Chapter 3732 Bait
"It's alright, there's no need for such formalities between us. Besides, my cultivation has already come to an end." Fang Heng pulled out a chair and sat down. "How's things going on your end?"
"Yes, the goods were seized by the Covenant. The good news is that our people destroyed the scene as soon as they realized they were being watched by the inspection team. In addition, they released a lot of smoke bombs afterward. So far, the Covenant has not confirmed that we are related to the Black Mist Game."
"As for the bad news, there are two. First, the detained supplies are extremely rare and will affect the completion time of the magic circle. I have arranged for people to collect and prepare the supplies as soon as possible, but recently all related supplies on the market have been strictly controlled and the price has increased dozens of times. I'm afraid it will be impossible to prepare them in a short time."
"Secondly, I have learned that the people who have been detained are very likely to be sent to the God Clan for investigation in the near future."
"The gods possess the power to read minds. They might not be able to withstand the scrutiny, and it's highly likely that the gods will follow the clues to find the way into the game."
Charlene rubbed her temples, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. "I tried to use connections to redeem the detained people and goods, offering twenty times the normal price, but they refused. I was worried they would find out something, so I didn't continue to offer more."
Fang Heng nodded slightly and asked, "Do you have an action plan?"
"Yes, the formal channels are blocked. The clans have blocked all the procedures. As for the informal channels, even if someone in the Star Alliance is willing to take the money, they don't dare to take the job. If we drag this out any longer, the entrance to the Black Mist Game might be exposed, which could be risky. We have no choice but to take the risk."
Charlene lowered her voice and continued, "I've found out that our sealed goods are currently stored in the second ring of Elephant City. I've identified several Star Alliance guards responsible for guarding the warehouse. Their shifts are fixed these days, and their mental protection level is very low."
“I will use telepathic techniques to temporarily control them and have them lead me into the warehouse. All the formalities have been completed in advance. Once I obtain the confiscated supplies, Fana will immediately evacuate with them.”
Fang Heng asked, "Where are the people who were detained?"
"The people and supplies are being held separately by the clan. Taking the goods away first is more important. Once we have the goods, the magic array surrounding the Pure Black Orb can continue to be built. As for the people, we can think of other solutions later."
Fang Heng listened and thought the plan was fairly clean.
Avoid direct conflict.
It doesn't leave too many traces.
The operation was also extremely swift.
Blackburg has always operated covertly, and this approach suits Charlene's habits well.
Fana added from the side, "The cargo storage area is ostensibly a temporary storage point for ordinary pollutants. The Star Alliance uses it to store various goods awaiting inspection. After it was taken over by the Families, the security level was raised by two levels."
"The outer layer is the Star Alliance patrol team, the inner layer is the guard team sent by the Familia, and a set of perception-type alchemical magic array has been temporarily added to the innermost layer to prevent outsiders from intruding. We will not risk triggering the alchemical magic array if we enter through normal means."
Shalin and the other woman looked at Fang Heng. "My plan is for me to go into the warehouse and retrieve the goods, while you provide backup outside to prevent any accidents. What do you think of the plan? If it's feasible, we can take action tonight."
"Sounds pretty good."
Fang Heng stood up and said, "We still have some time. Wait for me a moment. I'm going to the restroom to ask a friend. I think he knows a lot about the Star Alliance and might be able to give us some advice."
The two women, Shalin and Shalin, were taken aback and exchanged a glance.
friend?
And he knows a lot about Star Alliance?
Isn't this Fang Heng's first time visiting the Star Alliance?
……
Less than half an hour later, a young man arrived at the coffee shop.
His gaze swept quickly across the crowd, soon settling on Fang Heng and his two companions at the entrance of the coffee shop.
"Gudong..."
Umo swallowed nervously, feeling a little tense.
Fang Heng!
It's really him!
A human who once slew a race of gods!
He actually swaggered into Elephant City!
In Wu Mo's eyes, Fang Heng was already a legendary figure.
Before he came, the elders of the evil clan repeatedly instructed him to obey Fang Heng's orders and that the clan would spare no effort to provide any resources needed.
Wu Mo took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions, walked up to Fang Heng, and bowed slightly to him.
"Lord Fang Heng? I am Wu Mo."
A few customers in the coffee shop glanced over, then quickly looked away.
Fang Heng gestured for him to sit down.
Umo did not sit down, but continued to maintain a half-bowed posture, and said in a low voice: "The evil clan's power in the Star Alliance is deeply rooted but is under close surveillance. The two elders of the clan stay at their residence year-round. If they leave their residence, it will alert the major powers. We are worried that it will affect your actions, so we sent me to assist you, sir."
"Furthermore, Lord Wu Yi had already sent me a message before I came, and the elders of the clan had also repeatedly instructed me that my mission was to assist Lord Fang Heng in his actions. Everything must be done in accordance with the Lord's orders, and the Evil Clan will fully cooperate with any requests from the Lord."
When Fana saw Umer and heard his words, her heart skipped a beat.
They're actually a clan of evil!
It is important to know that the evil race holds a very significant position within the Star Alliance.
Moreover, she had met this young man once before.
He is one of the most prominent figures among the younger generation of the evil clan.
Fana's mind suddenly felt a bit confused.
So Fang Heng has connections with the evil clan? And they have a very good relationship?
What has Fang Heng been doing since we last met more than a year ago?
Fang Heng said, "You're too kind. No need for formalities. Please sit down and let's talk."
Umo then sat down next to Fang Heng.
"Lord Fang Heng, does the letter say you want to check the batch of goods at the temporary storage point for pollutants in the Second Ring Road?"
"good."
Umer said, "This batch of goods is nominally seized by the Star Alliance, but it has actually been taken over by the Families. The Families' inspectors have given the reason that it is suspected to be contaminated by the Black Mist, and they refuse to redeem, destroy, exchange, or transfer it."
"In fact, the amount of goods detained during this period is far more than just this batch."
"Throughout the entire star field, all high-level sealing materials and space transport materials that have recently been circulating with unclear origins have been intercepted by the clans under the pretext of temporary inspection. Any suspicious materials will be detained and then transported to the storage point."
Fana was startled and couldn't help but say, "They've seized them all? Have they all gone mad? How many similar goods circulate throughout the entire star system every day? Doing this will offend a lot of people."
Umer said, "This move was authorized by the God race. The Star Alliance's higher-ups had some complaints, but they were all suppressed. In addition, as far as I know, none of the Star Alliance's seized goods have been dealt with; they have simply been sealed up."
Fang Heng keenly sensed something was amiss and exchanged a glance with Shalin beside him.
"Are they setting up bait?" (End of Chapter)
