Chapter 159: Chapter 79: Two-Star Anti-Company Elent

The approach Jiuyue had taken proved correct—the kidnapper did indeed show up at the bathhouse. However, what was completely unexpected was that disagreents erupted within the kidnapper gang, leading to Mr. Li De suffering a betrayal, leaving not even a body behind.

Now, here cos the problem.

The diamond-faced minister "committed suicide" on the rooftop of the Erald building, and Mr. Li De disappeared from Yu Quan Bathhouse. These two locations shared one thing in common.

Both were key parts of the Third Prince’s industries, which he used to entertain envoys from beyond the heavens.

Duan Mingyuan felt that even Mouri Kogoro could pinpoint the criminal suspects in these two cases.

If the person manipulating Li De from behind the scenes was the Third Prince, then everything seed to make sense. This was also why Li De dared to casually visit such a public place as the bathhouse after having killed a minister and kidnapped an envoy from the Red Star Chamber of Comrce, in their view, it was just an extra reward from their employer.

The famous Yu Quan bath service also provided food and beverages free of charge.

But it took lives.

At that mont, the Third Prince also arrived at the Yu Quan Bathhouse with an anxious look.

"I heard that a space felon slipped into the bathhouse?"

He imdiately went up to Cai Hui and inquired, "How are the other envoys? Is anyone hurt?"

"... No."

Cai Hui’s brows were knitted tightly, clearly disgusted by the Third Prince’s act. Anyone with eyes could see that the Third Prince couldn’t be uninvolved, but the stance of the Cosmic Relations Coordination Departnt prevented her from interrogating a potential heir to a planetary throne.

Accusing a prince of hiring assassins to kidnap envoys from other planets was a serious allegation, and without sufficient evidence at hand, she could only maintain her silence.

The Third Prince was different from his elder brothers; although he had many dealings with the company in the business world, he was not a devotee of Universe Company like Ying Tian. Otherwise, with his skills, if he could gain the support of the strategic departnt, he would also beco a strong contender for the throne.

"That’s good to hear, that’s good!"

The Third Prince breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the negligence of the bathhouse’s security personnel. I’ll discipline them afterward."

Huh?

The attending head of security was incredulous upon hearing the Third Prince ntion himself.

All he could think was that it was fortunate the space fugitive, known as Li De, had used a false identity; otherwise, had he really gotten into a conflict with him, his body would probably be ice-cold by now.

The bounty on that man’s head was a whopping 72 million, ranking him in the top five most wanted criminals across the entire Star Zone. Just a quick online search would yield pages of news. Up until today, Li De had evaded Universe Company’s dragnet eleven tis—a true hardened criminal.

He fight against Li De?

He was hired as a security guard for a leisure establishnt in the Imperial Court, not as an interstellar bounty hunter!

"You can’t fully bla the head of security, though. After all, Li De had been evading the company’s security departnt for so long and had extrely strong counter-surveillance skills."

Out of sympathy for the head of security, Duan Mingyuan tried to smooth things over, which reminded him of his own experience of being asked to et unreasonable demands by a supervisor in his previous work life.

On this matter, he supported no one and was the purest bystander.

Grateful for the support, the head of security imdiately sent a look of thanks Duan Mingyuan’s way.

The captain felt that workers around the world should unite like this and stand up against unscrupulous bosses!

"What Mr. Mingyuan said does make so sense."

The Third Prince stroked his chin, "Now that the kidnapper is dead, and no one else is injured, you can go back and write a self-criticism, and we will consider this matter closed. Chief Cai Hui, what do you think of this solution?"

No way!

This B is muddling things up!

Cai Hui still had many questions that hadn’t been resolved in her mind.

Why did an interstellar fugitive with a bounty of 72 million Bei die quietly in the compartnt, where did the kidnapped envoy from the Red Star Chamber of Comrce go, and, more importantly, the purpose of the Third Prince for hiring soone to kidnap them.

According to the intelligence held by the company, the Third Prince didn’t have skilled individuals capable of easily killing an interstellar fugitive.

However, before she could ask her superiors for instructions and get the company’s approval, she couldn’t lay a hand on the Third Prince.

"Let’s leave it at that."

Cai Hui replied curtly and left the bathing area with Tian Yun.

After the Third Prince had dismissed the people around him, he then said to Duan Mingyuan, "I apologize for the inconvenience. It’s your first ti visiting Yu Quan Bathhouse and to think you would encounter such an incident. As an apology, I hope you can accept this."

The Third Prince took out a docunt and handed it to Duan Mingyuan.

"What is this?"

"Yesterday, Mr. Mingyuan, you ntioned that your visit was aid at rebuilding the Royal Hunting Court. This is the guild registration docunt I had soone find for you. As long as it’s processed by the Guild Managent Bureau, they shouldn’t make things difficult for you. However, according to the guild’s requirents, you need to et the most basic standards when processing the docunts."

Duan Mingyuan hadn’t expected that the Third Prince would bring the registration docunt overnight, having said yesterday that it was difficult and he didn’t want to offend the company because of it.

However, compared to what he had done and his attitude towards Cai Hui, this was trivial.

If we’re talking about offending the company, beating them to the punch by killing their target before they could act was enough to thoroughly offend them.

"I know that Mr. Mingyuan might still have many doubts in his heart, but now is not the ti. I assu you’ve also noticed the chaos within the Imperial Court, and with your caution, you would not believe any person’s one-sided story."

The Third Prince hinted at sothing with his words, which was as good as confirming Duan Mingyuan’s suspicions.

After a pause, the Third Prince added, "I believe you are soone who can bring change to this chaos. Therefore, I hope you can make your judgnt following your own heart, without the interference of anyone else."

Duan Mingyuan put away the docunt, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

What was it he said?

This Third Prince was definitely a deeply hidden anti-company faction mber.

Once you get involved with such a person, when "Heaven" sends down Heaven’s Punishnt, they will also have to bear the brunt together.

Luckily, so do they.

Following the principle of auto chess, when three deeply hidden anti-company faction mbers gather together, they can combine into a two-star anti-company mber with a passive skill that allows them to immune to Heaven’s Punishnt once.

"By the way, the director of the Cosmic Relations Coordination Departnt has arrived, and tonight the palace will hold a welco ceremony. The power holders of the Imperial Court will be present. I hope you will also attend as this may give you an insight into the current environnt within the Imperial Court."

"Mr. Mingyuan."

Jiuyue tugged at Duan Mingyuan’s arm from behind, "This kind of banquet sounds pretty boring."

"I forgot to ntion, the Chamber of Comrce has recently imported a rare Bai Yu chicken from another planet. Adult Bai Yu chickens are over ten ters in length, and for this welco for Director Qing Hua, we will serve this Bai Yu chicken as the main dish at the banquet..."

"Looks like we have to go now."

Jiuyue wiped the corner of her mouth, making a slurping sound, "After all, we’ve just arrived at the Imperial Court, and it wouldn’t be a bad thing to learn more about the environnt here."
