Colonial Suit

Chapter 458: Using Public Office for Personal Gain!

Blood瞳 and Heck advanced silently through the steel corridor. Heck was telling Blood瞳 some secrets.

It turned out that the forces of the universe mercenaries were not monolithic. Just like all forces have factions, the universe mercenaries inevitably had competition and internal strife. Especially in the Fourth World, the factional disputes of the universe mercenaries were even more fierce and distinct. Many times, it even reached the point of being blatant. Except for maintaining consistency with hostile forces such as space pirates, mercenary confrontations could occur in any field and any space. Even when performing tasks, there was life-and-death competition.

There was no other reason than the status of the Fourth World being too important. This was the dividing line between mechanical civilization and energy civilization. At the same time, it was also the highest level dominated by humans in the entire universe. Countless resources gathered here from every corner of the universe. In addition to spurring a highly prosperous civilization, it also spurred human ambition. Countless resources meant the growth of emerging forces such as families, and proximity to the Third World meant access to advanced civilization technologies and equipment. The top civilization dominated by humans meant influence over the entire universe's power structure. With so many factors coming together, even extraordinary figures like planetary-level beings could not stay out of it.

You must know that even planetary-level beings need resources. The more advanced the universe warrior, the rarer the medicines and equipment they need. The greater the responsibilities and obligations they bear. Without enough power and resources to support them, would they all be left to drink the northwest wind? Even Heck at the time demanded astronomical rewards for helping the Romick family. This was enough to show how great the need was. It was only because the appetite of the planetary level was too great that ordinary forces could not satisfy it, so it was not known.

But in any case, Ker斯's behavior this time surprised Heck somewhat.

You should know that in today's Fourth World, the forces of the universe mercenaries are mainly divided into four factions. Among them, Adam's New Human Alliance is one faction, and there are three other factions with different purposes. And Ker斯 is a member of an organization called the Sea of ​​Nothingness. This organization is also known as the Interstellar Coordination Collective. The purpose is to unite the majority of human forces and resources to form a trans-galactic, universe-wide resource coordination array. To promote certain civilizations into the Third World.

Undoubtedly, this is a terrifying organization that looks peaceful but hides bloodshed. Because no one would be willing to have their resources coordinated by others. That means exploitation and plunder. Therefore, in order to promote this purpose, Ker斯's Sea of ​​Nothingness has carried out countless unknown wars. Executing their will through blood and slaughter.

But these had nothing to do with Heck. He was a member of the Fourth World's independent fighters. Never participating in any factional or power disputes. That's why he was surprised and angry at Ker斯's behavior.

At his level, very few people would openly express hostility like this. Even the space pirates, who were sworn enemies, would maintain respect when facing Heck. This was the most basic respect for planetary-level warriors.

But today, Ker斯 proposed to personally verify Blood瞳's level. This undoubtedly touched Heck's reverse scale.

Everyone knew that Blood瞳 was brought by him. According to common sense, not to mention personally verifying, even the formal procedures should be reduced or exempted. It was even possible to pass with Heck's guarantee. Otherwise, where did those second-generation ancestors who hang out in the mercenary headquarters come from?

But Ker斯 not only did not, but also specifically proposed to personally verify Blood瞳, and said some irresponsible rants. This made Heck very annoyed. His face was even more gloomy, like dark clouds.

He vaguely felt that it would not be simple. Could it be that factional disputes had already affected the normal operation of the universe mercenaries? If that was the case, was this Los Melt also under Ker斯's control?

Heck was not afraid of challenges, but if this matter was as troublesome as he expected, it would be a big problem. Los Melt was not an ordinary branch. Only when he reached this stage would he know how important this war fortress was. It could be said that this was one of the most core branches of the universe mercenaries in the Fourth World. In any case, this fortress could not be regarded as a private toy. Otherwise, it would inevitably produce unpredictable consequences.

The steel corridor was as silent as death, with only the footsteps of Heck and Blood瞳. Listening to Heck's narration, Blood瞳 finally had a preliminary understanding of the mercenary factions in the Fourth World. He was also full of curiosity about Ker斯, who he was about to meet.

What kind of person could be so tough when facing Heck? Did he really have the strength to compete with Heck? Or was it because of something else?

Blood瞳 had no answer. But it made him feel a strong interest in this Ker斯.

Time passed little by little. Five minutes later, the two finally arrived in front of a magnificent room. This was the most luxurious residential area in the Sixth District. It was also the core area of ​​the entire fortress.

Through a solid alloy door. The two entered the room. Blood瞳 also saw this tough Ker斯.

