Chapter 215: The Man Behind the Scenes

Xin Lone's figure flickered, and suddenly stopped.

As if remembering something, he turned around and returned to Faulkner's corpse with a bang, and with a flip of his palm, four explosives appeared in his hand, two metal hydrogen grenades and two plasma bombs, which were quickly set to pressure-sensitive detonation mode and stuffed under Faulkner's corpse.

"Four bombs, the power should be about the same."

If it weren't for the scruples that this was the inner wall of the space city, too many bombs exploding at the same time might damage the structure of the space city and threaten the lives of tens of millions of people in the city.

These movements fell for three or four seconds, and Gustav got closer and closer in the telepathy, Xin Lin no longer delayed, and hurriedly dodged away.

Less than ten seconds after Xin Silence left, a long, thin figure with cold light smashed through the metal wall and rushed into the passage.

Behind him, a large area of frost was left behind, and his body was shrouded in a cold air visible to the naked eye, the temperature of the entire passage dropped sharply to dozens of degrees below zero, and a layer of ice armor covered the whole body, the momentum was terrifying, and the sharp gaze seemed to be able to freeze the enemy, scanning back and forth in the passage.

This man is none other than Gustav, the ruler of the Great Tomb Space City.

Gustav's appearance is that of a middle-aged man, as a junior martial saint, the outside world speculates that he is at least three hundred years old, but there is no wrinkle on his face, and he does not show any old age.

He spotted Faulkner's body on the ground at a glance, and his face turned pale.

The light in the passage was dim, but it was bright and transparent in front of the Martial Saint's eyes, and Gustav's eyes could see infrared light, and he looked at the chaotic footprints on the ground, and quickly deduced the general process of the fight, and his eyes showed a bit of solemnity.

Faulkner's cultivation is very clear to him, he is only one step away from reaching the peak of a high-level general, but he is killed within half a minute, even if he makes his own move, he may not be able to do it.

"Zhuang Xiaolin has broken through to the Martial Saint realm?"

Gustav immediately thought of a possibility, but what he couldn't understand was why Zhuang Xiaolin wanted to kill Faulkner? His original plan was to trade as usual, and wait until he returned to Xin Lone, and then personally took back the 100 billion bounty, could it be that Zhuang Xiaolin had already learned of his plan to eat black in advance?

A few minutes later, just as he was pondering, a burst of footsteps came from the passage, and then dozens of guards wearing power armor poured out from all directions, led by two general-level masters.

"City Lord!"

A mid-ranking general reported: "No trace of the enemy has been found. When he saw Faulkner's body, he couldn't help but exclaim: "The big butler ......"

Gustav's face was gloomy, and Zhuang Xiaolin only gave ten minutes after sending the address, which caused him to have no time to arrange a tight encirclement, and finally let people run away.

"This time I really miscalculated, and I lost both people and money."

Gustav felt like he had been slapped in the face, his face was hot, his heart was already furious, but there was nowhere to vent. The cold air around him made the dozens of subordinates next to him silent, and they didn't even dare to come out, for fear of angering the always moody city lord.

"Blockade the port and wharf, everyone is only allowed to enter and not leave, and the whole city is searched for suspicious people." Gustav ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, City Lord."

The subordinates of the two generals should say yes in unison, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Gustav glanced at Faulkner's corpse and couldn't help but have a headache.

Faulkner is his butler on the surface, and at the same time a nail sent by the above to supervise himself, and now he is dead here, even if he reports it truthfully, I am afraid that he will be suspected of doing it himself, and it is impossible to explain it.

He waved his hand in annoyance: "Pack up the butler's body, freeze it and send it back to Earth." ”

With that, he shook his hand and left.

Barely two steps away, Gustav's hairs suddenly stood on end, and he was shocked by a pinprick-like stinging alarm, and he turned his head in horror to see an armored guard turning over Faulkner's body.

"Don't ......"

Gustav was interrupted after only one word was shouted, and a dazzling light erupted from under Faulkner's corpse, and the terrifying shock wave was mixed with a million-degree plasma plasma, Faulkner's corpse was vaporized in a microsecond, and the shockwave exploded indiscriminately, sweeping the entire passage!

The dozens of armored guards around, including the two closest generals, were completely unaware of the danger and were torn to shreds in an instant.

The shock wave and plasma spread outward like lightning, destroying everything from armor to human bodies, to the ground, to walls.

