Chapter 1577: Warning to Latecomers (First Update)
Mr. Qiao’s grandfather committed suicide - the kind that left a will.
He is only 220 years old, still in his prime, and his career is on the rise.
But he did commit suicide, and the will he left behind stated that he could not put together two magical weapons.
His only hope was that Digital Phantom would spare his family out of consideration for his good behavior.
A senior official actually ended his life in this way, and his death showed who was bringing him pressure.
The government really can’t sit idly by. When did Digital Phantom become so powerful?
However, it is quite difficult to find digital phantoms for investigation.
The only place where this team can be contacted directly is the Dawn Base located on a desolate planet in the Thorn Star Region.
However, this base is heavily guarded by the military, and it is not easy for the government to get close.
Some investigators carefully raised an objection: committing suicide for two magical instruments...it doesn't make sense logically.
Not only did the deceased hold a high position, he was also very wealthy. Theoretically speaking, it would not be difficult for him to obtain the two magical instruments.
Even if one magic weapon costs two trillion, five trillion is enough to buy two.
So, is there a reason for this person's death? Is it even possible that he is blaming Digital Phantom for his death?
Don’t think this speculation is outrageous. Even more outrageous things have happened in the history of the empire.
However, investigators soon learned accurate information from other channels: the deceased had really tried to buy a magical tool.
Unfortunately, no matter how much money he offered or how many promises he made, no one was willing to sell to him.
There are two main reasons: First, he offended the Digital Phantom, and selling him the magic weapon might annoy that team.
Secondly, magical instruments are not only in great demand in the current market, but the key is that if you need help from Digital Phantom, this thing is extremely useful.
If you accidentally offend this team without knowing it, this can be a life-saving thing.
So regardless of whether there are magical instruments or not, when faced with the deceased's request to buy them, the relevant people all say that they don't have such treasures at home.
Also, through the investigation of the deceased's property, it was discovered that the family's assets were... quite shocking.
The specific amount will be kept confidential.
After all, he had only worked in the Mining Management Department for a short time, but he had accumulated such a huge fortune. It would not sound good if it got out.
There is no doubt that the deceased did have enough financial resources, and if there really was a market for magical instruments, buying three would be no problem at all.
Not long after, Qu Jianlei also learned the news. He was a little confused: What exactly did Jing Yuexin do?
Since ancient times, the only difficult thing is death. What kind of pressure can force a senior official to commit suicide?
However, despite his doubts, he still chose to fully trust his teammates.
A day later, Jing Yuexin teleported back and told what she had done.
It turned out that after Master Qiao's family was wiped out, his grandfather discovered that it was an execution and realized that the matter was not over yet.
While he asked someone to contact Shui Xisheng to explain the situation, he also tried his best to contact Jing Yuexin and Duogan's people.
These two are the main members of Digital Phantom. If we can convince them, it should work.
After Jing Yuexin received the news, she directly sent back a message: Two magic weapons, no less!
And as Mr. Qiao's backer, his grandfather cannot be spared - Digital Phantom will definitely kill you!
The most important thing is to give him a dignified death, not an execution.
Jing Yuexin pointed out directly that Mr. Qiao’s behavior was too bad and Digital Phantom would not let him off easily.
In the final analysis, it is to set an example for those who come after us to learn from.
As a result, that person was decisive and committed suicide directly, and... did not hand over the magic weapon.
However, Jing Yuexin did not let it go and sent someone to notify the family of the deceased.
Even if the person is dead, the debt cannot be settled!
Considering that the person committed suicide and it is indeed difficult to collect the magic weapon, Jing Yuexin asked for a discount.
She gave the other party a month to deliver the 4 trillion to Shui Xisheng, and the matter was dropped.
Otherwise, the Digital Phantom will not let the other party go.
Jing Yuexin didn't think her request was excessive - if she had done something wrong, she couldn't just let it go with her death.
Moreover, the amount of money she requested did not empty the other party's family assets, so she was quite sensible in her actions.
Qu Jianlei did not have much objection to her decision.
He just said with a smile, "Fortunately you didn't drain his family's wealth, otherwise the government would have to deal with us."
Jing Yuexin replied nonchalantly, "I have to leave some for the other vultures."
When a whale dies, all creatures come to life. There are too many examples of this. When the pillar of a family falls, it will inevitably attract vultures to eat it.
If someone were involved in dealing with this family, the actions of the Digital Phantom would not be so conspicuous.
Moreover, after being besieged, it was basically impossible for this family to make a comeback.
Not to mention whether Digital Phantom would care about future revenge given his strength.
