Chapter 940: Chapter 808: Effortless Suppression

Since the Fourth Master is willing to offer his allegiance, Qu Jianlei naturally wouldn’t oppose it.

Hearing this, he nodded, ”If it’s possible, that would be best... Youyou, do you have any suggestions?”

Youyou glanced at the Fourth Master and spoke softly, ”Let him speak.”

Is it already planned out? Qu Jianlei was a bit surprised by the other’s enthusiasm, so he raised his chin slightly.

The Fourth Master spoke in a deep voice, ”The reason Youyou was imprisoned for ten years is because she offended some people’s interests...”

”Coincidentally, I know that a group called ’Xingye’ is developing on Star No. 4.”

Xingye Group is a comprehensive industrial group, involved in military and civilian sectors, backed by other conglomerates.

However, the Fourth Master has recently been close to the scavengers and knows that Xingye has ties to the military.

For personal reasons, he is very careful about gathering related intelligence.

Thus, he knows that among the three most active A-levels of Xingye, two are quite focused on Wasteland affairs.

One of them, an A-level, has already settled on Star No. 4 and even brought his family.

Qu Jianlei looked at Youyou in surprise, ”I thought it would take a while before avenging you.”

A few days ago, he had mentioned that avenging Youyou should depend on her own will.

Ever since she was rescued, her condition and emotions weren’t very stable, so he planned to wait until she recuperated before discussing it.

Unexpectedly, she had already shared the related information with the Fourth Master.

Youyou shook her head upon hearing this, ”I’m not in a hurry for revenge, disputes caused by interests are indifferent to right and wrong...”

Indeed, she had come to terms with it, but since the Fourth Master asked, she answered a bit.

After being interrogated for ten years, she had learned some information about the mastermind behind it—at least which forces were involved.

The Fourth Master didn’t know the specific forces involved, but after Youyou pointed out the relevant forces, he knew who might be involved.

Their intelligence matched up, and the result became clear.

Due to his own experiences, the Fourth Master never had a good impression of those shady entities influencing the military.

Combined with Youyou’s involvement, he was very willing to take action proactively, not just because he felt he had to prove himself.

After hearing his explanation, Qu Jianlei finally understood that he was not the primary target of goodwill.

However, this was even more reassuring for him—the other’s motives were clear, no need for guesswork.

Moreover, being willing to help a friend seek revenge is a commendable trait.

So he looked at Youyou, ”A single Xingye Group shouldn’t have that much influence... are there other forces?”

”Xingye’s presence is the most obvious,” Youyou answered softly, then sighed, ”The possibilities with other forces are just too numerous.”

This was indeed a frustrating issue; with too many suspects, only those who can be firmly identified could be chosen.

Suddenly, Bentley spoke up, ”If they can make the mistake of punishing the innocent, so can we.”

Seeing everyone turn to him in surprise, he spread his hands and naturally said, ”Am I wrong?”

”Of course not,” Flower Scorpion supported him without hesitation, ”Since we’re speaking with strength, we have that strength.”

Claire nodded continuously at the words, as all three of them had experienced the harshness of the Wasteland, and didn’t think this mindset was wrong at all.

The Fourth Master, although also decisive and ruthless, couldn’t help but glance at Qu Jianlei when he heard this—do you think so too?

In the end, after staying on Star No. 4 for so long, he had developed a bit of an ordinary person’s emotions.

Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment but still shook his head, ”Forget it, don’t become the person you hate.”

Bentley and the other two instantly fell silent, respecting the opinion of the leader—the key is that his words weren’t wrong either.

Xiang Xue, however, expressed, ”Even if we don’t broaden the scope of retribution, we can’t just target the people directly involved, can we?”

The Fourth Master was mentally prepared for this point.

He candidly stated, ”Collateral damage isn’t a problem, but Xingye has quite a few people on Star No. 4... taking them all down would be difficult.”

Difficult? Xiang Xue raised an eyebrow in surprise, ”Aren’t there only three A-levels?”

”I don’t want to use the power of the undead,” the Fourth Master looked at Qu Jianlei, ”having your help would be best.”

”Helping is what we should do,” Qu Jianlei nodded, then looked at Bentley, ”Old Ben, you organize it!”

The life and death of a few A-levels weren’t his concern anymore; it would be good practice for everyone.

In the following days, everyone gathered intelligence and acted on the fifth night.

That night, Qu Jianlei’s team went all out—except for himself, everyone else was dispatched.

Even Claire was brought along because, in the team’s plan, her Dark Attribute could play a significantly important role.

In the past, she wasn’t considered an ally of Qu Jianlei primarily because her cultivation level was too low.

However, the opponents Qu Jianlei typically faced were at the Supreme Level, while the current opponents were below A-level.

