Poverty makes me capable of anything.

They caught a traitor who couldn't escape in the territory of the Originium Worship Ceremony.

After being subjected to special interrogation methods, the traitor revealed everything he knew.

Leander was involved in almost the entire process of perfecting Originium, and even the members of the Originium Worship Society might not know more about the evolved Originium than he did.

The traitor said, "I've been by Hayden's side for so many years, and the only person Silver Moonlight has sent to contact him is Leander. It's very likely that Hayden has transferred the Originium to Leander."

It becomes even more interesting when you combine this speculation with what the tentacle monster said.

It is said that the Tentacle Monster said that the Originium from the Originium Worship Ceremony was temporarily given by Hayden to the Silver Moon, and that the person is already dead.

Leander was killed by Vesta, wasn't he?

At first, Nathaniel thought that the Originium had fallen into the hands of the Eternal Starway or the Unbeliever Legion. After all, they had killed many people from the Silver Moon during the operation to wipe out the Silver Moon, so they must have gained something.

In retrospect, it seems that Versta is the more suspect.

However, Nathaniel was not there to pressure Vesta; he sincerely wanted to make a deal with Vesta, so his tone was extremely tactful.

"interesting."

Vesta's eyes flickered.

It's important to know that Leander was actually killed safely; he was merely a spectator who contributed a little in the early stages.

When he obtained Leander's corpse through a trade, there were no Originium inside at all.

"Is it really not there, or did An Ran take it beforehand?"

Vesta stroked his chin.

This is hard to say.

But then he remembered the terms of the deal that Enron had proposed.

One of these was to make him hand over control of the virtual servant.

The virtual servant was in terrible condition and had almost no combat power left. Besides, An Ran wasn't a mechanic specializing in virtual impact, so even if the virtual servant were intact, she wouldn't be able to unleash its true potential.

Why would Anran want to control virtual servants?

"To deceive people!"

Ha ha.

Vesta gave a cold laugh.

He got scammed!

This woman is really shrewd.

She must have known all along that Leander possessed Originium and deliberately used this method to deceive him.

Vesta immediately replied to the Exiled Empire.

He wrote down the details of the incident, but just as his finger was about to press the send button, Vesta suddenly froze.

No.

He was sweating profusely.

This might create discord between the War Court and Anran, but wouldn't he himself suffer as a result?

"So it wasn't Vesta who killed Leander."

"Impersonation is so shameful."

"He must have threatened the Cult of Machines."

Public opinion will overwhelm him.

After learning the truth, the Eternal Star Road will definitely be unhappy with him.

So you didn't kill Leander at all, and you even borrowed the Dragon Slayer's Blade.

Nonsence!

Vesta quickly deleted the reply.

"We need to start with An Ran."

Vesta forwarded the message from Nathaniel directly to Anran.

He added, "What do you think about this?"

"emmm..."

An Ran scratched her head.

She should have known better than to let Marcus say that.

But since things had come to this, she could only try to find a way to argue her way out.

"I don't know where the Originium is either."

Vesta sneered: "Do you think I believe that?"

"It's true, and even if you don't believe me, there's no way I can conjure up an Originium for you!" An Ran shrugged.

Vesta roared, "Stop making excuses! I'm now absolutely certain that the Originium is in your hands! Have you all forgotten how I earned my title as the Virtual Lord because I haven't made a move in so long?"

boom!

A burst of blue flames suddenly erupted from Vesta's body.

His hair stood on end, making him look like a Super Saiyan.

Even from a distance, An Ran could feel the pressure.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

Now is not the time to go head-to-head with Versta.

"Are you absolutely certain?" An Ran asked.

"That's right!"

Vesta looked down at Anran, who was shorter than him.

"Aren't you afraid I'll reveal the details of our deal?"

"You can give it a try..."

Vesta chuckled, his tone full of threat.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it then."

An Ran shook her head.

"It seems you've made your decision."

A blue light flashed in Vesta's eyes; he was preparing to hack into the Mechanicus's network.

But at that moment, An Ran took out the Originium directly.

"Alright, alright, I'll give it to you."

╭(╯^╰)╮”

"Originium!"

Vista's pupils contracted.

As expected, the Originium was in An Ran's hands.

only……

Why did Anran become so cowardly today?

That doesn't make sense.

That's not true.

In fact, An Ran had considered it carefully. First, she was no match for Vesta at the moment, and second, Originium was actually of little use to her, so she might as well use it to exchange for something more useful.

Moreover, by handing over the Originium, Vesta should no longer suspect that the main reason he cooperated with him was to get Lumina to fight him.

“I also have requirements,” An Ran said.

"Go ahead."

"Lift the blockade against the Mechanicus!"

Don't even think about it.

"Then I won't give it to you."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

“Let’s give it a try!” An Ran retorted defiantly. “At worst, I’ll just hand over the Originium to the War Court. I don’t believe they can just stand by and watch me, a hero, get beaten by you. Neither of us will have an easy time then.”

Vesta remained silent.

An Ran said, "Come and talk to me again when you've thought it through."

Vesta sighed: "Deal."

The blockade can only delay the development of the Mechanicus, but it cannot deal a devastating blow to Enron.

Perhaps he should have used a more direct approach.

For example, beat An Ran in front of everyone to severely damage her self-confidence.

"Go and call Boschlia over."

Chapter 41 Royal Power!

Future technology will never be enslaved!

Vesta let out a thunderous roar.

But Boschlia raised questions immediately upon receiving the order.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
