Chapter 199
Lu Junzhi looked at the information sent back with a sullen face.
“This was a new type of mecha that the empire had just replaced for the garrison that year. Even the deep space fleet had just replaced a batch not long ago, and we were the first batch.” Zhou Xu’s face was also ugly, which meant that there were actually arms deals within the empire with these pirate groups and interstellar wanted criminals.
“Let Tern lead the second fleet to station near El Star and wait for the order,” Lu Junzhi said.
“Yes!” Zhou Xu saluted, turned around, and went out.
Chu Muxi was wearing the newly developed video tracker by Gavin and the others, which was able to evade various current detection instruments.
A piece as thin as a cicada’s wing was attached to Chu Muxi’s forehead, so it wasn’t out of place.
But Chu Muxi still kept his head down as much as possible and remained alert.
If it had been just an ordinary pirate group, they wouldn’t have been able to deal with it, but these people had actually gotten the empire’s latest mecha. And it wasn’t as simple as one or two; it was directly dozens of mechas.
With such a large number of mechas, even if they had been transported out of the central star openly, they would have attracted the attention of others.
Furthermore, they had been transported to a place so far away from the empire secretly.
How many levels did they have to go through?
He had actually come here without any obstruction, which showed how huge the relationship behind this matter was.
Lu Junzhi thought the same way, and for the first time, he felt regretful.
Especially after hearing what Vincent had said to Chu Muxi, Lu Junzhi had wanted to break Vincent’s neck.
But now he was more worried about Chu Muxi’s safety.
Chu Muxi followed Casey and Vincent to the restaurant, where a long table was placed.
The table was already filled with a variety of dishes. Chu Muxi glanced at it casually and saw many ingredients that were only available in some of the special restaurants on the central star he had been to.
The identity of the boss behind Vincent was becoming more and more mysterious, but Chu Muxi was basically certain that the boss behind Vincent was the Sun family.
The Sun family had been able to transport such a large number of mechas to this place.
They had been able to bypass the monitoring of the Deep Space Fleet, which meant that there must have been another passage nearby.
It should have been a jump point that had never been shown on the star map.
Only in this way could they have conducted arms smuggling transactions without being detected by the deep space fleet.
“Everyone, please sit down. You’ve worked hard all the way, and you must be starving,” Vincent said with a smile and invited them to sit down.
Casey sat down first and then motioned for Chu Muxi to sit as well.
“Let’s get started,” Vincent said very politely.
Chu Muxi started eating without ceremony. With Casey there, Vincent wouldn’t tamper with the food.
Still, he was careful and only ate food that Casey had eaten.
“Vincent, my boss wants to meet with your boss,” halfway through the meal, Casey suddenly said.
“I’m afraid I can’t do this,” Vincent said with some embarrassment.
Casey had just been sending messages to the boss behind him. When he heard Vincent’s answer, he smiled and said, “You can ask your boss first. Maybe he’s willing to meet with my boss.”
Vincent raised his eyebrows. “Oh? Why do you think so? My boss almost never shows up in front of others, and it’s even difficult for me to see him.”
Casey said firmly, “Because my boss has what he wants.”
