“Young Master, do you really intend to do this?” Levis was surprised. “Once you report yourself, the Top Operatives of the High Nobles will probably come right away. And then… then…” He repeated a few times before he realized that this seemed to be no different from their original plan. The only difference was that Hong Dali would be one billion Dimu Dollars richer…
Eh? In that case, this seemed like a very good idea!
“I think this might work.” Blood Demon speculated. “Everyone, think about this. If Young Master reports himself, then one possible outcome will be that the Top Operatives will come after him right away. When that happens, with Young Master’s power and us assisting, we should be able to kill the three Top Operatives. This will be in line with our previous plan. The second outcome is that the three Top Operatives do not come to us, but instead continue to offer rewards and send cannon fodder to test our strength. This will be more troublesome.”
“Well, that makes things very simple.” Hong Dali grinned, thoughtless and carefree as usual. However, the meaning of his words made even the ones who had been assassins felt a chill in their hearts. “We’ll just kill them as they come! As long as they dare to come, I dare to kill them! This way, it’s also safer for Sister Xiaoyi and Sister Nianwei. After all, people will be looking at us and they will not attract attention.”
Kill them as they come!
Hearing this, Levis’ and the others’ hair stood on end.
What kind of a person was Hong Dali usually? He was a good man. He could not be bothered with you even if you scolded him.
But this time, it was clear that he was really at the end of his rope. Even a rabbit would bite if stressed, let alone the prodigal Hong Dali. He was not a rabbit. Not only was he not a rabbit, but he was also very strong, impossibly strong!
Furthermore, Hong Dali said that since everyone’s eyes would be on them, the other people in the Dali team would be safe. After all, the killers had appeared and no one would be paying attention to other people.
“Since Young Master has already decided, that’s what we will do.” The few of them looked at each other, then Levis asked, “Who does Young Master plan to send to report?”
“This…” Hong Dali glanced at them and his eyes finally fixed on Christina. He smiled and said, “Of course, Sister Christina is the best choice.”
“Me?” Christina pointed at herself. “Why is it best if I go?”
“There are several reasons. Think about it.” Hong Dali began to crack his knuckles. “First, Sister Christina, you have not fused with a Soul Stone. After you leave, you can buy some time. After you report us, go look for a Soul Stone. Come back to look for us after you have fused with the Soul Stone.
“Second, you are a woman. Generally speaking, people are more likely to relax and let down their guard when dealing with a woman.
“Third, when you get there, you can bend the truth a little and disassociate the others from us. Make them believe that Sir Malone was killed by just the few of us and it has nothing to do with anyone else.
“And the last and most important point. Sister Christina, it is more convenient for you to escape from there…”
In fact, after listening to everything that Hong Dali said, Christina finally understood what he was trying to do. Hong Dali was afraid that she would be in danger if she stayed with him, so he wanted to send her away from him.
After all, according to Blood Demon, once they reported Hong Dali, what would happen was either one, the three Top Operatives would come, or two, they would give Hong Dali the reward and send Black-level Honorary Aristocrats as cannon fodder. Either way, Christina, who had not fused with a Soul Stone yet, would be in danger and Hong Dali would not be able to take care of her.
“Alright, I’ll go.” Christina was not an indecisive person, and she nodded immediately. “How do we stay in contact?”
“Sister Ye, you should have a communicator or something?” Hong Dali asked.
“Yes, I do.” Ye Huayun nodded and then gave Christina a small communicator. “You can contact us anytime with this, it’s very convenient to use.”
“Okay, I’ll set off now.”
Christina had gotten ready to leave when Hong Dali frowned suddenly and said, “Wait a minute, I almost forgot the biggest problem now!”
“Eh? What problem?” Everyone was curious.
“The reason for my actions is the biggest problem.” Hong Dali slowly said, “Think about it. Malone is a High Noble, even if I did not show him any respect, I had no reason to kill him outright. There can only be one reason why I killed him, and that’s because of his lust. However, among the few of us here, there’s no one who is suitable to be the object of his lust. This could become a fatal flaw in our plan.”
Hong Dali was right. Why did he kill Malone? It was because of Li Nianwei. But it was clear that Li Nianwei was not here. There was only Ye Huayun and she was not a reason for Hong Dali to have done what he did.
If they did not think this through carefully…
“This is indeed a very big problem.” Levis nodded. “Anyone who could become a Top Operative would not be simple-minded. They will definitely investigate carefully. However, I think this is not something we should be worrying about now.”