An old man with white hair, nearing the end of his life.

"Haha, Heck, I heard you were back. I rushed over to wait for you. You guy, you ran off to the low-level world to make trouble, causing a lot of waves... How is it, do you have any good deals to take care of me recently?"

To Blood瞳's surprise, this Ker斯 with white hair had an extremely loud voice, and his face was radiant, showing no sign of dying. And looking at his smiling face, it was as if he was an old friend of Heck's. Where was the hostility?

"Hey, my dear Ker斯, it's been a long time... I heard you recently went to the Fifth World, did you find a new prey again? I said, your Sea of ​​Nothingness has expanded again, I should be the one to take care of, right..." Heck also greeted him with a smile.

The two embraced in the room. Both looked happy to meet an old friend.

But for some reason, Blood瞳 faintly heard some discordant voices.

"Damn old bastard, you pissed me off this time. Don't blame me for going crazy if you don't give me an explanation." Heck said in Ker斯's ear with a smile.

"Don't worry, there will be an explanation. But it may make you even more unhappy." Ker斯 also replied with a smile. With a look that said, what can you do to me?

"Hahahaha... Ker斯, you are so humorous." Heck laughed and hammered Ker斯's back hard. Damn Ker斯, your wings are hardened...

"Hahahaha... Heck, you are not bad either." Ker斯 also laughed, but his expression was like dried orange peel. Damn Heck, you hit so hard...

Blood瞳 broke out in a cold sweat... What kind of people are these...

"Okay, let me introduce you. This is Ker斯. The controller of the Underworld Star, the master of Eternal Underworld." After the two hugged for a while, Heck finally let go of Ker斯 and said to Blood瞳. Then he nodded to Ker斯. "He is Blood瞳, my... a vassal of a friend."

After saying this, Heck also transmitted a strand of thought to Blood瞳. "Ker斯 is a member of the Nine Star Shattering Kings, nicknamed Underworld Fang."

Nine Star Shattering Kings!!

Blood瞳's heart suddenly jumped! This was the first time he had seen a member of the Nine Star Shattering Kings other than Heck. Unexpectedly, it was such an unremarkable, dying old man. But Blood瞳 would not ignore him. Because he knew very well what kind of terrifying existence the Nine Star Shattering Kings were!!

Those were the real powerhouses standing at the top of the food chain in the Fourth World. Even a single breath could cause cosmic turbulence. This could be seen from Heck's performance. But don't forget, no matter how powerful Heck was, he was just one person, while this Ker斯 represented a force, a group! Undoubtedly, in terms of influence, Heck was obviously at a disadvantage.

A guy that cannot be ignored... Blood瞳 silently defined Ker斯.

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

The two sat down in the room. After a few scantily clad and hot-bodied maids served drinks. Heck took a sip of the wine and said to Ker斯.

"Speak, you old undead. What are you planning this time? I heard you want to personally verify my junior. Don't tell me you are very idle, so idle that you don't know what to do."

"If that's the case, I don't mind making you busier."

Heck was Heck, with just one sentence he was imposing and did not care about Ker斯's face. In fact, this was already his greatest tolerance. If he hadn't been in a good mood recently, just Ker斯's provocation this time would have given him an unforgettable lesson.

The planetary level's most untouchable playboy was not just a false name.

But to Heck's surprise, today's Ker斯 seemed to be a little different.

If it had been in the past, this sentence would have been enough to make Ker斯 feel guilty. But today, Ker斯 just smiled slightly. He raised his glass to Heck.

"Don't misunderstand. My dear Heck. I just think the current situation of the branch is too chaotic recently. You should know that since the mercenary explosion, our verification procedures have not been strict enough, and many guys have been fishing in troubled waters. Of course, I can't say there is anything wrong with taking care of inheritance. But if this continues, our competitiveness will lag behind the space pirates." (Note: The mercenary explosion refers to the era when the universe mercenaries opened the application system and greatly increased the number of mercenaries. It was described in the previous part of this book.)

"So, as the supreme leader of Los Melt. I feel responsible for changing this situation." Ker斯 said with a smile. He drank the wine in his glass.

"............" Heck was silent, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared. His fingers tapped on the table a few times. He said calmly.

"So... you are for the sake of rules?"

"Of course." Ker斯 replied with a fake smile.

"Where to start?"

"Of course, from here..." Ker斯 replied. Then he clapped his hands. Several huge light screens immediately popped out in the room. Some images also appeared inside.

"That is!?" Blood瞳's pupils suddenly contracted. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Those images... were actually Robby and others...

What exactly is this Ker斯... trying to do!!??
