Chapter 1113: Chapter 979: Governor Seeks Help

In the reward distribution, three percent is a common proportion, thirty percent... is a mere gold mine worth such effort?

Something’s not right! Qu Jianlei instinctively made a judgment.

No matter how good the gold mine is, the reserves are ultimately limited, and many people are waiting to share the profit, how could they offer thirty percent?

”What’s the accusation?”

”No specific charges,” Big Head Butterfly said leisurely, turning its body, ”Just mentioned that she’s extremely dangerous and suspected in multiple murders.”

Murder cases... that do match a thirty percent share, even though it’s still a bit much, at least not too abrupt.

Multiple murders, that stands as well. That night, Qu Jianlei forgot how many people his side killed.

At least twenty or so enemies, some were entirely wiped out families, quite a number indeed.

But still feels that things are not as they seem; there should be other hidden elements.

A few days later, Iron Skin Snake found Paranoid Man for a chat again.

The Imperial is conducting large-scale investigations into Supreme; quite funny to have concealed Supremes under one’s name as a planet’s chief guardian.

But Iron Skin Snake didn’t mind, already the chief guardian, what’s left to climb? What’s there to care about?

He sought out Paranoid Man because of the recent pressure.

Recently, the Celestial River has been calm and peaceful, seeming harmonious, but how many Supremes who left can return?

If returning Supremes gain something, would the planet’s order remain unchanged?

He complained to Paranoid Man for a bit, then started toasting and swapping cups.

After some food and drinks, Iron Skin Snake casually asked: Maiden Star Realm, don’t you want to take a look?

His tone suggested he also intended to go there and hoped to bring Paranoid Man along.

Paranoid Man chuckled and indicated he wasn’t very interested in that place.

Anyway, this kind of exchange is merely to express one’s intention.

They chatted a bit more, then mentioned the increasing number of rewards recently—some are for offenses, but more are for finding people.

Speaking of that, one must mention the very eye-catching Celestial Sound on the list.

Iron Skin Snake clearly stated that the cases involving Celestial Sound are indeed significant, likely linked with multiple Supremes.

Moreover, Paradise Star is one of the key planets under investigation; that woman had visited Paradise Star and later her whereabouts are unclear.

At this point, it wasn’t just Paranoid Man listening—after all, there are no secrets in a lodging.

Additionally, recently two merchant ships from Earl Steff’s family were attacked, reportedly ambushed by an archaeologist organization.

The Earl did not disclose specific details but hoped Paradise Star would issue a bounty reward.

Iron Skin Snake couldn’t help but scoff at this.

”Who knows what they did, being wanted aimlessly, do they really think the government is run by nobility?”

Overall, the most concerning matter for Qu Jianlei and others is about Celestial Sound.

After Iron Skin Snake left, Celestial Sound expressed concern, ”Wonder how that gold mine is doing now.”

This actually doesn’t require asking; silence answered it all.

Celestial Sound is somewhat concerned with the place regarding Koning Supreme compared to him.

”Can we visit Qingsha Star before long?”

”No,” Granny Jia firmly indicated, ”Firstly, someone could be watching, very unsafe.”

”Even if no one’s watching, there must have been changes there, but you can’t do anything about it, otherwise it’d be provoking the Imperial anew.”

”Why risk going and end up being frustrated?”

Celestial Sound remained silent for a long while, finally sighed softly, ”It’s a pity, it will affect him again.”

Everyone actually knows there’s this person in that place.

That’s precisely why the team doesn’t need to deploy Xiao Moshan and Xiao Qin like on Purple Star.

But now, there’s really no choice; Qu Jianlei spoke solemnly.

”Interfering with him now would rather harm him; with you staying hidden, his situation might improve slightly.”

Bentley remarked nonchalantly, ”If he doesn’t die, that’s it; if he does, we’ll avenge him.”

This is the Imperial’s usual way, not for mourning over things beyond control; just revenge if needed.

Celestial Sound naturally understood, and could only sigh subtly.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and the lodging on Paradise Star welcomed the tourist season again.

The Super Spirit Gathering Array has been deduced almost completely, looking for a place to settle it.

After observing for half a year, Qu Jianlei confirmed that Lost Star is continuously under military surveillance.

Not that the military found something, but it’s indeed fit for hiding people, and recently Supremes noticeably decreased.

Therefore, Qu Jianlei plans to set this array on Homeland Star... the only relatively stable option at present.

But before that, he plans to visit Purple Star again, to settle the payment for the previous computer assembly, and buy another.

After all, the next step is to calculate the means to advance beyond Supreme; one computer feels insufficient.

This time, he was accompanied by Granny Jia, Qinghu Bentley, and Flower Scorpion.

Purple Pool certainly doesn’t have anything major happening; it seems the last hard stance against the Imperial Storm added quite a lot of points for our side.

As for Qu Jianlei wanting to settle the remaining balance from last time, there’s really no need to worry much about the source of funds.

