Chapter 351 This matter is not over yet!
"Have you been so busy lately, Boss Lin?"
Catherine couldn't help laughing as she listened to Yang Ming's complaints, and then she coaxed Yang Ming with gentle words.
She is indeed very busy, and not only busy, but also under tremendous pressure.
After all, it was just a trivial matter like planning a rebellion.
However, Catherine did not mention these things much. Even during their exclusive encrypted communications, she maintained the highest level of discipline.
"Do you need help?" Catherine asked with concern. "I just learned that you went to retaliate against the New Federal CIA. In fact, you can take me with you, or ask Bly to help you. He is relatively free now. After all, the people above have to follow his opinions."
——Bly controlled the Super Modifier Organization and continued to spread his "control network" outward.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Just focus on your business. There's nothing wrong with me. The CIA is easy to retaliate against, but it's not easy to deal with the nobles who ordered the firing on civilians. The noble court wants me not to pursue this matter."
"The Court of Nobles?"
Catherine's expression suddenly became serious:
"I did hear that before the poison gas bomb exploded, Daphne's integrated transport ship suddenly opened fire on the venue, and it was firing at full force."
"Well," Yang Ming said, "the higher-ups are trying to use the New Federation CIA's terrorist attacks to cover up the dirty deeds of the nobles."
"How do you want to deal with this?" Catherine asked softly.
"They are on my territory, they touched my people, they ruined my business, do they still want to get away with it?"
Yang Ming sneered:
“Now I am just asking my assistants to collect evidence and find out who is behind those officers. Only when we have a clue can we make trouble for them.
“These nobles are really itching for trouble.
"This has something to do with me. Last time, I just asked Prince Jinuofu and his men to compensate for some resources. This made the nobles feel that the knife in my hand was not so sharp anymore."
Catherine hummed a few times: "Why don't you give me a list and I'll do them for you in secret. I do have some friends here who can do the dirty work."
"You?" Yang Ming blinked, "You have your own assassin organization now?"
Catherine smiled but said nothing.
She also wants to seek progress.
After all, he was going to be the leader of the rebel army.
"Also, I have prepared a batch of new mechanical viruses," Catherine said. "I have arranged enough insiders in the Empire's largest mechanical guard final assembly plant, and I will soon have a group of troops... Now, I may need a little help from you."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Just tell me."
"We lack talents in the field of intelligent machines," Catherine said. "We are not very good at controlling intelligent machines, and there are relatively few experts in this field in the entire empire. The forces we are secretly cooperating with are trying to send relevant professionals, but for such an important matter, I definitely cannot give up control of the Mechanical Guard Corps."
Yang Ming thought carefully for a while.
Lu sent a text reminder in time.
"Catherine, do you trust me so much?"
"Yes," Katherine nodded, "unconditional trust, and you are my biggest investor, a bit like a mentor to the core group of our organization."
Yang Ming: …
My boyfriend didn’t become my husband, but instead he became my mentor.
Yang Ming laughed: "Do you mind the intelligent machine?"
"What?"
"I mean, semi-autonomous intelligent machines."
Yang Ming said slowly:
"I have a team doing research in this area. I can send you two experts in intelligent machines. No one knows how to control the mechanical army better than them. They are absolutely loyal to me and there is no risk of rebellion.
"Well, you have no idea what I'm saying. Give me a location and I'll let them come over to meet you."
Catherine frowned and asked, "Are you developing intelligent machines?"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, this doesn't pose any crisis. Like you, my team is also short of talent."
"Well... aren't you afraid that the data they carry will reveal your secrets?"
"I will give them special treatment so that they can maintain their professional talents and loyalty to me, but I will take away some sensitive memory data," Yang Ming said. "This is not a big deal and will not cause any trouble to me. You can use them with confidence. When you find the right human talent, I will take them back."
Catherine moaned softly a few times and quickly nodded in response.
She chatted with Yang Ming for a few more words before hurriedly hanging up the phone, as if she had several secret meetings to go on.
Facing the empty living room, Yang Ming let out a soft sigh.
"Boss, we have selected three excellent omnic experts and will send them out of Dark Star Base 2 soon," Lu asked softly, "Do we really want to take away some of their memory data?"
"Be cautious, the situation is very complicated and hard to tell," Yang Ming said, "Even if we are facing Catherine, the secret of Dark Star must be kept. Soon, she will be the representative of a faction."
"You seem to be feeling a little regretful."
"Catherine is gradually moving away from me," Yang Ming raised his head and let himself collapse on the soft sofa, "I can feel that she has found something more important than experiencing love, but I don't think we will break up."
Lu smiled and said, “Boss, your relationship with Captain Catherine has exceeded the average length of your relationship.”
"Don't think about that anymore."
