Mungo turned to stone….
The saviour he was waiting for took him for a liar – a brilliant liar, but still a liar!
Nevertheless, Mungo’s devastated heart still carried a great amount of hope. He burst into a wild scream while still being pressed to the ground.
“Listen to me, sir! The overload operation of the base is being terminated as we speak and will complete in a minute at most. I don’t have time to explain everything to you right now, but you just need to understand that once the overload operation is stopped, it cannot be re-initiated again, and you’ll never get the thing that you want, ever! Make the old hag pull out the key right away! I’m already in such a terrible situation, I have no need to deceive you!”
The unkempt man was stunned. Fiji and the two Lieutenant Generals looked towards him at the same time. The man contemplated for a moment and said, “Mr. Mungo has convinced me. Lieutenant General, please do as he says and pull out the key.”
“Who do you think you are? You dirty, disgusting fool, how dare you talk to me like that? Shut your dirty mouth,” the old maid immediately retorted with disdain in a shrill voice.
Mungo was trembling down to his core. He could not help shouting again, “Thirty seconds left, sir!”
The dirty man’s expression changed for a moment, but he suddenly smiled.
“Well, I seem to have ten contribution points left for this month…”
After he said this, a shocking thing happened. The Kitty Hawk base, which was completely under the control of Fiji and his group by now, went out of control!
The next second, six metal jet sprays suddenly popped out from the ceiling of Mungo’s office, three of which simultaneously narrowed their focus and took aim! Then, they shot out a hot metallic storm!
These weapons were usually used for short-range burst fire in interstellar port warfares, like shotguns. They had an astonishing capability in killing any kind of living creatures, but would not cause too much damage to the ship. A human that was hit by them would become like a fruit in a giant blender!
It was a bloody, suffocating, and terrifying sight to behold!
The old woman and the two Military Policemen who were holding Mungo down lost their upper bodies in an instant before they could even make a noise, leaving only their legs standing in place. Their upper bodies had been completely torn apart by the metallic shrapnel storm. Bones, flesh, brain matters, ligaments, and uniform pieces formed a bloody blend which sprayed more than ten meters behind them!
The unkempt man kept smiling as he slowly said, “Ten contribution points are more than enough to pay the fine for killing a Lieutenant General… By the way, what are you waiting for, Major General Mungo? If I don’t get any useful information, I don’t mind paying a few more points to kill a Major General too.”
Mungo screamed and rushed to his desk. The others were frozen stiff and made no attempt to stop him, not because of the threat from the metal jet sprays, but because they still found it hard to believe….
Lieutenant General Josephine Benny, special envoy of the Imperial Constitutional Command and one of the main elders of the Fiji family, had died just like that???
Lieutenant General Josephine Benny’s leather booted legs succumbed to gravity and fell to the ground with a crash. More blood flowed across the polished floor.
Mungo did not experience the thrills stopping the termination at the last second as was commonly seen in action movies. There were still twelve seconds left on the countdown when he pulled out the key of highest authority. He then screamed into the loudspeaker, “Abort the previous orders! Continue overloading the Kitty Hawk’s reactors!”
“I repeat, abort the previous orders and continue overloading the Kitty Hawk’s reactors!”
“Those who dare to disobey the order will be executed immediately without trial!”
At this point, the furious special-grade captain of the spaceship, Captain Ruth, could not take it anymore. He took a step forward and shouted at the unkempt man, “What right do you have to kill a Lieutenant General of the Empire??!”
The unkempt man’s 3D projection looked at the captain and blew a smoke ring disdainfully, as if he was looking at an ant. He then threw his cigarette butt, which was also vividly reproduced by the 3D holographic device.
The holographic cigarette butt went through Ruth, then bounced a few times as it hit the wall and floor on the other side of the communicator. When it finally landed in front of everyone, they could finally see the brand on the butt – a clear black cross!
