Chapter 269 The Ultimate Beneficiary!!
If nothing else, Lu Ming’s name would soon spread to every corner of the Endless Star Universe.
Hearing this, Lu Ming spat out his mouth and said with some disgust.
“I don’t want that kind of reputation, you know, I’m a peace-loving person.”
Katie: “…”
Peace-loving?
Hehe!
If it weren’t for the fact that this girl wasn’t stupid, she would have really believed it.
After finishing the communication with Katie, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.
Looking up at the ceiling of the roof, Lu Ming fell into thought.
Sure enough, he guessed correctly.
The reason why the Combined Fleet’s actions became so strange was that there was really an accident in the rear.
And this accident was no less than an earthquake for many people in the Combined Fleet.
Gerry dies and the power of Eden changes.
Such a big thing, the combined fleet could not stay within the Empire for too long.
At this point, he had the same view as Katie.
I just don’t know exactly when the combined fleet will start retreating on that day.
Come to think of it, it shouldn’t be too far away.
Thinking about this, Lu Ming began to think about Gerry’s death.
According to the clues given by Katie, Gerry died on the Lord Star, on his own vehicle, the Colossus.
The Colossus rammed into the harbor, and the combined fleet led by Gerry suffered heavy losses.
Then the news of Gerry’s death spread, and the main gate of the Lord Star pointed out from this place of right and wrong.
Although Katie said that the most direct evidence pointed to the Zhou family, Lu Ming couldn’t understand why the Zhou family did this.
With his understanding of the Zhou family, this is not like the Zhou family’s style of doing things.
However, the last person Gerry saw before his death was Zhou Yang, the person who led the Moon Lake Fleet into the Imperial Galaxy.
“Zhou Yang…”
Lu Ming murmured.
Suddenly, a flash of electricity flashed in his mind, and Lu Ming stood up directly from his chair with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
“Wait! Wait a minute! ”
“Take matters into account!”
Lu Ming picked up the pen on the table, pulled over a piece of paper, and wrote and drew on it.
“Zhou Yang saw Gerry and then killed Gerry, and Gerry’s car crashed into the combined fleet of the Lord Star, and the fleet suffered heavy losses, and now the Zhou family is exposed.”
“Who profits the most from this?”
Looking at all the processes he listed on the paper, Lu Ming wrote down two big words – Empire!
There is no doubt that judging from the chain of events of Gerry’s death, it was the empire itself that ultimately benefited.
Gerry died, and his combined fleet was badly lost.
Moreover, after Gerry’s death, the rest of the Star Lords left the Lord Star one after another, for fear of getting involved with this matter.
In this case, the invasion pressure faced by the Lord Star was almost gone.
Secondly, the result that Zhou Yang was the murderer could be said to have shifted most of the eyes of the Endless Star from the Empire to the Zhou Family and the Garden of Eden.
And if nothing else, once the power struggle within the Garden of Eden subsides.
Whether for the sake of name or face, the Garden of Eden will carry out so-called revenge against the Zhou family in the name of avenging Gerry.
The Zhou family is also the sworn enemy of the empire, which can be said to be a trick to kill the empire with a knife to eliminate the Zhou family, an enemy who loves to play tricks.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming found that the ultimate benefit was the empire.
Lu remembered that someone had said that in a seemingly complex and clueless conspiracy, the ultimate beneficiary was often the creator of the conspiracy.
If this view is really followed, is Gerry really the hand of the Empire?
Lu Ming was a little incredulous.
After some analysis, he found that Gerry’s death seemed to be the only explanation that could be said in the past.
But how could Gerry, as the ruler of the Garden of Eden, be easily killed?
If it was really that easy, then he was still in the face of the Combined Fleet, wouldn’t it be better to send assassins directly to take out those leaders?
Thinking of this, Lu Ming was stunned.
Speaking of the term assassin, there really seems to be a real assassin on the Lord Star.
Imperial Assassin ——— Silla!
Lu remembered that his expedition to the M9 wormhole was over, and in order to find Zhou Yang hidden in the Lord Star, he sent Sila out as well.
To date, he has not received a report from the Assassins’ Court.
This also means that Sila has not yet completed the task and is still leading the star.
Only later, with the outbreak of the sanctions action, Lu Ming was very busy.
For a moment I forgot about this stubble.
“Couldn’t this really have been done by Silas?”
Lu Ming’s expression was very strange.
If it is really Silas’s masterpiece, then it is really a gift to yourself.
Even treating Sila as the number one contributor to the Empire’s confrontation against the combined fleet did not override Lu Ming’s work and paced back and forth in the room.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.
Gerry died, and the ultimate benefit was the empire itself.
This is one of them.
Second, Sila happened to be on the Lord Star and happened to be searching for Zhou Yang.
The last person Gerry received before he died was Zhou Yang, whom Sila had been looking for.
Finally, the Imperial Assassins were proficient in many incredible abilities.
As one of the first members of the Imperial Assassins, Sila was naturally one of the best of them in terms of the Imperial Assassins themselves, and Silas’s horns had the ability to assassinate Drogley.
It’s just that Lu Ming still can’t understand some places.
For example, Silas’s mission is to search for Zhou Yang, not to assassinate Ge.
Imperial assassins cultivated by the Assassin’s Court will not have the habit of changing the assassination target of their own.
So why did Sila set her sights on Gerry?
Or did he guess wrongly, that Gerry’s death had nothing to do with Silas?
Was it Hannah who did it?
Shaking his head, Lu Ming felt that the biggest possibility was Silas.
Hannah’s Kriger Death Corps was strong, but it wasn’t enough to face Gerry’s fleet.
And crucially, Hannah doesn’t look like that character.
After thinking about it for half a day, Lu Ming still felt that Silas’s question was the most powerful.
However, whether it was Sila or not, Lu Ming felt relaxed and happy.
Gerry’s death, the Empire does not stick to the pot, at least on the surface has nothing to do with him.
Behind this matter, the biggest profit is him.
In the face of this kind of thing, Lu Ming had no reason not to be happy.
“Oh, since you are not willing to retreat, then I will add another fire to your door.”
Thinking about the construction progress of the Star Port, Lu Ming raised a sneaky smile at the corner of his mouth.
It is not realistic to confront the combined fleet head-on, but it is possible to delay time.
When the time came, the combined fleet did not need him to do anything, and he would leave
