Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Let's go."

The demon ship returned safely to Anran's side.

She lay in the recliner, a happy smile on her face.

In this way, the blame was completely shifted onto Bridges, who was already dead.

With the existence of the clone, Sawyer would no longer question why Bridges hadn't died.

Moreover, Enron took this opportunity to expose the hidden pioneers.

"How could we possibly allow you to bring in monsters from higher dimensions so easily?"

Let's stir things up!

The news of the Pioneers reached Sawyer's ears through the Night Lord's mouth, and then through Sawyer to the ears of all the star field rulers throughout the Eternal Star Path.

Chapter 40 Whoever plots against me, I'll attack Silent City!

A dozen or so black, shadowy figures stood in the spacious conference room nestled among the clouds.

They came from all over the world and were temporarily brought together through the emergency communication network of the Eternal Starway.

The topic of discussion at this meeting was the information that Enron had Bridges's clone released.

Above the clouds in the center of the conference room, videos extracted from the memories of the ** ethnic minority elders were playing over and over again.

The arrogant demeanor of Bridges as he uttered his threats, like a black pot, was deeply imprinted in the eyes of many star field rulers.

"Judging from his expression, he's definitely very confident," someone remarked.

"The pioneers? They disappeared for tens of millions of years and then reappeared."

“No.” A small giant, over four meters tall, interrupted the others’ discussion. “Is the person standing behind Bridges really a Forerunner?”

"..."

"Indeed, we have no way of knowing whether the forces behind him are indeed pioneers. Making hasty conclusions based solely on his word might lead us into a trap."

A slender woman said, "That's right, this might be a conspiracy by the Exiled Empire."

Sawyer sneered: "Regardless of what forces are behind him, it's certain that he can use clones..."

Sawyer recounted what he had witnessed when he plotted against Anran.

"Virginia?"

"That woman is actually in Qianlun Bay."

A lively discussion immediately broke out in the conference room.

"Silent City sided with the Exiled Empire during this war. Do you think this might be a staged act by the Exiled Empire?"

"That's hard to say."

"Bartholomew!"

Someone shouted, and everyone else's eyes were focused on the Lord of the Night standing next to Sawyer.

The man continued, "Bridges used to be your subordinate, didn't you notice anything unusual?"

The Lord of the Night snorted coldly: "If I could tell, my territory wouldn't have been attacked by him!"

The Lord of the Night was furious. It was bad enough that he was provoked by Bridges, but now the Lords of the Eternal Star Path were also showing signs of wanting to make trouble for him.

Fortunately, Sawyer stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, this isn't the time to discuss this. Our focus should be on Bridges and the forces behind him. What Bridges did to Bartholomew could be attributed to personal grudges, but what he did on Star Road can't be explained by just that."

"Yes."

"Heh heh, whatever their intentions, if they dare to show their faces again, I will use this magic to burn them to ashes!"

Sawyer pursed his lips.

He had known the rulers here for a long time; the person who had just become a ruler through the profession of mage was just a muscle-bound "macho man."

He was born with a strong, masculine personality and physique, but he was a mage.

The absurdity of his words was on par with the absurdity of his speech.

Sawyer said, "We have no way of knowing who is behind this, so we need to investigate both sides. What do you think of this suggestion?"

"I agree."

"I agree."

After a chorus of approval, the meeting gradually shifted to the specific assignment of tasks.

Major decisions on the Eternal Star Path are always discussed and made in this way.

Similar to the Exiled Empire, these two major powers that dominate the Star Tree Starfield are loose alliances composed of countless smaller forces.

However, due to the stable structure of the franchise forces, which has been passed down for countless years, the cohesion they unleash when faced with major events is no weaker than that of an authoritarian force.

"What the hell is this bad luck!"

The Night Overlord cursed under his breath after disconnecting. He had been in contact with the Eternal Star Road ever since he received the report, but he hadn't even inquired about the details of his own territory, so he didn't know how great the losses were.

"Lord Lord!"

The Lord of the Night looked at the aged body before him, and his originally ferocious face softened considerably.

He asked, "Tell me, just how big were our losses this time?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The old man bowed deeply and then began to tell his story.

From the moment Chen Tong invaded the territory until he finally killed Bridges' clone.

"Our losses are around 80 trillion energy coins."

The Lord of the Night frowned.

He wasn't concerned about the losses; although the numbers seemed staggering, they were nothing to him, who ruled the entire Dust Territory.

The person he truly cared about was Chen Tong.

"Why did even Chen Tong betray me?"

The Lord of the Night simply cannot comprehend this matter.

Bridges' betrayal was evident in his desperate cries, but Chen Tong was different.

They were all outsiders recruited.

Bridges has feelings.

But Chen Tong had no feelings.

Since there are no feelings involved, how could she possibly betray him?

The threat of death was nothing to Chen Tong.

To Chen Tong, life and death are as ordinary as eating and sleeping.

betray?

The Lord of the Night felt like he was hearing a joke.

That was his most successful experiment!

He trusted Chen Tong even more than he trusted his own people.

"And she also took away that woman who had the potential to become a Star Domain Ruler!"

The veins on the Night Lord's forehead bulged.

He now deeply regrets it; if he had known this would happen, he should have kept Jill by his side and left an indelible mark on her.

But there's no going back in this world.

Even though he was the ruler of the star field, he could only clench his fists silently.

“Bridges, Chen Tong, the Exiled Empire, and… Virginia!”

……

"Eh eh eh eh—"

Jill's screams echoed from inside the demon ship.

Just now, An Ran told her that the Chen Tong standing in front of her was the real Chen Tong.

"how is this possible?"

Jill started circling around Chen Tong.

With thin arms and legs and a pale face, she looked like a weak woman with no strength at all.

That's it? That's it?

You told me this is Chen Tong, the one who beat me so badly I couldn't fight back.

Are you kidding me?

Jill reached out and pinched Chen Tong's arm.

Chen Tong did not react at all.

She reached out and pinched Chen Tong's waist again.

Chen Tong still did not react.

Finally, Jill reached out and pinched Chen Tong's cheek.

“Look, how could someone so well-behaved be that wicked woman?” Jill said to Anran.

"..."

An Ran and Ci Qiya were both stunned.

It's just that Chen Tong couldn't use his strength at this moment, otherwise Ji'er would probably have been hung up long ago.
