Hold on, the system and I have never been angry
Chapter 97 Family Power
Compared to the tense atmosphere in the southwestern border galaxy, there was joy inside the Tristan base.
"Hahahahahahahahaha, I'm sure Lan Ting must be furious at this moment!"
"Who told him to ruin our business so many times? Involving his son this time can be seen as a lesson for the couple, so that they know not to stretch their hands too far! If you reach into other people's pockets and infringe on their interests, you will have to pay the price."
"That crazy woman Sang Mo must have had a fascinating expression when she knew her son was in trouble. It's a pity that I didn't get to see it with my own eyes, tsk tsk."
"Speaking of their son, Lan Jue is quite capable. I've seen many people pay money and leave messages to kill him. He has basically released all the monsters raised by those weirdos in the technical department, but he is still alive and well."
"It's all thanks to the Constellation series mecha. If it weren't for the Hurricane, he would have died eight hundred times already."
Everyone was talking at once, holding various kinds of wine in their hands, as if they were having a party.
After the joke, they noticed that the man who appeared at the head seat at some point remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Everyone immediately stopped laughing and returned to their seats.
The long-haired man at the head seat propped up his chin and glanced at everyone present with an expressionless face, "Keep laughing, why don't you laugh?"
You could hear a pin drop.
The long-haired man slammed a portable crystal screen as thin as a cicada's wing onto the round table and said, "Who is checking the transmission personnel? Get out!"
A man came out, rubbing his hands and looking uneasy: "Lord Earl, I am in charge. May I ask what happened?"
"Nathan, you have always been careful and cautious in doing things. I used to trust you the most, but I didn't expect you to make such a mistake." Earl's three white eyes narrowed dangerously under his mask: "Look for yourself, the hooded man who follows Lan Jue's team has three mechas, and his combat power is far superior to others. You have never reported this to me?!"
The man named Nathan picked up the crystal screen on the table, scanned the face on the screen with his wristband, and checked it over and over on his optical computer. No matter how he identified it, the result was the same, showing that the man with wheat-colored skin and short silver-gray blue hair was a starship engineer of the Blue Star Empire, named Yi Chang. Looking left and right, he could not find any suspicious points. Nathan asked in confusion: "Sir, is there anything wrong with this man? I really can't see it."
Earl picked up the controller at hand and smashed Nathan's head, causing him to bleed. He pointed at Nathan's nose and cursed: "Your good son, but he is just a piece of trash! How dare you entrust the screening task to such a fool! You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong with him? Tell me, can a starship engineer own three mechas at the same time?!"
Nathan choked, not knowing how to respond.
"For all the years you've worked for me," Earl put his two fingers together and hooked them together. A burly masked man walked in with a bloody man on his shoulder. He threw the dying man on his shoulder to the ground and stepped on the back of his head. Earl picked up the masked man's gun and threw it in front of Nathan: "Kill him, and I'll let you go this time."
Nathan recognized his youngest son and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy: "Sir! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have let my son finish my work for me! I was hospitalized due to a sudden illness at the time, and I had no choice! Please kill me! Don't kill my son! My daughter-in-law was just confirmed to be pregnant a few days ago, and the child needs a father. Please spare my son's life!"
Earl's eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and he let out a low laugh from his throat, "It is precisely because I know that you will soon have a grandson that I decided to let you go. With a grandson, even if your son dies, it won't mean you will have no descendants, right?"
This logic is so weird, because he has a grandson, the son can die? Nathan couldn't agree with it, and opened his mouth to say something, but the masked man shot through the temple of Nathan's youngest son who was lying on the ground. Seeing Nathan collapse and scream, he stuffed a bullet into Nathan's open mouth, and the screaming stopped abruptly. The masked man grabbed Nathan's hair at the back of his head and grinned, "Today I only want your youngest son's life. It's a special favor because of your years of loyalty. If you dare to make a mistake again, your eldest daughter's life will be in danger! If I remember correctly, she is working in the federal government now."
Looking at his son's body gradually losing temperature on the ground, Nathan's eyes were red with anger. In the end, he could only nod in humiliation and said vaguely, "I will never dare to do it again..."
"Mond, let him go." Earl had seen enough of the show and signaled the burly man to let go. He pointed a laser pen at the photo on the screen and said to Nathan, "I'll give you three days. I want to see all the information about this man, or his body. Understand?"
