Capítulo 1348: Chapter 478: Faith
A few days later, inside the review office on the third floor of the Federation Council Tower.
Long Bai sat in front of his desk, his head bowed as he approved docunts, his black pen writing neat lines of text on the paper docunts.
Suddenly, the pen jamd and wouldn’t let out ink. Long Bai applied a little pressure.
Plop!
Ink splattered from the pen, blotting the paper.
Looking at this scene, Long Bai furrowed his brow, feeling inexplicably irritable, as though he had a very bad premonition.
At this mont, a rustling sound ca from outside the door.
“Are you going in?”
“No, you go in.”
…
“What are you two doing here?”
“Nothing, could you help us take the docunts in?”
“Why don’t you go in yourselves?”
“Please….”
…
The door was pushed open, and Rodger ca in carrying docunts, walking up to Long Bai and respectfully saying.
“Auditor, these docunts need your review.”
Long Bai took the docunts, glanced at the top one, and his gaze instantly turned icily cold, emanating a spine-chilling aura.
Rodger was also startled, his body involuntarily trembling, displaying a look of panic beneath his mask-clad old face.
“Let those two co in.”
Long Bai spoke coldly.
“Yes!”
Rodger exited with a sigh of relief.
Soon the door was pushed open again, and Ferion and Jone walked in shakily.
As soon as they stepped into the office and saw Long Bai’s cold gaze, they felt as if they were in the midst of a chilling winter, involuntarily shivering.
However, despite this, Ferion and Jone steeled themselves and walked up to Long Bai, bowed their heads and greeted.
“Lord Long Bai.”
“Have you found the body yet?”
Long Bai asked coldly.
“Not yet.”
Ferion replied, gritting his teeth.
“Keep looking, spare no cost in the search. Activate all dark lines; I don’t care if Su Ming is in the Dark Star Empire or the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, you must find him, alive or dead!”
Long Bai gave Ferion and Jone a death order.
“Yes, we’ll get to it right away.”
Ferion and Jone responded anxiously.
It was the first ti they had seen such a strong reaction from Long Bai; historically, no matter what happened, Lord Long Bai was always very calm.
Just as Ferion and Jone were about to leave, Long Bai suddenly spoke coldly.
“Stop!”
“Lord Long Bai, do you have any further instructions?”
Ferion and Jone’s hearts jumped, and they imdiately stopped in their tracks, asking with sweat trickling down their backs.
“Regarding Su Ming’s disappearance, impose a comprehensive lockdown. Also, release false information saying that he has been found and sent for secret recovery.”
Long Bai said coldly.
Although the disappearance of Su Ming surely couldn’t be concealed, the incident couldn’t be allowed to escalate. The longer it’s dragged out, the better Su Ming’s situation will be.
“Understood!”
Ferion and Jone responded nervously.
Long Bai waved his hand, and Ferion and Jone left with relief.
Only Long Bai was left in the office. She sat quietly, her purple eyes revealing a complex look.

——————————————————–
Second New Galaxy·Apocalypse Divine Country rear area·Cateni Planet·Underground base.
In the dim, filthy, heavily polluted air-filled warehouse.
Four First Generation cha·Iron Followers and one Second Generation cha·Light Guard dragged in a massive black tumor-like ball.
“Wow, such a huge tumor; it’s bound to produce a lot of water and oil.”
“We’re gonna make a fortune!”
…
The four Iron Followers released their chains, looking at the black tumor sphere, speaking with excitent.
The leading Light Guard hastily spoke to his subordinates.
“Cut the chatter. Muru, go start the extraction device and drain this tumor ball dry.”
“Brother Gao Ya, isn’t this too dangerous? Although the tumor was ejected from a white hole and should be dead, who knows if it might suddenly wake and go berserk during extraction.”
Muru and others replied fearfully.
Although Chilami can extract water and such, the process is exceedingly dangerous, and there’s been no shortage of incidents where things woke up and went berserk.
“Cowards, wanting to get rich yet scared of everything!”
Captain Gao Ya cursed angrily.
Seeing Captain Gao Ya angry, Muru quickly said after rolling his eyes.
“Don’t be mad, big brother, for such dangerous work, why not find so lowly people to do it.”
“What if word gets out?”
“Easy fix, just kill them afterward.”
“Alright, go find so people quickly, and keep it low-profile!”
Gao Ya agreed imdiately.
“No problem.”
Muru opened the cockpit and climbed out, hurriedly leaving the warehouse.
Before long, Muru brought in five youths wearing ragged clothes, with ashen faces, skinny bodies, rough skin, ranging from ten to twenty years old.
The five youths all wore expressions of fear and unease.
“Big brother, I brought the people!”
Muck said excitedly.
Captain Gao Ya looked at the five youths and said.
“Listen up, you’ve stumbled upon luck. All you have to do is operate those extraction devices, drain the water from that thing, and I’ll give each of you a bottle of water.”
At this mont, the tallest of the five, uneasily asked.
“Sir, where did this thing co from?”
“Don’t worry, we killed it, it’s long dead, completely safe!”
Gao Ya assured them.
“Sir, this thing looks so scary! We’re afraid.”
Jieva and the others, hearing Gao Ya’s words, all shook their heads in panic.
