Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Kulundi
Feng He looked at the serial number on the laser gun in his hand, then chuckled. "A TNS-561. The new model laser gun."
"We haven’t even gotten to use these laser guns yet, and here one is, delivered right to you. The backer behind your boss sure is bold." Feng He lightly tapped Brother Jun’s face with the laser gun.
Brother Jun felt the cold touch on his cheek and shivered, begging for mercy. "Spare me! I was just doing what my boss told me."
Hearing his pleas, the team members remained unmoved.
Lu Shaoyu was fast-acting. He led soldiers in, surrounding everyone on the street.
Everyone there was handcuffed and taken back to the Monster Investigation Bureau.
Fortunately, the prison building at the Monster Investigation Bureau was completely empty and still brand new.
It was large enough to hold all of them. Even with six people to a cell, there would still be extra rooms.
Having just been appointed, Lin Jingjing and her team had already taken down this malignant tumor of the Capital Star.
This truly shocked many who knew the inside story, as the company’s boss was backed by the head of the Cabinet’s Weapons Department.
Many had tried to get rid of this tumor before, but they were all suppressed by that very minister.
Now, these newcomers, who had just arrived on the Capital Star and been appointed as Monster Investigation Team Captains by the King, had turned around and eradicated a deeply entrenched enterprise.
For a time, the upper echelons of the Capital Star were all buzzing with discussion.
It took only two days to completely round up the Huanle Group. After tallying the victims, the number was found to be over one million people.
Some had died in cramped, dark little rooms. Some had dropped dead at their posts from overwork in the factories.
Some had been toyed with and left to die in alleyways. Some were caught trying to escape, beaten mercilessly, and died in their beds, unable to afford treatment with Star Coins.
The people here had died in all sorts of ways.
Those who hadn’t died had long since grown numb to this endless life of suffering.
The conditions of their factories, living quarters, and the food they were given were all exposed, one by one. A thirty-minute-long video was posted to the Star Network.
Everyone who watched it was deeply disturbed. Their own people were suffering.
The release of this information left the native residents of the Capital Star in utter shock.
That something like this could happen on such a prosperous planet.
[I don’t believe this kind of blood-sucking, flesh-eating thing could happen on the Capital Star! It has to be fake, it has to be a lie!]
[I don’t believe it either! Over a million people? It must be fake!]
[How can you not believe it? There are witnesses and physical evidence, and you still don’t believe it.]
[What does it matter if you don’t believe it? It already happened.]
Many people refused to believe this fact. As more and more of them posted, Lin Jingjing and her team eventually saw the comments.
That evening, they used their newly registered official account to reply under the video.
[It is all true. It is reality.]
They were speaking under their official title, and furthermore, the ones who had carried out the raid were this very Monster Investigation Bureau.
Meanwhile, Lin Jingjing and her team were incredibly busy, interrogating the criminal suspects alongside the soldiers every day.
They hoped to learn something about that "Young Master."
But after many consecutive days of questioning, they still had no leads.
The five of them were working themselves to death, yet they hadn’t found a single clue.
’Maybe they were just piggybacking on the Huanle Group’s name? To attract more people?’
In the office, the team was scattered about. Some were sprawled out on couches, some were eating, and some were sleeping.
Each was lost in their own world, and no one spoke a word.
Ever since taking this position, Lin Jingjing had been insanely busy. She hadn’t had a proper meal in days.
She just made do with Nutrient Liquid and called it a day.
While they were worrying about the "Young Master," someone else was consumed by rage.
Kulundi sat in his study, listening as his subordinate detailed all the recent events and recounted the losses.
Upon hearing that this would cost him over a hundred billion Star Coins, he swept everything off his desk in a fit of rage.
"They dare to touch my enterprise? Do they have a death wish?" Kulundi snarled, his face vicious.
The subordinate standing to the side remained silent, not daring to speak. It was better to stay quiet at times like this.
Otherwise, he might not leave this office in one piece.
"Who gave them the nerve to destroy the Young Master’s enterprise!"
"Who!"
The subordinate desperately wanted to answer, ’The King.’
’It was the King who gave them supreme authority, who let them investigate that laboratory.’
’The King of the Empire.’
But he didn’t dare say it. If he said it out loud, his life would be forfeit right there.
Kulundi’s face was dark as he muttered to himself. Perhaps because he was so enraged, his spiritual power was becoming unstable.
His eyes slowly turned red, and the hands resting on the desk gradually transformed into the shape of claws.
Sharp claws, a hideous appearance... after his hands took on the form of a mutant beast’s, the transformation began to spread.
Seeing this, the subordinate began to tremble with fear.
’Young Master Ku’s spiritual power is unstable. He’s starting to mutate!’
"ROAR—" With a great shout, Kulundi unleashed his spiritual power, and the entire study was instantly thrown into chaos.
The subordinate was sent flying by the force, slamming directly into the wall. Because Kulundi’s spiritual power was so formidable, the man couldn’t stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was pinned against the wall.
The smell of blood instantly filled the study. At the scent of it, Kulundi’s eyes grew even redder.
In his mutant beast form, he walked over to his subordinate. With a lift of his hand, he used his spiritual power to pull the man before him.
Smelling the blood on him, Kulundi became instantly excited.
He opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs.
When the subordinate saw his fangs, his body trembled in fear.
"Young Master Ku, please, let me go," the subordinate managed to say. Kulundi was choking him, making it incredibly difficult to speak.
His pleas did not soften Kulundi’s heart. Having not drunk blood for a long time, Kulundi bit directly into his neck.
Bit by bit, the subordinate felt the blood leave his body. He grew colder and colder, with no strength left to struggle.
Just as he thought he was about to die, Kulundi released him. Having returned to normal, Kulundi threw the man to the floor and said, "Someone will transfer money to your account tomorrow. Now get out."
The subordinate, having narrowly escaped death, scrambled and crawled out of the room, terrified that if he were a step too slow, Young Master Ku would change his mind.
Kulundi glanced at the messy study, then had a robot clean it up.
He left the study and headed for his bedroom.
’Lin Jingjing, was it?’ He would make that woman learn the meaning of death.
’Dare to mess with the Young Master’s enterprise? There’s only one way that ends: death.’
