THE SEVENTH BASE

Chapter 474: Chapter 81 Sister Qing?

Liu Family, the top family on Byron Star and like the Xiang Family, descendants of the founders of the Federation, stayed backstage.

At this moment, the people of the Liu Family were chatting in the manor.

Guffu had visited the Liu Family today, being a high-ranking official in the Federation Army, he wielded significant influence within it.

Although he was nothing compared to the Liu Family, he still received a warm reception.

Guffu, an S-level Transcendent, even within the entire Federation, was considered a top-tier figure. With his equipment, he could exhibit SS-level combat power, and such a person’s status was high anywhere.

However, after receiving the news that Xu Mo was alive and had returned, he immediately knew trouble was brewing and made his visit to the Liu Family.

In Byron Star, there were few forces that could counterbalance the Divine Sword Bureau, just the several major families backing the Federation government had this capability.

“So, you killed the SS-level Mechanical Body from Lancelot Star?” At this moment, a middle-aged man from the Liu Family asked Guffu.

“Yes,” Guffu nodded. “The Super Energy Body was right in front of us, and people from Lancelot Star had arrived, naturally, they couldn’t be left alive.”

“These alien races, they deserved to be killed,” the middle-aged man said. “What happened after that?”

“I killed a Mecha Master from the Stark Group,” Guffu continued, which surprised the Liu Family’s middle-aged man. Previously, Guffu had not mentioned this—Stark Group cooperated with the Federation government and traveled together.

“Stark Group has advanced technology and teams, but it’s privately owned and not for the Federation Government’s use. The Super Mechanical Body shouldn’t fall into their hands,” Guffu said sternly, with a hint of authority in his voice.

The Liu Family’s middle-aged man nodded, finding no issue.

Indeed, they did not much like these private corporations.

“These private tycoons, they really have no stand, like grass on the top of a wall. If anything goes wrong in the Federation, they would likely be the first to turn coat,” Guffu remarked coldly.

“And then?” asked the Liu Family’s middle-aged man.

“The Divine Sword Bureau wanted to cooperate with the Stark Group, they stood on the same side, and a conflict arose between us. I killed Han Hu from the Divine Sword Bureau, but afterward, the Super Energy Body released a powerful energy, and I was forced to retreat, unable to retrieve it,” Guffu admitted openly.

It was something that couldn’t be hidden.

Xu Mo and Ye Xi had returned alive; the Divine Sword Bureau wouldn’t let him off, he needed to seek help from the Liu Family, so he needed their support.

If he wanted support, he had to be honest. Hoping to rely on concealment wasn’t feasible; if the Liu Family noticed anything amiss, they wouldn’t protect him.

The Liu Family’s middle-aged man watched Guffu, seeming to understand something.

So, Guffu came here today for this reason?

“The Super Energy Body needs to be controlled by the Federation, the army needs to retrieve it,” Guffu mentioned firmly. “As far as I know, after Xu Mo and Ye Xi returned, two mechas came to pick them up, belonging to the Divine Sword Bureau and the Stark Group. Why was the Stark Group involved? What did Xu Mo and Ye Xi bring back?”

“Moreover, Xu Mo has a very good relationship with Stark Group’s Young Master. He is staying in accommodations provided by Stark Group. If he could return alive, he must have brought back something very important, possibly related to the Super Energy Body. Such an important item would likely have been handed to the Divine Sword Bureau and the Stark Group, while the Federation Government, unbelievably, had no part in it.”

Guffu’s words were like a thorn. He clearly understood the mindset of the Liu Family people—these top-tier families believed they were the true masters of the Federation.

What was Stark Group?

Now, the Divine Sword Bureau and Stark Group intended to collaborate, yet left out the Federation Government?

The Liu Family’s middle-aged man watched Guffu. Although he knew Guffu might have his own agenda, all he said was indeed correct, and he was speaking mostly the truth—many things, he was also well aware.

“The Divine Sword Bureau is getting out of line,” the Liu Family’s middle-aged man said.

At that moment, a bright light flashed in the distance, and a wave of invisible energy fluctuated towards them.

The Liu Family members frowned and looked into the distance.

Guffu also stared at that direction, squinting his eyes. Were they coming this fast?

Who else but the Divine Sword Bureau’s people could dare to attack the Liu Family?

No one else in the Federation would have the guts.

Soon, they saw a figure walking towards them from a distance.

The people of the Liu Family all stood up, their expressions not very pleasant.

Liu Qingyun was the current Sect Leader of the Liu Family. As the elder was old and handling less, Liu Qingyun managed the affairs, and watching the approaching figure, he stood up and took a few steps forward.

Across from him, Ye Huan stopped.

“Ye Huan, what is the meaning of this?” Liu Qingyun asked.

“Guffu murdered people of the Divine Sword Bureau, and betrayed the Federation; I am here to take him back for investigation,” Ye Huan declared.

“Guffu, being a high-ranking official in the Federation Army, why would he betray the Federation?” Liu Qingyun said. “As for your claim that he killed someone from the Divine Sword Bureau, where is this coming from?”

“During this mission, Guffu, along with Knight, killed a Mecha Master from the Stark Group and Han Hu, driving Ye Xi and Xu Mo into a corner,” Ye Huan explained.

“Who is Knight?” Liu Qingyun asked.

“A soldier of the Federation, he lost his life in the course of this mission,” Guffu responded from the side.

“Ye Huan, is the Divine Sword Bureau targeting Federation soldiers?” Liu Qingyun questioned. “What have Xu Mo and Ye Xi brought back, what did they tell you, and why is the Federation Government unaware of it?”
