Colonial Suit

Xue Tong was unconscious for a long time this time, so long that it almost exceeded Carrie's patience.

He hadn't left his room for a full seven days, leading people to wonder if something had happened to him. If the skies above Serrariton weren't still thick with Void Purple Lightning, Carrie would have almost sent someone to force their way in.

The reason being, while Xue Tong was unconscious, the Fifth World was experiencing great turmoil.

The mastermind Carrie had been waiting for had finally appeared.

It turned out to be the Seven Mist Group, a well-known and influential family in the Fifth World.

Like the Romick family, the Seven Mist Group was a significant giant in the Fifth World, also with a broad foundation in the energy sector, controlling a large number of energy engine production and energy pipeline laying in the Fifth World. However, unlike the Romick family's ore business, the Seven Mist Group mainly operated in manufacturing, specializing in the research and development of advanced engines. Its ultra-compressed ion engines almost dominated the Fifth World's advanced armor market, being one of the most efficient and powerful engines in the Fifth World.

Originally, the Romick family and the Seven Mist Group were also partners, once joining hands to dominate the Fifth World and set the rules. Therefore, Carrie never expected that they would be plotting behind the scenes.

What made Carrie even more uneasy was that Mina had also appeared, becoming the leader of a vassal family of the Seven Mist Group, controlling as many as three large fleets. As the former head of the Romick family, she knew many family secrets, and her defection made Carrie more wary than a frontal war, and even more apprehensive.

The Seven Mist Group chose a very opportune moment to appear, just after Xue Tong had carried out a large-scale slaughter and stopped the Alliance's offensive.

At that time, Carrie had just organized seven family fleets, intending to strike a painful blow while the Anti-Romick Alliance's morale was low. However, she never expected that just as the fleets entered the field and became entangled in battle with the Anti-Romick Alliance, the Seven Mist Group's family fleets would suddenly appear behind the Romick family's fleets like ghosts, using high-altitude jumps to forcibly break into the Romick family's main formation, releasing hundreds of Meteor-level warriors at the same time, and crushing the Romick family's fleet defense line with just one blow.

At that time, Loken, the Romick family's fleet commander, was still fully engaged in repelling the Anti-Romick Alliance's fierce attack, so he naturally couldn't stop this defeat.

It wasn't until they were defeated that he realized that the commander leading this sneak attack was Mina, this ruthless woman. It was because she knew the Romick family's secrets so well that she was able to suddenly lead the fleet behind the Romick family's main formation through an abandoned star gate left by the Romick family in this star field, achieving success with one blow.

Even Carrie didn't know about the secrecy of that star gate, which showed how deeply she had been hiding.

As a result of this battle, the Romick family's fleet was almost crippled, losing two star fields in a row, and directly retreating to outside the star gate closest to Serrariton. If the Shuke family's heavy assault fleet hadn't suddenly appeared at a critical moment, the Romick family might have been unable to recover.

After the war, Mina laughed wildly and left decisively, leaving only a few fleets trapped at the star gate. Blocking this star gate was equivalent to blocking the Romick family's main access channel. As vast as the Fifth World was, there was no longer any room for the Romick family to maneuver.

The situation had developed to the point where it was no longer a war that the Romick family could bear alone. In fact, the Seven Mist Group was already three points stronger than the Romick family. In addition to the previous alliance of three major forces, the Romick family no longer had any chance of winning, whether on the frontal battlefield or in resource integration. Even without Mina's sneak attack, the Romick family wouldn't have been able to hold on for long. Although the Shuke family was helping with all its strength, it couldn't withstand so many forces, and it was about to retreat to defend itself.

It could be said that the Romick family had reached its last stand. If Xue Tong didn't appear again, perhaps next month, or maybe tomorrow, the Romick family would disintegrate and cease to exist.

The atmosphere in Serrariton was extremely tense, and the entire planet had been fortified. A large number of floating turrets patrolled the outer space, while below was an endless expanse of Void Purple Lightning.

In the floating castle, Carrie was pacing anxiously, her fiery figure barely concealed by a light纱, but she had lost her usual charm.

Beside her, Cowboy Number Five's expression was calm, and he was quietly tinkering with his firearms. On the table in front of him, a dense array of gun parts were laid out, emitting a faint blue light.

"Why... hasn't he woken up yet? Did something really happen?" Carrie couldn't help but ask after pacing back and forth several times.

"It's rare to see such anxiety on you. It doesn't suit you," Cowboy Number Five replied without looking up, assembling several parts together. With a slight click, it became a pistol.

"The Lord says, 'If one is to be destroyed, he must first be made mad.' Why... do you worry?"