“Eh?” Hong Dali wondered. “Why do you say that?”
“Think about it, Chris is just reporting. Why is she reporting it? It’s because she found clues, not the entire story.” Blood Demon explained, “If she knows too much, it will arouse suspicion.”
“That’s true. Hehe, it seems I am thinking too much into it.” Hong Dali laughed. “That’s it. Sister Christina, set off now. Remember, safety first!”
“I understand. Young Master, don’t worry.”
…
Near the cave where the Green Phoenix was.
After Razer and the other two had examined the bodies of Malone and his guards, they returned here, set up base, and waited for the Honorary Aristocrats to provide clues.
One billion Dimu Dollars was a lot, but they did not care.
A High Noble had been killed. After they caught the culprit and destroyed his home planet, they would ask the Aristocrats from that galaxy for a compensation of at least one trillion Dimu Dollars. Buying intelligence for a billion Dimu Dollars was just a small investment. They would get it back eventually.
“Speaking of which, two days have passed without anyone finding a clue.” Razer was sitting leisurely on the sofa in the spacecraft and drinking tea. He said, “Those useless people, they can’t even find a person.”
“It should be soon.” Fang said with a smile, “With such a big reward, no matter how well hidden that person is, it’s no use. As long as he is on this planet, we can dig him out!”
As they were talking, someone outside suddenly reported, “Report! Someone said that she found an important clue!”
“Oh?!” Razer was immediately excited when he heard the news. He lowered the teacup gently and smiled. “Haha, not bad, that was quick. Tell her to come in.”
Soon, Christina, who was not even disguised, walked in.
“You said you found a clue? What galaxy are you from? What’s your name?” Razer asked, looking at the woman in front of him.
“The Milky Way,” Christina told the truth. “My name is Christina.”
“The Milky Way?” Razer was surprised. “Are you from the same galaxy as Hong Dali? What kind of clue did you find?”
“What I found was a set of shackles on the ground.” Christina took out the shackles that Hong Dali had cut off from Ye Huayun and put them on the table in front of Razer. “I have seen this set of shackles before. They belonged to Sir Malone.”
“Malone’s?” Razer picked up the shackles and quickly nodded. “Yes, it’s indeed Malone’s shackles. So, tell me, so what if you found this set of shackles?”
“Sir, think about it.” Christina said in a low voice, “Sir Malone abducted a woman from the Spiral Galaxy here. Sir Malone probably went to see someone after that and got murdered. The shackles were also cut. In that case, there is a very high possibility that this woman is now in the hands of the killer.”
When Christina finished speaking, Razer and the other two looked at each other.
“Well, what you say does make sense.” Razer rubbed his chin and thought about it, then said, “With Malone’s character, it’s not unexpected for him to abduct a woman. After he abducted the woman, he would probably have gone look for the person he had come here to find. That was when he got killed. Which means it’s highly likely that the person he was looking for is the killer. Who was he looking for? His first target must be Hong Dali. That means…”
Razer suddenly laughed. “Christina, this is interesting. Do you know that you are reporting someone from your own galaxy??”
“I only know that it’s an honor to be able to provide information to you, Sir,” Christina said this without hesitation.
“Good!” Razer pounded the table fiercely. “Guards, bring the Galaxy Aristocrat!”
“Yes!” The guard went out. About twenty minutes later, the guard brought Galaxy Aristocrat Jiang Qianxue back with him. When she saw Christina, she immediately froze. “Why are you here?”
“Respected Miss Qianxue,” Christina bowed to Jiang Qianxue, then said respectfully, “I’m here to provide a lead.”
“Provide a lead? What did you find out?” Jiang Qianxue was very angry at this moment. Christina dared to betray Hong Dali! She wished she could kill Christina with a single slash from her sword, but that would inevitably cause even more problems. In the end, she could only suppress her anger. She did not do anything, and she did not say much more, in case she slipped up.
“You better not ask about anything else.” Razer smiled. “You just need to tell me if she’s from the Milky Way. That’s all.”
“Yes, that’s right.” Countless thoughts were spinning around in Jiang Qianxue’s mind at this moment. She was very smart and naturally knew that even if there were 10,000 questions, she could not ask them now. Otherwise, she would implicate everyone, which would be even more troublesome. So, she answered only exactly what Razer asked, not a word more.
