Chapter 36 (1/2)
Just as Lin Dong was about to leave with Ding Ling, she tugged at the corner of his shirt from behind, hinting for him to slow down.
When Ding Ling saw Lin Dong slowing down, she stepped forward and whispered, “Yesterday, my father invited a few of the mining company’s bosses to have a meal together. According to him, another Spark battleship and an assault ship have arrived near the mining planet. Furthermore, it doesn’t seem like a battleship from the Ardent Fire Empire. The ships have just arrived in the past few days.”
“They are circling the surrounding area as if they are looking for something. The patrol fleet stationed on the mining planet has already entered a high alert state and has requested for Baron Darkmoon’s assistance.”
“If you don’t need to work this period of time, don’t go out there. If you really need to go there, you should also pay attention to your safety.”
Lin Dong’s heart jumped as he nodded his head solemnly.
He returned home not long after. Since Lin Dong did not follow the path of his previous life, Sylvester Dan was still alive up for sure.
On one hand, Lin Dong was unable to defeat him in a head-on fight. On the other hand, he could easily expose his identity as an interstellar miner if he tried to play tricks.
On the other hand, he wanted to keep a low profile in order to avoid attracting even more troubles.
Dan’s ability was average. With Lin Dong’s current ability, it would be very easy for him to deal with Dan.
However, the forces sent by the Sylvester family later could not be underestimated.
In his previous life, in order to disarm the Nano-bomb robot, Lin Dong had used the celestial environment of the mining area to set up a trap and killed Dan. The next opponents were Sylvester Li and Sylvester Da.
Among them, Li was a legitimate direct descendant of the Sylvester family. Although his abilities were average, the most important thing was that his family background gave him the confidence to act without restraint. Furthermore, he was not afraid of offending anyone.
Although Dan was also a direct descendant, he would weigh the pros and cons to avoid offending anyone.
When faced with the Baron Darkmoon’s forces, he would try to seek cooperation and would not attack the mining planet recklessly.
However, Li would not care about the mining planet and Baron Darkmoon’s forces.
In his previous life, Lin Dong was discovered because he was not careful enough. Hence, he was targeted by them because he was suspicious.
Li guessed that Lin Dong was a miner. As he was familiar with the environment, it was very likely that Lin Dong had hidden the Thunder Flash within the mining area. He did not care about being in a foreign country, nor did he give any respect to Baron Darkmoon and the Ardent Fire Empire. Instead, Li gave the order to go all out. They bombarded the mining area of the asteroid belt in an attempt to force the Thunder Flash out.
His actions caused the mining area to shift its celestial body, causing the environment to become chaotic, causing the deaths of hundreds of interstellar miners.
As for the patrol fleet on the mining area, they took the initiative to attack. With the powerful combat power of the LV12 Spark battleship, Li destroyed the patrol fleet in an instant..
After that, Li even threatened to blow up the mining area if the Thunder Flash did not come out.
He did not have any scruples and dared to attack anyone he saw.
Li was quite a headache.
Lin Dong another enemy was Sylvester Da. He was only a branch member of the Sylvester family. He did not pilot the Spark battleship, and he was only piloting an ordinary assault ship.
However, Sylvester Da was quick-witted and was able to deduce a lot of information from the details. Lin Dong’s mining identity was determined by him.
There were a huge conflict between Sylvester Da and Sylvester Li. However, if the 2 of them worked together, Lin Dong would not have been able to escape for 10 years. It was likely that he would have been killed within a month.
Ding Ling’s news was very timely.
From this aspect, it could be seen that Lin Dong’s initial plan had failed. He actually attracted more troubles
Before Dan died, Li and Da had already arrived.
The fierce competition within the Sylvester family was indeed well-deserved.
However, Lin Dong did not panic.
On his way to inherit the Thunder Flash, he had already made a plan for himself. It was all based on the worst-case scenario, in case something unexpected happened, and he did not know how to deal with it.
The arrival of Li and Da was naturally part of his plan. Therefore, he would not panic.
Lin Dong had only renamed and repaired Lorne’s Thunder Flash.
He had yet to fight anyone from the Sylvester family, nor had he met them.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy for the Sylvester family to lock onto a target like Lin Dong, an interstellar miner.
