Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 642 - 512: Dragged Into the Water

In Qu Jianlei's memory, the Imperial is always very iron-blooded, and there's simply no such thing as "too much slaughter."

Youyou and Xiao Moshan also said that if necessary, the Imperial Military could destroy a habitable star without hesitation.

Xiang Xue shook her head at this, "It's different. The Blade Star Realm not only has a large population but also many Supremes..."

As she put it, the Imperial originally wanted to unleash a massacre there.

However, after mistakenly killing a group of people, it provoked a deranged retaliation from two Supremes, particularly targeting the military leaders.

The Supremes' relentless vengeance even gave the military a headache, especially as these two incited increasingly fierce acts of retaliation.

In the end, these two Supremes were brought to justice, but the Imperial also changed its approach to dealing with the Blade Star Realm.

Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the people of the Blade Star Realm are still very fierce, almost no outsiders dare to cause trouble in this star realm.

Fortunately, the Imperial's "push and pull" strategy has also been effective, allowing for some degree of effective management of the Blade Star Realm.

However, this "effective" management still doesn't match the level of control over other star realms.

Especially some indigenous forces in the Blade Star Realm, when cornered, they will still take action against the government or the military.

The Cyan Blade Chamber of Commerce was initially a local force in this star realm, and only later, after conducting its business in other star realms, did it dilute its local flavor.

However, since they wanted to do business, various conflicts of interest were inevitably involved.

When conflicts became unavoidable, they not only fought fiercely but also used any means to attack.

The Cyan Blade Commerce Association is infamous, but they have also encountered tough opponents and were beaten into a sorry state.

There were two instances where they had to voluntarily retreat to the Blade Star Realm and went incognito for a long time.

Qu Jianlei nodded hearing this, "It seems that there was once an encounter with Scavengers."

Xiang Xue shook her head at this, "I'm not very clear on the specifics... the Imperial has sealed the related information very tightly."

"That's expected," Zi Jiu Immortal nodded hearing this, "it's to prevent other star realms from imitating."

Aunt Liu smiled as she listened, knowing that the female professor valued protocols and supported official measures, but what she said might not be entirely true.

"Regional culture isn't that easy to cultivate, involving cultural genes, it's hard to imitate."

Xiang Xue sighed, "It's disgusting, most of my stuff is missing, what is this!"

"That Storage Talisman is in the hands of a B-level with an Electromagnetic Attribute," Qu Jianlei answered solemnly.

"I'll look into this person's background later... However, he has a Supreme lover on the way to Star No. 4."

"A Supreme?" Aunt Liu was taken aback and asked, "Did you kill this Electromagnetic Awakener?"

"If I don't kill them, should I keep them until New Year?" Qu Jianlei answered indifferently, "This time they've brought two Supremes."

"Two Supremes?" Even Xiang Xue was shocked this time, forgetting to complain about the lost items.

"Are they arriving soon, where are they coming from?"

"Coming from Star No. 3," Qu Jianlei answered solemnly, "anyway, at least one Supreme."

Aunt Liu frowned and asked nervously, "What's their name... you can write it down."

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet, but in all likelihood, I can't stay at the academy anymore."

Aunt Liu also shook her head, "You still don't understand how terrifying Supremes are, the academy is actually the safest place."

Terrified of Supremes? Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "I promised Cheng Qingshan not to bring trouble into the academy."

Xiang Xue blinked and looked at him skeptically, "You're not planning to face two Supremes alone, are you?"

Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, he asked helplessly, "Who else can I rely on?"

"I'll contact my family," Xiang Xue answered seriously, "we can't let you take the risk alone."

Zi Jiu Immortal also nodded hearing this, "Yes, the risk is too great, and there are people from Bida."

"Bida..." Qu Jianlei frowned and shook his head helplessly.

He was a very proud person, but facing such a situation, he could only sigh, "Then let's deal with it little by little."

Xiang Xue was not happy to hear this, "The way you put it, it sounds like others are afraid of trouble, my family doesn't have that gene."

"Our organization isn't afraid of trouble either," Aunt Liu said solemnly, "but I still have to report this situation first."

Watching her get up and leave, Qu Jianlei took out his watch and sent a text message to Hertman.

"When are you free? I want to discuss something in person."

The Guard Captain replied almost instantly, "There's been a serious incident in the Earth District, I can come over after breakfast."

Qu Jianlei shook his head and began to tally up his gains.

Just then, Xiang Xue exclaimed softly, "Electromagnetic Body Technique... this is a good thing."

Qu Jianlei took the small booklet from her hand, glanced through it, and nodded slightly.

"No wonder that guy's body technique was so fast, turns out it was genuine... could I borrow it for a few days to sort it out?"

