Chapter 1087: Chapter 558: My Brother’s Boss’s Boss Is Truly Impressive (Part 2)
He signaled with a glance, and the commander beside him immediately issued an order.
In the prison cabin, everyone still seemed clueless, as if they could sense that the warship was still stationed in place.
Buzz-- The hatch opened once more.
Everyone turned towards the sound to see Joseph, who had taken off his combat armor. However, his face was a bit grim, and a large group of soldiers followed behind him.
He quickly headed towards a certain cell, and upon seeing Zorro lying on the floor, his life or death unclear, his expression changed drastically, his voice somewhat frantic, "Quick, quick, go save him."
The soldiers behind him scrambled. Some were obviously medics, quickly opening the cell door and entering, systematically removing the restraints on Zorro.
And began injecting various recovery potions.
Inside the cell was silent, everyone watching this bizarre scene unfold, their throats moving.
An uncontrollable guess surfaced in their minds--
Has his elder brother’s big boss really come?
Is he really that righteous?
Perhaps Zorro’s fate was not sealed. After a few minutes of resuscitation, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Suddenly leaping up from the ground, albeit with a somewhat confused look, he immediately took on a combat stance.
But the intense pain from his muscles made it hard to maintain.
However, upon seeing Joseph with a grave expression and the medics around examining him.
His brows furrowed, "Let... let me guess, someone came to save me?"
"Since you are from the Mechanical Court, why didn’t you say so earlier?" Joseph said coldly.
"Mechanical Court?"
At the mention of this name, everyone around audibly gasped, knowing well this rapidly rising new force.
Backed by the super figure Divine Craftsman Azure Dragon, its leader is his student Li Ming, also quite famous, known as the person with the highest interstellar development potential.
Zorro is with the Mechanical Court? That doesn’t match what he said before.
Suddenly, everyone’s faces froze slightly.
Could the big boss his elder brother mentioned be Azure Dragon?
This big shot, so willing to talk, and willing to come rescue him?
"Let’s go." Joseph said somberly.
Zorro’s body swayed, restraining his expression, showing no sign of fox bluffing, quietly following along.
For now, what’s most important is to leave here, he’s still in others’ hands.
"Zorro, don’t forget me..."
"Save us..."
Seeing Zorro leave surrounded by a group of people, a sea of shouts erupted from around.
Boarding the small flying device with Joseph, the bluish-white airflow gushing from the engine nozzle exited the ship.
The scenes on both sides took his breath away, mechanical bodies like a celestial curtain enveloping the Empire Fleet, silent, yet resembling a star ring.
The most eye-catching were those eight mechanical bodies exuding strong energy aura, the surging energy turbulence forming a corona ring.
His temples pulsed with piercing pain, this was the overloaded energy radiation penetrating the flying device’s shell, also known as the pressure of a high-level life form.
"Such a big formation, does that bastard Robbin have such face?"
Zorro swallowed, the acids in his heart churning, he knew Robbin held some secret, hence thinking Azure Dragon held ill intentions against him.
But now, it seemed different from what he imagined, appearing to be quite valued.
Joseph’s face was gloomy, it was always him who executed since Zorro was first caught until the last time. Being told to escort him was already a clear message.
They didn’t know Zorro’s exact identity, but if he was very honorable, then he was to make amends.
"Imperial dog, set your mind at ease, though you beat me quite bad, you were just following orders, I won’t take your life."
Zorro’s voice came from behind, Joseph’s expression changed slightly, following the command from the Mechanical Court, piloting the flying device to dock at a certain warship.
When Zorro disembarked, the first sight was seeing Robbin standing on the platform, donned in custom combat uniform, looking every inch the part.
"Damn!" After holding back for so long, Zorro couldn’t help but squeeze out a word through his teeth.
"Haha..." Robbin laughed heartily, looking at the seemingly heavily damaged Zorro, showing no concern, instead tutting, "Seems like you haven’t been doing too well lately."
"You son of a..." Zorro’s expression shifted, quickly approaching, lowered his voice, "Impressive, I have another favor to ask, my subordinates are still in their hands, can you get them too?"
Robbin’s face twitched, "Damn it, why didn’t you say earlier."
"Aren’t these all your people? My men are just minor figures, not important." Zorro urged.
"Who told you they are all my people?" Robbin said with an unpleasant look. "The Empire also has pride, encircling them already shows disrespect enough."
"To go back on our words and ask for more people is to slap their face again?"
"Besides, I cannot make that decision on my own, these mechanical bodies won’t listen to me."
Zorro was worth opening discussions with him and Li Ming, but for Zorro’s bunch of subordinates, he hadn’t even seen them a few times, not worth considering further, nor was he willing to plead to Li Ming for it.
