When Han Xiao brought a group of dejected captives to Enya Hub Prison, Jabra, Hardaway, and the rest of the Black Star Guards had already been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency Black Star!" Jabra took two steps forward and bowed respectfully.
Han Xiao was on the same level as his boss, and he represented his own organization to receive the guest. He was very mindful of his own attitude and was very humble.
"Hello." Han Xiao nodded. With a wave of his finger, the imprisonment device brought the captives in front of the wardens and handed them over to them.
Hadavy and the rest followed behind Han Xiao. Jabra led the way, and they arrived at the interrogation room. The wardens separated the captives, and each of them was given a luxurious room.
"Are you going to conduct the interrogation?" Jabra turned around and asked Han Xiao.
"No need, you do it. Let me see your handiwork." Han Xiao shook his head.
He had already used the Han Family's Electrotherapy on the two masterminds and obtained the information he wanted. Now, he was just going through the motions.
The two masterminds were indeed spies from the Radiant Federation and the Arcane Church. They were part of one of the groups that were tasked with pressuring the Red Empire. From the two of them, Han Xiao could see the tip of the iceberg of this huge plan.
The pressuring plan targeted many areas of the dynasty and was split into many groups. Each group was in charge of different areas. The group that the two of them were in was in charge of stirring up chaos related to the Evolutionary Totem within the dynasty and using the black market as a pawn to affect the security of the dynasty. They also carried out some special operations.
For example, the assassination of Ludwell's descendant was to pretend that the chaos caused by the appearance of the Evolutionary Totem had led to the death of a high-ranking official's descendant. The goal was to affect the unity of the dynasty and increase the internal pressure.
It was worth mentioning that they did not choose their targets manually. Instead, they used artificial intelligence to calculate which targets could affect the dynasty and prioritize the targets with the highest probability.
That was how Ludwell's grandson was chosen. The result of the artificial intelligence calculation was that there was a high probability that killing this person would cause Ludwell's stance to change. For such a huge plan that involved dozens of areas, using artificial intelligence to calculate the target was much more efficient than using artificial intelligence.
Radiance and Ethereal were targeting the dynasty everywhere, but as long as their schemes were not exposed, everyone would follow the unspoken rules and only compete in the dark.
However, the situation was different now that there were witnesses. These two people did not have much value to Han Xiao, but they were extremely useful to the dynasty. Even if Radiance and Ethereal refused to admit that these two people were their men, the dynasty would still be able to use them in some areas.
While watching the prisoners being interrogated, Han Xiao's family's subordinates, he was, of course, of course, of course, of course, of course..
He had thought that it was just a bunch of third-rate factions causing trouble, but he hadn't expected to get involved in such a matter and accidentally save Ludwell's relatives.
Feidin's luck was unparalleled. If he hadn't discovered Ludwell's grandson in advance, he might not have been able to save him in time.
"What a blessing."
Han Xiao shook his head and sighed. He touched his chin and pondered.
"As for Ludwell …"
He was not unfamiliar with this name and knew that this was a high official of the dynasty who had some achievements in the economic field. However, in his eyes, Ludwell did not have much interaction with him.
Han Xiao only knew that there were people in the dynasty who were willing to hand over the dynasty, but he did not know who they were.
After all, Ludwell had a high position and did not have many political enemies as a neutral party. As a member of the dynasty, the other officials would not reveal too much to Han Xiao, much less Uranril and Tarrokov. Strictly speaking, allies were still outsiders, and the high officials of the dynasty were his own people. Everyone was in the imperial court, and no one was willing to make enemies out of nothing.
Halfway through the interrogation, the scene was a little unharmonious. Han Xiao was about to leave, but Jabra immediately abandoned the interrogation and took the initiative to send him to the entrance of the prison.
"It's all thanks to His Excellency Black Star's help. Otherwise, these two spies would have escaped." Jabra's face was full of smiles.
"A small matter."
"Your Excellency Black Star, are you still going to stay in Enya Hub? Please give me a chance to entertain you. "
"There's no need. We are about to leave." Han Xiao waved his hands.
After this incident, his identity was exposed, and he was afraid that he would be surrounded by people again, so he was not going to stay on this planet any longer.
Coincidentally, Fu Ding had successfully infiltrated the Punisher Alliance, and Han Xiao was prepared to let his fleet follow behind him secretly. He would train his last bit of energy while waiting for Fu Ding to find the item that would trigger the hidden boss.
Under the respectful gazes of the members of Enya Hub, Han Xiao led the Black Star Guards back to the spaceship parked at the spaceport.
The moment he returned to his room, Han Xiao's communicator rang. He took a look and saw that it was an unknown number.
After the call was connected, an old face appeared on the virtual screen. His expression was calm, and there was a sense of calmness in his voice.
"I'm Ludwell, Black Star. Thank you for saving my child."
"Don't mention it." Han Xiao replied politely before sizing up this dynasty official. "This is the first time we've met, right?"
"Yes." Ludwell nodded. "I've heard a lot about you."
"You're too polite. We're the same." Han Xiao smiled.
