Chapter 1011: Divine Secrets?

Chapter 1013 Divine Secrets?

Although Edward seemed impulsive, he still knew about the powers behind Mailer Fa. Hearing Luo Lin speak of it, he nodded in agreement. However, he ordered that once Mailer Fa’s guards were to leave Li Yinfei’s side, they would make a move. When that happens, he would definitely humiliate that woman. If she was obedient, he wouldn’t mind marrying her as one of his wives. After all, he had never seen any woman as beautiful as Li Yinfei. Just her beauty was enough to make his heart throb.

After returning to the regular guest rooms, Ling Lan held the 10,000 dollar chip in her hand as she slept under the envious gazes of the other servants.

“Little Four, did you take control of the casino’s mainframe?” Ling Lan, who seemed like she was fast asleep, was actually in her mindspace asking Little Four about the situation.

She didn’t expect that Mailer Fa’s casinos were not connected on the same mainframe. Instead, they had their own virtual worlds. Even if they were to stay in a guest room, they still wouldn’t be able to infiltrate it. They would only have a chance to enter the mainframe if they enter the casino. Ling Lan was lucky that she had Little Four who could silently infiltrate the mainframe. Even imperial level hackers might be discovered by them the moment they hack into the mainframe.

There were even two imperial hackers standing guard for a standard casino atrium. Mailer Fa had indeed lived up to its name, as the powers they wielded were abundant and bottomless.

“I’ve pretty much got it fully controlled, other than a few core locations that I can’t get into.” After seeing that there were so many imperial hackers on guard, Little Four also became more careful with his actions.

Above imperial level hackers were god-class hackers. Legend has it that these god-class hackers were considered gods in the virtual world. After playing around in the virtual world for so long, although Little Four hadn’t encountered these legends, it was still possible for the existence of such hackers to be in Mailer Fa because there were no less than 10 imperial hackers in the main area of the casino.

Little Four didn’t forget what his boss had told him. Thus, if it wasn’t completely necessary, he wouldn’t go and touch those core locations that were clearly heavily guarded.

“Not bad. We still can’t figure out how deep the rabbit hole goes for Mailer Fa. We should be careful first. Don’t touch on the core locations for now. Controlling the other regions are enough for us to use. Little Four, help me surveillance Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu. Check what they’re here to do,” ordered Ling Lan. She didn’t believe that these two people were here on vacation. Although the restrictions of the Flying Dragon Special Forces were not as strict as standard divisions, they still wouldn’t allow their soldiers to take a vacation in a casino so there was no doubt that they were here on a mission.

“Understood, Boss.” Little Four began to investigate Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran.

Soon, Little Four had found out why they were here, “Boss, they’re here to investigate how Magic Ace Mecha Clan was wiped out.”

Ling Lan’s heart skipped a beat, “Something that wasn’t investigated in 15 years, but yet they began to investigate it after those people, who kept the Liu and Wang family under surveillance, died…”

“Boss, could it be the person standing behind those people?” Little Four said excitedly. He loved digging up the truth.

“That’s a possibility. Someone who could control the Flying Dragon Special Forces… This person definitely holds a high-ranking position.” Ling Lan frowned. Captain Liu’s enemies were really not that simple.

“Could it be the Third Marshal?” Little Four asked.

“Other people can be greedy, but the marshals will never be like that.” Every since Ling Lan read the distribution of power regarding the marshals, she eliminated the three marshals as suspects.

“Why?” Little Four didn’t understand.

“Every marshal has the power to command one god-class mecha. As long as the mecha operator had indeed advanced to god-class level… Marshals on the other hand were unable to become top-level mecha operators so they wouldn’t need the mineral to build a god-class mecha. If they were to acquire the mineral veins, other than making money, there wouldn’t be much to benefit from it. If the marshals wanted money, there were many factions, merchant groups and elite families that will be willing to give it to them without asking for anything in return so the marshals didn’t need to take this risk. Plus, if they did it they will have to completely wipe out a legendary titled super mecha clan. No matter how this was looked at, it wouldn’t be beneficial for them,” Ling Lan explained.

“Why can’t marshals become top-level mecha operators?” Little Four didn’t understand this point.

“Marshals exist to control everything, while god-class mecha masters are the ultimate weapons of the country. The two would develop in two different directions. In order to not mix up the two groups, the Federation had a rule known to everyone. The highest level marshals were allowed to reach was the ace level. Once they advance into the imperial level, they must give up their position willingly…” After saying that, Ling Lan had a thought, “There is still one possibility for a marshal to not care about the consequences and try to take the mineral veins. That would be this marshal had suppressed his level to not advance into the imperial level. This suppression of many years might let him already have a chance to peek at the god-class level. In order to not expose this secret and still become a god-class mecha master, he would want to create a god-class mecha for himself in secret…”

“No, although he can restrain himself purposely and fool those of the same level, he still wouldn’t be able to fool those one level above him, and the three marshals all met up with dad before. If one of them had reached the imperial level, even if they were to suppress their level, they still wouldn’t be able to fool dad unless they have special method…” Ling Lan began to rebut her own statements.

“Looks like I have to immediately notify dad and tell him to be careful. I should tell him to find a chance to get close to the three marshals and see if something is actually off. I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.” Ling Lan’s face turned cold. If that was the case, then her father was in danger. In order to make sure their secret doesn’t get out, these people would definitely take out her father, who had the biggest chance of seeing through their disguise. It was no surprise, since her father was the only god-class operator in the Federation who always appeared near the marshals.

After feeling his boss’s worry, Little Four also began to worry for Ling Xiao, who was currently in the Federation’s military office center. He didn’t dare to delay any longer and quickly sent all of Ling Lan’s guesses to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao, who was currently within the military headquarters, had been busy arguing, plotting and scheming against the military’s other factions and higher-ups in order to reap more benefits for his division and Ling Lan. When he received Little Four’s encoded message, his eyes widened in surprise.

“Someone among the three marshals may have advanced into a god-class operator? Is that even possible?” Ling Xiao thought about the times he met up with the three marshals and didn’t feel that there was anything odd.

‘Is Lan’er worrying too much? Or maybe she was right, someone may be helping them block off the divine secrets?’

God-class mecha operators were not like Ling Lan had previously thought. Not only could they operate god-class mechas and have keen senses, they also could peek into the realm of the divine… There was definitely ways of making him unable to sense anything. If he couldn’t sense something odd, then there must be someone helping block off the person’s divine secrets.

“Empyreal Zhuge?” Ling Xiao’s finger lightly tapped on his desk. Only Empyreal Zhuge had this type of capabilities. It seemed that he had to investigate the current generation’s God Machine of the Zhuge family, as only that person had the ability to cause him to not be able to see the truth.
