Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 576 - 446: Willfulness

The Supreme Kushnier was originally on Hope No.2 Star, observing the local government search for Tian Hei.

He didn't personally search, knowing that as long as he was on the Second Star, the government would naturally feel the pressure.

He truly believed that that person called "Wen Xin" should be related to Meng Ningge's death.

As for the relationship between Black Heaven and Wen Xin, he wasn't particularly sure.

But it didn't matter; he thought, who else but the only person known to have contact with Wen Xin?

During the time Kushnier was stationed on the Second Star, the government indeed intensively investigated, but the results… were a bit touching.

Nevertheless, no matter what, the suspects were gradually narrowing down, which was indisputable.

Until he heard that Wei Shile had an accident on Star No. 4!

Without a word, Kushnier directly boarded a starship, heading straight to Star No. 4.

Meng Ningge was his direct descendant, but that was just a blood relation.

Kushnier had never even met Meng Ningge; he subconsciously felt this person was very important to the family and had to pursue the murderer.

But Wei Shile was different; he was the pillar of his power, and he was very aware of Wei Shile's capabilities.

He even anticipated his counterpart's achievement of becoming Supreme, by then not viewing him as a subordinate.

Kushnier knew Wei Shile's character clearly; otherwise, he wouldn't provide so many resources or teach so much.

Once Wei Shile achieved Supreme, two Supremes mutually depending on each other, he could still be faintly superior. Isn't that good?

In simple terms, to Kushnier, Wei Shile was far more important than Meng Ningge!

So he went straight to Star No. 4 without further ado.

Upon arrival, the first person Kushnier met was Dennis, "Is there confirmed news? Was it the act of a Supreme?"

Dennis was a bit displeased hearing this; she was already two hundred years old, with far more seniority than him.

And she was genuinely born of the Imperial, while he was a Supreme from the Garbage Star.

Currently, Dennis is one of the Supremes in charge of Star No. 3, and Kushnier… was just a Supreme from the military.

He truly wasn't in charge of Star No. 3. Originally, it was quite simple, since the Garbage Star he originated from was under Star No. 3 to prevent local Supremes from growing too powerful.

But Dennis also recognized his connection with Wei Shile and didn't bother arguing with him.

After explaining the relevant situation, she solemnly warned him, "I understand your feelings, but… it must be according to the rules!"

"Don't talk to me about rules!" Kushnier, seething with anger, stated, "I only know, my person is missing!"

"So are you blaming me?" Dennis sneered disdainfully, "Was I the one who approved him to go out drinking during the exchange?"

Her words, reasonable yet unreasonable, allowed two C-levels to go out shopping, so going outside was actually permissible.

Even after the exchange, the Fourth War Zone would organize outings for them to eat, drink and have fun.

But the military has its own rules; Wei Shile's going out during the exchange meant he was still undertaking interrogation duties.

So saying he shouldn't have gone out is not entirely unfounded—after all, weren't there other Supremes in the Third War Zone? Was it hard to notify them?

"Are we speaking bureaucratically?" Kushnier sneered and walked away, "I can do that too!"

Yet despite his show of being enraged, he still understood what he should and shouldn't do.

Kushnier meticulously investigated Wei Shile's recent situation and concluded: Wei Shile didn't stand in anyone's way.

He was well aware, even as a Supreme, that he always kept a low profile, ensuring he wouldn't seriously offend other Supremes.

Now that Wei Shile wasn't blocking anyone, how could any Supreme take action against him?

But if it wasn't a Supreme, who could silently take someone away?

No matter Wei Shile's combat power, his foundation was exceptionally strong; even if ambushed, he couldn't resist at all?

Then Kushnier began trying to meddle in various matters.

First, he wanted to initiate a massive investigation into the origin of the parcels.

He felt the incident happening on Star No. 4 was too peculiar—following it might uncover who gave the orders.

The instigator certainly had a subjective motive, Kushnier believed it would help expose his potential enemies.

He was that persistent in his deeds, knowing full well Black Heaven might not know Wen Xin's whereabouts, he still wanted to pressure the Second Star.

However, not only Dennis opposed his suggestion, but even the Fourth War Zone was displeased.

The Third War Zone opposed purely because… Wei Shile's presiding over the review was just coincidental, nothing inevitable about it.

The Fourth War Zone thought this Supreme was trying to stir up trouble, dragging them into it.

It's been over ten days since the anonymous delivery; what can you find by restarting the investigation?

Kushnier also wanted to intervene in the interrogation of Tesla, but was again rejected.

This was something internal to the Third War Zone, not something for him to mess with.

In desperation, he requested to perceive everywhere on Star No. 4, and this request was approved.

Anyway, this planet is neither too big nor too small; if you're not chary of getting tired, you can investigate it thoroughly yourself.

