Waking Up

Hao Ren threw the MDT cum dead body into his Dimensional Pocket. He did not want anything to happen to the carrier while he was away from the Plane of Dreams. After he deliberately greeted several mercenaries, he left Gray Fox with swagger.

He was not worried about someone finding the body in the room missing: Firstly, he would only be away for a day, so the mercenaries would unlikely break into his room. Secondly, he had left an autonomous robot behind in the place. If someone broke in, the robot would alert him immediately as it delayed the intruder for a while. He would be able to sneak back in time.

However, his hunch told him that these things were probably not going to happen.

After he left the base, Hao Ren came to a junction leading to the town where Khiton's body was hung. His body was suspended from a lamppost with a big sign below it, which read "This Is What Happens to Those Who Betray Gray Fox".
