From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 375 The Second Quenching Furnace
In a few breaths, only Warwick Edward was left among the core members of the Planta family who attended the meeting.

Warwick Edward dropped his revolver and slumped in his chair, gasping for breath, his face and body soaked with cold sweat.

He gasped for breath, then covered his face with his hands and cried emotionally.

In addition, he killed all the core members of the Planta family, because if he didn't do it, the other five would do it.

However, he was very clear that killing the other five people was far from the end, and it could even be said that it was just the beginning.

The five people who were shot by the pistol did not die from just one shot.

In fact, most of the people at the helm of the Planta family who control huge wealth have awakened to become superpowers.

People of this identity will only absorb one type of skill crystal core after awakening, and that is the life-saving crystal core.

So, Lu Heng just saw a very exciting scene. The five people who were shot survived by using various life-saving skills, but they lost the pistol roulette game, and if they lost, they would die.

Lu Heng added a few more sword strikes to clean up the mess, and finally walked in front of Warwick Edward.

Warwick Edward slid down from the chair and knelt down. He reached out and grabbed Lu Heng's trouser legs, begging, "Lu...let me go. I am willing to be your servant. I am willing to do anything."

Lu Heng lifted his chin with his sword and asked, "What did you call me?"

Warwick Edward quickly changed his words: "Master, from now on I am your slave."

"Come in."

Lu Heng shouted towards the door.

The door of the assembly cabin was pushed open from the outside, and the melodious music from the banquet hall came in.

The music played was the Sarabande, one of the favorite dances of the nobility in the 16th century.

Everyone on the cruise ship was under control and no one remembered to turn off the music.

After the door of the assembly chamber opened, a superpower warrior walked in, stood at attention and saluted Lu Heng: "Captain, please give me your instructions."

This superpowered warrior is named Liao Zhenghong, he is 35 years old and is now a member of the Qianlong Special Forces under Long Weiming.

Before being transferred to the special operations team, he was the deputy chief of the Intelligence Analysis Section of the Third Intelligence Department of the Southern Theater Command, with the rank of second lieutenant.

Lu Heng found him when he was looking up information about superpower warriors, met him and talked with him once, and then transferred him to the special forces team.

Liao Zhenghong is a spiritual type, possessing multiple spiritual skills, and his awakening talent is also a spiritual enhancement talent.

Therefore, the war zone specially trained him to be an expert in mental control, with a B-level skill [Control Will]. Combined with his mental enhancement talent, when he uses [Control Will], the effect is no worse than Lu Heng's [Mental Control].

With Liao Zhenghong being able to reach the rank of second lieutenant at the age of 35, he actually had a promising future in the military sequence.

The reason why he was willing to transfer to the special forces team was very simple. Lu Heng promised to help him upgrade his [Command Will] skill.

This skill is of level B, and can be used to deal with ordinary people and low-level psychics. It can achieve absolute control, but its effect on psychics of the same level is relatively general.

If he wants to continue to improve in the field of mental control, there are only two ways: either upgrade existing skills or acquire similar skills of a higher level.

But both of these paths are difficult.

So, when Lu Heng told him that there was a way to help him upgrade his [Command Will] skill, he did not hesitate for long and agreed to transfer to the special forces team on the spot.

Liao Zhenghong participated in the entire operation tonight.

The reason why Lu Heng was able to board the cruise ship as a Knight of the Round Table was Liao Zhenghong's masterpiece.

The method was very simple. He used [Commanding Will] to control a confidant of Lady Margaret and arranged the operatives on the cruise ship.

Lu Heng pointed at Warwick Edward and said, "The next thing is up to you."

"Yes."

Liao Zhenghong agreed, walked up to Warwick Edward, grabbed his arm, inserted a finger of the alloy syringe into his bone, and with a "pop" sound, something was injected into his arm bone.

"What is this...you..." Warwick Edward originally wanted to resist, but he quickly understood the situation. Now he had no choice but to die or accept all arrangements made by the Daxia man in front of him.

The object driven into Warwick Edward's arm bone was a signaling device produced by Sykes Technologies.

Liao Zhenghong said in English with a Lionheart Empire accent: "This thing is a Sykes technology product, and it has a micro-bomb installed in it. You can try to take it out, so that we can replace people."

Warwick Edward was trembling and dared not speak, his tears and snot mixed together.

Lu Heng arranged: "You stay and be his secretary. Clear out all branches of the Planta family as soon as possible and send the information back to the base."

