The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2095. The Bourne Supremacy

Douglas Stamp was suddenly startled, raised his head and looked around at the empty surroundings, "Who are you?!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm just a friend..." the voice in the darkness said calmly.

However, Douglas Stamp shook his head and said: "Well, I don't have a friend like you. If you came to assassinate me, then I must admit that you chose the best time."

"Well, I have to thank you for this." The man in the dark said jokingly, "If you hadn't suddenly ran out, I wouldn't have had the chance to get in close contact with you. And as long as I can get in touch with you, I will naturally have a way to find you. you."

Douglas Stamp was surprised, "Were you the one who helped me out later?"

"Oh, it's rare that you still remember me when you were so drunk. You even vomited all over me, remember?" the person in the dark said, "But in order to make you vomit it out, I still took some care."

"I'm sorry Frank," Douglas Stamp whispered, then raised his voice and said, "What on earth do you want to do?!"

"I sincerely believe that we can reach some mutually beneficial cooperation agreements. You will get a great future, unimaginable wealth and status... As long as you say a word, countless planets will rotate for you, and thousands of Billions of people will serve you. Yes, that’s what we can give you.”

"Galactic Empire..." Douglas's voice deepened, and he looked around again.

"Oh, my friend, don't be nervous. The guards here, I let them sleep...peacefully." The black shadow said, "Our conversation today will not be known to any third party, I promise you. "

"You have found the wrong person! I am just a civilian!" Douglas said in a deep voice.

"But you are still the person Francis Underwood trusts most." Black Shadow said.

"He has already given up on me!"

"Well, if that were true, then I wouldn't have to expend so much energy to get to you."

"what do you want to do?"

"It's just a little bit of information... It's very simple. Some information that only people at your level can access..." Black Shadow said, "We have arranged the brightest future for you, for Francis, and for Claire. . Whether you want to leave the Principality of Dawn immediately, or want to stay and continue your work, all the wealth and power we have arranged for you will be in vain. You and Claire will become the district governor, and Francis. , there is no doubt that with his qualifications, there is no problem in becoming the Speaker of the Imperial Parliament.”

"Haha, I understand. You can't reach Frank, so you want to influence him through me?" Douglas sneered.

"Your and Francis' political careers have come to an end, Doug." Black Shadow called Douglas by his nickname seemingly very familiarly, but at this moment he was full of ridicule, "Even with our intelligence network, This conclusion can be easily reached. In fact, almost the entire Dawn Principality is talking about when their prime minister will step down..."

"This is none of your business!" Douglas growled.

"Oh, this is none of my business." Black Shadow said, "The fleet of the Galactic Empire is getting ready. Maybe in your eyes, the empire is surrounded by powerful enemies, but even so, we still keep the size of our fleet relatively small. It has expanded tenfold during the Galactic Republic. At this rate, how long do you think the Dawn Principality can last?”

"The one who loses this war must be you!" Douglas said.

"Oh, I'm glad to see you such a confident person. But the power gap can never be closed. While we can still talk about conditions, hurry up and grab what you dream of. This is The most important thing. Isn't it..." Black Shadow's voice was full of temptation.

"That's enough...get out of here!" Douglas said.

"It doesn't matter. Of course I will leave now..." Black Shadow didn't mind, "I have already placed the meeting gift for you. Remember this coordinate... This is an asteroid. Inside, I buried a Billion Empire Credits, if the opportunity is right, remember to get it.”

"Get out of here!" Douglas gritted his teeth.

"Hahahahahahaha..." The black shadow smiled wildly, and his voice gradually became smaller and disappeared.

Douglas gritted his teeth, and then he dared to pull out a blaster pistol from under his body. The man just now had an inexplicable intimidating power that prevented him from even having the slightest sense of resistance.

He walked around his villa with a pistol and turned on the lights in every room. Along the way, I saw the housekeeper, nanny, and guard, all sleeping on the ground.

He picked up the communicator, hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and dialed a message.

"I'm very busy at work now, Doug. If it's not particularly necessary, please don't come to me." Francis Underwood's calm voice came.

"Listen to me! Frank!" Douglas Stamp's voice trembled a little, "I just..."

…

The shadow put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and walked on the suburban streets. He looked very ordinary and ordinary, like an ordinary blue-collar man who had just gone to the red light district to vent for a while without telling his wife after get off work.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked around.

All the pedestrians who came out from the nightlife disappeared at some point. He was alone in the whole street.

"Alas." Heiying sighed nonchalantly, "Your response time is at least 10 minutes slower than I planned. Can you please be a little more worthy of your salary and allowances?"

He seemed to be lamenting that he was going to cause a lot of killings again.

He looked up at the deserted street, "Besides, you only sent five people to deal with me. Are you looking down on me a little too much?"

"Put down your weapons and surrender." An extremely deep voice came from the air.

The shadow scratched his head, took off his hat and threw it away, revealing a handsome but cold face, "Let me guess... Is it the Military Intelligence Department or the National Security Bureau? Wait a minute... no. It’s the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right? Then I’ve won the prize!”

He looked at the air around him and said in surprise: "Oh, I couldn't have guessed it right!"

The next second, he took a step sideways lightly. A crater suddenly appeared on the ground, and the entire sniping process was silent!

"This way... you are not polite at all." Heiying's face darkened.

Buzz!

A blood-red lightsaber shot out of his hand!

…

"I'm glad you chose to take the initiative to notify me of this, Doug." Another person called Douglas by a nickname, very rudely.

