This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 429 - 429 228 The Impact of the Explosion The Confus

429: Chapter 228 The Impact of the Explosion The Confused Ulrich_2 429: Chapter 228 The Impact of the Explosion The Confused Ulrich_2 Ulrich seed to have a lot of confidence in Theo, which piqued Li Ming’s interest.

He asked, “Just how powerful is Theo’s strength?”

Li Ming had never seen Theo in action and was very curious about this.

He had a good grasp of the strength of Ulrich and Sandro, but Theo’s was still unclear.

This ti, ambushing Bryrim would be a good opportunity to test Theo’s real strength, so he could have an idea in his mind.

Ulrich pondered, “When Lord Monroe was still around, Theo was his strongest man, the number one hitman.”

“But do you know what he’s best at?”

“?” Li Ming showed a look of inquiry.

“Assassination.” Ulrich said, explaining in great detail for so reason.

“Theo cos from a civilization that has perished, and he was even a prince.

His genetic sequence is called [Shadow Blade Hunter], an A-level genetic sequence, skilled at concealing his presence and tracking, with extrely superb assassination skills…”

A-level genetic sequence, stealth, and tracking?

Li Ming pondered; his evolution system was just missing a theory of evolution.

A-level genetic sequences were not easy to find, and he hadn’t expected Theo to be one.

“Sotis, he might be behind you, and you wouldn’t even know,” Ulrich said with an obvious sense of lingering fear.

Li Ming could sense that: for example, Sandro dared to confront Ulrich and stipulate conditions with him, but he barely ever saw him refute Theo.

But Li Ming looked bemused.

He had had many interactions with Theo and hadn’t experienced these aspects too profoundly.

With the [Intelligent Assistance], unless the other party hid in a spatial interlayer, they could hardly escape his perception from a close distance.

He could always accurately find Theo’s location, so there wasn’t any special feeling.

It was only now that Li Ming realized his blind spot.

No wonder sotis, when Theo suddenly appeared, Sandro and Ulrich would behave as if they saw a ghost.

And the first look from Theo was always towards himself.

He hadn’t paid much attention before, but now thinking about it, there seed to be a lot of hidden information.

Suddenly, he rembered sothing, “I was looking for an assassin profession before, and sohow I forgot.”

To prevent forgetting again, he opened the intelligent terminal and specifically noted it down in the mo.

Ulrich habitually sneaked a peek, his eyes showing a peculiar expression.

Searching for an assassin?

What the hell did he write?

Could it be he was looking for Theo?

Guessing it was a reminder to himself to always look for Theo, Ulrich let his thoughts wander and shook his head inwardly.

If Theo were that easy to find, he wouldn’t be wary of him.

“When will the two of them co?” Ulrich asked soon after.

“They should be here soon,” Li Ming mused with a smirk.

“Bryrim must have already learned about the explosion of the steel castle.

What do you think he will do?”

“To placate?

And then secretly contact Asimara?” Ulrich smiled faintly.

If he were Bryrim, he would certainly do so to exchange for enough benefits.

Indeed, they ca quickly, but it wasn’t Theo.

It was Bryrim.

Three hours later, a livid Bryrim with an intelligent terminal found Ulrich in the sa room as Li Ming.

“Ulrich, what the hell are you doing, blowing up your own lair?” His face looked extrely ugly, as the virtual screen played the footage of the steel castle’s explosion.

“?” Ulrich frowned, glanced at the screen, and shook his head, “It’s my place.

If it’s blown up, it’s blown up.

Why do you care so much?”

“Of course I care!” Bryrim scoffed.

He had thought that Ulrich and Li Ming’s presence here ant they had so secret mission, so they were passing through.

Typically, when fleeing the Land of Stars, the refugees would head deeper into the Red River Star Stream, along with the Floating Islands.

But now, it seed that the two of them had fled from the Land of Stars and even ruthlessly blew up their own base.