Liao Zhenghong nodded and agreed: "Yes!"

He comes from the Southern War Zone Intelligence Department and is a psychic. It is perfect for him to control the puppet Warwick Edward.

Lu Heng left two special forces members to help him, then walked out of the cabin and came to the banquet hall.

The Margaret is indeed a luxury cruise ship that is ranked among the best in the Lionheart Empire, and every cruise is extremely luxurious.

At this moment, Lin Zeyu was already wandering around the banquet hall, pouring a glass of Romanee-Conti.

When he saw Lu Heng walk into the banquet hall, he raised his glass and said, "85 Romanee-Conti, what grade, drink the same wine as me."

Liu Haiyang shook off the seawater and boarded the boat. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "Can you tell what year it is?"

Su Muyu chuckled, tapped the red wine box next to him with his fingers, and said, "It's written on the box."

She continued to report: "It has been confirmed that there is no abnormality above the sea surface, the cruise ship has been controlled, and the outside world should not know the situation on the cruise ship yet.

"However, a distress signal was sent out before, and an armed team rushed over. They have now arrived at the port and are boarding the ship."

Since the cruise ship was anchored near the coast, five or six kilometers away from the port, no one on shore knew what happened on the cruise ship.

The most you could see was the brilliant fireworks emitted by the solar wind, but that didn't last long. Even for a perceiver, at such a long distance, you couldn't see anything without getting close to investigate.

Liu Haiyang then reported: "The seabed has been checked and there is no abnormality. Two crew members jumped off the ship and escaped. They have been dealt with. Jiang Shaoran is now on standby at the bottom of the sea, waiting for follow-up instructions."

Su Muyu then asked: "The armed forces coming to support us have boarded the ship, and the ship is heading this way. What should we do?"

"Let me blow up this ship with one shot." Lin Zeyu made a very direct suggestion.

It is indeed convenient to blow up the ship with one shot, but if it causes an explosion, the noise will be too loud and there will be more trouble later.

The goal for tonight has been achieved. What needs to be done next is to securely control the power of the Planta family controlled by Warwick Edward.

Lu Heng thought about it and said, "Let Liao Zhenghong take Warwick Edward to withdraw the support team."

After receiving the order, Liao Zhenghong passed it to Warwick Edward.

Warwick Edward took out his cell phone and made a call, asking the support team to withdraw.

The armed speedboat that was originally heading towards the cruise ship turned around and headed back to the port.

After the matter was settled, the team rested on the cruise ship for one night and prepared to continue the subsequent operations the next day.

The raid on the Margaret cruise ship was only the first step, and there was a second step in the action plan.

Either don't do it, or if you do it, do it thoroughly. ...

The night passed.

The next day, those media outlets that had originally reported on the threat posed by Daxia's superpowers suddenly flashed all related content overnight.

The media channels controlled by the Planta family began to publicize news of "friendly" cooperation with many enterprises and companies in Daxia.

Not only the world media, but also the territory of Daxia became quiet overnight.

Many people who were not in their right minds were still cursing yesterday, and when they woke up the next day and wanted to continue, they found that the online trend had changed and everything was reversing.

All of them reproduced evidence to prove that Gilbert Occam's team seriously injured the elder of the Siren tribe in order to snatch the Poseidon Gem, which almost led to the failure of the Abyss Battlefield mission.

Yuan Yaoyao got up early in the morning and opened the computer interface of the Black Feather Spirit, ready to take a look at the results of last night's "fierce battle".

In order to help Lu Heng "vindicate himself", she used the Black Feather Spirit optical computer system to "argue with reason" with the trolls on the Internet every day.

Because the Black Feather Spirit was so powerful, she could argue with tens of thousands of people by herself.

Even when you are sleeping, you can use the Black Feather Spirit system to perform speaking tasks.

However, when she woke up today and looked at the results of the battle, she felt something was not right.

"I'm so strong that I killed all the haters in one night?"

When Yuan Yaoyao was admiring her own online skills, the optical brain summarized the changes in public opinion last night, and she realized that the source of the threat theory had turned against her.

"How boring. They stopped after just a week of scolding." Yuan Yaoyao pouted, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

……

at the same time.

On the Celtic Sea, the luxury cruise ship Margaret is still floating on the blue sea.

The brilliant lights of last night have gone out.

The warm morning sun shone on the deck of the cruise ship, soothing the panic of last night.

The cruise ship is still called the Margaret, but Lady Margaret has passed away.

last night.

