Chapter 674: Chapter 352: Undercurrent: Why am I surging again?"What about you?" Li Ming countered.
Lauren and her two companions exchanged glances before she spoke up, "Actually, we’re employed by a re
Lauren and the other companion stared speechless.
"Haha... Who would’ve thought? Only gone for a month, and the outside world has already erupted with news this big..." The inspector, noticing their exaggerated reactions, couldn’t help but tease them.
"This Li Ming, apparently came from some minor civilization and was even a student of a Resident-Level Mechanical Master. Now, countless people are looking for him..."
The three of them swallowed hard and exchanged apprehensive glances, trembling slightly, resolute in their decision to bury the name "Li Ming" deep within their hearts.

In the Central World under Star Abyss Empire’s control, within the most grandiose building, the core conference room’s doors remained tightly shut. Both sides of a long metal table were filled with solemn high-ranking officials.
Jaint, who had previously been trampled under Dominion Holy Elephant’s foot, sat to the right of the head seat. To the left sat a middle-aged man with a stoic expression.
"According to Dominion Holy Elephant, he doesn’t know where the Hammer Divine Craftsman disappeared to either. He himself was trapped during the search for the Hammer Divine Craftsman," someone began. "As for where exactly he was trapped, he refuses to disclose."
"That chunk of iron..." Jaint’s face darkened, recalling how he was crushed under its foot for over ten days, with countless witnesses to his humiliation.
Various grotesque memes of his suffering had already spread across the interstellar network.
Jaint spoke gravely, "The Hammer Divine Craftsman entered the Dimension World after collaborating with us. Where he vanished and why are of utmost importance. We must uncover the truth!"
The middle-aged man, Diaz, responded indifferently, "Jaint, the Hammer Divine Craftsman worked with your royal family. We don’t have the full details; how do you propose we investigate?"
Jaint’s expression turned cold as he replied, "Diaz, the information we should share has already been disclosed to you."
"Far from sufficient..." Diaz shook his head. "The Hammer Divine Craftsman couldn’t have simply disappeared. What about his movement trajectory?"
"You’re far too greedy..." Jaint stared coldly at Diaz.
"That’s enough." The person seated at the head finally spoke. His voice carried immense authority, an elderly man with snow-white hair clad in elaborate purple attire, his face resembling weathered stone.
As he spoke, everyone in the room sat upright, including Diaz, who restrained his demeanor and commented lightly, "Prince Costat, you shouldn’t hold back any information."
Prince Costat glanced at him and said solemnly, "The pressing matter now is to deal with Dominion Holy Elephant and prevent it from divulging anything detrimental to the Empire."
"Prince Abel has already arrived—he is the pinnacle product of the Empire’s bioengineering, with Level Fifty-Two Development Potential. As for Mechanical Talent, he’s naturally intelligent; learning other disciplines shouldn’t take him much time," Jaint pondered aloud.
"The only remaining question is whether selecting an inheritor was a directive from the Hammer Divine Craftsman or a decision Dominion Holy Elephant made independently."
