Chapter 438 Visit (Five in One)

“That’s right, even if this weapon is limited, it’s still stronger than conventional weapons!” Celes agreed.

At this moment, Ankajia’s eyes darted around, and she tentatively asked Su Ming.

“Boss, don’t you have a purple Level 5 energy crystal? Can’t that be used as a substitute?”

“No, although a Level 5 energy crystal can barely be used, its power is not as good as this almost depleted black energy crystal.” Su Ming rejected Ankajia’s suggestion.

“You’re right.” Ankajia scratched his head.

“I’m not talking to you guys anymore, I’m going to the logistics department to ask if there are any Level 6 black energy crystals.” Su Ming thought for a moment and said to Rhine and the others.

“Alright!” Rhine and the others immediately responded.

Abyss of Fallen · Federation Defense Line Headquarters (Outside).

Su Ming took the moving platform to the logistics department.

Click!

At this moment, the moving platform stopped, and the sealed metal door opened. Su Ming walked straight out into a very spacious metal hall, where officers and generals were chatting everywhere.

This hall was the application hall of the logistics department, where most material applications were handled.

Su Ming walked straight inside.

Along the way, officers who saw Su Ming all smiled at him, nodding slightly in greeting.

Su Ming also smiled and nodded in response.

However, he always felt as if something was not quite right.

Soon, Su Ming arrived at the application window, only to see that a long queue had already formed there.

“So many people?” Su Ming was a bit surprised.

“Su Ming!” At this moment, a resentful voice sounded from beside him.

Upon hearing it, Su Ming turned his head and saw Su Yuan walking over, full of resentment.

“Oh, what a coincidence!” Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Coincidence my ass! How dare you? You stole my wife, and you even tricked me. I almost died in the cafeteria. You’re simply too much! I treated you so well, and I despise you!” Su Yuan rolled his eyes at Su Ming.

Su Ming chuckled and teased, “Is it appropriate for you to talk to your creditor like that? Shouldn’t you be more polite?”

“Hmph, it’s just 10 billion that I’m returning to you.” Su Yuan directly pinched a black card with two fingers and flicked it over handsomely.

Su Ming was also stunned, raising his hand to catch the black card.

“You have money now? I was originally thinking of just letting it go.”

“No, one thing at a time! Now that the money is returned to you, we are equal, and I can despise you now.”

“Alright, as you wish.” Su Ming shrugged, a wry smile on his face.

At this moment, several officers walked past, smiling and nodding in greeting to Su Ming.

Su Ming’s expression immediately showed extreme confusion. He didn’t know any of these officers, so why were they all so enthusiastic in greeting him?

“Hey, hey, I’m talking to you. Can you show me some respect?” Su Yuan complained impatiently when he saw Su Ming’s eyes wandering.

“Su Yuan, why are they all so polite in greeting me?” Su Ming asked curiously.

“What’s so strange about that? It’s to thank you for your contributions. All the supplies being claimed today were contributed by you! Recently, due to frequent problems with the supply lines, the allocated quotas were always very stingy. This time, it’s a feast.” Su Yuan replied without thinking.

“So that’s it. No wonder everyone is so polite.” Su Ming suddenly understood after hearing Su Yuan’s words.

At this moment, Su Yao, Belise, and Gunnite walked over and greeted them politely.

“Su Ming, you’re here too.”

“Yes, I’m here to apply for something.” Su Ming nodded in response.

“Okay, let’s queue up together then.” Su Yao said to Su Ming.

“Alright!” Su Ming and the others then walked to the very end of the line.

At this moment, Su Yao asked Su Ming curiously, “Su Ming, may I ask you something?”

“Of course you can.” Su Ming replied readily.

“How did you manage to penetrate deep into enemy territory so stealthily and capture Nodenga Fortress without any casualties?” Su Yao humbly inquired.

Su Yuan and the others also looked at Su Ming, completely puzzled.

“That! My Fallen Light has excellent stealth capabilities, which allowed it to penetrate deep into enemy territory. As for how Nodenga Fortress was captured, that’s a military secret and cannot be disclosed. My apologies.” Su Ming briefly explained.

“Understood.” Su Yao replied seriously.

“Hmph, what’s there to keep secret…” Su Yuan said in a casual tone.

