——Snow Star, Central City——
With lights and decorations everywhere, tonight on Xuexing is destined to be a sleepless night.
In the largest venue in the central city, nearly a hundred orcs followed their trainers, wearing cute or sexy training uniforms, and were displayed one by one in the center of the stage to the audience from all directions.
The four commentators spoke in rhythmic tones about the popular pets on the field that had hopes of winning the championship, and commented on their shining points one by one. The audience also screamed and cheered for their favorite orcs. Ever since two blue beasts had killed people and violated the law, these hypocritical nobles had been less enthusiastic about the blue beasts. Instead, they liked the obedient and well-behaved orcs who had undergone unified training more.
After all, species that escape from human control will make humans fearful and wary, so how can they pamper them as before?
At this time, a group of people were surrounded by staff and entered from the center of the red carpet. The beautiful guides led them to the VIP seats with the best views and high-end seats. The commentator also excitedly explained their identities to the audience.
"On the left, the man in a gray-blue suit is our most respected Mr. Ivan Bedma!" the male commentator said fluently, "During his tenure as the mayor of Snow Star's central city, Mr. Ivan led everyone in planning and construction, coordinating technology, and making full use of Snow Star's resources to develop tourism, agriculture, the pet industry, etc...." Behind this series of boasting, the miserable situation of so many people on Snow Star is concealed, as if Snow Star originally belonged to the interstellar people, and they were not invaders, but pioneers.
"Surrounding Mr. Ivan are the elite children of the Bedma family. Everyone knows that Mr. Ivan tragically lost his beloved daughter, Miss Zhuna. Fortunately, he still has a son and a daughter, who are both filial and outstanding. Mr. Ivan is enjoying his old age." The female commentator casually recounted some well-known stories about the Bedma family. "Now, please welcome Mr. Ivan to give his speech. Please applaud and welcome him!"
Ivan took the microphone, cleared his throat, and put on a kind expression on his aged face. "I'm honored to be the opening guest for the pet selection contest. Thank you all for your trust in me. Speaking of which, orcs and my family have a special connection. My eldest daughter, Zhuna, once found a homeless orc and took it home to care for it. Although Zhuna and her pet later died in an accident, it is precisely because of this that I hope the connection between orcs and interstellar people will continue."
There was thunderous applause. Ivan took out a piece of thin silk from his pocket and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. His hair was gray and his body was hunched. In the eyes of the audience, he did not look like a high-ranking nobleman, but more like an old father who was grieving over the loss of his beloved daughter. For a moment, the distance between Ivan and his people was shortened.
After a brief speech, the finals of the pet selection contest officially began. The atmosphere in the venue was boiling, and it reached its climax after the first orc took the stage to perform. Cheers and screams were heard everywhere, and the entire central city was filled with exciting factors, jumping and surging.
No one noticed that the luxurious and tall palace of the Bedma family was quietly surrounded by a small group of people.
In the moonlit port, the guards used their duty time to watch the pet selection contest through live broadcast. The management was lax, and by the time the dark army surrounded the port, it was too late. The guards didn't even have time to sound the alarm before their lives ended.
"You three, control the back door, you go to guard the side door, and the rest of you, follow me to the second floor." Yu Sheng made a few gestures to the Orc Special Forces Team, and they quickly and neatly carried out Yu Sheng's orders. Yu Sheng led the remaining three people to sneak into the second floor quietly. Yu Sheng used his mental power to destroy the surveillance and alarm devices. The remaining three people quickly checked every room, and if there were servants guarding the house, they would knock them out and tie them up until all the rooms were searched.
The three of them shook their heads at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng made a gesture, and the four of them went up to the third floor. Finally, after using their mental power to crack a complicated door lock, a signal device inside came into view. Next to the signal device were two virtual warehouses connected to it.
Yu Sheng's eyes lit up as he climbed into the virtual chamber. He didn't rush into the connection, but instead used his mental power to scan the chamber's entire interior, confirming there were no dangerous mechanisms. This time, he closed his eyes with peace of mind and logged into the interstellar network. Of the remaining three, two would keep watch while one would send a message to the legion commander on standby outside the city. They would then follow their scouted route to infiltrate the Bedma family and hide.
—Pet selection competition site—
The wonderful performance made the audience's blood boil, and the competition for the championship was even more exciting. When the commentator introduced the gorgeous orc on the stage in a high-pitched voice, a gunshot suddenly broke the carnival. Although the gunshot was drowned out by the cheers and almost no one heard it, the huge screen hanging high in the sky happened to broadcast the bodyguard standing next to Mr. Ivan being shot and falling down. The scene was immediately filled with screams and chaos. The audience ran out like crazy before they could figure out what was going on.
After the bodyguard fell, a team of people immediately stepped forward to protect Ivan. Ivan's face was filled with shock and anger, and he banged his crutch fiercely, "Check! Check for me!"
The venue was immediately sealed off, the selection contest was terminated, and the participating orcs agreed to be locked in cages. The owners, like the spectators, were stopped in the hall by soldiers and no one was allowed to leave.
"Everyone is a suspect!" Ivan's officer shouted sternly, "Don't let any of them go until we find out who the spy who assassinated Mr. Ivan is!"
The officer didn't know that when they blocked the group of panicked tourists in the venue and conflicts broke out, several people had quietly got into the mecha and flew out of the venue.
Frey drove the Thunder and activated the stealth system to avoid the surveillance of the Central City. The Central City was a newly built city, and many of its facilities were built from scratch, far less advanced than planets like Mantu and Wenxing. Therefore, Frey easily reached the palace of the Bedma family and met up with Yu Sheng.
In the squad, the sniper asked Frey, "Why didn't you let me shoot directly at Ivan? Wouldn't it be better to kill him?"
"You can't kill him," Frey said. "Ivan is wearing top-notch defensive gear. You definitely can't kill him with one strike. It's better to kill his bodyguards to cause panic, draw their attention, and buy time for the rest of the army to infiltrate."
There are actually not many troops stationed on Snow Star. The interstellar ships can be dispatched from other planets at any time, and there is no need to waste financial and human resources to build a military base on this planet which is entirely wasteland except for the central city.
The team was very successful. Most of the troops in Central City were transferred to the venue, which allowed the anti-Star Alliance troops to sneak into the city in batches.
The night destined to be filled with gunpowder has just begun.
