Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Not only did he investigate the truth behind the disappearance of 13 people, he also implicated the underground exchange of the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce. What's even more outrageous is that all the truth was voluntarily confessed by the real culprit who personally planned the disappearance case.

Eli, the star zone felon with a bounty of 7900 million Bei by Universal Company, actually chose to surrender himself and took the initiative to explain how they used the souls of the undead who died unjustly in the transaction, transformed their resentment into life energy, induced them to become monsters, and then swallowed the 13 people into their stomachs.

The truth came out, but no one in the huge conference room was happy about it.

Everyone looked solemn, some even a little frightened.

This time, the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce seemed unable to handle the aftermath properly. Even the interstellar mercenaries they hired at high prices took the initiative to submit surrender registration forms to the Siyang City Police.

If the investigation into underground exchanges continues, many of them will be affected.

How did they climb to their current position step by step?

What have you purchased on the exchange?

What price was paid?

These are questions that don't bear further exploration.

"In this way, my work in Siyang City is completed."

As the meeting came to an end, Duan Mingyuan said that he still had some finishing work to do within the Hunter Association.

Although Xinghe is an experienced liaison and is very good at handling the complex interpersonal relationships in Siyang City, he was too deeply influenced by the former Imperial Hunting Court, and his way of thinking is no longer suitable for this brand new organization.

Dajiang has already started researching the candidates for the new stationmaster, and Xinghe should be an excellent deputy.

“What a happy ending.”

As soon as he walked out of the door, Duan Mingyuan met Coyote Twelve who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.

Even after submitting a surrender registration form and confessing the crimes he had committed, the Siyang City Police Department did not restrict his personal freedom.

The revolver that was submitted as evidence was also returned to his possession.

This is a historical issue.

The current laws of Blue Star cannot try an interstellar mercenary. According to the Chamber of Commerce's procedures, they have to organize the criminal materials and send them to the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Only after the Chamber of Commerce's investigation and review will they make a judgment on Coyote Twelve.

Of course, this is just theory.

In fact, everyone knew that Coyote Twelve would not be punished in the end.

The greatest crime he had ever committed in this vast universe was the assassination of a corporate executive. Compared to this crime, killing a few civilians on other planets was nothing more than an extra.

But with the mediation of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce, even Universal Company did not pursue the matter any further.

"The villains are brought to justice, and all the shady businesses are exposed. It's very much in line with the happy ending of a retro movie."

Coyote Twelve changed the subject and said, "But I think you also know that I will not be punished in any substantial way. It won't be long before the member of the Forgotten Organization will succeed in escaping prison in some way."

Even if it was delivered to their door in person, the police station was unwilling to accept such a hot potato.

They don't want to be targeted by a terrorist organization like Wangxu, so the wisest decision is to take the opportunity to release them.

"And once you leave Siyang City, everything here will return to the status quo, and then you will feel that this is a fucked-up world."

Coyote Twelve exhaled a puff of smoke. This was his personal opinion on the company and the Chamber of Commerce.

He had been in a similar situation to Duan Mingyuan, or even worse.

Compared to the enemies who were killing each other on the battlefield, he hated the villains who were hiding behind the scenes and making sinister calculations even more.

“That’s not part of my job.”

Duan Mingyuan has sorted out what he learned in Siyang City and sent it to the third prince. As for how to treat the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce, it is a question that people in the court should think about.

It is easy to catch a few criminals, but fundamentally changing Siyang City is not a task that can be accomplished overnight.

All he did was to fulfill his promise to Jiu Yue, complete the work in Siyang City, and then return to the academy as soon as possible.

"If you commit a crime in the future and are wanted by the association, I will still arrest you."

"Then I look forward to our next duel."

Before returning to the contact station, Duan Mingyuan had one more place to go.

From the testimony given by Ellie and Coyote Twelve, he learned the whereabouts of the old hunter.

