Chapter 796

Gu Ding was not surprised to see the man. He was just curious as to why he reeked of alcohol even though he had not started drinking. "Uncle, you're here!"

"Gu Ding, he's the one who sent the message to the Federal Government!" Neptune suddenly spoke.

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows and looked at the man. He was the stubbled middle-aged man who had treated Gu Ding's crew to a meal yesterday.

"Uncle, are you from the Federal Government?" Gu Ding asked directly.

The stubbled middle-aged man was stunned, but he nodded. "You've found out … My name is Smith, and I'm part of the Federal Government Intelligence Directorate's Foreign Relations Department. Our department is responsible for collecting intelligence and contacting other forces in the Grand Cosmic Sea. "

"So, you were the one who revealed our arrival to the Federal Government?" Gu Ding continued to ask.

"That's right, but we already knew that you pirates had entered the Grand Cosmic Sea. We just didn't have any concrete evidence. All I did was secretly take a photo to prove that you had indeed entered the Grand Cosmic Sea. "Smith did not deny what he had done.

"You've seen Phaser's combat prowess. Why did you take the risk to approach us? You should know that you're not a friend to us. "Gu Ding did not understand why Smith would take the risk to approach him after completing his mission.

"I know that for a long time, the Interstellar Pirates and the Federal Government have been enemies. It's hard to change this perception. However, since you've entered the Grand Cosmic Sea, you must know something else. In the Grand Cosmic Sea, the tribe is the most important. We, no matter what force we are, belong to the same tribe. To some extent, this means that we're all in the same boat.

"In the human Grand Cosmic Sea, the various forces may be very antagonistic to each other, but in the Grand Cosmic Sea, the strength of the tribe must come first. Of course, in the Grand Cosmic Sea, the human forces are not monolithic. Various forces will occasionally clash, but when there's a real crisis, the major forces will unite against the outside world. That's because we all know very well that our biggest enemy is not each other, but the alien tribes.

"The reason I came to find you this time is to tell you something so that you can be prepared for the upcoming crisis." Smith paused for a moment. He looked left and right, but didn't find anyone suspicious. "The golden-haired kid Phaser just killed is called Higgins. He's the only son of the Oceanids' finance minister, and one of the four most dazzling geniuses of the Oceanids."

"The Oceanic Race will send people to kill us. This is already within our expectations." Gu Ding did not care too much. Since he was ready to fight, he had already considered the consequences.

"You still don't understand. Right now, the Sea Race's most powerful forces are the royal family, the military, and the Ministry of Finance. Higgins's father was called Hayer, and he was the highest-ranking official in the Ministry of Finance. He controlled the economic lifeline of the Seafolk, and his words carried a lot of weight with the imperial family. Haggins himself was an extremely dazzling genius of the Sea Race, and even the Sea Race Emperor valued him highly. Now that he was dead, the Sea Race would probably use all their strength to take revenge. Furthermore, with Hayer's personality, it's extremely likely that he'll hire powerful assassins to take revenge. With his wealth, the assassins he hires definitely won't be simple. " Smith felt that Gu Ding might not have fully grasped the seriousness of the situation, so he explained it to him in detail.

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Uncle." Gu Ding's attitude remained indifferent.

Smith felt a little helpless when he saw Gu Ding's attitude. "You don't look like you're worried about the Sea Race's revenge at all."

"What's going to happen will happen. That blond kid is already dead, and that's an unchangeable fact. If the Sea Race wants revenge, let them come. We'll take them on. It's still unknown who will have the last laugh! "Gu Ding's answer was also very calm.

Smith was obviously stunned when he heard this. Only now did he realize that he had really underestimated Gu Ding and his crew.

He had originally thought that such a newcomer crew would blindly follow the rules and be careful after entering the Grand Cosmic Sea. Only by following the rules of the game could they live longer. However, Gu Ding's crew did not seem to care about the rules at all. They did not even care about the third-ranked first-rate tribe in the Grand Cosmic Sea. Although they were arrogant, it proved that they had enough confidence and strength.

Gu Ding put down the empty glass in his hand and slammed a Power Stone on the bar counter. He pointed at Smith who was next to him and shouted at the owner, "Boss, we'll pay for his drinks too. Keep the change."

With that, he left with Neptune.

By the time the two of them returned to the port, Phaser had already looted the pile of Sea Race corpses in front of a group of people.

