CHAPTER 1059: CHAPTER 68: NEW INTELLIGENCE

After the mysterious master of the Six Dragons Sect launched a surprise attack on local residents, rumors of uncertain truth began to circulate within Space City Chaldea.

Someone is hunting the Six Dragons Sect.

For the government, the Six Dragons Sect is like a fungus growing unchecked. In the long past, the government never paid this force any direct attention, which led to their downfall. However, now with the involvement of the Twelfth Martial God, the government is forced to take it seriously.

But actually, there have been people covertly dealing with these ruthless individuals who act with no regard for boundaries for some time.

According to reliable sources, this mysterious force hunting the Six Dragons Sect is a duo. They possess considerable martial power and have extensive experience in dealing with the Six Dragons Sect. It’s just that they are still young, so they have not directly appeared before the Six Dragons Sect.

Therefore...

Those who have enmity with the Six Dragons Sect are in luck because they now have a shortcut for dealing with this mysterious organization.

In recent days, this duo hunting the Six Dragons Sect has become a hot topic.

Intelligence indicates that this duo is not local and that they have just heard the news and come from elsewhere.

All those who have recently arrived in Chaldea are under the scrutinous gaze of the city administrators.

Many have claimed online to be this "Hunter."

Simultaneously, voices claiming that the "Hunter is just a kind of internet scam" have also emerged.

Many people have claimed they were deceived by so-called Six Dragons Sect hunters and lost substantial property.

In this era, conducting internet scams might lead to life danger. Indeed, in recent days, it has been noted that someone has inexplicably burst into flames near signal stations.

Perhaps the internet scam is real.

Jin sighed slightly at this: "You all are playing quite a grand game."

Asgard, sitting opposite, said, "Without playing big like this, we might never catch the tail of the Six Dragons Sect. It has to be grander."

With this information’s dissemination, various true and false "hunters of the Six Dragons Sect" started appearing in the cyber world.

Because the assassins of the Six Dragons Sect brazenly attacked and almost entirely annihilated a civilian intelligence organization, the local intelligence agencies have mostly retreated. They dare not act before reinforcing their defense.

However, civilian detectives, self-media operators, and similar roles remain undeterred. For them, the retreat of organized peers means an opportunity to seize fame and fortune.

Moreover, they possess a gambler’s mindset.

A master capable of wiping out a small organization must be very busy and might not personally deal with them. Killing them one by one would be too inefficient.

And these individuals provided Jeanne and Asgard with opportunities.

These two genuine hunters of the Six Dragons Sect hidden among those using their name journeyed around for investigations.

Many people, who were involved with the clinical trials of the Six Dragons Sect and were anxious, also rushed to find these hunters online as if clutching a lifeline.

Asgard asked: "What is the current situation of the medicine market now?"

"Don’t mention it." Jin sighed, "Just in the past few days, I’ve killed two fools who came to the Hermo Association under the pretense of ’striking against the Six Dragons Sect’ to fish in troubled waters... The medicine market is very chaotic now. Several shops, whether connected with the Six Dragons Sect or deciding to avoid trouble, are not open. Prices of medicines needed for practicing skills are all rising... Of course, the shopkeepers also suspect that some merchants are intentionally stirring up panic to drive up prices."

"Ah, windfall profits."

"Those big figures above aren’t very fond of windfall profits." Jin shrugged, "They feel that a chaotic market can’t sustain even big quick money for long... Anyway, other old friends helped you gather this data."

Jin passed Asgard a document.

That was a list of recently erratic-moving medicine merchants.

For outsiders like Jeanne and Asgard, gathering this kind of information wasn’t easy. But with Hermo Association’s industry connections, this information could be sorted from their routine intelligence gathering.

Asgard understood that this wasn’t something her old colleagues could obtain through personal connections alone.

Probably, it’s the higher chamber of commerce releasing a bit of goodwill to them. At this juncture, anyone willing to stand against the Six Dragons Sect is worth pulling in.

Moreover, Jeanne and Asgard’s martial arts are quite formidable.

Asgard nodded: "Thanks... It feels awkward to take this intelligence for free. Is there anything I can help with?"

Jin pondered his words, saying: "Being able to quell the disturbances brought by the Six Dragons Sect as soon as possible would be the best."

It was "quell disturbances" instead of "expel."

Asgard understood.

"Tsk tsk, since it’s the former boss’s meaning... Is there anything noteworthy lately?"

"The Hero troops laid trick mines on the must-pass route for King of Godspeed’s court, causing King of Godspeed’s court to slow down and change course... and there are some war news from beyond the asteroid belt." Jin shrugged: "I suppose you all aren’t concerned."

The Zodiac Plane maximizes the use of the Solar System’s gravity, which can save massive energy. The relatively rich celestial bodies on the Zodiac Plane can also serve as cover, increasing the difficulty of ultra-long-range space sniping.

However, on the other hand, the numerous small celestial bodies on the Zodiac Plane are very dangerous for high-speed moving spacecraft.

"Lightspeed Highway" routes like this require regular clearing of small celestial bodies to ensure smooth navigation.

The government will spend substantial resources maintaining the Lightspeed Highway.

For the Hero, whose fleet power always lags, "blocking parts of the Lightspeed Highway" is the normal choice.

After all...

The Hero hasn’t controlled terrestrial planets. The celestial bodies where metal minerals mining is easiest are all in the government’s hands.

Asgard muttered: "Indeed, this information is meaningless. I can’t think of anyone who cares about this."

"When King of Godspeed’s Court passed near Space City, the big figures above were quite tense."

"Pah. That’s because they don’t know better." Asgard said, "King of Godspeed is famously indifferent. If the government’s martial power gets into trouble near King of Godspeed’s court, you can’t expect any help from King of Godspeed’s side. If they’re in a good mood, they might encounter a Swift Army officer..."

"But King of Godspeed also has records of participating in battles against Martial Gods." Jin said.

"All right, I get it." Asgard waved her hand, preparing to leave this Hermo Association warehouse, "I’m leaving."

At this point, she received Jeanne’s notification: "Come out from gate C. A member of the Six Dragons Sect just passed through gate B of your warehouse area."