However, halfway through his sentence, Su Yao’s glare forced him to swallow the rest of his words.

At this moment, it was their turn in the queue. Su Yao stepped forward to process her application, handing the request form into the window.

An elderly man, quite old, carefully looked at it, then picked up a stamp and pressed it down.

“Done!”

“Thank you.” Su Yao replied politely, then made way for Su Ming to handle his application.

Su Ming then walked to the window and politely asked, “Hello, I’d like to ask! Do you have Level 6 black energy crystals in the supply depot?”

The old man in front of him was startled by Su Ming’s words, then spoke, “What is your title, General?”

“Su Ming!”

“General Su Ming, we don’t have Level 6 black energy crystals here. The highest in stock is only Level 5 purple energy crystals. Currently, only the Cosmic Military Headquarters and the Federation Headquarters have Level 6 black energy crystals, but these are top-tier strategic materials and are very difficult to get approved.”

“Alright, thank you.” Su Ming replied with some regret.

Although the Cosmic Military Headquarters had them, he couldn’t actually go and get them, and approval was also an issue.

Su Yao and the others asked in confusion, “Su Ming, what do you need Level 6 black energy crystals for?”

“I need to use them, but it seems very difficult to obtain.” Su Ming replied, a bit of a headache.

Upon hearing this, Su Yao also frowned, muttering repeatedly, “Level 6 energy crystal, I seem to have heard of it somewhere, where was it?”

Su Ming was also somewhat surprised to hear Su Yao’s words and asked, “Do you know where there is one?”

“Oh, I remember now! Miss Helena, the ninth young lady of the Heintz Family, has a top-grade Level 6 black energy crystal.” Su Yao suddenly recalled.

“Miss Helena? Where is she then?” Su Ming’s eyes lit up as he asked.

“Nonsense, of course she’s at home.” Su Yuan interjected directly.

“Saint Jocks?”

“Please, if she were in Saint Jocks, why would I even mention it? I heard that Patriarch Gene Reese of the Heintz Family and Miss Helena are both in Sky Realm City.” Su Yuan said to Su Ming.

“Great, I’ll go find them right away.” Su Ming said immediately after hearing Su Yuan’s words.

“Hey, hey, they are important figures! It’s not that easy.” Su Yuan replied impatiently.

At this moment, Su Yao spoke to Su Yuan, “Su Yuan, since you know the place, accompany Su Ming on this trip.”

“Alright, but I’m doing this for my sister’s sake, otherwise I wouldn’t go with you.” Su Yuan still felt a bit awkward, finding an excuse for himself.

“Okay, I understand.”

“Alright, I’ll go get a car. See you at the T1 Interstellar Passage later.”

“Okay, I’ll go back and change.” Su Ming made arrangements with Su Yuan and then turned and left.

Not long after.

Su Ming returned to his room on the Fallen Light and changed into a discreet casual outfit.

At this moment, Little Gray excitedly chased Celes into the room.

“Stop chasing me! Su Ming, quickly catch this silly bird.” Celes said, a bit annoyed.

“Haha, Little Gray, come here!” Su Ming waved to Little Gray.

Seeing this, Little Gray flew onto Su Ming’s shoulder, chirping excitedly.

“Alright, stop chasing Celes all the time. Let it rest for a bit.” Su Ming reached out and stroked Little Gray’s head.

Little Gray obediently nodded.

At this moment, Celes flew over and asked curiously, “Su Ming, where are you going?”

“To talk business with someone. I won’t tell you now, I’m leaving!” Su Ming tucked Little Gray into his pocket and turned to leave the room.

Soon, Su Ming arrived at the T1 Interstellar Passage, where Su Yuan was waiting in a military hovercar, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses.

Su Ming opened the passenger seat door and got in, then said, “Let’s go!”

“Got it.” Su Yuan floored the accelerator, and the military hovercar shot out, driving along the interstellar passage towards Sky Realm City.

This interstellar passage not only had an interstellar track but also an independent driving lane.

Along the transparent glass curtain walls, every thousand meters displayed hot holographic advertisement projections.

Beautiful women with perfect figures, sexy, charming, sweet, and heroic appearances, as well as muscular, sunny, and handsome men, continuously refreshed and appeared.

