Chapter 294: Interrogating Li Ming
Ford rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he was not mistaken. The person standing on the hatch was indeed Li Ming.
Gabriel left secretly to capture Li Ming?
Ford was stunned and even found it unbelievable.
Although he learned a few days ago that Asmara had secretly sent people to capture someone, he never connected this matter with Li Ming.
Given how cunning this guy is, there's no way he could be caught so easily.
For a moment, he couldn't believe it and subconsciously suspected that there was something fishy going on.
"He is Li Ming?"
"He's so high-spirited, wearing a gene suppressor and still so proud..."
“When I saw it for the first time, it really felt different from the pictures and videos.”
There was a low noise all around. Most of the commanders present came from various civilizations in the Silver Star Cluster, not all of them were from the Itlan civilization.
In the past, I had only seen this name and related pictures in the information.
They did not have the incredible feeling that Ford had.
According to the information, Li Ming is just a human being from a small place with great development potential.
Now his most eye-catching identity is Qinglong's student, and for this reason he rejected Asmara's olive branch.
Only then did everyone understand Asmara's intention in calling them here.
Although Li Ming rejected Asmara's olive branch because of his unfathomable teacher Qinglong, it was also a laughing stock for Asmara.
Letting them come is to bear witness to the consequences of those who reject her olive branch.
But it did have the desired effect. After all, this time, Qinglong failed to save his student.
How did he get caught?
Prince Baijan, who was standing at the back, suddenly looked gloomy, and then passed by Ford's back.
He couldn't see Ford's expression. At this moment, he even suspected that it was Ford who betrayed Li Ming.
He didn't care about Li Ming, but he cared about how much Asmara could expand her influence through this incident.
Although Asmara had her back to the crowd, she could guess what they were thinking. Her eyes were complicated, and she did have the idea of regaining her momentum.
But when he thought of Li Ming's terrifying development potential, his heart began to bleed. Not only was he already a Class B life form, but his development progress had even exceeded 60%!
But now, this person has no chance with him.
The noise gradually faded away, and everyone's faces became strange again, looking at each other in confusion.
"Is this guy trying to pose? Why isn't anyone escorting him down?" someone muttered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gabriel walked out from behind Li Ming with a somewhat gloomy look on his face.
"Let's go." His voice was cold and he was in a bad mood. Because of Li Ming's terrifying development potential, all the people accompanying him did not dare to treat him too badly.
As the son of the Grand Duke of the Empire, he certainly couldn't make such an ungraceful move as pushing Li Ming.
Several soldiers pushed Li Ming carefully, and Li Ming walked down the stairs.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling more and more puzzled. It seemed as if they were all afraid of Li Ming.
Ford came over immediately, looked around, and even couldn't help wanting to reach out and pinch Li Ming's arm.
"Are you sick?" Li Ming was speechless and shook off Ford's outstretched hand.
"Is it really Li Ming?" Ford still found it hard to believe.
Gabriel's expression was indifferent: "Genetic data has been verified and confirmed that he is Li Ming."
"How did you get caught?" Ford couldn't help but ask.
Li Ming shrugged helplessly, "I don't know. I was drinking. Who knew that His Highness Gabriel, the divine soldier and heavenly general, would capture me directly?"
"So simple?" Ford looked at Gabriel.
Gabriel was obviously unhappy, "Otherwise, he is just a..."
Having said this, he glanced around. Seeing everyone listening intently, he spoke vaguely, "It's just an ordinary life form. How difficult can it be?"
"That's true..." Ford was still a little skeptical.
With his current state of mind, he is no longer worried that Li Ming will reveal his previous scandals. With the amnesty order, those previous things are no longer that meaningful.
Did I really overestimate this guy?
After all, two A-level life forms were dispatched this time, so it seemed normal to capture Li Ming. Ford fell into deep thought.
"Your Highness, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as beautiful as ever." Li Ming looked at Asmara and praised her.
Everyone looked at him in surprise. This guy really didn't have the slightest awareness of being a prisoner.
His teacher Qinglong and Asmara are now in a hostile state and cannot protect him.
Even if he is valuable in balancing the Azure Dragon, Asmara would have no problem making him suffer.
