When Han Xiao brought a group of dejected prisoners to the Enia hub prison, Gabra, Hardaway and other guards officers had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Excellency Black Star!" Gabra took two steps forward and saluted respectfully.

Han Xiao is on the same level as his boss. He receives guests on behalf of his own power. He pays great attention to his attitude and keeps his posture low.

"Hello." Han Xiao nodded, and with a flick of his finger, the confinement device flew these prisoners to the jailer and handed them over to the jailer's care.

Hadaway and others spontaneously followed Han Xiao, with Gabra leading the way. They all arrived at the interrogation room. The jailers detained all the prisoners separately, giving each of them a luxurious private room.

"Do you want to preside over the interrogation?" Gabra turned to ask Han Xiao.

"No, come on, let me see your craftsmanship." Han Xiao shook his head.

He had already used Han's electrotherapy on the two masterminds behind the scenes and got the information he wanted, but now it was just a formality.

The two masterminds behind the scenes were indeed latent personnel of the Federation of Radiance and the Ethereal Religion. They served in the plan to put pressure on the Scarlet Empire and were members of one of the groups. From the words of these two people, Han Xiao saw the iceberg of this huge plan.

A corner.

The pressure plan targets multiple areas of the empire and is divided into many groups. Each group is responsible for a different area. The group these two people belong to is specifically responsible for provoking chaotic events related to evolutionary totems in the empire.

Issue employment, use chess pieces to influence the security of the empire... and also do some special actions.

For example, the assassination of Ludwell's relatives and descendants this time was to pretend that the chaos of the evolutionary totem caused the accidental death of a descendant of a high-ranking official. The goal was to affect the unity within the empire and increase internal pressure.

It is worth mentioning that the targets they target are not manually selected, but through intelligent calculations to find out which targets may have an impact on the empire, and then prioritize targets with high probability.

This is how Ludwell's grandson was selected. The result of intelligent calculation is that killing this person has a high chance of causing a change in Ludwell's position. A huge plan like this involving dozens of fields will affect the whole body.

, using intelligent computing to select targets is far more efficient than manual thinking.

The Glory and the Void are targeting the Empire everywhere, but as long as the secret conspiracy is not exposed or put on the table, then everyone will abide by the unspoken rules and only compete in secret.

But now that there are witnesses, the situation is different. These two people are of little value to Han Xiao, but they are quite useful to the empire. Even if Guanghui and Void Spirit kill them and refuse to admit that these two people are theirs,

The empire can also allow them to use waste heat and waste in some areas.

While watching the prisoner being interrogated, Han Xiao secretly thought about the matter.

I thought it was just a group of third-rate forces causing trouble, but I didn't expect to be involved in such a riot, and accidentally saved Ludwell's relatives...

Fording was out of luck. If he hadn't discovered Ludwell's grandson in advance, he might not have been able to save him in time.

"What a blessed general."

Han Xiao shook his head and sighed, touched his chin, and thought to himself:

"As for Ludwell..."

He was no stranger to this name and knew that he was a high-ranking imperial official who had made great achievements in the economic field...but in his eyes, Ludwell had nothing to do with him.

Han Xiao only knew that there were surrender factions within the empire, but did not know who they were.

After all, Ludwell holds a high position and does not have many political opponents as a neutral faction. They are both members of the empire. Other empire officials will not reveal too carefully to Han Xiao, and Ulan Riel and Tarrokov are even less likely to say. Strict calculation

After all, allies are still outsiders, while high-ranking officials in the empire are our own. Everyone is mingling with the imperial officialdom, and no one is willing to make enemies out of thin air. This is very realistic.

Halfway through the interrogation, the scene was slightly disharmonious, and Han Xiao was about to leave. Gabra immediately abandoned the interrogation and took the initiative to send him to the prison gate.

"Thanks to Your Excellency Black Star for helping me, otherwise these two spies would have run away." Gabra smiled broadly, his ugly face made him smile ferociously.

"a piece of cake."

"Your Excellency Black Star, do you still want to stay in Ania Hub? Please give me a chance to entertain..."

"No need, we are ready to leave." Han Xiao waved his hand.

After this incident, his identity was exposed, and he was afraid that he would be watched again, so he was not prepared to stay on this planet anymore.

Just in time, Fording has successfully sneaked into the Punisher Alliance, and Han Xiao is going to let the fleet follow quietly, while tempering the last bit of strength, while waiting for Fording to find the relic that triggers the hidden boss.

Under the respectful gaze of the members of the Enia hub, Han Xiao took the guards into the sky and returned to the spaceship parked at the airport.

As soon as he returned to the room, Han Xiao's communicator beeped. He glanced at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

After the connection, an old face appeared on the virtual screen, with a calm demeanor and a calm tone:

"I am Ludwell, Black Star. Thank you for saving my child."

"It's just a simple effort." Han Xiao said politely when he heard this, and looked at the senior official of the empire up and down, "This is our first meeting."

"Yes." Ludwell nodded, "I have admired you for a long time."

"You're welcome, let's talk to each other." Han Xiao smiled lightly.

Seeing Han Xiao's calm attitude, Ludwell had a better impression of him. It's not like he had never dealt with other Transcendent A Grades, such as the Dark Emperor, who obviously likes to stick to others with his cold butt.