“Interstellar Beauty Pageant, a century of grandeur, bringing you an encounter with ultimate aesthetics and witnessing the beauty of the world…” Su Ming glanced at the advertisements along the way and said to Su Yuan.

“So many beauty pageant ads, the organizers are really rich.”

“Isn’t that obvious? This is an interstellar beauty pageant. Back when Miss Hillis first debuted, she also participated in this interstellar beauty pageant and won the championship, which is how she became famous. Also, the Heintz Family is one of the behind-the-scenes sponsors of this competition, so do you think this competition could be short on money?” Su Yuan explained to Su Ming.

“No wonder the advertisements can reach here.” Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Su Ming, I’m just wondering, didn’t we both graduate from the same advanced training program?”

“Yes!”

“Then how did you get promoted so fast? It’s only been a few months, and you’ve already climbed to Lieutenant General.”

“There’s nothing strange about it. If you kill more of the enemy’s main generals, you can also get promoted that quickly.”

“You’re really a pervert.” Su Yuan replied speechlessly.

“Thank you for the compliment. By the way, I have a question for you.” Su Ming suddenly thought of something and asked, “Do you know if General Mia and General Evelyn have any grievances? It feels like they’re not just generally at odds.”

“What do you mean at odds? They’re enemies, alright.” Su Yuan corrected him directly.

“What exactly happened?”

“I’ll tell you, but don’t say I told you.”

“Don’t worry, when have I ever tricked you?” Su Ming guaranteed with a smile.

“General Mia and General Evelyn both graduated from the Royal Court Academy, and they were in the same class. It’s said that they were constantly at odds even when they were students. General Mia was typically undisciplined, while Evelyn was the discipline leader, so they often clashed.”

“Oh, just because of that?”

“Of course not just that. Evelyn has always served in the Second Legion. She’s very beautiful, has a particularly good figure, especially her cup size, which is considered the largest in the Second Legion. Then Mia arrived, and Evelyn became second! Although most generals don’t like Mia, to be fair, in terms of looks and figure, General Mia is slightly better.” Su Yuan said in a low voice.

“That’s possible?” Su Ming replied with a strange expression.

“Besides that, there’s one more crucial reason.”

“What reason?”

“Mia and Evelyn are both the most promising candidates to be promoted to the Federation’s first female Grand General. You should know that among the Federation’s current seven Grand Generals, except for the first whose identity is unclear, the other six are all men.”

“If we’re talking about strength, I think Mia is stronger than Evelyn.”

“You’re right, Mia is indeed stronger in terms of strength. But she constantly causes trouble and disregards military discipline. If it weren’t for that, she would have been promoted to Grand General long ago. As for Evelyn, although her strength is slightly inferior to Mia’s, she has good connections and a very impressive resume. Therefore, the two became rivals, so do you think their relationship could be good?” Su Yuan said lazily.

“Understood.” Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

“I’m not going to keep chatting with you, we’ve arrived at Sky Realm City.”

Su Yuan drove out of the tunnel and arrived at Sky Realm City.

The entire Sky Realm City was incredibly lively, with colorful large balloons floating in the air, projecting advertisements for a beauty pageant.

All the virtual advertising spaces on major buildings were booked, repeatedly broadcasting interviews related to the beauty pageant.

Pedestrians on the streets, regardless of gender or age, would occasionally stop to watch the holographic advertisements, creating an incredibly vibrant atmosphere.

“It’s so lively. Honestly, if you only looked at this city, who would think this is the front line?”

Su Ming said, looking at the prosperous scene outside the window.

“It’s normal. Although this city nominally belongs to the Federation, it’s essentially Saint Jocks. No matter how much Apocalypse Divine Kingdom fights the Federation, they won’t attack here. As for the alien races, there’s a defense line watching them. If all else fails, it can also move and escape, so it’s very safe.”

“Mm!”

“The Heintz Family’s residence is just ahead.”

Su Yuan reminded Su Ming.

“Are you sure? Isn’t that Sky Realm City’s largest floating island? The entire floating island belongs to them?”

“That’s right. I’ll drive the car to the main gate of the floating island. We’ll make an appointment to visit. As long as we can see Miss Helena or Gene Reese, the patriarch, it’ll be fine.”