Yang Ming scratched his head, trying to gather his scattered thoughts again.
"Did the officers confess?"
"Not yet. Due to military protection regulations, we cannot interrogate them directly. We can only listen from the side."
"Who's listening?"
"Hanyin and Hanxiang."
"Have they given back all the skills they learned in the tentacles?" Yang Ming sneered, "Let them use some tricks directly. Send 500 mechanical guards over to seal off the interrogation room."
"Okay, boss... the military actually wants to take them away from Sakaar for interrogation ."
"That's impossible."
Yang Ming said:
"I have already discussed this with Lieutenant General Thomas. I will not target the military, but only the nobles who bribed these low- and middle-ranking officers. Just go ahead and do it.
“On the surface, they want to make a fuss, so we cooperate with them to stage a confrontation.
"Also, spread the word that White Ghost will not let go of any villain who attacks the civilians of the empire, no matter if he is a foreign force or an imperial noble. Use strong words, preferably with some swear words."
"clear!"
Lu's voice disappeared.
Yang Ming thought for a few seconds, sighed slightly, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes for a while.
It's really tiring to be a lord and take care of so many people.
…
"I really didn't expect that I would have to show up for something like this."
Captain Gris looked at his superior in front of him and complained with a dark face.
The warship he was on had arrived near Sakaar and was rapidly approaching the Sakaar spaceport.
The female officer's projection in front of Grace had an awkward smile on her face. "You have the best personal relationship with White Ghost. I was asked to do this. After all, the matter is so serious now, and there are too many aspects involved. Well, forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."
"Why don't I understand?"
Gris sneered:
"Do you think I don't dislike those nobles? You asked me to come and plead for them. Why didn't they think about the consequences when they fired at civilians?"
"What they mean is that the impact of this matter should be controlled," the female officer said solemnly, "Since the public's attention has been attracted by the New Federation CIA, there is no need to stir up resentment and intensify class contradictions."
"Beautiful, big things become small, small things become nothing, impulsive, punish yourself with three cups of wine."
Gris wondered:
"I just don't understand, who is this bastard noble who planned this bombardment of the concert? He was so generous to the military that even our Skywrath Fortress secret forces came to act as peacemakers."
The female officer stared at Grace helplessly: "Do you think it's possible for me to tell you?"
"That's fine," Grace said, "If you don't tell me, I'll just ask someone else. I have a wide network of contacts, especially among female officers. My popularity is definitely a little higher than yours."
The female officer glared at Grace and said, "I haven't settled the score with you about what happened between you and my second aunt yet!"
"I'm much better maintained than you, sir."
"roll!"
The female officer was like an angry lioness:
"Gris! This is an order! Even if it means sacrificing your own body, you must appease the anger of the White Ghost and stop him from investigating this matter!
"You bastard! You're nothing more than a giant interstellar pig!"
Gris clicked his tongue and said, "Sir, your personal conservatism is out of place in today's interstellar civilization... How come you died so quickly?"
Grace grinned, then fell into deep thought.
My goodness, who is the one who attacked his idol this time?
Since the Skywrath Fortress jumped and scared away the queen, the "level" and "status" of their Skywrath Fortress secret forces have risen sharply. They used to be assigned to do dirty work, but now they have transformed into national guardian beasts, cough! National guardian artifacts.
I got here through all the connections.
A prince?
Even from a prince or princess?
Although the princes and princesses cannot interfere in government affairs and cannot meet with ministers, they can still have fun with the nobles. It is hard to say.
Gris looked at the spaceport getting closer and closer, and his face twisted.
Asking him to act as a lobbyist in front of his good brother Hanton would be worse than letting Hanton kick his butt a few times!
Damn, this job is so painful.
"Captain Gris!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the side. It was the middle-aged military officer who followed him from the military, who came to formally negotiate with the White Ghost on behalf of the military.
"Hurry! We have to speed up! According to the response from the ground, they have sent mechanical guards to seal off the interrogation room and are about to torture the officers!
“If someone can’t bear the confession, it will be bad!
"We are protecting Mr. White Ghost. If he goes to confront the mastermind behind this, nothing good will happen to him!"
Grace frowned slightly and wondered, "Do you also know who is behind this?"
"How could I possibly know such secrets?" the officer said with a wry smile, "but the person who sent me here is one of the highest commanders of the Imperial Army."
Gris leaned back.
Did he guess right?
Is there really a prince or princess behind this line?
Well, this is really not worth checking.
Although the princes and princesses have no real power and are the richest group of people in the empire, the person behind them is the emperor. Whether the emperor likes them or not, they are the successors of the emperor's genes.
"Let's go! Go to the tail cabin and get on the airship. We'll go straight down!"
