Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1338 - 507: Wu Moyou’s Utopia

Ren Zhong waved dismissively, "I don’t care about your ambushes, and I’m actually looking forward to it, so there’s no need to discuss this further. I already know the location of Storm Base, and the fleet will arrive in seventeen months."

Wu Moyou: "This..."

With a simple calculation, Wu Moyou realized that the Source Star Fleet actually has a cruising capability of 0.21 times the speed of light. This speed is faster than the Storm Assault Fleet. Previously, Ren Zhong was slowly moving at 0.15 times the speed of light, clearly just to lure out the snake.

Ren Zhong ignored Wu Moyou’s shock and continued, "Now I just want to know what else you can offer in exchange for your chance at survival and my mercy towards the Wu Family. Business is about equitable exchange, right?"

"I... I can find a way to get the hiding place of the Tusks Pirate Group! I’m the only one who can do this! Of Storm’s trio, only I am left!"

Wu Moyou, indeed quick to react, immediately grasped his most valuable advantage.

"Oh? The hiding place of the Tusks Pirate Group?" Ren Zhong, who appeared very lazy before, slightly straightened up, his gaze focusing on Wu Moyou.

Wu Moyou keenly noticed this change, and was overjoyed internally, but still kept a timid appearance, trembling as he said, "Yes. The Tusks Pirate Group’s scale is akin to the Storm Pirate Group, accumulating quite a fortune over the years. Eight or nine years ago, who knows what trouble the Tusks Pirate Group got into, but they greatly offended the Earl—oh no, the Nanxiang Marquis—and faced a reckoning, they were slaughtered up and down, leaving only the weak and children who then went into hiding. Many forces in the Shattered Star Ring are looking for their refuge. The Tusks Pirate Group has amassed a vast reserve of metal resources, complementing the Storm Pirate Group, which has a large amount of nuclear fusion materials. If this resource can be taken, Captain Kari can expand the scale more than double in fifty years. So, we are particularly attentive."

Ren Zhong secretly smiled; actually, Wu Moyou had revealed this during hypnosis by Xiao Xingyue earlier, now it’s just about making Wu Moyou recite it again while awake.

"I see." Ren Zhong shook his head, "I already know about this. But, as you said, many forces in the Shattered Star Ring have been searching for close to ten years without any clues. Why do you say you can manage it?"

Wu Moyou gritted his teeth, as if to boost his courage, "I have a plan. In fact, behind every large pirate group in the Shattered Star Ring is the Special Service Bureau of the Nanxiang’s Earldom. Others might not know where the Tusks hide, but the Special Service Bureau surely knows clear as day. I’ll contact the Special Service Bureau Chief, tell him that I’ve completed my task. Then, I’ll make an agreement with him for a twenty-eighty split—me twenty, him eighty. He can sell the Tusks for a good price, and he has no reason not to consent."

Ren Zhong finally believed, slightly leaned forward, clenched his fists, and stared at Wu Moyou, "Sounds feasible, but I need to take risks. How do I know you won’t use the opportunity to communicate with Nanxiang’s spy to expose the failure of Storm? Moreover, a twenty-eighty split is too stupid. I won’t let go of a single cent."

Wu Moyou paused, thought for a moment, and seemed to finally make a decision.

"Earl, if you still don’t feel assured, let your people supervise me, and let me connect with the Wu Family, instruct them to deploy immediately, bring all family assets to migrate to South Nine C, becoming your vassals. This will take about four months to complete. After this, I’ll contact the Special Service Bureau. By then, my life and my family’s are in your hands. You said it yourself, business is business. I’m essentially just a mundane businessman; no matter how greedy, I wouldn’t dare to gamble my own and my entire family’s lives, would I? As for the so-called twenty-eighty split, that’s just my ploy against the Special Bureau Chief. Once you take everything, and return with the fleet safely to South Nine C, he can only accept it while holding his nose. After all, you are an Earl, and you and Nanxiang Marquis are already adversaries—no worry for any debt, right?"

This Wu Moyou indeed has many clever ideas.

Ren Zhong finally nodded, instructing Ou Youning to take this person away, and the subsequent matters would be handled by Ou Youning.

Among the core subordinates, Ou Youning has dealt with these petty affairs the most and has the most experience. He was the natural choice to handle it.
