Auckland stealthily went to the restroom and hid in a cubicle. After locking the door, he retrieved a few spirit stones from his storage ring and quickly cast a barrier, preventing anyone outside from hearing anything. Even if someone entered, they wouldn't notice anyone was inside. He then activated his computer and attempted to connect to the Federation Star Network.
He quickly connected to the StarNet and dialed General Carter Williams' number. General Williams was in a meeting, but after seeing his name displayed on the computer, he immediately got up and returned to his office, where he answered the call.
"Son, you finally sent a message. We were so worried after not hearing from you for over a month. Now that we know you're okay, we're relieved."
"Uncle Carter, we are fine." It was really nice to be cared for by others, but time was tight, so Oakland couldn't exchange pleasantries with him. He simply and clearly told him everything they had seen and heard in the Dark Star Region these days, and also sent him the coordinates of the mecha factory and the Dark Mining Star.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work. I will arrange the next action secretly. You and Hall should find a way to meet the leader of the Blood Moon Pirates while ensuring your own safety." We must find out who this mysterious leader of the Blood Moon Pirates is.
Ten minutes later, Oakland returned to the dining table, and Hall immediately threw himself into his arms, pulled open his collar, and quickly got in.
Blake looked at the bulging ball on Auckland's chest with reluctance, not realizing that Auckland seemed to have taken a long time to go to the bathroom. His mind was all on the cute little ball of fur.
"Ivan, your little black cat really looks like the little white ball from a family I knew before, just the color is different. If it weren't so small, I would probably think it was the little white ball pretending to be it." Blake suddenly said.
Auckland couldn't figure out whether his words were meant to be a reference or just a joke, so he could only give two dry laughs in response.
After the three of them had their fill, they strolled around for a bit. Blake even bought Hall a scratching board specifically for sharpening his nails.
"This is a very good one, very sturdy. A family I know bought this brand of scratching board for their child."
"Thank you." Oakland took it after expressing his gratitude, but he sighed in his heart. Although Hall is only as small as a palm now, his cultivation has actually reached the transformation stage. Let alone such a large scratch board, even if it is replaced with a super alloy, it may not be able to withstand the claws of this little guy.
After shopping enough, the three of them returned to the villa to rest. They waited until Jason bought enough supplies before returning to the Dark Star Region.
When he returned to the mecha factory, Arnold had already prepared a team of heraldsmen for him. These heraldsmen had an average B+ level and were familiar with physical heraldry. Such a team could not be assembled by simply hijacking one or two airships in space. Judging from their expressions, there was no tension or reluctance, so perhaps they were not kidnapped.
But no matter whether it is a high salary or some other reason, the fact that these people are willing to come to the Dark Star Region to work has already shown their position.
In the subsequent work, Auckland rarely communicated with them. In order to create a better working environment, he even dispersed everyone into independent studios, with each person responsible for a part of the entire mecha. In this way, they could almost make a new mecha in two days.
After loading the newly completed mecha into the mecha storage box, Arnold personally picked up the box and said to Oakland, "Ivan, come with me."
Auckland could probably guess who Arnold was going to meet, so he quickly followed him, and of course did not forget to put the little ball of wool in his pocket.
After getting in the car, Arnold instructed Auckland, "The person you are going to meet soon is of high status. Listen to what he says. If he doesn't ask you a question, don't speak carelessly, or you will upset that person."
"I understand, father." Oakland held Hall's soft little paw in his hand, and kept wondering in his heart whether the person he was about to meet was the one he guessed.
It took more than an hour to reach the destination. When we got off the car, we found that Auckland was a desolate place with no one living there.
"Father?" Oakland wanted to ask Arnold if he had come to the wrong destination, but he saw him holding the mecha storage box in his hand and slowly walking to the center of the open space.
"Come here." Arnold waved to Auckland.
Auckland immediately walked over and stood beside him.
"Don't take that little thing with you." Arnold glanced at Hall who was held in Oakland's arms.
"Okay, Dad." Oakland opened the car door and put Hall back in.
