Chapter 361: Chapter 194: Intertwining Contradictions_2"This matter will certainly not end simply. I even suspect that the Judge Civilization deliberately sent four B-level life forms to their deaths."

"After their demise, there would be legitimate grounds to deploy troops openly, even to compete with Yitelan’s United Fleet."

Such speculation was wildly imaginative but not impossible, Li Ming contemplated.

"Who cares? The Red River Star Stream is boundless, there will always be a place for us." Sandro remained nonchalant as ever, a testament to an A-level life form’s confidence.

"Recently, there have been quite a few spies in the Land of Stars." Theo suddenly brought up the matter, having stumbled upon an unexpected discovery during the

"Then let’s leave this message unpaid for now, but I hope when you get the specific news, you won’t hide it," Li Ming said, staring at him without making any threatening remarks.

Feder hesitated, then nodded, "I’ll tell you."

Only then did Li Ming leisurely say, "The thing Grey Eyes lost is called the ’Casablanca Flower.’

It wasn’t that he trusted Feder so much; rather, such information was highly time-sensitive. If he didn’t release it now, it would soon become worthless.

Feder’s pupils suddenly contracted as he exclaimed involuntarily, "The Casablanca Flower? Is he preparing to become an S-class life form?"

"That’s my teacher’s deduction," Li Ming confirmed.

"How is that possible? Where did he get it from?" Feder couldn’t help but asked.

"From the Star Abyss Empire."

Feder froze in place, then suddenly realized, "It must be the Star Abyss Empire, it has to be them!"

"Damn!" He cursed.

Li Ming grinned, "The person standing behind Asimara and the person supplying Grey Eyes with the ’Casablanca Flower’ don’t seem to belong to the same faction."

Feder’s face tensed but then relaxed, "Since you’ve guessed it all, it’s all the same old issues. Thanks for the information, I have to go now."

The screen went dark, and Feder rushed out. The metal doors slid open horizontally, and the corridor was filled with many soldiers in military uniforms.

He headed deeper, with many greeting him along the way.

Upon arriving at the vice-commander’s room, the door opened, and the room went silent.

The middle-aged man standing before the huge strategy sand table turned around; his expression was stern, his eyebrows furrowed tight, and he exuded an aura of authority—it was his father, Prince Bai Jiang.

"Commander, I have urgent intelligence," Feder said, bracing himself.

"Come with me," Prince Bai Jiang said with a grave voice, taking Feder into a compartment of the command room.

"Li Ming told me that, indeed, four B-class life forms of the Judge Civilization were killed by Seraad," Feder said hastily,

Prince Bai Jiang frowned even deeper, displeased, "Just three minutes before you came in, I also received this intelligence."

"Is this what you call urgent intelligence? Is that all Li Ming knows?"

Facing his father’s reprimand, Feder’s mind tensed as he said gravely, "What Seraad stole was the Casablanca Flower..."

Before the words had finished, Prince Bai Jiang’s face changed abruptly, a fearsome aura exploding from his being, with Red Arcs surging and his life flame burning as though tangible.

Feder looked on in shock. Prince Bai Jiang’s aura quickly subdued as he said gravely, "Are you sure the information is true?"

"Li Ming said it himself; it comes from his teacher, it’s 90% likely to be true," Feder hastened to say, further adding, "The Casablanca Flower comes from the Star Abyss Empire."

This time, Prince Bai Jiang wasn’t as surprised, "Predictable, whoever can provide such a thing is definitely not an ordinary advanced civilization."

"What about us?" Feder asked tentatively.

"Act as if nothing has happened. You never heard this intelligence."

"Ah?" Feder was perplexed.

Prince Bai Jiang didn’t offer any further explanation, his icy demeanor softening slightly, "You did well. If Li Ming confides such intelligence to you freely, he must trust you a lot. Keep that trust going; his value is significant."

Feder hesitated, a bitter taste in his heart, but seeing the rare softness on his father’s face, could only say, "I understand."
