A crimson light loomed overhead.

The main guns of three thousand warships entered critical charging.

【02: 45】

Taylor lay beside Herman's military boots, his body trembling like a leaf.

"Sir! What are you hesitating for?! Renn is really going to fire!"

Taylor, tears streaming down his face and his voice cracking, shouted, "Give the order right now to hand over that troublemaking native!"

Herman looked at the holographic countdown on his wrist and kicked aside the lump of fat at his feet.

Oh!

A burst of static erupted from the communication terminal.

The underground encrypted band was forcibly accessed.

"M-Master...can you hear me?"

The adjutant's voice was broken and intermittent.

"What's going on down there?!" Herman growled, suppressing his anger.

"The Governor's Mansion has been locked out, and all the elevators are now useless."

The adjutant's voice was weak, dry as if he were giving his last instructions, "Sir, this batch of subordinates may not be able to return. Please transfer my monthly allowance to my hometown..."

"Shut up! Where's that kid surnamed Lin? Bring him up here!"

"I can't carry you, sir..."

The adjutant hesitated, then his tone became utterly absurd: "He and that shorty were dismantling the well shaft."

"Dismantle the well shaft?"

"They tore off the main load-bearing steel cable, which is 4,000 meters deep, and coiled it up, saying they'd sell it as scrap metal. They even pried off all the titanium alloy supports used for fixing it and are stuffing them into sacks."

Herman took a deep breath.

Look up at the three thousand main cannons in the sky, ready to bombard you at any moment.

"I'm up there with three thousand cannons pointed at my head, and you're sourcing goods four thousand meters underground?"

Herman gritted his teeth: "He didn't say how he got up here?"

"You said... dismantle it all the way up."

A loud bang came from the other end of the communication line, and the signal was completely cut off.

【01: 30】

Herman rubbed his hands together, sweating profusely.

Hand them over?

A nineteen-year-old Star Lord! That's even more terrifying than the combined intimidation of those three thousand cannons overhead.

As long as Lin Feng is brought back to the Empire alive, Herman will never have to put up with any tycoon again for the rest of his life!

Take a gamble and become incredibly rich! All in!

【00: 30】

"grown ups!"

Taylor clung tightly to Herman's leg.

"Thirty seconds left! You need to switch to full-band broadcast and apologize to Commander Rein! Tell him he's underground and he can dig it up himself! Don't drag us all down with him!"

Herman looked down at Taylor's obsequious manner.

"Give in?"

Hermann raised his leg high and then slammed it down.

"I'll give you a piece of my mind!"

boom!

A kick landed squarely on Taylor's face.

With a scream like a pig being slaughtered, Taylor crashed heavily into the ruins of the plaza below, sending rubble flying, and then fell silent.

The people around were so frightened that they scrambled to the depths of the bunker.

Herman ripped open his collar and pulled off the twin-spire badge on his chest, revealing a data port on the back of the badge.

He strode to the maintenance control panel outside the mothership, smashed the outer shell with his fist, and slammed the badge into the slot.

"Identity confirmed! Herman, Inspector of the Seventh Border Fleet of the Silverfrost Empire!"

"Activate the ultimate command of the Inspector!"

"Mothership energy overload resolved! Cosmic-class shields, activated!"

hum!

The backup reactor at the bottom of the mothership roared.

A high-energy shield instantly deployed, forcibly enveloping the ship's hull.

"How many main guns are still usable!" Hermann roared into the communicator.

"Sir! The main shaft is damaged. Only the three side guns can be forcibly warmed up!" the pilot shouted in a broken voice over the channel.

"All targets are aimed at Rein's flagship! Lock him down!"

Click click click.

The armor plates on the side of the mothership were forcibly flipped over, and the three space-class star-destroying main cannons raised their muzzles, compressing the destructive light inside the cannon barrels, and locking the beams onto the conglomerate's main ship.

【00: 10】

Inside the orbital main ship.

Raine's face twitched as he looked at the high-energy reaction flashing red on the radar.

"What is he doing?"

Before the words were even finished, the main screen in the command center was forcibly disconnected and reconnected.

Not only the main ship, but also the communication channels of the three thousand warships in orbit were forcibly blocked by Hermann's inspector with the highest authority.

A screen pops up.

Behind Hermann were the muzzles of three main guns, so bright they were almost blinding.

He pointed at the camera and started cursing.

"Raine! What kind of bastard do you think you are!"

All the noise on the channel stopped for a moment.

Hermann's rough voice echoed across every warship: "A mere watchdog kept by a tycoon, a group of interstellar thugs recruited with a pittance, dares to point its cannons at the Silverfrost Empire's regular army!"

"I am an Inspector General, awarded by the core of the Empire! My mothership represents the face of the Imperial Military!"

Herman's voice grew louder and louder as he cursed, and his emotions became more and more agitated.

Since we've already torn off all pretense, let's gamble to the bitter end.

"Hand over the hostage? You think you're worthy! Don't even mention a manager from your Bloodthorn Consortium; even if it were you, Renn, if you messed with my people, I'd still blow your dog's head to smithereens!"

"Give me a three-minute countdown?"

Hermann burst into laughter: "Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? Your three thousand pieces of junk dare to act like big shots in front of the Imperial fleet!"

"Even if this mothership sinks here today, you won't get a single person out of my hands!"

The entire channel was completely silent.

The adjutant and staff officers around Renn stared wide-eyed.

Is this still the same marginalized officer who usually becomes subservient after receiving bribes?

"Good...very good!"

The three power furnaces embedded in Raine's chest instantly turned a deep purple.

"Imperial military might?" Raine swung his arm down sharply. "Today I'll vaporize this pile of scrap metal!"

【00: 00】

"Open fire!"

boom!

Three thousand dark red main cannon beams tore through the atmosphere of Gray Crystal Star.

The violent energy fluctuations plunged the entire airspace into a state of absolute chaos.

The beams of light converged into an inverted, blood-red waterfall, crashing down on the starport and Herman's mothership below.

Herman looked up at the falling death rays, his fists clenched tightly.

Hold on to the first wave!

Buy that kid some time!

Thousands of beams of light crashed down, less than a kilometer from the shield.

Click!

Rumble!

A terrifying shockwave suddenly erupted from the earth's crust beneath the Starport!