Gris made a prompt decision, and the middle-aged officer immediately agreed and rushed to the tail cabin in a hurry.
Half an hour later.
A single building near the Governor's Palace on the surface of Sakaar .
A large number of mechanical guards have surrounded this place, replacing the original lord's private army.
There were a large number of people around, and everyone knew that the people imprisoned inside were the crew members of Her Highness Daphne's spaceship. And through the spread of some rumors, the news that the comprehensive supply ship had fired at the venue had also spread on Sakaar.
The people did not make any noise, they just watched and watched.
Dozens of men and women in imperial military uniforms were blocked outside the gate by mechanical guards, and each of them looked a little anxious.
Several officers who arrived later were constantly making urgent reports to their superiors.
A hover car passed over the crowd and stopped in front of the villa. The back door of the car opened and Princess Daphne, dressed in a light-colored windbreaker, appeared again, causing some commotion among the crowd nearby.
She tried to approach the villa, but was stopped by several mechanical guards who raised their hands.
The voice of the remote operator came from the mechanical guards: "Sorry, Your Highness, you cannot enter here without the order of our lord."
A maid stepped forward and said, "You have no right to interfere with Her Royal Highness's actions."
"Well, I'm sorry," the operator of the mechanical guard said in a deep voice, "For us, the lord's orders cannot be disobeyed. Please don't embarrass us. We are just some ordinary citizens of the empire."
Daphne nodded slightly, but did not move forward. She just looked at the officers.
These people ran over immediately.
"Your Highness! You are here at last!"
Daphne frowned and asked, "What's the situation?"
"They kicked us out! The two maids Hanyin and Hanxiang went in! They brought some syringes of reagents with them. I'm afraid they're going to torture us to extract a confession!"
"Your Highness, please quickly persuade Mr. Ghost. This matter really cannot be investigated!"
"If this turns into a political incident, it could have a huge impact on our country's public opinion base! Our military will never let go of the nobles who fired at your concert, but this matter cannot be dealt with openly!"
The officers kept talking in low voices.
Daphne pursed her lips slightly. "But why did I hear that if Lord Hanton hadn't been alerted in advance... there would be a laser beam aimed at my stage?"
"This, that should be a misunderstanding. They probably just want to cause a riot."
"Your Highness, please put the overall situation first..."
"I can't interfere with Earl Hanton's decision," Daphne sighed. "You know, because of the gas bomb terrorist attack, he rushed directly into the New Federation border and destroyed the New Federation CIA training base alone. The New Federation didn't even have time to stop him before he returned safely. He will not let go of those nobles who planned the attack."
“But this!”
"ah--"
Suddenly a scream was heard in the villa.
Daphne frowned slightly, and several officers became even more anxious.
Although they had reminded them many times before, no matter whether they participated in the bombardment or not, they should keep their mouths shut, but in this situation, what if the two maids did something technological and cruel...
There was a buzzing sound from above, and two figures came flying over on a hoverboard.
Captain Gris jumped down nimbly, holding the accompanying officer in his hand. When he controlled the flying backpack to land steadily, the officer knelt down directly, turned his head and sprayed out a rainbow.
He is not an ordinary modified body!
But I can't stand this kind of torture!
Grace took off his helmet and shook his messy short hair. When he saw the beautiful Daphne, his eyes lit up. "Wow, I'm so lucky today. I can actually meet the Empire's Diva, the beautiful Daphne. But, what are you doing here?"
Daphne nodded politely, then turned slightly away from the filth beside her.
"Captain Gris!"
An officer rushed forward and said, "You've arrived just in time. Hurry up and persuade Mr. Ghost! His men are resorting to lynching!"
A few more screams were heard in the villa.
Gris clicked his tongue and took a few steps forward before being stopped by the guards.
The operator of the mechanical guards also played a very good hand of moral blackmail: "Sorry, please don't embarrass us, we are just ordinary citizens."
"Don't you know who I am?"
Grace smiled and said, "I am a good friend of your lord. We have killed insects together and dated girls together. We are close friends. Even if your lord is here, he will not stop me from coming in. If you don't believe me, go ask your lord."
"this……"
Grace dodged two mechanical guards and was about to go in with a smile.
Click, click!
Hundreds of laser guns were pointed at Gris, and red warning dots covered Gris' forehead.
"no!"
Grace subconsciously raised his hands:
"It's me! Gris! Stop the torture and let me talk to your lord...Hanton! Hanton! Hanton, where are you? There's something wrong!"
Daphne couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead.
How come this guy who is said to be the best warrior in Skywrath Fortress is so far behind the best warrior in the empire...
At this time, a lazy male voice floated out from the mechanical guard's throat speaker:
"Gris? Who is that? Never heard of him. Get ready to shoot."
Gris almost jumped up.
