Capítulo 1290: Chapter 660: The Black Hole Network’s Compromise
“Where does your confidence co from? Is it relying on those X Level Life Forms enhanced by Genetic Essence, or so other reason…”
Li Ming entered a state of developnt, with plenty of ti to think and speculate about all possibilities, which was also a way to pass the ti.
…
On a certain satellite of the Empire Mother Star, in a room not luxuriously decorated, the curtains were tightly closed, made of flexible tal materials, capable of isolating most detection equipnt.
Abel paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, frowning.
After eting with his father, Adam made a series of responses, the main one being to call back a few confidants.
This matter was extrely troubleso, each step needed to be cautious. Even if he couldn’t disclose the Holy Emperor’s serious injury, it could still provide him with ideas.
Although his father summoned all the sons in at that ti,
it didn’t an all of them were qualified to compete. Among them, the one with the strongest power was the Eldest Prince, Arthur.
As his elder brother and his father’s first son, Arthur was deeply favored.
Abel only heard that when Arthur was young, his father took him to attend various high-level etings.
This honor was never bestowed on the sons that followed.
He himself was an S Level Life Form and had developed to a very high degree, whereas he was just an A Level Life Form.
The weakest by power originally was him, but now it’s the Sixth Prince.
“Big brother, second brother, and third brother are all my formidable opponents… but once things start, perhaps soone will just watch the tigers fight…” Abel frowned deeply; after all, he was too young and lacked much experience in this kind of struggle.
Recklessly entering the final circle brings unavoidable fear.
Buzz—
Suddenly, the intelligent terminal rang again. Afraid it might be so urgent news, he picked it up imdiately, only to find it was a communication request from his subordinate, Donit.
This was the person under him responsible for transporting and selling chanical Seed.
He frowned but accepted the call, and the screen popped up, showing a large, black face with suppressed excitent.
Abel asked gravely, “What’s the situation, has the goods been seized again?”
“No, no…” Donit hurriedly explained, “Good news, the border departnt notified to retrieve the confiscated goods, claiming that the inspection was completed.”
“Your Highness, you’re impressive, getting it sorted out in just a few days.”
“Retrieve the goods?” Abel had a vague bad premonition, urgently asked, “When did this happen, why didn’t you tell .”
“A day ago, they personally ca to inform that this matter couldn’t be left on paper, and it was quite urgent, with only one ti slot available; I didn’t have ti to notify you…”
“Idiot!” Adam’s face instantly darkened, “Get rid of those goods imdiately!”
“Get rid of them?” Donit looked bewildered.
“I said get rid of them!” Adam shouted angrily.
“Oh, oh…” Donit finally reacted, although he didn’t know what was happening, he didn’t dare to ask more questions.
But the next mont, his expression changed dramatically, his eyes looking outside the screen, exclaiming, “You, you, how did you get in!”
“This is a private spaceship, you…”
The other side of the screen turned chaotic, with Donit looking terrified, and then the screen went black.
Adam’s face turned extrely grim, clenched his fists. The action was so swift, soone had already made a move against him.
Smuggling wasn’t a major or minor issue, but he was smuggling chanical Seed, which, in the eyes of most empire high-level officials, was still an enemy, the Azure Dragon.
Hoping to knock him out because of this, certainly impossible.
But this might implicate quite a few people under him.
“Who could it be…” Abel searched through his mind but couldn’t find the answer.
The power within the Empire was really too complex, and for a mont he couldn’t figure it out.
Given the current situation, the best choice was to conserve strength and quietly wait for others to fight among themselves.
There were still too many people in the final circle, better to wait until a few are eliminated.
Abel continually adjusted his thoughts, he couldn’t afford not to be cautious, when the killing in the later stages turns red-eyed, it’s not impossible to face swords and knives.
He was considering this when suddenly he looked towards the door, the handle turning, making Abel’s heart twitch.
But the next mont he felt relieved, as it was Costate who ca in.
Seeing Abel’s tense deanor, Costate sighed inwardly.
“Why are you here…” Abel adjusted his mood and approached.
Costate skipped the pleasantries and got to the point, “The Holy Emperor’s order, you need to investigate this case.”
“Hmm?” Abel’s face moved, looking at the paper file Costate handed over.
“Have a look… keep it in mind.”
Such secrecy? Abel couldn’t help but be astonished, but curiosity also arose, taking it and opening the specially sealed file bag, pulling out a few sheets.
With just a glance, Abel’s heart tightened, the first paper prominently wrote several big words.
“Investigation Report on the ‘Empire Internal Ard Patrol Fleet Resource Empty Warehouse Case’…”
The Ard Patrol Fleet was the space law enforcent force within the Empire, with tens of billions of warships large and small, and personnel numbering in the hundreds of billions.
Internally a self-contained system, the resource consud daily was an astronomical figure, coupled with rit rewards, it was even harder to count.
Abel’s face trembled, and according to this report, over 60% of the warehouses within the Ard Patrol Fleet were virtually empty.
Paper records showed over ten trillion Star Coins worth of materials unaccounted for.
His lips revealed a bitter smile, looking up at Costate, “Let… … investigate?”
He guessed this kind of case was sothing discovered during the sweep of the Upper and Lower Houses a while ago, this systemic corruption covered almost everyone up and down the line.
