Star Alliance Conference Room, the three of Gutierrez gathered once again, their expressions heavy enough to drip water.
"The three great masters, truly united, not a single one is willing to disclose anything," Gutierrez’s face was cold and hard.
Antigo snorted coldly, "It’s one thing for Azure Dragon, but Reynolds and Mikhail still have quite a bit of business within Star Alliance territory."
"Especially Mikhail, who’s known for bullying the weak, yet this ti he’s risking offending us by not saying anything."
"So, this suggests that what they’re hiding might be even larger than we imagined. The disappearance of Gonzalez and Crow could very well involve so core secret."
Zig nodded in agreent, "Indeed, we are already too far behind in this matter."
"Let’s just take action directly." Antigo’s eyes were fierce, "Previously, we refrained from dealing with Reynolds and Mihayel’s businesses due to concerns, but this ti we might as well strike."
"I wonder how long they can hold out?"
"No." Gutierrez shook his head, "Doing so would only force them to beco mortal enemies with us."
He explained clearly, "Our goal is to uncover the secrets hidden by the Empire and Federation, not to do sothing to them."
"They are not speaking now because they are wary of the Empire and Federation, not because they truly wish to be our enemies."
Hearing this, Antigo frowned, "That may be true, but the Empire Federation is not going to tell us what’s really happened, and there aren’t many who know."
"Compared to the two great civilizations, dealing with these three craftsn might be easier. Azure Dragon doesn’t have any business in our territory, so we can’t get a hold on him; we have no choice but to act against Reynolds and Mikhail."
"Wrong..." Gutierrez’s face was indifferent, "It’s precisely because Reynolds and Mikhail have business within our territory that we can’t act against them."
"Doing so would force them to choose between the Empire Federation and us. If it were you, how would you choose?"
Antigo paused, seemingly agreeing that the orchestrators of the Red River Star Stream’s internal affairs must be the Empire and Federation.
These three great craftsn are rely inford, and later struck so deal with the Empire to make them keep silent.
If we force them to choose, they will certainly choose the Empire and Federation.
"Moreover, these two are not easy to handle; their years of accumulation should not be underestimated." Zig added,
"Their business networks are vast, and if we issue an order, who knows how those under them will carry it out—the results may not be favorable."
"We can’t do this, and we can’t do that. We don’t have ti to waste." Antigo frowned, speaking irritably.
"Indeed, we must capture a piece significant enough to force soone to surrender." Gutierrez finally said.
Antigo initially stared at him, puzzled, then suddenly reacted: "Your target won’t be Azure Dragon, will it?"
"But didn’t he say he wasn’t involved? His connection to this issue shouldn’t be deep,"
"Whether the involvent is deep isn’t up to him to decide." Gutierrez nodded calmly, "If we indeed have to move against one of the three great masters, better to offend one than two."
"Reynolds and Mikhail have complex relationships, whereas Azure Dragon, a newcor, isn’t tangled in interests with the other two, making him easier to approach."
"That’s true." Antigo wasn’t very reactive, frowning as he said, "Although defeating Ryan last ti had a significant impact, his own strength wasn’t that formidable."
The battle with Ryan was considered Azure Dragon’s last public battle in the interstellar scene.
Counting the ti, it was just two or three years ago, so analyzing it this way is reasonable.
"You can’t say it like that." Zig shook his head, offering a different opinion: "That battle was strange. Azure Dragon defeating Ryan doesn’t an his strength was just slightly higher than Ryan’s; it was because Ryan’s strength only reached that level."
"Moreover, Azure Dragon is very mysterious and is pushed by the Empire as one of the founding ten of the High-level Organization; many suspect he is actually one of Adam’s people."
Antigo laughed coldly, "Ha... that so-called founding ten, just the Empire making circles to amuse itself. Only Gusta and Anatoli are decent; the others are just ordinary."
"Besides, if he truly is one of Adam’s people, it might even be better."
"We still have to be careful." Zig was cautious, "Azure Dragon’s activity range is very far from us, we know little about him, and acting rashly may be inappropriate."
"Moreover, we don’t even know where his base is; that so-called chanical Court seems like bait."
"I’m not intending to act against Azure Dragon." Gutierrez shook his head, denying it, "Every X-level life form is not simple, and acting rashly without certain confidence carries significant risk."
"Our purpose is just to find out what happened in the Red River Star Stream. As long as we achieve that goal, that’s sufficient."
Zig’s gaze deepened instantly, "Are you referring to Li Ming?"
"Li Ming?" Antigo was stunned, then suspiciously looked at Gutierrez, "You wouldn’t rely be coveting his developnt potential, would you?"
The Holy Silver Civilization, where Gutierrez resides, has a unique evolutionary route, able to promote its own evolution by devouring from other life forms. The higher the level, the greater the potential and benefits.
Gutierrez frowned, not explaining, just saying:
"Li Ming’s developnt potential is rare in the entire interstellar realm, and equally important to Azure Dragon. By using him as leverage to simply get an answer, Azure Dragon shouldn’t refuse."
Zig contemplated, finding Gutierrez’s suggestion quite reasonable.
