Chapter 104: Rumor Buster
"Acting?"
Pommonic raised his head with some confusion and looked at Yang Wuji.
"That's right," Yang Wuji explained to them, "I'll tell you directly, I can probably guess who your employer is this time, now I just need you to contact him, and then put his words out, so that I have his handle, and what to do after that is my own business." ”
Pomminik and Ryulu glanced at each other, and a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces:
"Your Excellency Black Dragon, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, it's just that there is no direct contact between us and our employers, it's all through ...... The informant is in contact with the other party. ”
Yang Wuji waved his hand: "That's fine, if you only have an informant, contact the informant, I have a way to solve it myself." ”
Thinking about the ending of Dick, who is not afraid of death, Pominik and they can only agree.
After that, things are very simple, Pominik directly talks to the informant, tells the other party that "the mission is complete", and asks the other party to call the final payment.
Yang Wuji, on the other hand, followed their correspondence, traced all the way to the informant's location, monitored the informant, watched the informant connect with one of Akira's subordinates, and finally overheard the conversation between Akira and his subordinates.
After mastering these evidences, Yang Wuji did not plan to hold the "Lion Eagle Mercenary Group" accountable.
According to what he learned from Pominik and Ryulu, although this interstellar mercenary group occasionally does bad things such as kidnapping and killing, its basic business is still those traditional businesses such as fighting pirates, searching and rescuing people, and helping in wars.
And in order to avoid taxes, they also deliberately concentrated the strength of the whole group to build such a "paradise" in the deep space of the universe.
On this giant spaceship, in addition to Pominik and the members of these mercenary groups, there are more family members, wives and daughters of the mercenary group, and even people who have nothing to do with each other at all, but just come to live and live here.
So he just knocked out the mercenary group and made Pominik pay him more than 10 million credits for the "mental loss fee", and let them go.
Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to beat them, Yang Wuji warned Pominik that if he found out that the Lion Eagle Mercenary Group had kidnapped and killed people in the future, he would report the information and location of the Mercenary Group's headquarters directly to the Empire.
If Yang Wuji really did this, he didn't need to do it at all, and the empire would directly dismantle this tax evasion mercenary group.
Leading figures like Pominik and Ryulu will be thrown directly into prison and eat prison for the rest of their lives.
After receiving repeated assurances from Pominik, Yang Wuji took back his clone and took back the transport spaceship that had been repaired by the mercenary group.
While letting the doppelganger continue to drive the transport ship and complete the delivery order, he uses his consciousness to find the mastermind behind this kidnapping, Akira Beckman.
However, the situation on Akira's side was not what Yang Wuji expected, and the other party was obviously much smarter than he imagined.
Originally, according to Yang Wuji's plan, as long as he had the evidence of the other party's mercenaries kidnapping and killing, he would only need to threaten the other party, deceive the other party, and then treat him in his own way.
As a result, I didn't expect that after this Akira Beckman was threatened, he would directly seek help from the family, completely ignoring that his bad deeds would be discovered by others.
This approach has proven to be the wisest thing to do.
If Akira foolishly took the bait and was tricked into the deep space of the universe by Yang Wuji, the final outcome would be stuffed into the rescue capsule and thrown into a corner of the universe that no one knew.
This time, in order to show his strength and completely cut off future troubles, Yang Wuji allowed the Aqila faction to bait and ambush.
After Akira's bait flew and the ambushed fleet arrived at the designated domain, Yang Wuji shot directly.
The Shadow Phoenix turned into shadows, constantly firing Yang Wuji's deadly "bullet" at the fleet sent to him by the Akira family, and no matter what warships hit, these warships would be extinguished in a very short time and be under Yang Wuji's control.
As for the people in these battleships, those who dare to resist will be thrown out of the universe directly, and those who dare not resist will be put in the detention room of the battleship by him.
Three fleets, fifteen warships, each with a source energy index of no less than 50,000, turned out that under Yang Wuji's "human cannonball" method, he couldn't even resist.
Except for the three battleships that saw that the situation was wrong and immediately started to jump and escape, the other battleships all became Yang Wuji's trophies.
This result made Yang Wuji very satisfied.
It turns out that the money he invested in the Shadow Phoenix was not in vain, although the overall source energy index of the Shadow Phoenix is not high, it is estimated to be about 150,000, but this 150,000 does not include any weapon systems, all specialized speed and concealment!
