Chapter 443: of

To be honest, he had already had some doubts when fighting Brando, since the other's opening style was clearly mechanical, and even if they wanted to switch directions later, they shouldn't have jumped across major categories from mechanical to biological.

It was like him cultivating immortality, and when unable to break through, deciding to substitute with magic.

'【Undying Evolution】.'

Li Ang has already heard this name of a cosmic mega-corporation many times, and every time it appeared it was accompanied by descriptions like 'madmen.'

Honestly, the impression the other party gave him was not very good.

Seeing Li Ang stay silent for so long, Ma Ding thought he had been scared and couldn't help but offer comfort: "Don't worry, with the Group Army there, that Zerg Overlord can't get through."

"It's just that the madmen of 【Undying Evolution】 are a bit tricky. You just need to be careful in daily life, don't let them sneak into the planets under your jurisdiction."

Unintentionally, this androgynous quartermaster revealed a piece of information.

That was, 【Undying Evolution】 seemed to be preparing to do something, and had even already infiltrated within the Obsidian Star Domain.

Li Ang naturally realized this point, but he did not ask aloud.

First, the Baal Galaxy Cluster where Morabis Star was located was not the closest galaxy cluster to the border; even if 【Undying Evolution】's people had infiltrated the Obsidian Star Domain, the Gailubu Society would not appear here.

Second, with the blessing of 【Da Luo Dong Guan】, there was nothing on Morabis Star that could escape Li Ang's line of sight.

Unless the other party had learned of 【Da Luo Dong Guan】's existence in advance, and happened to be a high-energy-level professional skilled in the way of concealment, only then might they be able to deceive everyone.

'But what exactly do they want to do.'

Li Ang has already been in this world for some years now, and during that time, apart from the Empire, he had never seen a second force that dared to oppose the Federation.

And among the five cosmic mega-corporations, setting aside 【Giant God's gravity】 which he had never come into contact with, whether it was 【Taiyi Miracle】, 【Aio Logistics】, or 【Void Realm Communications】, they were basically all in a neutral state; only 【Undying Evolution】 seemed to be stirring up trouble everywhere.

After Xiangleyi Society without figuring anything out, Li Ang stopped dwelling on the matter.

Let those biochemical lunatics of 【Undying Evolution】 do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect him.

After a brief chat, Ma Ding stood up and walked toward the conference room exit, saying as he went: "I'll go notify my superiors first. You prepare the relevant materials, and when we find the time we'll discuss in detail."

Hearing his words, Li Ang was not surprised. After all, a Group Army that large couldn't possibly be manipulated by a mere fourth-energy-level professional.

But since the other party had already said so, it was clear the arrangements were already made; afterward, the Plant Union just needed to produce a supply plan that met the Group Army's requirements.

Thinking of this, Li Ang immediately ordered several Heroes' Spirits who were good at negotiation to bring the prepared materials and rush to the laboratory.

The negotiation process went very smoothly; the Plant Union successfully obtained a ten-point beverage supply share from the 9000 Group Army.

Don't think ten points is small. You have to know the 9000 Group Army is a behemoth spanning the entire Obsidian Star Domain; ten points already counts as a windfall for the Plant Union.

Of course, the Plant Union being able to land this big order was also inseparable from Ma Ding's help.

After watching the entire negotiation, Li Ang discovered that this androgynous quartermaster was not alone, but came from a certain family within the Obsidian Star Domain.

Unfortunately, this family's influence within the Group Army was not strong; Ma Ding was more like a discarded fringe figure.

This also explained why he had dared to use the Group Army's official channel for extortion back then, yet after the matter was exposed he had knelt down at the speed of light, and now was willing to cooperate with Li Ang.

Two days later, Morabis Star Star Port.

Ma Ding stood before a mountain of local specialties, giving one last reminder to the dragon before him: "The first delivery is in half a year. The Group Army will send someone to receive the goods then, don't forget."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone keep an eye on it."

Facing his reminder, Li Ang waved his hand slightly, indicating he would pay attention.

With Morabis Star's current production capacity, supplying a ten-point share was more than enough.

The only possible problem, the yield of the Clear-Chill Fruit, was also resolved after Li Ang changed jobs to 【Star Shepherd】.

