Chapter 81 Swallowing Black
After reluctantly bidding farewell to the gentle Miss Windsor, Yang Ming felt refreshed and walked much more briskly.
When he walked out of the magnificent elevator, two groups of people immediately stared at him.
One group was bodyguards from the Chancellor of the Exchequer's residence.
Yang Ming smiled at them.
The other wave was the heavily made-up mama-san Kalume, with 026 and several trusted subordinates.
Yang Ming's brows immediately frowned.
——Kalmi brought 026 here, which shows that he was full of scheming.
"Mr. Yang Ming!"
Kalimi hurried over and almost threw herself into Yang Ming's arms.
The circles around her eyes were dark, and she looked very haggard. She kept saying in a hoarse voice:
“I apologize for the violence last night.
“Oh, this happened in a venue I invested in, and it was my biggest work mistake in recent years!
"I really didn't know that gang would suddenly attack you! I don't know what blind job they took! I mean, their choice was terrible!"
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you in a hurry to see me just to distance yourself from me?"
“No, no, no,” Kalmi waved her hands quickly, the jewelry hanging on her body jingling, “You are an existence that is unattainable to people like me, how could I possibly think of hurting you!”
"In that case, I can give you a chance to make amends."
Yang Ming took the initiative to move forward and subconsciously wanted to hook his arms around Kalomi's neck, but then he realized that she was a plump, mature woman and it would be best for him not to have any physical contact with her.
After all, I have a girlfriend.
Yang Ming patted Kalmi's neck gently and said slowly:
"Please help me make an appointment with the leader of this gang. I have to go to the palace to stand guard now. When I get off work, I will send you a message to arrange a meeting address. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Yang Ming," Kalmi said with a pale face.
When Yang Ming's palm slapped her neck, Kalomi felt like the god of death was kissing her neck.
The fear that came from nowhere made her brain confused.
Yang Ming glanced at the somewhat nervous 026 and said calmly, "Also, give this little girl more salary and bonus. She has made an invaluable contribution to the fact that you can stand and talk to me today."
026 seemed to be hesitant to speak, and when he looked up he could only see Yang Ming’s back.
Kalmi let out a long sigh and almost collapsed on the ground.
"Those damned pigs! Have their brains shrunk? I am going to suffer the same fate as them!"
She started to complain incessantly, and 026 was a little at a loss.
When Yang Ming left the hotel, his eyebrows raised slightly.
He was vaguely aware that someone was staring at him.
Yang Ming pretended to look casually at the building opposite, but the windows of the building were arranged closely like fish scales, making it difficult for him to find the target point.
"Lü, did you notice?"
Yang Ming muttered.
"I didn't detect anything unusual in the information network, boss."
Yang Ming looked at the building in front of him again and whispered, "Monitor the status of my car at all times. We must consider the possibility that the enemy will use all means."
"Boss, please confirm the enemy's set range first."
Yang Ming thought for a moment: "Everyone except me."
"It has been set."
…
On the way to the palace, Yang Ming talked to Edwang on the phone for a while.
Since the third prince has already taken action, it would be reasonable for Edwang to take any retaliatory action.
In fact, Adwan's counter-retaliation action had already begun last night, and the target was the staff member who implemented the "Break the Leg Plan".
The specific operation was carried out by Edwang's men, which basically involved investigating the other party's criminal record. If there was any, they would arrest them directly, and if there was nothing, they would fabricate some false evidence to start a lawsuit.
These are common tactics used in politics.
Yang Ming's revenge was much simpler. He asked Edwang for a guard team of 100 people and an empty warehouse, and asked the guard team to gather in the warehouse and wait for his orders.
There was no way he would let go of the local gang with the interesting name.
Yang Ming was also a bit careless when he punched in for work at the palace.
He stayed at the training ground of the Fourth Battalion of the Fourth Regiment of the Guards for a while, and seeing these imperial soldiers lifting weights enthusiastically, he went to the command platform of the Guards.
Yang Ming was also quite concerned about what Windsor had said before.
——The old emperor might summon him when he was on duty.
Unfortunately, Yang Ming drank tea with General Felimon for the entire afternoon, but he did not receive any orders from the old Robot Emperor. Instead, he had a very pleasant chat with the old general.
