    Chapter 180: Undercurrent

    A soft smile appeared on Yi Lexiang's face. The patriarch in charge of Freeport was much more mellow and experienced than his son.  "Chief Xia Yantong, right! We are just fleeing Charno soldiers, not noble at all. We are here just to exchange some necessary starship parts. We will leave Toltai as soon as the exchange is completed."

    No one likes an unknown force appearing on the territory they control, especially when the strength of this force can affect the rule of those in power.  Although Xia Yantong came with a kind and seemingly sincere smile, the pervasive perception of the mental power network clearly reflected the doubts and uneasiness hidden under the face of the patriarch in Yi Lexiang's mind, as if  Like a mirror.

    After experiencing a series of betrayals and calculations, Yi Lexiang has already learned how to protect himself through blood.  As for the earlier foolish idea of ??not using mental power to spy on other people's private parts, it also disappeared in the endless starry sky like the 'Light of Victory'.  Of course, this strange perception does not really allow Yi Lexiang to enter the other party's consciousness level and know the other party's actual thoughts as described in science fiction novels.  It's just a keen awareness of emotions, but that's enough.  Just like now, Xia Yantong definitely did not welcome them as he showed on the outside.

    Xia Yantong laughed, seemingly disapproving of the young officer's words.  "You are worrying too much. Our Freeport is the last pure land of a free country. Everything is free here. You don't have to worry."

    Yi Lexiang nodded politely, forgetting that he had heard some words.

    Xia Yantong did not continue to ask about the other party's origins. It was obvious that the other party did not want to disclose this information.  He picked up the recorder on the table, but instead of looking through it, he handed the recorder to an old man who was following behind him.  An excellent leader may not necessarily be an excellent warrior. It is better to leave things to professionals. The old man behind him is obviously a professional.

    This old man looked at it very carefully and very slowly. Chen Yatian and Xin Qiang were a little worried that the other party would take the opportunity to memorize the entire set of mecha skills.  However, Yi Lexiang didn't seem worried about this. He sat on the comfortable leather sofa and chatted with Xia Yantong across from him in a non-nutritious and nonsensical manner.

    The proud young man stood behind Xia Yantong and gave up his seat when his father entered the room.  A family always has only one leader. With a good family education, he obviously understood this truth very well. He stood quietly behind his father, his face no longer arrogant.

    "Clan leader!" The old man slowly placed the recorder in front of Xia Yantong and nodded slightly.  This was one of the most advanced mecha skills he had ever seen.  The government's strict management system for mecha technology has severely restricted the research and development of civilian mecha technology.  Although there are far more types of civilian mecha skills than those controlled by the military, quantity does not equate to quality.

    Xia Yantong could tell from the old man's reluctant eyes that the mecha skills provided by this mysterious visitor were probably much more advanced than he had imagined.  This transaction is not a loss for him. A set of high-level mecha skills will greatly increase the overall strength of his men. Correspondingly, the Xiayan family's voice in the Toltai Autonomous Association will also be greatly strengthened.  As for the starship parts requested by the other party, although they are valuable, they are probably much less valuable than the actual value of the mecha skills.  If the other party hadn't been desperate, I'm afraid this pie wouldn't have fallen on my head.

    "What else do you need?" Xia Yantong asked straightforwardly. He had no need to hide his desire for this set of mecha skills. A full-scale interstellar war could come at any time. At this moment, everything that can increase his strength is  valuable.  What's more, Xia Yantong has been in charge of family affairs for many years. In addition to being a good family patriarch, he is also a very good businessman.  Since the other party can hand over a set of mecha skills easily, it means that they don't care about this; it also shows another problem, that they have absolute confidence that they can keep what they have.

    "So our transaction was successful?" Yi Lexiang extended his right hand in a friendly manner.

    "The deal is done. I will immediately arrange for someone to deliver the things you need to the dock." Xia Yantong stretched out his right hand at the same time.

    A deal in which everyone got what they needed was completed in this small room, but the storm behind the deal was also brewing and fermenting, and exploded a few hours later.

    "Patriarch!?" Xia Yantong arranged for Yi Lexiang and others to be sent out of the autonomous association headquarters. When their figures disappeared at the end of the corridor, an old man behind Xia Yantong stepped forward and asked tentatively.

    Xia Yantong raised his hand to stop the old man's words. He knew what his clan uncle wanted to say next.  Apparently, what these Charno officers might have in their hands made him pry.  With CardoWith the collapse of the defense line, Charno, which was once powerful for a while, does not have much time left. The interstellar army of the Imperial Alliance will crush it to pieces at any time.  Charnow's threat to the Freeport also dissipated.

