Chapter 1037 - Gauds Headache (2/2)
Gaud smiled and accepted the passion of his comrades.
While the atmosphere was exciting, Gaud suddenly caught a glimpse of the news that was playing on the virtual screen on the bar’s war. His face quickly stiffened, and his smile disappeared.
His abnormal response surprised his comrades. They looked over following his sight and saw that the screen was playing the news about the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy being snatched away by Black Star.
“Yo, Black Star did something again.”
“Incredible, no wonder he’s the next pillar the dynasty has chosen.”
“A few years ago, when I accepted the changes of the Evolution Cube, I met him up close and almost could not stop myself from wanting to ask him for an autograph.”
“Luckily, he’s the dynasty’s ally instead of the federation or the church. It’s a blessing for the dynasty.”
The others could not help but start chatting about this topic. Everyone there admired the strong. Many of them were fans of the various Beyond Grade A dynasty allies, and a number of them were Black Star’s fans.
At this time, Gaud put down his glass, stood up with a poker face, and coldly said, “I have something to attend to. I’m heading off.”
Without waiting for the others to respond, he passed through the crowd and left the bar, leaving his many comrades confused and exchanging looks.
What’s going on? What happened?
Gaud left the bar, quickly returned to his room, took out his communicator, and contacted Bekorodi.
After it rang for quite a while, the other side finally picked up. Gaud instantly questioned, “You told me to wait for the good news—is this the good news you spoke of?”
Bekorodi stayed silent for a few seconds before finally slowly replying. “Black Star’s interference was unexpected. The Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy is indeed in his hands now.”
“So, what do you plan to do?” Gaud was expressionless.
“I’ll try to save this, see if we can exchange something for the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy.”
Gaud stayed silent and did not ask what was going to happen if that did not work.
The dynasty was willing to give the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy to him for him to make full use of his Esper Ability and help him become a Beyond Grade A sooner. Then, he would be able to analyze the principles of the Evolution Energy. Without the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy, the dynasty would still wait for him to slowly grow.
However, to Gaud, this meant that he had lost a powerful source of strength. Without the various special abilities of the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy, the specialized plan he had made for himself would be severely messed up, and he would not reach his strongest form.
This meant that his future maximum strength was directly reduced!
“Black Star won’t be able to use the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy himself. As long as we take out enough chips, he’ll be willing to exchange it. It’s not impossible. I…”
Bekorodi was still analyzing the situation when Gaud spoke and interrupted him.
“Let’s keep to that then. Notify me when there’s any progress.”
Then, Gaud hung up the call and frowned slightly.
He was in an extremely bad mood and did not bother wasting his time with Bekorodi. He knew that the chance of regaining the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was thin.
The dynasty would not overpay for a Primal Esper Ability Entity that was not completely necessary, and Black Star was a piece of sh*t who would never make a losing deal. From what he knew about these two sides, the odds of making the deal were infinitely close to zero.
Gaud shook his head and crossed out the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy in his mind.
With the power he had now, he had absolutely no way to interfere with the fight for the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy. The only way was to borrow the dynasty’s forces, and the dynasty had failed. Hence, he had no other options, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He had yet to fulfil his potential, while Black Star’s forces became stronger and stronger. Since the Primal Chaos Mysterious Energy was gone, he could only let it be. It was far from time to mess with Black Star.
“I thought that with the dynasty taking part, this would be in the bag, but you ruined it. Now, I have to adjust my growth plan… Tsk, Black Star, oh Black Star, you really give me a lot of trouble.”
Gaud was in a very bad mood.
…
Outside the remote communication room of the Modo Civilization’s Emerald Star Cluster stronghold, two soldiers who were stationed there were whispering.
“How long has it been since the commander and the inspector went in?”
“Probably almost an hour.”
“Looks like the Three Kings have summoned them. I wonder when they will come out…”
“Hey, the gate’s opening. Stand properly.”
The gate of the room slid open, the two guards quickly stood straight, stopped talking, and looked straight forward, acting diligent. However, their eyes uncontrollably shifted to glance at Commander Roddick and Inspector Lagos.
Roddick’s face looked like he was on the verge of exploding, while Lagos looked borderline depressed.
As the sacrifice of tens of Calamity Grade elites was completely meaningless, they had earned a thunderous scolding from the Three Kings of Modo, as well as their direct bosses. Their image among the upper echelons fell to rock-bottom.
Although he was just executing the mission given by the people above and the death of tens of Calamity Grades was not his fault, he could do nothing but take the blame. He was so furious that he had almost exploded.
Lagos had no way of comforting him. He asked hesitantly, “Our high-level combatants have suffered heavy losses. Like the Three Kings said earlier, that cannot occur. What do you plan to do?”
“It’s all because of Black Star!” Roddick clenched his fists tightly and said with rage, “If we continue to be this passive, Black Star will ruthlessly bite off our forces. Without solving this problem once and for all, similar things will keep happening.”
If we could stop Black Star, we would have… Lagos smiled bitterly with resignation and asked, “So, what idea do you have?”
“If we could kill Black Star…” Roddick was murmuring. He then turned around and immediately saw Lagos’s unamused expression, so he swallowed what he was going to say next. He thought about it and said, “By ourselves, there’s no way we can fight Black Star, so we can only borrow external forces. If we cause the Black Star Army a lot of trouble and make them have no time to deal with us, maybe we can mitigate the current situation.”
“For example?”
Roddick opened his mouth and felt helpless.
If something like this was so easy to think of, how could they have ended up in this situation? If they did not make some gigantic contributions, their promotion would probably never come.
