Seeing Lawson reappear in his line of sight, Rad immediately went up to meet him.

Looking at his companion, whose left arm was flickering with electric sparks, he frowned and asked, "Are you sure you handled it cleanly?"

Rad asked this because, based on the performance of that [Man in the Mirror], there was a high probability that he would have meddled in the shadows.

If those fellows were allowed to survive, they would likely have to live like cowards for a long time to come.

"Mm."

Facing the old man's inquiry, Lawson nodded slightly to confirm.

During the fight just now, he had indeed sensed that Luonan had interfered, but they were just small tricks that hadn't caused him much trouble.

Seeing this, Rad couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then said with a tone of complaint, "You have to compensate me well this time. You actually destroyed such perfect material just like that."

"."

Ignoring the somewhat noisy voice in his ear, Lawson turned his head to look at Luonan in the distance: "Since the matter is over, I hope you can keep the secret."

He was naturally referring to matters related to the robbery. If that [Man in the Mirror] opposite couldn't keep his mouth shut, he would have no choice but to extinguish the spark of danger right here.

However, the other party was different from those little fellows just now; wanting to achieve that would likely require paying a significant price, so for Lawson, this was undoubtedly the worst choice.

It wasn't even certain if he could truly leave the other party behind.

Hearing this, Luonan withdrew his thoughts, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Rest assured, I won't go around talking nonsense. If you're worried, we can sign a contract."

Immediately following a crisp snapping sound, a contract burning with blood-red flames appeared out of thin air in front of Lawson.

Lawson did not choose to refuse Luonan's proposal, but instead handed the contract to Lavilin.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals; he didn't feel he could see through the traps set by a Great Demon in a contract.

A moment later, the Succubus handed the contract back, whispering, "No problem."

Lawson took the contract and signed his name on it without even looking.

Seeing this, Luonan waved his hand and said, "Then I'll be going first. You all do as you please."

After speaking, before the few could react, the magnificent mirror in the center of the battlefield sank into the vortex and disappeared without a trace.

After a brief silence, Lawson withdrew his gaze and said in a voice devoid of emotion, "Next, it's time to clean up the battlefield."

Although as a Mechanical-class professional, he had set up signal shielding before the battle began, this star system had been mostly destroyed in the exchange between Rad and that little fellow.

Fortunately, [Giant God Heavy Industries] often undertook planet transformation missions, and he only needed to spend some time to restore it to its original state.

Thinking of this, Lawson turned his head to look at Lavilin: "Leave the gamblers in the grand casino to you to handle. Make sure to minimize the impact."

"I know."

Hearing this, Lavilin nodded.

For the sake of her own life, she would do so even if the other party hadn't said anything.

Just then, Rad asked out of the blue, "It's fine with you at [Giant God Heavy Industries], but what about [Aeon Logistics]?"

"I don't think they will remain indifferent to the disappearance of that little thing just now."

Judging others by oneself, even in a place like [Immortal Evolution] where lunatics gathered, if a newcomer with extremely exaggerated talent suddenly fell one day, it would absolutely attract the attention of the higher-ups.

Although they wouldn't necessarily take action to seek revenge, they would at least ask for the ins and outs of the matter.

And if it were [Aeon Logistics]...

Hearing the old man's question, Lawson couldn't help but frown slightly.

This was indeed a problem that couldn't be ignored; they had to think of a reasonable excuse to hide the truth.

The scene fell silent for a time, and the three were all pondering how to avoid the trouble brought by [Aeon Logistics].

A moment later, as if thinking of something, Lavilin revealed a dangerous smile at the corner of her mouth and whispered, "I have a way."

"You should still remember what identity those little things used to enter the grand casino at the very beginning, right?"

Hearing her words, Rad was a bit confused for a moment.

However, Lawson on the side seemed to understand the Succubus's meaning and secretly glanced at the Gluttonous Demon in the distance.

Fortunately, Lavilin didn't keep them in suspense and quickly explained her plan: "They initially accepted the commission from that [Man in the Mirror] to help Bolugasi deal with that debt collector, but later, in order to obtain information, they chose to help that debt collector, so we can completely push everything onto that idiot."

"Hehe... In order to prevent sensitive information from being discovered about themselves, the suspect chose to kill them, and those little fellows were also caught in the crossfire."

"Very reasonable, isn't it?"

After hearing her explanation, Lawson and Rad first looked at each other, then moved in a flash to surround the Gluttonous Demon in the distance.

At this moment, seeing himself surrounded, Bolugasi was stunned for a moment, then said very nervously, "What do you want to do?"

"Lavilin! I am your slave! Aren't you going to say something?!"

Hearing this, Lavilin sneered and said, "Is that so? How come I don't know about it?"

"Just now..."

Bolugasi just wanted to say that the Succubus had only just recruited him not long ago, but he suddenly froze in place.

Although he hadn't refused, it seemed he hadn't agreed either.

Realizing this, the Gluttonous Demon couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva: "La... Lavilin, is it too late for me to agree now?"

"Hehe, you guess?"

As the voice fell, Lavilin took the lead in attacking.

Seeing this situation, a fierce look also appeared on Bolugasi's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! You forced me!"

Poor star system, it hadn't been calm for long before it was once again on the verge of destruction due to the battle between four sixth-level existences.

