A continuously improving legal system inevitably requires some sacrifices.
If youāre unfortunate enough to become one of these sacrifices, youāll feel the heavy burden of the era pressing down upon you, how overwhelming, how helpless.
Afterwards, this guy harbored intense hatred towards the Kasha Civilization, only robbing Kasha Civilizationās trade associations, never those of other civilizations.
"Itās said this guy keeps a terrifyingly powerful stellar giant beast, could it really be him?"
"Probably not."
In the meeting room, the leading man shook his head with a hint of unease on his face: "If it were him, knowing heās been manipulated by us, he would have already come for revenge, instead of..."
The next momentā
"Boom!"
The meeting roomās door was kicked open with force.
Chen Mang, leaning on a cane and wearing a round hat, followed by Biaozi and others brandishing firearms, walked into the meeting room, casually pulled out a chair, sat down, and put his legs on the table, looking calmly at the people inside the room.
"Fill-in-the-blank question."
"The value of your lives combined, how many resources is it worth?"
"Answer correctly, live; answer incorrectly, die."
"You only have three chances to answer."
"Please answer within ten seconds."
...
In the meeting room.
The men who were originally having a meeting sat in their chairs with fluctuating expressions, exchanging glances but ultimately not pressing the button under the table. They already smelled the blood from outside, indicating that everyone outside was dead.
No security left to call for help.
The only thing that could save them now was the special tool on them.
But given that the other party came prepared, they couldnāt be sure if their special tool would be effective.
Being a man who has weathered storms, the leader stood up rather calmly and looked at Chen Mang: "Could I... have your name please?"
"Wrong answer, two chances left."
Chen Mang pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth, slightly tilting his head, and Ji Chuchu on his side held a lighter to ignite it for him.
Ji Chuchu, tagging along, was filled with curiosity and a hint of excitement as she surveyed the surroundings. She hadnāt left the Fixed Star for a long time, and never expected Master Mang to specifically take her on this mission.
Is this the Kasha Civilization...
She looked out the window at the bustling and colorful city, which indeed appeared cooler and more technologically advanced than cities on Water Blue Star.
She greedily took in everything within sight.
Who knows when sheāll get out next time.
...
The manās expression flickered, as he looked at Chen Mang. The opponent came in fiercely, but thinking he would easily relinquish the foundation accumulated over the years was underestimating him.
"Name your price, weāll concede, but if itās too high, weād rather die and leave the resources to our children."
"Wrong answer, one last chance."
Chen Mang looked up at them, showing a rather gentle smile: "If you genuinely prefer to die to leave the resources to your children, that really touches me, Iām easily moved by sincere emotions."
"After killing you."
"I will leave immediately, wonāt pursue your children."
"You have six seconds to answer."
"Five trillion." Before the countdown ended, the leader spoke up, gritting his teeth and whispering: "Five trillion iron ore, thatās our limit, thatās all the liquid assets the Houmen Auction House can muster without impacting operations."
"If it exceeds this amount, go ahead and take action now."
"Sounds good."
Chen Mang leaned back against the chair, chuckling and preparing to speak again when suddenly a gunshot rang out in the meeting room. The leader, without knowing when, stood up abruptly, pulling a pistol from his pocket aimed at Chen Mangās head, already pulling the trigger.
But...
The bullet turned into an iron disk and fell to the ground upon hitting Chen Mangās head.
Unscathed.
Reacting quickly, Biaozi and others furiously pulled their triggers, and within moments, several men fell into pools of blood, leaving only their group in the room.
"So bold?"
Chen Mang was slightly bewildered, waved his hand: "Ai, check their company database for specific information, confiscate all the resources that need to be seized."
He then eagerly pulled out a telescope from his pocket, looking into the meeting room, intending to see what these people had been discussing.
His main purpose for coming here.
Another crucial goal was...
Robbery.
Yes, extremely simple and crude.
The "Kasha Civilization" forcefully confiscated resources from all civilizations, his goal was to grab even a portion, and he would instantly take the lead in the entire battlefield.
Let him handle three-on-one.
No need for fancy tricks.
Itās just a small appetizer, but these people seem to have some status, might hear some useful information from them.
...
Three hours later.
Chen Mang put down the telescope with slight soreness, this thing canāt damn well fast forward, itās a big problem.
He needs to find a way to adjust it.
Otherwise, itās too tiring to watch.
He did obtain several important pieces of information from these menās past conversations.
1: The most powerful Pirate Group in the Kasha Civilization Federation, the "Artificial Human Pirate Group," recently left traces of activity near the Gemini Star.
2: This group plans to rob the resources confiscated by Kasha Civilization this time.
Which means...
This group should know the route Kasha Civilization uses to transport those resources, might even find hidden gaps.
He wants a share of this loot.
Must find this Pirate Group first to learn Kasha Civilizationās route.
He turned his head to Pulupulu beside him: "Do you know that guy from the Artificial Human Pirate Group?"
"I know him, he doesnāt know me, no interaction between us." Pulupulu shook his head.
"Hmm..."
Chen Mang spoke no further, instead pondered deeply; heās set on getting a share, given his current methods, not eating some meat would be wasteful, those Divine-level Supermodel Effects would all be squandered.
...
ps: Itās the beginning of the month, thereās a double monthly ticket event, asking for some monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~
