Chapter 982: Chapter 506: Complicated Situation, Ready to Abandon Everything
Big deal... Everyone fell silent, they werenât fools after all, and naturally realized it, which gave them a sense of creeping dread.
Something that made both the Empire and Federation take a half-step back, yet they were unaware of it.
"It might be difficult to get a direct answer from the Empire and Federation." Gutierrez said seriously, "Letâs ask those three first."
"They must have already colluded with the Empire Federation, they probably wonât disclose anything." Zig shook his head.
"Letâs give it a try first, starting with them is much better than entangling with the Empire Federation."
"This matter must be clarified." Gutierrez emphasized, looking around, "What theyâre hiding must be significant, we absolutely cannot be in the dark about it."
The other two nodded, setting the tone for this matter. Then Gutierrez asked, "What about that attacker, whatâs the situation?"
Zigâs expression changed slightly, his voice deepened, "The situation is more troublesome than we imagined. According to the attackerâs confession, the civilization behind him is quite powerful..."
......
"Ugh, time flies..." Li Ming walked out from the main base warehouse, and another month had passed in the blink of an eye, steadily gaining five billion metal energy.
The mechanical bodies were already enlightened, due to the production line adjustments, the number of F Level mechanical bodies is not large, and it wonât be until next month that the real production can begin.
And the first batch of mechanical body transformation has already begun, estimating that in two or three months, the previous mechanical bodies can all be turned into Holy Spirits.
"This guy is quite interesting..."
On the corridor back to his room, Li Ming flipped through his smart terminal, which was playing a video of the "Epic Dragon Blower."
There are a lot of talented individuals in the interstellar space, didnât expect someone to roughly analyze it beforehand.
He remembered this guy, who made some pretty engaging video edits during the Ascender Relics, and he followed him.
This guy used to be some kind of talk show media before, but now has become a specialized analyst focused on Azure Dragon.
Browsing through the video, Li Ming wobbly returned to his room, originally planning to develop the Genetic Seed, but found that someone was contacting him on the Black Hole Network, using Li Mingâs account.
"Abel?" Li Ming looked at the missed communication link, and his mouth couldnât help but curl up.
He enjoyed exchanging with this prince, so he immediately called back.
The other party contacted him more than twenty minutes ago while he was enlightening the mechanical bodies at that time.
However, as soon as the communication was established, without even ringing twice, Abel answered, seemingly waiting at any moment.
"Li Ming..." Abel spoke, appearing much more stable.
"Your Highness, it seems you havenât contacted me for a long time." Li Ming remarked with a bit of emotion, "I thought you were no longer working tirelessly for the Empire."
Abel frowned slightly, ignoring Li Mingâs peculiar greeting style.
He had been integrating and digesting the list Li Ming provided last time.
This time he was extremely cautious, so it took a long time to thoroughly make those women and their husbands his people.
Not only that, but those who acted as mediators had already disappeared, to prevent Li Ming from using it as leverage in the future.
"I have a piece of news for you to price." Abel was already familiar with this, with no hesitation: "Prince Heckler submitted a report to the council regarding the disappearance of the Scarlet Wolf--Lord Ivan, claiming he was captured by your teacher."
"And requests the Royal Council to ask for you officially."
"Oh." Li Ming said calmly, "This news isnât worth much."
Abel added: "I learned that his real aim is actually to have you eliminate Ivan and then let the Empire deal with your teacher."
"This seems a bit interesting." Li Ming neither confirmed nor denied, "But, in reality, it isnât worth much, three Holy Mother Churchâs hidden low-level members."
"Three?" Abel seemed dissatisfied, "Thatâs too few."
"That one called Ivan, when he came, my teacher already knew Heckler was going to deal with him. The rest is redundant information. Giving you three is already a friendly price." Li Ming also expressed dissatisfaction:
"Dear prince, such messages arenât necessary to present anymore, other than to harm our friendship."
Abel acted as if he didnât hear: "How does your teacher plan to handle the Scarlet Wolf?"
"I donât know." Li Ming said ambiguously, "Everyoneâs time is precious. If thereâs nothing else, letâs hang up."
"Wait..." Abel couldnât help but shout, and Li Ming frowned slightly.
Before Abel could speak, his expression changed slightly. The smart terminal belonging to Azure Dragon rang.
"Hold on a moment, I have something to handle here." Without waiting for a response, Li Ming ended the call.
He picked up the smart terminal and found it was a communication request from the Star Network, still going through the official channel of the interstellar alliance.
"Gutierrez? Star Alliance Chairman?" Li Ming looked at the name, with a profile picture of a cold man in a suit.
"Still quite a prominent figure, the Star Alliance..." Li Ming pondered a bit before switching identities and choosing to answer.
"Lord Azure Dragon." A sullen voice came from the other end of the screen.
"Chairman Gutierrez." Li Ming responded, asking very directly, "Not sure why you contacted me so suddenly?"
"Itâs like this..." Gutierrez also spoke directly, "I heard you returned from the Holy Spirit Civilization Ruins one or two months ago, but my brother Crow, and Lord Gonzalez disappeared without a trace."
"The Empire and Federation said they encountered a void storm inside the Red River Star Stream and vanished without a trace. Is it true?"