Asmara glanced at him expressionlessly and said calmly, "Why didn't you tell me when you left?"
Ford's heart skipped a beat and he looked up suddenly. Something was wrong, absolutely wrong.
Why did Asmara react like this?
Not only him, but everyone else was also confused. Asmara's attitude was too good.
"You left too hastily..." Li Ming said helplessly, "Besides, you also left Blue Star at that time."
"Yeah, what a pity..." Asmara sighed, "Let's go. I have a lot of questions that I want to get answers from you."
Led by Asmara, a group of senior officials detained Li Ming and took him deeper into the cave.
It’s not quite right to say that he was in detention. Li Ming walked slowly and leisurely, and the others actually tried to match his pace.
Gabriel, with a grim expression, tried to speed up several times, but had to slow down every time.
Weird, so weird.
A group of people had different expressions, and suddenly someone shouted, "Your Excellency Korla."
Korla was about to go back when he turned around and saw a group of commanders coming up to him. "I heard that the handsome man in the luxury wine fleet is bloated and weighs at least 500 to 600 kilograms. Is that true?"
He is the A-level life form assigned by Asmara, a direct descendant of Itlan, and has a strong physique.
Korla knew what the commanders were thinking and shook his head coldly, "Everyone, I won't say anything."
The commanders smiled awkwardly and left in disappointment. Korla looked at their backs and thought of the terrible number on Li Ming.
An indescribable expression appeared on his cold face. He had never imagined that the development potential of a normal living being could be more than double that of him.
…
In the side room of the interrogation room of the Ring Star Crown Guard, Asmara stood in front of the one-way transparent glass, looking at Li Ming who was sitting inside, Gabriel standing beside him, and Ford and Prince Baijan standing behind him.
In the interrogation room, the walls are all black and made of special materials that absorb the light that escapes from the surroundings.
Therefore, to the naked eye, the black space seemed endless. In the quiet space, there was only him and the metal table in front of him.
This kind of environment will naturally give people a great sense of oppression, but [Smart Assistance] can clearly perceive the boundaries of the room.
So, Li Ming just tapped the metal table out of boredom.
Soon, a rectangular crack of light appeared in the boundless black space and then expanded.
Two Itlans, a man and a woman, came over.
The man had an expressionless face, a square face, and deep grooves on both sides of his nose, giving people a strong sense of oppression, while the woman had a gentle smile.
The two men pulled apart the chairs and sat down, lowering their heads, as if looking through some information. The room remained silent for more than ten minutes.
Li Ming continued to tap the table slowly, firmly, and regularly.
The man and woman looked at each other and frowned slightly. It is basically difficult for people of this age to bear this kind of psychological pressure.
Even if I have to curse a few times, I can't help but speak.
"Li Ming..." the male interrogator said in a cold voice, "...human, male, twenty years old, born on the remote planet of the Blue Star civilization - Silver Gray Star. His father is..."
Li Ming listened nonchalantly. Seeing his expression, the male interrogator's face grew even gloomier. He said in a cold voice, "I have a few questions for you now."
"First, how did you and the mechanic codenamed Qinglong meet?"
Li Ming looked at the wall helplessly, "Did you really send someone like this to interrogate me?"
Bang!
The male interrogator suddenly stood up and said sternly, "Don't think this is a joke. This is war. Your life is in danger at any time!"
Li Ming looked up at him, shook his head and said, "The red marks on the back of your neck are probably caused by burst capillaries. Who sucked it?"
"Interestingly, the beautiful woman next to me also has similar marks behind her ears..."
Li Ming looked at the male interrogator whose cheeks were gradually turning pale, and shook his head and said, "Your Highness Asmara, when you were fighting, you actually allowed your subordinates to fall in love. That's really good."
The male interrogator's throat moved and he subconsciously glanced at the wall. As a full-time interrogator, all his emotional reactions since he came in were carefully designed. In fact, he felt nothing in his heart.
But now he was really panicking. Glancing at the pale-faced woman, he said in a deep voice:
"Hmph, do you think this little trick will work? We are here to interrogate you because the Itlan civilization still has mercy on you. Otherwise, there will be psychic interrogators who will directly search your memory."
