Chapter 274 Capturing Prince Jiaduo!
"By the way, Chief Prin, do you have any immortal divine power left near the Dream Continent?" Zhou Ze asked Prin.
"Of course, Your Highness." Prin nodded.
As the capital of the Dream Universe Kingdom, the Dream Continent is where any immortal who stays in the Dream Universe Kingdom will leave behind immortal divine power.
"Alright, let's just teleport there through the Divine Kingdom," Zhou Ze suggested.
"Okay," Prin said.
The Dream Universe Kingdom, the Dream Continent.
On an unnamed planet hundreds of thousands of light-years away, a golden pyramid appeared out of thin air. After appearing, the golden pyramid turned into a golden stream of light and disappeared from the unnamed planet, flying towards the starry sky.
Soon, the golden pyramid accelerated to the speed of light and vanished into thin air from the primeval realm.
"Bessa, there's something I want to tell you," Zhou Ze said gently, looking at Bertha.
"What's wrong?" Bertha asked, puzzled.
"It's like this, I have another mission this time, which is to capture and interrogate your Dream Royal Family's prince," Zhou Ze said directly.
"Huh?" Bertha's expression froze, her mind filled with questions.
"Who are we arresting?" Bertha asked.
"Prince Jiaduo," Zhou Ze replied.
"Heh, this guy really knows how to cause trouble." Bertha sneered, "I wonder what he did behind the scenes to get the company to take action against him."
Zhou Ze laughed and said, "It's alright. I thought you were closer to Jia Duo. Now I don't have any reservations."
Bertha felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Zhou Ze say this: "My father has many children, and the education he received from childhood was full of deceit and treachery. How much kinship is there to speak of?"
"This Gado is ridiculous. He's so fixated on the throne that he can't see the bigger picture. He's clearly talented, but he's blinded by the throne. He doesn't realize that in this world, personal power is the only answer. So-called power is just a byproduct of strength. He's completely putting the cart before the horse!"
"Heh, he's always seen me as a thorn in his side and is extremely wary of me. After all, I'm the most outstanding royal descendant of this generation. But he has no idea that the so-called throne is like fleeting clouds to me, a passing cloud."
"Once I become a king-level expert, the so-called emperor and the throne will become even more laughable—"
Zhou Ze stroked Bertha's hair and smiled slightly, "As expected of my Bertha, you truly have foresight and ambition!"
"That's right!" Bertha leaned proudly against Zhou Ze's chest. "By the way, Zhou Ze, what are the company's plans for dealing with Jia Duo?"
Zhou Ze didn't hide anything: "Let me kill him or put him on trial!"
Bertha immediately got up from Zhou Ze's arms, bewildered, and said, "What on earth did this kid do? The company disregarded the royal family's reputation and took action directly, and there was even an option to kill him?"
As a member of the virtual universe company Primordial Realm and a member of the royal family, Bertha is quite knowledgeable about the relationship between the company and the universe kingdom.
The company and the Dream Royal Family jointly manage a universe nation, each having half of the military control. However, the company generally does not interfere in the internal affairs of the universe nation. If something happens to personnel within the empire, it is usually handled internally by the emperor.
Instead of the company directly intervening as it is now.
The company must have its own reasons for doing this; as far as the company is concerned, it doesn't care about things like the "Cosmic Kingdom".
The longer you stay at the Virtual Universe Company, the more you understand how terrifying it is. In fact, the royal ancestor of the Illusionary Dream Universe Kingdom himself belonged to the Virtual Universe Company.
The establishment of the Dream Universe Kingdom was merely a matter of the company sending the Dream Ancestor to manage and oversee its development.
Of course, given the patriarch's strength, status, and position, he could personally take charge and directly manage the virtual universe branch in the Dream Universe Kingdom if he so desired.
After all, the ancestor was first and foremost a high-ranking executive of the Virtual Universe Company, and only secondly the ruler of the Dream Universe Kingdom.
"I'm not entirely sure either. Judging from the company's emails, he got involved in the slave trade, became a backer for the slave traders, and profited from it—" Zhou Ze explained.
Bertha immediately shook her head: "Impossible. Slave traders generally know that their behavior is despised, so they are very well-behaved. Their slaves are all born from the life planets they control, so even if others hate them, they have nothing to say."
"After all, the lord of a planet has the power of life and death over the inhabitants of his planet."
Zhou Ze thought for a moment and said, "The mission said that Najamin acquired many high-quality life-bearing planets through forced purchases, since it is easier to cultivate strong individuals this way."
"That might be the reason—"
Bertha shook her head again: "That can't be the reason. Even if it's a forced sale, it would at most violate imperial law and be an internal matter of the empire. It's impossible for the company to get involved."
"What could be the reason?" Zhou Ze asked, somewhat curious.
"I don't know. I've been focused on my cultivation at headquarters and have never bothered with these messy things from the Universe Nation." Bertha shook her head.
"What does it matter to him—" Zhou Ze stretched: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. These are all company orders, and I'm just an executor."
In a palace somewhere within the royal palace of the Dreamland.
A young man dressed as a prince looked at the secret box in front of him. If the box was opened forcibly without a password, it would explode and destroy the secret message inside.
After entering a complex password, the safe was opened. The person took out the coded message, glanced at it, and was shocked:
"This Heavenly Saint King is far too audacious, actually thinking of enslaving Zhou Ze!"
"This is a member of the Virtual Universe Corporation's original secret realm!"
"If this were discovered, it would cause a huge shock throughout the entire human race's upper echelons—"
A glint of light flashed in Jiaduo's eyes: "We can't associate with this Heavenly Saint King anymore; this guy is too dangerous."
"Zhou Ze absolutely cannot be touched. If he is, he will be discovered sooner or later. At that time, the Heavenly Saint King, a powerful King-level expert, can go anywhere. I am just an ordinary Immortal; I don't have his abilities!"
Although Gado was obsessed with the throne and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, it didn't mean he was stupid. He knew what he could and couldn't do.
"Luckily, I was cautious in the past. Even if I leaked information about a few peerless geniuses to the Holy King of Heaven, it left no trace on me. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to escape—"
"However, we can't just offend the Heavenly Saint King like this," Jia Duo said after thinking for a while. "It seems I don't have much to worry about. I'm not familiar with Zhou Ze at all, and I don't know anything about his whereabouts."
He originally intended to find out Bertha's whereabouts through Will, the butler who was lurking around Bertha's side, since Bertha was Zhou Ze's head bodyguard.
Wherever she is, Zhou Ze will be there.
The problem is that he's just a housekeeper; unless Bertha tells him herself, how could he possibly ask about Bertha's whereabouts?
Furthermore, Bertha herself was very secretive; to guard against assassins from other races, she naturally wouldn't reveal Zhou Ze's whereabouts to anyone.
Including her father, the emperor.