; Just like all the missing people before, the old hunter was targeted by the Chamber of Commerce because of his excessive curiosity. After spending seven difficult hours in the underground Chamber of Commerce, he ultimately failed to escape the fate of having his life energy drained.

His body was piled together with others and disposed of together.

Duan Mingyuan informed Xing of the news. When he arrived at the location provided by Coyote Twelve, Xing was already there. There was a tombstone in front of her. She stared at it, looking distraught.

A "dealt with" corpse naturally would not leave any traces; only some objects left behind by the corpse were piled up here.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Xing took a deep breath and asked, "Is it possible that my master..."

"The essence of resurrection is to reconstruct the life force that has not yet dissipated. Once the life energy is exhausted, there is no chance to start over again."

An expected answer.

Xing lowered her eyes.

She felt that she should be content; this was the best outcome she could imagine.

If she had not met Duan Mingyuan, she would have been dead in the alley, and Zheng Liu would have forever become one of the missing people in Siyang City.

The fact that she could stand here now was like the happy ending in those movies, so happy that it seemed unreal.

However, before she could say thank you, the soil under her feet suddenly began to move, and something seemed to be breaking out of the ground.

Xing looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a human hand.

Human hands emerged from the dirt and grasped her ankles.

"There are zombies!"

In the early morning, a woman's shrill scream echoed for a long time in the deserted suburbs.

Duan Mingyuan continued to explain, "But your master's situation is special. His life energy was not exhausted naturally, but was taken away. Therefore, I asked the person who took his life energy to give me a favor... Also, if you continue to kick him in the face, your master will probably die soon."

Small Theater No. 11:

On Thursday, late at night

The invincible Duan Mingyuan also has weaknesses, and Jiu Yue believes that she is the one who has grasped Mr. Mingyuan's weakness.

According to her long-term observation and experiments, Mr. Mingyuan is a soft-hearted person who cannot stand other people's coquetry. As long as she lies on Duan Mingyuan, speaks in a coquettish tone, and rubs his ears against him, Mr. Mingyuan will compromise.

And now, they embarked on a journey back to their mother's home.

It was late at night when we arrived at the small mountain village. The village was dark and the hotel looked like a product of the last century. There was no electricity and the owner was still using oil lamps for lighting.

What's worse is that the house is full of mosquitoes.

They are all poisonous mosquitoes, which are much larger than ordinary mosquitoes. The "buzzing" sound they make is like fighter jets patrolling in the guest rooms.

There seem to be a lot more mosquitoes this year, but there are no mosquito coils to buy around.

Just as Duan Mingyuan was trying to transform the drawer paper in the room into mosquito coils, Jiu Yue stopped him.

Tonight, September is in the form of a nine-tailed beast, with nine big furry tails that are dazzling.

"Mr. Mingyuan, did you know that a fox's tail can repel mosquitoes?"

Of course, she couldn't let Duan Mingyuan light the mosquito coils. The mosquitoes in the house were caused by her. "As long as you sleep in the fox demon's tail, you will be immune to mosquitoes."

Of course, she had her reasons for doing so.

We are about to go back to the mountains, and we must make sure Mr. Mingyuan is imbued with her scent.

In this way, other foxes in the mountains will know that Mr. Mingyuan is hers as soon as they smell him, and they will no longer have any bad ideas.

Chapter 226: A New God Must Be Established

That night, at the headquarters of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce.

Accompanied by a fading stream of light, Coyote Twelve arrived at this long-lost space station. After the Flash Star was "cocooned", it became the new home planet of the Flash tribe.

"Cowboy, I heard you hit a wall on Blue Star."

Someone was already waiting here at the folding center.

"I'm in a good mood now, don't make yourself unhappy."

Coyote Twelve glanced at the gloating woman and said coldly.

This is the headquarters of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce, so naturally one can often run into some experts whose reputations are known throughout the universe.