Among all the people present, only Gustav, the most powerful cultivator, felt the danger one step ahead, and he frantically urged the frozen force in his body, and in an instant, a three-meter-high ice block froze himself in place, but he was still half a step late.

The shock wave and plasma hit the ice that was not completely condensed, the high temperature eroded, the ice only lasted less than a second before it fell apart, and the remaining explosion power exploded directly on Gustav's body, and in the deafening roar, his whole person was blown up, smashed through several layers of passage walls, and fell down.

Gustav turned over and stood up slyly, looking at the huge hole in front of him with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, and everywhere there was a cross-flow of molten iron melted by high temperatures, like a lava hell, and the inner wall structure of the space city was almost pierced, reaching the interstellar space outside the wall.

All but him were vaporized in the moment of the explosion, and their bones were gone.

Gustav first had a palpitation, and then boundless anger surged into his heart, and suddenly his throat was sweet, and he couldn't help but vomit blood with a pop.

The explosion was too close, less than ten meters away, and although he was lucky not to be killed, he also suffered a lot of internal injuries and needed a period of recuperation to recover.

"Ah...... Zhuang Xiaolin, you are dead! You're dead! ”

Gustav suppressed his injuries and shouted with gritted teeth, but he didn't know that his every move was secretly investigated by the initiator, and the real Zhuang Xiaolin had already died.

In a dark no-man's corner more than 3,000 meters away, Xin Lin integrated telepathy into a beam to spy on Gustav, and saw that he was not lightly injured, and almost couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart, and came back to kill Gustav directly.

The Martial Saint in peak condition, he didn't dare to take it lightly, but the injured Martial Saint was not so terrible, and the opportunity was rare.

After thinking about it carefully, Xin Lin shook his head and said secretly: "Forget it, let's check Faulkner's memory first and find out the truth." Gustav's injuries will not heal for a while, and it will not be too late to settle accounts with him in a few days. ”

Xin Lin looked at the surrounding environment, and it was safe, so he entered his own brain domain, his mind was focused, and the singularity star core immediately appeared in his mind.

Memories flashed in his eyes, these were Faulkner's experiences.

Faulkner is over two hundred years old and has a long life, but Xin Lin has no interest in seeing Faulkner's full life, he just needs to know what happened a year ago.

"Hoo ......"

After more than an hour, Xin Lian breathed a sigh of relief, he had learned the ins and outs of the 100 billion reward, but he was not happy at all, and his expression was a little heavy.

In the past, Xiahou Zheng and the Lu family speculated that the reason why Xin Lin was rewarded was most likely because he was implicated by these two forces, but now he knew that these speculations were wrong.

The 100 billion reward has nothing to do with the Lu family or Xiahou Zheng, the cause of the matter is not so complicated, it is actually very simple.

A certain big man in the Federation wanted the subspace equipment of the Qingkong Sapling, and the other party happened to see Xin Lonely unpleasantly, so he just threw an extra billion to buy his life.

Xin Lin shook his head speechlessly, he had guessed this possibility, but he didn't expect to be unfortunate by himself.

This big man is called Luo Yanfeng, and he is a famous person in the Federation, and he has been famous all over the world long before Xin Lin was born.

Luo Yanfeng was born in the Luo consortium, a huge consortium with hundreds of millions of huge wealth, business scope spanning dozens of industries, and economic strength enough to rank among the top five of the federation and stand at the top of the federal pyramid.

The founder of the Roche Consortium is called Luo Yang, an eighth-level warlock who is still active in the upper echelons of the Federation, and is over five hundred years old. Luo Yang was born as an ordinary citizen, made a net worth of hundreds of millions from scratch, and is now not only the eighth on the federal rich list, but also the twenty-seventh on the federal superman list in terms of personal strength.

But the most talked-about thing is Luo Yang's style of life, this person is romantic, unmarried all his life, but has countless illegitimate children, and there are hundreds of children who are recognized and cultivated by him alone.

Luo Yang attaches great importance to the genetic bloodline of his descendants, and the more than 100 children who are recognized by him are all because they have good cultivation talents, as for more illegitimate children with mediocre talents or low qualifications, they will not get a penny, and they will never want to enter the Luo family.

As long as it is a child recognized by Luo Yang, he will be very generous, and he will give the best cultivation conditions and resources at any monetary cost.

If it weren't for cultivating so many children to cultivate, Luo Yang's wealth would be even greater, and he might even squeeze into the top three of the federal rich list!

