Ding Meng sneered. "As for why you didn't get involved in this personally?
It's because the Green Arrow Corps has always cherished their reputation, and you are the vice commander of the main corps. This kind of thing is even more impossible to do. You must be familiar with the relationship between Green Arrow, Sky Wolf, and the Dai family, and even their internal operations. You must know a lot of information and inside information. If it were anyone else, even Chu Yifeng or Lan Bing from Extreme Heaven Corporation, they wouldn't be able to set up this trap. There's only one thing that proves this: after the reagent was lost, Green Arrow and Sky Wolf's negotiations were fruitless. Green Arrow's boss must have asked the Dai family for help. How could this mastermind guess so accurately?
This person is most likely one of the higher-ups within Green Arrow. "
Bai Yue stared at him and actually laughed again. "If I'm really as you say, and you've already run here, why don't I just kill you all and leave with the spoils of war?"
Ding Meng laughed. "It's simple. You knew that Miss Dai's trip was fraught with grim possibilities and that she wouldn't be able to come back. But Miss Dai is fine. When you saw that Miss Dai was fine and even came with us, you naturally didn't dare to act rashly. This is because the Dai family is still a deterrent to you. You can't let anyone find out that Miss Dai was harmed by you."
Bai Yue raised his head and took a deep breath. He said sternly, "Alright, you've said so much, and I admit that it makes sense. But where's the evidence?
Can I trouble you to show me the evidence? "
"Evidence?" Ding Meng looked at him with disdain. "It's easy if you want evidence. I'll get it for you immediately."
Ding Meng turned to look at Nightmare. "If I'm not wrong, you must have accepted a mission on the dark net to steal the reagent that Green Arrow was transporting, right?"
Nightmare nodded. "Yes."
Ding Meng said, "How much did the employer offer?"
Nightmare said, "500,000 star coins."
Ding Meng said, "In the Dark Net's Bounty Hunter System, missions with a reward of 50,000 Star Coins are quite tricky. The one you accepted is 500,000 Star Coins. What level is that?"
The King of Nightmares immediately understood what he meant and quickly replied, "More than 500,000 Star Coins are considered to be of a relatively high level. The Dark Net itself has records of important transactions, and there are similar records in the wristwatches of both parties. This cannot be deleted. The reason is that the amount is too large. If both parties have opinions and differences in the future, the Dark Net can also resolve the dispute through the records of the three parties …"
Ding Meng turned around and looked at Bai Yue coldly. "I believe that you can do such a thing, so I hope that as few people know about it as possible. Then, the mission must be issued by you yourself. Do you dare to turn on your wristband and show us the records of the Dark Net Bounty Hunter System?
That is the best evidence. "
Bai Yue's pupils instantly contracted. He never imagined that this fellow, Ding Meng, was actually smart to such an extent. This seemingly flawless setup was actually cracked by a twenty-year-old brat with just a few words.
Bai Yue was definitely not stupid enough to touch his wristband. At this moment, his face became expressionless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of all the things I shouldn't have done, I shouldn't have listened to that bastard Sileman. He said that you're young and strong, and it's best for you to accompany Miss Dai to the negotiation. I didn't expect it to be a nobody like you. In the end, you ruined my big plan."
When he said this, there was no doubt that he admitted that he was the instigator behind the scenes.
Dai Yi's whole body turned cold when he heard this. He pointed at Bai Yue and said in disbelief, "Uncle Bai, the Dai family has always trusted you and treated you well. You … you even betrayed me?"
Ding Meng said, "He has his reasons for doing so."
Bai Yue snorted disdainfully. "If you can guess the reason, I'll really admire you."
Ding Meng let out a long sigh. "I might be able to guess the reason."
Bai Yue said in surprise, "Oh?"
Ding Meng said, "You dared to use Miss Dai as a chess piece and even prepared to push her out as cannon fodder. Perhaps it's because you already have the confidence to not fear the Dai family's revenge. Of course, with your strength as a War Venerable and your status as the deputy commander of the Green Arrow Corps, I'm afraid this confidence is not enough."
Bai Yue's face darkened and he did not speak.
Ding Meng said, "The only explanation is that you've attached yourself to a bigger power. With the support of this power, you won't care about the Dai family and the Green Arrow Corps at all. But the strange thing is, if there really is such a powerful power, why would they care about your status as the War Venerable of the Green Arrow Corps?
You should be a beginner War Venerable, right? "
Bai Yue gritted his teeth and said, "I'll be patient and listen to what you have to say today."
Ding Meng said, "I'm guessing that such a power might not think highly of you. After all, you're already at this age, and your future development might be limited. But you're also trying to curry favor with them, and you're not willing to stay in the Green Arrow Corps for the rest of your life. Maybe they're giving you a chance to prove yourself. This chance is for you to quietly bring out the wealth of the Celestial Wolf Corps. This proves that you're still very useful. Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason why they would let you do such a boring thing."
His tone was full of emotion. He made this judgment based on the conversation he had with Sleman when they were drinking on planet KV303.
