Anatoli remained very wary of Gusta. After being backstabbed by him, he tried to avoid confrontation with him in joint etings, fearing that the other might secretly make a move.
But secretly, he was always searching for his traces, wanting to eliminate this hidden danger.
However, in the vastness of the Interstellar, Gusta intentionally concealed himself, making it almost impossible to find him.
"I understand." Li Ming nodded, his reaction still very calm. "Thank you for the reminder."
Anatoli pressed his lips together, wanting to say more.
But he also understood the principle of not going too far, saying more would make him seem like he looked down on Lord Azure Dragon.
In the end, he could only nod, "As long as you know, we will end the investigation and return."
Ending the communication, Li Ming’s eyes flickered. This unexpected investigation result had indeed surprised many people.
He found Anduin’s contact information and dialed back again. It connected quickly. His communication background was different from Anduin’s, instead, it seed to be in a vast starfield.
"Lord Azure Dragon..." Anduin’s face looked a bit cautious, vaguely watching his surroundings.
"Where are you?" Li Ming sensed sothing was wrong and asked.
"Morselini Shattered Star Belt..." Anduin uttered a location.
"Not with Anatoli?" Li Ming couldn’t help but be puzzled.
"That guy..." Anduin’s face darkened, irritated, "He’s too timid. At his efficiency, it would take ten thousand years to find the murderer. I parted ways with him a month ago."
"I’ve estimated the attack trajectory and am now near an X Level Life Form base, seeing if any opportunist might appear."
"You have such courage, even the Evil Ancestor has disappeared." Li Ming was a bit surprised.
"With consecutive attacks on X Level Life Forms, if the truth isn’t found out soon, the situation could worsen. I’m sowhat confident that I won’t take risks with my true self." Anduin said helplessly, and then added: "Since you have found the murderer, I don’t have to take risks."
Upon saying this, Anduin’s expression beca quite serious, "However, I discovered so strange things during the process. Gusta is indeed investigating this matter and has contacted several X Level Life Forms."
"But after the Evil Ancestor affair, he no longer contacted any X Level Life Form."
"If the attacker in the shadows is the Titan Branch, he might cooperate with the other side. I even think it might be directed at you."
Anduin seed quite worried, "Have you seen the attacker, is it the Titan Branch you previously killed?"
"No, it’s a completely new group, but you don’t have to worry, I will personally handle this matter." Li Ming shook his head and said vaguely, "As for Gusta, he won’t be a threat."
Seeing Azure Dragon understand, Anduin breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing the last sentence, he also thought Azure Dragon did not take Gusta seriously, yet he still couldn’t help but remind:
"Gusta’s evolution level is not low, do not underestimate him. He’s in the dark, yet you are in the light, and he must be guarded against."
"Hmm." Li Ming nodded, unexpected that the matter would end with everyone reminding him to be careful.
However, he also understood that these issues were essentially Anatoli and Anduin’s speculations without any substantial evidence.
It was only because the matter seed settled that these clues were brought up as there would be no chance if not ntioned now.
After casually chatting with Anduin, at last, he couldn’t help but say, "Do not trust Anatoli too much either, this guy is very cunning."
It’s unknown what kind of conflict occurred between the two, making Anduin so resentful.
Ending the communication, Li Ming didn’t care, he certainly didn’t trust Anatoli.
However, the benefits brought by Anatoli being alive were greater for him, as long as force could deter, such a person would always crawl underfoot.
Actually, his trust in Anduin is also very conservative, but it’s considerably higher than in Anatoli.
Hmm... The deputy chairman position of Gusta needs soone to replace.
Shaking his head, Li Ming turned and lay on the bed. During his conversation with the two, many X Level Life Forms had already responded to the ssages he sent, and he picked a few enthusiastic ones to reply to.
Two or three days later, the star gate channel here finally returned to normal. Li Ming boarded the spaceship imdiately, handled the procedures, and entered the Star Gate.
To return from here to the chanical Court, it would take about one and a half months, which is not a short ti.
Yet, just half a month later, news ca from the Star Alliance--
"The Star Alliance Council announced that Chairman Gutierrez resigned due to health reasons, temporarily replaced by Vice Chairman Antigo, and a new Star Alliance Chairman will be decided by vote within sixty days."
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves, this was the resignation of the leader level of the Star Alliance, and it was not a normal succession, which imdiately sparked intense discussion on the Interstellar Network.
Various Interstellar comntators jumped out, analyzing and organizing all sorts of information.
"... The Star Alliance Chairman is elected by a representative voting system, voted by the civilization representatives of the Star Alliance Council, representing all citizens of the civilization."
"... Can be re-elected for three terms, each term lasts one thousand years, this is Gutierrez’s second term in office, he is the sixth chairman in the history of the Star Alliance who did not serve three full terms."
"... The forr five mostly caused great damage to the Star Alliance, either leading to significant economic decline or causing major casualties, Gutierrez is no different."
"... The siege of the Chaotic Star Gap led to the capture of a large number of evolved bodies of the Star Alliance, and the loss of the crucial weapon Kashmir’s Spear. At that ti, there was already talk of its resignation, yet the chairman’s skilled maneuvering managed to hold on."
"Later, the expansive Holy Castle incident was revealed to have had enormous resources invested by the Star Alliance, yet without any gain, with further X Level Life Forms captured..."
"Unexpectedly, he managed to hold out until now to resign."
Everyone was guessing the reason for Gutierrez’s resignation; so crucial events had long happened, yet Gutierrez remained unyielding.
Recently, there was no ripple, yet he suddenly resigned, which is quite strange.
"...The transfer of the Dominator Flesh has likely been completed, Gutierrez’s final value has been squeezed dry..."
On the spaceship, Li Ming was flipping through the news, inevitably feeling that Gutierrez had quite so skills, likely making Adam and Malcolm very displeased.
At the dia press conference, Gutierrez appeared for the last ti, seemingly in a good state, with a sense of nostalgia and lant.
Any observant person could see that he had a feeling of a burden being lifted.
Facing questions from reporters, he even joked a bit, "... Perhaps I’ll write a few books, talk about the inner workings of the Star Alliance, and make so retirent money..."
This imdiately caused a burst of laughter, followed closely by another reporter asking, "Do you have anything to say to your successor or to the Star Alliance?"
Gutierrez paused, facing the cara, seeming to speak seriously, "Identify threats, and eliminate them early, eliminate them at all costs."
The aura of many years in a high position, along with the pressure of belonging to an X Level Life Form, combined with that faint murderous aura, left the entire dia site silent.
But soon, he smiled wryly, "Of course, if you can’t kill them, then quickly establish good relations."
This kind of statent naturally sparked discussion, with many believing Gutierrez had hidden anings.
"It’s really interesting, these high-level leaders out of office are completely different from when they are in office." Li Ming found it amusing, closed the relevant news, and opened several other dialogue boxes to glance at one by one.
The event of Gutierrez stepping down made the general public discuss it vigorously.
But within the Interstellar high-level, what attracted more attention was another piece of news--
A suddenly appearing Titan Branch indiscriminately attacking X Level Life Forms.
This news ca from the High-level Life Form Union, with Chairman Azure Dragon confirming it. Thanks to the endorsent of this super leader, almost no one doubted, causing widespread panic.
Almost all X Level Life Forms left their own habitats, not even daring to inform their trusted aides of their whereabouts, and this led to a series of events.
The impact was so significant, that even Li Ming himself was a bit surprised.
