StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 631 Is a Talent, But Shut Up for Two Years
"I know." Augustus leaned on the rosewood chair with intricately carved patterns, and relaxed and comfortably touched a glass of wine with Reynolds next to him. He drank the amber wine, but his words made Orlan on the opposite side The colonel changed his face:
"In my impression, you are one of the most wanted criminals."

As Augustus said, his eyes fell on the purple tapestries in the dining room, but he sneered.The hipsters of the Koprulu Sector would argue that there's really no need for wealthy people to fill their houses to show off their wealth unless they're desperate to show it off to everyone.

"Former federal rebels? At the very least, they have to be dragged to New Folsom." Renault said, glancing at Orlan.

While the first and second leaders of the empire were threatening people, Tychus enjoyed the food and wine on his own.He has always liked to eat and drink with Augustus, and he is a virtue with that royal cerebrate who gained thirty kilograms in one winter.

On the other side, the heavens can learn from this. Hearing this, the thick lips of the former federal colonel were trembling. He quickly argued: "Since General Duke was captured by you, the Alpha Squadron has long existed in name only. Wait until Earth People took Tarsonis and dissolved the Commonwealth Parliament, and we had to go our separate ways."

"Some of my comrades-in-arms in the past joined anti-imperial organizations like the Federal Revival Movement, but I didn't." Orlan said hastily: "After the Federation fell, I knew that the New Empire couldn't tolerate the accomplices of the Federal Government in the past, so I had to find them." Some like-minded partners went to the port of the dead to start a mercenary business, and whoever bids the most will work for him."

Just like Orlan's mercenary nature of inconsistency, his words cannot be trusted.To this day, Colonel Orlan is still dressed as a federal soldier in the past, and even wears a Tyrannian Federation flag on his shoulders.Apparently, he's also obsessed with reminiscing about the glory days of the Confederacy past.

There are fewer and fewer people like this in today's Tyrannian Empire, but there are always people who are still dreaming of bringing the old Federation that has collapsed and sunk to the bottom of the water back to light.

"If you're doing legal business, we don't have to compete with you." Renault nodded, "But why did you get involved with a guy like O'Bannon?"

"Are you still working for O'Bannon?" Augustus' voice also cooled down: "That's even more abetment, unforgivable!"

O'Bannon's face turned blue when he said this, as if it would be too unlucky to have a relationship with him, which didn't give him any face.But O'Bannon is well aware of how bad things he has done. Even though he has accumulated untold wealth, he is nothing more than a king among rats in the gutter in the eyes of those in power in the empire Role.

Scott O'Bannon once thought he was one of the wealthiest men in the world, and he could buy a whole section of August Grad just by peeking through his fingers.This interstellar drug lord who covered the sky with one hand also controlled the fate of thousands of people. Countless people abandoned their wives and children and sold their souls in order to obtain a few grams of drugs from him.

Even so, Scott O'Bannon still clearly understands who is the most powerful person in the Tyrannian Empire, and this person he can't afford to offend is sitting in front of him, using that Gray eagle-like eyes stared at him.

God, when he learned that Augustus Mengsk had appeared in the Devil's Bazaar, he collapsed in fright and panicked.

"O'Bannon hired me to encrypt his private network for him to ensure information security. It was just a month ago. Please forgive me, I have never intervened in his business." Orlan kept pleading , It was really scary enough.

"It's hard to say." Augustus snorted. It's hard to imagine that this dark-hearted guy still likes to tease people:
"Mr. O'Bannon, is what he said true?"

"I did spend a lot of money to ask Colonel Orlan to upgrade my security network, and I didn't allow him to intervene in my business. Of course, this kind of thing should be in my own hands." What a shrewd person O'Bannon is, It is natural to know that Augustus is trying to provoke their relationship so that criminals can bite dogs.

"You want to exonerate Orlan?" While Augustus was speaking, O'Bannon's waiter brought another good cigar and lit it for him.He could tell the truth. Orlan was just a mercenary, not qualified to intervene in O'Bannon's drug business, and the drug lords would only leave such things to their confidants.

