When Han Xiao brought a group of dejected prisoners to the Ainia Hub Prison, the guards such as Gabra and Hadaway had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency Black Star!" Gabra took two steps forward and saluted respectfully.
Han Xiao is at the same level as his boss. He represents his own forces to receive reception. He pays great attention to his attitude and keeps his attitude low.
"Hello." Han Xiao nodded, moved his finger, and the confinement device flew these prisoners to the jailer and handed them over to the jailer.
Hardaway and others spontaneously followed behind Han Xiao, Gabra led the way, and everyone came all the way to the interrogation room. The prison guards detained all the prisoners separately, each with a luxurious single room.
"Are you going to preside over the interrogation?" Gabra turned his head and asked Han Xiao.
"No, come on, let me see your craftsmanship." Han Xiao shook his head.
He had already used Han's electrotherapy on the two behind-the-scenes actors and obtained the information he wanted, but now he was just going through the motions.
The two behind-the-scenes men are indeed lurking personnel of the Radiance Federation and Ethereal Religion, serving in the pressure plan on the Scarlet Empire. They are members of one of the groups. From the mouths of these two people, Han Xiao saw the iceberg of this huge plan. corner.
The pressure plan targets multiple areas of the empire, and is divided into many groups, each of which is responsible for a different field. Announce employment, use chess pieces to affect the security of the empire... and do some special actions by the way.
For example, the assassination of the relatives and descendants of Ludwell this time was to pretend that the chaos of the evolutionary totem led to the accidental death of a descendant of a high-ranking official. The goal was to affect the unity within the empire and increase internal pressure.
It is worth mentioning that the targets they target are not artificial selections, but through intelligent calculations, they find out what targets may have an impact on the interior of the empire, and then give priority to targets with high probability.
This is how Ludwell's grandson was selected. The result of intelligent calculation is that killing this person has a good chance of causing a change in Ludwell's position. Like this huge plan involving dozens of fields, it will affect the whole body. , using intelligent computing to select targets is far more efficient than human thinking.
Guanghui and Voidling are targeting the empire everywhere, but as long as the secret conspiracy is not exposed and not put on the table, then everyone abides by the unspoken rules and only competes in secret.
But now that there are witnesses, the situation is different. These two are of little value to Han Xiao, but they are quite useful to the empire. Even if Glory and Void were bitten to death and refused to admit that these two were theirs, the Empire could allow them to use their waste heat and waste in some areas.
While watching the prisoner being interrogated, Han Xiao pondered the matter secretly.
I thought it was just a group of third-rate forces doing things, but I didn't expect to get involved in such a **** and rescue Ludwell's relatives by mistake...
Fording was out of luck. If he hadn't discovered Ludwell's grandson in advance, he might not have been able to save people in time.
"What a blessing."
Han Xiao shook his head and sighed, touched his chin, and pondered:
"As for Lutherville..."
He is no stranger to this name and knows that this is a high-ranking imperial official who has made great achievements in the economic field... But in his eyes, Ludwell has nothing to do with himself.
Han Xiao only knew that there was a handover faction within the empire, but he didn't know who it was.
After all, Ludwell has a high position and authority, and as a neutral faction, he does not have many political enemies. He is also a member of the empire. Other imperial officials will not reveal to Han Xiao too carefully, and it is even more impossible for Ulan Riel and Tarrokov to say so. Strictly speaking, allies are still outsiders, and the high-ranking officials of the empire are their own people. Everyone is in the officialdom of the empire.
Halfway through the interrogation, the picture was slightly discordant, and Han Xiao was about to leave. Gabra immediately dropped the interrogation and took the initiative to send it to the prison gate.
"Thanks to Your Excellency Black Star for helping, otherwise these two spies would have run away." Gabra was all smiles, and he was ugly, smiling horribly.
"a piece of cake."
"Does Your Excellency Black Star still stay at the Ainya Hub? Please give me a chance to entertain..."
"No need, we're ready to go." Han Xiao waved his hand.
After this incident, his identity was exposed, and he was not prepared to stay on this planet because he was afraid that he would be watched again.
It just so happened that Fording had successfully infiltrated the Punisher Alliance, and Han Xiao was going to let the fleet quietly follow behind, while tempering the last bit of strength, while waiting for Fording to find the relic that triggered the hidden boss.
Under the respectful gaze of the members of the Ainia hub, Han Xiao took the guard up into the air and returned to the spaceship parked in the airport.
As soon as he returned to the room, Han Xiao's communicator beeped, and after a glance, it was an unfamiliar number.
After the connection was made, an old face appeared on the virtual screen, with a calm demeanor and a calm tone:
"I'm Ludwell, Black Star, thank you for saving my child."
"It's just a gesture of help." Han Xiao heard the words and said politely, and looked up and down the high official of the empire by the way, "Let's meet for the first time."
"Yes." Ludwell nodded, "I have admired you for a long time."
"You're welcome, let's be with each other." Han Xiao smiled lightly.