Yang Wuji estimated that unless it was a military warship with a source energy index of 500,000 or more, it would be difficult for an ordinary fleet to lock on and track the Shadow Phoenix.
After this small air battle, Akira's Beckman family directly confessed, allowing Akira to express his willingness to negotiate to Yang Wuji.
Yang Wuji was not surprised by this, after all, if he wanted to kill Akira, he would just come to the door and do it, the reason why he went around so many circles was also to knock on more bamboo poles, and to avoid himself and his sister from being targeted by the empire.
Not to mention anything else, just the batch of warships he captured can be sold on the black market for a lot of credits, not to mention those crew captives, how can the Beckman family pay a ransom to buy them.
Love kidnapping, huh? Then let's have a good time.
Looking at the negotiation location sent by Akira, Yang Wuji had some guesses in his heart.
It seems that the other party is still not giving up, and even the negotiation location has chosen a deserted planet far from the imperial territory, and it is estimated that he wants to do another game on the surface of the planet.
However, judging from the strength that the other party is currently showing, Yang Wuji doesn't care much about the Beckman family's backhand.
He is not afraid of space and air battles, but he is also afraid of ground battles? That's his forte!
Yang Wuji wasn't worried about whether the other party would blow up the entire planet.
First, with Yang Wuji's current physical fitness, even if the planet is destroyed, relying on his instantaneous burst and strong physical resistance, it is enough to escape from the core area and merge with the Shadow Phoenix.
Second, destroying an astral body without permission is an imperial felony, second only to crimes against humanity and treason, and it is unlikely that the Beckman family would do such a thing unless they are insane.
Three days later, Yang Wuji piloted the Shadow Phoenix to the negotiation planet agreed upon by the two sides.
Not only does this planet not even have a proper name, but the environment is extremely harsh, covered with yellow sand, and there is no flora, fauna, or water source in sight.
Yang Wuji parked the Shadow Phoenix outside the atmosphere, and directly catapulted his body to the ground near the coordinates agreed with the other party.
In a desert as calm as a golden ocean, a tall figure was standing quietly at the agreed coordinate position.
After Yang Wuji saw that figure, he manipulated his flesh and blood divine power, allowing himself to fall from a meteorite to a slow flight and landing.
"Are you the Beckman family?"
He didn't expect the other party to appear in front of him openly, so as soon as he fell to the ground, he opened his mouth to ask the other party.
The object of his inquiry was a robot about five meters tall, white as paper, with horns at the tip of its head and four hooves hanging in the air under its feet, looking like a centaur.
The material of this robot is very special, and Yang Wuji's divine thoughts can't be scanned and penetrated.
However, he had followed his sister to read the relevant information of the remote-controlled mecha a few times, so he could see at a glance that this should be some kind of special remote-controlled mecha, and it was the kind with a built-in cockpit.
Sure enough, as he asked, the voice of a living person came from inside the mecha:
"No, I'm just the best mecha in my family. I'm here to negotiate terms with you. ”
"On what terms?"
Yang Wuji was a little surprised, he thought that the other party appeared here as a thug, and today should be the kind of situation where they met and started fighting five seconds later, but he didn't expect the other party to come up and talk about the conditions, so he couldn't help but follow the other party's words and ask.
"The conditions are very simple," the mecha's eyes glowed red, and he replied:
"I represent the strongest existing combat power of the Beckman family, we fight, you win, the Beckman family is willing to do its best to compensate for your losses, as long as it is the plan you propose, as long as it does not endanger the fundamental interests of the family, we can compromise."
Yang Wuji raised his eyebrows:
"Including killing Akira Beckman?"
"Including the slaughter of Akira Beckman."
The mecha replied without hesitation:
"It even includes giving up 5% of the income rights of the entire Beckman family, which is at least hundreds of millions of credit points a year."
"So good?" Yang Wuji was a little incredulous.
"The premise is that you win me, and the 5% income right is to integrate all the benefits of Akira's parents' branch, and the number after integration may actually be different."
The mecha continued to explain. Yang Wuji asked about other situations:
"And what if I lose?"
"Die."