"You're fair and just, and I'm just telling the truth." Many will call O'Bannon a "little man" because he sits like a velvet-pillowed man on that gorgeous ursodont sofa. creepy, evil doll.In fact, the dwarf was the most greedy and cruel person Augustus had ever seen.

"I have always only talked about business and not about relationships. Those who are capable can receive preferential treatment from me, and vice versa." Don't care what they've done in the past."

O'Bannon has read an e-book from the ancient times of the earth, which tells the story of three ancient kingdoms fighting for hegemony.And he likes one of the characters very much, and he likes his style of doing things very much.O'Bannon was able to make a fortune because of his meritocracy.

"It sounds like you're a good boss." Augustus stared at O'Bannon, disgusted by the man's tone and demeanor.

Leaving aside that O'Bannon is a complete scumbag, he is indeed very capable and has a deep mind.Few are immune to the telepathic mind-reading of the Führer's ghost, but O'Bannon was able to.Such a person usually has countless superficial thoughts that are used to hide the deepest intentions of the heart, so as to deceive those with whom he deals.

"Many people are willing to deal with me, and they all feel that my price is fair." O'Bannon actually regained a bit of dignity and confidence in front of Emperor Augustus during his speech: "Usually, when I hire people to do things, Once it’s done, it’s just a shot and two pieces.”

What was in front of him was the ruler of an empire, and just showing no timidity in front of Emperor Augustus could be called excellent psychological quality.

While speaking, O'Bannon turned over the holographic projector that Colonel Orlan handed over.This holographic projector can be regarded as an old device, and it also uses an old-fashioned recording disc. It can be called quite retro, and it is also a mini pocket compared to ordinary equipment.

After O'Bannon struggled to open more than a dozen security settings such as fingerprint lock, voiceprint lock, and genetic lock, the holographic projection device was slowly turned on.

"It records the customers who have done business with me over the years, and even established a file." O'Bannon said through gritted teeth.Now that he is doomed, other people should not think about it. The crime he committed has long been settled without concealing the crime, and all he can beg for is his life.

He knew that Augustus came to find him in order to sweep away the large criminal organizations in the empire and rectify corruption in some parts of the empire world.

"Hope it's worth your life." Augustus' expression cooled down.

Augustus will not let O'Bannon go. Whether it is from the perspective of personal feelings or the king of a country, it is impossible for him to allow a generation of drug lords to go unpunished.As for whether there will be another person to replace O'Bannon after he is arrested, it can be said that this is certain.

As long as there are dark corners in this sector, evil will not stop taking root.

Since the old Tyranid Federation government has become more and more corrupt, drugs have become more and more rampant in various federal worlds.For those interested in thrills, drugs are easy and cheap to obtain at first, but once hooked, it is extremely difficult to get out.

Although the government of the Tyrannian Empire banned drugs, this kind of thing was always banned, especially in the fringe world far away from Korha.

"More than enough," O'Bannon said.

Augustus looked up the information of the holographic projector silently, his face was as cold as a glacier.

It clearly records how many drugs O'Bannon has manufactured and sold over the years, especially under the crackdown by the Empire in recent years, such a tight commodity is always easy to sell.

And the reason why O'Bannon was able to enter the market into the core world of the Tyrannian Empire must be protected by many high-ranking imperial officials.

"Governor of Borea!" Renault next to him widened his eyes: "What is this kid doing!"

Beria has a similar climate to Braxis, with cold weather and snow-capped mountains and valleys dotting the planet's dark blue surface.Strictly speaking, this is an affiliated colony established for military and scientific research purposes, and it is also a resource-based world. There are not many residents on it and the settlements are distributed near military bases.

The Governor of Siberia was also born in the Revolutionary Party, and he was considered the most promising one before appearing on this list.Beria may be just a place of bitter cold, but it's just a bit of experience, and it won't be long before it will be transferred back to the core world.

