Gustav stood in front of the porthole, looking back at the direction of the Giant Lingxing, his eyes were dull.

As the spacecraft advanced, the Juling Star in his vision became smaller and smaller, like a yellow-brown ball, gradually sank into the boundless dark space. Juling Space City was no longer visible, but he knew that the Space City had fallen into the hands of the Black Market Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Group at this moment, and it would be difficult to retake it in the future.

Nearly two hundred years of hard work was destroyed within a week, without any warning in advance, which made Gustav difficult to accept.

This failure is not enough to describe the heavy losses, and it is almost wiped out.

The total value of cash, goods, and fixed assets in the city lord's mansion is over 100 billion yuan. It would be fine if these things are lost. As long as the manpower is still there, you can easily earn them back in the future by regaining control of the Space City.

But now there is no one left, and this is the biggest loss!

The armored guards that have been recruited and trained for many years are now nine out of ten, and there are less than one hundred left. More than two thousand reserve armed forces who spend countless money and resources every year will either die or escape, and in the end there will only be more than a dozen people who will be on the ship. The seven most relied on the most are even worse, almost dead, and only Gao Sheng will stay.

No one under his command can be used. Even if he is a Martial Saint, he will not be able to fight back to Space City alone to seize power. That is equivalent to dying.

Because the incident happened suddenly, before he could report the problem of Space City to the Luo family, he contacted the senior warlock a few days ago, and he was vague and did not explain in detail.

Losing control of Juling Space City is a heavy blow to the Luo family consortium. The direct income lost alone exceeds 300 billion yuan per year. Not to mention, the consortium has a large amount of shameful trade that must be carried out in Space City. Without the cover of this lawless land, these illegal trades will basically stagnate, which will have too great impact on the consortium.

"Back to Earth, how should I explain to Mr. Luo?"

Gustav was in a state of confusion. When he thought that Luo Yang might be furious about this, he was a little scared and looked bleak.

The horror of a level eight warlock is something ordinary people can't imagine. He has been following Luo Yang for more than 300 years, but every time he faces Luo Yang, he is trembling and dare not relax his vigilance because he is a martial saint.

"City Lord."

Gao Sheng came over and said carelessly: "Treat the injury."

Only then did Gustav feel pain everywhere in his body, especially the hole between the lower left chest and abdomen, which was pierced by Edmund with a spear. Not only was the wound huge, but he could even pass through his arms, but there were also a series of light-speed force spreading from the wound to his whole body, like countless tiny sharp blades, destroyed everywhere in his body.

In addition, Edmund's pistol shot away a piece of muscle, and the inner leg bone was broken, resulting in mobility inconvenience.

If an ordinary person had died after such severe injuries, he would have died long ago, and even the general could not withstand it. In other words, the Martial Saint's vitality is tenacious and can still hold on, and it is not even fatal.

However, Edmund couldn't think of it. Even his arm was cut off. This battle was a loss-making battle, and it almost made the senior generals of the mercenary group get a bargain.

Gustav carefully checked his injuries and frowned.

Such a serious injury will take at least half a year to heal. During this period, his strength plummeted to less than 30%, and even the peak high-level generals could threaten his life.

Fortunately, the spaceship is full of people, and Gao Sheng can trust it, so there should be no danger.

"but……"

A terrible thought flashed through Gustav's mind and suddenly shuddered.

He sat on the captain's throne and let his subordinates help him with the wound. He glanced over the bridge and found no abnormalities. Finally, he looked at Gao Sheng who was standing next to him and asked softly: "How many people have you taken away, and how have you arranged it?"

Gao Sheng quickly replied: "There are 93 people in total, basically all members of the armored guards. They are willing to continue to follow the city lord. I have checked them all, and there is definitely no problem with loyalty. I have asked them to rest and arrange them in the cabin on the ship."

"Take off your armor and check it out?" Gustav was still worried.

"Yes." Gao Sheng understood what the city lord was worried about and said seriously: "As soon as I got on the ship, I asked them to take off all their armor. They were all familiar faces and had commands. There were absolutely no outsiders who intervened in."

Gustav's face relaxed, he felt relieved, and nodded, "You're doing a good job."

"This is what it should be." Gao Sheng asked with a cautious face, "City Lord, where will we go next, and will we return to Earth directly?" Ice mist is a formally registered commercial spacecraft. It is named under a transportation company and can openly enter the Earth's spaceport.

Gustav thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Kambra first and stay there for a while."

"Yes, I get it."

Gao Sheng nodded slightly. He knew that Kambra was an asteroid, not far away, just in an unmanned galaxy more than ten light years away. The Luo family consortium established a secret base in the asteroid. As a logistics transit station, the base was all its own people and was usually managed by the city lord, so it was safe to recover from the injury there.

Gustav did not want to face Luo Yang with a serious injury, so he decided to wait until the storm passed before returning to Earth and delay for a while. As for the matter of Space City, it would not be too late to report to the secret base.

He stood up and said, "I'll go back to the cabin to rest. You can watch it here, thank you for your hard work."

Gao Sheng said he didn't dare and looked respectfully at Gustav leaving the bridge.