…
Sleman: "They've either joined the Federation or gone to the Empire. At that level, who would stay outside as a bounty hunter?
But according to the deputy commander, our Green Arrow's current chief commander and deputy commander are also War Venerables. The Federal Empire has tried to rope them in many times, but they still haven't left. "
Ding Meng: "Why?"
Sleman: "I don't know the reason …"
…
He didn't know, but Ding Meng knew very well that not every Origin Ability Master could act according to their inner feelings like Sleman, silently protecting the weak. Even though his abilities weren't strong, even though his contributions were meager, even though he was a pedantic and incurable retard in the eyes of others, his efforts had fulfilled his belief.
"The mission of us Origin Ability Masters isn't to pursue fame and fortune, but to fight for those who can't fight."
It wasn't difficult for a person to fight for their own beliefs. The difficult part was that no matter what setbacks they encountered, they could still persevere for many years. That was precious.
Although Sleman was very ordinary, Ding Meng felt that he had learned a lot from him that he couldn't learn.
Bai Yue finally revealed a shocked expression. "Good kid, you're really something. You're not bad."
Hearing this, the marshal was furious. "Where are my brothers on this ship?
Where did they go?
What the f * ck did you do to them? "
Bai Yue sneered disdainfully. "Don't worry, you can't reunite with them for the time being. I'll keep you around for use. Marshal Hu, you're also a smart person. If you come over now, I guarantee that you'll live well."
Before the marshal could answer, Bai Yue's figure suddenly became a little blurry, as if giving you an illusion: your vision seemed to be a little blurry. In just an instant, Bai Yue's figure returned to normal.
However, the abnormal part was that there was an extra satchel in Bai Yue's hand — the dazzling gold backpack of the Celestial Wolf Corps. This backpack had originally been slung over Nightmare's shoulder, but now it was on Bai Yue's shoulder.
Dai Yi, Four Eyes, Hairy, and the marshal all looked at Bai Yue and Nightmare in shock. They didn't know what was going on.
Nightmare was even more shocked than them. How did Bai Yue take the backpack?
Not only did he not react, but he also didn't feel anything at all.
Only Ding Meng's heart continued to sink because he was the only one present who had clearly seen that Bai Yue was a light speed Origin ability user. What he had just used was the most basic light speed Origin ability user, the "Divine Movement Technique". Ding Meng had seen this kind of technique from Xing Yi before. In fact, it wasn't very profound, and the principle was similar to "Transient Steps".
But what was frightening was that Bai Yue had actually practiced it to such a degree. When he had flashed over, it had been almost silent. Even the air hadn't fluctuated in the slightest, and then he had teleported back to his original position. Moreover, when he had reached out to take the backpack, Nightmare hadn't reacted at all. His control of power could be said to be quite precise.
Xiao Ai suddenly said, "A peak level martial arts technique. According to my evaluation, he has at least a combat value of over 100,000 points."
Ding Meng didn't move. At this time, the most important thing was to calm down. He couldn't act blindly without thinking.
Looking at the dumbfounded expressions of this group of people, Bai Yue suddenly laughed. "So what if you doubt me?
This backpack is destined not to belong to you. "
Ding Meng also laughed, but it wasn't a proud laugh. Instead, it was a self-deprecating laugh. "I understand now."
Bai Yue asked curiously, "Oh?"
Ding Meng said, "What you said just now was very correct. Why didn't you kill us all and then leave with the loot? Because you wanted to keep us alive on purpose."
Bai Yue laughed. "Let's hear it. I'm interested again."
Ding Meng said, "Since this starship is under your control, you must have done something to it long ago. When Sirius' main force catches up, you will have already run far away, leaving us behind to take the blame for you. From the looks of it, you didn't do anything at all. You didn't attack us, and you didn't treat Miss Dai rudely either. Even if someone discovers that something is wrong with you in the future, they still can't say anything.
What a brilliant move … "When Ding Meng said this, Nightmare and the others noticed that the mercenaries on the second floor had all gone down to the first floor, and the encirclement was shrinking.
Moreover, the doors of the three Swordfish spaceships next to them opened automatically. The chassis opened, the engines started, and the crystal flames appeared. It seemed that Bai Yue's group was ready to escape.
As the large group of mercenaries boarded the starship, Bai Yue also laughed while retreating. "Little Brother Ding, you're really good. It's a pity that our paths are different. Otherwise, I could invite you to a small party of mine. Of course, I know that you won't be able to go because you have to stay behind to take care of Miss Dai and Miss Yan. So, I wish you good luck before we part.
Let's meet again next time. "Ding Meng nodded and sighed." There won't be a next time. This will be the last time. "
Bai Yue laughed. "Smart, very smart. Then I won't say goodbye. Bye bye. Have a nice trip."
Then, the doors of the three Swordfish spaceships closed. Crystal flames spurted out from the tails of the three Swordfish spaceships one after another, and they flew toward the exit of the rescue port.
