2097: Twilight Covenant vs. Inquisition (Part )

"We have already identified the mastermind behind this spy base through clues. Now we are sure that there are still spies hiding, but we have found their flaws. Next, our Sky Squad will bring them to justice!" In the news footage, the Elun girl Talia said with a determined look on her face.

[That's really amazing. Can you introduce your Sky Team? For example, what department you belong to? ] the reporter asked.

[We are all Force-sensitive people who have received systematic education and training. The Principality of Dawn has a more efficient, more humane and more scientific training system than the former Jedi Order. As for the department we belong to, it is still confidential for the time being. We can only say that this operation was jointly carried out by us and the National Security Agency.] Facing the camera, the Ailu girl Talia was very calm.

[As we all know, the Ailu people once had a war with the Principality of Dawn, so you are...] a reporter asked maliciously.

[The Principality of Dawn is a multi-ethnic family, and every race will be treated equally. The past does not explain anything, and now, each of us is fighting for the bright future of the Principality of Dawn.] Talia answered directly.

"Hahahaha! Those guys from the Principality of Dawn just sent a few brats to arrest us?" Looking at the news on the holographic projection, a young and handsome man laughed out loud.

This person was none other than the one who had sneaked into Douglas Stamp’s villa before and tried to bribe him—Cáceres, the Inquisitor of the Imperial Court.

"Anyway, they destroyed our connection point in just a few hours. Their strength cannot be underestimated." Another bald judge with many ferocious patterns painted on his head said gloomily, "And it happened too quickly. We can't tell whether the documents were destroyed in time when the connection point was destroyed."

"Tsk, even if they are just brats, they are still Force-sensitive. They are equivalent to Jedi apprentices. It's not a new thing for them to take action and seize a few joints that have just taken action." Caceres sneered, "But you, Angel, you are not afraid of these brats, are you? Otherwise, I will chop off all her limbs and give her to you to play with?"

The bald man named Angel actually thought about such a perverted topic seriously, and then said: "It's more interesting to play without cutting off hands and feet... Well, don't dwell on this issue. We didn't sense the other party's Force perception, so how did they find the connection point?"

Caceres leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest and said casually, "There are many ways that do not require direct contact with our Force. The most common one is retrocognition - reading the other party's information by touching the objects they have touched. When I was in the Jedi Order, I remember a guy named Quinlan Vos who was very good at this. Using retrocognition to find clues can avoid being sensed by the other party to the greatest extent. At least in the field of espionage, this ability is much more convenient than using the Force to predict directly."

"Humph! You Jedi Knights are just full of tricks." Angel showed a ferocious smile, "But the reason why you were eventually destroyed is because these things are not as useful as killing people."

"The rules and regulations of the Jedi Order... Let's not talk about it." Caceres waved his hand. "But what's the point of them showing this little brat out? To lure us to kill her, and then expose her flaws so that they can set traps around her?"

"Flaw? What flaw? The flaw of taking off clothes while I was playing with this little girl? Hahahaha!!!" Angel laughed arrogantly, "There are only a few powerful people in the Principality of Dawn. Now that Tang Xiao is not here, who are the remaining ones? Who can catch us? Hahaha!"

At this moment, an extremely cold voice suddenly came from behind them, "With your limited strength, when can you be arrogant in front of the Judge and the Priestess, Angel?" Upon hearing this voice, Caceres and Angel quickly jumped up and stood up, saluting respectfully, "Master Mas Sirrah!"

"Indeed, there are very few Force-sensitive people in the Principality of Dawn, but those who can be named are all top masters. I'm afraid that even our senior inquisitors will find it difficult to deal with the Judges and the priestesses. However, it seems that they are aware of this problem. In the past few years, they seem to have trained some apprentices. Hehehe..." In the shadows, the senior inquisitor named Mas-Seren laughed coldly.

"Lord Seren, please be advised. This could indeed be a trap." Caceres said with his head down.

"Whether it's a trap or not, it doesn't matter. Cáceres, have you handled the money?" asked the senior judge named Mas-Seren in the shadows.

"I've already dealt with it." Caceres IV was no longer as frivolous and arrogant as before, and did not dare to overstep his bounds in front of the senior judge. "After I found out that Douglas Stamp had reported our affairs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I immediately arranged for someone to move the asteroid filled with Imperial Credit Ingots."

"Very good, it seems you are still quite perceptive." Mas-Serren said, "Haha, now I want to see what the Ministry of the Interior will do when they find the asteroid based on the coordinates provided by Douglas, but find that there is nothing inside? Hahaha!"

"There is no doubt that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will blame Douglas Stamp for this. A sum of stolen money said to be 100 million imperial credit points disappeared. I don't think Solomon Ryan can take it easy." Cáceres said.

"That's right. Although we failed to bribe Douglas Stamp, at least we have planted the seeds. If the Ministry of the Interior continues to investigate Douglas, it will force him to come to our side." Mas-Serren said.

"My lord. The sky team of the Principality of Dawn is provoking us. Should we..." Caceres lowered his head, took a few quick steps to Seren, and asked in a low voice.

"Your judgment is correct. They undoubtedly want to set a trap to catch us all in one fell swoop." Mas-Serren said in a cold tone, "But in this case, we should do the opposite. Angel, find a way to find the little girl in the news. Cáceres, if the situation changes, you need to go to reinforce immediately."

"Yes!"

"Yes!" Angel and Cáceres responded in unison.

"I will first try to contact Cheng Shitao, the Minister of Defense of the Principality of Dawn, according to the original plan." Sairen said, "He has just taken office recently, and there may be loopholes that we can exploit."