After a long time, Lavilin and the other two looked at the Gluttonous Demon not far away who was already on the verge of death, their faces showing a hint of fatigue.

After slightly calming their breathing, Lawson said, "Then I'll leave this guy to you, Rad. Try to forge the wounds; you should know what to do."

"Rest assured."

Rad wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied in a hoarse voice.

After receiving the reply, Lawson didn't say anything more, but prepared to head to other star systems to drag a few planets back to fill the void.

Just then, a huge planet with a volume far exceeding a normal planet was rapidly drifting toward the star system where the three were located.

Seeing this situation, Lawson immediately frowned tightly: "This is...? How is this possible?!"

"What's the situation?"

Seeing his companion's strange behavior, Rad and Lavilin couldn't help but ask.

However, facing the inquiry, Lawson fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, he pointed to the wandering planet in the distance and said, "That is my subordinate's secret weapon, but he just died."

Death Star Battleship.

The trump card that Old Wu had been hiding all along had finally arrived on the battlefield after the dust had settled.

As fellow Mechanical-class professionals, Lawson was the one among them who understood this trump card the best.

Logically speaking, after the holder died, this weapon should have immediately self-destructed; how could it appear in front of him like this?

Unless...

That subordinate of his wasn't dead.

No... a more accurate way to put it would be that that little fellow wasn't dead.

'How is that possible!?'

Lawson was very certain that he had indeed captured the scene of the other party's death; he wasn't so incompetent that he couldn't tell the difference between a real death and a fake one.

But the scene before him seemed to be telling him that his judgment was wrong.

Seeing his expression changing constantly, Lavilin and the other two's faces gradually became unpleasant.

It seemed that some unexpected situation had occurred.

Just as the two wanted to ask, heat steam suddenly overflowed from Lawson's body, and immediately after, he returned to his previous calm appearance: "That little fellow might not be dead."

"What!?" Hearing this, Rad and Lavilin immediately showed extremely astonished expressions, "But didn't you say..."

"I underestimated him." Lawson interrupted the two's words and admitted his mistake very frankly, "I didn't expect a fifth-level professional to possess this level of life-saving means."

In fact, even now, he still couldn't believe that Li Ang had truly survived.

Death, it was certain and beyond doubt.

'Resurrection-type means, huh...'

As this thought flashed through his mind, Lawson's eyes flickered slightly.

There were many types of resurrection means, and he didn't know which one the target possessed this time.

If it was just simply possessing two lives, it would be easy to talk about, but once it involved certain special concepts, it would become very tricky.

Seeing Lawson's performance, Lavilin and Rad found it difficult to continue blaming him, and could only ask with a hint of helplessness, "What now?"

"Continue to act according to the plan. The [Man in the Mirror] signed a contract and can't talk nonsense. If those little fellows aren't dead, they will show themselves sooner or later." Lawson pondered slightly, then continued, "During this period, I will try to perform reverse tracking through this Death Star Battleship, and I should be able to lock onto their location very soon."

As he spoke, he looked at Rad: "Didn't you just complain that I destroyed the most perfect material? Now you have a chance to obtain this material again."

"."

Rad knew that Lawson was just trying to shut him up, but he had to admit that he did feel a bit of secret joy in his heart.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Lavilin knew she couldn't object and could only fly toward the grand casino with a gloomy expression.

After some time, the "news of death" of Li Ang reached [Aeon Logistics].

Dragon Nest.

Seth looked at the intelligence in his hand, as if petrified, falling into a daze.

It wasn't until a long time later that he stiffly raised his head to look at the dragons on the high platforms around him: "...Are the Lords joking? This..."

He really wanted to ask if this intelligence was fake, but the words reached his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

Seth knew very well in his heart that those existences on the high platforms wouldn't joke with him about such things.

Realizing this, the old dragon could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart, and a pair of huge amber vertical pupils trembled violently: "Sophia... Li Ang..."

He never expected that the last time was a final farewell.

Clearly, before setting off, Sophia and Li Ang had asked if he needed them to bring back any local specialties.

Accompanied by a tidal wave of anger drowning his heart, Seth roared tremblingly: "I want that guy dead!"

He was referring to the Gluttonous Demon in the intelligence; according to the news from [Giant God Heavy Industries], that party was the culprit who caused all of this.

At this time, Randolph propped up his body to comfort him: "Hey, Seth, don't be too sad."

"Although you are already very old, if you work hard, you still have a chance to have another one."

Hearing these words, the other dragons present rolled their eyes one after another.

Is that how you comfort a dragon?

Fortunately, Seth knew what kind of personality this Brass Dragon had, so he didn't take his words to heart.

At this moment, the Gem Dragon pressed his head firmly against the ground and said in a hoarse voice: "I ask the Lords to look at my many years of hard work for the group and allow me to go to [Giant God Heavy Industries]!"

Facing his request, Randolph scratched his cheek: "But the murderer has already been killed on the spot; even if you go, you can only vent your anger on his corpse."

Hearing this, Seth didn't make any response, still maintaining that posture.

Seeing this situation, Randolph sighed helplessly.

Just as he wanted to say something, an extremely cold voice sounded beside him: "I agree."

It was Mazires.

The Red Dragon poked his head out from the high platform and stared coldly at the Gem Dragon below: "I will go with you."

"If [Underworld Gold Hall] doesn't give the group a reasonable explanation, I will let them know what fear is."
