"How brave—"
Seeing Zheng Cheng actually taking action, the man became furious.
Zheng Cheng is a warrior who has taken gene enhancement drugs. Although it is only a level 4 gene enhancement drug, compared to ordinary people, he is already like a superman.
Before the man could get into a fighting stance, Zheng Cheng had already pounced in front of him. He pushed with his right hand, and with a bang, the man flew backwards like a cannonball.
"Damn it!" the other man was shocked and angry.
Before he could react, Zheng Cheng threw another backhand punch at him.
The two men kept flying backwards until they hit the stone wall, making two thuds, and then fell to the ground.
Considering that the Zhao family is an old and wealthy family, Zheng Cheng did not use all his strength and only taught the two of them a lesson.
Although Zheng Cheng had not been with Lin Tao for a long time, he had learned about genetic enhancement drugs and witnessed the appearance of K223 and the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang. His respect for Lin Tao was even greater than that for Zheng Tuo, so how could he tolerate anyone slandering him?
What's more, Lin Tao's words already meant that he did not want to cooperate with the Zhao family.
From the time Zheng Cheng made his move until the two sturdy men hit the stone wall and fell down, the whole process took no more than twenty seconds.
Not to mention Zheng Xun, even manager Zhao Haiyang failed to react and stood there in a daze.
Lin Tao raised his eyebrows and his eyes flashed.
"You...you...you guys..." After reacting, Zhao Haiyang lost his grip on the cup in his hand and it dropped to the ground with a clang. It immediately broke into pieces, and the unfinished wine also spilled all over the floor.
As a member of the Zheng family, after seeing Zheng Cheng's reaction, Zheng Xun also understood the choice of the current head of the Zheng family, Zheng Tuo, and immediately stood on Lin Tao's side.
"Manager Zhao, our Brother Lin has spoken. How do you plan to respond?"
Zheng Xun looked at Zhao Haiyang coldly and said in a cold voice.
It is obvious that the Zhao family would never agree to the conditions proposed by Lin Tao. Similarly, Lin Tao has never thought about cooperating with the Zhao family, otherwise he would not have made such a request.
Zhao Haiyang had a gloomy face and didn't say a word for a long time.
At this time, the two strong men also climbed up from the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and returned to Zhao Haiyang silently and dejectedly.
"Two pieces of trash!" Zhao Haiyang shouted angrily.
Due to the difference in strength, the two sturdy men both lowered their heads and said nothing.
In fact, even Zheng Xun understood the hidden meaning behind Lin Tao's words, so how could Zhao Haiyang not understand it?
It seems that I have to go back to the wise team to study Lin Tao. Zhao Luoyang's face was gloomy.
"Lin Tao, I hope you will reconsider. Our conditions are still very good."
Zhao Haiyang forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and after leaving a word, he left with the two strong men without waiting for Zheng Xun to say goodbye.
Lin Tao and the others watched Zhao Haiyang and the other two leave until they disappeared. Zheng Cheng came to Lin Tao and asked, "Lin Tao, do you want to expel them from Mineral Star District 7?"
"Expel? Why?" Lin Tao asked with a smile.
"They are the old and wealthy Zhao family. If the cooperation talks fail, will they join forces with the Liu and Davis families?" Zheng Xun was very worried about the news revealed by Zhao Haiyang.
After all, the Liu and Davis families have assembled 300 giant starships. Not to mention these giant ships, the number of mechas inside the giant ships alone would definitely be around 300,000.
With such a large number, let alone a mere Mingyuan Star, even any large and powerful force would probably give up.
"They won't." After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tao shook his head, then smiled again: "But they will set some obstacles for us."
In later generations, in order to find out the reasons why the eight wealthy families left the Interstellar Federation, Lin Tao did some research on the eight wealthy families and had a very good understanding of these so-called wealthy families.
Unless the situation escalates to the point of a fight to the death, they will never casually take the approach of destroying the portal, especially someone like Lin Tao who has excellent mecha design capabilities. They will only find ways to get him to join and will never offend him so easily and thoroughly.
After a pause, Lin Tao looked at Zheng Cheng again: "You were too gentle, why didn't you leave those two behind?"
"I..." Zheng Cheng was speechless. The other party was an old and powerful force. How dare he offend them to death all of a sudden? The reason why he took action was because of the other party.
Lin Tao said: "If we keep those two people, the Zhao family will not break off relations with us."
If Zheng Cheng had been able to keep those two people at that time, the impression they would give to the Zhao family now is that they definitely have the confidence to not be afraid of the old powerful forces.
You know, Lin Tao now has only one Mingyuan Star, and the most he has is the one he snatched from the Star Mansion. In this case, if he dares to challenge the Zhao family, it means that the strength of those K223 and the improved version of the Tianjia God General is not even taken into consideration by the 300 giant starry sky ships.
In this way, the Zhao family would be even less willing to make trouble for them secretly.
It was a pity that this opportunity was wasted, Lin Tao shook his head secretly.
