Chapter 769: Do You Think You're a Good Person!?

"Blood Demon Mercenary Corps, this name is really simple and crude..."

Li Yu flipped through the information, which recorded everything Tu Ying and Keller had done in interstellar space.

They had explored Civilization Ruins, fought against Gray Organizations, and rescued Illegal Slaves... they had lived quite wonderfully.

He happened to be idle recently anyway. After receiving Sinai's report and hearing that these two little guys might be in trouble, he came over to take a look.

"What happened this time? Messed Up while cruising?" Li Yu asked casually.

"It's all the Star Glory Empire's fault." Keller looked somewhat angry: "We were using the Karsar Civilization's shipping lanes. They don't get along with the Hassfu Legion, so it's completely impossible for them to have leaked our traces."

"It must be the Star Glory Empire playing tricks behind the scenes for our flight trajectory to be leaked."

"If it weren't for the Star Glory Empire, given some more time, it would have been enough for us to play this Hassfu Legion to death."

Since they didn't get along with the Hassfu Legion, they naturally prepared in various aspects and wouldn't be foolishly unscrupulous.

Tu Ying also nodded in agreement. Their mentality at this moment was somewhat peculiar.

It was like running into a problem they couldn't solve and having to call an adult, causing feelings of embarrassment and shame to surge in their hearts.

They always had to find various excuses for themselves to explain that this matter wasn't their fault.

However, the truth was indeed so. Having been influenced by Li Yu since childhood, their style of doing things, while not meticulous, was still quite cautious.

Their subordinates had also undergone strict training and there was a complete screening mechanism, so basically no Internal Traitors would appear.

Without the Star Glory Empire's Dimensionality Reduction Strike, it would have been very difficult for the Hassfu Legion to find their traces.

"Star Glory Empire?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised: "Why would they be here?"

Immediately after, he ordered: "Find the people from the Star Glory Empire."

However, he looked at the floating spaceship parts before him, then looked at the Heaven-Shaking Sovereign not far away. This entrance was handsome indeed, but what if he accidentally killed the people from the Star Glory Empire too? How awkward would that be.

Fortunately, such a thing didn't happen.

Captain Otto was quickly brought over. He looked somewhat panic-stricken and hadn't even fully reacted yet.

"May I ask, how should I address you?" Li Yu looked at him and inquired.

"Dra... Dra... Dragon Sovereign..." His voice trembled.

Li Yu's eyes were weird as he said: "Your name is also Dragon Sovereign?"

"No... no, it's not..." Captain Otto's body shuddered. He hurriedly shook his head and said: "Lord Dragon Sovereign, you can call me Otto."

"Otto..." Li Yu nodded and said: "Then, can you tell me what is going on here?"

Otto was stunned for a moment, then as if waking from a dream, pointed at the several A-Tier Lifeforms who had already been taken into custody and said: "It's them!"

"They intentionally borrowed the Empire's name, wanting to get rid of the Blood Demon Mercenary Corps."

"I am not very familiar with this place, and didn't investigate the information in this regard in detail, which is why I almost let them succeed."

"When they made their move, I already sternly scolded and stopped them, but they still acted without any scruples."

"So that's how it is..." Li Yu's expression didn't change at all. He didn't care about the cause and process of the matter, and continued to ask: "Then, why are you here?"

"Me?" Otto seemed somewhat hesitant. His mission was classified, and reasonably speaking, he shouldn't tell anyone.

But Dragon Sovereign was a special consultant of the Star Glory Empire. Reasonably speaking, he could also be considered High Echelon.

Thinking of this point, he said: "I am here tracking down clues regarding The Forerunners."

"They stole a large batch of Source Crystal Ore not long ago. But the other party seemed to have discovered our pursuit and transferred the goods, which was escorted precisely by the Blood Demon Mercenary Corps."

"The Forerunners?" Li Yu was even more surprised. It seemed The Forerunners' activities recently were indeed very frequent; he could even run into them here.

"Source Crystal Ore?" Hearing this, Keller pondered and said: "A few days ago, we did indeed receive a commission from the Kansia Chamber of Commerce to escort a batch of Cargo to a certain remote coordinate."

"The price of Source Crystal Ore is high, and the escort fee was also extremely high, so we took this order."

