Kureya said, "I don't know how my brother will handle this matter. To be honest, if it weren't for you, those barbarians would definitely have landed on the Little Garden, and there would have been no way to avoid casualties."
Li Wei said, "Don't worry, based on my understanding of Judar, he definitely won't suffer a loss. However, these kinds of things usually involve negotiation first, and only taking action if negotiations fail. There's a high probability that the other side will push out a scapegoat to take the blame, and Judar's side will also know when to stop, taking care of that scapegoat and retaliating in a small way within reasonable limits, making an example of someone. This time, I might be the knife used to make an example of someone."
Kureya said with some surprise, "Li Wei, aren't you supposed to be teaching here? Why would your brother send you on such a mission?"
Li Wei said, "My mobility is much better than that of ordinary martial artists. As long as the intelligence is in place, I can complete this mission in less than half a day. Moreover, as Valslan's ultimate strategic deterrent, I also need to go out and intimidate those who are arrogant when necessary."
Judar, meanwhile, traveled to Ying Kingdom on a private jet. Judar is someone who refuses to suffer in silence, and this "impulsive" style of doing things is very rare in the entire upper-class circle.
In a classically decorated meeting room filled with the style of aristocrats from the last century, gentlemen in suits sat opposite a tall, golden-haired young man. This young man was none other than Judar, who had come to confront them. At this moment, he was accompanied only by two bodyguards, and thus he had barged into the other party's "lair".
Sitting opposite Judal in the main seat was an elderly gentleman with gray hair. He wore a well-tailored old-fashioned suit, a monocle on his nose, and his gray beard was styled in an elegant manner, making him look exceptionally noble.
“Sir Judal, it’s been a long time,” the elderly gentleman said with a smile.
Judall said calmly, "Sir Lockhart, I am very pleased to see that you are still in such good health."
Although Judar spoke politely, his expression was that of someone looking at a stranger, cold to the point of indifference.
The other gentlemen around Sir Lockhart were somewhat dissatisfied. As a junior, Judal's attitude towards Sir Lockhart was extremely impolite. However, Judal's nature was well-known throughout the circle. He was quite friendly to those he knew well, but once they became his enemies, his attitude would be as cold as the Siberian wind.
The middle-aged gentleman said, "Sir Judal, you didn't call us here at this time just to give us a hard time, did you?"
Judar crossed his arms and said expressionlessly, "Just yesterday, my little garden was attacked. Heavy anti-ship missiles, plus more than ten barbarians, what a big move."
The gentleman said with dissatisfaction, "If you were attacked, then go investigate who's behind it. If it was a barbarian attack, then go find trouble with the barbarians. Why are you coming to us?"
Judar pulled a USB drive out of his pocket and smiled, but his smile was rather eerie.
Judar said with a smile, "There is some very interesting information here. Would you like to take a look now? I sacrificed the precious lives of two intelligence officers to find this information. Do you want to see what they discovered?"
Upon seeing the USB drive in Judar's hand, the gentlemen's expressions turned somewhat unpleasant. Some things, once done, are done; as long as no one catches them red-handed, they can say whatever they want. But if the other side catches them in the act, then things become quite troublesome.
Moreover, they all knew that Judar was not an ordinary rich man who could be easily manipulated. This young man, who was not even 18 years old, had already mastered a vast technological "empire," and could be described as excessively outstanding. If Judar were not so rebellious, they would all want to recruit him into their own little circle...
Judar looked at the tense gentlemen before him, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said, "We haven't even started looking at the stuff yet, what's all the fuss about? Or are some of you feeling guilty?"
The elderly Sir Lockhart said, "Sir Judal, even if we disregard their status as your elders, let's at least consider your grandfather's reputation and not let things get too tense. After all, we are all compatriots who grew up on this island, aren't we?"
Judar leaned back in his chair, unlike the well-mannered gentlemen opposite him, exuding the air of a pirate from the last century. He said, "I would like to treat them as my own people, but they were quite ruthless when they plotted against me. This time, they were aiming to sink my little garden. What does a dozen or so barbarians mean?! That's enough to destroy a small country with weak military power. They really think highly of me!"