Liao Zhenghong led a team to interrogate Warwick Edward for a whole night and asked him out of all the secrets he knew.

As the deputy chief of the Intelligence Analysis Section of the Southern Theater, Liao Zhenghong has extensive experience in interrogation. Coupled with his mental control skills, one night is enough for him to ask Warwick Edward all the secrets he knows.

Including Warwick Edward and Lady Margaret, who had close contact several times and were completely shaken.

After breakfast, Liao Zhenghong sorted out all the important information, compiled it into a document, and handed it to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng pointed to the pumpkin porridge on the table and said, "This is good for breakfast. Let's sit down and eat together."

"Yes." Liao Zhenghong agreed respectfully, then sat down upright to eat breakfast.

Lu Heng frowned and said, "I plan to arrange for you to stay with Warwick Edward as a secretary, and then you will be in charge of the Planta family. You are so upright, aren't you not suitable for this task?"

Liao Zhenghong was stunned for a moment, then quickly relaxed his tense body, showing a rather mercenary expression, and said:

"Captain, I only have a proper attitude when I'm in front of you. When I'm on a mission, I can have any expression I need."

Seeing him suddenly become materialistic, Lu Heng couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, Liao Zhenghong was specially trained in intelligence work, and even his Lionheart Empire accent was practiced to be exactly the same as the locals.

"Then I feel relieved. Did you answer the questions I asked you to answer last night?" Lu Heng got to the point.

Liao Zhenghong regained his proper attitude, reached out and picked up the report, turned to the second page, pointed to a paragraph on it and replied:
"I found out that the quenching furnace is located at 83 Grace Avenue in Fog City. When the captain goes there, you can ask Warwick Edward to arrange for someone to pick him up."

Lu Heng arranged: "I will go there today and ask Warwick Edward to prepare a container and send it to 83 Grace Avenue."

"Yes. I'll do it right away." Liao Zhenghong nodded in agreement, picked up the bowl and drank the pumpkin porridge in one gulp, then got up to do his work.

……

Two hours later.

Lu Heng and his team of three arrived at 83 Grace Avenue, near the capital of the Lionheart Empire.

This is the location of the Grace Quenching Service Company building. In addition to the Quenching Fort, this is the location of the second quenching furnace in the human world.

When Lu Heng arrived at Grace 83, the company manager immediately came out to greet him with a very enthusiastic attitude.

Because this is a job arranged by the major shareholder, and the guests to be welcomed are distinguished guests.

"Take me to see the quenching furnace." Lu Heng didn't say anything and directly ordered the manager to take a few people to the forging room.

This quenching furnace in the Lionheart Empire has been in operation all the time, and every day there are quenchers lining up to use the quenching furnace.

After all, Blue Star only has two quenching furnaces and has so much quenching business going on.

There are even some quenching businesses that have a wait list of one month later. Without a strong background, you are not even qualified to queue.

The company manager took four people to the forging room, and he kept muttering to himself on the way.

Because the four people who came were clearly from Daxia, and it was unclear which one was the tempering master.

He felt strange, but this was a job arranged by the major shareholder and as a manager he had no right to question it.

After entering the forging room, there were three or four hardening engineers and their teams queuing up to use the quenching furnace.

Seeing that there were people there, Lu Heng said directly: "The quenching furnace will be shut down today, everyone get out."

When the company manager heard this, he was immediately surprised and said, "Sir, this won't work. The quenching business is already scheduled for a month later. If we stop operating for one day, the loss will be huge."

Lin Zeyu directly took out his revolver, fired two shots at the ceiling, and shouted: "Quenching furnace is shut down, everyone get out!"

When the gunshots rang out, the team of hardeners who were originally queuing were so scared that they quickly left.

After driving the people away, Lu Heng gestured, "Go ahead."

Xie Shien nodded, took out a magic wand and turned it in his hand, then released his mental power, and with a "bang" he moved the quenching furnace out from the wall and put it into the container.

The mechanical tiger jumped directly onto the container, carried it and flew away.

Six hours later, the quenching furnace was transported back to Binhai, sent to the quenching fort, and placed next to the original quenching furnace.

This quenching furnace was originally snatched by the Lionheart Empire from the Darkville Black Iron Tribe. Now that it has been returned to the Quenching Castle, it can be regarded as having been returned to its original owner.

After all, Gollum is also a Dark Iron Dwarf, and this is the quenching furnace of their Dark Iron tribe.
