[Sky Dome] Auction House.
The Marindo Star Patrol and TGX police officers assemble.
The arrival of the Star Patrol was normal, as it detected an unusually high energy reaction at the auction house... As for the arrival of the TGX, it was because, in the midst of the chaos, someone, in desperation, made a call to the TGX.
Su Duo had already decided to cover up that this was an assassination attempt.
"...They're a group of space pirates of unknown origin! How despicable! To steal our collection, they actually orchestrated such a heinous act! Our firm will compensate all customers for their losses...I sincerely apologize for this..."
Sudo hastily convened a simple press conference, denouncing the evil deeds of the space pirates and bowing deeply in apology before the cameras—this was all too familiar; the people of [Marindo] seemed to have witnessed it once before.
It was the incident at the "White Wolf Dragon Theme Park" that happened; the person in charge of the park did the same thing.
Because few people knew the truth about this incident, Su Duo had made preparations well in advance of the Star Patrol's arrival. Therefore, after investigating, both the Star Patrol team and the TGX team, who were just there for show, promised to capture these despicable space pirates and to the public that they would strengthen the defense of [Marindo] and would never let any vicious space pirates go!
Space pirates are actually just "void pirates"... it's just that people on the "scientific side" are used to calling them space pirates.
"This is clearly not an ordinary space pirate attack..."
"What can we do? The higher-ups have already decided that this was done by space pirates!"
After a brief investigation, the Star Patrol team left some people to help clean up the scene before quickly withdrawing... and the TGX team did the same.
……
TGX's office building in Marindo.
Skull has been living in constant fear these past two days.
...They all have a habit of returning to the crime scene for one last look. Skull later secretly went to the place where the key was inserted and found that the key had disappeared.
This nearly scared Skull to death, fearing that the matter of the Crystal Key had been exposed.
The calm and peaceful atmosphere inside the TGX headquarters building for the past day or two finally put Skaru at ease, but he remained tense.
"Space pirates?"
"Yes, a lot of people died, including many nobles. The Sky Auction House is in big trouble this time!"
In the cafeteria, Skull listened to the gossip silently, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly inquired about the Sky Auction House.
—This damn thing, could it be something Arthur did?
【Arthur】is just a space pirate, and a space pirate of extraordinary origin, the son of 【Armand】, one of the 【Nine Pirate Kings】!
"Hey, this might be a great opportunity. Star Cruise is working itself to the bone for this coronation ceremony... and it might soon be TGX's turn to help."
The "Pointing Out the Country" team in the cafeteria began to express their opinions. Everyone here was capable of analyzing the current situation, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and able to traverse the vastness of space and time for tens of thousands of years!
As Skull listened to the gossip, he subconsciously forgot about the Crystal Key. He had no choice but to do so, as only in this way could he temporarily forget that he was an "undercover agent".
Just then, an unfamiliar message arrived on the communication bracelet, which made Skull's heart skip a beat!
His expression changed slightly, but he left the cafeteria without making a sound and went to his dormitory before hurriedly checking the contents of the message.
The information is encrypted... it's the same encryption method used by Arthur to communicate with himself.
After reading the contents, Skull was almost scared to death!
"What is he trying to do?! Damn it..."
Skull felt that Arthur was getting more and more insane. This drug-addicted madman actually asked him to inquire about TGX's situation in the prison in Marindo!
That place holds quite a few notorious thugs, some arrested by TGX itself, and others captured in Marindo and transferred by Star Cruises after trial...
……
Just as Skull was filled with anger and confusion, on the top floor of the TGX building, the Nine Gods Naraku, who had been born at the top of the [Science Side] pyramid, was also looking at the police report with great interest.
"The Leo brothers?"
"Yes, our people found half a body at the scene. After genetic comparison, it was confirmed to be Leo's DNA, one of the Leo brothers." The strategist quickly added, "The Leo brothers are a pair of notorious killers, twin brothers..."
Nine Gods Naraku had no recollection of the Leo brothers; assassins of that caliber were simply not even on his radar… But someone like the [Black God's Blade] would naturally catch his attention.
However, the Leo brothers did indeed have a successful assassination attempt on the [Radiant Moon] Immortal, and they were on TGX's wanted list.
Nine Gods Naraku tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "So, this isn't just a simple attack on the auction house?"
“That should be it.” The aide nodded. “We discovered that two other important figures were also present at the auction: the fourth princess of Atlantis and Levi Titus…”
Kurojin Naraku was very familiar with the name of the Fourth Princess, and she was even one of the marriage partners that the Kurojin family had considered... Kurojin Naraku was very lenient about which marriage partner the family would arrange for him.
Apart from that Princess Anle, whose reputation is really terrible.
"Oh? Levi Titus?" A strange look flashed in the eyes of the Nine Gods Naraku... This name had appeared in his sight far too many times recently.
He was actually quite curious about the only officially announced boyfriend of the flirtatious Princess Anle, Li Guo.
"The Leo brothers were assassins who fled from the Atlantis Empire. The fact that the Fourth Princess also appeared at the auction suggests there might be some hidden secrets..."
