Chapter 85 Red Star
In the office that once belonged to Liao Shanhe.
Alkaid closed his eyes, quietly feeling the memories about this King of Dayu contained within the Soul Capturing Orb in his hand.
These memories...
were not of much value.
The only thing that somewhat puzzled him was Liao Shanhe's fear of the Rebirth Society.
It was exaggerated.
So exaggerated that if the Rebirth Society merely expressed a willingness to take them on as dogs, they would almost wish to agree instantly and be overjoyed by it.
Therefore...
"Who exactly in the Red Star is behind the Rebirth Society, to the extent that they fear them like this?"
Alkaid reopened his eyes.
He also thought about the humorous nickname circulated outside concerning the racial hierarchy in Dayu Country.
First-class Red Star, second-class Royal Family, third-class Noble Families.
The status of an ordinary inhabitant of Red Star was above that of the Royal Family.
Three years ago, in the military base of Red Star in Dayu Country, a Red Star soldier had raped a university student in the capital, causing public outrage, with countless people protesting at the military base.
As a result...
The Royal Family of Dayu bore the domestic pressure and let the Red Star take the soldier back home, and the matter was dropped.
Thus, it was not so much that the Liao Family feared the Rebirth Society as they feared the Red Star Empire.
The current world leader, its influence and deterrent power, reflected in all aspects.
Moreover, if Xia Wuyuan's investigation was true, in the eyes of the Red Star nobility...
Apart from themselves and Snow Dragon, all others are merely materials, natives, monkeys, and not to be regarded as the same kind.
"Ding."
A light sound interrupted Alkaid's contemplation.
"Young master, the Family Head has arrived, and he has brought Martial Saint Zong Yan with him..."
Lei Yun's voice came from the instrument on the desk.
"Bring them here."
Alkaid ordered.
"Yes."
Lei Yun replied.
Shortly after, she led a group from the Su Family, headed by Su Chiming, into the office.
Looking at the office he had once seen on television, Su Chiming seemed bewildered.
And those behind him, Su Chixin and Su Huaigu, were no better off, their gazes...
all had a somnambulant quality.
"Alkaid... this Royal Palace..."
Su Chiming opened his mouth, but his tone carried a hint of uncertainty.
Obviously...
This was something he couldn't have imagined on an ordinary day.
"Yes, if there's nothing particularly important from the Bu Zhou Group's side, let's put it aside for now and focus on the matters here."
Alkaid said.
Su Chiming listened, still somewhat nervous.
This matter...
had truly completely exceeded his expectations and capabilities.
It took several seconds for Su Chiming to take a deep breath, "I need time to adjust."
"Yue Nanxing himself will come to assist you with the trivial matters, and besides, there will also be a professional team of assistants to formulate strategies for you. If you need any talent, you can recruit them yourself, or you may borrow from other families if necessary, although relying on talents from other families is not a long-term solution. You best grow quickly."
Alkaid said.
"I understand."
Su Chiming, after all, was a figure who had fought through the fierce business environment of Tian Nan with the Bu Zhou Group, far surpassing ordinary folks in terms of poise.
"That is suspecting guilt where there is none."
Zong Yan said with a bitter smile.
Alkaid did not continue on this topic and changed the subject, "Then what about the great destruction?"
"Perhaps, it's some kind of historical pattern," Zong Yan said. "Humans are inherently a species with a strong desire for destruction. When they possess world-annihilating power and it's in the hands of extremists, they can easily destroy themselves."
He looked at Alkaid, "Hasn't the nuclear annihilation theory been debated for decades? Many experts have said that if Snow Dragon and Red Star were to erupt in an all-out war, the whole world would be sent back to the Stone Age... Maybe it was the same a thousand years ago."
"You also can't provide a reasonable explanation, so I need the Rebirth Society's resources to thoroughly investigate whether the information is true, and whether we are being corralled without our knowledge."
Alkaid looked at him, "You should have heard the term 'Artifact Nurturing Realm.'"
"Hmm."
Zong Yan acknowledged.
Due to the existence of Immortal Soldier Demon Weapons, this term has been mentioned more than once and, just as Alkaid said, it is believed that all beings are mere materials for forging Immortal Soldier Demon Weapons.
But...
"I will convey this matter to the President and ask him to leverage the full intelligence capabilities of the Rebirth Society to investigate urgently and provide you with a reasonable response," Zong Yan said seriously.
As he spoke, he glanced at Alkaid, "This time... you've attracted too much attention. It won't be long before the people from Red Star come to recruit you. If you agree, fine, but if not, they will have perfect reasoning to retaliate against you."
Alkaid knew what his reasons were.
Revenge for the Liao Family.
"There's no use talking further about the matter now."
Alkaid remained calm.
Now, he had stepped from behind the scenes to the forefront.
When soldiers come, block the water and cover the earth."
Zong Yan nodded, "Regardless, we stand with you."
Having said what needed to be said, whether he could remain now depended on Alkaid's final decision.
Things were different now.
A few days ago, joining Alkaid's logistics team would have been like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
But now...
With the nine major families of Dayu Country surrounding him, if he wished, he wasn't lacking in professional logistics teams.
Alkaid noticed his apprehension.
Considering Zong Yan's initial intent...
Lead the countries to break free from Red Star's domination!
A higher purpose...
To visit the grand and sacred place of his dreams—the Artifact Sect—even if not as a disciple of the Artifact Sect.
And these goals did not conflict with what he needed to accomplish.
Right then, Alkaid smiled, "You can prepare to start work."
Upon hearing this, a smile also appeared on Zong Yan's face.
"I will do my utmost to build an elite logistics team for you," he said seriously.
Alkaid nodded.
Zong Yan, having achieved Martial Saint status for many years, had experience that even Kong Fang could not compare with.
...
In the following days, Alkaid was stationed in the Royal Palace, practicing his cultivation while handling the major and minor issues of the capital.
The personnel from the Su Family infiltrated the important positions in the capital at an extremely fast pace.
These positions had originally been held by people from the Liao Family, and the Su Family filled them one by one.
Only in times of need do you realize the scarcity of resources.
Although the Su Family had been preparing to elevate to the ranks of noble families for the past ten years, the reserve of talents across various sectors could still not match that of true noble families. The inadequacy of capacities brought about significant chaos.
Fortunately, fearing that Alkaid might throw in the towel, the nine major noble families promptly sent professionals to assist the Su Family in controlling the situation, along with substantial efforts from Kong Fang to maintain order. This prevented the chaos from affecting the normal operations of the capital and the surrounding cities.
Half a month later, the situation in the capital gradually stabilized,
Just as Alkaid was considering whether to move to Emperor Yu's Mountain, eighty miles away, to take advantage of the better ley lines there for secluded cultivation, Yue Xingzhou hurriedly appeared in the villa where Alkaid was practicing.
"Speaker, Major General Shangguan Xiong from Red Star's Dayu base has sent a message asking you to come to the Mount Yu base to explain the matter of the Liao Family," he said.