“Who are you more familiar with?”

Su Ming turned his head to Su Yuan and asked.

“I’m not familiar with either of them.”

Su Yuan paused slightly, replying somewhat awkwardly.

After hearing Su Yuan’s words, Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed, saying,

“I thought you knew them.”

“How could I possibly know them? But it doesn’t matter. We can visit Gene Reese, the patriarch, in the name of the family. After all, visiting Miss Helena would indeed be a bit abrupt.”

Su Yuan quickly said.

“Alright then.”

Su Ming implicitly agreed.

Soon, the two drove to the floating island, arriving at the entrance of the manor castle.

“Stop!”

At this moment, a burly man in third-generation exoskeleton armor, with a beard, and a sturdy build, leading a group of subordinates, stretched out his hand to stop Su Ming’s car.

Seeing this, Su Ming and Su Yuan opened the car doors and got out.

“I am Security Captain Lu Bi. Who are you? What are you doing here?”

Lu Bi scrutinized Su Ming and the other with wary eyes.

“We are here to visit Gene Reese, the patriarch.”

Su Yuan said straightforwardly.

“Visit our patriarch? Do you have an appointment?”

Lu Bi asked, his expression suddenly a bit nervous.

“No.”

Su Yuan shook his head and replied.

“Sorry, no appointment, no meeting. Please go back!”

Lu Bi replied with a dark expression upon hearing Su Yuan’s words.

He had thought he had offended some important figure.

“Then can we make an appointment now?”

“Are you trying to be funny? Is our Gene Reese, the patriarch, someone who can be seen by just anyone? There are too many people who want to see him.”

“Oh, you look down on us! We are generals of the Federation!”

Su Yuan immediately revealed his identity.

“So what if you’re generals of the Federation? Even if your Soleia Commander wants to see our Gene Reese, the patriarch, she still needs to make an appointment in advance.”

Lu Bi replied irritably.

“Brother, can you help us out?”

Su Ming also didn’t expect them to be so difficult to meet.

“It’s not that I won’t help you, but even if I let you through, you won’t get past the checkpoints inside.”

Lu Bi sized up Su Ming, not wanting to offend them too much, then explained.

Su Ming’s eyes flickered, then he politely said,

“Mr. Lu Bi, how about we step aside and talk?”

“Alright!”

Lu Bi hesitated, but finally followed Su Ming to the side.

Su Ming then took out ten 10,000 federal currency notes from his pocket, slipped them into Lu Bi’s hand, and said,

“Brother, can you do us a favor?”

“Oh, I’ll be honest with you, even if I let you in, you won’t see them. Gene Reese, the patriarch, and the others aren’t here.”

“Then where are they?”

“They’ve all gone to the Interstellar Beauty Pageant.”

Lu Bi secretly glanced around, then whispered in Su Ming’s ear.

“Thank you.”

After getting the information, Su Ming turned and walked towards the hovercar, while waving to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan immediately followed him into the car, asking in confusion,

“What’s wrong?”

“They’re not home. They’re at the beauty pageant.”

Su Ming explained simply.

“That’s perfect then! After we finish our business, we can even enjoy the competition.”

“Do you know where the competition venue is?”

“Of course, I do. It’s at the central Saint Joe venue.”

Su Yuan stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Soon after, Su Yuan and Su Ming drove to the central area. From a distance, they saw a giant spherical building, its surface composed of metal frames and special glass, making it very magnificent.

The entire building was enclosed by towering metal walls, and outside, crowds of people and reporters were gathered, completely blocking the nearby roads.

“That’s the Saint Joe venue. There are so many people!”

Su Yuan said in surprise.

“Park the car aside, we’ll walk over.”

Su Ming said decisively.

“Okay!”

Su Yuan immediately parked the car aside.

The two got out of the car and ran towards the Saint Joe venue.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance, where security personnel, each holding a beam gun and wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor, stood guard strictly.

As soon as Su Ming and the other approached, they were stopped, and the security personnel directly reached out and asked,

“Tickets!”

“We don’t have tickets. Can we buy them now? Any price is fine.”

Su Ming tried asking.

“No entry without an invitation or a ticket.”

The security personnel in charge refused unceremoniously.

