Chapter 460: Chapter 244: Post-event Analysis - The Trio Who Noticed Something Was Wrong, Must Protect the Azure Dragon!
"However, I need to figure out their collaborative plan. The Torch Organization is still a decent place for me. If Des is planning to directly bring Asimara here, I will have to officially report it..."
But what troubled him was that he couldnât be sure when Des would contact Asimara.
He couldnât possibly stay in Desâs shadow all day, but Li Ming didnât want to expose Des directly. He felt that there was great potential in handling this matter well, and it could turn out to be a brilliant move.
With a slight frown, he looked down at his smart terminal, his expression then relaxed.
"The signal is completely blocked, even the internal network canât be connected."
Before this, they couldnât contact the outside world but could connect to the Torch Organizationâs internal network. With limited permissions, they could access notifications or communicate with others through the internal network.
But now even the internal network signal was blocked. This was physical isolation. No matter how advanced Desâs technology was, he couldnât contact the outside world without a signal connection.
"Connet probably wanted to do this for a long time, but never had the right reason. This is a good opportunity to completely isolate us."
Li Ming pondered, from now on, he just needed to pay attention to when Des could connect to the internal network.
At least in this area, it was impossible for the other party to do so.
"And this purple Energy Force Field suppression..." Ten minutes later, as soon as the cooldown for switching ended, he immediately tried to perform [Space Blink], but found it impossible, feeling a strong blockage.
Li Ming thought: "Since the space is locked, there must be other Traits. Tank Guard canât detect it, I should ask Jesaya..."
Over the mottled planetary surface, the purple Energy Barrier seemed to ripple, the thin internal air whirled up the dust, and several spacecraft were haphazardly situated here.
Hum--
The cabin door opened, the expressionless Theo and Ulrich entered the spacecraft where Sandro was.
Sandro, looking glum, saw their solemn expressions, adding a bit of awkwardness, but then he straightened his chest.
The cabin door closed, Ulrich glanced at Sandro, Theo straightforwardly asked: "Tell us, whatâs really going on with that material?"
This conflict seemed totally abrupt, hinting at something unusual.
"Boss, Iâm also confused. That material was perfectly fine, who knew it would turn bad once it got to Brotherâs hands." Sandro said helplessly.
He genuinely wanted to sell the goods and believed from the bottom of his heart that there was nothing wrong with the items and had no intention of scamming Brother.
"Are you sure you didnât mess with it?" Theo asked again.
Ulrich interjected, "With Sandroâs brain, how could he think of such a ruse."
"When I handed over the batch to Sandro, I glanced at it, though not too carefully, but there seemed to be no issue on the surface."
Sandro unusually didnât argue back to Ulrich, instead agreeing deeply: "Yeah, I donât have such tricks."
"Itâs only two possibilities: either itâs Desâs trick or what we got was junk."
"Iâve dealt with Bryrim, and he isnât easy to trick," Ulrich shook his head, his eyes flickering: "Besides, at that time Azure Dragon had already made an offer, indicating he also hadnât noticed any issues."
He added, "At least, there werenât issues at the time."
Sandro was sullenly frustrated, even though he had made some money, it was money he should have earned anyway, and now it had caused him even more trouble.
"Thatâs strange, since I got the materials, theyâve almost never left my sight, how could they have been mysteriously destroyed."
"Azure Dragon..." Theo uttered two words, Ulrich was not surprised, nodding in agreement: "I also tend to think itâs most likely his doing."
"Azure Dragon?" Sandro blinked, then realized: "I remember now, right after we had divided the loot, during the time waiting for Theoâs men to return, Azure Dragon indeed had asked to meet me."
"I initially thought he wanted to secretly discuss the metal materialsâ purchase price, but upon meeting, he said it was nothing."
"He contacted you too?" Ulrich pondered, "He had also asked to meet me, and similarly, there was no one in his room, I went straight back to my room to check the materials, and at that moment they seemed fine."
"Thinking about it now, it was probably some trick used at that time."
"Was it really him?" Sandro widened his eyes, then looked at Theo.
"He asked to meet me too." Theo nodded.
Bang!
Sandro abruptly slapped the table and stood up, indignantly said: "Such dishonor! Itâs fine not to buy, but to secretly sabotage like that."
"Why? Whatâs the point?" Compared to Sandroâs emotional reaction, Ulrich was more composed: "Risking the chance that weâd discover it, he damaged those metal materials, and then what?"
"What then..." Sandro blustered, "Your brain, always overthinking, thatâs why itâs so big."
"It was supposed to be sold for one and a half billion, just sell it to him at that price, but you had to raise it, treating him like a sucker, he definitely wasnât pleased."
"Itâs just venting."
"Just simple venting?" Ulrich frowned, this kind of purpose being very simplistic and involving emotional venting made it hard for him to associate it with the Azure Dragon he knew internally.
"What else then?" Sandro retorted irritably: "I really shouldnât have listened to your nonsense back then."
But he expressed relief, "Thank goodness we found a sucker to take it off our hands, otherwise it really would have become a burden onovas."
"It was probably Azure Dragonâs doing." Theo concluded, Azure Dragon having sought out all three of them was not a coincidence that could be explained away.
