry out the plan.

Meanwhile, deep within the Angel Guild\'s Starling City base, Elder Howard was pacing nervously in his room. He felt that his previous actions had been rather reckless. He was acutely aware that others had noticed his movements.

Although he hadn\'t clearly seen the faces of the individuals who entered the data repository, he could sense that one of them was Nick, and the other was likely Andy\'s assistant, Daniel.

"It seems I still couldn\'t remain calm. Since I\'ve detected Nick and Daniel\'s presence, they probably sensed mine as well. They might be heading toward my location right now."

After muttering this to himself, Elder Howard sprang into action. He willed the mist surrounding his body to rapidly expand. He hoped to use the mist to scout the situation around him.

As soon as the mist controlled by Elder Howard spread out, he heard a piercing alarm sound echoing throughout the base. Startled by the alarm, Elder Howard quickly retracted all the mist.

"It seems they are about to take action! I must be ready for battle!"

Elder Howard gathered all the power he possessed. This approach not only helped him avoid being detected by others but also allowed him to unleash his full strength immediately when the fight began.

After waiting tensely for over ten minutes, no one entered Elder Howard\'s room. This left him slightly surprised. He decided not to use the mist to scout other areas this time. Instead, he planned to step directly out of his room.

As soon as Elder Howard pushed open the door and stepped into the corridor, he saw Irving disguised as Daniel quickly approaching him. Howard had already prepared for battle in secret, but the disguised Irving spoke to him in an urgent tone.

"You shouldn\'t be standing in the corridor; you need to return to your room quickly!"

Irving\'s words made Howard relax a bit. He feigned ignorance and asked Irving, "What exactly happened? Why is there suddenly an alarm?"

Irving looked at Howard coldly. "That\'s not something you should be asking! But I can tell you what\'s happening—on the condition that you promise to return to your room and stay quiet after I tell you."

Upon hearing this, Howard nodded eagerly. After checking to ensure no one was around, Irving leaned in closer and whispered, "Someone broke into the base, and this intruder has even accessed the deeper data repository. It seems they are searching for information related to a very important individual.

However, you don\'t need to worry; the intruder has been temporarily driven out of the data repository. As for their current location, we don\'t know. So, staying in the corridor puts you at great risk of encountering the intruder. If you do come across them, you absolutely won\'t survive, as the intruder is not to be underestimated."

After saying this, Irving, still disguised as Daniel, quickly left.

Elder Howard naturally honored his promise and retreated back into his previous room. Gradually, the expression on his face calmed down. He sighed with relief and muttered to himself, "It seems it was just a false alarm! If Andy\'s assistant Daniel couldn\'t detect my presence, then my hiding skills are still quite flawless!"