Su Ming frowned slightly and turned to Su Yuan, asking,

“Su Yuan, can you get tickets?”

“Get a hammer! Tickets are long sold out. And who knew we’d need to come to a place like this? We didn’t prepare in advance at all.”

Su Yuan replied helplessly.

After hearing Su Yuan’s words, Su Ming turned to look at the surrounding crowd and shouted,

“Is anyone selling tickets? We’ll pay a high price!”

At this moment, a man wearing glasses and a reporter’s badge smiled and said to Su Ming,

“Brother, stop shouting. Tickets for this beauty pageant sold out a long time ago. The buyers are either rich or noble. There are no scalped tickets at all, otherwise, would we still be squatting here?”

Su Ming’s heart sank upon hearing this.

Su Yuan quietly asked Su Ming,

“What do we do now? We can’t get in without tickets.”

“We have to find a way, even if we can’t get in. Follow me!”

Su Ming’s expression shifted, then he led Su Yuan away. He absolutely had to get that Level 6 black energy crystal. Although it wouldn’t provide power enhancement after installation, and its power would decrease somewhat, it would be enough for mass killing of mechs below the fourth generation.

Soon, Su Ming and Su Yuan arrived at the back wall of the Saint Joe venue.

“Oh my, you’re not thinking of climbing over the wall, are you?”

Su Yuan asked, a bit dumbfounded.

“What else? Do you have another way?”

“That’s not good. What if we’re discovered? The Heintz Family isn’t to be trifled with, you know?”

Su Yuan said with a bit of trepidation.

The Heintz Family was the third-ranked family in Saint Jocks.

“It’s fine. At most, we’ll just be kicked out if we’re discovered. What else can they do to us?”

Su Ming observed for a moment, then charged straight at the wall, leaping over it with ease.

“Wait for me!”

Seeing this, Su Yuan could only bite the bullet and follow.

Both of them had been injected with advanced genetic agents, and in a sense, their physical qualities were not much different from low-level monsters. A mere wall couldn’t stop them at all.

When they entered the wall, they immediately saw a small door to the Saint Joe venue.

Su Ming and Su Yuan crept to the small door, reached out, and twisted the doorknob. Finding it unlocked, they opened the back door and slipped inside.

They arrived in a dimly lit corridor, which was quiet, with some miscellaneous items piled in the corners.

“This looks like the backstage, doesn’t it?”

Su Yuan glanced around, lowering his voice.

“Backstage is even better. We’ll go directly to Miss Helena.”

Su Ming replied calmly.

“Are you sure this is okay?”

Su Yuan always felt something was off. They were clearly here to buy something, but it felt like they were sneaking around like thieves.

“No problem.”

Su Ming replied calmly as he walked forward.

Just as they reached a crossroads, suddenly footsteps and voices came.

“Someone’s coming.”

Su Yuan said nervously.

Su Ming quickly pulled Su Yuan to hide behind the pile of miscellaneous items.

At this moment, a handsome young man with golden hair, arrogant eyes, wearing a white shirt, and a perfect physique, walked over with a very gentle-looking man with earrings, whose gender was somewhat indistinguishable.

“Schuler, I heard that Miss Helena is also participating in this beauty pageant!”

“Not only that, Miss Violet Lolo is here too.”

“Then we should perform even better. It would be great if we could gain their favor.”

“Of course. I’m coming with my family to participate in the competition this time. Besides promoting our own mechs, the main purpose is actually to get in touch with Miss Violet Lolo and them.”

“That’s a good idea, but it’s probably very difficult. Forget it, we’ll take it one step at a time. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll just have to settle for something less and get in touch with young ladies from other families! There are quite a few young ladies from various families participating this time.”

“Mm!”

Schuler and the other walked further and further away.

Seeing the two walk away, Su Ming led Su Yuan deeper inside.

However, just as the two passed an intersection, they were spotted from a distance by patrolling security personnel.

“Who are you? Stop!”

“Oh no, we’ve been discovered.”

Su Yuan said with a very dramatic expression.

“Go back!”

Su Ming frowned and decisively led Su Yuan back.

However, they hadn’t walked far back when they directly bumped into a figure at a corner. The two quickly stopped.

“Summer Lane?”