"Search my memory?" Li Ming shook his head and laughed. "You mean, Asmara would search someone with a development potential of 46?"
Development potential level 46?
The male interrogator's face was confused at first, and then he showed an indescribable expression.
Because this number is too large and beyond his understanding, it makes him feel unrealistic.
But behind the one-way lens, there was dead silence. Ford's mouth was dry and he swallowed unconsciously. He subconsciously asked, "How much?"
He didn't know who to ask, and naturally no one explained it to him.
Level forty-six?
This number was too incredible. Ford had never heard of this level of development potential.
Doesn't this mean that this guy is definitely an S-level life form, or even more powerful?
No wonder he is so confident, no wonder Asmara treats him so strangely, this guy is such a treasure.
No wonder Gabriel had that dead horse face. Under such circumstances, there was no way he could do anything to Li Ming and he had to worship him.
No wonder Qinglong made him a student. Only a fool wouldn't invest in such potential development.
In an instant, Ford felt that all the questions in his mind were explained.
Prince Baijan, who had been silent all this time, subconsciously clenched his fists, his pupils condensed, and his heart seemed to be squeezed, with a huge wave of fear in his heart.
He instantly realized that something was wrong.
With the development potential of level 46, Li Ming’s value is really too great.
If Asmara handed Li Ming over to the Xingyuan Empire, it would be a great achievement, and Grand Duke Cixue would probably be very happy.
With the core ruins and Li Ming, Asmara is about to go to heaven.
Asmara and Gabriel did not react much. They had long known about Li Ming's development potential. Seeing that the other party was so "rampant", they just frowned slightly.
"I remember you once tested his development potential, and it was only level sixteen..." Gabriel said in a deep voice.
He had no feelings for Li Ming, but he still remembered Qinglong's threats to him last time.
He originally wanted to get the specific origin of Qinglong from Li Ming. He had already planned that if the other party did not cooperate honestly, he would definitely search his memory.
As a result, he was really shocked by the other party's development potential.
Even Ronan tried to stop him. This man was too valuable, and there was no hatred between them, so he could be recruited into his team.
Although Ronan is his bodyguard, he was assigned by his father and essentially puts his father's interests first.
Therefore, he immediately told Duke Cixue about Li Ming's development potential.
His father contacted him the next moment and asked him to ensure that this person fell into his hands safely.
"It might be his teacher's doing." Asmara shook her head, her eyes flickering. "What did the Bloodthirsty Duke say?"
"We must hold it in our hands." Gabriel uttered a few words.
Gabriel added, his face dark, "Even if he's unwilling to surrender, the genetic lock must be engraved on him. If we can't get it, we can't let him fall into the hands of others."
Ford's heart skipped a beat. He engraved a genetic lock, which was equivalent to putting on a dog leash, to force Li Ming to surrender.
"If it weren't for the possibility that he might be kidnapped by Azure Dragon on the way, my father would have even wanted to send him away from here immediately."
Asmara's face changed, and she felt a sense of regret. Since Grand Duke Thornblood knew about this, Li Ming had nothing to do with him anymore.
Forty-six levels of development potential!
She couldn't help but glance at Gabriel. This guy went to capture Li Ming, which was obviously mixed with personal hatred towards Qinglong.
However, she didn't expect that he would discover Li Ming's development potential by accident, otherwise she could have kept this matter secret.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Ford couldn't help but sigh secretly that valuable people will be welcomed no matter where they are.
Click!
The door of the room opened, and the male and female interrogators subconsciously looked back and saw someone calling them out.
They were nervous and quickly packed up their things. When they left, they didn't dare to look at Li Ming.
"Are you going to betray your teacher?" Asmara's voice came, and she and Gabriel walked in.
"If you are not prepared to join us, no matter how high your development potential is, it will be of no value."
"It's hard to say. It depends on your price. As for Qinglong..." Li Ming smiled faintly, "His intentions towards me are not pure. I won't hide it from you. I have been thinking about leaving him for a long time."
"Then why did you leave Blue Star?" Asmara frowned.
"We were young back then..." Li Ming said with a sigh.
