Chapter 40 (2/2)

After communicating with Da, Dan’s mood was much better. He finally understood something.

Even if the spoils of war were all taken by Li, he had to protect them. If he could not protect them, Dan would just snatch them from Li?

The next morning, after the news was verified, Dan took the initiative to cooperate with Li. Both sides began to cruise around the mining planet.

Da’s assault ship, after its identity was verified, landed on the mining planet.

Lin Dong did not know much about the cooperation between Dan and Li.

In order to hide himself, the Black Dragon had always remained silent and hid within the asteroid belt.

However, the news had already been released. Lin Dong had a deep understanding of the character of the Sylvester family’s disciples. Hence, he could roughly guess the possible course of action that they might take.

He did not need to know all of their movements.

All he needed to do was to pay attention to Toya’s whereabouts and which location was the best place to ambush.

In the mining planet, once the Toya’s merchant group encountered an attack that they were unable to defend against, they would choose to approach the mining planet and obtain the help of the space fortress and patrol fleet. After all, they were on the same side.

If the Sylvester family wanted to make a move, they would definitely find a spot near the mining planet in order to prevent them from running back to seek help.

The mining area was relatively remote and there was a large uninhabited area nearby. There were quite a number of suitable locations for a sneak attack.

As for the local forces in the mining area.

Lin Dong would not be like Li who did not mind them at all.

The local forces were not strong enough. They would not even be able to take out a single Spark battleship.

However, Lin Dong would never underestimate them.

Just like the reward given by Li, the local forces had to join in as well.

Based on the information that Li had obtained at a high price, the local forces could easily obtain the same amount of information.

Under such circumstances, when the Sylvester family’s battleship attacked the Ninth merchant group, these people would not mind taking a bite out of it. Even if they were in the Baron Darkmoon’s territory, if they did not like Baron Darkmoon, they could go against him.

This was a variable and there might be accidents. Lin Dong, who was planning to take advantage of the chaos, needed to pay more attention to it.

Lin Dong did not need to personally take action on Toya’s whereabouts.

By maintaining contact with Zhao Yan, he could easily obtain Toya’s whereabouts.

Over the past few days, Zhao Yan had inquired from many sources and verified the authenticity of Lin Dong’s previous information.

There were many shady acts regarding the reserve of talents in the Baron Darkmoon’s territory. However, the truth was only circulated among the higher-ups.

Some talents did stand out, but there were also quite a number of beautiful women who entered Baron Darkmoon’s territory after becoming reserve talents. After that, there was no news at all.

With Zhao Yan’s ability, she could pass the assessment easily.

However, her appearance and figure were destined to not be able to avoid the covetous eyes of Baron Darkmoon’s 3rd son.

Unless she was willing to sacrifice herself for free, but it would not work.

Zhao Yan had been using her own channels these few days to contact Luo Fei, Ding Ling, and the others to create trouble for Toya. She succeeded in raising the purchase price of Toya by 25%, and their relationship broke down.

This series of actions not only created trouble for Toya, but Zhao Yan’s relationship with Ding Ling and the others was somewhat different from before.

Toya negotiated the deal with a dejected face. After 5 days, he would deliver the goods, leave the mining area, and return to the central city in Baron Darkmoon’s territory.
