Chapter 1621: Take away and ask!
The female officer looked at the head of the Max family in front of her and said directly, "Because our investigation shows that you are suspected of being involved in the previous attack on our Dragon Star Empire's interstellar cruise ship."
We need you to come back with us to cooperate with the investigation.
The voice wasn't quiet, and since almost no one else was speaking, Officer Xiaolong's words were heard by almost everyone present.
At this moment, everyone looked at the head of the MyCOS family with surprise.
I don't understand how this little family, which was previously unknown before the upcoming marriage alliance with the Second Prince, could have quietly accomplished such a big thing.
"How is this possible!"
Our MyCOS family has never attacked the starships of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
"You've made a complete mistake!" The patriarch of the MyCOS family's expression changed drastically, and he immediately explained.
The female officer, Xiaolong, said seriously, "What I just said was that you are somewhat related to this incident, but whether you were involved or not, we are not sure yet."
So for now, we just need you to come back with us to cooperate with the investigation.
Upon hearing this, the expression on the face of the Michaels family patriarch softened slightly.
The people around them started talking quietly.
"It turns out there was only some connection. I thought the MyCOS family was behind this."
"To be honest, this is utter nonsense. The Max family is just a marquis family. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that a woman from the Max family married the Second Prince this time..."
Who would care about a marquisate family that has no real power?
How could such a family possibly attack the starship of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's envoy?
"Didn't you notice there's still a little bit left?"
This is the territory of our Majas interstellar empire.
"The people from the Dragon Star Empire are arresting people directly on our territory. Isn't that incredibly disrespectful?"
After the initial shock, everyone present gradually recovered.
The head of the Max family gradually calmed down, perhaps because the other party's attitude in the negotiations gave him some confidence.
"If you have any questions, you can ask them here."
"I am, after all, the patriarch of the Max family and a marquis of the Mahas Interstellar Empire. It's rather inappropriate for you to take me back with just a word," the Max family patriarch said solemnly.
The female officer, Xiaolong, raised her hand, and a projected document appeared in front of everyone; it seemed to be a signed contract.
"This is an agreement signed between the Imperial Marshal of our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and your Fourth Prince."
Within a month, our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire can directly investigate most areas of your Maihas Interstellar Empire, except for a very few key areas and individuals.
However, your MyCOS family is not subject to these restrictions.
Therefore, we have the right to ask you to come back with us and cooperate with our investigation.
"Now please come with us. If you refuse, we will take coercive measures!" Officer Xiaolong said calmly.
It was as if they didn't take this so-called Marquis of the Majas Interstellar Empire seriously at all.
Upon seeing this document, and the signature of the fourth prince of the empire on it.
The heart of the Michaels family patriarch sank again. He had heard about this matter before, but he did not expect that the Dragon Star Empire would actually show no respect whatsoever.
"Ahem, you may not know this."
My daughter is about to marry the second prince of our Mahas interstellar empire, who will also be the future crown prince.
So, could you give me some...
Before the other person could finish speaking.
The female officer, Xiaolong, calmly stated, "All I know is that you are not within the restricted area."
We've already wasted enough time.
Please cooperate with our investigation.
One more thing.
During the period you cooperate with our investigation, this planet and this galaxy belonging to the Max family will be under our control.
No one and no spacecraft are allowed to leave this planet and this galaxy without our permission.
Anyone who disobeys orders will bear the consequences.
After speaking, Ms. Xiaolong waved her hand, and the Xiaolong female soldiers behind her walked directly behind the head of the Max family, holding laser guns.
"Please cooperate with us."
Seeing this, the head of the Max family knew he had to make this decision.
"Alright, I'll cooperate with your investigation when we get back." To avoid looking too embarrassed, the head of the Max family had no choice but to cooperate obediently.
Judging from the attitude of these female soldiers, if I don't cooperate, who knows what they might do.
But at the same time, he also looked at someone in the crowd and gestured to that person with his eyes.
In fact, the female officer in charge of this small action noticed it, but she did not stop it.
The orders from above were simply to seal off the planet and the castle, and then bring the patriarch of the Max family back.
As for matters outside of orders, those are not things they need to interfere with.
And so, the head of the Max family was taken back to the shuttle by the subordinates of Officer Xiaolong and returned to the Xiaolong starship above.
However, the female officer of the JF-17 Dragon unit, along with several female JF-17 Dragon soldiers, remained here.
She looked around and said coldly, "During this time, everyone please stay where you are and do not move around."
After a brief silence.
A murmur of discussion broke out among the crowd.
"What? We're staying here too?"
"Why should we? We were just invited guests, and we have absolutely nothing to do with that attack!"
"Don't be so arrogant, you people from the Wyvern Interstellar Empire! This is our Mahas Interstellar Empire!"
This coercive behavior naturally leads to resentment among some people, and their words become increasingly extreme.
But it was accompanied by a kind of mechanical sound.
The conversation quieted down.
A JF-17 Starfighter mech's cannon was already extended, its terrifying muzzle locked onto the banquet area where they were located.
They were even only a dozen meters away from them.
It was as if the Grim Reaper's scythe had already touched their necks.
Everyone present was naturally frightened.
At this moment, a woman holding a five or six-year-old child cautiously asked, "You're letting us stay here, but you should at least tell us how long it will take, right?"
"We can't stay here forever, can we?"
The female officer, Xiaolong, looked at the noblewomen around her and said, "Theoretically, as long as we have finished asking the head of the Max family some questions and there is nothing else, everyone here can leave, and this place can be unsealed."