The bot's answer was simple and straightforward. Yang Wuji smiled:
"It sounds like your Beckman family is still on top, if I win, I'll have some money with me, and if I lose, I'll die? So what if I win and don't want to let go of your Beckman family? ”
The robot was silent for a moment and gave a convincing answer:
"Then our family will voluntarily give up 50% to 80% of the right to income in exchange for the protection of other larger families in order to protect themselves."
Rational, cruel, and efficient.
Is this what interest groups in the future are doing? I understand. ”
Yang Wuji nodded, and then without hesitation, he used his change talent, and the whole person became a complete body of the Lord of Flesh and Blood.
"Since that's the case, let's start fighting."
After turning into the form of the Lord of Flesh and Blood, Yang Wuji's height jumped to more than 4 meters, his body was like a red devil, his muscles were knotted, and there was a pair of black wings with a width of more than six meters behind him, which looked very similar to the Lord of Flesh and Blood back then, but his body was that of a man.
The white one-horned centaur mecha on the opposite side, there was a flash of light all over the body, and countless positions were opened in an instant, only to see a flash of golden light, and the mecha had disappeared in place.
"In the back?"
Under Yang Wuji's divine thoughts, no matter how fast he was, he sensed the other party's movements, and without hesitation, he turned around and threw a punch.
"Boom!"
A huge muffled sound came from his fist, and Yang Wuji felt a tingling pain in his fist, and then the whole person was instantly knocked away by a huge force.
Then came the raindrops.
The white unicorn mecha, because it was too fast, left countless afterimages in the air, it looked like countless clones, and these clones all maintained the same movements, bowing their heads and pointing at Yang Wuji with golden sharp corners, knocking Yang Wuji's blood-colored body out of depressions one by one.
The impact lasted for more than a minute, and finally, as if it was the finishing touch, the white unicorn mecha suddenly stopped in mid-air, and black lines began to converge on the golden unicorn.
At the same time, behind the mecha, various colorful positions began to overlap, pressing the surrounding space to tremble, as if countless huge forces were pressed on a piece of tissue paper.
Then the one-horned centaur mecha disappeared again, and this time, it turned into a black and gold light, and rushed straight towards Yang Wuji.
Its golden horn, covered with black lines, stabbed into Yang Wuji's chest like a sword of light.
Yang Wuji's tough red skin, which couldn't be broken no matter how much he collided before, was as fragile as tofu skin at the moment, and it was instantly pierced by a single horn!
"Win!"
The mecha master in the mecha was overjoyed, but he did not relax in the slightest, controlling the mecha to full horsepower, and still holding Yang Wuji on his head.
Penetrating the desert surface and the rocky crust, the mecha kept pushing Yang Wuji to the core of the planet, and then stopped weakly.
At this time, Yang Wuji's "corpse" was already in tatters, and his chest was pierced by the head of the mecha, hanging on the mecha's neck like a layer of red rags.
Seeing this, the mecha master breathed a sigh of relief, and manipulated the arm of the upper body of the mecha to tear off Yang Wuji's "corpse" and throw it in place.
"It can only be said that you are too arrogant, and those with physical enhancement abilities are the easiest to be restrained by mechas. No matter how strong the body is, can it be stronger than the various alloys that gather the resources of the whole universe? I'm just going to park the mecha there and let you fight, I'm afraid you won't even be able to hurt the shell of the mecha......"
The mecha master complained, and was just about to stop the mecha's full burst mode to save some energy, but suddenly heard a demonic whisper in his ear:
"Are you sure? Why don't we give it a try? ”
"What ??!!"
The mecha master was shocked, and immediately activated the burst mode of the mecha, and fled along the original path of the big hole that rushed in without hesitation.
As a result, as soon as he rushed out of the surface, the whole person was instantly stunned.
I saw that what was supposed to be a barren golden desert turned into a sea of red mist at this time!
Moreover, in the scanning of the mecha, these fogs, which seemed to have a radius of at least several thousand meters, actually formed the shape of a human foot!
And an intact, "brand-new" Yang Wuji was floating in mid-air, looking at the mecha that rushed out of the ground and plunged into the blood mist with a playful face.
"Didn't you say I couldn't break through the shell of your mech? Right now...... It's rumor busterer time. ”
As he spoke, he lifted a foot in the void.
The huge blood mist also lifted with his feet......
