Watching Bai Fu and the Child of Prophecy leave one after another, the tense atmosphere inside the Titan Industry Command Ship suddenly relaxed.
Except for Xue Quan's few close confidants, not many people actually thought Xue Quan's death was a bad thing.
Of course, on the surface, everyone still maintained a sorrowful expression.
The appearance had to be kept.
"What do we do now?"
The chairman's assistant asked anxiously to each Super Supre on the command ship.
Lei Mingdao shook his head and sighed, standing up from the ground: "Now that it's co to this, let's just retreat imdiately, head back to the explored universe. With the chairman dead, I think the Origins Agreent won't reject our application."
No one else objected.
After sending an application to Ignatius, Lei Mingdao and the others imdiately abandoned part of the fleet and left Apostle Holy City without looking back.
According to Lei Mingdao's initial plan, he intended to "reluctantly" surrender to Bai Fu after she took out Xue Quan.
But perhaps because the Child of Prophecy appeared suddenly, Bai Fu actually withdrew directly, leaving only a group of Undying People to continue attacking the Titan Industry's fleet.
He had no choice but to return to Titan Industry and assess the situation further.
Soon, Titan Industry's predicant spread throughout the explored universe.
The chairman's death couldn't be kept secret.
The entire explored universe was thrown into turmoil.
The Imperial Capital Star of the Rebirth Empire was under siege and on the brink of peril; this news was shocking, and to think there was a master involved.
Is this Bai Fu's counterattack?
Truly terrifying!
For a ti, many people who had defected to Ignatius due to his powerful influence started to waver again.
The ship of Ignatius, it seems, wasn't as stable as imagined.
...
"Leader, things are looking a bit grim now."
The Child of Prophecy relayed what Bai Fu had said earlier to Ignatius.
Ignatius narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems Bai Fu still has a secret card I'm unaware of, otherwise her tone wouldn't be so grand. But then again... it might be a deliberate ploy to provoke , hoping that agitating my emotions would expose a flaw."
The Child of Prophecy nodded in agreent.
"Leader, there's one more issue. Heck contacted earlier; he said that after the news of Xue Quan's death spread, so people started getting restless."
"Oh, really?"
Ignatius's tone was very calm, showing no anger from being betrayed.
There's no point in being angry.
Those people who had co to him once due to his power could now just as easily defect to Bai Fu because of her impressive performance.
He could clearly see this point.
He only felt excitent now.
This was an opportunity!
"Let Heck continue to monitor them, don't expose it, just let them contact Bai Fu proactively."
The Child of Prophecy imdiately understood Ignatius's intention; this was a baiting tactic.
Bai Fu just won two big victories, if she gets complacent, she might take the bait.
Even if Bai Fu doesn't take the bait, what about her subordinates?
As long as one fish bites, Bai Fu is dood.
Three hundred setting suns to see us off later, huh?
I'll be at your door by tomorrow!
Crossing his arms, Ignatius said: "Even if we can't lure Bai Fu out through them, having evidence of their secret collusion with Bai Fu allows us to justifiably eliminate these turncoats. Haha, Bai Fu's action really caught us off guard, but she absolutely didn't expect that by doing so much, she's given us an opening!"
The Child of Prophecy couldn't help but want to applaud the leader's quick thinking.
Exactly!
The leader wasn't wrong.
Bai Fu might have caused a stir, but the actual damage was just taking out one Xue Quan.
The problem is that Xue Quan, being dead, doesn't affect the overall plan of the Origins Agreent.
"I'll imdiately inform Heck of this plan."
"Go ahead, I'll handle the empire's issues first, then co to join you. Even if you find Bai Fu's hiding place, don't act rashly."
The two hurriedly ended their conversation.
Soon, the Child of Prophecy found Heck.
"Watch these people, and don't forget those I previously asked you to keep an eye on. The leader trusts them, but their close ties to Bai Fu an they might do sothing foolish at a critical mont."
Heck nodded solemnly.
"Leave it to , with around, they can't create any trouble!"
...
When news of the empire's attack and Xue Quan's death spread, Bulalo, like everyone else, was shocked and doubted his ears.
It wasn't until he contacted Lei Mingdao that he confird it was all true.
"Bai Fu's power..."
Bulalo beca excited.
He didn't hold any resentnt towards Bai Fu for attacking the Imperial Capital Star; instead, he felt an even stronger urge to contact Bai Fu.
Bai Fu's displayed power made him see hope, hope to free the empire from Ignatius, who should have long been consigned to history.
"Even if I expose myself, I must find a way to contact Bai Fu and tell her that secret!"
Bulalo clenched his fists tightly.
Then, he forcibly suppressed his excitent and put on a calm deanor.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the opportunity to present itself.
This day ca much more quickly than he had imagined.
With Titan Industry hastily withdrawing due to Xue Quan's sudden death and the Supernova Battle Group heavily damaged from earlier attacks and in recovery,
the fleet rampaging in Apostle Holy City recently was only the fleet dispatched by the empire.
Therefore, the empire's fleet naturally beca the target of the Players' attacks.