Even the old dragon would have the arrogance of a Transcendent A Grade and a nonchalant attitude. A Transcendent A Grade as friendly as Han Xiao is rare in the universe.

After a few words of greeting, Ludwell formally expressed his gratitude. If someone saved his grandson, he should at least take the initiative to express his gratitude. If he pretended that nothing happened, he would have no emotional intelligence and he would naturally not make this mistake.

.

"We are all colleagues in the empire. I will help if I can. I can't just sit back and watch others cause trouble in the empire." Han Xiao didn't take it seriously.

A smile flashed across Ludwell's old face, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly squinted his eyes and asked seemingly casually:

"I heard... that the Infinite Consortium is investing heavily in Shattered Star Ring?"

"Yes, they are planning to expand their industry there. They are rich and powerful, and I have also been a little bit shocked. Overlord is quite good at seizing business opportunities." Han Xiao understood the other party's subtext and raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, I understand." Ludwell smiled lightly, "Next time you come to my place, I'll treat you to dinner. I still have some work on hand, so I'll hang up now."

"See you next time."

After ending the call, Han Xiao played with the communicator with a playful look on his face.

The Crimson Empire has long known about the competition between the Black Star Legion and the war field, because it is not good to favor either side in this regard. It cannot designate the Black Star Legion's leading position and prevent the overlord from seizing the opportunity to develop, so it simply refuses to help the two.

, sit back and watch the business competition between the two allies.

However, listening to Ludwell’s subtext, it seems that he wants to express something in this regard?

Ludwell didn’t say it clearly. Han Xiao didn’t know how he would help, and he couldn’t be sure whether the other party really wanted to help. He spoke vaguely and liked to let others guess. This type of official is not uncommon.

Others may not have this energy, but it just so happens... Ludwell is in charge of the economic and trade fields of the empire, and this matter is within his scope of power!

"If he helps, it will be of great help." Han Xiao pondered.

Imperial resource support is on the one hand, and economic cooperation is on the other hand. The difference between the two is a bit similar to teaching a man to fish and teaching a man to fish. There is a lot of room for manipulation. After the distribution of benefits in Glittering World, what was originally intended to be

Balance, for a long time, the Red Empire will not have new support projects, but we can’t say for sure now.

Fording's move put me on the line with senior officials in this field, which can be used to deal with the Infinite Financial Group. Is this the legendary "protagonist" who has meat to eat... Han Xiao couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Didi..."

At this time, the communicator rang again. This time the caller was from a guy he knew. He was Gabra's boss and an ally of the Transcendent A Grade Empire who owned the Enia Hub.

When a meeting was held to deal with Ability God a few years ago, Han Xiao met this person and left his communication method. This was the first time he took the initiative to contact him.

The purpose of this Transcendent A Grade's visit was also very clear. He was to thank Han Xiao for helping to maintain security in his territory, and invited Han Xiao to be a guest at his place. The two parties exchanged a few polite words before hanging up the communication. What was the use of this call?

...Don't ask, just asking is to arrange noodles.

…

In the office, Ludwell put down the communicator, thought for a while, and turned on the internal line.

"Contact me Becolodi."

Becolodi, a powerful official and a staunch supporter of the handover faction, but they belong to different political factions. Ludwell is a centrist, while Becolodi is an important figure in the hardliners. Although the two are

They all support the surrender faction on the issue of evolutionary cubes, but their approaches are different.

As a neutral party, Ludwell could at most make suggestions and express his position to the head of state, Ulan Riel, while Bekrodi was inclined to take action.

Ludwell is in charge of the economic field, and the movements of the Infinite Consortium are also within his scope of observation. His experience tells him that behind the plans of the Infinite Consortium, there may be support from certain factions in the empire, and Becolodi is highly suspicious.

As a semi-informed person, Ludwell had no intention of interfering before, because this move was in line with his position, so although he was not the leader, he turned a blind eye to it.

But now, since he owes Black Star a favor, Ludwell has decided to intervene. His position in supporting the Handover Faction will not change, but the approach can be fine-tuned. Officials within the system often exercise power in places like this.

See the secrets within a small space.

The first step is to talk to Bekrodi, sound the alarm, and make the other party restrain themselves, thus affecting the behind-the-scenes transactions between the other party and the Infinite Financial Group.

Due to his status, Becorodi may not be afraid of Black Star, but he has to pay attention to the opinions of another leader of the imperial political faction!

…

The turmoil at the Ainiya hub has come to an end, with a large number of casualties and serious property damage. It will have a certain impact on the business of the transfer station, and it will take some time to regain its popularity.

After receiving a generous bounty, the Punisher Alliance was unwilling to stay for a long time and planned to leave this place.

After this battle, Fording and Aurora completely integrated into the group and boarded the ship together to leave.

"Where are we going now?" Aurora asked curiously.

"You are still new. Let me take you back to the headquarters first."

Raymond smiled what he thought was a friendly smile, and Aurora thought he was making a face.

Hearing this, Fording nodded slightly.

The thing that Lao Hei asked me to find is probably at the headquarters of the Punisher Alliance.
Chapter completed!
