Chapter 64 The Secret Inside the Trading Company Building
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't even glance at Tapu again, turned around and flew straight towards the headquarters of Topbodo Trading Company, leaving only a golden silhouette behind.
Tap's smile froze completely, and his fingers clenched so tightly they cracked.
The attendants looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.
After a long silence, Tapu instructed those around him:
"Notify the Senate to activate the contingency plan and be prepared to abandon Topodo at any time."
"Furthermore, contact the Super God Academy and Lieyang, and tell them that... the angels forcibly entered the main planet of my Tianlong civilization without prior notification, with unclear intentions, and even slandered my civilization's trading company for colluding with demons."
"Also, inform our allies that if one of our lips is gone, the other will be in danger, and ask them to send a representative over."
"Finally, remember to generate buzz on StarNet."
"Yes."
The attendants obeyed and quickly dispersed.
Tap glanced back in the direction where Li Yao had disappeared, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
He has studied the angels' ways of doing things for thousands of years and knows that most of the active angels in the current Heavenly Court of Merlo are just executors of justice and order, with relatively rigid thinking and no scheming or intrigue.
So he had his own way of dealing with these little angels, but this time it was Li Yao who came, and he knew nothing about this young man.
If the other party is a hothead who doesn't play by the rules, things will get tricky.
Meanwhile, Li Yao also received a notification from Tianlong Civilization about their subtle actions backstage.
He smiled faintly, not caring.
It would be abnormal for a civilization to survive several major upheavals and develop to its current state without some tricks up its sleeve.
His attitude towards the Tianlong civilization was the same as Keisha's: either he wouldn't make a move, or when he did, he would strike with a single, decisive blow.
Soon, Li Yao arrived above the headquarters of Tobodo.
The headquarters of Topbodo Trading Company stands in the heart of Tianlongxing's most bustling financial district. Its entire exterior is made of gold glass curtain walls, which, under the sunlight, resemble an enlarged gold bar, making it extremely dazzling.
Besides the Celestial Dragons, there were also people from many other civilizations inside.
Li Yao activated his Eye of Insight in mid-air to examine everyone inside, but the results were not ideal.
Although more than half of the people involved were involved in counterfeiting, only a very small number colluded with demons, and not a single Celestial Dragon was among them.
This is similar to the information he received from the pirate fortress.
Clearly, the Celestial Dragons remain as cautious as ever, even taking into account the investigation of information from the Dark Dimension.
Moreover, under the observation of the Eye of Insight, there was nothing suspicious about the building.
However, Li Yao's intuition told him that there was something wrong.
So he landed directly in front of the main entrance of the bank, ignoring the horrified looks of the guards at the door, and walked straight in.
"Your Excellency, sir! Please wait, we need to report..."
A security supervisor in a black uniform rushed up. He was a super soldier, but before he could finish speaking, Li Yao froze him in place with a single look, rendering him unable to move.
Li Yao continued forward without stopping.
The security supervisor opened his mouth, but didn't dare to say anything.
Just now, a message came from the Tianlong Civilization, instructing them not to engage in direct conflict with the angels, to cooperate as much as possible, but not to hand over core data.
The lobby on the first floor of the business headquarters was magnificent, with crystal chandeliers hanging several meters high and brown floor tiles on the ground.
The people in the hall turned pale the moment they saw an angel walk in.
"Call your manager out here."
Li Yao stood in the center of the hall, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Less than a minute later, a middle-aged man in a brown suit strode out of the private elevator, a professional smile on his face, and extended his hand from afar: "Welcome, Your Excellency, the Angel!"
Li Yao didn't take his hand, and directly ordered, "Give me full access to all your internal information now."
The person in charge maintained his smile and naturally withdrew his hand: "Of course, of course. We will cooperate with the angel's orders. However..."
He looked troubled and said, "Topbox has been established for thousands of years, with business spanning the known universe. The amount of transaction data is extremely large, and some core permissions involve the internal secrets of some civilizations, which require authorization from the shareholders' meeting."
"As you know, Tianlong Civilization holds a 70% stake, so this matter requires their approval. I've already sent someone to follow the procedures. Would you please rest in the VIP lounge first?"
Li Yao looked at him expressionlessly.
This rhetoric is exactly the same as Tap's.
"how long?"
The person in charge held up three fingers and immediately replied, "At the fastest... three days."
Li Yao didn't speak, but slowly raised his right hand and took out the Blazing Sword from the Dark Dimension.
He asked with a smile, "Did you think I was discussing this with you?"
A fine layer of sweat beaded on the manager's forehead, but he still forced a smile: "Sir, we'll handle it immediately..."
Upon hearing this, Li Yao stopped looking at him.
Since there's a problem inside, and the Eye of Insight can't see it, let's try using the compass.
So he took out a miniature Bagua compass, hid it in his palm, and secretly activated it.
A short while later, a faint pulling force appeared, pointing towards an underground area in the northwest corner of the building.
Upon seeing this, Li Yao grabbed his sword and immediately headed in that direction.
"Sir! Where are you going? The office area is upstairs!"
The person in charge chased after them, shouting more and more urgently.
Li Yao pushed open the door to the stairwell and walked downstairs.
With each level descended, the compass's pull became stronger.
He walked through the third, fourth, and fifth basement levels... until the seventh basement level, when he reached the end of the staircase, where a thick, specially made alloy wall stood before him.
"Where is this place?"
Li Yao glanced back at the person in charge who had followed him down.
The other person's face turned deathly pale, and their lips trembled as they were unable to speak.
"I...I don't know, this isn't the business's registered area..."
Li Yao raised his Fiery Sword and slashed it down. The specially made metal wall, half a meter thick, was easily cut through like paper.
He chopped twice more, and the heavy metal block crashed to the ground with a deafening roar.
Behind the wall was a long, narrow corridor, at the end of which was a security door made of encrypted alloy.
There were no signs or words on the door.
Li Yao walked over and cut open the door using the same method.
He looked inside and saw a huge underground space, about the size of two football fields, divided into several areas.
The air was filled with a pungent chemical smell, mixed with the stench of metal and blood.
The area closest to the entrance was piled with dozens of open shipping containers.
The box contained dark iron ore and high-purity energy crystals, the same type of cargo that Li Yao had previously tracked down.
But what truly made his pupils contract were the half-person-high glass jars next to the cargo container.
The jars are filled with various biological tissues, some of which are still connected to nerves and blood vessels, floating gently in the nutrient solution.
The labels included numbers and annotations: "Beast Gene Slice", "Trigonometric Synapse Sample", and "Hypophysis Brain Tissue, Origin Unknown".
Upon seeing this, Li Yao's expression darkened.
