2047, Assassin
Svetlana looked at Peacock and said with a smile, "Although the mass-produced T-X can be easily seen through on the surface of Coruscant, it is indeed very useful in the underground world of Coruscant. Also, there is a guest waiting for us. "
"Guest?" Peacock asked curiously.
"Senator Thunbach-Tula."
"It's actually her! Why is she looking for us at this time? " Peacock frowned. Just a month ago, she was even planning to assassinate this person, but now she actually took the initiative to look for them.
Svetlana patted Peacock's shoulder and said, "In politics, there are no eternal enemies, nor are there eternal friends. From this point alone, those who are involved in politics are indeed much darker than those who are involved in the pugilistic world. At the very least, revenge is a joke. Let's go and see her. "
When they arrived at the Guardian Planet's ambassador's office, they saw a Samiel with a bloated body, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting on the sofa waiting. Her chin still had three neatly combed strands of hair that looked like a beard, but she was indeed a Samiel woman.
"Councilor Peacock, how do you feel about the general assembly of the council this time?" Tuenbak-Tura asked with a smile.
"I'm not a senator. I think you're mistaken, Senator Tula," Peacock replied politely.
"No, no, no. You're already a senator, aren't you?" Tula waved his fat hand and said, "I'm very surprised that Count Dooku gave you three seats. But from what I've seen recently, Guardian Planet is still worthy of one of the three seats. "
Peacock's eyes narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura, "Shouldn't you be thinking about how to get out of here alive?"
"Hahahaha, actually, what I want to say is that the Samiel people have seven seats in the Confederation Parliament. And we are one of the first planets to respond to Count Dooku's call in Lasakas, "Tula said while spreading his hands.
Svetlana wasn't surprised at all. "Planet Samiles has an extremely strong industrial capacity. It's even comparable to some of the planets in the core circle. You guys are worthy of these seven seats. However, if I'm not mistaken, Count Dooku purposely arranged for you to oppose us, right? "
"That is part of the reason, but part of the reason is that Count Dooku sees things further than you do. For example, have you ever thought that even though Palpatine is advocating war and military expansion, the Independent Star System Confederacy is actually more desperate for war than he is? " Tula's insatiable greed disappeared, replaced by a shrewd glint in her small eyes.
Of course, Dooku and Palpatine were putting on a show. Peacock thought to herself, but she still put on a surprised expression and asked, "How is that possible? I always thought the Confederacy needed more time to prepare — "
Tula smiled proudly and said, "The more the Republic expands its military, the more galaxies join us. So, of course, we support the Republic's military expansion. Moreover, the Confederacy and the Republic will have a war sooner or later. This war is to determine whose ideology is correct. I noticed that you've been befriending Senator Padme and Senator Organa recently. In fact, Count Dooku doesn't like it too much because they're both pacifists. "
"That's not important anymore. After all, I'll be going to Lasakas soon and really work for the Confederacy," Peacock replied with a smile.
"But Her Excellency Svetlana will still stay here, right? So, I hope that Her Excellency Svetlana can cooperate with me and pass another tax increase bill while the military expansion bill is passed. This will further stimulate the outbreak of war, "Tula said.
Svetlana gave Peacock a subtle look, then nodded and said, "If this is Count Dooku's arrangement, then it's only natural. I'll think of a way to influence some middle-of-the-road senators to get them to agree to this bill. Of course, in my way … "

Outer Rim of the Milky Way, Hutt Space, Smuggler's Moon, Nar Xada.
Recently, some of Nar Xada's shipyards were particularly busy. Cargo spaceships were constantly hauling back spaceships with damaged engines using tractor beams, then repairing them in the shipyards. There were all kinds of spaceships being hauled back. There were a lot of them, but most of them had been modified. One look and anyone could tell that they were smugglers or space pirates' spaceships.
There were so many spaceships that the shipyards didn't stop working almost every day. As a result, the price of spaceship engines on the black market had risen by a lot. The spaceship engine factories opened by the Hutts on Nar Xada were making a lot of money.
Of course, those who had been in Nar Xada for a long time would often find that most of the spaceships that were hauled back were very familiar! Weren't they the people who rushed up to get a piece of the pie when the Black Sun lost a batch of goods? Now that their spaceships were back, where were they? Naturally, it wasn't hard to imagine.
But even so, those who recognized these spaceships didn't dare to say anything. On one hand, it was because these shipyards were all Jabba the Hutt's property. Although Jabba's influence in Nar Xada was average, as the overlord of Tatooine, no one dared to provoke him. On the other hand, of course, it was because a modified frigate, the Black Camora, had been hauled back one day! One of the nine Vigors of the Black Sun, Anthony's flagship!
At this time, on top of a building next to one of the shipyards, a person wearing armor and a fully covered helmet with a T-shaped eyepiece landed silently in the shadows. His cold eyes stared coldly at the busy factory below. The Black Camora, the Black Camora, was being repaired and modified in this very shipyard.
A short woman with a head of gorgeous blonde hair and a protruding chest was inspecting the spaceship's modification work under the guidance of a few engineers. Obviously, she treated this spaceship as her own. She was excitedly gesticulating and giving the engineers all kinds of creative suggestions for modifications.
The shadow hidden in the darkness moved slightly. His expression could not be seen under the mask. All he could see was that he took out a sniper rifle, held his breath and began to take aim.
Just as the short woman raised her hand and was about to speak, the shadow pulled the trigger! An explosive bullet that was compressed to the extreme was fired instantly. At this distance, it would hit the target in less than 0.1 seconds! However, at this moment, the woman suddenly turned her head inadvertently. The shot missed, and the direction she turned to look at was the direction where the shadow was hiding!
The shadow immediately discovered through the scope that the woman was able to dodge the shot and discover his position immediately! His reaction was also very fast. He immediately activated the jetpack on his armor and fled at high speed in the direction that he had scouted beforehand!
Almost in the next second, with a boom, the place where he was just standing instantly exploded! Jane Connor had already appeared there. Looking at the person fleeing into the distance, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
