In fact, Xiaoga Yexiong was a clone cultivated from the genetic blueprint of the Family Head. However, certain aspects of the Family Head's genes detrintal to a Professional's developnt had been modified.
Xiaoga Yexiong's 'talent' far exceeded that of the Family Head. At that ti, the Family Head was already at the Seventh Energy Level, and under his personal guidance, Xiaoga Yexiong progressed rapidly, officially reaching the Seventh Energy Level two years ago.
Human cloning is explicitly forbidden by all major Star Nations, including the Confederation. However, such prohibitions are virtually aningless to the powerful. Almost every influential family possesses such clones, either keeping them deeply secret or, like the Xiaogasa Family, concealing their existence with a pretext.
Bernice displayed a satisfied smile and then said to Ding Zhou, "Your Excellency, we have another gift for you."
"Let's take a look at this video first."
With a flick of his finger in mid-air, a holographic projection began to play.
It was a dilapidated stadium, small in scale and crudely equipped. At its center stood a huge iron cage, electrified with high-voltage current. Old wooden bleachers, packed with people, surrounded it. Many spectators were even standing on the seats, roaring at the arena.
Inside the cage, two giant beasts were fighting; one of which was an Energy Gathering chanical Species, a rarity in these beast battle competitions!
It was a nine-headed giant serpent, over 200 ters long. Each of its massive heads possessed unique features: so bore sharp, knife-like horns; so could fire energy beams from their eyes; and others held magnetically-controlled laser swords in their mouths.
Each head had its own special thod of attack.
Its opponent was an absolute behemoth, nearly 300 ters tall. Yet, under the nine-headed serpent's assault, it lasted less than ten minutes before collapsing with a thunderous crash, its blood pooling into a small pond within the iron cage.
The crowd erupted in cheers as the nine-headed serpent's owner erged, waving to the surrounding audience.
He was a down-and-out middle-aged man. His life of constant hardship had prematurely aged him, etching deep wrinkles onto his face and leaving his eyes dim and gloomy. Victory seed to bring him little stimulation or encouragent. After thanking the audience, he left the arena with his beast.
The video ended there.
Bernice said, "This genius was discovered in a low-tier league. Due to a lack of funds and missing the registration deadline, this talented contestant couldn't sign up for this season's beast battle league. So for now, he can only struggle in these garbage-tier leagues."
Bernice continued with a smile, "What do you think? Does he have any hope of defeating Chen Gu and his Combat Rooster?"
Ding Zhou nodded in satisfaction. "Excellent. We'll strike at Chen Gu from all sides, leaving him utterly defeated and unable to recover!"
Bernice said, "Our investigation revealed that the Chen family isn't wealthy. They only own a moderately-sized company, 'Chen's Biotech.' An enterprise like that couldn't possibly support the advancent of both Chen Jixian and Chen Gu."
"Chen Gu has been able to keep advancing only because he's a star player in the beast battle leagues."
"But if he falls from grace, he won't be able to make enough money to buy the various resources needed for advancent—he really will be unable to recover from that!"
Inside a Bureau of Mystic Security maglev car, Gong Shuxu opened a series of files, displaying them for Chen Gu.
"Take a look at these first. They were all compiled by the Digital Group."
Chen Gu glanced at them and imdiately noticed a problem. "These... are all outside our borders?"
Gong Shuxu smiled. "Yes. The four most recent attacks all occurred within Star State territory."
"These include two moss virus attacks, an ard raid on a military target, and an attack to seize a civilian satellite."
"The Star State suffered trendous losses, especially from the two moss virus attacks. Officially, the Star State announced them as ordinary incidents with thirty-seven and forty casualties, respectively. However, we know the death toll in each attack exceeded 2,000!"
"Furthermore, according to our intelligence, the moss virus may have spread. This could lead to endless problems within the Star State."
Chen Gu was surprised. "They shifted their targets to the Star State?"
Those bastards from the Star State had just committed such heinous cris on Gugelota Star, and now the Digital Group was punishing them?
It felt sowhat surreal.
Gong Shuxu continued with a smile, "We've received a confidential letter from the Rights Association of the Star State, hoping we could share intelligence about the Digital Group with them."
Chen Gu snorted coldly. "So they just want to freeload on our experience and intelligence."
Gong Shuxu shrugged. "Exactly. The Star State has always been shalessly thick-skinned like that."
"What does the Director-General think?" asked Chen Gu.
"The Director-General has shelved the confidential letter and hasn't given them any response," Gong Shuxu replied.
Chen Gu stroked his chin. "Is she planning to wait and drive up the price?"
Gong Shuxu shook his head, not daring to speculate on the Director-General's intentions. Chen Gu then asked, "Apart from the Star State, are there any activities of the Digital Group in other Star Nations?"
"There have been so incidents in smaller Star Nations. It also seems there are signs of activity within the Freedom Alliance. However, they don't appear to be fully prepared yet, as there hasn't been any significant action so far."
By the ti they finished their discussion, the car had arrived at the headquarters building.
Qing Ruyan was waiting for him in the parking lot. Upon seeing them exit the car, she said urgently, "The Director-General wants to see you."
Chen Gu thought he was being summoned to give a report about the Gugelota Star case and imdiately followed Qing Ruyan upstairs to the Director-General's office on the top floor.
