Lady Tai's silence gave Butler Jin a bad premonition.
The seven major families of the Federation had been able to survive for so many years, so they naturally had many ways to control their huge industries and connections. However, every family had loyal subordinates who had served the main family for generations. The Tai family had ruled the empire, so there were even more loyal subordinates who did not reveal themselves. He was one of them.
This old butler, who had first served the Madam, then Tai Zhiyuan, liked Xu Le, but he knew that Xu Le's true identity would bring great harm to the Tai family's interests, as well as the Madam. Most importantly, the information this young man had hidden after escaping to the capital ring was too terrifying. Therefore, after a moment of silence, he spoke first.
"Even if we can help Xu Le cover up, with his current development in the Federation, there will be a day when many people will notice him. Furthermore, he has exposed too many flaws, so the government will easily catch him. "
After saying this, he took out a piece of paper and placed it on the stone table. Then, he quietly stepped back and waited for the Madam's decision. Lady Tai picked up the thin piece of paper with her fingertips. With her sharp eyes, it did not take long for her to discover the problem with the amount of money recorded on the paper.
Lady Tai looked at the thin piece of paper quietly. The paper recorded the flow of millions of dollars. For the master and servant in the scene, this sum of money was not worth a second glance. However, this sum of money came from Xu Le's three Forest Alliance bank card. In the end, it was transferred through the channels of the Federation's black market to an account in the Eastern Forest Region. This was enough to prove a very serious problem.
"Although nostalgia is a very respectable emotion, it is also a very idiotic thing to do … especially when you don't have the ability to do so." Lady Tai stood up and returned the paper to Butler Jin. She said calmly, "That person called Li Wei was Xu Le's friend in Eastern Forest?"
"Yes. When this amount of money was transferred, that Li Wei had just been released from prison."
…
…
The first person who saw a crab would definitely be frightened by such an ugly creature, but the second person who saw a crab would definitely not be so shocked. Lady Tai knew where Butler Jin's fear came from. She also knew what the chip on the back of Xu Le's neck meant to the Federation. However, she had seen it before, so she was able to conceal her emotions perfectly.
With her hands still resting quietly on her lap, Lady Tai narrowed her eyes and looked at the East Sea in front of her. It should be summer in S1, autumn in S2, and spring in S3. The green hills behind her were filled with wildflowers, and the beach in front of her had some plants growing stubbornly.
At this moment, Madam Jin was reminded of many things, especially because of Butler Jin's solemn tone. She was reminded of the meeting that happened many years ago.
That was in S1's capital special district. The president of that era and the director of the Bureau of Proclamation jointly invited her, her husband, and the God of War, Lees of Philadelphia, into a small room. During that closed-door meeting, the president and the director's words and tone were very similar to what Butler Jin said in the temple today. The abnormal situation that the Federal Central Computer found shocked everyone present.
After that intense argument, Tai Zhiyuan's father, her husband, left in anger. The head of the Tai family, who created the romantic plot of the Double Moon Festival, was a good person full of humanity. No matter how one thought about it, he couldn't make that kind of decision because it would definitely betray and hurt his friends.
However, everyone in that room knew that if they couldn't control that person, with that person's temperament, the books that he wrote, and the things that he did, the glory of the charter would one day dim, and the political system of the Federation would start to falter. Once the first charter lost its effect, the people would start to look at those politicians and big families with hatred. The human Federation, which spanned hundreds of light-years, would definitely fall apart. Every district and every administrative planet would become independent, and civil war would ensue in the Federation. When that time came, what kind of hell would the Federation become?
There was also the Imperial armies, who were already showing their sharp teeth at that time. If they were allowed to control that man's mind, would the Federation forever become a colony of those barbarians?
Therefore, when the head of the Tai family left in anger, Madam Tai stayed behind. This was because from the first day she married into the Tai family, she had knelt in front of her parents-in-law and swore that she would definitely help her husband to continue the Tai family, so that the Federation could exist peacefully in the universe forever.
That military god from the Lees of Philadelphia also signed his name after a long period of silence.
Unfortunately, the later changes in the situation were more or less out of the expectations of these two people.