Luo Yang's years of dedication have achieved remarkable results, and his own genes are extraordinary, most of the more than 100 children have become talents, and there are more than ten who have cultivated to the realm of military generals, and there is also a warlock, among which the highest achievement is his 35th son Luo Wei, who became the first martial saint of the Luo family!

Soon after becoming a martial saint, Luo Wei married the pearl of the palm of the "Guangfeng Martial Saint" Somantha Brin, and gave birth to an only son a few years later, that is, Luo Yanfeng.

The reputation of the Warrior Saint is even greater than that of Royan, although she is a woman, her power ranking in the Federation is much higher than that of Royan, ranking third in the Federation, and she holds a key position, serving as the Minister of Justice of the Federation for a long time.

In the judicial world of the Earth Federation, the Bryn family of the Glorious Wind Martial Saint has a decisive influence and high status, and is even called the Queen of Justice.

Lowe's marriage to Carolyn Brin was an unintentional political marriage, a powerful combination.

Luo Yanfeng combined the genetic advantages of the two families, and showed a super cultivation talent since he was a child, he sensed vacuum energy at the age of twelve, cultivated to an intermediate warrior in three years, became a senior samurai at the age of twenty-five, and was promoted to a military general at the age of forty.

Now Luo Yanfeng is only in his early seventies, he is already a senior general, and he has already been on the list of federal generals, ranking thirty-eighth, his ranking is rising every year, and he may even be in the top three of the list of generals in the future!

As the grandson of the Luo family's most promising second martial saint, Luo Yanfeng was naturally favored by Luo Yang, responding to requests and providing all the best cultivation resources, the vacuum crystals consumed every year alone were worth tens of billions, and other resources were countless.

In this era of the Federation, there are still a few super geniuses with similar talents to Luo Yanfeng, and he is not the most prominent, in fact, he can only be regarded as one of the world's heavenly pride.

However, Luo Yanfeng was the fastest cultivator among the several Tianjiao, and he was also the most famous.

It is precisely because he was born in a consortium family, and he is handsome and extraordinary, has a chic temperament, has all the conditions that men in the world want, and is also the dream lover of countless unmarried women in the Federation, the number one diamond king in the Federation!

Luo Yanfeng is ranked ninth in the third generation of the Luo family, so people who are familiar with him call him the ninth young master.

However, Luo Yanfeng prefers others to call himself Luo Dashao, because he has always fought for the first place in everything, and thinks that he is the first day of the Federation, and he also wants to prove it to the world, but unfortunately this title is not recognized, and the vast majority of people do not admit the existence of the so-called first day of the Federation, and the controversy is very great, until the appearance of Xin Lone.

Xin Lin became famous in the Qingling Clan, and was immediately called the first day of the Federation, and there was almost no controversy, which made Luo Yanfeng quite unconvinced and very angry.

Later, Luo Yanfeng fell in love with the Qingkong sapling again, and was very greedy.

As a super-rich young man of the two top families in the Federation, he has no funds, but he has not had the opportunity to obtain subspace equipment so far, so he sent someone to secretly investigate, and learned that Xin Lin may have something to do with the Lu family or Xiahou Zheng, so he had to act cautiously.

After a year of brewing, Luo Yanfeng finally decided to attack Xin Lian.

He used the hidden forces of his family, that is, the people of Juling Space City and Gustav, which were actually illegal forces secretly controlled by the Luo Consortium, and were specially used to deal with some shady things.

There were eight or nine martial saints supported by the Luo Consortium, and Gustav was one of them.

With the secret support of Luo Yang, Gustav entered the Juling Space City and became the ruler here, and now he can bring hundreds of billions of huge profits to the Luo Consortium every year, and many things that cannot be done on the surface can be easily done in the extralegal place of Space City.

Such as smuggling, such as the black market, such as offering a bounty for assassinating the first day of the Federation.

In the darkness, Xin Lone's face changed.

The power of this mastermind behind the scenes is far stronger than he expected, and at present, he may not be able to completely take revenge in the short term, and he must think long-term.

But he can't stop there, at least he has to collect some interest first, then start with the control of this space city!

Juling Space City is very important in the Luo Consortium, Gustav is one of Luo Yang's right-hand men, deeply relied on, the control of this foreign law is even more indispensable for the Luo family, once the control is lost, many illegal trade can not be carried out, and it is a very heavy blow to the entire Luo Consortium.