Even if the other family has a good candidate, they don't need to take action at all.
Those forces that participate in the division of profits will be suppressed.
Although Jing Yuexin's action this time was ruthless, she did take into account possible hidden dangers in the future.
Not long after, the family began to sell off various assets at a low price and spread the word that they were actively raising compensation.
In the eyes of ordinary imperial people, there is nothing more humiliating than the old man committing suicide and having to pay compensation to his enemies.
However, for most of the core eight-star dignitaries, bloodiness is really not worth mentioning.
After living a life of luxury for too long, people will naturally become afraid of death, and the core circle believes that those who know the times are heroes.
They also realized that after the old man's death, most of the family property would not be preserved.
But the same thing goes, if you can avoid death, who would be willing to die?
Even if there is a hot-blooded guy, he dare not act recklessly - a momentary impulse may cost the lives of the entire family.
The ultimate reason why the old man chose to commit suicide was to protect his family, wasn't it?
Moreover, even if they spent all their wealth, the little that was left would ensure that they lived a more comfortable life than most people.
So they chose to spread the news, which was considered as a complete admission of defeat, and to suppress Digital Phantom's subsequent actions from the public opinion perspective.
After learning the news, other forces that privately opened mines also knew what to do.
In the evening of that day, Supreme Kerry came to the Shui Group and asked to see the young master of the Shui family.
Shui Xisheng didn't have a good impression of this guy, but he was a supreme being after all, right? He still had to act like one.
This time, Kerry did not hesitate and said straight away that a force had entrusted him to discuss the matter of withdrawing from the mine.
The other party hopes to directly sell the shares of the mine and transfer them to Digital Phantom.
You can even refund all the energy stone mines that have been mined before, just to be let go.
As for the magic weapon? There really is none - the suicide of that person has already shown that this thing is too scarce and cannot be bought even if you want to.
Although Shui Xisheng had obtained authorization, he felt that he should still ask for instructions regarding the ownership of the energy stone mine.
After all, Digital Phantom's desire for energy blocks is well known.
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei said that his side did not want the energy stone mine - not that there was no shortage of it, but that it could not be obtained in this way.
Otherwise, what's the difference between them and those parasites that suck blood from the empire?
Qu Jianlei said that it was not that they did not pay taxes, but that the energy mines were originally discovered independently by their own company.
And they mined those energy stone mines for their own use.
As for the fact that they later got hold of some energy stone mines by accident, there were other reasons for that.
But the energy stone mine that the other party wants to hand over was obtained by digging into the corner of the empire, and we are unwilling to do such a thing.
After receiving this feedback, Kerry sighed helplessly and said, "Can I talk to that person directly?"
Shui Xisheng shook his head decisively, "Even if I want to see you, it all depends on your mood. I'd better go and prepare the magic weapon."
"Magic weapon..." Kerry smiled bitterly, "Did Young Master Shui ask about the question about Rhodiola?"
Shui Xisheng shook his head again, and then replied in a deep voice, "My responsibility is to filter out useless information. Please forgive me, sir."
He thought that there might be some reason for the name proposed by the other party, but this was not enough for him to report the information.
After all, the other party was still a bit mysterious. If he could explain the whole story, he would consider it comprehensively.
Kerry shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "This is a very important question."
Shui Xisheng didn't react at all, just looked at the other person indifferently.
"Well," Kerry sighed helplessly, "My client is not completely unrelated to Digital Phantom."
"Currently, Koros and Corona are working for my client."
"Koros, Corona?" Shui Xisheng frowned, "Who are these two?"
"Master Jing once rescued him," Kerry replied in a deep voice, "and worked under him for a period of time."
After all, he didn't dare to call Jing Yuexin's name directly.
"Is that so?" Shui Xisheng nodded thoughtfully. This news was indeed worth contacting the boss.
When Qu Jianlei heard these two names, he had some impression of them. The one-legged bronze man in the team came from this brother and sister.
He even remembered that Corona had a very rare poison attribute.
So he looked at Jing Yuexin, "Aren't these two brothers and sisters under your control?"
Jing Yuexin thought for a moment and answered, "They were both injured at the time, and they did it for a while afterwards."
"After that, I didn't pay attention... That sister has a poison attribute, right?"
Qu Jianlei didn't think that the brother and sister could be considered family. They just had some connection, so there was no need to consider it.
But the name Rhodiola rosea really involves some cause and effect.
He had no intention of picking up the vest again, but just said, "Ask the other party, why mention this name?"
Kerry replied, "I'll give you a name... Rhine! There's another term: asylum card!"