At this moment, a slightly surprised voice sounded.

“Summer Lane?”

Su Ming also paused, replying in astonishment.

The person in front of him was none other than Summer Lane. She was dressed as always in a black tight leather suit, but this time her chest was no longer flat, but highly prominent, quite substantial.

At this time, the two security personnel rushed over, angrily asking,

“Who are you?”

Su Yuan couldn’t help but shrug, with an expression that said, “It’s over.”

“They are my friends, is there a problem?”

Although Summer Lane didn’t know what was going on, she still stepped forward and said directly.

“Oh, they’re Miss Summer Lane’s friends. Then it’s no problem. We thought a paparazzi had snuck backstage.”

The two security personnel quickly replied politely.

“There’s nothing for you to do here.”

Summer Lane directly dismissed them.

“Okay!”

The two security personnel immediately left.

“Thank you.”

Su Ming looked at Summer Lane and thanked her.

“No need to be so polite, it’s a small matter!”

Summer Lane replied very straightforwardly.

At this moment, Su Ming looked at Summer Lane in front of him, feeling that something was strange, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

However, as his gaze fell on Summer Lane’s chest, Su Ming immediately realized.

Summer Lane’s chest had gotten bigger, which was incredible.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Ming’s eyes. Had she taken some medicine? No, that’s not right, the effect of medicine wouldn’t be that exaggerated? It hadn’t been that long since they last met.

Summer Lane saw Su Ming staring at her chest, and her cheeks flushed slightly. Sure enough, Violet Lolo was right, men like big ones, and it had an effect right away.

“Cough, cough, Mr. Su Ming, why are you here?”

Summer Lane asked, feigning nonchalance.

“I’m here to find Miss Helena.”

Su Ming explained.

“You’re looking for Miss Helena? I know where she is. I’ll take you to her.”

Summer Lane said readily.

“That’s great.”

Su Ming didn’t expect it to be so smooth.

“Small matter, this way!”

Summer Lane directly led the two away from there.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at the entrance of the backstage changing room.

“Miss Helena is inside.”

Summer Lane directly led Su Ming and Su Yuan inside, pushing the door open.

As soon as they entered, Su Ming and Su Yuan both froze.

Inside the changing room, numerous girls were changing, wearing only their underwear, creating an incredibly alluring scene.

Su Ming reacted immediately and quickly said, “I’m sorry!”

He immediately turned and rushed out.

At this moment, Su Yuan was still standing there, his eyes wide, and saliva almost drooling.

“Ah! Pervert!”

The next second, a piercing scream rang out.

Su Ming rushed back in and pulled Su Yuan out.

Summer Lane also paused for a moment and then ran out as well.

At this time, security personnel ran over from the left, shouting loudly, “Don’t run!”

“Catch them.”

“Call for backup, call for backup.”

“Run quickly!”

The three of them, Su Ming, Su Yuan, and Summer Lane, ran frantically down the right corridor.

As they rounded the corner, a burly security guard, two meters tall, blocked their way.

Without a word, Summer Lane delivered a high whip kick through the air, hitting him squarely in the face, sending him flying.

At this moment, due to the force of her kick, Summer Lane’s chest dropped directly to her abdomen.

Su Ming was stunned by this scene.

Summer Lane immediately realized what happened, quickly used her hand to lift it back into place, and then said to Su Ming, “Run!”

“Okay!”

Su Ming didn’t care about anything else and quickly ran forward.

The entire backstage area descended into chaos.

The pursuing security personnel continuously contacted their companions using communication devices.

“Team 3, attention, the intruders have escaped to that side inside.”

“Understood!”

As they passed through an intersection, they ran head-on into Schuler and Varido.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Schuler clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it over with a whistling force.

However, Su Ming reached out and firmly caught Schuler’s fist, then executed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him heavily onto the ground.

Bang!

Schuler was completely stunned by the fall; he had been injected with Type III gene serum, yet this guy had taken him down so easily?

Varido, standing nearby, was also terrified and quickly retreated.

“I’ll handle this.”

Just as Su Yuan was about to rush forward and take down Varido.

Suddenly, security personnel wearing exoskeleton armor and carrying beam guns rushed in from both front and back, pointing their guns at Su Ming and the others, shouting, “Don’t move!”

