Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"I checked the list of outgoing materials through personal channels. According to a friend in my business consolidation department... there are indeed anomalies in the loss reporting data in recent years, and some of the goods may have originated from the company's warehouse or partner companies."

Based on your suggestion, the whereabouts of this batch of supplies... may be related to both conservatives and localists.

Spier's gaze remained calm as he turned to the next person.

“I have reviewed the expansion of local factions in recent years.”

Another person reported, in a somber tone.

“It’s quite alarming. Whether at headquarters or in local branches, they are systematically cultivating and supporting their cronies to occupy key positions, while secretly excluding employees from their faction. The proportion of locals in important positions has increased significantly in recent years.”

After listening, Spiel's gaze became even more profound.

Are there any other situations?

"Yes. According to our intelligence channels, the activities of the Extinction Gang and other resistance organizations have intensified recently, clearly indicating that there is a force directing and funding them behind the scenes."

Furthermore, the investigation into the Pan-Galaxy Slave Market...confirmed the existence of unidentified buyers engaged in a sustained large-scale acquisition of people.

Spiel suddenly stood up and looked down at his subordinates.

"What do you think the situation is like now?"

“Minister,” a subordinate said cautiously.

"I believe we should immediately inform other departments and, if necessary, report to headquarters for support."

"This is an extremely critical situation; I'm afraid it's too late. How are our troops prepared?"

Spier shook his head, his gaze shifting to the woman with a fierce demeanor.

"Boss, our fleet is ready and has been placed on Level 1 alert. We are ready to go to every part of the star system to quell any incidents at any time."

“Okay.” Spiel nodded.

"At the same time, notify our orbital fleet to increase vigilance. In case of any abnormality, take all necessary measures to deal with it."

..........

Inside the towering skyscraper, an elderly woman with silver hair walked slowly down the corridor.

She stopped in front of a secret room at the end of the room.

"It's you. Come in."

A short while later, a deep voice came from inside the door.

The old woman pushed open the door and entered. The room was shrouded in darkness, and the air was filled with a strange, distorted feeling, completely out of place with the outside world.

"What happened?"

“Grandmother, that’s how it is.” The old woman bowed.

"Both the Kurihara and Uehara families have sent warnings. I also just received news that the company has begun investigating us in the past two days. The timing is not right... but my intuition tells me something is wrong, so I've come to ask for your guidance."

After a moment of silence, a soft sigh came from ahead.

"Has this day finally come?"

The sigh gradually turned into a low laugh, then from a subdued tone to a soaring one:

"Children, since that's the case, let's get started!"

The old woman's heart skipped a beat; a thousand thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end, she lowered her head.

"As you wish."

Thousand Star City

Lin Yuan had been waiting for Leo to give him information for a long time, but the other party was very stubborn and refused to speak. He continued to maintain his arrogant attitude.

After receiving the message from Minister Spil, he had lost patience to wait any longer.

This time, Lin Yuan dismissed everyone else and conducted the interrogation alone.

Leo, who had previously responded with a cold laugh despite being subjected to torture, finally revealed everything he knew after witnessing some terrifying scene once the power of destiny began to influence him.

Soon, following the instructions, his subordinates quickly found the beacon device in a hidden compartment in his office and removed the authentication key from his body.

At this point, the beacon and the three keys are all in place.

After being handed over to the technicians led by Xiang Yu for debugging, coordinates appeared on a star map.

"Found it, this is it."

Lin Yuan stared at the point of light. In just a few days, they hadn't stopped working on this thing for a moment.

Now the goal is in sight, and all the work done before has finally paid off.

"We need to hand over the Dylans girl to them; we don't have time to waste."

The handover was completed swiftly. Although Minister Risco was quite resentful of Lin Yuan's previous attitude, seeing that the other party had indeed handed over the person, he finally snorted coldly and left with his men.

The escort ship slowly departed from the spaceport and headed towards the coordinates where the fleet was assembled.

This scene was witnessed by observers in the shadows.

“It’s someone from the market development department.” Upon receiving the tip, Kurihara Tetsuya’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Too late to realize it now… it’s too late.”

He put down the communicator, and a new message just popped up on the screen:

"The time has come, let's launch it."

........

After a brief voyage, the Third Operations Fleet is preparing to enter the jump orbit.

Lin Yuan was currently in the command center, and had already issued the order for everyone to prepare for battle.

The target's location on the star map has been locked, and the fleet is approaching the jump point in preparation for departure.

Just then, an order came from Sith headquarters:

"Given the turbulent situation in Tver, the Action Committee has ordered all active special operations teams to immediately return to headquarters for a report."

"How to do?"

The eyes of the crowd flickered upon seeing this instruction.

A moment later, Captain Ford asked Lin Yuan.

"Ignore it."

Lin Yuan's gaze was cold and stern.

"They replied that our department is at a critical stage of the mission and will return immediately to report on our duties upon completion."

After issuing the command, Lin Yuan said in a deep voice:

"We need to hurry."

However, after a period of time, a communication channel was opened again through the company.

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly: "Connect."

On the screen, a noblewoman dressed in gorgeous clothes and exuding an air of dignity appeared.

She looked directly at Lin Yuan, her voice leaving no room for argument:

"Lin Yuan, I order you to return immediately."

.........

Chapter 113 The Storm Has Arrived

"Lin Yuan, I order you to return to headquarters now."

After seeing the face on the screen, Lin Yuan immediately recognized that it was Sai Lei, who rarely asked about affairs but always remained firmly in the position of minister.

“Minister, we are undertaking a crucial operation whose outcome will have a significant impact on the entire situation in Tver. I must complete it. I will personally report to you upon its completion.”

Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Impact? I think your impact right now is big enough."

Minister Serena squinted, her lips pursed, and her expression became even colder and harder.

"Stop your actions and look at what you've done! The situation in Tver is already becoming unstable, and you're creating friction with the Business Consolidation Department at a time like this. What do you want the higher-ups to think of us?"

Her accountability was undisguised:

"Return to base immediately, hand over the duties to the Business Consolidation Department specialist, and reflect on your recent behavior. Otherwise, prepare to be suspended pending investigation."

Lin Yuan's face darkened.

Turbulence? Chaos? I'm afraid you're worried that these things will affect your political achievements and delay your accumulation of seniority and transfer to headquarters.

His mind raced, and he immediately spoke:

"Minister, I have discovered abnormal signs in Tver. If we don't investigate in time, the consequences could be disastrous if it erupts. You wouldn't want to see an uncontrollable situation under your rule, would you?"

Serena's eyes flickered slightly after hearing this, then she shook her head:

"Return to base. The relevant matters will be coordinated and planned by me and several vice ministers. This matter is no longer your concern."

"Tsk."

Seeing that the other party was not giving an inch, Lin Yuan's eyes gradually turned cold.

Old Spil, carry it for me one more time.

A thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.

“Minister, my actions have been reported to and are known to Deputy Minister Spear and the White Envoy from headquarters, and I have received the corresponding authorization.”

"Hmph, since when did the deputy minister's orders take precedence over those of the head of the department?"

Serena paused for a moment, her tone becoming even more somber.

"As for Special Envoy Ai Bai, since you chose to report directly to a higher level, you should understand that even a special envoy from headquarters needs to cooperate with local work in critical moments. I will explain your problem to her."

Her gaze was icy:

"Don't make me say it a second time. Turn back, or you'll face the consequences."