His Excellency the President initially wanted to control, but that man who had thousands of incarnations didn't want to be controlled at all. In fact, he couldn't control him at all. Only the heavens knew how the Lees of Philadelphia gave birth to these two monsters, who actually had such powerful abilities.
The Federation government and the Bureau of Proclamation's secret pursuit, because of that man's tenacious resistance towards freedom, evolved into a pursuit that spanned many years and many galaxies. During this process, who knew how many Federation soldiers died, and how many news events shocked the Federation.
The sea breeze mixed with the mountain breeze, slightly salty and cool, brushing past the stone platform in front of the temple. Madam Tai woke up from her memories. She actually felt a bit cold, subconsciously shrinking her body. She actually felt a bit disappointed about the decision she made back then.
Back then, there were only five people who participated in that closed-door meeting. It just so happened to be the same number of people as the group of five that led humanity out of the darkness after the catastrophe countless years ago. The contents of that meeting were only known to these five people. Even if the other great families of the Federation's seven great families vaguely found out some things, they still had no way of coming into contact with the truth.
His Excellency the President, with the help of Li Pifu of Philadelphia, ultimately led the entire Federation to defeat the barbaric invasion of the Imperial armies. Then, he passed away from illness amidst the cheers of tens of billions of Federation citizens and the sounds of fireworks by the windows. At the time, Madam Tai was at His Excellency the President's side. Even today, she still believed that His Excellency the President of that time was the most outstanding and most outstanding politician in the history of the Federation.
After the war ended, that figure who was revered as a military god by the people also returned to the lakeside of the Lees of Philadelphia to retire. The Federal military and the people always thought that this person didn't want his lofty prestige to affect the normal operations of the Federation's political system. Therefore, they revered him even more.
However, this was actually only a part of the reason. In the Federation, only Madam Tai knew that this military god must have felt sad and guilty that he had personally sent his brother into that huge explosion. Such sadness could only be soothed by returning to his hometown by the lakeside. The reason why she knew was because she also felt the same way.
Madam Tai narrowed her eyes and looked at the surface of the sea. However, the hands in her sleeves gently clenched. She thought of that huge explosion in the Donglin Region two years ago.
It wasn't until the Federal Central Computer once again discovered that man's existence through an electric baton that they, these important figures who had felt sad and guilty for many years, finally realized that everything was fake.
That huge explosion on the Empire's resource planet didn't kill him at all. That's right, Professor Jin, Mechanic Yu Feng, George Carlin, these people who had countless incarnations and walked the universe with their own abilities, how could they die so easily?
Every time Madam Tai thought of her husband's incomprehension, anger, and indifference towards her after that huge explosion more than ten years ago, she would feel better until he died. However, that man hid on that desolate mineral planet as if nothing had happened, drinking small amounts of alcohol, smoking small amounts of cigarettes, raising his disciple, and visiting prostitutes at the sanatorium punctually every week … Madam Tai was furious.
Her respectable husband did so much for that so-called friend, but that person was so heartless and only cared about his own happiness. When it came to being heartless, as expected, no one was more ruthless than him.
"I hope you're really dead this time."
Madam Tai said in an extremely cold tone. The Ancient Bell that was secretly controlled by the 4th Military Region was originally a modified battleship. Although the power of the main cannon wasn't necessarily more powerful than that of the huge explosion more than ten years ago, it was more concentrated. Furthermore, the person who personally took action at the front line was a powerful figure like Fatty Tian. Logically speaking, that man shouldn't be able to survive.
However, the problem was that she had seen that man create too many miracles with her own eyes, so she wasn't so sure.
…
…
Butler Jin had been standing behind her silently, waiting for orders. Madam Tai stood up and gently adjusted her cuffs. She said slowly, "This matter can't be known to anyone else. Recall all the personnel in charge of the investigation. Also, send someone to monitor that person called Li Wei and find a suitable way to bring him to Bermuda. "
Butler Jin's body trembled. From these few orders, he knew that Madam Tai definitely didn't intend to tell the government about Xu Le's true identity. He didn't expect Madam Tai to make such a decision and was momentarily stunned.