    "This is an opportunity. Those boys must have other things in their hands. Maybe we can" The old man spoke again, trying to persuade Xia Yantong to take some measures.  Xia Yantong turned around and glanced at several other members of the family. Their faces also had eagerness to move, including his own son.  The transaction just now made this arrogant young man realize his previous ignorance. In addition to being ashamed, he eagerly hoped to take some actions to make up for his mistakes. The uncle's proposal was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

    "Who are they? What are their identities? How many armed forces are there on their starship? Do you know?" Xia Yantong's series of questions left everyone speechless, "The guards of two high-level warriors, advanced mecha skills  , who can have these things? Have you ever thought about it?" Xia Yantong asked sternly. Although he seemed to be lecturing everyone, his eyes were only fixed on his son. He was taking the opportunity to tell his son what to do.  To be a true leader.

    "It's such a pity," the old man who spoke had a look of regret on his face. He understood the subtext of the clan leader. Huge benefits often hide huge risks. Taking action before understanding the opponent's strength is likely to bring harm to the entire family.  A devastating disaster.  Especially at this special moment, those fleeing Charno soldiers may not abide by any interstellar conventions. Once the operation fails, the final result is likely to be that the entire family becomes mummies floating in space.

    "Is this the end of it?" The young man was a little unwilling.

    "You have to learn to use your brain more. Some things don't necessarily need to be solved by force." Xia Yantong pointed to his head, with a fox-like smile on his face, "Our family is not the only one in Tolta, but  We are the strongest, aren¡¯t we?¡±

    "You mean" The old man nodded thoughtfully. Until Xia Yantong led several old men out of the room, the confusion on the young man's face still did not diminish at all.  But it seemed that his father had no intention of explaining it to him. He had to turn around and ask his uncle: "Uncle Jian, what does father mean? I don't understand."

    "Yuanzhi, we really should let you go out and see what the outside world is like. This way you will grow faster. In fact, your father's meaning is very simple. Just because we don't take action doesn't mean that others can withstand this kind of thing."  Temptation, as long as we release the news that those Charno officers have advanced mecha skills, others will take action even if the other families don't take action. Don't forget that Freeport is a paradise for criminals. There may be a shortage of people here.  But there will never be a shortage of deranged, daring criminals and pirates."

    "Then my father's last words"

    "The Xiayan family is a very big family. We have controlled Toltai for several generations. In Toltai, we represent wealth and power. No one can shake this. So no matter who gets those  Whatever is in the hands of Officer Charnow, we can take back. Even if no one does, we will see the true strength of these outsiders. Replacing those parts will take time, my boy."

    "People from the Xia Yan family have sent us the parts we need." Chen Yatian said while looking at the surveillance screen.  On the screen, a light cargo truck was parked on the metal platform of the dock, and Xin Qiang and several soldiers were checking the cargo list.

    "Let the soldiers be on alert."

    "Yes! Butgeneral, the Xia Yan family really dares to come and cause trouble for us?"

    "Trouble will definitely come, but it may not be what you think." Yi Lexiang put on a machine repair suit and looked down at the structural diagram of the starship's jump thruster.  The corrupt situation in Charno might make some people take risks, which he had already anticipated.  He would rather face the criminals and pirates of Freeport than the pressure from the Capital Stars.

    "Haha, then they will definitely regret it." Chen Yatian said nonchalantly, playing with an Ion officer's pistol in his hand.  With only three thousand mechas, they made a surprise attack on Yarnis and captured the commander-in-chief of the Empire's Kador front line, Jia Lie, from among thousands of troops.  Little Toltai is really nothing.

    War is like a flame that tempers impurities. After a series of bloody battles, the surviving soldiers of the mecha regiment are all elites worth one hundred. No one can resist the advance of this steel-armored lion.  pace.  They are the true uncrowned kings on the ground. As battles come, the entire galaxy will crawl at their feet and tremble in fear.  Time will tell everything, Yi Lexiang firmly believes in this.

    At the same time, a piece of news came from the guards of the Xia Yan family, and?In a short period of time, word spread throughout the Freeport: Several fugitive soldiers used advanced mecha technology to exchange for some starship parts from the Xia Yan family.  Countless eyes converged on the airport dock from all directions. In this war-torn era, nothing was more attractive than advanced mecha skills.  Interstellar pirates and thieves groups were ready to move. The secret sentry outside the airport soon discovered that people of unknown origin were gathering at the airport. The sky above Toltai Freeport was filled with a surging undercurrent.