Sir Lockhart said, “Sir Judal, watch your words. I regret what happened yesterday, but you cannot use that to doubt that the person is among us. Everything must be based on evidence.”
Judal nodded, tossed the USB drive forward, and after sliding a short distance, it came to a precise stop in front of Sir Lockhart.
Judar said, "Since you've put it that way, I'll give you face and not release the items here, so as not to embarrass some people. However, my men have already arrived at the mastermind's house, and there should be no one alive there now."
Judall's smile carried a hint of bloodlust, and all the gentlemen present, except for Sir Lockhart, looked quite grim.
The two young gentlemen stood up excitedly.
"Judar! How dare you?!"
"What wouldn't I dare?! You old fool, if you scheme against me, be prepared for my revenge. I have a bad temper, and I usually settle scores on the spot. The fact that I haven't killed you two bastards is already giving Sir Lockhart face!" Judall slammed his fist on the table, making the teacups next to him jump. He was like an enraged lion, and apart from Sir Lockhart, who remained calm, everyone else couldn't help but shrink back.
Chapter 4. Aftermath
At this moment, Li Wei was leading the guard squad directly under Judar to the home of the mastermind behind this incident. There were two masterminds behind the incident, and now one of their families had been wiped out. This was the second family.
The entire mansion, along with the surrounding garden and lawn, was blasted into a huge crater, as if it had been hit by a meteorite. Only glassy material remained inside the crater walls.
Having manipulated Judar's clone to berate the other side during the meeting, Levi was in a fairly good mood. In fact, he wasn't angry about the incident; he only had Judar's clone behave that way to show his attitude.
However, while the talks were exhilarating, the consequences of such actions must be borne. From now on, the last vestige of ties between Valslan and Ying Kingdom will be severed. Those gentlemen, who previously used their own shady tactics to secede from the Britannia Federation, are now failing to learn their lesson and allowing Valslan to break away from their sphere of influence. In Li Wei's view, these gentlemen are truly incompetent.
Just as Li Wei led his guard squad to approach the enemy's mansion from the air, dozens of fully armed figures appeared in the opposite mansion after flashes of light.
Looking at the armed maid squad approaching, Li Wei sighed inwardly. These gentlemen were indeed "gentlemen"—they'd actually managed to gather combat maids. As someone who cherished women, he found it hard to bring himself to do anything in this situation.
The mansion's guard team, which was the mastermind behind the previous owner, was a martial arts force composed entirely of teenagers. Faced with that situation, Li Wei naturally showed no mercy and wiped them out like autumn leaves in the wind. However, now that he had to eliminate all of these combat maids, Li Wei felt a little regretful.
The head maid stopped at the front and said, "Strangers, you have invaded the Flint family's airspace. Please stop!"
The head maid, seeing the fully armed and menacing Levi and his men, knew something was wrong. She was just stalling for time. The ordinary servants in the mansion had already sent out distress signals, and soon more martial artists would arrive to drive out these unknown martial artists who had invaded the Flint family.
Li Wei smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, I regret to inform you that the Flint family must disappear from this moment on. Now you have a chance to leave the Flint family. With your abilities, finding a good job shouldn't be difficult."
"Sir, this kind of joke isn't funny at all," the head maid said coldly.
Li Wei laughed and said, "You think I'm joking? But no, I'm really giving you this advice. All the members of the Flint family outside have been dealt with by us. Now only the members inside this mansion are left. The Flint family you're protecting is now all alone."
The head maid looked somewhat flustered. She was promoted to head maid because she was a martial artist. An experienced head maid is usually over thirty years old and has a wealth of experience. As a teenage girl, she was flustered in the face of this situation.
Li Wei continued, "Besides, there's no point in trying to stall for time. Our communications have been blocked. No matter how you try to get help from the outside world, they won't receive any information. So, give up resisting. I'm a man who cherishes women and doesn't like hitting them."
The head maid suddenly produced a lightsaber and swung it horizontally toward Li Wei's waist. However, she felt dizzy and saw her own headless body.
Li Wei said calmly, "I'm a man who cherishes women, but if someone tries to kill me, I will punish them. What about you?"