The burly woman in front of him, whose body transformation was no less than his, was one of them. She became famous for leading the indigenous troops of her home planet in a head-on battle with the Universal Company. The local war had lasted intermittently for nearly ten years. Due to the precious resources on the surface of the planet, the company was unable to use weapons of large-scale destruction. It had sent three Nagaeda guards, but had not been able to gain any benefits from the local Self-Defense Forces.

Because of this, this woman and her guards are regarded as one of the most valiant and warlike groups in the universe.

"I am concerned about you. This is the passion of the people on the Eastern Front."

The woman smiled carelessly and opened her mechanical arms towards Coyote Twelve, "Come, let me hug you and comfort your wounded heart."

"Get away from me."

Coyote Twelve cursed angrily, but took out a cigar and threw it to the other party, "What has the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce suddenly done this time? They summoned so many people to the headquarters, as if they were going to start an interstellar war."

He was also recalled urgently.

The Shanqi Chamber of Commerce seemed to be unconcerned about the loss of Siyang City, and the main members of the underground exchange also returned to the headquarters one after another, treating Blue Star as an abandoned pawn.

However, Coyote Twelve felt that this was a wise decision. Who knows if there are other experts like Duan Mingyuan on Blue Star.

"You are right. Interstellar war is indeed coming soon."

The woman took a puff of her cigar with great satisfaction, always looking like she was eager to cause trouble in the world.

"You crazy bitch, you finally found your chance."

Coyote Twelve knew there was only one reason why the other party was so excited, "Is the Chamber of Commerce finally going to fight the company?"

This woman had a deep feud with the Universal Company. Although the nearly ten-year war had made her troops famous in the universe, it had also caused her to suffer countless separations and deaths. It was said that more than twenty of her adjutants had died, and her parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends had all died on the front battlefield.

When she accepted the invitation from the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce, she was left with only herself and her troops.

Coyote Twelve knew that if the Chamber of Commerce and the company fought one day, this woman and her troops would definitely be the first to rush in.

"The Chamber of Commerce calls this internal evolution."

"Internal evolution?"

"After the Flash Star was transformed into a 'cocoon', the survivors of the Flash Tribe split into two groups. One group joined the Universal Company, and the other group created this space station and established the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce. However, that was not a split, but rather separate actions."

On this point, she had to admire the Semites.

After hundreds of years and several generations, the original goal has never wavered. "Another group of people has gained enough wealth, power and resources within the company, and it seems that they have finally decided to reunite the divided Semitic people."

The two largest forces in the universe joining together would certainly become a major event that would shake the entire universe.

The woman said, "This is all thanks to Blue Star."

"Bluestar? What happened to Bluestar?"

"Haven't you heard? The Blue Star people shot down the flagship of the Coordination Department of Cosmic Relations. The person they focused on training was sent to the trial yesterday. The Granite Consortium will not be able to cause any trouble in the short term. Moreover, with Bai Kou's death, the entire Mandala Consortium will fall into the hands of the Semitic people."

"Oh, internal struggle."

Coyote Twelve has never been interested in this kind of thing, which is why he didn't want to become a long-edda guard.

Becoming a guard means that he has to serve as a personal bodyguard for important company personnel every day, attend various meetings with them, and listen to their conspiracies and tricks.

Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well go to the bar, call a few hot girls, and order a few drinks. That's how life should be.

"You have gathered so many people, are you planning to directly attack the company's headquarters?"

"I've already said that this is an internal evolution. There won't be large-scale flagship bombardments or boarding battles. Only local wars will occur."

"Who is the opponent?"

"The company keeps falcons. It is said that they don't like outsiders to dictate what the company does."

"Such a big deal? This doesn't sound like a local war. The Chamber of Commerce has set its sights on the most difficult bone in the consortium."

"It's a tough nut to crack, but as long as the company's lackeys are removed, no one will be able to stop the Chamber of Commerce from moving forward... By the way, guess what their slogan is this time?"

"Anyway, it has something to do with their god of trade."

Coyote Twelve has met many Semitic people. Even if their planets are destroyed, they still think about the God of Trade.
