Chapter 905: The Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance moves out!
No one could have expected Xia Fei to use a demon chrysalis to swallow all of Pinnacle!
Right now, Pinnacle"s research station was in Little Goldie"s stomach, moving with it as the demon chrysalis swiftly swam through Dark s.p.a.ce.
Dark s.p.a.ce was completely different from conventional s.p.a.ce, and communication methods were impossible to use here. Right now, Pinnacle"s research station had completely lost contact with Fig Corporation and was entirely in Xia Fei"s hands!
This was an enormous acquisition. After all, Pinnacle represented Fig Corporation"s most advanced technology. Obtaining Pinnacle meant obtaining the support of Fig Corporation"s strongest technology! No amount of money could compare to this!
In the main control room, Xia Fei mercilessly broke Qing He"s legs and arms! He then threw him on the ground, where the old man convulsed in pain.
"You"re a Skywing! Once everyone hears that you stole Pinnacle"s research station, your entire clan will be exterminated!" Qing He was still struggling, even using Fig Corporation"s power to threaten Xia Fei.
Xia Fei smiled and squatted. *Pa pa!* He gave Qing He two hard slaps, causing teeth mixed with b.l.o.o.d.y spittle to fly out of the latter"s mouth! Qing He almost fained from the pain.
"I already did it. You think I"ll still fear your threats? Ridiculous."
Xia Fei turned around and tapped on the screen. Radix had left a message: [How did you manage to do it? This is absurd! By using a giant demon chrysalis to pull all of Pinnacle into Dark s.p.a.ce, not even Fig Corporation will be able to do anything!]
Xia Fei did not answer Radix"s question, typing back: "Take control of the s.p.a.ce station and restrict everyone"s movements. It will be terrible if someone manages to activate the self-destruct sequence."
Radix: [That"s not a problem. The entire s.p.a.ce station is currently under my control.]
Xia Fei said, "Give me a list of people who can be kept and people who need to be purged."
Taking control of Pinnacle Research Team was only the first step; the next step was to purge the entire station! Only those people whom Radix believed as reliable could survive. The rest would all be killed!
Radix paused, apparently urgently looking through Pinnacle"s internal files.
[I"ve never tried to take over Pinnacle"s s.p.a.ce station before, so I don"t know the people here. Perhaps these people can be kept, as they"re victims imprisoned on this s.p.a.ce station like me. The rest will need to be looked through carefully.]
Xia Fei shook his head. "There"s no need to look through them. For the sake of safety, everyone not imprisoned in Pinnacle is to be killed!"
[That would be more than forty thousand people!] Radix was shocked.
Xia Fei said, "To me, there"s no difference between forty thousand and four. In any case, all latent dangers must be exterminated as quickly as possible!"
...
Fig Corporation, board of directors emergency meeting.
The plump Mutso was constantly wiping his sweat. On the screen was a square-faced man. He was the chief of the company"s fast-response team; he had just arrived at the location of the incident.
"There"s nothing?! What the h.e.l.l does that mean?!" Mutso paled. "How could such a big deep-s.p.a.ce research station just disappear?!"
The entirety of the board of directors was also stunned!
Losing Pinnacle was a loss that Fig Corporation could not sustain! Many people might lose their lives because of it!
"I already spoke very clearly. The research station has disappeared, and there are no traces of it in the surroundings," replied the man firmly.
"Then why aren"t you looking for it?! Go already! Send out everyone you have!" Mutso shrilly yelled.
"We"re already searching. This incident is very likely linked to Yin Fei, who"s just been sent to Pinnacle, but I must urge the board of directors not to be too hopeful. Also, I don"t want you shouting at me because you don"t have that right!" the square-faced man declared.
The board of directors descended into chaos. The fast-response team"s chief was acting out against the board of directors?
Mutso was so angry that his face turned pale. He pointed at the man"s nose and cursed him out, but to his surprise, the man coldly said, "Do you still not get it? The loss of Pinnacle is your responsibility! I"ve already reported this matter to the chairman. You"re all dead!"
*Pa!*
He cut off the link between him and the board of directors.
*Zing~*
The twelve directors fell silent, becoming wooden like puppets.
Suddenly, another screen turned on, and an extremely frantic person reported to Mutso, "Sir, there"s a problem! The prison holding Flynn has been attacked! All 130 guards were killed, and Flynn has gone missing!"
"Oh, G.o.ds!" Mutso slammed the table in frustration. At this moment, he truly wanted to die!
It was obvious that the hijacking of Pinnacle and the prison break of Flynn were connected, or else they would have never happened in such quick succession! All of this was undoubtedly linked to Yin Fei!
There was no need to talk about Mutso"s dejection. Yin Fei had only been sent to Pinnacle a few days ago, and now, all of Pinnacle was gone!
...
*Whoosh~*
After turning off the screen, the square-faced chief of the fast-response team coldly muttered, "A pack of idiots. Someone who moved all of Pinnacle couldn"t be an ordinary figure. I can"t believe you expected me to remedy your loss!"
Suddenly, there was a flash of light behind him, and an elder wearing a blazing robe appeared.
