Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1265 First Impression of the Person Behind the Scenes (5200+ words)

Yang Bo insisted on staying until the end of the workday before leaving under the identity of Wood.

After returning to the private laboratory, he let Wood go back on his own, and then pretended to inject the restoration agent to revert to Bart's appearance!

None of this escaped Jerry the butler's notice!

"Keep a close watch on everyone and everything within two hundred kilometers of our territory's borders!"

"Raise the alert level internally by two levels!"

"Also, pay close attention to this and see what they're up to on their boat!" Yang Bo sent the yacht data of Marquis Mingde's guesthouse to Jerry's butler.

"Great!!" Butler Jerry was now in high spirits, because Bart was now the Grand Duke!
Now, when I'm out in the world, everyone who sees me bows and scrapes!

As for the family members, Butler Jerry didn't even give them a second glance.

After Bart became Grand Duke, he was able to purchase more and more advanced weapons and equipment.

After Yang Bo gave the instructions, Butler Jerry raised the territory's defenses by two levels and replaced them with higher-level energy defense towers.

More and more advanced reconnaissance equipment was released both at sea and in the air.

Some are reconnaissance devices that openly fly in the sky, while others are biomimetic reconnaissance devices.

The reconnaissance and bionic equipment that can be unlocked at the Grand Duke level is arguably even more advanced than military-grade equipment.

Of course, the price is not cheap, and it is precisely because of the high price that the military cannot equip itself on a large scale.

It can be said that Bart was among the first users, because other dukes had already established complete defense systems, and the cost of upgrading them would be too high.

Only Bart, the newly appointed Grand Duke, lacked resources, so he needed to purchase these items in large quantities, and coincidentally, Bart was not short of money.

These biomimetic reconnaissance devices have both an extremely long lifespan and the ability to generate their own energy.

Moreover, these biomimetic reconnaissance devices look almost indistinguishable from real organisms, unless a specialized detector is used.

The guesthouse rented by Marquis Mingde is located right by the sea in Wandao City.

This place was originally a noble manor that was converted into a residence.

It is a secluded bay with snow-white sand beaches and a small harbor with several yachts moored there, some for fishing and others for recreational sea excursions.

For nobles, it was a profession.

The length of the entire bay entrance is about two kilometers, and the back is about one kilometer long.

The entire bay is the private property of the guesthouse!
Yang Bo disguised himself as a sea fish, then went to the vicinity of this bay, and then went directly from the port invisibly.

After Yang Bo went into hiding, he first went to the side of the yacht.

Someone was found doing tidying up on the yacht.

Yang Bo listened carefully to their conversation and discovered that they were staff members of the guesthouse!

Then I learned that Marquis Mingde had these people come at a fixed time every day to clean!
I also overheard these staff members gossiping.

Surprisingly, Yang Bo obtained a lot of information because he could tell what the other party was doing just by observing the cleaning staff.

These staff members are servants of the guesthouse owner.

The owner of this guesthouse is a hereditary earl.

Marquis Mingde brought three women, two men, and himself, making a total of six people.

Marquis Mingde lived on the top floor of the villa.

Then the three women lived on the floor below the top floor.

Two men lived on the bottom floor!
Yang Bo originally wanted to go directly to Marquis Mingde, but then he thought he might alert the enemy.

Furthermore, Yang Bo knew about the Marquis of Mingde. One of the two men he brought would come to inspect the things the staff had finished packing up!
Yang Bo knew, of course, that nobles were very cautious about these things, fearing that their privacy would be exposed.

Therefore, Yang Bo does not plan to take direct action against Marquis Mingde for the time being.

Three staff members used professional tools to clean the yacht.

Then the three staff members waited at the dock for the inspection.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Bo hid at the very bottom of the yacht.

Because there is also a safety cabin at the very bottom of the yacht.

No one outside will know what happens here.

Of course, the safety cabin is open now!
Yang Bo was waiting at the door of the safety cabin for the man who was to be inspected.

Zhang Feng, as the commander of the guards of Marquis Mingde, couldn't understand why Marquis Mingde would come to this wretched place, Dewen Star.

