Chapter 579

Outside Purgatory Gate, on a planet in the Federal Government's headquarters, a blond young man stepped out of the Outland Battlefield's teleportation array.

The young man looked sixteen or seventeen years old. He was slender and had a pair of amber eyes that shone brightly.

"I've been away from the Outland Battlefield for more than a month. My cultivation level has finally broken through to Supreme Deity. Now my combat effectiveness is probably no weaker than a nine-star Half-Step True God. I just don't know what Gu Ding has done in the past forty days … "

The young man's lips curled up slightly. As he muttered to himself, he turned on the communication function of the intelligent wristwatch on his wrist.

As soon as the communication function was turned on, dozens of message prompts came one after another. He checked them one by one. A moment later, his face changed dramatically.

"Gu Ding was arrested and publicly announced the dissolution of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew?! How could this be? "

This young man was Reid, who had grown up with Gu Ding. Before Gu Ding was arrested, he had entered an Outland Battlefield and stayed there for more than forty days. It was only now that he had come out of the Outland Battlefield. He was surprised to see Gu Ding's news.

"This news was from thirty-five days ago. The prison where he was imprisoned is Purgatory Gate." Reid frowned. "This is troublesome. Purgatory Gate is a special prison that does not require a trial. No one can be released until the end of their sentence, and the shortest sentence is a hundred years … With Gu Ding's character, he can't even stay in the same room for three days. It's hard to imagine what will happen if he is imprisoned for a hundred years …"

As he thought about countermeasures, Reid flipped through the messages on his wristwatch. Suddenly, his finger that was sliding across the projection screen stopped.

"Hmm? An email from the Elder Council? And there's more than one! "

The so-called Elder Council was officially known as the House of Representatives. Since the members of the House of Representatives were all respected elders in the Federal Government, it was also known as the Elder Council.

The people in the Elder Council were not as weak as many people thought they were. Instead, they were formed by some senior officials of the Federal Government after they retired. Any one of them would have a status that was not inferior to Marshal Ba Lin and the others when they held real power in their hands.

Although the individual subordinates of the Elder Council had no real power, the entire Elder Council had amazing influence. This was because the Senate of Elders had the right to influence the decisions of the leader of the Federation Government, and they could also veto some unreasonable decisions made by the leader.

Therefore, when such an organization suddenly sent him several letters, Reid was very puzzled.

Putting Gu Ding's question aside, Reed clicked on one of the letters.

There was not much content in this letter, only a few lines. After reading it, Reid opened a few other emails.

After putting the letters together and reading them several times, Reid had a rough idea of what was going on.

The contents of these letters were roughly the same. Each letter came from a different person in the Council of Elders. More accurately, they came from different factions within the Council of Elders.

As for the content, it was mostly about how the chief seat of the Elder Council had been vacated, and how many factions were fighting over it. Several factions were recruiting all kinds of capable newcomers to help prepare for the election. The other party felt that his resume was extraordinary and admired him. In any case, all the letters were similar in terms of pleasantries.

After reading the letter, Reid also felt a little amused. He had only joined the Federal Government for less than a year, yet someone from the Senate had already noticed him. Furthermore, they had even checked his resume. They hadn't even seen him in person, yet they had already expressed their admiration for him.

Only a black letter with white words on a white background caught Reid's attention. This letter had twenty-five words and was written in twenty-five different passwords. Even for Reid, it took him more than 10 minutes to crack the password of the letter and read the true content of the letter.

'Do you want to save Gu Ding? If you do, we'll meet in seven days at Tara Planet's port, nine o 'clock in the morning.'

'This email was sent six days ago. Fortunately, I made it in time. I just don't know if this is a trap or if the other party really has a way to save Gu Ding. '

Reid narrowed his eyes slightly. The relationships in the Federal Government were complicated. If he was not careful and got involved, he might be killed to keep him quiet. However, he thought about it carefully. With the network security of the Federal Government's headquarters, the message came from the Council of Elders. This could not be faked. Moreover, with his current status, the highest officials he could come into contact with were only at the level of Marshal Bahrain. There had been no news about Marshal Bahrain recently, so the possibility of the Council of Elders being involved was not high.

'It doesn't matter if it's true or not, I still have to go.' Reid quickly made up his mind.

Tara Planet was in the same star sector as Jelle, where Reid was. With Reid's current strength and cultivation level, he did not even need a teleporter. He could just use Space Diversion to get there.

The next morning, Reid arrived on Tara Planet before the appointed time.

He scanned the area with his Soul Power and was relieved when he found no danger.

He saw a small shop selling fried buns not far away. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly as he walked toward the shop.

Back on Cerule, he and Gu Ding would occasionally have fried buns for breakfast. When he saw them occasionally, he missed those times and could not help but want to try them.

Reid brought out a bowl of fried buns. As he ate, he kept an eye on his surroundings. He did not forget to check the time.

Before he finished eating the last fried bun, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You look quite relaxed." The man looked at the fried bun that Reid brought to his mouth, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

Reid stuffed the bun into his mouth and swallowed it in a few bites. Then, he looked at the man carefully. The man in front of him looked to be in his forties. He was slightly plump, and his appearance was not very eye-catching. The hair on both sides of his temples had already turned white. However, his eyes shone with a strange light, and Reid could not help but look at him a few more times.

"Are you the person who asked to meet me here?" Reid asked even though he already knew the answer.

"Help me get the position of chief. I'll be your most solid support in the future! Whatever you want, we can talk about it! "The man directly stated his intention, and Reid was a little stunned.

"You said in your email that you have a way to save Gu Ding. Tell me about it." Reid had already guessed the man's intention. He did not immediately agree to it. Instead, he asked.

"I don't have a way now. But if you help me get the position of chief, I'll have a way." The corner of the man's mouth curled up again, and he looked as if his plot had succeeded.
