Chapter 179 Investigation.
Listening to Grace talking about Lu Xia.
Admiral Snoop was in a very complicated mood. He looked at Grace: "You never considered Duke Lu Xia when you did this. I think Duke Lu Xia has been very good to you. Have you ever thought about how she will deal with herself in the empire if the matter is exposed? How dangerous you put her, don't you know, Grace?"
Facing Admiral Snoop's questioning, Grace's expression did not waver. He looked at Admiral Snoop with a calm look.
"It is because I don't want Xia Xia to continue to suffer unfair treatment that I did these things. I will guarantee her safety. Admiral Snoop doesn't need to worry about this."
Admiral Snoop saw that he was not shaken at all, and knew that he had thought everything through when he took this step.
Looking at the flames in his hand, Admiral Snoop knew that even if they all went out to keep Grace, it would not be realistic, not to mention that he only brought a small team today.
He really didn't expect that Lu Xia not only developed gene fusion, but also successfully extracted such a foreign gene. They all underestimated her ability.
"Admiral Snop, I need your help to investigate the authenticity of this information. I believe you will gain more. You don't need to give me an accurate answer today. I will be waiting for your arrival at any time. There will always be a place for you in the Alliance Army."
When Admiral Snop heard the three words "Alliance Army", he looked at Grace: "Are you planning to establish an alliance system after overthrowing the imperial power?"
"Yes, I think only in this way can we achieve a certain balance."
Admiral Snop knew very well what the balance he was talking about was. At this moment, he was indeed a little shaken in his heart, but as the general of the Empire's First Military District, he knew very well what it would mean if he agreed to take that step with Grace. The empire's current combat effectiveness would probably collapse completely with his betrayal.
Seeing Admiral Snoop lost in thought, Grace did not say much. He stood up and said, "If you have nothing else, I will leave first."
He saluted Admiral Snoop as he did in the First Military District before turning around and leaving, as if they were still in a superior-subordinate relationship. At the moment Grace walked out of the box, a voice came from Admiral Snoop's headset: "Sir, do you want to act now?"
Admiral Snoop immediately said, "Pause the action, everyone stay where you are."
Admiral Snoop knew very well that Grace, who had superpower genes and a fusion degree of 100%, was definitely not someone they could keep. There was no need to conflict with Grace at this time. This was a choice that was not worth the loss.
Grace came out of the box and returned to the hovercraft. He glanced at several places where he could set up an ambush. Seeing that the people hiding in the dark did not move, he knew that Admiral Snoop probably gave up his original plan.
He did not stay any longer and drove away.
When Cardin saw him coming back, he looked behind him and said with a little disappointment: "It seems that you didn't convince the other party."
Grace threw her coat to him: "He needs some time to think about it. Can you agree to such a big thing right away?"
Cardin said: "I agreed right away at the beginning."
Grace gave him a look of disdain, ignored him and walked straight to the office.
Cardin followed him closely: "Aren't you going back to rest?"
"I have something else to do. I won't go back for the time being. After Cecil's funds arrive, please give me the list of materials for review. Don't let others do this. You should do it yourself."
"I know, but it won't take too long for such a large amount of funds to be remitted."
"It won't take too long. I believe in his ability."
"How can you be so sure that he will stand on our side? I heard that he is a member of the royal family."
"I didn't believe him. I always believed in my own female master."
Hearing this, Cardin thought of the female master mentioned by Grace, and he was unable to refute
it. Even though he had not personally been with Duke Lu Xia, he had been with Grace for so long that he naturally knew that he was not only a perfect gene fusionist, but also had a complete beast form and fire ability.
And these were all given to him by his female master. In the system of the empire, who can do this? Only Duke Lu Xia.
Put yourself in her shoes. If you have such a powerful female master, you will probably be loyal and dare not have any other thoughts. After all, there is only such a powerful female master in this galaxy.
Thinking of this, Cardin couldn't help but envy Grace. He smiled and said, "When I meet your female master, you must introduce her to me and see if you can ask her to help me improve my gene fusion."
He didn't ask to have heterogeneous genes, and it was enough to achieve a perfect gene fusionist.
"Stop talking nonsense and get out to work."
Cardin couldn't help but mutter: "Stingy, can't you just promise to coax me first?"
"You don't deserve it!"
Grace's stubborn look made Cardin stomp his feet but he couldn't do anything about him.

The news of Admiral Snoop's meeting with Grace had not spread. The people Admiral Snoop brought were all his own confidants.
So Her Majesty the Queen of the Empire was still unaware that Grace was the executive officer of the rebels.
And Admiral Snoop had no intention of reporting this matter. After returning to the military district, he began to gather people to investigate the accuracy of the information Grace gave him.
Obviously, Grace's words still made him waver in his heart.
And Grace and Admiral Snoop reached a tacit understanding to a certain extent, at least the battle on the border stopped.
After the royal family learned of this news, they deliberately let people publicize that the rebels had been defeated by the First Army, the firepower was suspended, and they avoided the sharp edge, trying to use this news to calm the people's dissatisfaction with the royal family.
However, the people did not buy it——
"What's the big deal? Isn't it their job to defeat the rebels?"
"Besides, this is the achievement of the First Military District. What does it have to do with your royal family? Did your royal family send people to the front battlefield? Aren't they all hiding in the palace enjoying themselves?"
"I think this news is not true at all. The rebels were so fierce before, how could they be suddenly defeated by the Imperial Army? I believe they have reached some kind of agreement and are now in a truce negotiation state."
"You are not the only one upstairs, I think so too. The rebels' rise this time is obviously well prepared, and I think they really have a chance to succeed. The ceasefire now is obviously a prelude to a negotiation of interests. I wonder if the admiral of the First Military District has other ideas."