Zorro’s expression fluctuated, gritting his teeth suddenly, "Talk to him, there’s something in my body, as long as he’s willing to get my men out, he can handle me however he wants, even dissect me, I’m willing."
"You..." Robbin’s face changed slightly, but then came a voice from beside, "Alright."
Intertwined with a bluish light was Li Ming’s virtual projection appearing, sizing up Zorro, "You are quite a responsible leader, remember your words."
Zorro was momentarily stunned, taking a deep breath, ignoring Robbin’s gesture, nodding heavily.
Li Ming immediately gave the order, "Detain the Empire fleet, don’t let a single one go."
"Yes..." The response in the channel was brief and strong.
Zorro’s eyes widened, looking at Robbin, was it that simple?
Robbin snorted coldly, it’s him who’s the real boss, fool, think about yourself.
Li Ming then turned to Zorro, his expression indifferent, "I will send someone to escort you back swiftly, I know you have some special ability, but I remind you, best present yourself whole before me."
"Uh..." Zorro was taken aback, his expression embarrassed, "Um, Boss Li Ming, those words, can I reconsider?"
Li Ming ignored him, his projection already vanished.
A shadow covered the two, without knowing when, an S-level mechanical body riding a mechanical warhorse had appeared behind them.
Zorro turned stiffly, his cheeks twitching, barely squeezing out a smile.
Returning from the Dimension World did not take too long.
Zorro was uneasy all along, until stepping out from the Dimensional Portal, he was still asking questions.
"... I don’t mind being dissected, but could you spare my life?" Zorro followed Robbin, riding a small flying device.
Not having the time to admire the majestic artificial planets around, his heart was filled with unease.
"Now you know fear? How did you promise back then?" Robbin laughed repeatedly coldly.
"... Who knew it would be this simple, after all that’s the Empire, thought it would take some effort, turns out it’s just a word from them." Zorro looked utterly despondent, with no alternatives.
Robbin was indifferent, "Just pray whatever is in your body, can be extracted simply."
He looked utterly miserable, saying again, "I fear it’s not possible, with the Empire’s stringent detection measures, not finding any clue, how could it be easily extracted."
Robbin glanced at him, curious about what was inside Zorro’s body, yet refrained from asking.
"We’re here..."
Not long after, the two arrived at the Constant Star Base, following the mechanical body’s lead straight into the Heavenly Palace.
Zorro looked around all the way with envy, "So this is the boss’s base."
"Don’t joke around later." Robbin warned, Zorro nodded hurriedly, understanding the seriousness.
Entering the magnificent highest hall, Zorro saw that excessively young yet already emerging in the interstellar realm, highest potential life form for interstellar development, Azure Dragon’s student-- Li Ming.
He’s indeed quite handsome.
He cautiously observed, then noticed Li Ming gesturing, earnestly nodding his head.
Suddenly, a luminescent blue glow intertwined; it was Li Ming’s virtual projection descending, looking Zorro up and down, "You’re quite a responsible leader, remember your words."
Zorro froze slightly, took a deep breath, and ignoring Robbin’s prompt, nodded heavily.
Li Ming immediately gave an order, "Detain the Empire’s fleet, let no one get away."
"Yes..." The channel’s response was short and forceful.
Zorro widened his eyes, looking at Robbin, was it that simple?
Robbin snorted coldly, that person is the real boss, you idiot, think about yourself now.
Li Ming then gazed at Zorro, his expression indifferent, "I will, as long as you remember your words."
"Uh..." Zorro was taken aback, took a deep breath, ignoring Robbin’s signal, nodded solemnly.
Li Ming then gave an order, "Detain the Empire’s fleet, and let no one leave."
"Yes..." The reply on the channel was prompt and decisive.
Zorro stood wide-eyed, looking at Robbin, was it really that simple?
Robbin snorted coldly, "That person is the big shot here, you fool, take care of yourself with that."
Li Ming now looked down upon them, seemingly having returned from the Dimension World without much time elapsed.
He then slowly stretched out his hand.
This is some kind of ritual?
Zorro was a bit flustered, deeply inhaled, ignoring Robbin’s hints, and nodded heavily.
Soon, a bluish glow intertwined, as Li Ming’s virtual projection appeared, "Truly a responsible boss, remember what you’ve said."
Slowly, a shadow covered the two of them, and without knowing when, a mechanical warhorse appeared riding by someone.
A shadow enveloped the two of them; at some point in time, an entity riding a mechanical warhorse had quietly descended.
Returning from the Dimension World did not take very long.