The staff offered a conjecture based on the available information, and it was a bold conjecture.
"Why not because of this Levi Titus?" Nine Gods Naraku chuckled. "To assassinate the Fourth Princess, you would need to deploy at least someone of the level of the Black God's Blade. But the Black God's Blade isn't stupid. If it weren't for an irresistible reward, they wouldn't easily offend the Emperor of Atlantis."
The aide said, "Something's very wrong at the scene. The way those people died is too strange. I think there's someone else besides the Leo brothers..."
After glancing at the captured footage sent back, Kurojin Naraku frowned again, feeling that his advisor's speculation seemed to make some sense.
However, TGX could not obtain the on-site surveillance footage from the auction house at the time; the only footage they obtained was a post-event video recording.
"Their blood was drained, which doesn't seem like the methods used by the [Science Side]... Moreover, the upper echelons of [Marindo] seem to be deliberately covering up this incident..."
Nine Gods Nāraku suddenly pushed the documents aside, saying, "We'll keep an eye on this later. I have an important appointment today."
The aide nodded. "The gift is ready."
He naturally knew what his young master's important appointment was.
Nine Gods Nāraku came this time with the mission of jointly establishing a special training camp with the [Abrier] Empire—the person he was going to meet was one of the imperial prime ministers in charge of this training camp, the famous female prime minister, [Lady Zhaorong]!
In the top-floor office, Nine-Headed God Naraku straightened his clothes and left... The office door then locked, but the control terminal screen inside suddenly lit up...
……
……
Royal Court, the former residence of Princess Odina.
Ms. Nan, who was lying on a beach chair on the terrace basking in the artificial sun, had a smile on her lips... Beside her, Raphael, who had also been dragged there to sunbathe, had a miserable look on his face.
She has no choice but to suffer, because she is about to head to the ancestral land and doesn't know what she will encounter.
“September, I think now is a great time,” Xie Nan suddenly said.
To her left was her mother, [September], who had also been brought to sunbathe.
"When?" [September] asked with a puzzled look.
Xie Nan chuckled lightly, "What a perfect opportunity to buy up the assets of the Papillon family at rock-bottom prices... It's also time to get those old sycophants of Raphael's mother to do the work, isn't it? What was his name again... Draco? Isn't he a big businessman? He's perfect for this."
[September] thought for a moment and said, "[Babilon]'s foundation is not as simple as imagined. The royal family will not stand by and watch him fall... Raphael should not antagonize [Babilon] at the moment."
"That old bastard, Lord Papillon, won't be around for long," Xie Nan said casually. "Someone's after him, and he definitely can't escape it... Once he's really fallen, he won't get much meat to eat."
[September] frowned in a human-like manner, feeling strange about Xie Nan's certainty, "Do you know something inside?"
“That’s incredibly shady, you could even call it a conspiracy.” Xie Nan shrugged. “Anyway, you can’t go wrong with my advice. But tell Draco, even if you’re buying at the bottom, know when to stop. We can make a living by picking up scraps, don’t get carried away…”
No definite answer was given in September.
Xie Nan didn't insist, since the suggestion had already been given... Xie Nan couldn't command the subordinates left behind by [Otina] at the moment, and this [September] mom still needed to give them a talking-to.
"I'll arrange it for Draco."
……
……
When Boss Luo returned to the hotel, there were two more [Jinxiu] combat teams stationed there. Even the area around the villa where Boss Luo was staying had been cleared out, and the combat team members moved in directly.
The entire hotel was thoroughly searched several times.
"...It's like this, Lord Li Wei, His Highness hopes you can send that assassin over there. She will find the person who is secretly plotting against you as soon as possible."
The squad leader said nervously.
Their commander-in-chief, Lady Valia, meant that it would be best if Lord Levi handed over the person, but it wouldn't be forced if he didn't; in short, his attitude had to be good.
"Please thank Li Guo for his kindness." Boss Luo simply shook his head. "We will handle this matter ourselves."
“Okay.” The squad commander nodded directly.
They truly admired Venus; this man was incredibly powerful, his feat of single-handedly suppressing the Fourth Princess was legendary.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Luo said, "Mr. Venus is interrogating the assassin. If you're interested, you can listen in."
The squad commander was overjoyed—at least he could report back, right?
……
The Fairy Linglong is currently housed in the basement of the villa... When the squad commander arrived, he found that the entire basement was covered by a thick layer of crystal.
She quickly explained her purpose to Venus, "Lord Venus, I was just listening in, I would never disturb you..."
The squad commander was very respectful because of his awe of the strong.
Since it was the young master Li Wei's idea, Venus naturally had no objection—the Fairy Linglong had been awakened again by him, but her injuries had not been treated.
Before the squad commander arrived, Venus had almost completely drained the Fairy of the Dragon's memories.
“She received the assassination order in the Ghost Market of Marindo.” Venus handed the squad leader a file. “This is the employer’s contact information. Take it back to Her Highness the princess.”
"Thank you so much!"
Venus waved her hand, "But she can't be given to you."