He is not tall, dressed in black, with neatly styled hair, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Solomon Lane, Minister of the Secret Intelligence Department of the Principality of Dawn. Compared to the Secret Intelligence Department, another name is even more chilling - the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

At this moment, he was holding a bottle of exquisitely packaged red wine in his hand. He looked around and said casually: "Actually, I made a bet with Kumov just now. I said you have to wait at least an hour before I contact you. Us. But you made me lose 50 yuan...you contacted us in less than 20 minutes."

He looked at Douglas Stamp with a smile on his face, but his eyes were as sinister and sharp as an eagle!

"Hurry up and find what you are looking for, and then get out!" Douglas Stamp had no good impression of these eagle dogs at all.

The biggest reason why the Ministry of Internal Affairs is so notorious is that they secretly monitor the senior officials of the Dawn Principality. Of course, only the top politicians know of their existence.

"Don't worry, there are many things we need to confirm." Solomon Lane shook the red wine in his hand, "For example, do you want to have a drink of this bottle of wine? This should be a specialty from the empire. Made from the oldest wine in the core of the galaxy One of the wineries, Silver Moon Winery, uses the finest forest blue peaches produced on the planet Kashyyyk, and then pairs it with the most advanced nanobots... This bottle of wine alone is worth at least 4 million Empire Credits. point."

"Congratulations, you have your bedtime drink tonight." Douglas Stamp said coldly.

"Ah, thank you for your generosity, I won't be polite." Solomon Lane smiled and handed the bottle of wine to a man in black next to him, and then said: "That man came over just now and said something to you. ?”

"Is this important? Shouldn't your all-powerful Ministry of Internal Affairs know every word we say immediately?" Douglas Stamp asked sarcastically.

"But this time it's different, Doug." Faced with such ridicule, Solomon Lane admitted openly, "That's a dark Jedi. We can't get too close, only within one kilometer. The defense is out there, and I think he knows we're here... This guy is awesome."

"It's also stupid. I know you are here and you still come to me." Douglas snorted coldly.

"Oh... no no no no. He is very smart." Solomon Lane raised a finger and shook it, "For example, now you are under investigation by us, but there is no doubt that you are loyal and innocent. So for you The investigation will be over soon... but this is what he wants to see the most. Who else is more innocent than a person who has just been cleared of suspicion? He only needs to give you something that no one knows, but he is. A reward full of temptations..."

He came to Douglas, and the sinister face was less than ten centimeters away from him. "Then you will keep thinking about this thing in your heart... keep thinking, keep thinking... as if there is a greedy kitten. Your heart keeps scratching. Then...what will you do...?"

Douglas stood up suddenly, pushed Solomon Lane away, and said viciously: "I have already told you about the asteroid! Don't use your tricks on me again! Give it to me now roll!!"

The next second, he was pushed to the ground by a ghost agent.

"Calm down, Doug." Solomon Lane straightened his clothes with a smile, "We will have a lot to deal with in the future."

At this time, he suddenly received a communication, raised his hand to look at it, and frowned.

"It seems that the arrest operation did not go well. Let the guy run away." Solomon Lane said calmly, "He killed five of our ghost agents, and there may be other accomplices."

"Use the money from that asteroid to cleanse your ass! A bunch of cowards!" Douglas Stamp scolded, "Let that guy run away. If he comes back and is not good for me, then you bunch of losers will be satisfied. Already?”

"Don't worry, there will be experts to handle it." Solomon Ryan smiled slightly, hooked his finger gently, and walked out with his men.

...

"Five ghost agents, all killed with one sword." A tall girl with long hair tied into a single ponytail, a slightly immature but naturally beautiful girl squatted on the ground, checking the body of one of the ghost agents.

She stood up and stretched. The girl looked about fourteen years old. Although she had not yet fully developed, her proud figure was undoubtedly revealed under the black tight combat uniform.

"From the sword marks, they are the seventh style Zhu Yue and the fourth style Ataru." In front of another body, there was another girl squatting.

She was older, already seventeen or eighteen years old. And there were colorful feathers growing on the ends of her hair! There was no doubt that this was an Ailu.

On the periphery of the scene, a huge figure was sitting on the ground. This was a giant Incholi person who was at least 3.5 meters tall! The fine dark blue scales on her body even exuded a black luster. Next to her stood a man in black clothes, with messy hair, scars on his face, and muscular body.

"Xiao Cheng, did you hear anything?" The ponytail girl shouted in the direction of a small building.

A boy who was also about thirteen years old appeared on the roof of the small building. He waved his hand and jumped down from the fifth floor.

Obviously he wanted to show off, but when he landed, he accidentally tripped and almost fell.

The boy coughed dryly and looked at the girl and said, "Sister Xiao Yan, there are three people."

"Three people?" The Ailu girl also stood up and walked over, "This is impossible, I can't be wrong about the sword marks of the lightsaber."

"Sister Talia." The Ailu girl of the youth team nodded and said, "You are right, there are indeed only two people who took action. There is also a third person, who has been watching from the side."

That's right, they are the task force of the Twilight Covenant - code name, Sky.

This boy is Zhang Xucheng, the son of Zhang Jiarui, an energy expert of Terran Heavy Industries. The other partners include General Xiao Guanghua's daughter Xiao Yan, the captain Talia from the Ailu people, Karina from the Inchori people, the computer girl Crest, and their leader and nanny: Shen Yuanhao.
