Chapter 127: The Aftermath of the Incident
Chapter 127: The Aftermath of the Incident
Upon recognizing the two sides in the battle, the Fifth Army was immediately enraged and joined the planetary garrison to annihilate the Flame Organization.
As expected, all members of the Blazing Flame Organization who died in the battle were captured alive.
"Aze, what are you doing here?" Mo Li hadn't noticed Mo Ze's presence before; it was only after Mo Ze recognized him as the garrison commander that he came over to greet him.
"I accepted the mission to come and assist the Fifth Army Group."
Upon hearing Mo Ze's words, Mo Li understood the deeper meaning. With A Ze's abilities and his presence, things would indeed be easier to accomplish.
Lan Ze stood to the side, feeling somewhat awkward. His name was also "Ze," and when Mo Li called him "A-Ze" earlier, he almost responded. Fortunately, he reacted in time, preventing an embarrassing situation.
After greeting his uncle, Mo Ze introduced Lan Ze to him and told him what had just happened.
Mo Li then realized what he had just witnessed. He was both shocked and furious at the madness of the Blazing Flame Organization, and amazed by his nephew's strength.
"Good lad, you've really got it! You're worthy of being a member of the Mo family!" Mo Li patted Mo Ze on the shoulder and praised him.
"Uncle, you flatter me. This is not my achievement, it belongs to Shushu." Mo Ze made no attempt to hide his inferiority to Lin Shushu, and he certainly wouldn't take credit for her work.
Upon hearing this, Mo Li and Lan Ze both widened their eyes. Had they heard correctly?
They only believed what they had just heard when Mo Ze nodded seriously again.
The fact that Lin Shushu was stronger than Mo Ze shocked them immensely. Who was Mo Ze? The number one young man in the empire, yet he claimed he was inferior to their fiancée?
Lan Ze thought of Lin Shushu, who didn't talk much while following Mo Ze, and his curiosity grew even stronger.
"Good, good, you have good taste, finding such a good girl." Mo Li did not hold the narrow-minded view that women could not be stronger than men. For the strong, regardless of gender, they all deserve respect.
This woman, who was even stronger than Mo Ze, deserved his respect. Now that she was his nephew's fiancée and would be a member of the Mo family in the future, he was overjoyed.
"Come on, come on, take me to meet her quickly." Mo Li couldn't wait to meet her future niece-in-law.
“Uncle, there are more important matters to attend to now. I will bring her to visit you after this is over,” Mo Ze interrupted his uncle’s enthusiasm.
“Yes, the matter at hand is more important.” Mo Li also thought of the matter at hand.
This is no longer a simple case of space piracy; it involves the Flame Organization, making the situation far more complex than the Fifth Army or the planetary garrison can handle. They need to report the matter to higher authorities and cooperate with the Empire in its investigation.
Mo Ze naturally couldn't be absent. He sent a message to Lin Shushu, telling her to go back to the hotel first, as he still needed to cooperate with the follow-up work.
There was no need to trouble Lin Shushu with the rest of the matters, so she was naturally happy to relax. After receiving the message, she immediately returned to the hotel to rest.
Mo Ze was gone for five whole days, which shows how serious the situation was.
By the time he returned, the matter was already resolved. The Flame Organization's stronghold on Tianxuan Star had been destroyed, and all its members had been captured.
"So, the trail has gone cold again?" Lin Shushu was somewhat impressed by the Blazing Flame Organization; they were really good at hiding.
"Even so, this was not without its gains. At least the people behind it will no longer dare to act rashly, which will make the empire much more stable."
That being said, it also means that finding the person behind it will be even more difficult.
In the past few days, the residents of Tianxuan Star have sensed something unusual, as there have been several more patrols on the streets.
What's most unbelievable is that the Jiaxing Auction House was actually shut down. No one knows the specific reason, but it must have been something serious to warrant such a shutdown.
After the initial sighs, everyone dropped the matter. After all, those who could afford to go to auction houses were not ordinary people, and ordinary people were the majority in the world. Once the reflections were over, everyone put the incident behind them.
The only ones who are happy are probably my colleagues. With one big tree falling, those malnourished saplings will have more nutrients, and maybe one day they will be able to grow lush and leafy!
Although the members of the Blazing Flame Organization on Tianxuan Star were either killed or captured, the core members still managed to escape.
Given Wang Hai and Cheng Hu's levels, their knowledge was actually quite limited. Wang Hai, needless to say, was among the lowest-ranking.
Cheng Hu gained access to more secrets because his cousin was one of the organization's high-ranking members.
However, the moment he was arrested, the inside information he knew would soon become useless, such as Roshen's residence and their contact information with the mysterious figure.
After using some methods to learn from Cheng Hu where Luo Shen lived on Dixing, the investigators immediately went there, but by the time they arrived, Luo Shen's house was already empty.
On a remote planet, Luo Shen hung up the communication with a gloomy expression. The other high-ranking members had strong opinions about the organization's exposure, believing that his mismanagement had led to such a huge loss.
If it weren't for his past achievements, they would have even wanted to dismiss him.
In retrospect, it was due to caution that he was saved; otherwise, he would be in the Empire's prison right now.
That day, his subordinates reported that the mission was completed. He didn't have any doubts, after all, "Flame Blast" had been deployed, so who could escape?
However, Cheng Hu's incident still made him more cautious. Just an hour ago, he was on the phone with Cheng Hu, and then Cheng Hu got into trouble, without any warning or trace.
Thinking about this inexplicable incident, he called his men back, but no one answered within five seconds. He knew something was wrong. So he immediately began the cleanup work and fled to this remote planet.
To this day, he still cannot understand why the Fifth Army was able to remain unscathed from the "Flame Blast" attack.
Many people witnessed the strange phenomenon that day, so there's no possibility that his subordinates lied to him. The only explanation is that a highly skilled person was present. But who was it?
The people on Tianxuan Star not only have a deep understanding of the local people and affairs, but also pay close attention to the outside population.
They would carefully investigate and pay close attention to any suspicious individuals who came, but no one particularly noteworthy arrived on Tianxuan Star during those few days. So, where exactly did the variable lie?
His question went unanswered.
The variable he mentioned, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, were about to visit Mo Li.
Speaking of which, Mo Li was the first elder of the Mo family that Lin Shushu met. Even Mo Ze's parents met remotely via video.
Fortunately, the visit went smoothly. As soon as Mo Li saw Lin Shushu, he kept praising her, which made her learn more about the Mo family.
The family tradition speaks for itself; the Mo family members are all upright, of impeccable character, and very protective of their own people.