“Now the word outside is that your castle has blown up a number of Yitelan Civilization people.” Bryrim swept his gaze over Ulrich and Li Ming’s faces and gritted his teeth, “It even included people from the Star Abyss Empire.”

“Hm?” Ulrich’s originally calm expression suddenly changed, and Li Ming frowned, had there really been casualties?

“Where did you get the news?” Ulrich’s expression tensed as he questioned Bryrim, “Who said there were people from the Star Abyss Empire?”

“See for yourself!” Blainem threw out a virtual projection, Ulrich looked carefully, and Li Ming also ca over, unexpectedly surprised.

This was internal information from the Star Abyss Empire, leaked out by soone on purpose.

It detailed how Duke Bloodthurn’s son, Gabriel, investigating Isus’s death, had followed the trail all the way to the Land of Stars, only to be forced to leave due to so incidents.

After eting up with Asimara, however, they returned to the Land of Stars.

After the big explosion, Duke Bloodthurn’s n had been trying to contact Asimara constantly, but with no response; it was unknown whether Gabriel was dead or not.

Li Ming felt sowhat disappointed; it wasn’t confird that he was truly dead.

That ant there was a high chance he had not died, as Gabriel had been accompanied by a Superpower User involving space, or rather, an Evolved Body, making it very difficult for him to perish.

But Ulrich didn’t know, and his eyes quivered.

The people of the Star Abyss Empire he ntioned were not ordinary soldiers or low-level officers, but those of significant status.

This was the son of Duke Bloodthurn…

Suddenly, he turned his head, looking toward Li Ming with a dark expression, starting to suspect that the guy was deliberately setting him up.

“You’ve gotten yourselves into a huge ss!” Bryrim felt a burning sensation in his hands, cursing his bad luck; if he had known it would be like this, he wouldn’t have let them stay here.

It was bad enough that Asimara inexplicably ca to the Land of Stars, but also brought soone from the Star Abyss Empire; if they were really killed in the explosion, the small Land of Stars could not bear Duke Bloodthurn’s wrath.

If soone followed the trail of their escape and investigated all the way here, Bryrim feared he wouldn’t be able to escape difficulty either.

Ulrich cald himself; now was not the ti to delve into the matter, he stared coldly at Bryrim, “So, what do you want to do?

Report us to Asimara?”

“Get out, leave imdiately!” Bryrim shouted, indeed wanting to inform Asimara of their whereabouts, but after thinking it through, he decided against it.

He believed that he had no leverage to negotiate terms with Asimara; if Duke Bloodthurn’s son had truly been killed, it would be best for him to stay as far away as possible and avoid getting involved.

Li Ming looked at Ulrich, “You guessed wrong.”

Ulrich had no mood to argue with Azure Dragon anymore, his mind in turmoil.

If the son of Duke Bloodthurn was truly dead, he would probably have to flee for the rest of his life.

No, escape might not even be possible; his position would inevitably be locked by the information state.

Bryrim, seeing that the chanic was still indifferent, imdiately spoke in a heavy tone, “Now, right now, imdiately, if you don’t leave, don’t bla for being unkind.”

Li Ming’s gaze shifted slightly, suddenly looking towards the side, he couldn’t help but ask, “You don’t want your weapon?”

“Weapon?” Bryrim suppressed his rage, “Yes, I don’t want it anymore.”

Li Ming frowned, why wasn’t Theo making his move?

Theo was hidden in the shadows of the room, silent and imperceptible.

This was his most frequently used thod of concealnt; even being close at hand, Bryrim had not detected anything.

He was puzzled; as soon as he entered, he heard Bryrim chasing people away, unsure of what had happened.

If that was the case, then Azure Dragon had no reason to act.

However, he always had the sense that Azure Dragon’s gaze, elusive though it was, kept glancing in his direction.

A coincidence?

Theo slightly furrowed his brows; Li Ming had once been able to detect his presence before, but only when he had not deliberately concealed himself.

But now he had restrained himself to the extre; logically, the other party should not easily sense him.
