Shadows of the Deep Space

"Major Su Ming, I'm sorry! We couldn't find those two people, maybe the information you provided is incorrect."

"Impossible, they were taken by your people."

Johnny said angrily.

"Sir, you'd better think carefully before you speak."

Mez looked up at Johnny, casting a warning gaze at him.

Su Ming is a high-ranking official of the Federation, which naturally makes him quite intimidating. But he completely disregards people like Johnny, whom he considers to be unruly.

Johnny's expression changed slightly, instinctively feeling a bit of fear.

Su Ming was no fool and could see that Mez was threatening Johnny, so he spoke up.

"Johnny, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"I understand, they are the ones who took them."

Johnny said firmly.

Su Ming raised his head and looked coldly at Mez, saying.

"Don't play games with me, stop giving me evasive and perfunctory answers. Hand over the people immediately! If we can't come to an understanding, I will speak directly with your King."

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, Mez's expression became somewhat flustered, and he quickly replied.

"Sir, there's no need for this; please wait a moment longer. I'll check again to see if there's anything we've missed."

"Hurry up, my patience is running thin."

Su Ming replied coldly, wanting to quickly get Mi Fei and the others out to ensure they were alive. If they were dead, it would become a huge problem.

"Alright!"

Mez quickly turned and left.

Mez soon arrived at an office.

At this moment, a fat, pot-bellied, greasy middle-aged man approached quickly and asked.

"Mez, how did it go?"

"Director Shi Fu, it's really bad. That Major Su Ming is being very tough, we can't brush him off. Plus, he said if we continue to stall, he'll go to see the King." ThereferenceversionofthischapterisonM*V*LEMPYR.

Mez replied anxiously.

"No, we can't let him see the King, and we can't give him the people either, otherwise if things come to light, we're all doomed."

"What should we do then?"

"Why panic? We may be unable to deal with him, but that doesn't mean others can't. The best way to handle Federation people is with their own kind!"

"You mean to seek pressure from someone within the Federation."

"That's right, I'll call that certain someone right away."

Shi Fu said as he raised his wristband to dial a number.

Beep beep~

Soon the communication was connected, and a dignified voice sounded from the wristband.

"Shi Fu, what's the matter?"

"Lord Isas, I've hit a bit of a snag here and need your help."

"What kind of trouble?"

"Well, a Major from your side has come over, causing us trouble, and we can't withstand it, could you make him leave?"

Shi Fu requested humbly.

"Who?"

Isas asked coldly.

"Major Su Ming."

Shi Fu quickly replied.

"Are you talking about Major Su Ming from the Thirteenth Legion?"

Isas squinted his eyes before responding.

"It seems so."

"Then I can't help."

"Ah, you're a Vice Admiral, how can you not help?"

"Hmph, I can't help because I can't help, and I don't want to either. Besides, what exactly have you done?"

"We, we didn't do anything, just during a demolition there were two unruly people who weren't cooperating, so we detained them."

Shi Fu hesitantly replied.

"Do you think I'll believe that? Handle it yourself."

Vice Admiral Isas said and ended the call abruptly.

Listening to the busy tone from his wristband, Shi Fu stood there dumbfounded.

"This is a disaster!"

"Sir, should we just get rid of the old man and his granddaughter?"

Mez said in a panic.

"Are you out of your mind? If those two die, do you think Su Ming will let us go? We'd all be joining their funeral."

Shi Fu scolded angrily.

"Then what do we do? Every way seems like a dead end."

"What else can we do, we'll just have to hurry and gather some money to make up the old man's compensation and shut their mouths."

"And how do we explain to Major Su Ming?"

"How else, just say the compensation hasn't come through yet, which made them come over and cause trouble, so we detained them. Now the money has arrived, and it's all a misunderstanding."

"Okay."

Mez replied hastily.

Shi Fu took a deep breath, ignoring the pain in his chest, and raised his wristband to call the prison.

The call was soon connected, and a hearty laugh came from the other end.

"Lord Shi Fu, what brings you to call today?"

"Ang Wei, quickly get the old man and his granddaughter out of the cell, treat them to some good food and drinks."

"Huh?"

"Huh what, it's urgent on my end."

"No, I can't bring them out."

Ang Wei replied in a flustered manner.

"Why? Did you kill them?"

Shi Fu questioned angrily and anxiously.

"No, I just sent them to Mining Star TLX-21 to work."

"You've really landed me in trouble, quickly call them to bring the people back."

"But what happened exactly?"

"Don't worry about it, just go! I'm not joking, if they die, our heads will roll too."

"Okay."

Ang Wei hung up the call in a panic.

"Sir, what about General Su Ming?"

Mez asked in great fear.

"I have to go and stall him personally."

Shi Fu had no choice and walked straight out of the office.

In the lounge area.

Su Ming was waiting impatiently.

At this moment, Shi Fu came over with Mez, smiling.

"Major Su Ming, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Who are you?"

Su Ming asked, staring coldly at Shi Fu.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Shi Fu, High-level Administrator of the Tasji Kingdom."

"Very well, where are the people?"

"Sir, we've found the people, but it will take some time. How about we grab a meal first, and relax in the hot springs?"