At 6:30 in the evening, I clocked out.
As soon as Yang Ming left the palace, he received a message from Kalmi.
She has made an appointment with the gang management team of the Orange Coffee Sugar Gang to meet tonight, and the other party will resolve the differences of opinion between them with the most sincere attitude.
Yang Ming thought for half a minute and sent several messages back and forth with Kalmi.
Soon, Kalomi chose a nightclub she ran, and Yang Ming set a "date" time at 7:30 pm.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Ming sent an order to the leader of the 100-man guard team, asking them to arrive near the nightclub at 7:35 and bring all the weapons they could.
He never thought about negotiating with the other party.
The engine noise of the 'Monster' became more and more frantic, as if foreshadowing another chaotic battle tonight.
Lu reminded: "Boss, I suggest you take an injection of gene stabilizing fluid in advance. If you keep fighting for a long time, your body will secrete an induction factor. When the concentration of biological information accumulates to a certain value, it will interfere with your nervous system."
"Okay, my little butler, you are so thoughtful."
Yang Ming complained and parked the hovercraft in an empty corner. He reached under the seat and took out an electrically powered metal injection.
He skillfully pulled open his sleeves, aimed at his shoulder socket where his skin was the most vulnerable, and pressed the button of the metal injection. With a slight humming sound, the alloy spike pierced into the shoulder socket, and the golden gene stabilizing fluid inside was quickly injected .
Yang Ming groaned and let out a light breath, his desire to fight reduced a lot.
"Lil, what is Kalmi's family background like?"
Lu said softly: "It is impossible to calculate in detail for the time being, but the part that can be counted is probably worth hundreds of millions of New Federation coins."
"Does she have any weaknesses?" Yang Ming asked with interest.
Lu muttered quietly: "Boss, are you really not interested in mature women? In every sense of the word, this is a rich woman."
Yang Ming suddenly felt a little impulsive.
Transmitting back the urge of Feinan to kick her main brain.
"Be serious! Show me the battle those gangsters have prepared!"
"Okay boss."
A live projection immediately appeared on the center console.
That was Kalmi's "place" on the edge of the city, a six-story independent building.
At this moment, there were hundreds of figures hiding inside and outside the building, carrying more than twenty laser guns.
On the top floor of the building, Kalmi was arguing fiercely with several middle-aged men and women.
Yang Ming listened to the intercepted information for a while and roughly understood that Kalmi asked them to stop messing around and asked them to sincerely apologize to Yang Ming, but the top leaders of this gang wanted to regain the face they lost yesterday tonight.
"They are already threatening my life," Yang Ming murmured.
Lu asked: "Do you want to take it down directly?"
Yang Ming held the square rudder in one hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Fighting and killing is not our goal. We want to make money...Lv, go talk to Kolev first and ask him if he has any way to get a planetary transformation system. I have a hunch."
"Premonition?" Lu's voice was full of curiosity.
Yang Ming smiled and transmitted the information of the target building to the leader of the Second Prince's guard.
"My feeling is that we can earn some starting capital for Dark Star tonight."
Law is a little unclear.
Yang Ming set the hover car to automatic driving, then he rushed to the back seat, grabbed a box from the trunk, and started tinkering with his equipment.
There is no need to expose your own strength when dealing with such local gangs.
He is now the Second Prince's confidant and a quasi-major in the Luofeng Royal Guard. He can definitely do some reasonable... technological work.
The Royal Guard's black standard combat training uniform (with information integration helmet);
The standard laser rifles used by the Royal Guards;
Tactical goggles;
An ordinary trigger-type single-soldier full-body energy shield.
"Boss, are you going to kill the remains of Po Su?"
Yang Ming was like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Don't mention her to me! That thing is an ancient god in human form!"
The bullied Lu agreed pitifully.
7:30 in the evening.
Yang Ming, fully armed, showed up on time at the ground floor of Kalomi's nightclub.
His 'special forces soldier' look cast a shadow of doubt on the hearts of the gang members hiding around him.
Three minutes later, Yang Ming arrived at Kalume's office on the top floor. Under the gaze of a group of men and women, he swaggered and sat down on Kalume's leather chair with his legs resting on the edge of the table.
