Abyss Solo

Chapter 108: 066 Counterattack begins!

“””

At the same time.

“This is really strange.”

Lulian looked at the intelligence summary handed to him, took the coffee delivered from the side, and slowly walked through the first-floor hall of the villa.

“What is it, boss?”

The young man beside him asked a bit nervously.

...

Lulian said, puzzled, “In the nine days we’ve been handling the rebellion on the Fifth Administrative Star, our opponent, that guy named Yang Ming, has been indulging in debauchery with the Second Prince? Constantly visiting those damned pleasure spots?”

“Yes, boss.”

“Could it be that we’ve misjudged? That Yang Ming is not a peer from the Sherman Empire?”

Lulian rubbed his temples, carefully examining the report.

The report was detailed, with several segments of surveillance video sampled using technical means, showing the Second Prince and Yang Ming politely interacting with different young women.

Such a lifestyle was truly enviable.

“Is there anything unusual?” Lulian asked.

“There is,” his subordinate quickly replied, “although the Second Prince and Yang Ming visit these pleasure spots, they haven’t taken any women outside with them! Are they just going to feast their eyes? I can’t understand it.”

“Are you an idiot?” Lulian frowned at the young man before him, “This is the Second Prince of the Luofeng Empire. Does he lack women to accompany him to bed? The image of the royal family is the thing the Emperor of the Luofeng Empire cares about the most. This is the last dignity of a puppet emperor. Are you sure you’ve done your homework on the Wind?”

“Yes, yes, boss,” the young intelligence officer immediately replied, “if you mean those over 3600 pages of summary files on the Wind, I have indeed finished reading them.”

“Then learn to engage your brain before speaking!”

Lulian threw the military-grade tablet into his subordinate’s arms.

“Where are these two targets now?”

“At a plebeian store, singing and dancing. Our people report that they were happily dancing five minutes ago and that two girls earned considerable tips.”

Lulian muttered, “How about the Imperial Palace?”

“The Emperor of the Wind summoned the First Prince, the Third Prince, and twelve ministers from various departments for a meeting, which started half an hour ago. There’s been no news since.”

“They didn’t call the Second Prince?”

“That’s right.”

Lulian was full of puzzlement, “What task is Yang Ming executing? Is it to mess up the royal wealth controlled by the Second Prince? That certainly is a tempting treasure.”

“But, boss, we all know that once the Old Emperor dies, if either the First Prince or the Third Prince ascends, the wealth in the Second Prince’s hands will be taken overnight. That is the Emperor’s private property.”

“I wasn’t asking for your opinion, go work.”

Lulian frowned and dismissed the increasingly presumptuous young man, sitting on the sofa behind the command post.

So far, they were progressing very smoothly.

Lulian smiled slightly, gazing at the giant projection screen in front of him, divided into dozens of zones.

This villa had been converted into a fortress, with many hidden security devices on the periphery and an internal information exchange command center, a collection center for some high-tech of the New Federation.

Lulian began to enjoy the hot drink his subordinate had brought, stretching his neck, sore from days of intense work.

He had to apologize to himself for the previous negligence.

‘You suffered humiliation, Lulian.’

However, Lulian did not retaliate against Gudun Mah.

Not that he thought a kick to the backside was no big deal, though it was somewhat comfortable. Their current stage required steady relations with the Wind’s military forces, showing goodwill to Gudun Mah and actively reconciling was the wisest choice.

Now, a week had passed since Lulian’s second meeting with Gudun Mah, and they had already achieved impressive results. This was the direct benefit brought about by temporary endurance.

The uprising on the Fifth Administrative Star proceeded smoothly, capturing the first city.

Later, as long as the Sherman Empire didn’t react, they could easily capture the second and third cities, allowing the uprising to engulf the Fifth Administrative Star.

In these times, the least lacking are people with ambition.

The rebel force could quickly blossom everywhere, and then they could form a joint parliament, allowing the Fifth Administrative Star to essentially become independent, taking a crucial step in dismembering the Luofeng Empire.

To support this Torch Plan strategic objective, everything was now fully prepared. Once their backbone forces took their positions in Ilando City, they could officially launch.

‘This Yang Ming…’

Lulian slid his finger across the air, and several projection screens popped up on their own, showing Yang Ming’s recent activity trajectory.

‘What task have you been assigned?’

Lulian slightly squinted his eyes.

As a rule, the most direct means to find out how skilled such a suspected peer is and their real identity was to set up an assassination.

They had many means to eliminate biological targets.

For example, mosquito bombs a few millimeters long, capable of drilling into the crevices of vehicles, completing a headshot at the moment of biting the target’s skin. Alternatively, manipulating the vehicle’s central control system to directly cause several cars to crash, fabricating a traffic accident scene. Even using some neurotoxins that no one could detect specific components of, by just lightly brushing against someone.

They had plenty of similar methods.

“Boss! A new situation has appeared!”

The young man’s sudden shout caused several drops of the hot drink in Lulian’s hand to spill, and also made the intelligence officers busy in various parts of the villa turn to look at the source of the noise.

Lulian frowned, “Can you be a bit more graceful, my dear assistant?”
