CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108: IRRECONCILABLE VENGEANCE FOR MY STOLEN SISTER!

Second Master.

The black market owner with countless information networks.

After receiving the news, Second Master reorganized the entire development of the matter.

These developments, seemingly coincidental yet normal, were invisibly driven by a large hand.

This forced him to suspect something.

Of course, more importantly, both he and Lu Shinian believed that the energy stones with near-zero impurity content were artificially lowered, rather than naturally produced from the veins as they appear now.

If they could be generated from the veins, why weren’t they produced earlier and only now generate the so-called Pure Energy Stones?

In the study, Su Heyuan tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, his face thoughtful.

Across from him, Ji Bai couldn’t help but ask, "Second Master, is there something wrong?"

Su Heyuan looked up at Ji Bai and sighed again, "If only you were half as smart as Ye Qing."

Ji Bai: ...

"Second Master, that’s too much."

"Although I’m not as smart as Ye Qing, I can fight better than him! Ye Qing’s weakling, knocked out in one punch."

This is indeed true.

Given Ye Qing’s physical strength, any adult man could easily knock him down.

Su Heyuan reluctantly accepted such a saying and asked, "What about the thing I asked you to investigate?"

"It’s been investigated." Ji Bai quickly replied matter-of-factly, "The impurity content in energy stones produced from major veins is indeed getting higher and higher."

"It’s said that this situation started a year ago, but in the past month, it has gotten worse."

"At this rate, in less than ten years, the impurity content in energy stones from all veins will exceed ninety percent."

With ninety percent impurity content, even ordinary people with a spiritual power level of E will be somewhat affected, unable to focus on the basics, let alone the series of reactions that high spiritual power users will experience.

If this situation isn’t alleviated, even without the Insect Race, the Federation Empire is in grave danger.

After reporting this situation, Ji Bai sighed, "The appearance of the Pure Energy Stone at this time is truly a hope and opportunity."

"The heavens have not abandoned the Federation!"

Compared to Ji Bai, Su Heyuan clearly thought more profoundly.

The appearance of Pure Energy Stones at such a time, if artificial, firstly provides high spiritual power users with some hope and stabilizes military morale.

Secondly, it provides ordinary people with a perspective that the supposed absolute transfer between energy stones due to the appearance of Pure Energy Stones makes the increasing impurity content of current energy stones normal, thereby not inciting panic.

It’s a win-win, no, perhaps a triple win.

No matter who is behind this push, they cannot be underestimated.

Su Heyuan contemplated for a moment, and instructed, "Issue orders and disclose to the mid-to-high level personnel that the appearance of Pure Energy Stones is linked to the increasing impurity content of energy stones."

"Vigorously purchase Pure Energy Stones. If necessary, purchase veins with extremely high impurity content."

...

After issuing several orders in succession, Su Heyuan turned to Ji Bai and asked, "Understood?"

Ji Bai stood upright, with rare seriousness on his face, replied, "Understood!"

"Hmm." Su Heyuan responded indifferently, "And one more thing, has your sister and Lu Shinian returned to Central Star?"

Upon mentioning this, Ji Bai returned to his usual mischievous demeanor, chuckled and said, "Not yet."

"Second Master, could it be that they’re here on Star River Star for a honeymoon?"

"Isn’t it the festival time on Star River Star recently? Everywhere is so romantic, the couple is probably staying for a while longer."

"And Star River Star is close to Central Star, you know, just in case, if Your Majesty summons Commander Lu, haha, it won’t even take half a day to get there."

...

Su Heyuan’s mouth twitched, "Honeymoon?"

"Yep." Ji Bai chuckled, "They’re so sweet together."

"I think Lu Shinian didn’t have much time for a honeymoon." Su Heyuan sneered, "Once the Pure Energy Stone incident unfolds, let’s see how carefree he will be!"

Since he’s on a honeymoon with her sister, haha.

"Second Master, do you think the Pure Energy Stone incident is orchestrated by Commander Lu?" Ji Bai casually asked.

"Impossible." Su Heyuan swiftly denied.

Ji Bai thought for a moment and agreed, "If Commander Lu had discovered the Pure Energy Stones first, he would have kept it tightly under wraps, secretly acquiring them, given how common the reversion phenomenon is in the Third Legion."

"I heard recently that someone has completely beastified and been sent to..."

Ji Bai dared not utter those last few words.

Su Heyuan shot a warning glance at Ji Bai, "Lu Shinian isn’t selfless enough to do something like this."

Publicizing the Pure Energy Stone matter would not benefit him.

"The motives of the person behind the scenes aren’t clear for now. In any case, we should try our best to cooperate with them. If we can maintain a good relationship, it would be a great assistance to us."

Ji Bai nodded repeatedly, "Then, Second Master, I’ll go convey your orders."

Su Heyuan replied with a "Hmm".

Ji Bai soon left, leaving only Su Heyuan in the study.

He activated the privacy mode in the study, looking at the light brain and whispered: [Xiao Si.]

[Master, I’m here~] Xiao Si’s voice echoed in Su Heyuan’s ears.

Su Heyuan’s expression remained unchanged, only lowering his voice further.

[Any news about the Third Brother?]

Xiao Si paused unexpectedly and replied earnestly: [Master, no. Should I investigate it?]

Su Heyuan’s eyes flickered slightly, [No need.]

[If he wants to contact us, he’ll definitely reach out.]

Xiao Si promptly replied: [Alright, Master, I have something else to tell you, Little Seven has awakened.]

Su Heyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a rare trace of surprise in his eyes, [You’re saying 007?]

[Yes.] Xiao Si replied, [I’ve captured some information from Little Seven, only tracking it to Central Star, but can’t pinpoint its exact location.]

[Hmm, no need to rush 007’s matters for now.] Su Heyuan lowered his eyes slightly, [Let’s wait and see.]

[Alright~] Xiao Si returned to his usual tone, [Master, anything else?]

[Lower my confidentiality level to S-Class.] Su Heyuan ordered, [Then you may stand down.]

A few seconds later, Xiao Si: [It’s adjusted~ Going to play~]

After that, Xiao Si was completely silent.

Su Heyuan no longer paid attention to this often idle Xiao Si like Ji Bai and continued to focus on his own matters.

A few minutes later, the study was filled with a mocking laugh.

"Coming for a honeymoon."

Haha.

Lu Shinian, that bastard, vengeance for sister stealing, irreconcilable!