A dark and cold aura engulfed this Fig Corporation"s special fast-response s.h.i.+p. The man was startled. He turned around, dropped his head, and softly said, "Chairman, I was wrong."
"Xiaolong, you did nothing wrong. Those do-nothings on the board of directors truly are idiots, and they indeed deserve death. If there"s someone who did anything, it"s me for being too careless, believing that no one would dare to touch Fig. In the end, someone managed to strike a lethal blow," the black-robed elder looked outside the window and muttered.
Xiaolong firmly nodded. "Chairman, what should I do now? Please give your order!"
The elder nodded. "Investigate the Law Realm and see which clan may have done this. Such a large operation couldn"t have been thought up in one or two days. They"ve clearly been planning this for years, so start with the enemies of Fig."
In truth, the chairman of Fig Corporation had truly overestimated Xia Fei. First, Xia Fei did not have any sort of deep-seated grudge against Fig Corporation. Second, Xia Fei really had not spent much time making this plan. He had simply been following his nature.
The elder paused a moment before continuing. "I heard that there"s some spatial instability nearby?"
"Yes! The radar indicates that at almost the same time Pinnacle sent out its emergency signal, there"s spatial instability in this region of stars. According to the a.n.a.lysis, someone probably opened an entrance to Dark s.p.a.ce here," Xiaolong hastily said.
"Dark s.p.a.ce?" the elder was surprised and worriedly said. "That isn"t part of our territory. Hmm… Get in touch with the Edusa Clan and borrow their Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance."
Xiaolong was astonished by this suggestion. "The Edusas are part of the Demon Race. If news gets out that Fig is colluding with the Demon Race, the company"s reputation will be damaged. Also, the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance is one of the strongest demon chrysalises of the Demon Race, the supreme treasure of the Edusa Clan. If they"re willing to mobilize it, it will be at an enormous price."
The elder smiled. "We can"t worry about such things right now. You may not understand what the true value of Pinnacle is. If we can"t get it back, Fig Corporation won"t have any reason to keep existing."
Xiaolong paled. The chairman believed that the loss of Pinnacle would lead to the end of Fig Corporation! Was Pinnacle"s status in the company really that irreplaceable?
"If you use my name, the Edusa Clan should show you some respect. Agree to their price no matter what it is. This isn"t a problem of money but whether or not Fig can continue existing, instead!" the elder strongly emphasized.
Xiaolong only now understood the gravity of the matter, and he hastily nodded.
"Understood! I"ll personally go to the Edusas and ask for them to mobilize their Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance! With this king of the Dark s.p.a.ce on our side, those scoundrels won"t be able to run!" Xiao Long sternly said.
The elder nodded. "Very good! Pinnacle has the best communication equipment in the Law Realm, so they"ll never dare to leave Dark s.p.a.ce, as we will notice them the moment they do. Still, you must move quickly. I suspect that there"s an expert among them who may be able to destroy that confinement system."
...
This was truly a single stone setting off a thousand ripples. Xia Fei"s theft of Pinnacle had thrown the entire universe into chaos! The mysterious chairman of Fig Corporation had even gone so far as to seek the help of the Demon Race in search of him!
Oro had once mentioned the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance. This was the king of demon chrysalises! It had ten thousand golden eyes and supreme combat might! If this giant being was truly sent to search for Xia Fei, it would probably cause him a great deal of trouble. The ability of a demon chrysalis to search Dark s.p.a.ce could not be underestimated. Not even the best hunting dog could compare!
In the snow-ridden Fiendish Wing Villa, Xia Ke and Xia Ke anxiously awaited news.
*Whoosh~*
Xia Guanghai appeared in the study in a flash. "It"s done. I saved that Professor Flynn and placed him in a good hiding spot."
Xia Ke nodded. "You left behind no evidence?"
Xia Guanghai smiled. "You guys can rest easy when I"m on the job. Xia Fei left us an opening in Fig Corporation, so we"re able to get in easily. No one could detect us when we used our clan"s methods."
Xia Guanghai seemed rather proud. When Xia Fei had been laying out his plan, he had had Alpha secretly work with the Skywing wolfpack, and their methods had been flawless.
"Why are you two so nervous?" Xia Guanghai frowned. "Where did Xia Fei go now?"
"Hah!" Xia Lianning sighed. "It"s gotten rather serious. Xia Fei is really too much. He stole all of Pinnacle!"
Xia Guanghai did not get it. "Pinnacle? What"s that? Didn"t the undying old man say that it doesn"t matter what Xia Fei does, since the old man will clean everything up, even hold up the sky if it falls? What are you all so depressed for?"
Xia Guanghai was as frivolous as ever, referring to the grand ancestor as the "undying old man".
Xia Ke and Xia Lianning both stared at each other in speechless silence. Finally, Xia Ke said, "I fear that not even the grand ancestor thought that Xia Fei would make such a big mess. I don"t quite understand what Pinnacle is, but I do know that Fig is in chaos now that it"s gone; even that Fei Quan, who hasn"t appeared in ages, showed up!"
Xia Guanghai was startled, frowning. "Fei Quan?! That guy who"s able to fight evenly with our clan"s grand ancestor, Fig"s mysterious chairman?!"