Su Yuan’s body stiffened instantly, and he stopped awkwardly.

Seeing that they were surrounded, Su Ming could only raise his hands and shout, “We surrender!”

“Don’t shoot.”

Summer Lane quickly shouted.

Seeing Summer Lane speak, the many security personnel were a bit at a loss.

At this moment, several tall, beautiful young ladies, their faces filled with anger, walked over furiously.

The one leading them, a fiery woman with waist-length red hair, a melon-seed face, and fair skin, pointed at Su Ming and Su Yuan and said, “They’re the ones who peeked at us! Arrest them!”

“Miss Anmina, this is a misunderstanding. I was the one who brought them into the changing room. I didn’t realize you had started changing. This is all my fault.”

Summer Lane quickly explained.

“Summer Lane, come here. Don’t be afraid of them. We have so many people; they can’t coerce you.”

Anmina thought Summer Lane was being coerced by Su Ming and Su Yuan, so she said to her.

“No, it’s really a misunderstanding.”

Summer Lane was a bit anxious at this moment.

At this moment, Violet Lolo and a tall, graceful woman with fair, porcelain-like skin, a delicate face, and lively eyes, walked out from behind Anmina and the others.

Violet Lolo saw Summer Lane and exclaimed in surprise, “Sixth Sister?”

The moment Su Yuan saw Violet Lolo, a lovesick expression appeared on his face, and he excitedly said to Su Ming, “Su Ming, I feel like spring has come again!”

“Can’t you be a bit more ambitious? Aren’t you pursuing Miss Hillis? You’re changing targets so quickly.”

Su Ming replied with a hint of disdain.

“You have the nerve to say that? I even gave my wife to you; can’t I change?”

Su Yuan retorted angrily.

At this moment, Summer Lane said to Violet Lolo, “Seventh Sister, please help explain. It’s really a misunderstanding. Mr. Su Ming is not a bad person.”

“Mr. Su Ming, why are you here?”

Violet Lolo heard Summer Lane’s words and then noticed Su Ming, asking in great surprise.

“I’m here to find someone.”

Su Ming replied with a bitter smile.

Su Yuan, seeing that Violet Lolo knew Su Ming, immediately complained to Su Ming with a dark expression.

“Hey, hey, you’re going too far! I just took a liking to her, and you’re snatching her again?”

“I can’t be blamed for this. Your grandfather told you to go back for a blind date, and you refused. It just so happened that I went back to the family and met her, and that’s how we got to know each other.”

Su Ming replied helplessly.

“Damn you!”

Su Yuan’s face turned green when he heard this.

At this moment, Violet Lolo said to Anmina, “Anmina, could this be a misunderstanding?”

“Misunderstanding or not, he saw it. If we don’t poke out his eyes, this matter isn’t over.”

Anmina raised her hand, pointed at Su Yuan, and said through gritted teeth.

“That’s right, poke out his eyes.”

Many girls present angrily agreed.

“Hey, hey, I wasn’t the only one who saw it. Su Ming saw it too. Why do you all want to poke out my eyes?”

Su Yuan complained with a very dramatic expression.

Su Ming looked at Su Yuan with a dark face. He really was a good brother, actively dragging him into trouble.

“If not you, then who? At least he’s quite handsome. If he saw it, he saw it; we can just bear with it. You’re so ugly, and you still stared with your eyes wide open.”

Anmina said unceremoniously.

“I’m ugly? You’re the ugly one!”

Su Yuan jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, replying angrily.

“Stop arguing, everyone quiet down.”

At this moment, the woman next to Violet Lolo spoke softly.

“Miss Helena, it’s not that we want to argue; it’s this guy who’s too much.”

Anmina said angrily.

Su Ming heard Anmina’s words and then looked at Helena. So she was the person he was looking for.

At this moment, Schuler stood up from the ground, clutching his waist, and said fiercely, “These two weren’t invited at all. Their presence here must be for ulterior motives. Miss Summer Lane must have been deceived by them. We absolutely cannot let them off easily; we must apprehend them!”

“Oh, you say apprehend us, and we’ll be apprehended? We are generals of the Federation!”

Su Yuan retorted angrily.

“Are you an idiot?”