"It's your trophy!" Xiang Xue waved her hand, readily agreeing.

"If you don't mind, could I copy it?"

"Go ahead and copy it," Qu Jianlei handed the booklet back, "by the way, try to help me understand the Cyan Blade Commerce Association."

He did get some information from Camille, but still felt it was lacking.

Xiang Xue looked at Aunt Liu, who hesitated for a moment and nodded, "There should be some news within the organization, I need to inquire to find out."

The three women absorbed the information brought back by Qu Jianlei before getting up to leave.

Qu Jianlei then set up the full-screen tent once again, crawled in to sort through the items on the three corpses.

To his surprise, a button on the Comet's clothes was actually disguised as a storage device.

This storage device had a positioning function, but it was destroyed by that Thunder Dragon attack.

The bad news was that much of the data inside was also damaged.

Little Lake went in to experience it and gloomily said, "The data is incomplete, it's too troublesome to organize... there's work to be done."

"There's no way to just stop, right?" Qu Jianlei muttered softly.

If he had played it safe a bit more at the time, he might not have survived, "We'll sort as much as we can."

Hertman arrived at the academy just after breakfast time.

He looked visibly tired, weakly asking, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Qu Jianlei asked in a deep voice, "What does the incident in the Earth District early this morning have to do with your group?"

Hertman frowned and answered, "That's a pretty troublesome organization, the Cyan Blade Commerce Association..."

After a pause, he looked at Qu Jianlei with astonishment, "Panda, wouldn't have something to do with your group, right?"

"They want to deal with me," Qu Jianlei spread his hands helplessly, "They made the first move."

Hertman blinked, looking incredulous.

After a while, he tentatively spoke, "Are you saying... Bida Freight is dealing with you because of the Cyan Blade Commerce Association?"

Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing this, and replied lightly, "Fundamentally, it's them who instructed the Customs Enforcement Division to deal with me."

"Hiss," Hertman sucked his teeth, displaying a pained expression.

He truly was a bit at a loss, "The size of this association is really quite large, I suggest you lay low."

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "It's not about me hiding, but that this group is dealing with me because of Kushnier."

"Darn it..." The Guard Captain's eyes widened upon hearing this.

He raised a hand to rub his temple before speaking in frustration, "Will it involve the boss?"

"I can't be sure about that," Qu Jianlei shook his head.

Actually, he's ninety percent sure that the Cyan Blade Commerce Association's target is the Qi Gathering Array in Kushnier's possession, supposedly not involving Hoyel.

But the assassination of Kushnier was originally authorized by Hertman's boss.

Qu Jianlei understood the other's reluctance to get involved, however, always staying out of it wasn't right.

He indeed collected an additional five million silver coins from the other side, but also dealt with numerous disputes after the assassination, which seems fair to Hoyel.

Facing both the Cyan Blade Commerce Association and Bida, he's truly feeling a bit overwhelmed, even with adding the Earth Scholar, he lacks confidence.

Therefore, securing support from Hoyel Mansion becomes crucial.

He disliked bothering others, but facing such powerful adversaries and trying to be pedantic would be suicidal.

"Tsk," Hertman sucked his teeth again, this news was quite troublesome indeed.

As the Guard Captain, he was very aware of why the Cyan Blade Commerce Association could instill fear.

He shook his head, "Then I need to strengthen the protection for the boss, sorry, can't help much."

Qu Jianlei looked at him and thoughtfully asked, "Your boss can't compete with the Cyan Blade Commerce Association?"

"How could it be possible to compete?" The Guard Captain chuckled bitterly and shook his head, "Even in terms of absolute strength, they couldn't compete."

"Not to mention these guys have records of assassinating high officials, and by any means necessary, I have to ensure the boss's safety."

Being in a high position really makes one fear death! Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly.

"I don't need you to help with anything, there are one or two Supremes from the Cyan Blade Commerce Association currently heading from Star No. 3."

"Two Supremes..." Hertman's complexion changed slightly, "Is the information reliable?"

"Should be reliable," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Can you get the names of these two Supremes?"

"If you can also track their whereabouts, that would be even better."

"That's not difficult," Hertman answered without hesitation, Supremes are specifically registered and managed.

Occasionally a wild Supreme might appear, but once under official scrutiny, they can't escape.

Moreover, on Star No. 3 there are plenty of Supremes, a Supreme wanting to hide is difficult, let alone two.

He confidently stated, "If the information is accurate, I can give you the list by the afternoon at the latest."

"By the way," Qu Jianlei took out a small transparent bag, inside were three nail clippings.

"These three people's identities... I'll trouble you to do a genetic comparison."
