495: Chapter 261 Confrontation – Digesting the Spoils_2 495: Chapter 261 Confrontation – Digesting the Spoils_2 On the edge zone, purple energy erged again before finally converging.
Fernand snorted coldly, did not bother to question the cause and process of the incident as it no longer held any significance, and decisively took Des away.
“That old guy is way too arrogant”, Sandro complained, “And sohow, it feels like he was deliberately watching us but ignored Benny and Hubert.”
“What about Connet?
He’s generally more approachable.”
Li Ming didn’t care; he knew why Fernand was hostile towards them.
Half of the eight Firework Masters sent by the Torch Organization to Ulrich’s stronghold were trained by him, and it was pretty decent of him to restrain from attacking them.
“Who knows, maybe there’s so issue,” Li Ming shook his head.
Though Fernand was furious, he didn’t let them lie on the ground to sleep and had already started dispatching people to clean up the Circular Mountain and rebuild the resting area.
…
Connet absolutely forbade bringing any of these big chanics or Level-A Life Forms to the main base.
But Fernand didn’t care and just threw Des on the office sofa.
The collected information from his subordinates was already submitted, and he projected the surveillance video.
In the footage, fully ard Brother and the chanical Body of Azure Dragon were clashing in the corridor.
It only stopped there; due to electromagnetic interference, everything else was blurred.
He asked in a deep voice, “What on earth happened?
Why was Brother fully ard and loitering in the corridor for so long, seemingly looking deliberately for the chanical Body under Azure Dragon.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“I don’t know,” Des’s voice was hoarse, his face grim, “I was in the Core Laboratory at the ti.”
Fernand took a deep breath, furrowed his brows, stared at Des, and roared, “Whatever you were planning, it’s ruined now!”
“When The Chief left, he asked to keep an eye on each one of you.
Brother is dead.
Don’t co back to the resting area.
I’ll arrange a place for you.”
Des’s eyes flickered, then he nodded: “Okay.”
“Work peacefully for us, we will ensure your safety,” Fernand added, too lazy to deal with the conflicts and scandals among these people.
With Brother dead, Des no longer had the leverage to negotiate with them, perfectly fit to be used as a tool.
After all, he’s a big chanic, quite valuable.
“Okay.” Des’s voice was devoid of any emotion.
Imdiately, Fernand had soone take Des away and arrange a room for him near the Core Laboratory.
He paced back and forth, looked out the window to the towering Circular Mountain, and couldn’t help feeling a bit terrified, then again, annoyed, “Really restless.”
…
The guard escorted him into the room, which was a common staff rest area, quite cramped and lacking many basic facilities.
Upon closing the door, the expressionless Des sat on the hard bed, gritting his teeth tightly, his clenched fist trembling, his pupils filled with blood, until after a long while, he slowly exhaled.
“Brother…
rest assured…”
Then, he moved quickly, setting up his twisted stance, took out the smart terminal, and swiftly operated it.
With nurous experiences, he was proficient, and soon, Asimara’s voice sounded: “Lord Des…”
This ti, Des didn’t elaborate, his voice hoarse, “Connet has left the Torch Organization base; they are going to sacrifice a Dinsion Life capable of weaving reality.”
“I don’t know the specific location, but you’ve encountered them before, go check, go check, stop him!”
At the end, Des was already gritting his teeth.
“Hmm?”
In the secret intelligence room, Asimara looked surprised, her subordinates already swiftly moving into action.
“How did you co to know this information?
Are you sure?” she inquired.
“I am sure, of course, I am sure!” Des scread, “To confirm this information, Brother was killed by Azure Dragon!”
“What?” Asimara was montarily taken aback, and quickly asked, “What sudden event has occurred now?”
“The Azure Dragon can now fire Nano Energy Cannons from eight turrets simultaneously instead of just two, directly killing Brother.” Des spoke in a low voice.
“From two to eight turrets?” Asimara was startled, waves of shock rolling over him.
“How are you faring now?” Asimara’s thoughts flickered, and, following advice from the intelligence departnt, he began to reassure Des.
“It’s fine, Azure Dragon didn’t kill .
The Torch Organization saved , they are probably using as a tool now,” Des said with a wretched smile.
“The Torch Organization won’t last long, neither will the others,” Asimara said gravely, giving Des so confidence.
“Don’t worry, I will send soone to intercept Connet.”
“Also, I want Azure Dragon dead!” Des’s voice was cold and hard.
Asimara’s eyes flashed slightly, assuring him, “Don’t worry, you will get your wish.”
As Des was currently inconvenient to communicate, the two didn’t talk for long before ending the communication.
“Inside the Torch Organization, it’s too restless; what does Azure Dragon want to do?
According to our estimate, he must also be aiming for the Core Relics.”
“If that’s the case, his current goal should be to unite and produce the Sublimator, why does he keep causing trouble one after another?” Asimara wondered, finding it inconsistent with the psychological profile of Azure Dragon by their intelligence system.
Every action has a purpose, what does Azure Dragon want after killing Brother?
According to Des, it was only to test if Connet was still at the base, hence the attack on Azure Dragon.
And the reaction was too extre.
Just venting anger?
Asimara couldn’t understand, so he simply ordered, “List all our recent sabotage operations against the Torch Organization, and lock down the target quickly.”
“No matter what they plan to do, we must not allow them to succeed.”
…
anwhile, in a temporary resting capsule near the main base, Li Ming was planning, “Des has been taken away, it might be difficult to see him in the resting area in the future.”
“He should be contacting Asimara now.”
While thinking, he absorbed the fragnted Ape Bone cha.
This damaged ch had overall absorbed four million five hundred thousand units of tal energy.
It was more than the tal energy required for control, as although it was fragnted, the tal materials, parts, and even condensates were also nearby.
Li Ming collected them nearly completely, naturally absorbing more.
Adding five hundred thousand more units of tal energy, he took control of the [Fierce Tiger Fist], using more than one million units of tal energy to fully repair it.
This pair of tallic Fist Armor was quite ferocious, enveloping each finger in a tough finger cover, with a Hot Nuclear Reaction engine inside that could burst forth with considerable energy at any mont.
Li Ming quickly understood its locking chanism which mainly involved tal fasteners at the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, clamping them together.
He then materialized the Tank Guard and began using tal energy to finely adjust the tallic arms.
He basically no longer used it in the form of driving, so so adjustnts that defied ergonomics didn’t matter.
He downsized the Tank Guard tallic arms by one size, and then carved out corresponding fastener grooves at the wrists, elbows, and shoulders.
Due to the downsized arms looking sowhat odd, once the Fierce Tiger Fist was fastened, the tallic Arm Armor attached on the surface moved like scales, incessantly opening and closing.
The overall look was quite natural, and it added a nacing appearance to the Tank Guard.
Trying on the possession, it was like wearing boxing gloves.
With a slight thought, a blade sprang from the elbow, eighty centiters long, with ionic high-speed resonance and high temperature modules, possessing formidable lethality.
This small adjustnt consud less than one hundred thousand units of tal energy, yet significantly boosted the combat prowess of the Tank Guard, making it a cost-effective improvent.
Testing the new weapon, Li Ming pondered internally, “Although Asimara is a few days behind, they are the official force and can use other civilizations’ Star Gates for faster travel, so stopping Connet shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Now, I need to focus on the Dinsion Crystal.
With Connet absent, that Fernand doesn’t seem like a cautious man.”
“Whether he is cautious or not, I still need to proceed according to my plan.”