Of course, Lin Tao would not blame Zheng Cheng for this. After all, if Zheng Cheng did not take action at that time, Lin Tao would choose to take action himself.
As a mecha master of later generations, who would dare to slander him at will? He is a powerful man who can easily kill the mysterious starry sky creatures of later generations.
A man cannot stand without authority, and a tree cannot live without bark.
"Send some people to keep an eye on Zhao Haiyang, to prevent them from tripping us up while we're still unaware of it." Lin Tao instructed Zheng Xun who was standing aside.
Zheng Xun wondered in his heart: "Since they are going to cause trouble, why not just expel them?"
Lin Tao shook his head: "If we expel them directly, they will join the Liu and Davis families' joint fleet. If we ignore them on purpose, they will not turn hostile on the spot except for some despicable means."
…
"Manager Zhao, are we just going to watch them act so arrogantly?"
After walking out of the Blood Wolf Gang headquarters, a sturdy man looked back at the stone cave, his eyes flashing with a flaming anger. Zheng Cheng's attack almost broke three of his ribs.
The other strong man was also very angry, he was also seriously injured.
"Go contact the Stardust Sky Pirates immediately and ask them to take action." Zhao Haiyang's eyes were gloomy.
The Stardust Sky Pirates are the Sky Pirates that the Zhao family forcibly invited back.
This is a Star Pirates group that has a certain reputation among the Star Pirates. Not to mention their leader, their strength alone ranks among the top 20 among all the Star Pirates groups.
Of course, if they were not closest to the Mingyuan Star Region, the Zhao family would definitely recruit a star pirate group that was among the top three in strength.
After all, the Zhao family is an established and powerful family among the eight wealthy families.
"I'll go back and contact them right away." The sturdy man nodded and left quickly.
…
In the evening.
Brother Luo found Lin Tao again.
At this time, Luo Ge was carrying a snakeskin bag on his back that was dripping with water and was as thick as an ordinary person's waist.
"Brother Lin, I have already asked people to collect the things you asked me to collect." Brother Luo said as he put down the snakeskin bag.
The snakeskin bag fell to the ground with a dull thud.
"Brother Lin, this thing doesn't look like much, but it weighs almost 100 kilograms." Brother Luo said.
Lin Tao nodded. If not for this, it wouldn't have kept sinking into the puddle without floating up. If the watch hadn't been covered with a layer of material that blocked the radio signal, he wouldn't have been able to detect the existence of such a thing.
"How many of these things are there on this planet?" Lin Tao said after opening his pocket and taking a look.
"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be much." Brother Luo said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I've asked someone to keep an eye out for it, and they'll send it to you as soon as they find it."
"Very good, I will say a few good words for you in front of Zheng Xun." Lin Tao was very satisfied.
"Haha~" Luo Ge laughed immediately, and he lowered his voice: "Brother Lin, if you can also arrange a K223 for me, I will be very satisfied."
"Oh?" Lin Tao was quite surprised.
"Brother Xun has been in the underground training room. I've seen the machine and it has good performance. If I were to operate it, I would definitely be able to use K223 to deal with more than ten ordinary mechas." Brother Luo assured, patting his chest.
"Very good." Lin Tao smiled immediately: "Once the matter of Planet No. 5 is resolved, I will immediately arrange a K223 for you. But before that, you cannot disclose the news of this mecha to the outside world."
"Don't worry, Brother Lin, I'm not an outsider, I know what to do." Brother Luo nodded repeatedly.
Watching Brother Luo leave, Lin Tao's eyes flashed.
Zheng Xun once mentioned that he would take K223 to the underground training ground to operate it, and ordinary people would not have the opportunity to see it. Since Luo Ge had the opportunity to see the machine, he should be Zheng Xun's confidant. If such a person was on Mingyuan Star, he would definitely be called by Zheng Tuo to take gene enhancement drugs.
For such people, Lin Tao is often generous with the resources around him to train them.
Zheng Xun had already arranged a room for Lin Tao, so Lin Tao took the snakeskin bag back directly.
There were not many of those dark green things, about the size of a pile of sand weighing more than ten kilograms, but they weighed nearly a hundred kilograms.
Due to the emergence of mysterious star creatures in later generations, many precious raw materials have completely disappeared in history, but Lin Tao has still seen many photos and a small number of specimens.
If my guess is correct, this thing should be an important item for capturing "shadows".
Lin Tao had long wanted to drive out and capture the mysterious creature 'Shadow' in the Bai Family Building in Mingyuan Star's Medicinal Materials Town. According to the information from the later Interstellar Federation, as long as he had this 'Shadow', he could turn it into a small space for loading mechas, regardless of whether it was dead or alive.
In this way, no matter where Lin Tao goes, he only needs to carry this small space with him and take out the body inside at any time.
Lin Tao is determined to get the 'shadow'.
However, in order to confirm once again whether these dark green objects are the substances of later generations, Lin Tao still needs to confirm it. Otherwise, if he makes a mistake, there will be a lot of trouble.