However, the moment Oakland closed the door, Hall's figure disappeared from the car, and was replaced by a little weight that appeared out of thin air on Oakland's shoulder.
Oakland brought the invisible Hall to Arnold's side. The next moment, he felt the ground beneath his feet shake, and then he felt a sense of weightlessness. He and Arnold fell down like a free fall.
Auckland originally wanted to use a light body technique to make his body float in the air, but his spiritual sense noticed the calmness and composure on Arnold's face, so he gave up the idea.
The two fell for about ten seconds before landing on a soft cushion. Hall held on to Oakland's neck tightly to prevent himself from being thrown out, but his tail was still pressed down, and he had to work hard to keep from crying out.
Auckland took him into his palm with heartache and carefully massaged his tail.
"Come here." Arnold's voice sounded, and Oakland quickly and quietly put the invisible Hall back on his shoulder, then quickly followed Arnold.
They are now in a secret underground fortress, which is heavily guarded with cameras everywhere and an extremely sensitive defense system. Although there are no guards or patrol personnel on the surface, every place is under surveillance, and no clues can escape the monitoring of all-round cameras.
It’s a pity that no matter how many cameras there are, they can’t do anything about an unscientific invisible little ball of fur.
The two of them moved forward unimpeded, and the automatic doors opened automatically along the way, as if someone was observing their route and opening the door for them in time.
After many twists and turns, he finally arrived at the deepest room. After the door opened, Auckland finally saw the man known as the leader of the Blood Moon Pirates.
He was a very handsome, tall, middle-aged man. He wore a black half-face mask that obscured his features, but his blond hair and blue eyes could still be seen. He was very sturdy and strong, and he naturally exuded the aura of a superior.
However, his mask was useless to Hall and Oakland's consciousness, and they could still see his face clearly.
When Auckland saw the face of this mysterious man clearly, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise in his mind.
This person... actually looks 70% similar to Dragal!
"Hall, this... this person, could he be related to Dragal?" Oakland hurriedly asked in his mind.
Hall was silent for a moment before answering with his spiritual sense, "He is... Aiden Gladstone."
"Who is Aiden Gladstone?" Hearing the heaviness in Hall's tone, Auckland had a bad feeling in his heart.
"He is the commander of the First Army, responsible for commanding the troops directly under the head of the Federation." I never thought that the commander of such a prestigious army would be the leader of the notorious Blood Moon Pirates. Could it be that General Gladstone, rumored to be the most loyal, is also obsessed with power and wants to become the next head of the Federation through force?
"So what's his relationship with De Lagar...?" Oakland was more concerned about whether his friends would be implicated.
'He is De Lagar's uncle, and his sister married into the Leslie family.'
No wonder he looks so much like Delagar; it turns out it's because nephews resemble their uncles. No wonder Delagar's family, despite being relatively unknown, still doesn't dare to attack him; it turns out they're wary of his powerful uncle.
Aiden Gladstone didn't know his identity had been exposed. He said coldly to the two people in front of him, "Sit down."
Arnold pulled Auckland and sat down on the sofa with great trepidation. He said respectfully, "Master Egg, the things I mentioned to you before have been completed."
Lord Egg...this name is quite convenient.
“How’s the effect?”
"The results are unexpectedly good. After the modification, the mecha's energy loss rate has not only been reduced by 60%, but it also has an automatic recovery function. Mr. Black has also added some attack methods to the mecha, greatly increasing its power in combat."
The author has something to say: Here comes the second update, which is definitely thicker than this morning's! The true identity of the leader of the Star Pirates has been revealed! What kind of little secret is hidden? Stay tuned for the next chapter to find out~~~Also, today is the last day of the month, don't waste the nutrient solution~~~Hand it over quickly~~=v=
【Happy Little Theater】——Moshang
Lanlan: It seems like there's some kind of love-hate relationship between Blake and the leader of the Star Pirates. Is this my illusion?
Hall: Ouch! My wife is right!
Blake: Hahaha, how is that possible? Oh my! This black fur ball has lost weight!
Lanlan & Hall: Is this guy a fool?