C-level Claire was slightly less effective against Supreme and A-level opponents but was more than qualified as a wild card against B-levels.

After a night, everyone returned with abundant spoils.

The Xingye branch on Star No. 4 was eradicated, with heavy casualties, including two military personnel.

Events involving military casualties are usually quite serious, but the incident location is not in a Military Region, and it happened late at night...

The involved A-level individual was also killed, along with more than twenty members of his family.

The next day, the tragedy spread throughout Star No. 4, and this time, even the Military intervened in the investigation.

Others believed that Xingye was just a company slightly cooperating with the Military; very few knew how deep the waters ran.

However, the Military couldn’t appear too enthusiastic in public, so they just stated that they were paying close attention to the matter.

But in private, they urged the Central Government of Star No. 4 to solve the case quickly, otherwise, the Military would directly intervene.

Anyone who understood the rhetoric knew that there were definitely certain issues involved.

However, Qu Jianlei was no longer interested in the matter because someone contacted him through Xiao Qin’s wristwatch for a meeting.

This was a prearranged method by Granny Jia. Qu Jianlei went as agreed and met a B-level Awakened.

This person had gray hair, looking like he had one foot in the grave, yet he carried an entire set of starship transfer documents.

For the entire next day, Qu Jianlei was busy with this matter and only completed the transfer by evening.

However, this starship was quite satisfactory to him.

It looked like an ordinary Armed Merchant Ship, but the armor was incredibly thick, almost matching that of a heavy-duty merchant ship.

The unassuming exterior gave it a certain element of deception. The internal defense was quite strong, yet not excessive.

Even with a detailed inspection, no one would think there’s anything odd about this starship—at most, they would just feel slightly less secure.

Of course, the thickness of the armor resulted in a significantly reduced internal cargo hold.

But... would anyone really think this starship was purely for cargo transport?

Moreover, this starship had an inspection exemption pass—limited to the Hope Star Realm.

The starship was nearly 90% new, with all its parts functioning excellently, almost like it was newly purchased.

Qu Jianlei was very clear that compared to the starship he seized, the price difference should be between 150 million to 200 million.

Or maybe more? It’s hard to say, and he had no idea how Granny Jia coordinated it all.

But he didn’t ask questions; saying more would result in more mistakes. It was better to ask the old lady later.

On the contrary, the other party seemed to be probing his identity, unintentionally or otherwise.

”To be honest, this starship was never intended for sale. Your influence must be really significant.”

Qu Jianlei could only listen expressionlessly—not out of arrogance, but because he genuinely didn’t know how to respond.

After the transfer was completed, he returned to the inn, just in time for another inspection—with soldiers accompanying.

However, this was when the Fourth Master’s energy became apparent.

He had been operating on Star No. 4 for so many years, not for nothing, not to mention the underlying influence of the scavengers.

He brushed off the inspection lightly, informing Qu Jianlei that he would need a few more days to hand over the work.

”That’s not a problem,” Qu Jianlei was more curious about another matter, ”They didn’t retain your mother?”

”No!” the Fourth Master replied sullenly, ”I thought my deputy couldn’t do without me, but instead, he wished me a speedy Advancement to the Supreme.”

He left this time under the pretext of retreating for Breaking Through, to avoid more explanations and to cut off any attempts to retain him.

The deputy clearly knew that he was a few years away from Breaking Through, yet he straightforwardly offered his blessings.

Qu Jianlei chuckled at this, ”Looks like you’re not as in demand as you thought.”

”People are just wearing masks,” said the rugged Fourth Master, surprisingly able to say such words.

But immediately, he spoke in a deep voice, ”Camille said she could refund one million, but wants to know your identity.”

Qu Jianlei blinked a few times and then laughed, ”Forget it. My identity is worth more than that.”

”The Mountain Fortress we just joined isn’t worth just that... right?”

The Fourth Master shook his head and calmly said, ”I’m just a worthless life; I’ve never thought of myself as valuable.”

A dignified A-level, with an extremely aggressive Gold Attribute, saying such words, shows his disappointment in the Imperial.

Qu Jianlei smiled and was about to continue speaking when his expression slightly changed, ”You guys chat; I’ve got something to do.”

He entered the room and closed the door, taking out the Vortex, ”What happened with the old lady?”

When he left Star No. 2, he left a Pioneer Terminal in the manor, containing a data doppelgänger of Little Lake.

With the Pioneer’s computing power, it couldn’t do much, but transmitting some data in real-time was a piece of cake.

Just now, the doppelgänger of Little Lake sent a message: it seemed Granny Jia encountered a bit of trouble.

The Big Head Butterfly slowly spun, ”The Military dispatched four Supreme Levels and two camp-level warships... to inspect the manor!”
