Chapter 39 (1/2)

After listening to the intelligence officer’s report, Sylvester Li picked his ears and said disdainfully, “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such a cold joke.”

“Baron Darkmoon wants to attack the direct descendants of the Sylvester family. I was worried that I wouldn’t have an excuse to cause trouble for the Ardent Fire Empire.”

“Don’t worry about the rest. According to the intelligence, the only suspect is Baron Darkmoon’s merchant group, right?”

The intelligence officer nodded slightly. “According to all the intelligence we have collected, we have analyzed it for a long time and have unanimously concluded that Lorne is dead. The probability of Thunder Flash sinking is the highest.”

“Under this premise, the probability of Baron Darkmoon’s Ninth merchant group and the local forces in the mining area finding the remains of Thunder Flash is the highest.”

“It’s also possible that the local forces found the remains of Thunder Flash and handed it over to Toya.”

“After all, the Ninth merchant group is closer to the Baron Darkmoon, so they can get more resources. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that Sylvester Dan and Sylvester Da got their hands on it first.”

Sylvester Li waved his hand. “We don’t need to think about Dan. If that guy really got something, he would definitely come to me to show off and provoke me. It’s impossible for him to be so quiet. I can also rule out Da. I’ve someone by his side. I know everything.”

“As for the local forces in the mining area, although they don’t have a Spark battleship, we have to be on guard. Spend some money to buy a few core members and ask around. I need more specific information, not your speculation. The money I gave you is for work, not for your own use.”

Cold sweat broke out on the intelligence officer’s forehead, and he did not dare to refute.

Upon seeing that he was so nervous, Sylvester Li did not continue to question him. He knew that the intelligence office had embezzled a small amount of money, but he did not care. If Li was satisfied with his work, then the money would be considered as a bonus.

However, at this critical moment, he still dared to give Li vague answers. Li should give him a beating, right?

If he still did not wake up after this beating, or if he still could not satisfy Li, then there would not be a next time.

“Are you sure that there is really a high-quality module?”

The intelligence officer’s body trembled, and he quickly nodded. “That’s right. Through some special methods, we verified several members of the Ninth merchant group. The conclusion we came to is that there is indeed a high-quality module.”

“It’s just that we haven’t seen the real thing, so we can’t be sure whether it is from the Thunder Flash.”

Sylvester Li grinned. “Good, at least you guys are still useful. No matter where the high-quality module is, as long as it’s there, it’s mine.”

“This mission is led by Dan. If the mission fails, he has to take responsibility. We’re here to rob him. It doesn’t matter if it works or not.”

“You guys start analyzing the intelligence and get the combat department to prepare. Give me a battle plan for the merchant group tonight.”

The intelligence officer reminded him nervously, “Commander, Baron Darkmoon is a local force. He can call for reinforcements at any time and ask for the help of the space fortress and patrol fleet. The escort force he brings is not weak either. The probability of our battleship achieving the desired result is too low.”

Sylvester Li’s face instantly darkened. He was very unhappy. “How can a mere local force call for reinforcements?”

“The space fortress is a little troublesome, but you guys won’t find a place further away. Are you just perfunctorily doing it?”

“After we succeed, we’ll directly leave the Ardent Fire Empire and return to the the Sylvester galaxy. Do we still need to care about the consequences? What kind of protection will the merchant group deploy in their own territory?”

“This mission is led by Dan. Right now, he’s the one who’s in a hurry. Won’t you guys consider him and use him to lead the charge?”
