Just as the war ca to an end, the process of this war was also announced throughout the Star Ring Alliance. Battles of this scale often would not occur more than a few tis within a year. Therefore, this ti, it could be recorded with special emphasis.
With an absolute advantage in firepower, yet still able to overco a stronger enemy with a weaker force and annihilate the opponent without significant losses, this was enough for the Star Ring Alliance to establish a benchmark. Especially for the Star Ring Company, the effect was like a very good advertisent.
In a very secret location within the far-flung Star Ring Alliance, a young man in a black cloak arrived at an underground chamber. The chamber was set up within a building, but the building was abandoned.
"Sir, may I know if there’s anything you need help with?"
The visitor nodded indifferently, then took out a card, entered a password without speaking, and after verification, the attendant stopped speaking and simply made a beckoning gesture.
The young man quickly entered through the back door and delved deeper into an even more secret subterranean space.
"State your demand," a hoarse voice ca from a pitch-black statue atop a counter.
"My demand is simple, the target is Colonel Du You," the young man was unapologetic.
After a mont of silence, the voice from the statue said, "Colonel Du You is like a sun at high noon now, a hero. Targeting him will co at a great cost, are you sure you want to act against him?"
"I’m sure, but it’s not to kill him. If he died, it would easily be traced back to , which would be disadvantageous for you as well. I need you to curse him, to ensure he completely disappears from the public eye."
"I see, alright, I’ll take on this mission, but regarding the paynt..."
"I understand. It will be a hundredfold the going rate due to Du You’s situation."
The other party did not object, just said, "You may go back now. Once the money is in place, we will begin. Additionally, if you can provide any personal items of Colonel Du You, we can complete it even faster."
"Here, this is his hair. It wasn’t easy to get," the young man said, placing a package in front of the statue. After finalizing the arrangent, the young man left.
In another secret room, several people sat together. "Should we really take action? Du You is a Professional, and he has ties with the Capital University. His influence in the Asia Alliance is not small."
"We’re not killing anyone. Even if they trace it back to us, what of it? Besides, as long as we don’t admit to it, who’s to say it was us?"
"Right, why does that person want to target Du You so badly? It doesn’t seem like they have a direct conflict."
The young man thought he had concealed his identity well, but before they even finished discussing it, his identity was already fully exposed. Most people here were baffled, not understanding what was going on.
"Don’t you know? Well, it’s understandable, this information is actually very secret. We’ve only just learned it ourselves. Do you know why the Blood-colored Empire paid such a high price to attack a small asteroid?"
The crowd shook their heads, looking at their leader. The leader said indifferently, "That’s because the asteroid belt where that small asteroid is located is very special; it’s rich in Andaru Ores." Hearing this na, everyone understood.
"So that’s why. Wait, what about us, should we compete for it?"
"Of course, we should compete. The mission was not to hand Harry Asteroid to them."
Upon hearing about Andaru Ores, the group was excited. Andaru Ores were famous in the Star Ring world, specifically used for manufacturing spaceship engines, indispensable for fifth and sixth tier warships.
This type of ore was extrely valuable, whether for trading with major powers or reducing Crystal Coin expenditure when producing ships in-house. The asteroid belts theoretically belonged to the nearest planets. Now, whoever took control of Harry Asteroid would have the right to develop the asteroid belt; any other developnt would be illegal.
So, to mine without criticism, one had to seize Harry Asteroid.
Those who were confused now understood: if Du You faded from the public’s sight, relying on those major powers, there would be many ways to deal with Harry Asteroid.
But Star Ring Company now intended to establish Du You as an exemplary figure, so under normal circumstances, such a thing could not happen. Hence, the best approach was to strike at Du You personally, to use a special curse.
"However, Colonel Du You is, after all, a Professional and has significant ties to the Capital University. Wouldn’t direct action be inappropriate, and can we really succeed?"
"To ensure a high success rate, we can use so special asures. With Andaru Ores, our developnt in the Star Ring world will see trendous growth. In ti, our influence back on Earth will also increase. He’s just a student, after all; what could go wrong if problems arise, and how would anyone know it was us?"
"About that guy, let’s curse him along with this; here’s one of his hairs," the leader said, taking out a strand of hair. The young man who had co earlier to issue the task had unwittingly left sothing behind as well. Now, everyone felt completely confident.
"Good, let’s begin preparations now. The curse will be over an exceptionally long distance; the Magic Array’s energy will be handled by , and the matter of the divine statue will be left to you, any issues?" one person said to a companion nearby.
"Don’t worry, the divine statue has been ready for a while. Let’s convene on this planet," he said, pointing to a star map. In the next mont, all the figures vanished; those sitting there were not themselves, but holographic images. Holographic technology had developed very maturely in the Star Ring world.
At this mont, Du You was unaware that soone had set their sights on him. Until now, the ones targeting him had all been Professionals; this was the first ti he was targeted by a native. Du You was using a space passage to return ho.
Without a mont’s delay, Du You took the two sisters and headed straight for his own territory, as the Teleportation Array was not yet operational. anwhile, Du You inford Li Minglu of his plans to establish new territory.
Before long, Li ngyao and Xi Qianxue also learned of this. "What, you’re coming over too? Aren’t you busy right now?" Du You was surprised; these two won seed oddly interested in coming themselves."
"Of course we’re busy, but general matters can be delegated to others. This is more important. The developnt of a technological-type territory, if successful, will affect our chances of greater expansion on Earth."