This brand, combined with the unkempt man’s ability to seize the top authority on the Kitty Hawk base as soon as he appeared, meant that anyone with a bit of common sense would be able to roughly guess his identity!
Because only royalty could enjoy the use of the exclusive luxury goods with the black cross brand!
Mungo was dumbstruck. A member of royalty who was also a researcher in the Big Ben Research Institute, what a luxurious combination! He realised with a jolt that, if he did not grab this chance to build a connection with this man, he deserved to be punished by the heavens!
The unkempt man had started getting impatient by now.
“Mungo, the overloading termination process has stopped. Where are the things that I want? My afternoon tea starts in five minutes.”
Mungo immediately pressed a few buttons on his desk, then displayed the signal transmitted from Cyborg No. 1’s eye in a high-definition projection on the opposite wall.
“Your Highness….This is my source. You can find everything you want in here.”
“Wow, you bastard, you actually hired a grandmaster-level director for your trick, and you even went to other planets for filming. The clarity, the special effects, and the background arrangements are all first-class. This is actually quite interesting.”
Mungo had already made a search with the following keywords: royal family member, Big Ben Researcher, careless, smoking, cold attitude and so on. These keywords pointed to a person named Pombaru.
He was estimated to have a 17.44% probability of inheriting the throne. This may seem quite low, but considering that the current Emperor had 184 children in total, it was actually a pretty decent chance.
***
At the same time, on the distant planet Uplos, Sheyan was already standing in the open space. More than ten meters in front of him was the mysterious man who could single-handedly kill three Slaadi!
The guy was wearing on his head an impressive animal skull that had a primitive and barbaric majesty. His body appeared unnaturally tall and his muscles were very well-defined. He cut an impressive figure even in front of Sheyan.
The man cracked his knuckles in anticipation. Sheyan did not dare get careless. He had already released his disease aura, but the guy seemed to have a very high resistance to diseases. The A-virus would require a long time to breach his immune system and take effect.
“Come on,” Sheyan stared at the man and said in a faint voice. The next instant, he felt as if he was being suffocated by the force from a wild beast! The skull-wearing enemy charged at Sheyan with a roar. He then raised his arms high and slammed his fists down on Sheyan heavily.
Sheyan raised his hands to block without showing any fear!
A loud bang reverberated through the camp. The whole world seemed to shake. The ground at Sheyan’s feet cracked and splintered, spraying rocks and sands everywhere. The two men collided with each other like two strong bulls enraged by red cloths!
They both bounced back from the tremendous impact, retreating a few steps each. Vortexes formed in the air around them. They both instantly charged forward again!
After the next collision, the surrounding air whirled like a winter storm. Sheyan’s clothes and the animal skin draped around the skull man’s body could not resist the strong force and simultaneously burst into pieces!
Sheyan instantly noticed something.
In the middle of the skull man’s chest, there was a dish-sized protuberance. It protruded about two to three centimeters above the surface of his body and was covered in purplish-black blood vessels and red veins. Four prominent blood vessels extended outwards and burrowed deep into his body.
The colour of the flesh on this protuberance was obviously different from the colour of the surrounding flesh. It could even be called a tumour.
While Sheyan had his attention on this protuberance, he was kicked on his abdomen, but Sheyan also managed to land a punch on the opponent’s face. Sheyan also noticed that after the enemy was hit by his fist, besides bleeding from the mouth, a faint glow had also appeared on the tumour on the enemy’s chest, and the tumour started beating at a slightly higher frequency.
“Is this parasite on his body the source of his strength?” An idea flashed through Sheyan’s mind. He immediately pounced forward and launched both fists at the tumour.
Unexpectedly, the skull man actually raised his hands and allowed Sheyan’s double punches to land on his chest! Sheyan’s punches were thrown at full strength, but when the strikes landed on the tumour, it felt like the toughest muscles, trembling fiercely, and seemed to spread all the impact to the surroundings.
