Chapter 741: Chop!
Not long after Lloyd left, the hunter also went out, saying he was going to see his old friend.
Although most of his friends were other men from the same fleet, who had been exiled long ago.
But in other departments of the empire, I still have some good friends, but they are few and far between.
Li Yu stayed in the room, boredly watching the progress of his gene chain development, which had reached an astonishing... 2%.
This is because he has been working hard to open up the dimensional world since the end of the war.
According to this time calculation, it will take him at least five years to completely develop the gene chain.
This was even after he used the time difference to weaken the "cooling time" brought about by opening up the dimensional world, and the [Gift of Justice] slightly accelerated the evolution speed.
[Gift of Justice] is powerful, but the higher the life level, the weaker the bonus you enjoy.
Taking all these factors into account, this is already a very fast speed, otherwise the time would have to be at least ten times higher.
This made Li Yu a little depressed, but when he thought of the exaggerated life span of other A-level life forms, he felt it was acceptable.
"Alas... I don't know if No. 3 can get the life equation as soon as possible. Forget it... I can't use it for the time being..."
I scrolled through the system logs and found that there was basically no gain during this period.
"We need to find a way to quickly speed up the development of the gene chain..." Li Yu pondered secretly, and then asked casually: "Peyton, is there any way to speed up the development of the gene chain?"
"For life forms at your level, most conventional methods are useless." Payton shook his head.
In this interstellar space, there is basically no material that can support the rapid evolution of A5-level life forms, and most of it is just a slow and steady process.
It can easily take thousands of years until the soul decays and the body withers.
Although Li Yu had expected this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Just as the two were chatting casually, the doorbell suddenly rang and a holographic screen appeared. On it was a middle-aged man who looked quite majestic, waiting outside the door.
Wearing a well-fitting suit and standing straight.
"Hassans Mozambique..." Li Yu glanced at the visitor's name and couldn't help but look at Payton.
"Looking for you?"
There was a slight ripple in Peyton's eyes. Li Yu felt his surging emotions and probably understood.
After thinking about it, he opened the door and let the man in.
Hassan walked with firm steps, and his emotions could not be seen on the surface. This person's life level was quite high, about A4 level.
Li Yu could only vaguely feel that his emotions were not as calm as they seemed.
As he stepped into the room, he looked at Li Yu. The legendary deeds of this young man immediately came to his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
The descendants of the nobility are already blessed with natural advantages, but even after going through the generations, there are no such people to be found.
After a moment, he reacted and looked at Peyton beside him, with some complicated emotions in his eyes.
The law of the jungle is not only the law of the primeval forest, but also the law of the galaxy.
Payton is a genius, even among the aristocrats who are full of geniuses, he is an absolute genius.
Although he is very young, he has already led many projects, collaborated with other nobles, has his own ideas and abilities, and is quite famous.
Even so, he is still just a branch and cannot possibly get his hands on the position of controller.
Hassans also did not set his sights on him.
Until the other party improved the basic plan of gene matching.
Gene chain medicines for life forms above level A are basically customized. Although the profits are high, the quantities are too small.
The BCDE-level gene chains are their main business. They already have a set of production line processes and basically do not require human intervention.
Payton improved the formulation plan, which greatly saved costs and even increased the success rate by two points from the 90% level.
This is an amazing achievement and it also aroused Hassan's salivation.
So he acted decisively, preventing the information from leaking out at the very beginning and even taking the technology for himself.
As expected, based on this technology, his status in the family soared and he even became the CEO of the Terran Chamber of Commerce.
However, some unexpected situations occurred when silencing the witness.
Payton mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
He tracked for a long time but found nothing. He thought that this guy had accepted the reality and was hiding in some corner of the universe.
I didn't expect to receive news today that Payton is back, and he is back with Long Zun.
According to what Lord Lloyd revealed, the relationship between the two is quite close.
It is said that Payton played a crucial role in Long Zun's rise.
This made Hassanis shocked. Soon after, news came from the family that he had to take the blame and apologize, and it seemed that they had even decided to give up on him.
Payton's emotional reaction was a little abnormal, and his voice was faintly trembling: "Why, if you want technology, do you have to use murderous means?"
Li Yu was not quite sure what happened, and he did not want to uncover Payton's sad past.
However, he believed that as long as the matter did not involve the emperor, no matter what kind of people were affected, he could handle it.
“You don’t understand…” Hassans shook his head.
But technology certainly doesn’t have to be so intense.
However, the cost reduction is too much.
At that time, he was just an insignificant one among the many direct descendants of the Mozambique family, and the cost of 10% of the gene chain was too terrifying for him.
Of course, given his current status, ordinary wealth is meaningless to him.
The benefits he gained from his family in previous years have become a hot potato that could explode at any time, making him unable to sleep or eat.
Emotions flowed in Peyton's eyes and his body was trembling slightly, but he was not good at expressing himself.
Li Yu could sense the emotions surging in his heart, and then asked caringly: "Do you want to kill him?"
Hassans's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Long Zun to ask so directly. He couldn't help but said in a deep voice:
"Your Excellency Long Zun, I am here to express my sincere apologies this time, and I am willing to pay enough benefits to make it up to Peyton."
“At the same time, you will win the friendship of the Mozambique family.”
Although Mozambique was ready to give up on him, the two people in front of him didn't know it, so he planned to use this information gap to find a way to survive.
This is also the reason why he was willing to come here on his own initiative.
He knew that the key to the problem did not lie with Payton, but with Long Zun.
As long as the price he pays can impress Long Zun, it will be enough.
