This Is Really Not Mechanical Ascension Chapter 1082

[ … words ]

“That’s right.” Abel nodded heavily, saying coldly, “Those guys who were suppressed before are now taking the opportunity to stir things up. Once my father has time, he’ll surely deal with them.”

This guy is still highly respectful of Adam, Li Ming couldn’t help but think.

Saying this, Abel then said, “If there’s any emergency with the High-level Life Form Union, I hope you can notify me. I am willing to pay some price.”

There’s no need to think to know that the people in the High-level Life Form Union are surely contacting each other in private, and the official X Level Life Forms will certainly be excluded.

Azure Dragon is still the Vice Chairman, so he must grasp the core trends.

Abel said with a sense of righteousness, “The Eternal Silence Star is a lost thing of the Empire. Whoever wants to touch it must be prepared to pay with their life.”

Hearing the other party’s subtle warning, Li Ming’s expression became solemn and he immediately said:

“We’re old friends, our relationship is so good. What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is the teacher’s. I will definitely do my best to maintain it, rest assured.”

Hearing him say this, the corner of Abel’s mouth twitched slightly; he already understood Li Ming as a person.

He didn’t expect Li Ming to guarantee anything; saying so was merely revealing to Li Ming that relevant information could be traded here, and that Adam’s attitude towards the Eternal Silence Star was resolute.

Whoever reaches out will have their hand cut off!

Having finished talking about this, Li Ming pondered for a while, then took the initiative and said, “Since Your Highness rarely contacts me, there are some questions I want to ask Your Highness.”

“Oh? Go ahead…” Abel’s face became serious; he was extremely eager for the remaining list in Li Ming’s hands.

But at present, there’s no information about Azure Dragon or Li Ming to exchange.

Li Ming taking the initiative to ask questions was more than welcome.

“What has the Heckler Prince been busy with recently? It seems he hasn’t taken any action against the Royal Court.” Li Ming seemed a bit puzzled.

Why do you seem a little impatient?

Abel remained silent, then pondered, “As far as I know, since last time, when Lord Azure Dragon stirred the Interstellar because of your kidnapping, Heckler stopped targeting the Mechanical Court.”

“There was previously frequent mention of the X Level Life Form that disappeared last time in the Mechanical Court, with demands for pressure to be applied. But since that time, no one has mentioned it again.”

“He probably doesn’t want to confront Lord Azure Dragon again.”

Backed off?

Li Ming was astonished, suddenly feeling inexplicably that while he had been cautious, Heckler actually backed off.

They had already invested two X Level Life Forms, yet retreated so decisively.

Li Ming did not feel relieved but instead grew more wary of Heckler.

A silent dog that bites, if he were like Ryan, he wouldn’t worry.

It’s just a matter of a hammer.

“…Recently, because his subordinates frequently failed, he even took personal action to find the chosen one to avoid various accidents…” Abel continued.

“He took personal action.” Li Ming was once again surprised, “Isn’t that like finding a needle in a haystack?”

“Indeed…” Abel couldn’t help but sigh, “Even with a preliminary screening list, the X Level Life Forms he can mobilize are not many, merely relying on luck.”

This really is a formidable guy. Sensing that Azure Dragon was bothersome, he withdrew.

Finding his subordinates’ actions were interfered with, he took personal action.

Li Ming’s eyes flickered, “Did he find them?”

“I don’t know, with my information channels I can only learn this much.” Abel pondered.

“No clue at all?” Li Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Give me the name of an Advanced member, and I can share some guesses.” Abel immediately offered, adding, “And it won’t be counted in the previous information price.”

“Alright.” Li Ming immediately nodded.

“I suspect he has probably returned.” Abel explained, “I don’t have specific intelligence on paper, but his people, compared to frequent movements before, have been very quiet recently.”

“I estimate it’s because some action has concluded, or perhaps his luck was really good, finding the target within just a year.”

“He found them…” Li Ming’s heart sank slightly, though it was only Abel’s guess, he had no qualms about considering the worst-case scenario.

Finding the chosen one, obtaining their bystander, Heckler could then lock onto the Holy Castle’s location through its pheromones.

Given the Empire’s measures, it’s hard to say whether something can be done.

He is not yet the master of the Holy Castle, and it can be foreseen that a long time is required to become its true master.

There’s still a possibility of being seized.

“However, this matter should have nothing to do with you.” Abel stared at him, “Inside the Empire, even if Lord Azure Dragon had ideas about the Holy Castle, it couldn’t be stopped, right?”

Li Ming made no response to Abel’s probing, merely taking out the list, “How many names does Your Highness think this information is worth?”

“Me?” Abel smiled, “What do you think?”

“I think, since we’re friends, consider this news a gift, except for the last piece of course.” Li Ming straightforwardly put away the list.

Seeing Abel’s stiff face, he laughed heartily and said, “Just kidding.”

After some negotiation, two Intermediate members and five Low Level members were finally confirmed for him.

“It turns out to be his wife…” Abel was most concerned about the Advanced members. Upon receiving the list, his expression changed, clearly quite surprised.

Li Ming reminded, “I’m still quite interested in news about Heckler. If there’s any new information, Your Highness can contact me at any time.”