Li Wei looked at the stunned armed maid squad. At this moment, the armed maid squad was terrified. Their strongest maid leader was instantly killed by Li Wei, which meant that they wouldn't be able to withstand a single attack from Li Wei. If he really attacked, they would be wiped out in a very short time.
"We surrender!" shouted the armed maid with the golden scroll.
Li Wei said to the leader of the guard squad, "Take the prisoners back directly. After all, they are quite valuable to become martial artists. As for the ordinary people of the Flint family, you are in charge of dealing with them."
"Yes, sir!" the guard squad leader said excitedly.
The world of martial artists is quite cruel. Unlike ordinary society, it is not bound by morality and law. On the surface, it maintains a relatively friendly system. In the world of martial artists, the hierarchy depends entirely on strength.
Li Wei's strength instilled fear in all members of the Royal Guard squad. They were elites selected through repeated combat, the best of the best. However, in front of Li Wei, they were as fragile as porcelain dolls. The huge gap made them realize the cruel reality, and at the same time, they became Li Wei's loyal admirers.
The guard squad, forged in blood and fire, is not only stronger than ordinary martial artists, but also more like professional soldiers. They are absolutely obedient to orders and execute missions perfectly. They do not feel any extra sympathy for enemies, whether they are young, old, weak, women, or children. In their eyes, the mission targets they need to deal with are no different from individual barbarians.
The elite guard squad, firing at full power, blasted the entire mansion into the air in less than thirty seconds. Even the mansion's underground bunkers were destroyed. The people inside didn't even have time to scream before they completely lost consciousness.
Watching the guard squad carrying out their orders, Li Wei sighed inwardly; Kureya's worst fear had come true.
Chapter 44. Charlotte's New Achievement
After the Flint family was dealt with, Levi, along with his guard squad and several captured martial arts maids, returned to the Valslan-owned space carrier.
The massive space carrier, while not as large as the maritime academy city ship, still has a long axis of 100 meters and a wingspan of over 700 meters. Although it is still tiny compared to Little Garden, its size is still terrifying enough considering that it is in the sky.
The technology possessed by the Valslan is already more advanced than that of the major powers, but due to their limited power and resources, they cannot mass-produce large-scale vessels like the Little Garden and the Space Helicopter.
After bringing the people back to the space carrier "Babylon," Levi set off alone to return to Little Garden. After all, his current identity was the martial arts instructor of Little Garden, and he needed to focus his main energy there, while other miscellaneous matters would be handled by his clone, Judar.
When Li Wei entered the airspace of Little Garden, the armored vehicle automatically connected to Little Garden's security identification code, allowing him to land smoothly in the take-off and landing zone. Although Little Garden allows any location to serve as a starting point in an emergency, all return flights must land in designated areas within the take-off and landing zone.
At the landing area, Clare and Charlotte were already waiting. After Levi landed, his armor turned into specks of golden light and disappeared.
“That’s strange, Erica and Lydia aren’t with Kuraya this time,” Levi said.
Charlotte, with a lollipop in her mouth, said, "They have their own things to do, and they can't always be by Kureha's side. Speaking of which, what kind of missions are they this time?"
Li Wei smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but for some reason, I have to keep this mission a secret."
Strictly speaking, this mission was not a glorious affair. He had slaughtered two ancient noble families, wiping out their descendants. It was a rather unseemly thing to talk about.
Kureya said, "Since it's a secret, I won't press you further. But speaking of which, has the mastermind behind this received the punishment they deserve?"
Li Wei said, "I was the one who carried out the punishment. It's certain that the mastermind behind this is now living a life worse than death."
The two powerful families that spearheaded this plan have been completely wiped out, except for the heads of the two families who survived. Even if the two heads survived, they are too old to rebuild the family. Although there was not much economic loss, both the peripheral members and the core members of the family are gone. Under such circumstances, the two families are on the verge of extinction.
The reason Li Wei spared the lives of those two men was simply to prevent Valslan from openly breaking ties with Ying Kingdom. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for Judal's clone to kill someone in front of Sir Lockhart.
