Chapter 439: Prediction
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It must be said that earning money had become a most difficult problem for Ye Chong right now. He was not ready with a solution for the problem, and could only wait for Mu, Shang and the others to arrive in the meantime.
Right now, he focused mostly on monitoring the area with spatial instability. Since they had no specialized devices to measure spatial stability, they could only use the simplest method of having patrol units monitor the area at all times.
Ye Chong had been there himself, but since he did not have any specialized measurement device with him, he could not find warning before the instability onset.
Planet Yi Ju's external communications were now under the control of the Papatte Mech Squad, and this was largely thanks to Zhang Yu. Communications between the other planets and Yi Ju were severed, and Yi Ju became isolated.
Due to the lack of natural resources, Yi Ju had never been under the scrutiny of the Three Aristocratic Families. This was a planet that even pirates would not care to plunder from.
Aside from that, the Three Aristocratic Families themselves were fully occupied. In fact, there were seven areas with spatial instability in the He Yue Galaxy. The Three Aristocratic Families had four within their territories. The Ye Family had one, and so did the Xue Lai Clan. The Xi Feng Tribe was unfortunate enough to have two within their territory. The other three areas with spatial instability were scattered around the He Yue Galaxy, and one of them was near Yi Ju.
The Three Aristocratic Families were now fully prepared for war. The Xi Feng Tribe had reacted the strongest, gathering nearly all their military personnel back to headquarters for defense. The war strategies deployed by the Three Aristocratic Families had alerted the entire He Yue Galaxy instantly. The Three Aristocratic Families had kept the incident at the Gateways under wraps, so the outside world had no idea of the terrible war that they had just survived. Hence, the rumor mill began to churn out all kinds of theories. None of the Families spoke up. They offered no explanation of their behavior.
”Have you figured out what happened?” Xiao Wan stared at the man in front of her, asking with a stern voice. A black and smooth damask wrapped around her silhouette, showing her perfect curves. She had a silent quality about her that spelled power. The woman was like a black colored lily in full bloom, invoking a sense of dignity and elegance.
The middle aged man before her answered respectfully, ”Not yet. The Three Aristocratic Families kept a tight lid on things. We have yet to uncover any useful intel.” The man's looks were not look particularly outstanding, but his peaceful expression was soothing. His hands were huge and strong, covered with old calluses. It was Gray Valley's elite, Bei Guang.
Beside Bei Guang was a younger man in a simple outfit. He had thick eyebrows, and his shoulders were wide. His short hair was as rigid as steel rods. A short stubble made him look even more manly.
Xiao Wan turned to the younger man and asked, ”Arwa, what do you think?”
The down-to-earth looking man was Gray Valley's famous genius tactician, Arwa!
Arwa pondered silently for a while before replying, ”Recent activities of the Three Aristocratic Families are indeed strange. From their latest overall military formation, they are probably not trying to start a war with us, but defending themselves against someone else. Right now, we know nothing about their situation, and it's hard to figure out the truth behind their actions.”
Xiao Wan turned on the photon processor in the room. Her fair and slender fingers pointed elegantly on the image that was projected onto the holographic screen. ”This just came in from the Research Consortium. There's something interesting in the report, you can have a look at them.” Xiao Wan smiled gently and invited them to view the report.
Bei Guang and Arwa exchanged glances. Interesting? The Young Miss rarely described anything as ”interesting”. The two of them quickly turned their attention towards the report.
The report was done professionally, but also in a straightforward manner. They finished reading the report quickly. After they were done with the report, they looked to each other again and noticed the fear in each other's eyes.
”In this report, areas seen with spatial instability in the He Yue Galaxy were identified. Coincidentally, four of these areas are where the Three Aristocratic Families have concentrated their forces. For now, we do not know if this is purely coincidental or otherwise. Unfortunately, Gray Valley also has an area with spatial instability.
By then, Xiao Wan was no longer smiling. The other two men also looked grim. They had finished the report. They had also noticed the coincidence that the Young Miss spoke of.
