On the way to the airport.
Lu Yao flipped through his phone and noticed that Elder Master Qi had called. It must be about the findings of the "investigation of the Star Key's origins".
The Elder Master said he would ask a major auction house's antique investigator to look into it. These people are quite professional and would ticulously research which famous people used the antique and what notable historical events it went through as a ans to market and increase its value.
After picking up the phone, Elder Master Qi's hearty and sonorous voice ca through:
"Lu Yao, you really are a busy man. I've got the results of what you wanted to check, should I send it to your email on the phone?"
"Sure, thank you, Elder Qi!"
"No need for thanks, just rember my Qi family for any treasure you co across!"
After exchanging pleasantries and hanging up, Lu Yao started to examine the "Investigation Report" that was sent over:
The "Star Key" first appeared in Derek City, Mali State, in the Star Alliance Country.
It went through 2 owners: Ole Bjorne, and Zhang Xin.
After Ole Bjorne died of illness, all his belongings were auctioned off by his relatives; Zhang Xin acquired the "Star Key".
~~~~~~~~
On the surface, there seed to be no issues, but there was one thing these two had in common—they both developed cancer!
"Zhang Xin got cancer, and even I, who took over last, was not spared... this surely isn't a coincidence!"
The auction house's investigation followed formal procedures, focusing on the antique itself, hence it did not delve into personal histories.
The secret of the Star Key had only begun to unravel.
Professional tasks should be left to professionals. Lu Yao called Li Jin and his wife, asking for the computer-savvy Li Jin's help.
Once the call went through, Lu Yao stated his purpose, "Brother Li, do you have the ans to help look into sothing? Use 'unconventional thods' to dig a bit deeper."
Li Jin's yawning voice transmitted, as if he had just woken up, "That's easy, I know a few hackers who wouldn't hesitate to hack into the Star Alliance's Departnt of Defence for money."
"Thanks, I'll send the stuff to your email."
Lu Yao forwarded the investigation report and also transferred 2 million to Li Jin.
A while later, an exclamation from Li Jin resounded, "Lu Yao, this is too much! The thing you're asking about isn't so national secret, this much money isn't necessary!"
"Just take it, I haven't yet paid Sister Zhao for the design fee."
At this point, Zhao Ya's voice ca through, "Your Battle Armor design is almost ready. But... it might be a bit different than what you expected, haha. Its weight is almost 1.5 tons, about the sa as a small car."
With the strength of ten thousand jin in the Blood-Exchange Realm, Lu Yao could easily handle this weight, "No problem, Sister Zhao. Don't worry about the weight, just make sure the performance is up to standard."
~~~~~~~
Arriving at the airport, Lu Yao chartered a "Gulfstream" plane to the city where the defense exhibition was being held.
The flight duration was 6 hours. Lu Yao did not waste any ti and began pondering over the 'Detailed Explanation of Crumbling Energy'.
This was Lin Zhongqing's consultation fee from the Jingyuan. It did not contain specific moves but was about the application of force and Inner Breath, which could greatly increase destructive power.
While he was studying it, he sensed malice through his Divine Sense Perception. At that mont, the plane secretly changed course and was quietly heading to a Star Alliance Military Base in Goryeo!
anwhile, his phone vibrated once; he had received a text ssage from an unknown number:
"I'm Li Lei. The police ca to my door, saying you're a terrorist and are wanted by the international police."
"International police?"
Lu Yao opened the official Interpol website and found his photograph on the hopage, listed under "Interpol Red Notice".
This was the highest level of notice, and he was ranked number 1, complete with a red "WANTED·PERSONS" label.
Upon clicking in, it was an arrest warrant issued by the Star Alliance Country, claiming that Lu Yao was involved in multiple terrorist attacks and requesting extradition of this "fugitive at large."
"This is definitely the work of the Foreign Affairs Bureau!"
By this ti, the aircraft had changed its course and landed desolately on the vast runway at "Black Mountain Air Force Base."
"Move! move! move!"
150 soldiers of the Eighth Army Group of the Star Alliance ford a combat formation and surrounded the aircraft.
~~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao looked through the window at the army outside and wore a cold smile.
Just then, his phone rang; it was Agent Janice on the line.
["Mr. Lu, are you satisfied with my hospitality? I have carefully studied your psychological profile. Being wanted must be distressing, right? You can't return ho anymore~ What a pity."]
Lu Yao spoke calmly, "You are truly despicable."
["We will be eting each other soon. There will be a pleasant conversation. I hope you will still be as energetic as you are now."]
The "pleasant conversation" Janice referred to wasn't the outdated torture for interrogation.
At that mont, she was surrounded by a group of people in white coats, preparing for a wicked surgery—the brain control program.
After Lu Yao's capture, he would be injected with a "brainwashing drug." This drug was administered through an ultra-long syringe inserted into the eyeball.
The drug would completely destroy the brain's discrimination switch, forcing one to blurt out all their information, which would then be compiled and sifted by intelligence analysis experts.
For many years, many people who had mysteriously disappeared were emptied of all their mories by this evil interrogation technique.
It didn't take much to guess that the thod must result in severe sequelae—becoming an idiot.
After World War II, the Star Alliance Country had been devoted to researching such bizarre and evil things, and this "brain control program" was just one of them.
Janice was looking forward to what would happen next with great interest.
She was in a command room, in front of a row of huge monitors, broadcasting the arrest of Lu Yao in real-ti.
~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao was surrounded. Looking around, he found himself in a large air force base, with fighter jets taking off and landing in the distance.
Seeing the vertical landing, it was actually an F35B!
Suddenly, Lu Yao changed his original plan of commandeering a tank. Since he was already in an air force base, why not steal a plane!
As he was fantasizing, the military called out.
A captain shouted through a gaphone, "The bastard inside, co out imdiately! If you don't want to suffer, don't make go in to fetch you!"
As Lu Yao stepped off the plane, three soldiers broke away from the formation and advanced. One aid a gun while two subdued him and put on handcuffs.
In the eyes of these soldiers, the target before them was already trapped. Not to ntion the 150 soldiers surrounding him, there were another 8,000 people in the military base!
Seeing Lu Yao docilely wearing the handcuffs, the soldiers imdiately let their guard down.
The captain cursed under his breath, "Foreign Affairs Bureau pansies always make a big fuss over nothing! To capture a person without any resistance, they summoned an entire unit over! Today was supposed to be an open day; I should have been enjoying my ti with my darlings, but now it's all ruined!"
Just as he was grumbling nonstop, the next second he was shocked to discover—the target had sohow broken free from the handcuffs and had a gun in his hand!
Lu Yao didn't plan to "excessively" expose his superhuman capabilities; he gently knocked out three soldiers with controlled force, casually took over two M4A1s, and dual-wielded~
He aid at the enemy and pulled the trigger; the muzzle imdiately burst into flas, ejecting one cartridge after another.
The bullets hit their targets with deadly accuracy, spraying plus of blood mist, and the area was filled with wails.