Su Ming heard Su Yuan reveal his identity, raised his hand to his forehead, and said with a headache.

Revealing their identity at this moment would only add to their crimes, and they would surely be demoted.

“Oh, so you are generals of the Federation. Then you are even more guilty. Take them down.”

Schuler said with a very firm attitude.

Su Yuan also paused, then realized that he had shot himself in the foot this time.

Sky Realm City is protected by the Federation, and anyone who causes trouble here will be severely punished.

The security personnel on site all raised their weapons and stepped forward.

“Who dares!”

Summer Lane stepped forward directly and reprimanded the security personnel.

For a moment, these security personnel were in a dilemma; they couldn’t afford to offend either side.

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, footsteps approached, followed by a majestic voice.

“What are you doing?”

Everyone on the scene was startled and turned their heads to look.

They saw Gene Reese, the clan leader, and several old men in luxurious clothing with extraordinary demeanor walking over.

“Clan Leader Gene Reese, these two Federation personnel secretly infiltrated the backstage and even peeped at many young ladies changing clothes. Their crime is unforgivable.”

Schuler said respectfully.

Su Ming listened to Schuler’s words, and his head also ached a little. This time, it was truly impossible to clear things up.

At this moment, Clan Leader Gene Reese’s face also darkened upon hearing Schuler’s words. However, the moment he saw Su Ming, his expression froze, and then he said very politely, “Isn’t this Mr. Su Ming?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Violet Lolo, Summer Lane, Helena, Schuler, and the others were completely stunned.

Clan Leader Gene Reese was actually so polite to this Su Ming?

“Clan Leader Gene Reese, long time no see.”

Su Ming replied very politely.

However, he was also very surprised. He had no real interaction with Clan Leader Gene Reese; the only connection was seeing him once or twice from a distance at the Haunted Star banquet, yet the other party was so polite to him.

In fact, Clan Leader Gene Reese was so polite to Su Ming because he was watching nearby during the final melee of the Haunted Star competition.

Clan Leader Gene Reese had personally witnessed Su Ming overpowering the entire field, forcing Apocalypse Divine Kingdom and Dark Star Empire to retreat.

He knew better than anyone how strong Su Ming was.

“It’s been a while since our farewell in Shabask Kingdom. May I ask, Mr. Su Ming, what brings you here?”

Clan Leader Gene Reese greeted with a smile.

“It’s like this: I heard that Miss Helena has a Level 6 black energy crystal, so I wanted to purchase it, but I didn’t expect all these things to happen.”

Su Ming replied straightforwardly.

“I see, it’s all a misunderstanding. Everyone, please disperse!”

Clan Leader Gene Reese heard this and then said to everyone.

Although Anmina and the others were still seething with anger, they could only leave grudgingly.

“Mr. Su Ming, your timing is perfect. The Interstellar Beauty Pageant is about to begin. How about we watch the competition while we talk?”

Clan Leader Gene Reese enthusiastically invited Su Ming.

“Okay, then I’ll impose.”

Su Ming readily agreed.

“This way, please!”

Clan Leader Gene Reese said with a smile.

Su Ming and Su Yuan then followed Clan Leader Gene Reese and left.

Abyss of Fallen Federation Defense Line Headquarters (External) · Office.

Soleia Commander sat at her desk, head bowed, reviewing documents.

Ding ding ~

At this moment, the special fixed phone on her desk suddenly rang.

Soleia Commander immediately stopped reviewing documents, raised her head, and looked at the screen on the fixed phone. It displayed an X-01 encrypted call.

Her old face instantly became very solemn, then she reached out and picked up the phone, saying in a deep voice, “It’s me, what’s the matter?”

“Andefa has brought a large force of elite troops and secret weapons to the front line.”

A hoarse voice came from the phone.

“Is it another round of harassment?”

“No, this time it’s not harassment; it’s an all-out war.”

“All-out war?”

A vein bulged on Soleia Commander’s forehead, and she instantly snapped the pen in her hand.

“That’s right, this is Pope Van Lo’s order.”

“I understand. Can you find a way to locate the secret weapons he’s carrying?”

“I’ll do my best. You prepare as quickly as possible.”

“Good!”

Soleia Commander hung up the phone, her entire old face turned incredibly grim, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
