Abyss Solo-Chapter 511 - 228 Confrontation_2

Griss slumped back into his seat, took a sip of warm water, and left a noticeable ’lip mark’ on the edge of the cup.

"We continue with the previous issue, Ming, you know what kind of crime it is to buy and sell noble titles, right?

"This matter, you handled very smoothly, I mean, you didn’t expose too many flaws, but having no flaws is also a flaw in itself. The Godoys are just ordinary nobles, it only takes a look at their source of funds and tax records, and the problem will quickly come to light.

"You should know that Godoy bought an apartment in the Emperor Star Circle."

Yang Ming nodded, "Father has told me about it, it was bought on a loan, this does not prove anything."

"If you want me to cover up this issue for you, talk to me honestly," Griss frowned, "I don’t want to personally ruin a young man with a promising future."

Yang Ming was somewhat silent.

Griss wondered, "Do you really think that this sort of noble title trading can be concealed? You are now a political commentary star; you have many rivals. As soon as someone raises an objection, you and Godoy will have to go to the Noble Court for genetic sequence verification on the spot."

"Tsck," Yang Ming shrugged, "Alright, I admit I may have messed this up, but this has nothing to do with the Godoy family."

Griss said, "If this gets out, Godoy will be the main one punished, you’ll only get a few years in prison and a hefty fine."

Yang Ming fell silent again, thumb gently rubbing the tip of his finger, with a trace of thought in his eyes.

"Think about Lady Daly," Griss said, "and those two cute little ones, they are all innocent."

Yang Ming asked, "Is there a solution?"

He looked up at Griss, frowning, "You’ve been threatening me with this issue the whole time, exaggerating its danger, and holding my father’s safety hostage to me, you must have another purpose."

"Yes," Griss said, "as long as you help me, I can vouch for you and treat the buying and selling of titles as part of our plan, this way you and Godoy can both be exonerated."

Yang Ming leaned back, "Help you? Help you with what?"

"Draw out the White Ghost."

Griss’s smile grew more confident, he set the laser pistol aside, with the muzzle always pointed at Yang Ming.

Griss spoke quickly:

"After discovering your problem, a plan sprouted in my mind, you are a bold and reckless person.

"In fact, over the past month, I’ve thought many times about creating public opinion to force the White Ghost out, also contacting famous personalities on Yaha Star and nearby planets who have many fans. But those personalities are afraid of offending the White Ghost and bringing death upon themselves, never daring to attack the White Ghost too much.

"You are different. You’re also a hero in the eyes of the people, with the cards of a famous detective to protect you.

"Now is when you have the most fans, as long as you stand up to declare war on the White Ghost, I guarantee you can get even more traffic."

Yang Ming:...

"Sounds like I’m not scared," Yang Ming cursed, "You want me to attack the White Ghost? A terrifying force capable of annihilating Insect Swarms, who plays the Empire’s tech departments for fools, the White Ghost? Better to send me directly to prison."

Griss said indifferently, "You can give up on the Godoy family, right? According to my investigation—I’ve watched all the surveillance videos I could find on Saka Star, you two hit it off, didn’t you?"

"I really hate being threatened."

Yang Ming got up and paced back and forth, then turned around and cursed:

"Captain Griss, I always thought you were an upright and honorable person."

"If I were upright and honorable, you’d currently be dealing with the Noble Council and the Elder Court enforcement team."

Griss smiled:

"This is a transaction, I can help you cover up the noble title trading, isn’t this a generous return? Otherwise, this danger will follow you for life."

"You’re despicable!"

"Oh, think about it, my friend," Griss said in a seductive bass voice, "I’m a top fan of the White Ghost, but my job requires me to find him, this is my last chance."

Minutes later, Yang Ming sat back down opposite Griss.

"Tell me your plan, what do I need to do? I can’t directly insult the White Ghost, I’m a fan too."

"We’ll try to avoid it as much as possible."

Griss spoke slowly:

"The plan is simple, I’m certain the White Ghost is currently on Yaha Star. The star is now surrounded by fleets, and passenger and cargo traffic are subjected to the highest level of inspection.

"Travelers need to undergo biometric checks, the White Ghost is unlikely to slip away.

"Such a level of inspection also incurs a huge cost, there’s a lot of pressure on me, my head could be chopped off by my superiors any moment.

"First step of the plan: we set up a fake website, spread some extreme opinions to stigmatize the White Ghost to a certain degree, then you stand out to question the White Ghost, to steer public opinion, I’ll handle making it bigger.

"The White Ghost is extremely proud, he won’t let you tarnish his reputation like that. If you issue a challenge, he’s likely to come out and confront you."

Yang Ming: "A certain probability?"

"Yes, only a certain probability," Griss sighed, "You don’t understand how terrifying the White Ghost is. For me, this is the only chance."

Yang Ming rubbed his temple, his mind racing.

This situation is utterly absurd; absurdity has opened its door to more absurdity, and absurdity has come home.