Some rules can be trampled on without consequence, but certain unspoken rules must be followed by those in power. For example, Judal only brought two martial arts guards to the venue. If the other side had no sense of martial ethics, they could have easily intercepted and killed Judal. However, the other side followed the unspoken rules and did not attack Judal at that time. So, in return, Li Wei followed the unspoken rules and did not kill the two planners directly, but instead wiped out all their relatives.
Upon hearing Levi's words, Kureya said, "Although we don't know exactly what happened, as long as the mastermind is punished, that's fine. Valslan's current situation is very delicate. We must not show the slightest cowardice. If we let the other side see any flaws, we will be surrounded and attacked by wolves."
Li Wei smiled. The original Judar would have had so many concerns, but now this Judar, who has become his puppet clone, is completely unburdened. Even if a world war were to break out, he wouldn't be afraid, because in the end, the one who would win would be him behind the scenes.
However, such things are meaningless to Li Wei, because he will leave this world sooner or later. Apart from what he can take out of this world, the so-called wealth and status of this world are all fleeting clouds to him. Therefore, it is a matter of the reward being completely disproportionate to the effort to obtain such wealth and status. Only a fool would do such a thing.
Charlotte said, "This isn't the place to talk. If you have something to say, you can go back and talk about it later. I've come up with something interesting, and I'll need your help to perfect it."
Li Wei looked at Charlotte with some curiosity. This pseudo-loli, whose real age was unknown, was a genius in scientific research and had made great achievements in various fields. She was also a talent that Judal had spent a lot of effort to recruit. Charlotte deserves at least 90% credit for Valslan's current power.
“I’m quite interested in what you’re talking about. Anyway, I don’t have any classes today, so let’s go check it out,” Li Wei said.
Although Li Wei's abilities are already very comprehensive, he doesn't have much interest in scientific research. He's enthusiastic about cultivation and exploration, or creating magical artifacts, but he really doesn't like the tedious work of scientific research.
Levi and Kuraya followed Charlotte to Charlotte's private laboratory located on the lower deck. Inside the laboratory, they saw a device that did not appear to have any function. The device was about the size of two people and would be quite suitable for mounting on a vehicle.
"What is this?" Kuraya asked curiously.
The device was isolated from the outside world by special glass, and Levi and Kuraya could only observe it through a protective layer.
Chapter 4. Communication Devices
This device looks like something out of science fiction. Although the Hundred Armor Crystal is already quite unscientific, this thing feels like something even more advanced than the Hundred Armor Crystal.
Charlotte smiled easily and said, "Didn't Li Wei bring that letter back yesterday? I took it apart and found through testing that it contains a very special electromagnetic wave. This special frequency can make the barbarians feel uncomfortable. The reason why those barbarians chased after this letter is very likely because they were angered by that special electromagnetic wave."
Kureha's expression turned somewhat unpleasant as she said, "What disgusting tactics!"
Charlotte said, "There's no need to get angry about this. That's how the adult world is. The process doesn't matter, as long as the result is achieved. Besides, this thing has given me an idea. Since they do such things, why don't we retaliate in kind? If we encounter any unscrupulous enemies in the future, we can throw this thing at their heads."
Kureya exclaimed in shock, "If we do this, aren't we no different from those bastards?"
Li Wei said, "But this world is so cruel. Many times, as long as one side sets a bad precedent, the situation will completely get out of control. This time, we can say that we hit the brakes and directly crushed the two masterminds behind the scenes. It can also be considered a warning. But in the future, there may be more and more people doing this kind of thing."
Kureya sighed. She understood what Li Wei meant, and her current position had already exposed her to many dark aspects. This was just a bit darker, but she wasn't numb to it yet, which was why she sighed.
Kureya never worries about having low blood pressure, because the intelligence she receives every day is enough to keep her from getting high blood pressure. For example, this time, someone has already used the technique of inducing barbarians in actual combat, which can be said to have set a very bad precedent. If all forces play such tricks in the future, they may go too far and be taken advantage of by the barbarians, and in the end, it will be the ordinary people who suffer.
Charlotte said with a serious expression, "This device I made isn't for doing any random things. Yesterday, the president told me that he wanted me to develop a device specifically for guiding the barbarians' movements, in preparation for the counterattack on the moon. This thing is actually a preparation for the counterattack."