Nathan knelt down and said, "Yes, Lord Earl."
"The population transfer work of the southwestern border star system has been completed. According to the original plan, when the population is reduced to one-tenth, the final game will begin, and no one will be left alive." Earl stood up and adjusted his cloak: "The meeting is adjourned."

The auction is getting better.
When he returned to the private room, someone happened to be patrolling the room to count the number of people. Seeing that Jian Tingzhi was distracted by controlling his holographic projection, Lu Jinzhao stopped and watched for a while.
Chitose stroked his chin. "I didn't expect that he knows you so well. Every move is very consistent with your image, not OOC at all. So you knew it from the beginning and deliberately gave him the controller?"
"No, I didn't expect that at all."
"I don't believe it."
"At the time, I felt that Jian Tingzhi's personal style was not as strong as Lan Jue's, so it was not easy to be exposed."
After the patrol personnel left, Lu Jinzhao appeared in the house quietly. While several people were still at the door, he turned off the projection and switched it back.
He put on his coat and mask and said, "Call it a day."
Lan Jue was a little surprised: "You're not going to buy anything at the auction?"
Qiansui was even more surprised than him: "What? Is there a minimum purchase for the auction? Do I have to buy something before I can leave?"
Lan Jue: "That's not the case... We are short of supplies right now, maybe there are items that can be used."
Qiansui: "Oh, no need, I have plenty of good things. Besides, we are not in the capital of the Blue Star Empire now, and you are not the son of an admiral who can spend money lavishly, but a pauper."
Lan Jue: “…”
Lu Jinzhao stretched out his hand and rubbed Qiansui's face twice: "Don't leave in a hurry. Leaving early will attract attention. Stay and see the finale baby."
On the stage, the auctioneer had just finished the process of the previous item and was introducing the next treasure to be put on stage. The etiquette lady in gorgeous clothes walked onto the stage, holding a tray with two exquisite palm-sized boxes. The auctioneer introduced: "The next item is a very special one, the fourth eye of the endangered race of the Phantom Eye Clan from the Golden Eye Galaxy."
The auctioneer began to introduce the Phantom Eye Clan in a torrent of words.
The Golden Eye Galaxy is named after its nebula composed of more than 46,000 planets, which is arranged in a shape like a golden eye. There are tens of thousands of races in the entire galaxy, but only one race is very special, the Phantom Eye Clan.
They are born with three eyes and can see many things that ordinary creatures cannot see. However, there is only a one in a billion chance that a special individual will be born with a fourth eye.
The fourth eye is usually located in the chest and can cause hallucinations without any medium.
A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. How can a peaceful race that does not fight with the world be a match for the racial colonizers? Their three eyes may have some special abilities, but unfortunately they were exterminated too quickly. Before the foreign colonizers had time to conduct in-depth research, the Phantom Eyes tribe had already disappeared from the long river of history.
As the box was opened, a cloud of colorful gas slowly rose up, and the distinguished guests present all looked at it with curiosity evident in their eyes.
The mist dissipated, revealing the true contents of the box. Rather than an eye, it looked more like a metal flower, with a pupil-like object spinning faintly in the center of the flower.
Tu Ling, Tu Yue, Lan Jue and Jian Tingzhi suddenly stood up from their seats, stood in front of the transparent cover, and stared at it in fascination.
"Wow, it's an instant hallucination, there's something there." Qiansui stretched out his claws and waved them in front of his host: "Brother Chao, why don't you react?"
Lu Jinzhao supported his chin with one hand, focusing his eyes in the air: "If you mean that there is another Qiansui rolling around in front of me, acting like a spoiled child."
"You were hallucinating and you actually saw me?" Qiansui rubbed his paws a little embarrassedly: "Wow, so you love me so much?"
Qiansui was about to be touched when he caught a glimpse of the SSS-level ring on his host's slender finger, and his ears instantly turned into airplane ears: "Humph, I told you that I usually act like a spoiled child and roll around a lot, so why would I need to make up an illusion to deceive you, and you're lying to me again!"
Most of the guests at the scene fell into a dream, and the auctioneer also became stunned. The etiquette lady closed the lid of the box to stop the phantom pupil from emitting energy. Soon, everyone came back to their senses.
"Name your price! I want it!" A voice processed by a voice changer came from a private room on the third floor.