In the luxurious captain's room, Gustav lay in the induction compartment for diagnosis and treatment. His doctor could only deal with his skin trauma, help stop bleeding, and connect broken bones. The real internal injury had to be recovered by himself. He quickly entered a meditation state, redirecting the force to drive away the external force in his body and stimulating the regeneration of the wound muscles. This was a long and time-consuming task, which would take at least one or two months to complete.

After meditating for more than ten hours, Gustav finally drove away a small part of the light-speed force and felt better. He had not been asleep for more than a week, and a deep feeling of fatigue surged up and fell asleep in the sensing compartment.

I don't know how long it took, but in the haze, Gustav heard a shock sound, and felt a warning sign, and immediately woke up from his sleep.

He turned over and jumped out of the sensing compartment, immediately noticed something was wrong, and called out: "Ice Mist."

Ice mist is the spacecraft's artificial intelligence, but it didn't appear after a few calls. I don't know if the spacecraft had a fault and the core optical brain was turned off.

No matter what the situation is, it is very bad.

Gustav's heart sinks, and this situation seems familiar. It was the same when he was in the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago. All monitoring systems and artificial intelligence always fail inexplicably.

"You are not Gao Sheng!"

Gustav shouted angrily, and then remembered that the other party might be a warlock above level six, and he might be unable to save his life. He quickly lowered his tone and tried to lower his posture and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who do you think I'll be?"

The other party asked back, his voice was far from Gao Sheng. Gustav confirmed that this person was really not Gao Sheng, but he sounded a little familiar, and his voice was very young, as if he had heard this person speak somewhere.

Gustav's mind turned sharply and he thought about it desperately, but the more anxious he was, the less effective he was, and he still couldn't remember it.

"The city lord is really a noble person who forgets things. That's right. A small person like me who is weak in strength is not worth a martial saint's concern. My life is worth at most 200 million to 300 million. Are you right about it?"

Gao Sheng on the seat started to make fun of himself, and at the same time his facial muscles changed, gradually becoming another appearance.

When Gustav heard "My life is worth at most 200 million to 300 million", his expression changed drastically because he once said something.

Last year, he was talking to Luo Yanfeng. Luo Yanfeng said he was willing to invest 100 billion yuan to seize the green sky sapling from Xin Ji, and he increased the price of 10 billion yuan to buy Xin Ji's life. He said he would not need 10 billion, just a high-level warrior and a small person. No matter how good his talent is, his life is worth at most 200 million to 300 million.

"You are Xin Ji!"

Gustav blurted out, and the other party's appearance changed and revealed his true face. It was indeed Xin Ji!

He never dreamed that Xin Ji would be sitting in front of him!

How could it be Xin Ji?

Didn’t this kid hide under the protection of the Lu family? How did he track down the Space City? What is the relationship with Zhuang Xiaolin? He is the killer who subverted his rule in Space City?

From beginning to end, there was only one enemy, that was the "Federal No. 1 Genius" who was not taken seriously before!

Gustav stood there on the spot, his mind was in chaos, and countless questions emerged, feeling like he was about to drive himself crazy.

After more than ten seconds, Gustav was shocked and finally thought of the most critical question.

Where did Xin Ji hear what he said? He thought seriously that when he discussed the reward of Xin Ji with Luo Yanfeng for a hundred billion yuan last year, there was a third person present, that was the butler Faulkner. He and Mr. Luo would definitely not reveal it, that was Faulkner.

Faulkner died at Zhuang Xiaolin's hands. Now it seems that Zhuang Xiaolin must have been disguised as Xin Ji.

Gustav finally reacted and looked at Xin Ji in shock, his face full of disbelief.

This kid disappeared for more than a year and his strength has increased to an unimaginable state. Not only can he kill high-level generals in one minute, he can develop a elusive killer skill, but he may also have some way to read other people's memories!

Xin Ji was not in a hurry to do something, and sat on the captain's throne with a relaxed attitude. Seeing Gustav's face changing, the weather was uncertain, but he was calm as usual, looking like he was watching a show.

"City Lord, have you figured it out?" Xin Ji asked jokingly.

"How is this possible!"

Gustav couldn't help but take two steps back and said in horror: "How did you do it? Where is Gao Sheng?"

"If it wasn't incinerated, his body should still be in Space City."

Xin Ji replied slowly that Gustav and himself were left on the entire spacecraft, and the spacecraft's system was also controlled by Augustus, so he was not afraid of leaking the secrets.

Bang!

Xin Ji hit Gustav hard with a King Kong cannon hammer, knocking him away and hitting the titanium alloy gate behind him. His injuries immediately worsened, and blood was squirting from his mouth.

With a crackling sound, an electric arc hit Gustav's body. The current continued to wrap around for a few seconds. Under the violent electric shock, Gustav's cold air for protection was shattered, and the current rushed into his body and instantly flowed all over his body. His whole body twitched and foamed at his mouth. He fainted in less than ten seconds.

Xin Ji withdrew the current and looked relaxed. After being injured, Gustav was easier to deal with than he expected, and was not as difficult as a peak senior general.

He stepped forward to pick up the alloy shackles, first interrupted Gustav's limbs without any mercy, then handcuffed his hands and feet firmly, lifted them up and placed them on the captain's throne, and then took out two pairs of shackles and handcuffed them together with the seat.

Even the seriously injured Martial Saint, Xin Ji did not dare to be careless at all.
Chapter completed!
