Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 830 - 389 Stingy (Five-in-One)

Okens’s heart sank instantly at this, panic-stricken as he replied.

"How is that possible! Are you mistaken somewhere? Is this written by Council Chairman?"

"That’s right, this is indeed the Chairman’s handwriting, but it’s from when he was healthy. Ever since the Chairman got injured, his handwriting hasn’t been this strong."

Commander Alekde said with a very firm expression.

After hearing Commander Alekde’s words, Okens was dumbfounded for a moment, but he still stammered in defense.

"Could it be that the Chairman’s health improved, so his handwriting became strong again?"

"Okens, do you think I’m a three-year-old child? Do you think I have no informants in the Council? The Chairman hasn’t shown up, so where did you get this letter?"

"This was given to me by Lord Gakels, it can’t possibly have any issues."

"Can’t have any issues? Still arguing here, what exactly are you trying to do? Why hasn’t the Chairman appeared yet?"

Commander Alekde looked at Okens with eyes as cold as ice.

Upon hearing Alekde’s words, Okens felt like he’d been electrocuted, replying in terror.

"Alekde, what do you mean? You don’t think we did something to the Chairman to control the Council, do you?"

"What do you think?"

"Don’t falsely accuse us; how could we possibly do such a thing? We wouldn’t dare!"

"You don’t dare? Then let me ask you, the massive amounts of supplies the Military Department transports back from the Three Forbidden Zones every year far exceed those of the Dark Star Empire and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country! So what happened? The Federation grows poorer year by year, and in recent years the Federation’s industry and various sectors have all fallen behind the Dark Star Empire and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country. I ask you, where is the money?"

"We didn’t take the money!"

"Then who took it?"

Commander Alekde stared at Okens and questioned.

"I don’t know, we really didn’t take that money; it was all approved by Lord Gakels."

Vice City Lord Okens didn’t know how to explain.

Even he felt his words were absurd.

"Are you saying he embezzled it all?"

"That’s impossible!"

"Humph, impossible? Then you embezzled it? What exactly are you trying to do? Seeing the Chairman delay in appearing, do you want to take that position?"

"Commander Alekde, it’s not as you imagine; even I can’t explain this. Perhaps I should go back and ask Lord Gakels."

"Enough of this, don’t play tricks with me. Have Lord Gakels come here and give me an explanation!"

"You’re putting me in a difficult position. Lord Gakels is presiding over the Council with so much on his shoulders; how could he come over?"

"I don’t care, if he doesn’t come and give me an explanation, I’ll lead my troops back and make everyone in the Council accountable!"

Commander Alekde instantly became extremely dangerous.

"You can’t do that!"

Vice City Lord Okens’s complexion changed drastically upon hearing this, speaking in extreme terror.

Okens knew very well that Commander Alekde truly dared to do this, as the first confidant of the Chairman, he commanded the Federation’s largest force, which only obeyed his orders.

If he truly led his troops back, the Council wouldn’t be able to suppress him. Moreover, if conflict erupted because of this, the Federation would truly be finished.

"Why can’t I? I’m not joking with you; you better give me an account."

Commander Alekde said coldly to Vice City Lord Okens.

"I..."

Okens didn’t know how to respond momentarily.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

"Who!"

Commander Alekde turned his head in fury to look.

A young woman walked in wearing a deep blue starry dress, her light purple hair tied up, adorned with a delicate golden phoenix hairpin, and a silver metallic mask covering her face.

Afterward, she closed the door again and addressed Commander Alekde softly.

"Alekde, no need to trouble Okens; he knows nothing."

"Miss!"

Commander Alekde was slightly startled, immediately greeting the young woman respectfully.

"Miss!"

Okens quickly saluted and spoke as well.

"Okens, you may leave now."

The purple-haired young woman said calmly.

"Yes!"

Okens replied with relief, then quickly left the room.

The purple-haired young woman walked straight to Commander Alekde’s seat, sat down elegantly, and spoke.

"I wrote that letter; I didn’t expect, after all these years, you’d remember Grandpa’s handwriting so clearly. Really diligent!"

"Thank you, Miss, for your praise. How is the Chairman’s health?"

Commander Alekde asked tensely.

The purple-haired young woman was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Not good, otherwise I wouldn’t be appearing here, nor misusing those funds. We might need to prepare in advance."

Commander Alekde’s heart clenched upon hearing this, his body trembling slightly. But he restrained his emotions and spoke hoarsely.

"Miss, what should I do?"

"For now, you only need to do two things: first, guard this place; second, keep an eye on the Mist Star Sea."

The purple-haired young woman said with eyes flickering.

"Miss, don’t worry, I will surely do well."

Upon hearing the young woman’s words, Commander Alekde immediately understood and replied firmly.

"Mm, with you here, I’m very reassured. Just give me some time, and I will definitely restore the family’s former glory."

The purple-haired young woman said with a firm tone to Commander Alekde.
