145: Attack the Li family
With a wave of her hand, a silver portal constructed from Space Law appeared before Su Jue.
On the other side of the door, a miniature of a bustling metropolis was faintly visible.
Countless uniquely shaped aircraft shuttled between the towering skyscrapers, and brilliant neon lights painted the entire sky in vibrant colors.
“The other side of the door is Lihuo Star No. 3, one of the seven main stars of the Lanxia Universe Federation.”
“It is also the location of your target for this trip—the Li Family.”
Elizabeth's voice regained its coldness.
“Your trial mission is very simple.”
“Within one month, make the name ‘Li Family’ disappear completely from this planet.”
“You can use any means—assassination, direct assault, trade wars, public opinion warfare... I don't care about the process, I only want the result.”
“Complete it, and you can proceed to the final seventh trial.”
“Fail...”
Elizabeth paused and said coldly, “Or be killed. That would only prove you are trash and unworthy of being my son.”
Hearing this, Su Jue grinned.
“Don't worry, Mom.”
“One month?”
“That's too long.”
Raging flames of revenge burned in his eyes.
The Li Family!
One of the enemies who wiped out the Su Family back then!
“I'm off.”
Su Jue turned around and waved his small hand at Ao Yuan and Tai Yue.
“Dad, Uncle Tai Yue, wait for me to come back.”
“Go, go!” Ao Yuan had a face full of reluctance. “If you get bullied out there, remember to call your dad immediately! Dad will settle the score for you!”
“Good nephew! Go for it boldly! If anyone dares to stop you, your uncle will crush them along with their planet!” Tai Yue promised, patting his chest.
Su Jue smiled, then picked up the Capybara from the ground, which had finished rebooting but was still shivering, and then hauled up the unconscious Niu Tuo and Mao Xiaomeng.
“Right.”
As if remembering something, he looked back at Elizabeth.
“Mom, that little girl named Ling is still sleeping in my hat.”
“She...”
“She goes with you,” Elizabeth said indifferently.
“If you wake her up, you're responsible for coaxing her.”
Su Jue: “...”
He bid farewell to his family.
Su Jue took a deep breath, never looking back, and stepped his short legs resolutely into the portal leading to the path of revenge!
A flash of light.
His figure, along with his three “attachments,” disappeared from the spot.
The portal slowly closed.
In the starry sky, only three Saint Kings remained, quietly watching the direction he had departed.
“Sigh...” Ao Yuan let out a long sigh. “Our son has grown up; we can't keep him here anymore.”
Elizabeth didn't speak, but her golden dragon pupils remained fixed on where the portal had vanished for a long time... Lihuo Star No. 3.
One of the Federation's most prosperous commercial and technological centers.
In the center of Star River City, inside a bar suspended in mid-air.
This was a paradise for information brokers and mercenaries.
Suddenly.
The space in the center of the bar distorted without warning.
A silver portal appeared out of thin air!
The bar instantly fell silent, and everyone looked warily at that door.
The next second.
A human Infant, looking only one or two years old and wearing animal onesie pajamas, walked out of the door.
Behind him followed a Capybara, a Minotaur, and a Cat Girl.
The entire bar was dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at these uninvited guests as if they were fools.
A Werewolf dressed as a mercenary couldn't help but sneer.
“Where did these hicks come from? And they brought a suckling babe?”
“Are you lost, kid?”
After he finished, the people around him burst into laughter.
Su Jue ignored them. He simply looked around, sensing the noisy atmosphere of human civilization in the air, and softly uttered two words.
“So noisy.”
His “So noisy” caused the laughter in the bar to come to an abrupt halt.
Everyone's gaze then focused on this harmless-looking Infant.
The Werewolf mercenary who had led the mockery had the smile freeze on his face.
This tone? It was contempt?!
A suckling babe was showing contempt for him, a third-level Domain Transformation Realm expert who lived on the edge of a blade?
“Kid, what did you say?”
The Werewolf mercenary's face darkened, and he walked toward Su Jue step by step, emitting a dense killing intent.
The surrounding patrons all showed expressions of watching a good show.
They seemed to have already foreseen that this Infant, who didn't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth, would be torn to pieces in the next second.
However, Su Jue didn't even bother to look at him.
He walked straight to the bar counter. Because he wasn't tall enough, he even struggled to stand on his tiptoes.
“Thud.”
He placed the shivering Capybara from his arms onto the bar counter.
“Manager.”
Su Jue spoke in a childish voice.
“Give me a glass of... the most expensive wine.”
Behind the bar, a bartender wearing an elegant vest and a handlebar mustache was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Su Jue, then at the unconscious Minotaur and Cat Girl at Su Jue's feet, and finally, his gaze landed on the Capybara lying on the bar counter with vacant eyes, looking as if its soul had departed.
What... what kind of bizarre combination is this?!
“Little friend, this isn't a place you should be.”
The bartender gave a reminder out of kindness.
“We don't sell milk here.”
A wave of suppressed laughter rang out again.
“I said.”
Su Jue's tone remained flat.
“I want the most expensive wine.”
As he spoke, he reached out his small hand and rummaged in his pocket.
Then, under everyone's astonished gazes.
He pulled out a crystal... the size of a fist, burning with purple lightning and emitting terrifying energy fluctuations!
With a “thud,” he threw it onto the bar counter.
“Is this enough?”
The moment that crystal appeared!
The entire bar fell silent!
Everyone's breathing stopped at this moment!
The Werewolf mercenary who was walking toward Su Jue also came to a dead stop. His eyes were fixed on the crystal on the bar counter, filled with greed and shock!
“This... this is...”
“An eighth-grade source crystal! Purple Lightning Solar Core Crystal!!”
In the crowd, an experienced old mercenary couldn't help but scream out!
An eighth-grade source crystal!
That was strategic material sufficient to serve as the core energy source for an interstellar frigate!
Any small piece was worth tens of millions of federation coin!
And the Infant before them had actually casually thrown out a top-grade piece with frighteningly high quality!
Crazy!
The world had gone crazy!
The handlebar-mustached bartender looked at the Purple Lightning Solar Core Crystal before him and felt like his heart was about to leap out.
He had worked in this bar for decades and seen countless high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as many wealthy guests who spent money like water.
But... he had never seen anyone use an eighth-grade source crystal to pay for a drink!
This was no longer just extravagance!
This was sheer insanity!
“Enough... it's enough...”
The bartender could no longer speak clearly.
Forget a glass of wine; this crystal was more than enough to buy his entire bar!
