Chapter 688: Chapter 359: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole? Drawing the Tiger from the Mountain! Desperate Nicholas!
Security Departnt, Li Ming, hidden inside the tallic structure, was undergoing layer upon layer of inspections.
Countless tiny chanical probes sward around it like bees, emitting dense scanning light beams, which interwove into a dazzling net of light across the surface of the tallic structure.
A variety of instrunts consolidated complex streams of data information, continuously analyzing every subtle structure of the tallic body.
The inspection personnel busily operated the equipnt, their expressions focused, as energy pulses repeatedly covered the tallic structure through specialized transmission circuits.
“At least sixteen inspections already…” Li Ming thought to himself, speechless yet inwardly astonished. Under normal circumstances, trying to infiltrate this place would be as hard as reaching the heavens.
“I wonder if I’ll be able to et Nicholas.” He pondered internally, without certainty about the matter. However, having breached the external defenses, the situation had beco significantly more manageable.
Thinking of Nicholas constantly stirring up trouble like a restless specter, an inexplicable agitation crept into Li Ming’s heart.
…
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Within the vast tallic corridor, urgent footsteps echoed. Their sound layered, reverberating off the tal walls.
Nicholas led the way, his expression cold and unyielding, while Albert followed in silence. The group’s faces were grim. Beside them was a tall, slender secretary, her voice crisp:
“According to the ssage from the Main Universe, Satoru has already submitted a request to the Royal Council seeking to revoke your title.”
“The process is ongoing, but judging by the evidence provided by the other side, they are exceedingly prepared. There’s a high likelihood they will reach a verdict in your absence.”
Nicholas’s face grew somber. “How did it progress so quickly? Where did he get so much evidence?”
The secretary continued: “Additionally, the Royal Council has issued an administrative order requiring Lord Albert to explain, face-to-face, his activities during the operative tifra.”
Albert’s expression subtly shifted with concern. Facing the scrutiny of the Royal Council, he couldn’t be certain whether he would endure to the end.
“Satoru…” Nicholas’s face remained stern. “Respond to them, and say that my mission here remains incomplete.”
His mood was grim. Azure Dragon hadn’t faced any repercussions, yet he was the one left dealing with the ss.
Thinking of Azure Dragon, he frowned and asked, “Have Prince Costat and his team reached the designated coordinates?”
“They just arrived and are currently deploying. If the target surfaces, they will act imdiately,” the secretary responded, yet Nicholas’s expression didn’t soften in the slightest.
Satoru’s rapid maneuvering, compounded by Prince Costat purposely excluding him, ant even capturing Azure Dragon would rely provide a slim opportunity for relief.
“By the way,” the secretary reported further, “the item you requested earlier has already been delivered to the Security Departnt.”
“The item I requested?” Nicholas halted and turned back expressionlessly. “What item?”
“This one.” The secretary lowered her head, summoning an image directly on the virtual screen.
She wasn’t certain if the item in question was sothing Nicholas himself had ordered others to deliver, but based on his reaction, he seed unaware of it.
But questioning her superior was definitely not a wise choice.
Nicholas looked down. It was a comprehensive perspective scan of a rectangular tallic object.
“This is…” A hint of confusion flickered across his expression as he examined the scan. “A chanical folding motorcycle?”
Nicholas’s gaze turned cold. “Who sent this?”
The Duke truly wasn’t aware?
The secretary’s heart tightened. Soone under her charge dared to forge commands. She hurriedly pulled up the shipping routes and Luo’er’s photograph.
“It was delivered by a soldier from the Inspection Departnt, saying it was sent per your special orders. It underwent multiple layers of inspections en route and showed no signs of tampering.”
“Summon this individual.” Nicholas glanced at the photo, showing no recognition. His brows furrowed slightly as he pondered briefly before continuing toward his office. “You verify its safety. If confird, bring it to .”
“Understood.” The secretary turned away.
Nicholas returned to his office. The pale-gray light turned on, illuminating a room that was minimally decorated in line with his preference for Interstellar Realism.
The gray windows gradually cleared, revealing outside a colossal black cannon stretching thousands of ters, resembling a giant dragon resting atop a massive tal foundation.
At its rear, the Dark Matter Decomposer resembled a complex rune-inscribed ring. Sparks of sharp electric light danced along its edges, while dense, oil-like energy flow churned within.
The tallic surface glead with a frigid luster, reminiscent of icy stars in the dark night, etched with mysterious engravings. Its deep barrel generated visible swirling airflow in its vicinity.
Along the barrel, scarlet energy restraints were assembled every hundred ters. Their bright, blood-like glow flickered upon the black fra, exuding an aura of dread, containing power sufficient to quell entire stars.
On the desk sat a black box. Nicholas seed to already expect it, stepping forward to open it directly. Inside were two irregularly shaped black stones.
“So this is the Terrax Stone? The crystallized essence of the Terrax people’s being…” Nicholas picked one up and inspected it closely—it was his first ti handling such an object.
Previously, he had mainly operated within the Main Universe and rarely encountered items from the Dinsion World.
Now, with Prince Costat and others away, his high status in the base allowed him access to such artifacts.
“It’s said that the Terrax people’s evolutionary path is entirely different from the current mainstream routes,” Albert remarked with curiosity.
“Indeed, the Terrax people are born with imnse strength and can even traverse freely within the Dinsion World.” Nicholas casually replied, still thoroughly examining the stone in his hand, murmuring:
