Chapter 555 Reactions from All Sides (1/2)
”What did you say! Dragon Emperor‽”
Degulish's eyes froze in place, and he gulped in shock. His chest also tightened as though he had just been struck by a hammer.
Twenty minutes prior, the spies left behind on Planet Aquamarine had sent an emergency report. The intel officer had then hurriedly searched for the current commander of the organization, Degulish, and reported this matter with a pale expression.
Ames had appeared on Planet Aquamarine!
The upper echelons of DarkStar were shocked.
The Dragon Emperor had always been neutral. For her to appear in the Garton Star System suddenly, did it mean that she wanted to enter the fray? No, this was not likely. It was more likely that it was Black Star, that b*stard, who had called Ames over. But why Planet Aquamarine?
After giving the matter much thought, Degulish still could not understand Ames' intentions.
After analyzing the matter for a while, he felt that this issue was filled with oddities. The other party had chosen to land on Planet Aquamarine, not the mother planet of Godora. It did not seem like she was there for DarkStar but on vacation.
”Black Star is the leader of Floating Dragon Island's armed forces, and I heard that he has been expanding recently. Perhaps Ames is here to check on her forces' development,” the intel officer said. ”This is the most likely possibility.”
Degulish nodded slowly and solemnly said, ”We cannot let our guard down. We have some grievances with the Dragon Emperor, and she could be a possible unknown in our plan. However, as long as we don't provoke her, she won't be able to do anything to us. Even if she is a beyond Grade A Super, that only refers to her personal strength. She won't be able to resolve the current situation.”
Saying that, Degulish let out a small sigh of relief. Previously, he had been frightened by Ames' reputation and instinctively felt that the matter was grave. But after thinking about it for a while, he realized that it actually was not a big issue.
So what if the Dragon Emperor could fight? They would just have to avoid facing her. Could her personal prowess resolve Godora's problems?
Even an expert like the Dragon Emperor would not be able to resolve the internal and external problems of Godora with her strength. She was just a single individual, and the vast universe would never be conquered by a single individual!
Degulish then began to ease, and after some thought, he instructed, ”Order the spies on Planet Aquamarine to observe Ames' actions. Make Planet Aquamarine a forbidden location for now; no one is to go near Planet Aquamarine.”
”Er, we didn't have any intentions to ambush Planet Aquamarine…” The intel officer was extremely helpless. The scene of their assault ships being destroyed by Black Star was still fresh in his memories. He would be a fool to send men over at this moment.
”Right, how is the progress of planting moles in the Black Star Mercenary Group?”
”I bribed some free mercenaries and asked them to apply to enter the Black Star Mercenary Group. Black Star Mercenary Group doesn't seem to hiring, but if he wants to expand, the moles that I bribed will have a chance to enter.
”As for bribing the members of the Black Star Mercenary Group, I haven't begun doing so. Without being certain of their backgrounds and having enough information, I wouldn't know which mercenary is the most likely to be bribed. I do not wish to alert them.”
Degulish's eyes glowed, and he laughed coldly. ”Very good. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. We will be able to infiltrate both the Black Star Mercenary Group and Floating Dragon Island.”
The meeting then continued. Regarding the threat of the Dragon Emperor, Degulish only informed his troops to leave Planet Aquamarine and did not give any other orders. He felt that those measures were sufficient. Even if Ames was powerful, she would not be able to affect the plan that they had designed over many years. The most important thing was for them to carry out their plans.
What Degulish did not know was that the situation had already changed.
He still thought that he had plenty of time… the whole of DarkStar still felt so.
…
The fleet escorting Nagakin had returned to Godora's mother planet. This was a large planet that was more than ten times the size of Planet Golden Gate. Tens of defensive satellites surrounded the planet, and the security was extremely tight.
As the spaceship landed, the officers of the War Bureau who had already received news were waiting by the dock. The moment Nagakin disembarked from the spaceship, they all walked over to welcome him.
”How's the item?”
”Perfectly fine.”
”Great, we don't have any time to waste. Head to the research department immediately.”
Nagakin walked toward the research facilities under the guard of a large number of troops and two other Calamity Grade Supers. The roads toward the research facility were completely locked down, and no one was allowed to pass. Even the leader of Godora did not have the authority to enjoy such a treatment.
Nagakin walked over to the research lab carefully and successfully handed the Mutation Source over to the researchers. They would research the antidote for the Mutation Source at a location with the highest possible security and confidentiality. A leak was absolutely not allowed to happen.
As the key personnel who facilitated the trade between Black Star and Godora, he was allowed to wait for the results of the test. After waiting for half a day in the waiting room, he finally received news about the initial tests on the Mutation Source.
This item was indeed the source of the Mutation Disaster!
With the sample that Nagakin had brought back, the speed of developing the antidote would be increased rapidly.
”That's great…” Nagakin could finally be at ease. He had been extremely worried that the sample that Han Xiao had handed to him was useless.
”Amazing job!” The War Bureau head slapped Nagakin on the back.
”I didn't do anything. It is all Black Star's contribution.” Nagakin laughed bitterly. He had never imagined that the key point to breaking them out of their current situation would actually be an outsider.
A bright smile could be seen on the head of the War Bureau's face, which was always solemn all year round. He was like a blooming chrysanthemum flower, be it in terms of shape or color.
”Indeed. Black Star has given us a huge surprise. I really never thought that a mercenary would be one to resolve our emergency.”
After pausing for a while, he then said in a solemn tone, ”This piece of news must be kept confidential, lest DarkStar comes up with another sinister scheme. It would be best if we can maintain the current situation.”
In order to deal with the numerous attacks of DarkStar, all the departments of Godora were busy to the point where they did not even have time to sleep. The sudden aid from Han Xiao had truly surprised the whole of Godora's upper echelons, and even the highest leader of Godora paid attention to Black Star and even wanted to personally thank him.