"So it was actually stolen? We checked briefly but didn't find any related information."

"That thing is an important raw material for Ultra-High Energy Compressed Energy Crystals, a necessary material for many large-scale equipment." Li Yu rubbed his chin, a hint of thought flashing through his eyes.

The Forerunners were recently collecting various materials on a massive scale, even ignoring hiding the traces of their operations. Purchasing at high prices, stealing, snatching—various methods emerged endlessly.

At first, the Star Glory Empire suspected this was the other party's strategy to Lure the Tiger Out of its Den, but after a period of time, they were now also muttering about what The Forerunners were actually doing.

However, what the enemy wanted to do was what they wanted to stop.

Even without knowing the reason, the Star Glory Empire was sparing no effort to stop The Forerunners across the entire interstellar space.

There were successes, and naturally there were also failures.

"I originally wanted to Proceed Gradually, but The Forerunners seem to be planning something..." Li Yu pondered.

"The Third Forerunner has also been let out for a while. Combined with the characteristics of the [Black Widow], it shouldn't arouse the other party's suspicion."

"Might as well take advantage of this incident..."

His eyes flickered, seemingly having already decided on certain things.

He let the Third Forerunner out naturally not to fish with a straight hook like the Star Glory Empire thought.

But rather to release a piece of news to The Forerunners: the Third Forerunner had already escaped.

Then, he prepared to use the characteristics of the [Black Widow] to directly transform into the Third Forerunner.

Although the [Black Widow]'s ability was very strong, and when infiltrating using an appearance not his own, he would almost never be suspected.

But if two Third Forerunners appeared before their eyes, or if the Third Forerunner was clearly locked up yet another one appeared in the organization.

Under the Disruption of such strong external factors, the [Black Widow] would be useless too.

Only figures at the level of the Third Forerunner had the qualifications to enter The Forerunners' Headquarters.

Although he already had an idea for the next step, he still needed to handle the matters before him first.

At the very least, what happened here couldn't be leaked out.

The several A-Tier Lifeforms of the Hassfu Legion were grabbed over, their faces ashen.

Some A-Tier Lifeforms had Ambitions for the Stars and the Vast Sea, and A-Tier was merely a starting point for them.

While some A-Tier Lifeforms, due to the influence of mentality, resources, and environmental factors, coveted enjoyment.

To them, A-Tier was already the endpoint, spending their entire lives tossing about in their own Sphere of Responsibility.

And this group of people was a typical representative.

It had been at least over a hundred years since the days they became A-Tier Lifeforms.

Their original Lofty Ambitions and Great Aspirations had already been smoothed out. They would rather eke out an existence than die.

"Your Excellency President, this is a misunderstanding..." Their Leader could barely maintain his calm, at least on the surface.

He addressed Li Yu as President, attempting to pull some connections.

"We didn't know these two were related to you, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have made a move," he explained.

"I understand, I understand..." Li Yu pacified: "I just heard Keller say that you guys also traffic underage slaves?"

"Even the several relatively famous large slave traders in interstellar space don't quite dare to touch this level. Your guts are quite big."

That was because their volume was large and there were too many people staring at them, so naturally they didn't dare.

Otherwise, if they were already trafficking Illegal Slaves, how much conscience could they still have?

He criticized inwardly, but hurriedly explained: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. We are just a middleman."

"There are absolutely many people doing this kind of thing in interstellar space. You should understand, it simply can't be put to an end."

"Many civilizations have jointly conducted purges, yet the result is still the same."

"I understand..." Li Yu nodded and sighed: "Where there is demand, there will be a market."

"I also don't have a way to completely put an end to this kind of thing."

The Hassfu Legion Leader breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. He wouldn't believe Li Yu would be a compassionate saint.

What Advanced Lifeforms cared more about was benefits. In their long lifespans, they had seen too many tragic things.

They clearly knew even better that no matter how formidable one's Strength was, it couldn't solve some troubles.

That was due to issues with the social system and the birth of races.

He believed that compared to their secret gray trade, Dragon Sovereign cared more about what kind of benefits they could provide, namely, the money to buy their lives.

"Your Excellency President, we are willing to offer 70% of the Hassfu Legion's shares. From now on, whenever you have any orders, we will definitely go all out," he gritted his teeth and said.