The local police had also removed the corpses and cleaned up the scene. It was obvious that this was not the first time something like this had happened.

After entering the spaceship, Gu Ding found that Phaser was humming happily.

"What's wrong with him?" Gu Ding looked at Dockett who was beside him.

"Because the loot this time is extremely rich. Also, this kid didn't even let go of those people's spaceships. He directly contacted a black market buyer to get rid of those three spaceships," Dockett said with a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"Don't talk nonsense. It was obviously the black market buyer who contacted me first. I didn't even think about selling the spaceships," Phaser corrected him immediately. She then tossed a storage wristwatch to Gu Ding. "This is the blond kid's wristwatch. There are quite a lot of good stuff in it. I've also thrown the other spoils of war that I don't need into it."

"There are so many source energy crystals?" Gu Ding looked at the wristwatch and was a little surprised.

There were billions of Light Energy Crystals in Heggins's storage space.

"His dad probably embezzled it from the Sea Race. He didn't dare put it on the books, so he piled it up and put it in the Inventory. There are more than six billion of them. His dad probably has more than he does. " Neptune also came over. He didn't even need to touch it to see what was in the storage space.

Gu Ding carefully looked at the other things. There were many other cultivation resources in Heggins' Inventory. However, to Gu Ding, they were not very useful. What he needed the most now was a special item that contained a lot of energy to break through to true god-level. None of the loot met that requirement.

"Huh, what's this?" Gu Ding suddenly found a palm-sized pyramid-shaped black metal block at the bottom of the Inventory.

After taking the metal block out, Gu Ding realized that there was a strange pattern printed at the bottom of the metal block.

"There's nothing special about it. It's just that this metal block is very resistant to corrosion …" Neptune took it and fiddled with it. He was obviously stunned when he saw the pattern at the bottom. It took him a moment to recover.

"Is there anything special about that pattern?" Gu Ding also noticed Neptune's abnormality.

"That pattern is a map. It's just that it's encrypted so that people can't distinguish it." As Neptune spoke, he took out a pen and outlined the map hidden in the pattern at the bottom of the pyramid. "If I'm not mistaken, this pyramid-like metal should be a key to open the treasure on the map."

…

At the Sea Race Headquarters, Finance Minister Hayer was presiding over a financial meeting. At that moment, an assistant rushed in.

"Do you have any manners?! Is this a financial meeting for you?! "Hayer roared at the bespectacled female assistant.

"Sir, it's a personal matter of yours. It's related to your son. It's very important." The female assistant was about to cry.

Hayer frowned and waved at the female assistant.

The female assistant immediately stepped forward and whispered the news of Higgins' death into Hayer's ears.

"What?!" Before he could finish, Hayer slammed his palm on the conference table, and the conference table made of special materials directly exploded.

"Are you sure that my son is dead? Hayer took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down a little before asking. "Is it just a rumor that's spreading outside?"

This time, he had forgotten to use voice transmission. Everyone in the conference room heard him clearly and was a little surprised.

"Someone took a video and put it on Skynet, and there's more than one. There are seven clear and complete versions. I've already asked an expert to take a look at them. It's definitely not fake. "The female assistant nodded and gave a definite answer.

"Send me all the videos! Also, thoroughly investigate the matter. I want to see the results of your investigation before five o 'clock this afternoon. Remember, don't let go of any clues! "A sharp glint flashed in Hayer's eyes.

After the female assistant left, Hayer's gaze swept across everyone present. "That's all for today's meeting. I don't want anyone to spread what you just heard. Meeting dismissed! "

Everyone in the conference room left in fear and trepidation. Many of them knew that a storm was about to descend.

Hayer closed the door to the conference room and began watching the videos of Phaser and Heggins' conflict. After watching the seven clear videos, he clicked open the other videos that were not as clear and watched them one by one.

Although one of the videos was not too clear, it recorded the scene of Phaser checking the spoils of war. When Hayer saw Phaser take off Heggins' Storage Watch, his eyes turned terrifyingly cold.

"That damned human. Looks like I'll have to take action personally this time. That key can't fall into the hands of others … The pain of losing my son is a good excuse. I'll have a chance to retrieve the key with my own hands …" Hayer froze the image and stared at Phaser's face on the projection screen. His gaze was as if he was looking at a corpse.