The squad commander quickly replied, "No need, no need, this information is enough... Thank you again! I'll be going now!"
She was perceptive enough to know that Venus so easily handed over the information about the person who hired the hitman, clearly just to get rid of her... He must have something else he wanted to do to this female assassin.
The Fairy Linglong kept her head down the whole time, silently listening to Venus's conversation with the squad commander... Only after the female commander left did she slowly raise her head.
Her face was deathly pale, and the fact that one side of Gaofeng had been smashed made her very upset.
"...I've told you everything I know." Fairy Linglong was feeling unwell all over, especially after all the hard work she'd put into cultivating her skills. Even if she miraculously survived and returned to her sect, she was probably no better than an ordinary disciple...
"Your life or death is not for me to decide," Venus said calmly, casually extending her crystal hand.
Linglong Fairy knew that the other party was about to seal her consciousness again. She couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously said, "Wait...wait a minute, please tell me, who exactly are you? Why can you see through my origins at a glance...at least let me die knowing why!"
The fairy's consciousness began to freeze rapidly... Venus did not grant her wish.
……
"This is all the information about Fairy Linglong. Please take a look."
Inside the villa's study, a maid was standing behind Boss Luo, gently massaging his temples... Venus kept his head down, not paying much attention.
The attendant sent by the Crimson Grand Duke is quite efficient... The maid glanced at Venus but said nothing.
This is a very suitable candidate to become Dark Soul.
However, the master has no intention of converting Venus into a dark soul, so the maid will not intervene.
After reviewing the information, Mr. Luo thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Venus, if I were to entrust her to your full authority, how would you handle her?"
Venus thought for a moment and said, "Although the Arena Master ordered me to come and serve you, he did not revoke my management qualification in the arena. Fairy Linglong is quite strong. After recovering, she can join the arena."
The Void Arena is essentially a large-scale breeding ground for scum. In addition to hosting competitive matches to amass wealth, it also sells combat slaves.
For example, the demonic boy who fought Titan King Kong last time was a battle slave... Venus, a mid-to-upper-level manager in the arena, also has his own performance needs.
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Isn't it a waste to send a true disciple of the [Primordial Demonic Sect] into the arena if it's not for training purposes?"
Venus pondered for a moment and said, "Is the young master interested in the Primordial Demonic Sect... or rather, is it because of the Dao Celestial Immortal Path?"
Boss Luo didn't speak, but simply grabbed a document and a file appeared in his hand—this document contained complete information about the [Dao Tian Immortal Path].
He purchased it from the altar on his own initiative.
But Venus didn't know the contents of the document, nor was she curious; she simply waited quietly.
The maid suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Venus, perhaps you could consider training a subordinate. There's no need to do everything yourself."
“Okay.” Venus nodded directly.
He already understood what the other person meant.
He also has a large number of subordinates in the arena, but this time the Crimson Duke only sent him alone... Although the arena owner said that he would retain his authority as an administrator, he has not yet mobilized his subordinates.
After all, his own business also needs someone to manage it... The competition within the arena is also very fierce.
So, having someone to boss around isn't bad either...
At this moment, Boss Luo suddenly said, "Mr. Venus, would you be interested in hosting a void competition on the [Dao Tian Immortal Path]?"
Venus's usually calm expression began to change.
This was... a crazy suggestion, but one that really appealed to him!
But... I don't know if the venue owner will agree. After all, doing this on the Dao Heaven Immortal Path is tantamount to offending all the top sects of the Glorious Ruins at the same time.
While the Void Arena isn't afraid of these, it's still troublesome—after all, some members of those top sects have already crossed the third node long ago…
“This… I’m sorry, Young Master Levi, I cannot make that decision.” Venus shook his head. “However, I can convey your suggestion.”
"No need," Boss Luo shook his head. "Just ask him now."
Venus was taken aback.
Boss Luo tapped his finger.
The next moment, Venus felt as if he had seen a ghost—beside him, the phantom of [Crimson Grand Duke] Lin Yuan instantly appeared.
The Crimson Grand Duke looked completely bewildered, but quickly recovered—he glanced at the somewhat lost Venus, then took a deep breath, "Your Highness, you wanted to see me?"
—Your Highness…
Venus inwardly gasped – was this still the [Crimson Grand Duke] he knew?
It can't be fake, can it...?
Boss Luo briefly explained his thoughts.
Without hesitation, the Crimson Grand Duke replied, "Yes! Absolutely! Since Your Highness wishes to see it, I will certainly do as you say! I'll have someone prepare it right away!"
What is the "Void Arena"? It was originally created to please this prince...
Let alone the top geniuses from those sects in the [Glorious Ruins], even if His Highness wanted to see a [Sunrise] level battle, he would do everything in his power to get it!
He deliberately arranged for Venus to come and serve him, because if he didn't take the initiative, who knew when His Highness would become interested in him... and he couldn't actively urge him.
See, we just dug a nest and it's already working, isn't it?
As for Venus, [Crimson Grand Duke] has already considered mentioning his managerial rank in the arena... After all, Venus's strength is already sufficient; he's just relatively "young."