The government even considerately assigned him two A-levels to coordinate in various areas to avoid disturbing the public.

Two days later, he returned disappointed—on this planet, he hadn't sensed any trace related to Wei Shile.

During these two days, he basically didn't sleep, continuously releasing perception, clearly showing his obsession.

Then he applied again, requesting to inspect outbound flights—at least the Third War Zone should be involved.

Kushnier instinctively felt that Wei Shile had already been killed, but in case he was still alive, he couldn't just let him be smuggled away, could he?

This time, people from the Third War Zone supported him, but the Star No. 4 Official Mansion wasn't happy.

The discussion resulted in the decision that the military from the Third War Zone could assist with the inspection on Star No. 4, but couldn't take the leading role.

Kushnier was very reluctant, always trying to make the Third War Zone lead the inspection.

The Third War Zone didn't oppose it, but Dennis felt that this guy was a bit obsessed—this was clearly detrimental to the friendship between the two planets.

However, Kushnier no longer belonged to the Star No. 3 sequence.

And Star No. 4 knew that his persistence had its reasons; this argument would not be counted against the Third War Zone.

But the opposition from the Star No. 4 Official Mansion was quite intense: On our territory, let you lead the inspection? That's just bullying!

So what if you are Supreme? We also have a Supreme!

This situation left people from the Fourth War Zone quite speechless.

The military certainly wanted to vie for power with the government, but you people from the Third War Zone doing this on Star No. 4 might be a bit too much, right?

After finishing his initial reception duties, Hals still checked in at the Engineering College every day.

Even Qu Jianlei had to quietly admire this guy's character; it was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people.

This person was not only punctual but also didn't just go through the motions, always finding topics to talk about each time.

Recently, he'd been complaining about Kushnier's various bizarre maneuvers, and as someone from the Fourth War Zone, he was indeed quite astounded.

Of course, Hals didn't dare call the Supreme by name, directly using "that one" instead.

"That one said again, insist on keeping the inspection power in his hands... you say, being a dignified Supreme, wouldn't it be better to kill a few people to establish authority?"

Qu Jianlei understood, the chubby guy was genuinely complaining.

The Supreme was almost considered to have a get-out-of-jail-free card, but forcefully killing someone from the government would still lead to becoming a Redeemer.

Kushnier was so persistent, yet unwilling to kill—it's just laughable.

However, for the military, if he indeed killed someone, the biggest beneficiary would be the Fourth War Zone, which is why Hals mocked him.

The chubby guy did have a rather cynical mindset.

Qu Jianlei was a bit curious, "Is he planning to offend everyone?"

Hals dismissed it, "I think not necessarily, as a Supreme, he can't be dumber than me; maybe he has other plans."

Qu Jianlei, hearing this, also got a shiver: Yeah, Kushnier might not have a good temper, but he shouldn't be brainless, right?

It was indeed this unintentional comment from the chubby guy that reminded him never to underestimate anyone.

After Hals left, Qu Jianlei found Xiang Xue and asked if she could help inquire about Kushnier's movements.

The recent changes on Star No. 4 also caught Xiang Xue's attention. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Especially Wei Shile's disappearance, which escalated the inspections throughout Fengrao City, even making shopping very inconvenient.

Luckily, they were in the academy, relatively independent from society, so they weren't too affected.

Xiang Xue highly suspected this was Qu Jianlei's handiwork—probably related to the anonymous package she helped deliver.

But since they didn't mention it, she couldn't take the initiative to ask, and Aunt Liu had also warned her not to speculate about Panda heedlessly, saying that guy was dangerous.

Now, she finally could ask openly, "Are you planning to do something against that late-coming Supreme?"

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at the words, "I'm telling you, too much curiosity isn't good."

Xiang Xue rolled her eyes back at him, "Is that the attitude of someone asking for help?"

"Alright," Aunt Liu couldn't stand it anymore.

Technically, as a guard, she shouldn't speak out casually, but every time Miss saw Panda, she couldn't help but act silly.

Knowing the reason, she felt it was okay to interrupt now, "Miss, you still owe him a favor."

"Okay then," Xiang Xue willingly agreed, "Aunt Liu, help facilitate communication and see if you can find out the whereabouts of that one."

Aunt Liu heard this and helplessly shrugged: Seems like I'm going to be troubled.

But she couldn't refuse this request.

Even if Panda hadn't saved Xiang Xue twice before, with their early involvement, it was too late to back out.

So she could only secretly hope that Panda could handle someone like Kushnier, a military big shot.

She cautiously stated, "I can't guarantee anything, but I'll have someone inquire about it."

The archaeological enthusiasts' organization was large, and anyone with a hobby could become an affiliate, but official members were few.

However, she didn't let Qu Jianlei's trust down; the next afternoon, she came back.

"Got some useful information, but can't continue further."