After all, he could casually modify exotic plants like the Divine Tree, so plants like the Clear-Chill Tree were naturally a breeze.

Hearing this, Ma Ding's mood did not relax, because for him, cooperating with Li Ang already counted as a massive gamble.

Therefore, after careful deliberation, he still couldn't help but say: "The Secret Blood Company should already know about losing the ten-point share. You'd best make some preparations."

"Although they've recently been at loggerheads with another company, the executive stationed in this galaxy cluster will most likely still come to investigate."

"If you can avoid conflict, it's best to avoid conflict."

Having a shared interest now, Ma Ding naturally didn't want anything to happen to Li Ang midway.

Fortunately, over the past few days he had already met Sophia and Iris, and had gained a new understanding of the relationship between this dragon and 【Aio Logistics】.

And what he could see, the Secret Blood Company's executive could most likely see as well; therefore, these vampires would most likely only use methods permitted by the rules to force the Plant Union to give up the share.

Thinking of this, Ma Ding said no more, just turned around, picked up the local specialties, and walked into the starship.

Li Ang didn't know he had already been seen as a pretty boy living off a woman; he just silently watched this androgynous quartermaster pilot the starship away from Morabis Star.

After watching the starship disappear from view, he raised his wrist and tapped a certain contact in his communication device.

【Christine】.

This vampire, who had been made into a 【Quasi-Servant】, hadn't sent any news for several days now. The last time she replied was when Li Ang reminded her that the Plant Union had obtained a ten-point share, and told her to stay hidden.

As the person in charge of Morabis Star and several nearby star systems for the Secret Blood Company, Christine clearly couldn't escape involvement.

As long as that executive wasn't a fool, the Dagailu Society would be the first to find her.

Fortunately, through a vague sense of perception, Li Ang could confirm Christine was still alive.

Although sometimes being alive might be more painful than being dead.

However, with the contingency he had prepared in advance, once someone tried to analyze the secret of the 【Quasi-Servant】, they would receive a very big surprise.

Thinking of the scene that might appear then, Li Ang couldn't help the corners of his mouth from curling up for a moment.

……

Under the pitch-black night, countless skyscrapers stood on the earth like tombstones.

Christine hid in a safe house prepared in advance, her face full of hopelessness.

This once-flamboyant vampire now looked utterly wretched, dressed like a beggar.

Recalling the message she had suddenly received a few days ago, she was instantly on the verge of tears: "If only Master had said so earlier, I could have run in advance."

"Now that guy Kaerus has come knocking, I can't run even if I want to."

If you ask if she felt resentful, of course there was a little.

But she didn't dare harbor resentment—Christine was always extremely cautious in this regard, knowing full well whether her own master could sense her thoughts.

After sighing and lamenting for a while, the vampire began to think about how to escape from this planet.

As a former executive of the Secret Blood Company, she naturally knew just how terrifying her former superior's strength truly was.

That was a Fifth Energy Level! Even if she were split into ten, she still wouldn't be enough for the other party to fight.

Fortunately, she had prepared a hiding place in advance, and combined with her mastery of concealment arts, this barely allowed her to evade the other's search.

But waiting like this indefinitely was no solution either—the other party would eventually discover something amiss.

After all, for a Fifth Energy Level, an ordinary planet was already no different from a glass marble.

Just as Christine was racking her brains over what to do next, a voice devoid of discernible emotion suddenly rang out behind her.

"Christine, after all these years I never realized your courage was actually that great."

The sudden voice made the blonde vampire shudder. A smile uglier than crying appeared on her face as she stiffly turned around: "Lord Kaius."

Looking at the cold-faced, black-haired middle-aged man before her, Christine's hopes were utterly shattered.

At this moment, facing his defecting subordinate, the black-haired middle-aged man named 'Kaius' couldn't help but let out a scoff, then said with a serious expression: "Take me to meet that lord who helped you break free from the blood contract."

"No, I've already died—"

Thinking herself doomed beyond doubt, Christine couldn't help but babble incoherently. But the moment she realized what the black-haired man meant, an utterly bewildered expression involuntarily appeared on her face.

". Eh?"
