When Han Xiao arrived at the Ainia Hub Prison with a group of dejected captives, Gabra, Hardaway and other guards had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord Blackstar!" Gabra took two steps forward and saluted respectfully.

Han Xiao is at the same level as his boss, he receives on behalf of his own forces, pays attention to his own attitude, and lowers his posture.

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

Hardaway and the others spontaneously followed behind Han Xiao, Gabra led the way in front, and everyone came all the way to the interrogation room, where the jailers divided all the prisoners into separate custodys, each with a luxurious single room.

"Are you going to preside over the interrogation?" Gabra turned his head and asked Han Xiao.

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

He had already used Han's electrotherapy on the two masterminds behind the scenes, and he got the information he wanted, and now he was just going through the motions.

These two masterminds behind the scenes were indeed the undercover personnel of the Radiant Federation and the Ethereal Spirit Sect, serving the pressure plan against the Red Empire, and were members of one of the groups, and from the mouths of these two people, Han Xiao saw the tip of the iceberg of this huge plan.

The pressure plan targets multiple areas of the empire, divided into many groups, each responsible for a different area, and the group of these two people is specifically responsible for provoking chaos related to the evolutionary totem in the empire, using chess pieces to influence the security of the empire by issuing hires on the black market through backdoor employment...... And by the way, do some special actions.

For example, the assassination of Ludwell's relatives and descendants was to pretend that the chaos of the Evolver Totem led to the accidental death of a high-ranking official's descendants, with the goal of influencing unity within the empire and increasing internal pressure.

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

This is how Ludwell's grandson was chosen, and the result of intelligent computing is that there is a good chance that killing this person will lead to a change in Ludeville's position - such a huge project involving dozens of fields, involving the whole body, using intelligent computing to select targets is far more efficient than manual thinking.

Radiance and Ethereal Spirits are targeting the Empire everywhere, but as long as the secret conspiracy is not exposed and not put on the table, then everyone abides by the unspoken rules and only competes in the dark.

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 Radiance and Ethereal Spirits don't admit that these two people are their people, the Empire will be able to let them use their surplus heat in some areas and use waste.

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

I thought it was just a group of third-rate forces doing trouble, but I didn't expect to get involved in such an incident and save Ludville's relatives by mistake......

Fording had no luck, and if he hadn't discovered Ludwell's thief in advance, he might not have been able to save people in time.

"What a blessing."

Han Xiao shook his head and sighed, touched his chin, and groaned secretly:

"As for Ludville......"

He was no stranger to the name, knowing that this was a high-ranking official of the empire who had made great achievements in the economic field...... But in his eyes, Ludville had little to do with himself.

Han Xiao only knew that there was a Shangjiao faction within the empire, but he didn't know who it was.

After all, Ludville was in a high position, and as a neutral faction, he didn't have many political enemies, and he was also a member of the empire, so other imperial officials wouldn't reveal it too carefully to Han Xiao, let alone Ulanriel and Tarrokov. Strictly calculated, allies are still outsiders, and high-ranking officials of the empire are their own people, everyone is mixed with the imperial officialdom, looking down and not looking up, no one wants to make enemies out of thin air, which is very realistic.

Halfway through the interrogation, the picture was slightly discordant, Han Xiao was ready to leave, and Gabra immediately threw down the interrogation and took the initiative to send it to the prison gate.

"Thanks to the help of His Excellency Black Star, otherwise these two spies would have run away." Gabra was smiling, ugly, and smiling hideously.

"It's a small thing."

"Does Lord Blackstar still stay in the Ainia Hub? Please give me a chance to entertain......"

"No need, we're ready to go." 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 ready to continue to stay on this planet.

It just so happened that Ferdin's had successfully infiltrated the Punisher Alliance, and Han Xiao was ready to let the fleet quietly follow behind, while honing his last bit of strength, while waiting for Ferding to find the relic that triggered the hidden boss.

Under the respectful gaze of the members of the Ainia Hub, Han Xiao took off with the guard officer and returned to the spaceship parked at the airport.

As soon as he returned to the room, Han Xiao's communicator rang dripping, and after a glance, it was an unfamiliar number.

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

"I'm Ludwell, Blackstar, thank you for saving my child."

"It's just a gesture." When Han Xiao heard this, he also said politely, and looked the high-ranking official of the empire up and down by the way, "Let's meet for the first time." ”

"Yes." Ludwell nodded, "I've admired you for a long time. ”

"You're welcome, let's be with each other." Han Xiao smiled faintly.

Seeing Han Xiao's calm attitude, Ludwell's perception of him was a little better. It's not that he hasn't dealt with other super A-level, like the Dark Emperor's kind of high-cold goods, obviously likes to stick other people's hot faces with a cold butt, even if it is an old dragon, he will bring a super A-level arrogance, and his attitude is ignorant, Han Xiao is such an affinity for the super A-level, which is rare in the universe.

