Chapter 48: Tricking Tu Rui
Emperor genes... Every imperial noble has their genes specially adjusted Appearance, weight, height and so on are just the basics.
The adjustments will continue until birth. Of course, the genetic adjustments will vary due to different identities and statuses, but as time goes by, they will become extremely powerful.
This is the emperor gene.
Eliminating the emperor's genes is equivalent to expelling from the nobility, and this punishment is only used when very serious crimes are committed.
This is common knowledge that everyone in the Star Empire knows. After all, they are high-ranking emperors and nobles, and ordinary citizens may hardly see them in their lifetime. Therefore, these strange stories are still widely circulated.
"Even if it is released, there should be a special planet. Why would it come to Tianhuang Star, a deserted planet?" Mo Duo frowned.
"Oh?" Catfish looked at Moduo in surprise: "Mr. Moduo knows a lot."
"This is what we all wonder, how did an exiled imperial noble come here?"
The catfish spread his hands, seemingly having no answer to this question.
This is a big trouble.
This sentence crossed everyone's mind. How could the emperor and nobles come here quietly? Who knows what conspiracy is behind it.
"So, Mr. General asked us to come here?" Li Yu asked with some tentativeness.
"I hope you can go and rescue that imperial noble." Lenny grinned, his mouth full of fine teeth.
"We?" Li Yu was also a little surprised. Asking them to rescue the emperor and nobles, there is no one left in the Starry Empire?
"This news has not been completely leaked out, but due to Dark Star's actions, the attention of the interstellar society has been attracted, so the Star Empire is also in a difficult position to act."
Catfish explained that it was nothing more than a scandal, and if it got out, the emperor and nobles would lose face.
"Then we have no right to refuse." Li Yu said with a smile.
The catfish stroked his beard and said nothing, but this was already an attitude.
"And what about the reward?"
"Everyone has second-class citizenship," Catfish said.
Citizens of the Star Empire are divided into three classes. Ordinary people are basically third-class citizens. Although their welfare is good, it is nothing compared to the second-class, let alone the first-class.
"Okay." Li Yu nodded. They had no right to bargain at all.
"When to set off?"
"Mr. Li Yu is really straightforward..." Catfish clapped his hands: "Let's set off immediately."
"I will deploy you near the capital. The DarkStar people will be allowed in but not out."
Li Yu suddenly remembered and asked, "What is the purpose of Dark Star? Is it also for this imperial noble?"
"Well..." The catfish shook his head. His head was connected to his body, and his neck was almost invisible. "I don't know what those predators were thinking."
Catfish obviously had some reservations about them, but this was inevitable as they were not direct descendants of the Terran Chamber of Commerce.
Then they discussed some details, such as how to find the emperor, what characteristics he had, and where he was.
The catfish’s answer was very clear and decisive: I don’t know.
According to him, he had just received the news not long ago and knew no more than they did.
The aircraft assigned to the Terran Chamber of Commerce is a ten-meter-long civilian aircraft.
The shape is narrow in front and wide in the back, streamlined, similar to a water drop, but with sharp edges and corners.
There are four thrusters in total, which can be adjusted in angle and are quite flexible, allowing them to travel inside the planet.
The hunter was still a little confused when he boarded the spaceship. It was not until he was secured by the safety device that he reacted.
"That's not right. What does it have to do with us if you have the ability to get involved in this mess?" He was just stunned by the big news and just reacted now.
"Hmph..." Li Yu sneered and glanced at the staff driving the aircraft: "What kind of strength do you have? You don't know anything. We are just cannon fodder."
"Bait to muddy the water."
There was not a single truth in the catfish's mouth just now. What about second-class citizen and just got the news? Li Yu did not believe a word of it.
This imperial nobleman is definitely at the center of this storm.
"Are we just going to die like this?" The hunter swallowed.
"What else?" Li Yu glanced at him and said, "That catfish didn't give us a chance to refuse. Do you believe it?"
"If anything goes wrong with us, this craft will explode immediately."
"Damn... Why do all the bad things happen to me? I can't go back to the happy life in the garbage dump anymore." The hunter looked miserable, as if everything started when he got on this kid's pirate ship.
This was the first time that Li Yu saw the real Tianhuangxing buildings. They had been in a garbage dump before, and he entered the black market after coming out of the garbage dump.
The silver-white skyscrapers are hundreds or even thousands of meters high, towering into the sky, covered with layers of metal scale-like things that can shrink at will.
Normally, this place would be filled with flying vehicles, but now only the Dark Star fleet was moving slowly, with the cross-shaped spacecraft hovering over the Governor's Mansion.
They crossed the blockade and stopped in the suburbs. The Dark Star fleet turned a blind eye to them and there was really no wanton killing.
Li Yu and the other two got off the boat. The air here was very fresh, and there were all kinds of green plants that Li Yu had never seen before.
The hunter looked around and whispered, "Since no one is guarding us, we might as well run."
"Run? Where to?" Li Yu glanced at him.
"Find a place to hide and wait for the reckoning later?"
The hunter was choked and laughed awkwardly.
"Anxing allows people to enter but not exit. I'm afraid it's intentional to let people who are looking for the emperor's nobles in to save their time," Modo speculated.
Li Yu thought about it and thought of this possibility: "Who cares? Let's find an ally first."
Opening the smart terminal, he initiated a call request to Tu Rui.
"Manager Tu, I have some unfortunate news for you. I betrayed you and gave the evidence of your purchase of the troll's heart to Sieg."
Li Yu opened the lightning strike, directly causing 10,000 points of damage to Tu Rui.
"What!" Tu Rui stared with eyes wide open, bloodshot.
"Didn't you already promise me..."
"I know... I know..." Li Yu waved his hands casually: "I promised you not to betray you, but someone threatened me with his life, what can I do."
Tu Rui's expression flickered and he fell silent. The two of them were not friends to begin with. It would be better to rely on [Anxing] than on Li Yu.
In fact, buying organs is not a big deal at all, but Tu Rui bought the organs of his own race.
This means that one troll heart represents the death of a troll, which is a serious crime for an interstellar society based on racial solidarity.
What he feared was the pressure from within the troll race.
"That old goat Sieg will definitely use this matter to threaten you." Li Yu sighed.
"Are you here just to laugh at me?" Tu Rui said in a cold tone.
"No, I'm here to offer you a chance as a second-class citizen. Can I save you from all this pressure?"