"Pfft." Carrie chuckled. "When did you start talking like Mr. Robbie? Or are you planning to believe in his teachings too?"

"Not really," Cowboy Number Five laughed. "I just think it's funny to have an ace in the hole while watching those people outside acting so aggressively."

"Maybe they don't expect Planetary-level beings to interfere in the Fifth World. But now that I think about it, if I hadn't received Lord Heck's promise, I wouldn't have believed it either," Carrie stopped and picked up a glass of wine from the table with a smile. "But the current situation also lets me know that my previous efforts were not in vain. The clowns have finally jumped out. Even my dear mother has brought out her last trump card."

"It's hard to imagine that she has such close ties with the Seven Mist Group. If she were allowed to control the Romick family for a while longer, wouldn't she bring the entire family under the Seven Mist Group's name?"

"That's not necessarily true. As the head of the Romick family, it's definitely better than being a vassal of the Seven Mist Group, unless she was originally a member of the Seven Mist Group. It's hard to investigate this. The family history is always a mess," Cowboy Number Five said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter," Carrie waved her hand. "Anyway, everything should end now. I really want to see the despair on their faces when they break through that star gate, only to find that everything was in vain."

"When are you planning to release the news?" Cowboy Number Five raised an eyebrow and asked softly.

"Soon... soon..." Carrie raised her head, looking at the endless Void Purple Lightning in the sky. Her voice became lighter and lighter. "I'm waiting for Xue Tong to wake up. At that time, I'll have a greater chance of success."

"You're not willing to take any risks," Cowboy Number Five chuckled helplessly. Then he suddenly said, "But the way you look, it seems like you want more than just a victory. I heard you disbanded the First Fleet?"

"Some things always need people to operate. I think it's time to reveal some of the Romick family's strength. Our family has endured for too long... too long for this day..." Carrie replied softly, then revealed a charming smile. "Do you think the Seven Mist Group can withstand the attack of three Death Stars?"

"I see..." Cowboy Number Five revealed a wry smile, shaking his head repeatedly. "Your methods are probably no less impressive than your mother's. But how come I don't know that the family has three Death Stars?"

"Some secrets are only known to those who truly inherit the family. I think even my mother wouldn't have thought of the Romick family's true strength," Carrie replied. At the end, she lowered her head again and said with some regret, "She once sat in this position, but she was never recognized by the Romick family's ancestors. It's quite pitiful to think about it."

The latest novel is first published on 69 Books Ba!!

"Sure enough... the old guys in our family are all perverts," Cowboy Number Five laughed, but he didn't ask any further. Because he knew that the following things belonged to the Romick family's secrets. This ancient family, which had been passed down for who knows how many years, must have extremely amazing secrets. He, a distant relative, naturally couldn't delve too deeply.

As for how Carrie obtained the ancestors' recognition, it was even more beyond his understanding.

So the only thing to worry about right now is Xue Tong...

His hands flickered across the table, and in an instant, all the parts were assembled into guns. Cowboy Number Five stood up and carefully began to store these guns on his body. His movements were slow, but even at Carrie's distance, she couldn't see where he was hiding the guns. She could only see him pick up a pistol, and the pistol would disappear without a trace in an instant.

"Are you mercenaries all monsters?" Carrie quietly watched Cowboy Number Five 'perform' and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm just a rookie. The real monster is down below," Cowboy Number Five pointed to his feet.

Watching his movements, Carrie's expression also became serious. She pondered for a while and said worriedly, "I don't know how Mr. Xue Tong is doing. I'm worried... he won't wake up."

"That's impossible," Cowboy Number Five shrugged and replied easily. "The reason you're worried is because you've never really known him. But I've witnessed him create countless miracles from the beginning. You can't understand his tenacity. Sometimes I even wonder if he'll still crawl out of the ruins and continue to live when the entire universe is destroyed. His will to survive is really strong, so strong that it's unbelievable."

"Then this time..."

"This time will be no exception," Cowboy Number Five replied affirmatively. His gaze also fell on the Void Purple Lightning in the sky. "Maybe someone can defeat him, but they will never kill him, because he is an immortal man."

"I only hope... that when he wakes up, he doesn't cause too much commotion. You know that Serrariton can't withstand too much stimulation right now."

Cowboy Number Five said with a wry smile. Before he could finish speaking, the entire floating castle began to tremble violently. Immediately afterwards, the Void Purple Lightning in the sky quickly gathered, instantly forming a huge ball of purple lightning in the sky.

With a deafening roar, the floating castle suddenly exploded from the center, spreading out a circle of purple-red shockwaves.

Visible to the naked eye, the entire floating castle was cut in two...!