Madam Tai didn't care about the shock in his heart. She raised her head slightly and allowed the cold sea breeze to blow away the blazing sun on her linen clothes. She thought silently in her heart, If you're still alive, I'll use Xu Le to lure you out. Let's see if you're really so heartless that you don't care about anyone …
If you're really dead two years ago, I'll try to control your student. Many years ago, we failed. I really want to know if we'll succeed this time. If we don't, I'll send him to the Netherworld Sea to accompany you.
The most powerful madam in the Federation smiled as she looked at the blue sea that was getting darker as the sun moved westward.
She stood up and walked towards the old temple. She stood up and walked towards the old temple. Butler Jin bowed slightly to send her off. His heart felt extremely heavy because of Madam Tai's decision. However, that old temple wasn't a place he could set foot in, so he couldn't persuade her even if he wanted to. He just felt that Madam Tai might have made a huge mistake this time.
…
…
Xu Le didn't know that on a planet several light years away, there was a conversation about him happening. He also didn't know that Madam Tai had already found out his true identity and had decided to use him to lure out that heartless uncle, or to completely control him in her hands. If it was the former, then there would definitely be schemes and dangers. If it was the latter, then there would definitely be methods and pressure, until he completely lost his freedom. Freedom was the most basic requirement that every person had outside of survival.
In short, a crisis was slowly approaching this fugitive's body, but he didn't know anything about it. Right now, he was even lamenting the power of the Tai family hidden within the Federation. He completely didn't know that the more powerful Madam Tai was, the more difficult his life in the universe would be in the future.
His cooperation with the Tai family had been very pleasant. After just a trip to the Nutshell Engineering Department, the other party had given him enough authority to even send a military mecha to Whitewater Company in such a short period of time. Even if it was one of the seven great families of the Federation, it was still a little shocking that they could do all this. What made Xu Le even more shocked was that the Tai family could influence the Nutshell Engineering Department, and even tamper with Whitewater Company to get that CEO to cooperate. This kind of influence was really frightening. He even wondered — was the Shell Motor Company part of the Federation or the Tai family?
This was his emotional reaction when he saw the M37 just now. Right now, Xu Le couldn't care less about these things. He was currently standing with several logistics personnel at the control panel behind the super-strong glass. Looking at the silhouette of the black mecha in the mecha room, he clenched his fists tightly from time to time, feeling a little nervous and excited.
The black M37 mecha was moving quickly in the spacious mecha room. The old-style single engine was at full power, letting out a low humming sound. However, these sounds seemed to be unable to keep up with the black mecha's own high-speed movements.
Although the mecha room was spacious, it still seemed a little small for a six-meter-tall military mecha to move quickly and evade in there. However, the black mecha was being operated smoothly like flowing water. Every action was simple, fast, accurate, and effective. There were absolutely no redundant commands. When it was evading, there was no obvious deceleration, and there were no scenes of it crashing into obstacles.
Only the most excellent pilots could operate such a heavy mecha and still make such smooth reactions at this speed.
The electronic data collection devices on the ceiling of the mecha room were working non-stop, faithfully transmitting the control data of the black mecha back to the control panel. Those staff members looked at the data nervously and couldn't help but exclaim softly in shock.
After this M37 had started moving, it had never stopped. The seven-minute long test of evading and speed had been completed in one go, as awe-inspiring as the rushing of a river. And those feedback data proved just how terrifyingly fast the hand speed of the pilot in the mecha had reached in this period of time.
Even someone like Xu Le, who had not been in contact with mecha operations for long, could see the pilot's extremely talented control ability and that trace of awe-inspiring beauty in the black mecha's clean and efficient movements.
With a soft beep, the black M37 instantly turned from extreme motion to extreme stillness. The power of the three engines was retracted, and the mechanical legs stood firmly in the centre of the circle. The entire body of the mecha did not tremble at all, ending the entire test with an extremely perfect standard tactical movement.
With the sound of compressed air being released, the cabin door of the black M37 opened. A delicate man jumped out of the mecha, tucking his hands into his trousers out of habit, ignoring the drop of sweat dripping from his hair.
