The Mecha, seamless in its construction, flipped open from the lower chest area, tumbling Li Ming out onto the ground where he lay on his back, gasping for air.
His entire right arm looked like charred wood, cracked open with gaps revealing the crimson flesh within.
The forty-two times Thunder Element enhancement was too fierce; his body couldn’t keep up and nearly turned him to charcoal.
The ion sword was also partially damaged, its ion generation device clearly overloaded, still sparking with electricity.
"You... you... are you okay?" Feder dragged his body over, approaching carefully.
Li Ming, who was lying on the ground, glanced at him but said nothing.
"We’re actually still alive..." Feder felt as though he had fallen into a virtual scene, stumbling and collapsing next to Li Ming.
"If you don’t want to live, there’s a gun over there." Li Ming caught his breath and got up.
The noise just made was loud; he didn’t know if it had been noticed outside, so he had to take advantage of the chaos to snatch something.
He had less than 800,000 metal energy left on him. He found a black metal from last time, but even extracting the remaining metal energy, it was still less than 900,000.
For now, it could only meet the demand for the Tanluo Monarch Biocatalyst; he would have to leave the "Evolution Theory" behind for the time being.
A Torch attack, losing things was nothing unusual; this was the best opportunity.
But no one from Torch had escaped... Well, I am the last eyewitness, I can say whatever I want to say.
That Feder... Li Ming’s eyes flickered.
Feder grimaced, the situation having been so dire earlier that he hadn’t paid much attention to the injuries on his body. Now, severe pain swept over him from all sides.
However, the relief of surviving the calamity kept him thankful.
Li Ming... he muttered in his heart, the scenes of what had just happened flashing through his mind, leaving him in awe.
This man was indeed unfathomable, endless tactics up his sleeve, and in the end, even killed a Firework Apostle.
However, his publicly known status was only a D-level Life Form; this man probably had many secrets.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but get a bit more scheming; just as he turned to speak, he felt a chill on his neck, his face stiffening.
At some unknown point, Li Ming had already placed the ion sword to his neck. Even without the plasma, Feder had no doubts about the other’s resolve to kill him.
You... what is this?" Feder was stunned, trying to force a smile and move backwards.
"Your Highness," Li Ming’s gaze was somber, "Let’s match our stories."
"What do you mean?" Feder asked cautiously, "We are close friends who have been through life and death together; there’s no need to treat me this way."
Li Ming lamented, "That’s true, but just now, in a life-or-death situation, I talked about things like joining the Torch Organization."
"A stalling tactic, that was a stalling tactic, I understand," Feder loudly said, "You couldn’t possibly have those intentions."
"You understand me." Li Ming smiled, then added, "But, it remains a risk."
"Let’s make it clear then, your father might be interested in both me and my mentor, so this little risk turns into a big one."
Li Ming took a step forward, "I’m someone who likes to plan ahead."
Feder’s pupils contracted, he hurriedly said, "Killing me is a loss greater than a gain, only if you survive alone can you not explain this matter."
"If I die here, the nature changes completely, it’s not something you can casually brush over; the Yitelan Civilization will definitely investigate thoroughly, and my father will never let it go."
"There really is no need for this!" he pleaded earnestly, having survived the life-threatening crisis of Torch, he did not want to die by Li Ming’s hand.
"So what you mean is, either way, it’s a dead end." Li Ming frowned.
"No, it’s not a dead end." Feder wracked his brains, not daring to bet that Li Ming wouldn’t kill him.
He exclaimed, "Leverage! You think you have leverage over me; why don’t we exchange leverage then?"
"Good idea." Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, then listened as Feder struggled, "I, once accidentally killed a person, his name was Belas, one of my subordinates, that day..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Ming frowned and interrupted, "Belas... are you sure? What kind of leverage is this?"
"Who cares? You are the son of Prince Bai Jiang, a member of the Yitelan Royal Family; whether it’s manslaughter or intentional killing, what’s it to them?"
Feder was left speechless and then heard Li Ming say reluctantly, "Your Highness, I truly intend to spare your life, yet you’re playing mind games with me."
"Then what exactly do you want?" Feder was also frustrated, having been unwittingly dragged into today’s affair.
"How about this." Li Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "Read the manifesto of the Torch Organization aloud, declare that you sincerely joined the Torch Organization, and I’ll record it."
"Impossible!" Feder declared resolutely.
"Well then." Li Ming raised his hand.
"Wait, wait..." Feder cursed silently, "Such a request is too much; if it inadvertently gets out, I only have one way out."
"No, no, you won’t die." Li Ming shook his head, earnestly analyzing, "If this video gets out, the Yitelan Royal Family will declare it a forgery first thing." freewebnσvel.cøm
"With today’s technology, it’s easy to tell if it’s a forgery..."
"That’s not important." Li Ming interrupted again, "At least in the Silver Star Cluster, if the Yitelan Civilization says it’s a forgery, then it’s a forgery."
"Then, the Yitelan Royal Family will completely sideline you, they won’t kill you; you can live out your days in peace and comfort, just without any status or power."
