When Ye Zhongming returned to the Star-Eye Clan, he had just entered the underground castle when the two clan leaders called for him to come over. Upon entering the room, he saw that nearly all the high-ranking members of the Star-Eye Clan were present.
The two clan leaders, Commander Huang Jin Cheng Liujin, Silver Commander Pao Bai, Chief Technology Officer Jikesu, Training Commander Bashiru, Chief Logistics Officer Yashinan, and the future heir Aslan were all there.
"It’s really great to see that you’re alive," Pao Bai raised an eyebrow. Although it sounded like a joke, everyone could sense the hint of menace in his tone.
Right now, Ye Zhongming was a treasure for the entire Star-Eye Clan. He had been brazenly assassinated in Starshine City. If it weren’t for Jie Su being there, and the six golden masked warriors fiercely protecting him, this treasure might not have returned.
If Ye Zhongming were to die, then the hope of the Star-Eye Clan would also be lost, leading them to despair and eventual extinction.
Therefore, they could not afford to take this matter lightly.
The golden masked warrior who survived didn’t dare to remain silent about such a significant incident. After entering with Ye Zhongming, he sat in the corner, keeping his head down and not speaking.
He had actually received Ye Zhongming’s hint not to mention these matters, but after careful consideration, he still didn’t dare to hide it.
Ye Zhongming didn’t mind much. After sitting down, he sipped water and said, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. Although I don’t yet know who wants to kill me, the incident itself isn’t surprising, right? After all, we killed so many people on the novice battlefield. How could their races swallow this humiliation? Even if the races don’t take action, the relatives and friends of those who were killed have enough reasons to come after me."
"Individuals don’t have the ability or the guts to act in Starshine City," Commander Cheng Liuji shook his head, knowing that Ye Zhongming was downplaying the issue intentionally to avoid worrying everyone.
"Rest assured, the Su Clan has promised to investigate, and they will inform me of the results. The reason for keeping this matter under wraps is a decision we made together. Mainly, we want to prevent those powerful clans from intervening. Who knows what might happen during the investigation? On our home planet, there is a saying: it's easy to invite a god but hard to send them away. That’s the principle behind this."
After contemplating, everyone understood Ye Zhongming's intention. The Star-Eye Clan was undoubtedly the victim here. If an investigation were to occur, it would inevitably be led by the super clans and major clans. But… who knows if those assassins had any connections with them? If luck were to run out and they encountered someone who was both a police officer and a thief, things could get out of hand.
"But it still feels uncomfortable like this, and I’m afraid you won't be able to swallow this anger," Jikesu, who had a good relationship with Ye Zhongming, felt that some things were better said by him.
Ye Zhongming smiled, "I have no issue with it. If I have to blame someone, it can only be myself for not being strong enough. If I could crush a Survivor Fortress with one hand, I doubt anyone would dare provoke me."
The younger members in the room, such as Pao Bai and Aslan, laughed out loud. Pao Bai said, "No need to estimate; it’s guaranteed that they wouldn’t dare provoke you. I’d better keep my distance to avoid being crushed by you."
Everyone in the room laughed this time.
"I think you will have that day," Lord Yan suddenly said, causing everyone to stop laughing and look at him in confusion.
"Didn’t you all notice that this kid has significantly increased in strength in less than twenty days?"
Only then did everyone look Ye Zhongming up and down. Pao Bai directly pulled Ye Zhongming over to a nearby fuleira precision instrument, insisting that Ye Zhongming undergo a test.
