Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 875 - 395: Signs (Five-in-One) _6

"It’s like this, someone is spreading rumors online about Gakels City Lord, Farren City Lord, and City Lord Alicia, saying they’re colluding with the Dark Star Empire and the Tianqi Empire."

Rhein said with a headache.

"Isn’t this pure nonsense? Do people actually believe such low-level rumors?"

After hearing this, Su Ming said helplessly.

"You’re right, at first we didn’t believe it either and didn’t take it seriously. But the problem is, people below were already harboring grudges, and as a result, over here in Starlight City, someone accused Farren City Lord of being the traitor."

"How could Farren be a traitor? Isn’t he a sworn enemy of the Dark Star Empire’s Third Army?"

Su Ming said, furrowing his brows.

"Yeah, they claim that Farren City Lord colluded with the Dark Star Empire, deliberately sending troops into encirclement to trick the Federation Forces into their deaths! People in Sky Dome City got furious when they heard this and accused Galcks of being the traitor, saying he’s being inactive and selling out his companions. Furthermore, they claim our Thirteenth Legion is secretly colluding with the Dark Star Empire, playing a double act; otherwise, how could we have breached the Dark Star Empire’s defenses and returned safely."

Zhang Yi said angrily to Su Ming.

"They really dare to talk."

Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly.

"That’s not all, people from Rain Capital originally stood out as mediators to persuade, but people from Sky Dome City and Starlight City started blasting them, launching map attacks. They said City Lord Alicia harbors malicious intent, colluding with the Tianqi Empire, deliberately holding back, watching the Federation Forces getting beaten by the Dark Star Empire! Suddenly, everyone was accusing each other, and the problem is there’s a large group of idiots following the trend, and soon the situation got completely out of control. Fights were breaking out everywhere, and there were even incidents where people got killed."

Rhein added with a headache.

"What’s the reaction of the three city lords?"

Su Ming asked with a tightly knitted brow.

"The three city lords are also very angry; this isn’t just about shaking their foundations, right? So they issued martial law orders and sent people to arrest, and now the prison is full of people, everyone is trying to pull strings to get people out."

Rhein said helplessly.

"Forget it, let’s not get involved in these matters, let’s just do our thing."

Su Ming said rationally.

"Yes."

Rhein and the others responded in unison.

"I have two things for you to do now: one is to keep an eye on the goods being shipped to the Wind Moving, and the other is to take good care of this plant, make sure not to lose it."

Su Ming opened the suitcase and took out the potted plant, handing it to Rhein.

"What kind of plant is this, I’ve never seen it, is it valuable?"

Rhein took it and asked curiously.

"Yeah, it’s worth some money, about 100 billion."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"My god, that expensive! Boss, you’re not joking with us, right?"

Rhein and the others were immediately shocked.

"Do I look like someone who’s joking?"

Su Ming said with a smile.

"We better take turns watching it; if we really lost it, selling ourselves wouldn’t be enough to pay for it."

Rhein and the others swallowed hard, feeling the pressure.

"No need to be so tense, just relax. I won’t talk to you guys now, I need to visit the council for some matters."

Su Ming said to Rhein and the others.

"Okay!"

Rhein and the others nodded.

"Ankaga, give me the key to my black sports car."

Su Ming turned to Ankaga and said.

"Here you go, boss!"

Ankaga took out the key and tossed it to Su Ming.

"I’m off."

Su Ming took the key and left directly.

Starlight City.

Outside the Federation Government Administrative Building.

Su Ming parked the black sports car in the designated parking space, then got out and headed towards the building.

When he entered the building and reached the lobby, it was bustling with staff and officers.

Su Ming walked straight to the back door.

Moments later, Su Ming arrived at the 7th floor of the Council Tower.

When he came out of the elevator, he found himself in a giant circular hall.

The whole hall was very busy, with many officers handling business; every service window had clear signs.

Su Ming quickly spotted the reimbursement window.

He then followed the procedure, went to the self-service machine in the corner of the hall, printed out the reimbursement form, filled out his details, and then headed to the reimbursement window.

As he got close, he saw a brawny man with a crew cut, wearing a major’s uniform, and with a bold character, yelling at the man inside the window, who was wearing a work uniform and had a small mustache.

"You guys are too stingy, aren’t you? You only compensate me with a second-hand Gun Knight?"

"What else?"

"At least give me a new one!"

"Why would we give you a new one? The Gun Knight you used during service was second-hand to begin with, who knows how many years it’s been used. Now we’re compensating you with a second-hand one, what’s the problem?"

"There is, and it’s a big problem, I was damaged for the Federation, it should compensate me with a new one."

"Dream on! You want a new one, he wants a new one, where would the Federation get so much money? Besides, if new ones are so easy to replace, everyone will want new ones and won’t cherish their mecha, wantonly destroying them, how does that work? Do you want this second-hand one or not?"

"I... want it."

The brawny man responded awkwardly.

Su Ming pondered for a moment; although the service staff’s words were unpleasant, he was indeed correct, so he sat down on the waiting chair behind the window.

He took out the reimbursement form, looked at the material exchange application, and muttered to himself.

"It’s pretty fair here, exchanging materials shouldn’t be a problem."