It costs money and isn't fun at all. Plus, this place is a bit dangerous; there have been a lot of terrorist attacks lately!
Of course, Zhang Feng didn't understand, but there was nothing he could do because there was a contract between them.

Marquis Mingde, a fallen nobleman, was simply unable to support his own armed forces, so he had to outsource them to other companies.

Outsourcing to other companies would be much cheaper, because you don't need to provide these guards with any equipment, nor do you need to be responsible for their birth, old age, illness, death, or compensation, let alone the livelihood of their families.

Zhang Feng was sent by a large security company.

This security company was founded by a grand duke.

Zhang Feng went aboard the yacht and took out professional equipment to inspect it.

Nobles have a high demand for privacy!

Zhang Feng then conducted a thorough inspection of the yacht, both inside and out.

There was only a slight fluctuation in the energy data detected while in the safe cabin, but the fluctuation was very small.

"Tsk tsk!!"

"I never expected that the Red Earl's men would be involved with a certain Grand Duke?" Yang Bo released a mental seed to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng is not one of Red Earl's men; the man who works with Zhang Feng is the real suspect in Red Earl's case.

Zhang Feng and his colleague belong to the Empire's largest security company, Shield Security Company.

The owner of Shield Security Company is a Grand Duke.

This Grand Duke was known as the Grand Duke of the Golden Oak and was the head of the Saint-Nolan family.

Zhang Feng knew from his memory that of the three women who followed Marquis Mingde, one was a bodyguard and the other two were women that Marquis Mingde had seduced.

This guard is also one of the suspects in the case of the Red Earl.

As for why Marquis Mingde came to Dewen Star, Zhang Feng didn't know, and he was also very puzzled.

So Yang Bo left quietly!
As soon as Yang Bo returned to the manor, he learned why Marquis Mingde had come to Devon Star. It turned out that someone had taken a liking to his family's treasures and wanted to buy some of the family's ancestral heirlooms at a high price, so they arranged to meet on Paradise Island.

Marquis Mingde told Zhang Feng to prepare to go to Paradise Island with him tomorrow.

Yang Bo felt that someone wanted Marquis Mingde to come here.

"Tsk tsk!"

"If he really is the Grand Duke of Golden Oak, then supporting someone like the Red Earl would be relatively simple."

"Especially since this security company has its own armed forces and armed ships, which makes it convenient for the Red Earl's people to move around, and can also provide various weapons, equipment and technical support!" Yang Bo certainly knew how much power a senior Grand Duke could wield.

Each elder of the Presbyterian Church owns businesses spanning virtually every industry.

Yang Bo checked the properties under the Grand Duke of Golden Oak's name, and then an even bolder plan formed in his mind.

The Grand Duke of Golden Oak's holdings include six mineral planets, a pharmaceutical company, two biological research institutes, two physics research institutes, two energy research institutes, an energy stone manufacturing plant, a robotics company, a transport ship manufacturing company, three transportation companies, six banks, nine agricultural companies, sixteen mining companies, four investment banks, two large construction companies, a security company, and more. He owns a total of over 90 million square kilometers of private land across four administrative planets.

It also has stakes in many industries, such as the empire's largest optical computer manufacturing company and its largest information security company.

There are many other industries abroad.

It would be strange if Yang Bo didn't have some ideas when faced with such a behemoth.

"Security system!" Yang Bo first set his sights on the security systems of the properties under the Grand Duke of Golden Oak's name.

The Grand Duke uses a security system he developed himself for all his properties.

There are also the companies in which the Grand Duke has a stake.

"How do we get this fire to the Grand Duke of Golden Oak?" Yang Bo wondered to himself.

Yang Bo soon learned from Zhang Feng that the Marquis of Mingde would be going to Paradise Island the next day with his secretary and Zhang Feng, while the others would stay behind!
The secretary is one of the other two women.

"The Red Earl's men should be making their move tomorrow!"