Right in front of him, the gang leader seemed to want to maintain his aura. He pursed his lips, stepped forward, and punched the desk in front of Yang Ming.
boom!
The tabletop vibrated slightly, and the guy's white and tender fist turned slightly red.
"You are just a captain, how dare you!"
Yang Ming said calmly into the intercom on his shoulder: "Hit the shoulder."
call out!
There was a faint light flickering on the roof of the building opposite . Purple high-energy rays penetrated the special glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a line of blood immediately spurted out from the shoulder of the man in front of Yang Ming.
“Ah! Ah——”
The gang leader shouted with a trembling voice.
The group of people in the room were stunned at first, then hurriedly grabbed their weapons.
Yang Ming glanced at them , and his cold eyes and undisguised threat made this group of people stand still like frozen sculptures.
Except for Kalmi, a light purple targeting mark appeared on everyone's head.
The powerful engine sounds of military hovercrafts could be heard outside the window. Searchlights shone into the house, and more than a dozen armored hovercrafts descended from the sky - it would be more appropriate to call them small ground-based airships.
Yang Ming put down his legs that were across the table, leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on the table, and a gentle smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yang Ming, an officer of the Imperial Guard, deputy captain of the Fourth Battalion of the Fourth Guard Regiment, with the military rank of captain.
“I agreed to meet you today just to resolve this matter directly.
"You took my money and asked for my leg. Now you are trying to put pressure on me and defy the authority of the Royal Guard. According to the laws that the Empire may not have yet, I have the right to execute you on the spot.
"Don't you understand what it means to execute the law on the spot? That's it."
Yang Ming raised his pistol, aimed at a high-ranking gang thug who was labeled a murderer by the law, and pulled the trigger.
A light blue light flashed across, and a coin-sized charred hole appeared on the man's head.
Everyone in the room looked pale.
Some people wanted to touch the laser guns in their arms, but blood spurted out from their shoulders and several corresponding holes appeared on the window glass.
"Do you understand what it means to be executed on the spot?" Yang Ming asked.
The people in front of him nodded continuously while trembling.
"Very good," Yang Ming put down his gun, "In addition to being an officer, I am also a businessman. Perhaps we can negotiate in another way tonight. How about we do a deal?"
"Sir, you, you say."
"Use your money to buy your life."
…
"Planetary transformation system? A complete set?"
In the villa, Kolev looked at the young lawyer in front of him and asked cautiously, "Are you really determined to do this?"
Xiao Lu tilted his head: "Why do you do that?"
"Hey! Don't think I'm old and confused!"
Kolev glared and shouted, fortunately Lu had turned on the shielding system in advance .
"There's only one situation where you need to use the planetary transformation system, and that's if you want to build a large base on a barren planet! You want to build... a civilization of mechanical thinking bodies, right?"
Lu said sternly: "This is just a backup plan, dear Uncle Hatton, the boss needs multiple insurances."
"You think it's too difficult to just pull an administrative star from the mouth of the Sherman Empire, right?"
Kolev's voice calmed down.
He stood there thinking quietly.
"Honestly, Lu, I kind of like my current life. It's very fulfilling to compete with these nobles. I don't want to be a sinner of humanity. Every time an omnic crisis breaks out, many people die and a large amount of resources are wasted."
Lu explained: "The so-called Omnic Crisis will not occur on the planet that the boss wants to operate, I promise."
"Come on," Kolev said firmly, "No one can guarantee such things, not even you."
"But……"
"I can help you," Kolev said. "Whether or not an Omnic Crisis breaks out is not that important to me. I don't have such a high moral bottom line. But there is one thing. I can't pay for it. You have to raise the money yourself."
Kolev smiled smugly after he finished speaking.
This kind of transformation system, even if it is second-hand, is extremely expensive on the black market, almost equivalent to the cost of building a supply ship of the same size.
Yang Ming’s current net worth is at most a few million federal coins, and he simply can’t afford it!
As expected, Lu began to look embarrassed.
But after more than ten seconds, Lu blinked, and two "money" symbols suddenly appeared in his eyeballs.
"The money has been secured," Lu laughed, "just now. Get ready to set off, old Captain Kolev."
nailed it?
Kolev's old face was full of confusion.