Seeing that Han Xiao's attitude was so peaceful, Ludwell felt a little better about him. It's not that he hasn't dealt with other Transcendent A Grades. He is like a cool guy like Dark Emperor. He obviously likes to stick his cold butt on other people's hot faces. Even Lao Long will bring Transcendent A Grade arrogance and love. Ignore the answer, Han Xiao’s affinity for Transcendent A Grade is rare in the universe.
After a few words of greetings, Ludwell formally expressed his gratitude. Someone else saved his grandson thief. At least he should take the initiative to thank him. If nothing happened, he would have no emotional intelligence. Naturally, he would not make this mistake. .
"They are all colleagues of the empire. I can help if I can. I can't just sit back and watch others make trouble in the empire." Han Xiao didn't care.
A smile flashed across Ludwell's old face, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, seemingly asking casually:
"I heard... the Infinite Consortium is investing in Broken Starlink on a large scale?"
"Yeah, they are going to expand their industry there. They have a lot of money, and I have also been hit a bit. This guy, Tyrant, is quite capable of seizing business opportunities." Han Xiao understood the other party's subtext and raised his brows.
"Well, I see." Ludwell smiled lightly. "Next time you come to my place, I will invite you to dinner. I still have some work to do, so I will hang up first."
"See you next time."
After finishing the call, Han Xiao played with the communicator with a playful look on his face.
The Scarlet Empire has long known about the competition between the Black Star Legion and the War Realm, because it is not good to favor either one in this regard, and it is impossible to designate the leading position of the Black Star Legion to prevent the tyrants from seizing the opportunity to develop, so the two simply do not help each other. , sit back and watch the business competition between the two allies.
However, listening to Ludwell's subtext, it seems that he wants to express something in this regard
Ludwell didn’t say clearly that Han Xiao didn’t know how he would help, and he couldn’t be sure whether the other party really wanted to help. He was ambiguous and liked to let others guess. This type of official was not uncommon.
Others may not have this energy, but it just happens... Ludwell is in charge of the economic and trade field of the empire, and this matter is within the scope of his power!
"If he helps, it will be of great help." Han Xiao pondered.
Imperial resource support is on the one hand, and economic cooperation is another. The difference between the two is somewhat similar to giving a man a fish and teaching a man to fish. There is a lot of room for manipulation. After the benefit distribution of Glittering World, in order to balance, for a long time, Scarlet Empire will not have new support projects, but it is uncertain now.
Fording’s hand made me connect with the senior officials in this area, just in time to deal with the infinite consortium. Is this the legendary “protagonist” who has meat to eat... Han Xiao couldn’t help but complain.
"Drip..."
At this time, the communicator rang again. This time, the caller was a guy who knew him. It was Gabra's boss and an ally of the Transcendent A Grade empire with the Ania hub.
When the meeting against Ability God was held a few years ago, Han Xiao met with this person and left a communication method. This is the first time someone has taken the initiative to contact him.
The purpose of this Transcendent A Grade is also very clear. It is to thank Han Xiao for helping to maintain the security of his site, and to invite Han Xiao to be a guest at his place. The two sides hung up the communication after a few polite words. … Don’t ask, ask is just lining up.
…
In the office, Ludwell put down the communicator, thought for a while, and opened the internal line.
"Contact me Bekorody."
Becorodi, a high-ranking official, is also a staunch supporter of the Turnover faction, but the two belong to different political factions. Ludwell is a neutral faction, and Becorodi is an important figure of the hard-line faction. Although both of them support the handover on the issue of the Evolution Cube, they do it differently.
As a neutral party, Ludwell at most raised his opinion to the head of state Ulan Riel and expressed his position, while Bekorody was inclined to take action.
Ludwell is in charge of the economic field, and the movements of the Infinite Consortium are also within his scope of observation. His experience tells him that behind the plans of the Infinite Consortium, there may be support from certain factions in the empire, and Bekorodi is very suspicious.
As a half insider, Ludwell had no intention of intervening before, because this move was also in line with his position, so although he was not the leader, he also turned a blind eye to it.
But now, since he owes Black Star a favor, Ludwell has decided to intervene and his position in favor of the Shanghai faction will not change, but the practice can be fine-tuned. The officials in the system exercise power, which is often reflected in this kind of place. See the mystery between the square inches.
The first step is to talk to Bekorodi, ring the alarm bell, and let the other party restrain a little, so as to affect the behind-the-scenes transaction between the other party and the Infinite Consortium.
Due to his identity, Bekorodi may not be afraid of Black Star, but he has to pay attention to the opinion of another imperial political faction leader!
…
The turmoil at the Ainya hub has ended, with a large number of casualties and serious property losses. It will have a certain impact on the business of the transit station, and it will take some time to regain popularity.
After receiving a generous bounty, the Punisher Alliance was unwilling to stay for a long time and planned to leave this place.
After this battle, Fording and Aurora fully integrated into the group and boarded the ship and left together.
"Where are we going now?" Aurora asked curiously.
"You are still newcomers, let's take you back to the headquarters first."
Raymond showed a friendly smile in his own eyes, and Aurora thought he made a grimace.
Hearing this, Fording nodded lightly.
The thing Lao Hei asked me to find is probably at the headquarters of the Punisher Alliance.
Alas, I can finally help, and I don't know if I can find it...