He continued, "Your Excellency Long Zun, this is an old story. Those who have sacrificed should create enough value for those who are still alive."
"There's no need to make a fuss about it. I'm willing to make up for it!"
Li Yu ignored him and just looked at Payton. The main purpose of his inquiry was to find out whether Payton wanted to take it slowly or to be straightforward.
Hassans didn't react on the surface, but he was a little panicked inside. After all, he was just pretending to be confident, and actually no one supported him.
Just as the three of them fell into silence, a slightly cold voice suddenly came in:
"I smell anger, and it's strong..."
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and could clearly feel a high-energy body approaching.
"Your Highness Enius!?"
Hassans was very surprised and didn't know how this person got here.
Ennius?
Li Yu's heart moved slightly and he looked at the other person. She was wearing a scarlet long skirt and a cloak. She had a slim figure and a delicate face, but she didn't look like it was adjusted through genes. She had a unique beauty.
He had heard this name in a previous chat with Lloyd. She was the big sister among the imperial nobles.
"It would be bad if I didn't vent such tremendous anger." Red light flowed in her beautiful eyes, as if a scarlet flower was blooming.
At the same time, a similar red light flashed in Payton's eyes. Then his body stiffened, and his hateful eyes suddenly turned to Hassans. A hoarse voice came out of his throat: "I'm going to kill you!"
His body rushed out suddenly, but seemed to be frozen by an invisible force and could not move at all.
boom!
Axe lights flashed, and a terrifying aura was blowing in the face. The military fortress patrolling outside the imperial capital was the first to detect this excessive energy aura.
A piercing alarm sounded in various unseen facilities, then quickly locked onto this one building.
And then... nothing happened...
The anxious soldiers reported the news to higher levels, but found that the top leaders did not respond at all.
It seems that the building is a taboo place.
Hassans looked horrified as he looked at the giant axe that looked like it was only used by natives in primitive times. He knew it was a Titan artifact.
The axe blade was less than a centimeter away from Enius's delicate neck. Li Yu said indifferently:
"Untie your control. If anything happens to Peyton, you will die."
Enius was not nervous. He touched the axe blade with his slender fingers and said, "I didn't control him. I was just guiding him to release his inner anger. Your Excellency Long Zun overreacted."
The life class gap between Payton and Hassans is too big. If Li Yu doesn't stop him, it is very likely that Payton will die.
Ennius tried to push the axe away, but drops of fiery red blood fell along the axe blade. No one could stop the sharpness of the Titan Axe.
Hassans' expression changed slightly. He knew that there must be countless eyes watching here.
Compared to his affairs, it is obviously more important for Li Yu to hold the Titan Axe on Ennius.
If this matter becomes a big deal, then his matter will seem too small.
And since Li Yu broke up with the Star Empire again because of this, he would naturally not be killed.
"You two, there's no need to be so nervous, Your Excellency Long Zun..." Just as he was about to ease the situation, a beam of axe light came towards him, leaving him almost no time to resist.
Swish!
His body was split in half, and all life was instantly destroyed.
The powerful axe light continued unabated as it broke through the building, only to be annihilated by an invisible force from a long distance away.
"Too much nonsense..." Li Yu's eyes were cold. Ever since Ennius appeared, he was too lazy to talk to this guy anymore.
"So decisive..." A hint of admiration appeared in Enius' eyes, but before he could finish his words, he saw the Titan's axe coming towards him.
This made her face change drastically.
She wanted to escape, but the space around her was blocked, leaving her with almost no chance of escape.
Energy barriers appeared on the surface of her body, but they were useless under the axe and shattered layer by layer.
A thunderous roar seemed to ring in her ears, and her pupils contracted as she stared at the axe blade that was so close.
There was a bloody crack in the middle of her cheek, and blood was flowing down her fair skin.
"No one is stopping me. Aren't you afraid that I will chop you down?" Li Yu muttered, but still retracted the axe that was about to fall.
Ennius' heart was trembling. She had just truly felt the threat of death.
If Li Yu makes another move, the terrifying power of the Titan artifact will tear her to pieces.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She had never had direct contact with Li Yu before.
This time it was just out of curiosity and other things. I originally wanted to use the old way of communication, but I didn't expect Li Yu to play by the rules.
At the same time, the red light in Payton's eyes dissipated, and he returned to normal. He looked at the place where Hassans had just stood, and said silently: "Thank you."
"You're welcome..." Li Yu retracted the Titan Axe. It seemed that although Payton had lost his mind just now, he still had his memory.
"But I was annoyed by his nagging just now, so I killed him directly. If you want to deal with him slowly, you won't have a chance."
"It's okay. Actually, I didn't know how to deal with this matter..." Payton had a complicated expression.
Killing Hassans is of course the best option, but Hassans is a senior member of the Mozambique family after all.
If he killed the other person, he didn't know whether it would cause some bad consequences, which would then affect Li Yu.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu killed Hassan directly, which touched him somewhat.
Ennius calmed down and looked unhappy.
She didn't have any special hobbies, so it was natural that she wouldn't have any feelings for Li Yu after being almost hacked to death by him.
"Your Highness, do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Yu asked with a questioning look, as if what happened just now had not happened.
The blood on Enius's face evaporated, and he regained his exquisite appearance. He said in a cold voice: "I am just curious about Your Excellency Long Zun. Since you are here, I have to get to know you a little bit."
"I didn't expect that His Excellency Long Zun would give me a surprise right from the start."
"Just a joke..." Li Yu looked at Enius and suddenly said, "Oh, I remember, do you have a brother named Shane?"
