The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 657 - 37: I-type Demon God Mechanic Soldier Forging Blueprint!_2

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised by Lu Feng's performance in the previous battle.

It wasn't that he was surprised by Lu Feng himself.

But rather surprised by the transformation [Seed of Misfortune] had brought about in Lu Feng.

Lu Yuan had witnessed the entire latter half of Lu Feng's battle with the woman with braids.

Lu Feng, as a mortal, managed to withstand a level four Mecha, though it was a struggle, but that final "vomit" attack upon closing in was truly a highlight.

"It seems Lu Feng has already activated part of the abilities of [Seed of Misfortune]..."

As an ordinary person, Lu Feng certainly couldn't spew acid capable of nearly corroding the shell of a level four Mecha.

That must be a special ability bestowed by the transformation from [Seed of Misfortune].

Moreover, after the transformation by [Seed of Misfortune], Lu Feng's physical condition seems to have improved greatly in various aspects.

Whether it's his physique, speed, or recovery abilities.

"Did the people from the Defense Bureau leave?"

Lu Yuan walked over to Lu Feng and casually asked.

"Yes."

Lu Feng nodded, replied softly, "Dong Mu used some connections, everything went smoothly, and twenty-three involved miners including Wolff have all been taken away...

When the judgment comes, part of the embezzled money they've taken over the years should be recoverable..."

"Hmm."

Lu Yuan nodded, not paying too much attention.

Just as he had said before, Wolff and his group were just a bunch of insects.

If Lu Yuan wanted, he could deal with them at any time.

He just hadn't expected this group of guys to be so ruthless and black-hearted, taking preemptive action before he caused them trouble.

They even hired Star Thief assassins.

Seizing others' property, murder, and colluding with Star Thieves...

These crimes should be enough to have Wolff and his gang spend the rest of their lives on a garbage star.

They brought this upon themselves.

The swift resolution of this matter made Lu Yuan feel fortunate to have Dong Mu, such a convenient "patron" as a well-connected figure locally in Lilva.

Although Dong Mu was somewhat crafty and superficial, with Lu Lingfeng's connection, he wouldn't hesitate to provide help in these trivial matters.

It saved Lu Yuan a lot of trouble.

The miners plotting to harm the mine owner without being exposed is certainly due to collusion among them.

Once it exploded, not a single miner at the active mining site was innocent, and all were taken away by the Defense Bureau.

This led to the Lu Family mine having to enter a shutdown state.

Lu Yuan didn't mind, rather he found the now-empty mine site, with all machines stopped, a rare moment of peace.

However, keeping it shut down like this isn't a solution.

"You should recruit a new batch of people..."

Lu Yuan instructed Lu Feng.

Not only does the mine need professional miners to maintain operations, but the scrap mine recycling company he's partnering with Dong Mu also needs some people to put on appearances.

"Next, it's just a matter of waiting for scrap mine resources to be delivered continuously.

Going all out in seclusion, restoring strength, and aiming for higher..."

Lu Yuan's gaze flickered as he thought secretly.

.....

Red Diamond City.

Defense Bureau.

Wolff sat in the airtight solitary cell, his expression calm, his back straight, showing no sign of panic.

"Creak, creak—"

The thick iron door of the cell slowly rose, and the sudden bright light made Wolff squint slightly.

Two uniformed guards strode in.

"Have you considered?"

One of them plopped down in front of Wolff and casually asked, "Ready to confess?"

Wolff remained silent, just coldly staring at them.

Seeing his demeanor, the guard sneered.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you confess or not; the evidence of your crimes of murder, embezzlement, and colluding with Star Thieves is conclusive.

This is just a formality."

"After midnight tonight, your charges will be finalized.

There's no need even to go to the trial; what's waiting for you... is just the exile ship."

Wolff listened quietly until the guard finished speaking, then opened his mouth.

"I want to make a phone call."

The guard blinked, chuckled, "Oh? You want to call your lawyer?"

"No."

Wolff shook his head: "I need to call a family member.

My younger brother, Hank Rubio.

He is about to graduate from the Imperial First Mechanic University and has already been selected for the Spirit Court Guard reserves.

He... can prove my innocence."

Wolff spoke deliberately, word by word.

The two guards were momentarily stunned.

A few seconds later, their expressions gradually became serious.

One of the guards turned and walked out of the cell.

A moment later, the departing guard returned at a jog.

He leaned over to the other guard's ear and whispered a few words.

After their exchange, the guard who had spoken to Wolff earlier gave him a deep look and said: "Come out with us."

Wolff stood up calmly, his demeanor quite composed.

The sudden one-eighty in the guards' attitude didn't surprise him too much.

It seemed that everything was within his expectations.

Yes.

Wolff was not afraid after being arrested.

He was different from others.

He had a younger brother who was about to become a Spirit Court Guard.

Compared to the status of a Spirit Court Guard, what's a mere baronial noble?

A few charges of murder, collusion with Star Thieves... what could they possibly count as?

As long as his promising genius brother made a single call, the chief of the Red Diamond City Defense Bureau would personally escort him out obediently.

If it got out of hand... even the Lord of Gems might personally come to see him.

Wasn't there news recently that when a Spirit Court Guard came to Lilva Star, the Lord of Gems personally went to greet them?

On a remote planet like Lilva, the status of a relative of a Spirit Court Guard was... heavy enough to crush a large group of people.

With this thought, Wolff's confidence grew, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upward slightly.

He could imagine everything that was about to happen next.

Moreover, he was more eager to see just how astonished that noble young master, the real son of the mine owner, would be if he returned unharmed to the original mining site.

"So what if you can beat a level four Star Thief Mechanician?

Hank is level seven!

A distinguished level seven Spirit Court Guard Mecha Master!"

With full confidence, Wolff followed the two guards to the entrance of a room.

The door opened, and the guard leading the way gave him a look, signaling him to go inside.

Wolff strode into the room but was suddenly startled upon seeing the setup inside.

It was not a bright and clean VIP reception room, there was no steaming tea, and there certainly was no Defense Bureau chief with a sycophantic smile...

What lay before him was a dimly lit interrogation room, with several guards with gloomy expressions staring at him while holding various torture tools.

With a loud "bang," the door slammed shut behind Wolff.

Wolff finally sensed something amiss, and his face changed dramatically.

"What do you want?"

"I told you, my brother is a distinguished graduate of the Imperial University, about to be appointed to the Spirit Court Guard! The Spirit Court Guard!.."

"Aaaaaah!.."

Wolff's screams echoed faintly from the room and never ceased.

The guard standing at the door smirked contemptuously and spat on the ground, saying, "Spirit Court Guard?!

Hah! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The things people dare to claim.

I could say my old man is one of the ten top Commanders of the Empire..."

"This guy is bold, colluding with miners, resorting to deceit, and has killed several acting mine owners.

This time, he's even more ruthless, wanting to target the real son of the mine owner..."

"Scum.

He wants to harm the nephew of the chief's good friend.

The chief instructed us to entertain him well these two days.

Come the day after tomorrow, we'll load him onto a spaceship, take him to a nearby barren planet, and execute him by firing squad!"

...

Night falls.

The moonlight was like water.

It poured cold and clear into the quiet small house through a half-open window.

Lu Yuan sat on the floor of the room, before him... lay a pile of scattered items —

ritual items related to communicating with the Demon God of the Devouring Spirit Clan, to obtain the blueprints for the Demon God Mechanic Soldier.