As for how long it will take, I cannot give you an accurate answer.
As for other issues, we will make arrangements later.
Please wait here now.
Seeing the attitude of this female officer, everyone present felt helpless.
Of course, some people were also secretly sending messages and telegrams out of the way.
The female officer in charge of these matters saw them all, but did not stop them.
Before she arrived, it was clearly stated from above that she should not obstruct any of their actions, unless there was a threat of force.
Otherwise, just let them do as they please.
As a result, the events that happened here naturally spread rapidly.
After all, this was the fleet of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, which directly used force to control and intervene in a star system of the Maihas Interstellar Empire, and even took away an Imperial Marquis.
If this gets out, it will definitely become a trending news topic online!
And all of this information was being transmitted right under the noses of the Falcon Dragon interstellar warships overhead.
Because a stealth interstellar reconnaissance ship is silently eavesdropping on all the information.
This is a T6 Silent Ghost-class light interplanetary stealth reconnaissance ship!
This was arranged by Marshal Medusa specifically for this investigation.
As a T6-class interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship, it inherently possesses eavesdropping capabilities.
The communication methods used by those attending the banquet would naturally not have a very high level of security.
It is very convenient to eavesdrop and intercept.
Marshal Medusa envisioned that if the head of the MyCOS family was indeed involved in the attack on the Dragon Star Empire's starship...
This step is to stir up trouble and alert the enemy.
Perhaps the connection to the mastermind or the mastermind behind the scenes is made within the MyCOS family's castle.
In this way, the T6 Silent Ghost-class light interplanetary stealth reconnaissance ship stationed here can follow the clues and find the real mastermind behind it all.
Marshal Medusa believed that such a noble family could not be the real culprit; there must be another true mastermind behind it all.
Therefore, this high-profile operation was partly to obtain the intelligence information they wanted from the head of the MyCOS family.
On the other hand, it's about stirring up trouble and seeing if we can gain anything from it.

Monitoring Department
"Everyone, pay close attention and don't miss any message of any kind sent out by this galaxy."
Especially those sent out from within the castle's range on this planet.
Record all suspicious information!
The captain personally came to this department to supervise her subordinates, and her attitude was very serious.
Because Marshal Medusa personally contacted her to inform her of the importance of this mission.
The fact that the Imperial Marshal personally contacted and issued the order speaks volumes about the importance of this mission.
Therefore, the captain will naturally take it seriously!
We dare not be careless in the slightest!
During the monitoring process, some important information, as well as the telecommunications content of people with special identities, will be specially filtered out.
Take, for example, the second-in-command of the MyCOS family, the younger brother of the current patriarch.
The intelligence information from this place was immediately relayed to the Second Prince.
They were closely monitoring this part of the conversation, after all, he was the second-in-command of the MyCOS family, so naturally there was a possibility of suspicion.
The captain glanced at the message and frowned slightly.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the telecommunications; it's perfectly normal.
The content describes what is happening to the Max family now, and the fact that the Dragon Star Empire took away the Max family patriarch.
The telegram described the behavior and attitude of the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Star Empire in an exaggerated and domineering manner, but there was nothing else suspicious about it.
"Continue listening, and tell me immediately if anything suspicious happens."
At this moment, the captain also received a communication pop-up from Marshal Medusa, who gave a brief instruction to her subordinates.
Then he returned to his command platform and opened Marshal Medusa's communication window.
"Marshal." The captain looked at Marshal Medusa opposite him.
"How is the situation?"
It's clear that Marshal Medusa is very concerned about this'stirring up trouble'.
"There is currently no highly suspicious communication content."
Most of the time, they just report what's happening here.
The highest-ranking among them was the Second Prince.
"But it was just a routine notification," the captain replied.
"I understand. You may continue your work." Marshal Medusa nodded and then exited the communication window.
Marshal Medusa closed the communication window.
"It seems our plan to alert the enemy didn't go very smoothly," the vice-captain said with a shrug.
"What about the interrogation?" Marshal Medusa looked at another window.
That was a monitoring window.
The video footage in the monitoring window showed the patriarch of the Max family, who had already been taken aboard the starship.
She was being led into the interrogation room by the female soldiers of the JF-17 fighter jet.
"Are you going to be in charge of the interrogation?" the vice-captain asked Marshal Medusa.
Marshal Medusa shook her head: "Leave professional matters to the professionals."
Moreover, we have advanced lie detectors, so we just need to follow the normal procedures.
All we need to do is wait here for the answer.
The first mate nodded and then looked at the monitoring window.
Soon, the patriarch of the MyCOS family was taken to a small room in the video.
The small room was furnished like a simple interrogation room.
"Please sit here first." The female soldier seated the head of the MyCOS family in the interrogation chair.
The head of the Max family sat down and looked around the room.
There were walls all around, and opposite was a table with two chairs behind it.
This looks very simple.
But he knew that there was more to this simplicity than met the eye; there must be a lie detector here.
After the female soldier left, two men in military uniforms walked in and sat down opposite the head of the Max family.
"Hello, we are the staff members responsible for inquiring about you this time."
Next, all you need to do is answer our questions.
"Understood? I understand?" the staff member sitting on the right asked casually.
"Understood." The head of the MyCOS family nodded.
Now that he was here, he was fully prepared to cooperate, after all, this was a representative of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Moreover, he knew he was innocent, so there was no need for him to hide it.
"May I have your name?"
"Madison... Madison III."
"Your identity."
"The thirteenth patriarch of the Mycos family, Marquis of the Myhas Interstellar Empire."