This was already a very high price. Killing them, the Hassfu Legion would instantly fall apart and he wouldn't gain any benefits.

"I haven't finished speaking..." Li Yu stared at him: "Although I can't eradicate this kind of problem, getting rid of you guys is very simple."

"Leave no one from the Hassfu Legion alive." Li Yu issued a cold command.

The expressions of the several A-Tier Lifeforms changed drastically, and their Leader was even more stunned in place. He didn't expect Dragon Sovereign would actually kill them.

He didn't even have the slightest intention of taking over their basic foundation.

"What a Dragon Sovereign. What... do you actually think you're a good person!?"

Knowing that the situation was irretrievable, he simply yelled furiously: "Do you know how many small civilizations were annihilated in the interstellar shockwaves because you killed the Imperial Heir last time?"

"And how many people were indirectly killed!?"

"Now you want to kill me over the matter of slave trafficking, do you think this can make up for it!?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Li Yu shook his head, very frank: "This way, it won't trouble me."

"I also don't want to make up for anything. It's purely that looking at you pisses me off."

"You..." The Hassfu Legion Leader was stunned in place, unexpectedly not knowing how to refute for a moment.

Soon, this place was filled with the radiant flames of explosions, and the several A-Tier Lifeforms were also executed by Heaven-Shaking Sovereign.

Everyone looked at Li Yu's back. The remaining light and shadows of the explosions illuminated him with a somewhat solitary and desolate feeling.

Li Yu didn't speak for a long time. The few Looked at Each Other in Dismay, thinking that that guy's words had truly affected Li Yu.

Although Li Yu spoke easily, no one knew what he was thinking inside.

They were all people relatively close to Li Yu and knew this Dragon Sovereign was not truly cold and ruthless.

On the contrary, compared to other Advanced Lifeforms of the same tier, hanging the title of a good person on him wasn't an exaggeration at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Sinai slowly flew forward and said gently: "My Lord, do not pay attention to what that person just said. You have also brought many positive impacts to the interstellar space."

"For example, exterminating Terror Lifeforms, allowing many civilizations to benefit from it."

"Huh?" Li Yu turned his head in some confusion, looking at Sinai: "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"Why should I care about that guy's words? Rather than thinking about such boring things, it's better to think about the next operation."

Sinai was taken aback, then pursed her lips into a smile: "Indeed, it is boring talk."

Li Yu had just preliminarily drafted the plan for the next operation.

"Is the Cargo still on your warship?" Li Yu asked Keller and Tu Ying.

Keller looked somewhat uncertainly at the remaining warships of the Blood Demon Mercenary Corps and said: "It's still there. The transport ship is located in the center of the warships and wasn't destroyed in the battle just now."

"Then that's fine. Continue following your flight trajectory and rendezvous at the coordinate location."

"Eh?" Keller was somewhat confused and said: "Didn't you say that once our Identity was exposed, we couldn't go cruising outside anymore?"

"The people present have all been killed. Who knows your Identity has been exposed?" Li Yu asked in return.

Keller thought about it carefully; it seemed to really make sense.

"In addition, in a few days I will arrange a fake Identity for you guys to join the A-Tier Alliance and increase your Evolution speed." Li Yu added.

Keller immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

As for the people from the Star Glory Empire, naturally they would be locked up first.

His little black room had already locked up quite a few people.

Most of them were those who knew secrets but weren't suitable to be killed directly.

Like Otto, who hadn't made any major mistakes and had a very sincere attitude in admitting his faults. When the Hassfu Legion made their move earlier, he had even tried to stop them.

Just giving an order to kill him like this, how bad would that be? Better to just lock him up.

This way Li Yu could tell himself that he didn't kill them anyway.

"The Energy Fluctuations here should soon alert a few relatively powerful civilizations nearby. Clean up quickly and let's leave,"

Li Yu ordered. The many Transformers quickly began to clean up the battlefield. The ruined warship parts were recovered to be used as raw materials; this set of procedures was already extremely well-practiced.

Soon, this place returned to being a Withered Starry Sky again. Except for the extremely unstable energy readings and the slightly twisted Void, nothing showed that a battle had once taken place here.