Lately, the Supreme Circle is experiencing stormy weather, so it’s quite normal that he got such a large sum of money by chance, isn’t it?

However, Jilt from Ping’an expressed that there is no rush to repay the loan.

The energy stone ore mining is going smoothly; the net profit they receive annually has already surpassed a hundred million, so there’s absolutely no repayment pressure.

Jilt obviously intends to deeply bind the team, saying the interest for installments could be reduced a little.

In fact, the second computer group could be considered for full payment purchase as well, offering substantial discounts.

Qu Jianlei thinks this is rather good, since he still needs to save some money—the computer group is a gold-devouring beast, and testing the teleportation array also requires money.

However, procuring a computer group is not something that happens in one or two days; they still need to wait here for some time.

A few days later, Zhan Donglai, the Supreme, heard Ping’an’s Supreme was here again and came specifically for a visit.

Through this time, Qu Jianlei could ascertain that the Purple River Government is fairly reliable, at least not producing any mishaps.

Therefore, meeting this person is no problem, so he went alone to Ping’an Headquarters.

Zhan Donglai, upon seeing Qu Jianlei, didn’t inquire about the whereabouts of other Supremes, just briefly stating the current state of Purple Star.

Generally speaking, the planet is developing rather well without being significantly affected.

The underlying meaning in the words was that Ping’an Trading Group’s smooth mining owes greatly to the support from the planet.

Qu Jianlei distractedly nodded, ”The initial cooperation was not smooth, but later on we still have to thank you for your support.”

But you initially killed a Supreme! Zhan Donglai sighed internally.

However, there was no need to voice such things, he hesitated and stated.

”Creating a favorable business environment for you is the government’s duty; I personally have a small matter I’d like your help with.”

”Personal...” Qu Jianlei took out a cigarette and lit it, responding casually, ”What’s the matter?”

Zhan Donglai pondered for a moment before speaking, ”I have a school junior who previously went to the Maiden Star Realm...”

It turns out he also comes from a prestigious academy, one of the Empire’s four famous schools, Optimus Academy.

His junior is named Palamera, an Earth Attribute Supreme, with whom he shares a great relationship.

This person was also a notable genius at Optimus Academy and heard there were opportunities in the Maiden Star Realm, inviting people to go with him.

A while ago, he informed Zhan Donglai through someone that he and his friends were trapped in Celestial River’s Shattered Star Belt.

The Shattered Star Belt is also a large celestial body group primarily for mining, previously contributing greatly to the Empire’s development and expansion.

However, as it falls within the Inner Circle, the mining duration of the Shattered Star Belt is longer, and many resources are nearing depletion now.

To ensure strategic reserves, the Empire has sealed most of the minerals; currently, not many mines are open for exploration.

The Shattered Star Belt has numerous complex celestial phenomena, with a diverse environment, so many research institutions are currently carrying out projects there.

It resembles the head of the asteroid belt in Celestial Hook Star Realm; the entire Shattered Star Belt is under effective control by the Empire.

But it’s undeniably vast, and government regulation is quite challenging.

Coupled with some private unauthorized mining actions, the order is relatively chaotic.

According to the messenger, Palamera’s group comprises four Supremes, with one being an alumni of Optimus Academy.

They didn’t acquire any opportunities in the Maiden Star Realm; instead, they were targeted on their return journey.

After a bout of space conflict, Palamera and others had their starship destroyed and are currently hiding in the Shattered Star Belt.

The force attacking them remains unidentified but is undeniably powerful, openly searching the Shattered Star Belt gradually.

Zhan Donglai now wishes to entrust Qu Jianlei’s group to rescue his junior’s party.

”You’ve sought the wrong person,” Qu Jianlei waved a hand, nonchalantly stating, ”You’re in the government, coordination would be easier.”

Zhan Donglai responded with a bitter smile, ”But the problem is, the other party also has people in the government.”

The central star of Celestial River is Yuanwang Star, with Purple Pool ranking second.

When the other party was searching so publicly, many people from the Shattered Star Belt had already reported the situation to them—this was too outrageous.

Then Zhan Donglai spoke up, stating that it wasn’t up to outsiders to act arrogantly in Celestial River Star Realm, and called for verification of those people’s identities.

Yet the Star Domain Government’s response was that the situation of those people... no need to inquire!

Moreover, the Star Domain Government indeed reacted, asking those people to leave, with the military overseeing the order within the Shattered Star Belt.

Once the military’s deployment was in place, stringent checks were imposed; it’s clear the opposing party has not given up chasing Palamera and others.

Zhan Donglai protested again, but to no effect; he’s merely the second-in-command on Purple Star.

Furthermore, the Empire’s decision to screen Supremes hasn’t stopped, so the military’s strict checking of Supremes is reasonable.

Both sides are exerting their respective influences, with neither having absolute superiority, so the official stance can only muddle through in the middle.

Up until now, Palamera and others are still trapped in the Shattered Star Belt.

Zhan Donglai looked at Qu Jianlei, ”With your side’s strength, you should be able to mediate this dispute.”