Seeing how calm Han Xiao was, Ludwell's impression of him improved. It was not that he had never interacted with other Beyond Grade As before. For example, someone as cold as Dark Lord clearly liked to snub other people's warm faces. Even Old Dragon would have the arrogance of a Beyond Grade A, and his attitude was cold and indifferent. A Beyond Grade A that was as friendly as Han Xiao was very rare in the universe.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ludwell formally expressed his gratitude. Since the other party had saved his grandson, he should at least take the initiative to express his gratitude. If he were to treat it as if nothing had happened, he would have no EQ, and he naturally wouldn't make such a mistake.
"We're all colleagues of the dynasty, so I'll help as much as I can. I can't possibly sit by and watch others cause trouble in the dynasty." Han Xiao did not mind.
A smile flashed across Ludwell's aged face. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked in a seemingly casual manner, "What about you?
"I heard … the Limitless Financial Group is investing in the Shattered Star Ring on a large scale?"
"That's right. They're preparing to expand their business there. They're extremely wealthy, and I've also received some shock. The Tyrant really knows how to grasp business opportunities." Han Xiao understood what the other party was trying to say and raised his brows.
"Hmm, I got it." Ludwell smiled. "The next time you come to my place, I'll treat you to a meal. I still have some work to do, so I'll hang up first."
"See you next time."
After ending the call, Han Xiao played with the communicator with a playful expression.
The Red Empire had long known about the competition between the Black Star Corps and the Bloodshed Land. Because it was not good to favor either side, they could not possibly appoint the Black Star Corps as the leader and prevent the Tyrant from grabbing the opportunity to develop. Thus, they decided to not help either side and watch the competition between the two allies.
However, from Ludwell's words, it seemed like he wanted to do something in this regard.
Ludwell did not say it clearly, and Han Xiao did not know how he would help. He could not be sure if the other party really wanted to help. Such officials were not rare.
Others might not have the ability to do so, but Ludwell was in charge of the dynasty's economy and trade. This matter was within the scope of his authority!
"If he helps, it will be of great help." Han Xiao pondered.
The dynasty's support of resources was one aspect, and economic cooperation was another. The difference between the two was similar to giving a man a fish and teaching a man to fish. There was a lot of room for manipulation. After the distribution of benefits in the Flickering World, the Red Empire would not have any new support projects for a very long time. However, that was no longer the case now.
Fu Ding's move has allowed me to form a connection with a high-ranking official in this area, which will allow me to deal with the Limitless Financial Group. Is this what they mean by following the 'main character'? Han Xiaoxin could not help but mock.
Beep beep …
This time, the communicator rang again. This time, it was someone he knew. It was Jabra's superior, an ally of the Beyond Grade A Empire who owned Enya Hub.
A few years ago, during the meeting to deal with EsGod, Han Xiao had met this person and left his contact information. This was the first time this person had taken the initiative to contact him.
The purpose of this Beyond Grade A's call was also very clear. It was to thank Han Xiao for helping to maintain the security of his territory and to invite Han Xiao to his place as a guest. Both parties exchanged a few pleasantries before hanging up. As for the purpose of this call … don't ask.
…
In the office, Ludwell put down the communicator, thought for a while, and opened the internal line.
"Contact Bekorodi for me."
Bekorodi, a high-ranking official with real power, was also a firm supporter of handing over the Cube. However, the two of them belonged to different political factions. Ludwell belonged to the neutral faction, while Bekorodi was an important figure in the hardline faction. Although both of them supported handing over the Evolution Cube, their methods were different.
As a neutral party, Ludwell would at most give his opinion to Uranril and express his stance, while Bekorodi preferred to take action.
Ludwell was in charge of the economic sector, and the movements of the Limitless Financial Group were within his observation range. His experience told him that the Limitless Financial Group's plan might have the support of some factions in the dynasty, and Bekorodi was the biggest suspect.
As someone who knew half of the situation, Ludwell did not have any intention of interfering in the past because this was in line with his stance. Thus, although he was not the main person, he did not care.
But now, since he owed Black Star a favor, Ludwell had decided to interfere. His position of supporting the surrender would not change, but he could make some adjustments to his methods. The power of the officials in the system was often reflected in such places, and the details could be seen in a small area.
The first step would be to have a talk with Bekorodi and sound the alarm to make the other party restrain himself. This would affect the behind-the-scenes deal between the other party and the Limitless Financial Group.
Due to his identity, Bekorodi might not be afraid of Black Star, but he could not ignore the opinion of the leader of another faction in the dynasty!
…
The storm in Enya Hub had ended, and the number of casualties was not small. The financial losses were also quite severe, and the business of the transit station would be affected to a certain extent. It would take some time for the transit station to regain its popularity.
After receiving a generous bounty, the Punisher Alliance was not willing to stay for too long and planned to leave.
After this battle, Fu Ding and Aurora had completely integrated into the group and left together.
"Where are we going now?" Aurora asked curiously.
"You guys are still newbies, so I'll bring you guys back to the headquarters first."
Raymond revealed what he thought was a friendly smile, but Aurora thought that he was making a funny face.
Upon hearing that, Fu Ding nodded lightly.
The item that Old Black wants me to find is probably in the headquarters of the Punisher Alliance.