I didn't think about it, it's just that this person couldn't bear it anymore, and used his power to provide shelter for drug lords, and might even get involved with the army. This is absolutely impossible for Augustus to tolerate.

"It even involved the entire Haven Customs Department. They actually allowed drugs to flow into the refugee camp in such a grandiose manner." Augustus slammed the table hard, shaking his mouth numb, startling Tychus who was wolfing down Had to hiccup.

Not only that, O'Bannon's trading network involves hundreds of people, each of whom is a powerful figure in the imperial government.Augustus knew he couldn't put an end to corruption and crime, but he was furious when he learned that the sheriffs of the fringe world were helping drug dealers.

The truly heinous parts had long since been destroyed by O'Bannon, but even that was enough in the device.

"They are all revolutionaries, and they did not betray His Majesty even in the most difficult time." Matt said: "But what they are doing now is no different from disregarding human life."

"The effect is too bad!" Tychus said immediately.

"Shameless!" Raynor said.

"This will cost your life." After a while, Augustus closed the pocket-sized holographic projection: "Not only that, but if you further cooperate with the empire's anti-corruption work, there will be preferential treatment."

"Of course, my life is in your hands." For a person like O'Bannon who has seen the rich and powerful, the more he has seen the rich, the more he will cherish his life.

"This empire is too big. After a long time, it is inevitable that people's minds will change." Renault was as angry as Augustus, after all, the Tyrann Empire was the foundation of their old buddies.

It has been almost six years since Augustus ascended the throne.Six years is enough to change many things, enough to make people completely unrecognizable.

"Matt, give this to Ogbo's people and let them do this." Augustus knocked on the table and said emphatically.

"Tell them my attitude, never tolerate, never let go, I want a list now."

"I'll do it right away," Matt said.

"The emperor's list scares so many people." The gloating Tychus didn't care about politics, and he didn't even bother to think about it.

"Unfortunately, I know you are up there occasionally." Raynor's words made Tychus shut up.

"Very good, very good." Augustus said a few words very well, but the storm that was brewing on his face suddenly disappeared, and he drank the port wine calmly, as if this Little things are not enough to make him angry.

"You don't need to pay attention to these scumbags until they are all imprisoned." Augustus looked at O'Bannon again: "How much do you know about the gang of pirates in this star area?"

"We have contacts with Chimera pirates, scavengers, and Kemorian pirates." O'Bannon knew that this was his chance to mitigate his guilt: "I know several base camps of these pirates, and I also know their contact information. .”

"Kel Morian pirates are indeed a scourge." Augustus nodded.

Since the time of the revolutionaries, the Chimera pirates have been beaten many times by Augustus, and now they are retreating in the territory of the Umoyan United States.The scavenger pirates have already been torn apart by Orega, and they are not worth mentioning at all.

On the contrary, the Kel Morian pirates have recently become more and more likely to become a major unstable factor in the Tyrann Empire, and have become a hidden danger to the internal security of the empire that cannot be ignored.

As the economy of the Kelmorian Commonwealth tends to collapse, the prices of various territories within the Commonwealth are soaring, and the unemployment rate is soaring. More and more Kelmorians choose to leave their homes, migrate to other planets, do business, or become bandits. .

Even if Prince Arcturus has ordered the Immigration Bureau to play the banner: "For all those who want to leave that wasteland in search of a better life, Keha is a safe haven for all of you." It doesn't help.

"I can also hack into the security network of these pirate bases for you." Colonel Orland seized the opportunity and said, "I hope this will atone for your crime."

"In the Port of the Dead, Colonel Orlan is a well-known cracking expert. It is no effort for him to hack into the empire's security network." The voice of the head of state ghost shadow was very soft, but everyone present could just hear it.

"I never said that I invaded the empire's network." Orlan waved his hands again and again: "Absolutely not!"

"Of course, if you don't do that, I'll throw you into the wormhole." Augustus smiled kindly.

"Shut it up first!"