"It seems I must strike first!" "If the Grand Duke of Golden Oak is indeed the Red Earl, then the methods these two stewards used this time must be extremely powerful!" Yang Bo knew that the Grand Duke of Golden Oak had his own biological research company and pharmaceutical company, so causing some local disasters was entirely within his capabilities!
To put it simply, some energy viruses are capable of destroying a planet.

Therefore, Yang Bo will not give such a ruthless organization as the Red Earl a chance to operate.

Although the other party may not necessarily act today, I cannot gamble with my own territory and Devon Star.

The next day, Yang Bo secretly watched from the yacht at the guesthouse as Marquis Mingde, his two female secretaries, and Zhang Feng left the guesthouse in a flying car from Paradise Island.

If a vehicle from Paradise Island wants to pick up passengers from a guesthouse here, it needs to obtain the guesthouse owner's permission in advance.

This is why Yang Bo was able to know the Marquis of Mingde's whereabouts in advance.

Then Yang Bo watched as the remaining two employees of Shield Guard, a man and a woman, carrying two backpacks and wearing sunglasses, came onto the yacht.

Because the owner of this yacht is a nobleman, it was easy for him to apply for a shipping route.

The reason why Yang Bo was seen secretly is because he was inside the yacht's cockpit, looking through a very small gap and then through the yacht's transparent cockpit!
Yang Bo knew that the higher-ups at the Red Earl's Palace were also experts in mental power.

Upon seeing the other party arrive, Yang Bo quickly hid in the safety cabin.

Even though Yang Bo was invisible, he didn't dare to gamble on whether the two of them would be aware of his presence.

After boarding the yacht, the two men immediately started the yacht's self-inspection process.

Then the two looked at each other up and down. Yang Bo could hear the man come to the door of the safety cabin, glance at it, but did not stick his head into the safety cabin.

Because the guesthouse was owned by nobles, no one else could enter without their permission.

Furthermore, both of them were very confident in their own mental perception.

The two did not exchange a single word throughout the entire trip, because the yacht belonged to someone else.

After arriving at the designated sea area, the two changed into diving gear and then jumped off the yacht.

Upon hearing the sound of the two jumping off the yacht, Yang Bo stealthily approached the yacht.

They discovered that they were still 400 kilometers away from the border of their territory.

Then Yang Bo also disappeared and jumped into the sea, sinking directly to the bottom of the ocean.

The seawater here is more than 2,000 meters deep. During this process, Yang Bo discovered that two divers were also swimming towards the seabed in one direction.

After arriving at the seabed, Yang Bo went straight to a crevice and quickly took off his armor.

Then, using his camouflage ability, he disguised himself as a giant octopus.

Yang Bo's swimming master ability allows him to clearly sense the direction in which the two are swimming!
Yang Bo, the giant octopus, shook its huge head, its large tentacles constantly moving.

Yang Bo wasn't familiar with it at first, but he quickly became familiar with it.

Yang Bo rarely transforms into other biological states because it's difficult for a human to adapt to such a state immediately.

"Tsk tsk!" An hour later, Yang Bo saw the two swim to a place, which was a mountain in the sea, about 400 meters below the surface. They took out their spatial boxes and started assembling some equipment.

This place is only 310 kilometers from the border of the Bart territory.

"Tsk tsk!" Yang Bo knew as soon as he saw this location that the Grand Duke of Golden Oak was definitely up to something.

Because the bionic surveillance robots that Bart purchased likely include those from the Grand Duke of Golden Oak. This could be due to the provision of components or hardware/software.

I just gave the order yesterday to extend the alert distance of these bionic robots to 300 kilometers outside my territory!

These two troublemakers are blocking the 310-kilometer mark today!
Clearly, these bionic robots probably have some backdoors.

The equipment the two people took out was assembled into a bionic fish.

Then Yang Bo saw the two people carefully take out two round objects from the space box and put them inside the belly of the bionic fish.

Even from a distance, Yang Bo could tell that the two of them were very nervous.

"Hehe!!" Yang Bo chuckled!
Then, with a push from its tentacles underwater, the octopus lunged at the two people.

