Chapter 639: Pulling Chestnuts from the Fire

The Sea Race's signature drink—honestly, it tastes pretty good; at any rate, Li Hao can accept it.

"Thank you, it's thanks to you being here this time." Aoliweina looked curiously at the Human before her. She seemed to have underestimated this person's strength after all. The opponent's sacrifice might have failed, or it might have been suppressed by Li Hao using some unique method. If it were the latter, then Li Hao's abilities would need to be redefined.

"You're too kind, I'm a member of the team as well." Li Hao smiled, "However, the people this time should be targeting you all, so you still need to be a bit careful."

Li Hao smiled, "How did you know?"

It seems Xilian or Helena have loose lips. He hasn't even made a move yet; is this meant to make it known to everyone, or is it a deliberate attempt to stir the grass and startle the snake? It sounds a bit like Xilian's style.

Li Hao's goal should be to gain the support of the Ozil Royal Family, but this has a bit of a "pulling chestnuts from the fire" flavor to it.

Li Hao shrugged helplessly. The Sea woman before him was a sensible person; in this situation, there was no point in hiding things. "Since I've already promised, I'll just fight. Besides, Haosen picked the fight first, and I was looking for a chance to get even anyway."

In terms of the ranking of Sergeant Majors, Aoliweina's is no longer high, but she is an expert who has already opened a Star Ring; the Orcs are truly not worth looking at.

"Helena, send me two brothers; that should be enough." Li Hao thought about how he would be able to see Luo Bi and the Ant after returning, and his mood improved.

"There is one thing I really want to ask: who is behind the Lalutu Empire?" Li Hao suddenly asked.

Aoliweina was slightly stunned, looking at Li Hao, "Why do you ask that?"

This was analyzed by Kevin and the others, and he wanted to confirm it.

Li Hao understood; their guess was likely the same. Therefore, Kepler would very likely encounter war, and military armaments must be expanded, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Aoliweina glanced at Li Hao and did not answer directly, "Do you have any thoughts?"

Aoliweina still wore a smile, "I can't help with that."

"No need to help. The Sea Race is the best at trading in the Star Alliance. I wonder if you could open up some channels for warships to us?" Li Hao asked.

Just those few Ring-shaped Spaceships and some Celestial Armament are definitely not enough. This isn't just for Kepler, but also includes the Solar System. After Makemu Wufa finishes organizing the full-force framework, he will definitely improve the Solar System's defense capabilities at the first opportunity. Currently, it is effectively in a state of being wide open for the Orcs to plunder.

Compared to his current "working" situation, that definitely won't do. He still needs normal military-industrial trade. As long as there is an opportunity, he has to try. In fact, the Solar System has also been making efforts in this regard. Earlier, a funny thing even happened: they actually tried to buy equipment from Lalutu. You could guess what they would be able to buy with your butt.

Aoliweina naturally knew Li Hao's thoughts and intentions, but this was not something she could promise casually, "I can't guarantee anything, but I can strive for it."

"Thank you." Li Hao raised his glass, and Aoliweina also raised hers to clink it. Since the Orcs have already paid protection money to all three major Celestial forces, it would likely be very difficult to import weapons and equipment on a large scale. Therefore, among the remaining choices, the best choice is the Sea Race.

Gaia felt a bit resentful; it looked like he had already disappeared from Kuta's list of potential brothers-in-law, and his future of living off a woman was becoming increasingly difficult.

Li Hao and the others embarked on their return journey. On the side of the Judgment Anthem, Luo Bi and Cheng Konghai had already arrived. The two brothers were already hyped to the max. As the most senior old brothers among the Apocalypse Hunters, both knew one thing: with Li Hao present versus without Li Hao, they were two different worlds. Regardless of whether it was a Celestial, a ghost, or a person, they couldn't wait any longer.

Hermia and Helena were enjoying afternoon tea, "Li Hao and the others should be back soon; the C5 mission has already been completed."

"How are the two people he requested?" Hermia asked curiously.

"Don't mention it, I feel like I've been scammed. They talk big one after another, eyes darting around randomly. One feels a bit socially anxious, doesn't talk much, and is thin and small; I can't see any combat power in him." Helena shrugged helplessly, "If that brat Li Hao doesn't deliver, watch how I deal with him!"

Hermia smiled slightly, "It shouldn't be that bad, but Haosen is already on guard."

"Ah, what's the situation? Who leaked it?" Helena was slightly stunned. She certainly wouldn't have spread it; this matter definitely needed to be a surprise to be effective. Once Haosen was prepared, it would be tricky.

"I don't know, but it's certain that Haosen is prepared. He didn't take the initiative to attack; I'm afraid he's also holding back to kill the chicken to warn the monkey."

"We'll know when he gets back," Hermia looked at Helena, "If he wins, are you really going to give it?"

"Ah, I haven't really thought about that. If by any chance he wins, I'll give it if I have to, but I'll think of a way to do it without being too obvious." Helena still thought the possibility was extremely low in her heart. "By the way, Defatandisi asked you to watch the comet; are you ready?"

"Ready for what?" Hermia was slightly stunned.

Helena giggled, "It's a date. This guy is really quite handsome. He looks cold and icy, but he's actually very gentle and a gentleman. His strength is good, and his family background is good too. I feel like you can make a move. If you really think he's good, don't keep him hanging. I suspect Ning Long also has other thoughts about him."

"Ah?" Hermia showed a surprised little expression, making Helena on the side unable to resist pinching her soft face.

"With that little expression of yours, which man could resist?" Helena teased, "What's there to be surprised about? The Dragon Race isn't above the common world; they just put on an attitude of being transcendent and aloof. We need the Dragon Race, and why wouldn't the Dragon Race need us? Besides, he is also one of the candidates. With his help, the chances of success are a few points higher."

She longed for that kind of experience, free from constraints and truly free.

Polina's pregnancy—I originally wanted to write that she kept Li Hao's DNA during her experiments and it was artificially cultivated. Would that be too dark?