After a few pleasantries, Ludwell officially expressed his gratitude, others saved his grandson thief, at least take the initiative to come over to thank him, if nothing happened, then there would be no emotional intelligence, and he would naturally not make this mistake.

"They are all colleagues in the empire, they can help, I can't sit back and watch others make trouble in the empire." Han Xiao didn't care.

A smile flashed on Ludwell's old face, he groaned for a moment, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, and asked casually:

"I heard...... Is the Infinity Consortium investing in the Shattered Star Ring on a massive scale? ”

"Yes, they are ready to expand the industry over there, they have a lot of money, and I have also been hit by some shocks, this guy is quite good at seizing business opportunities." Han Xiao comprehended the other party's subtext and raised his eyebrows.

"yes, I see." Ludwell smiled faintly, "Next time you come to my place, I'll invite you to dinner, I still have some work on my hands, so I'll hang up first." ”

"See you next time."

Ending the call, Han Xiao played with the communicator, his face showing a playful look.

The competition between the Black Star Legion and the field of war, the Red Empire has long known, because it is not good to favor either in this regard, and it is impossible to designate the leading position of the Black Star Legion, and not let the overlord seize the opportunity to develop, so it simply does not help each other and sits back and watches the business competition between the two allies.

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

Ludville didn't say it explicitly, and Han Xiao didn't know how he would help, and he couldn't be sure if the other party really wanted to help - he spoke ambiguously and liked to let others guess, and this type of official was not uncommon.

Others may not have this energy, but it's just right...... Ludwil was in charge of the empire's economy and trade, and this matter was within his sphere of power!

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

Imperial resource support is one thing, economic cooperation is another, the difference between the two is a bit similar to teaching people to fish and teaching people to fish, there is a lot of room for operation. After the distribution of benefits in the Shining World, in order to balance, there will be no new support projects in the Red Empire for a long time, but now it is impossible to say.

Ferdin's hand has put me on the line with high-ranking officials in this area, just to be able to deal with the Infinite Consortium, is this the legendary "protagonist" to have meat to eat...... Han Xiao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Didi ......"

At this moment, the communicator rang again, and this time it was a guy he knew, it was Gabra's boss, an ally of the Super A-class Empire with the Ainia Hub.

A few years ago, when a meeting was held to deal with the alien gods, Han Xiao met with this person and left a way to communicate, which was the first time that someone took the initiative to contact him.

The intention of this super A-level is also very clear, that is, to thank Han Xiao for helping to maintain the security of his territory, and inviting Han Xiao to be a guest at his place, the two sides exchanged a few polite words before hanging up the communication, what is the use of this call...... Don't ask, just ask.

……

In the office, Ludville put down the communicator, thought for a moment, and turned on the internal wiring.

"Contact me with Bellcrodi."

Baker Rodi, a powerful high-ranking official, was also a staunch supporter of the Shangjiao faction, but the two belonged to different political factions. Ludville was a neutral faction, while Baker Rodi was an important hardliner, and although both supported the Upper Sect on the issue of the Evolution Cube, they did not do the same.

As a centrist party, Ludville would at best offer his opinion to Führer Ullanriel to express his position, while Baker Rodi was inclined to take action.

Ludwell was in charge of the economic field, and the movements of the Infinite Consortium were also in his observation, and his experience told him that behind the plans of the Infinite Consortium there may be the support of certain factions in the Empire, and Bacroti was very suspicious.

As a half-insider, Ludwell had no intention of intervening before, because this move was also in line with his position, so although he was not the leader, he also turned a blind eye to it.

But now, since he owes Blackstar a favor, Ludwell has decided to intervene - the position of supporting the Shangjiao faction will not change, but the practice can be fine-tuned, and the exercise of power by officials in the system is often reflected in this kind of place, and the mystery can be seen in every inch.

The first step is to talk to Beckolodi first, ring the alarm bell, and let the other party restrain a little, so as to affect the other party's behind-the-scenes transactions with the Infinite Consortium.

Due to his identity, Baker Rodi may not be afraid of the Black Star, but the opinion of the leader of another imperial political faction, he has to pay attention!

……

The turmoil at the Ainia hub is over, the number of casualties is not small, and the property damage is also quite serious, which will have a certain impact on the business of the transfer station, and it will take some time to regain popularity.

Having received a large bounty, the Punisher Alliance was unwilling to stay long and planned to leave the place.

After this battle, Fordin and Aurora fully integrated into the group and boarded the ship together.

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

"You're still newcomers, I'll take you back to the headquarters first."

Raymond smiled a friendly smile that Aurora thought he was grimacing.

Hearing this, Ferding nodded slightly.

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

Alas, I was able to help with it, and I don't know if I can find it......
