第18章 "Shadow Cargo's Secret"

**第18章：**权力游戏的陷阱**

萧远的眉头皱起，诺瓦的信息让他感到不安。他Presented himself and asked, "What do you think the secretary is hiding?"

诺瓦's expression turned serious, "I'm not sure, but I think it's related to the mysterious cargo that arrived on the planet yesterday."

萧远's eyes narrowed, "What kind of cargo?"

诺瓦 hesitated, "I don't know, but I saw some shady characters lurking around the cargo bay. I also overheard some whispers about a top-secret project."

萧远's grip on his gun tightened, "Let's go check it out."

As they approached the cargo bay, they saw a group of heavily armed men surrounding a large, reinforced door. The door was emblazoned with a logo that read "NovaTech" in bold letters.

"What's going on here?" Lemuel asked, his hand resting on the grip of his own gun.

One of the guards sneered, "None of your business, leeway. This is a NovaTech operation."

Lemuel's eyes locked onto the guard's, "I'm not looking for trouble, but I'm not leaving until I find out what's behind that door."

The guard snarled, "You're not going anywhere, leeway. Prepare to defend yourself."

Lemuel drew his gun, "Let's do this."

As the two groups clashed, Lemuel's and Nova's phones buzzed simultaneously. It was a message from the secretary, "Meet me at the observatory at midnight. Come alone."

Lemuel's eyes narrowed, "What's going on? Why does the secretary want to meet us alone?"

Nova's expression turned cold, "I think we're walking into a trap."

The battle in the cargo bay raged on, but Lemuel's mind was preoccupied with the mysterious message. What did the secretary want to reveal, and what secrets was it hiding? The game had just gotten a lot more complicated.

As the dust settled, Lemuel's and Nova's phones beeped again. The message changed, "Meet me at the observatory at midnight. Come alone. Or else."

Lemuel's grip on his gun tightened, "It seems we have no choice. Let's get ready for a night that will change everything."