The two men, Red Earl and Red Count, had actually seen the giant octopus spying on them from the side!
However, the two of them had other things to do. If they killed the giant octopus at this moment, it might attract more marine life, and their latest bionic fish might be torn to pieces by other marine creatures.

As for using energy weapons, that is absolutely out of the question, because once energy weapons are used, they will be detected by the passive radar of the early warning satellites in the sky.

The man and woman laughed when they saw the giant octopus lunging at them.

The two men exchanged a glance, and the man picked up a speargun and looked at the giant octopus that was lunging at them.

As the octopus drew ever closer, the man decisively fired his harpoon!
But the next second the man's eyes widened, because the octopus's other tentacle was actually gripping a rock!
The harpoon was driven directly into the rock.

And in the next second, the octopus tentacles, which didn't look very long, suddenly stretched out.

It has been extended from the original three meters to one hundred meters.

Of course, it used to be quite thick, but now it has become very thin.

This sudden change caught the two of them off guard, and they managed to pull out an alloy dagger.

Woohoo! !
The moment the two tentacles wrapped around the two men, one of them snatched the man's alloy dagger and plunged it into his throat.

The woman next to her never expected that her companion would be instantly killed by an octopus!

The woman was adjusting the anti-livestock fish when suddenly the tentacles tightened around her. Before she could react, she heard a snapping sound.

The spine was twisted.

The woman is not dead, but she has lost all her abilities.

My body slowly floated up!

The man's throat was pierced by his own alloy dagger, severing his spine!
Then her body slowly rose, along with the artificial fish that hadn't yet started, because the woman was still connected to the artificial fish by wires.
The two had just surfaced when they were spotted by bionic birds from the Bart Territory, ten kilometers away.

The Bart territory's security system was activated instantly.

The guard chief in charge of security in the Bart territory dispatched unmanned combat aircraft!
At the same time, this unusual intelligence was reported to the Devon Star government.

At this moment, Yang Bo had already arrived at the seabed and was then teleported directly back to the secret laboratory.

Yang Bo was determined to personally seize the Grand Duke of Golden Oak's weakness.

The Devon Star Vigilant Fleet has just received an alert from the Bart Territory, and satellites have just pinpointed the location of the incident.

The entire alert system sounded its alarms.

Then they saw a huge energy surge soar into the sky from the Bart territory.

Zooming in reveals that it is actually Batou's space mech.

Of course, some people say that Yang Bo's actions are risky, because these bionic devices responsible for reconnaissance might transmit data to the Grand Duke of Golden Oak.

That's for sure, but these bionic devices will be detected if they upload abnormal data while they are in operation.

Yang Bo suspected that the Grand Duke of Gold Pixels had deduced that Bart had expanded the surveillance area through the location tracking provided by these bionic devices.

It's unlikely that the information was uploaded from an internal network and then stolen.

The man and woman floating on the sea were devastated. The woman had no idea what was going on, and the man was completely bewildered. However, they only had three minutes left to live.

One neck was twisted and another neck was severed by a dagger, along with a broken spine!

The two watched as birds appeared in the sky; these were bionic reconnaissance birds!
Their current thought is simply to wait three minutes and then die.

Because the two knew what they were doing, and if they got caught, they were finished.

But soon the two saw a bright light in the sky.

The two knew it was all over, because they had seen Grand Duke Bart of Devon Star traveling more than once.

This is how Grand Duke Bart used his space mech to break through directly into outer space, and then descend at supersonic speed to reach any location in a short time.

As expected, when the mecha unfolded in the air, it was Grand Duke Bart's mecha.

Then the two watched as Grand Duke Bart's mech landed on the sea, and the mech lifted the two of them, along with the fish, into the water.

Then the mech's cockpit opened, and a man appeared inside, carefully examining the still-functioning system.

Then came a flurry of actions.

The woman nearly fainted when the artificial fish's belly was opened.

Then we saw Grand Duke Bart take out two spatial boxes, quickly disassemble the bionic fish, and put it into the spatial boxes!
Then the man and the woman watched helplessly as they were put into a large spatial box.

Yang Bo chuckled to himself, then piloted his mech back to Bart's territory!
