Chapter 125

Wasteland Planet
"Captain, the dungeon was deserted by the time we arrived. We only recovered the bodies of Hei Chi and several of our other agents. Furthermore, we found a letter in the dungeon. It was for you."
Shi Yi's expression was grim. Behind him were a series of single frames covered by white cloth. Their undercover agents had been in trouble for a while, and many mission teams had been attacked. At first, they thought it was just the other two families causing trouble, but... this time, it was clear someone else was behind it.
Shi Yi didn't say anything else, but took out the letter and handed it to Yin Jiuyuan.
After Yin Jiuyuan opened the letter, he read it silently, his expression showing no emotion. Then, he handed the letter to Liao Shitang next to him.
"Pah... A Yuan, it's Huo Qi Rex!! This damn guy must not have gone far. I'm going to find him and I'm going to take him down with me!!!"
After taking the letter handed over by Yin Jiuyuan, Liao Shitang was a little surprised, but more angry, especially since the letter actually described in detail the process of torturing their subordinates. The means were so cruel that Liao Shitang couldn't help but slam the table and stand up. He looked like he was about to fight to the death, and he had lost his previous calmness and self-control.
"That's enough. The other party is so afraid that you will find him immediately and fall into his trap."
Yin Jiuyuan stopped Liao Sitang from making a move, and after seeing him calm down, he slowly stood up and approached the dozen or so corpses behind Shi Yi. He lowered his eyes for a moment before instructing Shi Yi, who was waiting on the side:
"Leave the matter at hand to Shi San. You will personally transport them safely back to the base and give them a proper burial. According to the rules, give the pensions to their families, and double it, and pay it from my account."
"Yes, chief." Shi Yi replied after receiving the order.
"A Yuan, what should we do next? Huo Qi Rex's current movements are difficult for us to track. Are we just going to let him continue to sabotage our secret agents?"
Liao Shitang has always been calm and self-controlled, but when he thought about what they had encountered during the time they came to Huangze Star, he couldn't help but get angry.
Wasteland Star is considered the main planet in the swamp area, and the orcs naturally occupy a place here. Although the casinos and brothels on this planet are better run, their mission is not bad either. On this planet, their three major families are in a three-way competition in business, and no one can beat the other. However, secretly, their orcs have spies everywhere, are sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and are slightly stronger than the other two families.
But they clearly have everything under control, but during this period of time they seem to be led by the nose. Every time they get the news, they can only go to collect the bodies of their people, while the other party is elusive. If it weren't for the letter, they might not be able to confirm the other party's identity until now.
"Atang, tell me...how did Huo Qi Rex manage to cultivate a network of spies and forces on the Wasteland Planet that is even more densely populated than ours without anyone noticing?"
Yin Jiuyuan's words seemed like a question, but they made Liao Shitang feel horrified.
"A Yuan, are you saying... Huo Qi Rex hid it from us? No, it's not just us. Perhaps there are two other families that have established their own power on Huangze Star, and this power is even more powerful than ours?"
Liao Sitang's expression turned extremely grim. The more he spoke, the more he felt Huo Qi Rex was unfathomable...
He never seemed to care about the sickly Second Prince of the Empire. Even though he had kidnapped the Bichon Beast and... a girl from him, Liao Sitang never thought that he would have the ability to retaliate against them...
Now it seems that he was completely wrong. If it was really as A Yuan said, then he really underestimated the Second Prince...
The swamp area has always been controlled by three families, but the second prince of the empire is secretly cultivating power on the Wasteland Star. What is his intention?
Liao Shitang suddenly recalled the rumors he'd heard about Huo Qi Rex a few years earlier. Back then, he'd been in a state of emergency and still the youngest marshal in the Ming'ao Empire. He'd single-handedly led the army to turn the tide of Ming'ao's defeat on the battlefield... Later, he'd suffered an accident and gradually faded from public view. The few times he appeared, he'd appear sickly...
Since when did everyone seem to only remember the sickly Second Prince of the Mingao Empire, having long forgotten that he was once a formidable military prodigy with exceptional talent. Even he was like this, never taking the other person seriously.
"Then...what should we do? What will he do next?" Liao Shitang was thinking too much and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he asked a question with a hoarse throat.
Hearing Liao Sitang's hoarse question, Yin Jiuyuan pondered. Actually, as early as when he was first injured and returned to the Wasteland Planet, he had noticed that Huo Qi Rex seemed to have considerable influence in the swamp area. After that, he began to secretly investigate. However, it was only recently that the other party began to reveal their hidden cards. He realized that Huo Qi Rex's influence on the Wasteland Planet had grown to such a level, and all of this was completely unknown to them from the beginning. With no awareness, naturally, no countermeasures were taken.
What would the other party do next? What was he thinking of doing? Was he just going to go against him out of revenge? No, that wasn't right!
"Pass on my order, send someone to immediately intercept the warship that is transporting Shi Yi's corpse." Yin Jiuyuan suddenly stood up and strode out, instructing everyone that they must intercept the warship.
Just now, Yin Jiuyuan suddenly thought that the other party's purpose was definitely not just to retaliate against them. Huo Qi Rex's real purpose was to rescue them.
It's still the coldest season on Han'e Star, so only large starships and bio-mechas can enter. So...
No matter how secretly Huo Qi Rex developed his power, he couldn't deploy a large starship in the swamp without being noticed. So, if he wanted to avoid alerting others, wouldn't using his starship allow him to conceal his presence? Not only would it not alert any other forces, it wouldn't be detected by Frost's air defenses either.
Yin Jiuyuan's guess was soon confirmed... Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
The starship has gone far away...
"A Yuan, what should we do?"
"Haha~ Since the guests have come uninvited, as the host, we naturally have to "entertain" them well. Let's go, don't keep the guests waiting for too long."
Yin Jiuyuan said this with gritted teeth, which made Liao Shitang tremble in his heart.
It has been many years since I saw A Yuan so angry. The second prince of the empire is also a great talent.
However, Liao Shitang was still somewhat happy. He thought very confidently that the other party's behavior was unintentional and he was walking into a trap. Han'e Star was the base camp of their orc tribe. His Royal Highness the Second Prince didn't even know if he could save his own life, but he still wanted to save others.
