Capítulo 793: 325 The Noble Victim Delivered to the Door_2
He now kind of wanted to ask his chanical thought body how much dirt she had dug up on the Imperial Nobles during his absence.
Quickly, Prince Kinov struggled to his feet.
The prince walked to a corner with his head down, trembling as he slipped on his formal wear to cover up the fat.
Then he turned his head to look at Yang Ming, cleared his throat, and smiled:
“Honorable Ghost, your prowess is truly impressive; I am sincerely convinced.”
“Is that so?”
Yang Ming squinted and smiled as he gently asked,
“Didn’t you just ask
where your incriminating evidence ca from?”
Prince Kinov walked to the back of the floating sofa, slightly bowed his head, and revealed a humble and graceful smile. “I hope you can enlighten .”
“I could actually say it was given to
by His Majesty to confuse you.”
Yang Ming gazed out the window, observing the prince’s expression through the reflection in the porthole, speaking unhurriedly,
“But I don’t want to flaunt His Majesty’s na anymore.
“I have a technical team; they easily cracked the defense system you spent a fortune arranging, obtaining those accounts and hidden files.
“Have you ever heard the phrase ‘the influence of superiors extends to subordinates’?
“Your behavior has affected your subordinates, and the security projects they crafted for you, including the security system of this battleship, are just as poor in quality as those so-called welfare projects you created for your territorial citizens.”
Prince Kinov was montarily speechless and clenched his fists in anger.
Yang Ming asked, “Do you know what I want to do now?”
“Please instruct.”
“Bring over those dozens of noble leaders,” Yang Ming smiled. “I was just worried about how to revitalize my territory; I didn’t expect so many noble families to enthusiastically help, and I feel a little embarrassed about it.”
Prince Kinov’s mouth twitched wildly.
Now, all he felt was regret and helplessness; why had he bothered Mr. Ghost?
Yang Ming’s mind beca increasingly active.
Levi Sherman had once overthrown a powerful regi, establishing the Sherman Empire, and at that ti, his companion chanical thought body had probably been equally destructive to the enemies.
However, he still had to face the threat of Levi’s remaining companion chanical thought body; Lyu still didn’t dare ‘act recklessly’ within the Emperor Star Circle.
‘Still far from enough.’
…
When Revelle led his elite fleet to the outskirts of Saka Star, an unconventional eting had already concluded on the flagship of Prince Kinov’s fleet.
Yang Ming hadn’t done much, just applied the thod used on Prince Kinov to most of the nobles.
First, make them faint for a photo;
Then wake them and present the evidence of their cris;
Finally, have Prince Kinov enter as the ‘antagonist,’ clarifying that his gathering wasn’t to deal with the White Ghost but to secretly support the White Ghost’s territorial developnt under orders from the Emperor Star.
– This shifted most of the nobles’ anger onto Prince Kinov.
For the few nobles with clean records, Yang Ming let them off, only having Prince Kinov dismiss them.
For the rest, each had dirt on them, and their souls were tainted with filth, which Yang Ming couldn’t easily overlook.
What was needed to develop a territory?
Population, resources, technology.
These nobles who could mobilize private fleets all had rich families behind them, a piece of land, and so Resource Stars.
The nobles had seen the state of Saka Star, and naturally, they couldn’t refuse to assist in its reconstruction.
Yang Ming didn’t demand too much; each family was asked to transport unique resources worth five billion Empire Coins.
– This five billion represented the cost of extracting and producing resources, with transportation, handling, and customs fees not included.
Initially, Yang Ming intended to heavily exploit them.
But he worked out the numbers.
Taking down these families all at once would be like draining a pond to catch fish;
First secure the start-up resources for Saka Star, then see what resources are lacking afterward, and ‘procure’ the corresponding resources from the noble territories accordingly, that was the scientific path to sustainable developnt.
After this sincere eting, a group of nobles dejectedly returned to their fleets.
Most of them appeared confused, having no idea why things had changed so dramatically within just an hour.
Even more so, they didn’t understand where the White Ghost had obtained so many of their well-kept criminal records.
But the fact was, they had collectively fallen into the grasp of the White Ghost, unable to make a move without caution.
Yang Ming waited quietly for half an hour.
Nearly a hundred vessels departed slowly; these were the few nobles dismissed by the prince.
The remaining ships gradually activated their ‘projection warning’ devices, displaying giant words above their hulls.
[Warmly welco the White Ghost to the Saka Star territory.]
[Presenting respects to Mr. Ghost from ancient families.]
[Imperial heroes deserve the support of the noble.]
[The White Ghost is the most handso.]
[We bear no malice toward Mr. White Ghost, we admire Mr. White Ghost.]
And so on.
Yang Ming looked at these cosmic signboards and displayed a satisfied smile.
The Rasoga family’s fleet arrived belatedly.
Revelle stood before the main screen of his flagship, observing the screen filled with large ‘signboards,’ his forehead lined with dark streaks.
This…
He turned to look at the old steward, frowned, and asked, “Is this normal?”
“Normal.”
The old steward raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat, with the scene of Yang Ming silencing the prince still vivid in his mind.