After regaining consciousness, Tu Ling stroked his chest in fear and said, "It seems that the special abilities of the Huantong Clan are well-deserved."
Lan Jue's face was solemn: "Such a treasure can appear here. It seems that President Orlando is related to the masked man."
The bidding became more and more intense, and it seemed that everyone was willing to spend a fortune for this eyeball.
"I'll give you five thousand heads!"
"I'll pay six thousand!"
"I'll offer 10,000, but I'm still short of a few. I'll go out and kill them later!"
"Tsk, don't show off if you don't have the ability. You know how to kill someone on sight? I can do that too! I can call my men to come together right now!"
The auctioneer smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we don't accept installments. Please pay on the spot."
Eventually, the beads were bought by a middle-aged man with a big belly for 20,000 heads.
Before the next item was brought up, a masked waiter came in with a laptop on a tray, indicating that he was on a call.
Tu Ling asked: "Phone? Who is it for?"
Waiter: "It's your young master calling."
Without waiting for Tu Ling and the others to react, Qiansui quickly stretched out his claws: "Come on, come on, give it to me."
The waiter approached, and Lu Jinzhao picked up the optical computer, motioned the waiter to wait outside, and asked Qiansui to turn on the shielding function, "Hello?"
A lazy voice came from the other side: "I knew it was you as soon as I heard your voice. You stole 300 heads from me and didn't help me. Humph, I caught you now. The holder of the gem badge is a VIP among VIPs. How dare you impersonate me? The person in charge called me just now and asked me why I didn't go. I said that I asked other family members to go, which is considered to be a help to you. How are you going to repay me?"
The person on the other end didn't sound like a good person. Chitose made a "yo yo yo" sound: "So what do you want?"
"Who's talking?" The male voice on the other side paused and said, "Is there anyone else on your side?"
Chitose: "I am your father."
"You! How rude! Aren't you afraid that I will tell the people in Orlando that you are a fake and not from the Capa family at all?"
Qiansui rubbed his host's neck, looking nonchalant: "It doesn't matter. At worst, I can blow this place up and get some heads. Many people here look rich or noble, so they must be very important, right? If they die, it's all your fault."
"You're so cruel. Remember my number, we'll see each other again."
"No." Lu Jinzhao hung up the phone, opened the door and put the laptop back on the waiter's tray. While the Qiansui barrier was still open, he briefly explained the whole story to the others, "That's about it."
"Kappa family...I remember he had golden hair, right?"
"Yes."
Tu Ling thought for a moment, then frowned: "This is not the place to talk, let's go back and talk."
"it is good."
The few of them were in no mood to pay attention to the remaining items. They finally waited until the auction was over and immediately left the auction and returned to House No. 17.
"Everyone go and pack up. We will have a meeting downstairs in ten minutes."
Tu Ling changed into comfortable home clothes, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and used the optical computer to project a three-dimensional map of the city in the air: "I forgot to tell you before that the reason why my wife and I chose this city to station is because we found that there are many forces in this city that divide the territory by family. We feel something is wrong and suspect that they have some connection with the masked man. We want to investigate nearby, but unfortunately, the minions we caught several times were all clueless, and we can hardly contact the people in the power center."
Lan Jue nodded: "Indeed. I was teleported with dozens of classmates at the same time, but our landing points were not the same. It is hard to imagine how these families were teleported in batches. No one would believe if they said they had no connection with the masked man."
Tu Yue manipulated it twice, and soon, the spheres of influence of different colors appeared: "There are currently nine known family forces, and the Kappa family can be ranked in the top three. If you offend them, I'm afraid they won't let you go easily."
"It doesn't matter. I won't live here for long." Lu Jinzhao changed his face and tapped on his computer: "This is the host data I copied from the auction house's main control room today. I need you to help me screen and decrypt it to see if I can find a breakthrough. I sent the other half to the mobile fortress."
Tu Ling snapped his fingers: "OK, if there are no other questions, let's divide the work and cooperate. There is strength in numbers."
Chitose raised his paw: "Well, I have a question."
Tu Ling nodded: "You ask."
Qiansui looked at Tu Ling, then at Tu Yue: "Are you two orthopedics specialists?"
Lu Jinzhao: "? What are you asking?"
Tu Ling: "? What is orthopedics?"
