241 Enraged.
Shi Lang kicked the door open, and without caring about the alarms going off. He walked inside the cell. He was still inside the manor, and this place had a top-notch medical facility and even a prison. The assailants from that day were immobilized and held inside this prison.
The young man walked inside the cell and looked at the two people. Jenkins had told him over the days, that there were eight people, and Six of them had been killed during interrogation. Shi Lang did not care about anything. He only asked them to stop and not to interrogate anymore. Just make sure that these people could not die.
At this moment, Shi Lang stood in front of two people. They were scared of the sudden bang on the door, and when they saw Shi Lang they were even doubting their lives. How could this man come here? How can he survive a full impact attack from the phasor canon? Such questions were going on inside their minds.
Shi Lang did not have the mood to bother talking to them. He walked up to the two people who looked like they were humans with crimson matte skin tones and placed his hand on one of their heads. The next thing was soul-shaking screams. The people who had followed him could tell that Shi Lang has not exerted the slightest force, then why was this person under his hand screaming so painfully?
Shi Lang was tuning the ancient method of soul searching. If the partially autonomous brain prevents them from leaking any secrets, then the enraged cultivator decided to go inside the depths of their being.
Every life in this universe carries a trace of spirit, as they grow, the spirit grows, recording everything they do, and learning from everything around them. All the memories were contained inside the spirit source of a creature. Shi Lang was brutally violating that source, so the pain was obvious. It was like you are being sliced open by a scalpel without anesthesia.
After a minute, when Shi Lang was done, the person under his hand was useless, the other person looked at him with dread and said, “It was the agency, please spare me I will tell you everything.”
Shi Lang replied, “I already know what you know.”
Then he took out his handgun and the brain matters of the alien humanoid were splashed on the wall behind. The young man did not even wait for a second and walked out of the prison cell. He found that Jenkins and Nexa were standing at the door, with General Charlotte and General Edwards.
Nexa stepped forward and depressing the fear in her heart she said, “Lang, I…”
Shi Lang gazed at her and Nexa froze. The young man said, “Tell Nexalia, she does not owe me an explanation, but she owes me blood. I will clear this balance on my own. If she or anyone stands in my way, I will not hold back.”
That said, he bypassed her and said, “Jenkins, prepare, we are going to pay respects to the Empress of Neomon.”
Jenkins heard the command and replied, “Yes, Sir.”
Shi Lang was no longer in the mood to stay back in vacation mode. His state of mind had changed completely. At first, he preferred to be easy-going. Thinking this was not the time for spiritual cultivation. He did not expect the enemies to act this sleazily. They poked him and now he was going to seek revenge.
The young man did not care about the reddening eyes of the Princess and made his way to look for Amelia. The girl was also getting discharged after recovering completely. Shi Lang walked inside the room and found Amelia to be packing up the few things she owned.
The family was beside her and they got her some of her things when they came for convenience. Amelia sensed his arrival and turned around. Shi Lang did not say anything and knelt on the ground. The gesture surprised Amelia. Shi Lang said, “I am here to apologize to you, I almost led you to…”
Amelia hurried forward and pulled him up from the ground. She hugged him and said, “Are you trying to break up with me?”
Shi Lang was shocked, he did not say much but shook his head. He embraced her and said, “I was scared that you will not be here when I woke up. I was scared that something might have happened to you. I am guilty, it was not supposed to be like this.”
Amelia hugged him back and said, “I do not mind going through the sea of fire for you. Do not blame yourself. However, you must find that enemy and kill him. What if that guy endangered our family.”
Shi Lang released a breath so cold, that Amelia almost imagined the world around them freezing. Amelia was unaffected by the change in the aura and said, “Calm down, you will not be able to think clearly. Remember, anger will destroy wisdom.”
Shi Lang closed his eyes and said, “This time, you be my wisdom, and I will be your rage.”
Amelia knew, this time, that Shi Lang was not going to listen to her. He has told her once, that if a cultivator suppresses rage, after a point he will develop psychological barriers, she did not understand the effects of spiritual energy on a cultivator’s mind, but she knew that Shi Lang was not joking.
She nodded and asked, “We will do it your way. What do you want to do?”
Shi Lang said, “Investigate the royal court.”
Amelia was surprised but knowing his influence here, she nodded. The neomon was alive because he was acting at that time. This time he was attacked and Neomon was shocked.
…
The ship took off, and for safety reasons, Shi Lang decided to bring everyone to Nestia. The journey was short and Nexa tried to approach him, but the cold from Shi Lang scared her. The Terran had no idea to care about her. He was going to exact revenge and not for promoting friendship.
The spaceship landed on the spaceport and Shi Lang walked out of the hatch door, wearing a complete uniform, the black suit of the general paired with golden epaulets. His aura was like death itself has come forward. The welcoming team did not have the guts to raise the guard of honor.
Shi Lang walked down the hatch door, followed by the former first general of the federation and General Charlotte. Hayley’s mother also followed them. She was the first lady of the federation, her status was no less than these generals. The youngsters followed behind them. Just by gazing at the military uniforms, one could tell that these people were not simple.
Nexalia has earlier known about the identity of the people and this time they all came together, the pressure was greater. She had to grit her teeth and step forward to meet the big shots. Shi Lang was walking at the forefront. He looked at the lady in front of him and unlike the last time, this time he bowed his head, “Your Excellency.”
Nexalia almost cried, she shook her head and said, “Lang, we are friends.”
Shi Lang raised his head abruptly and asked in a cold voice, “Are we?”
Nexalia gulped a mouthful of spit and said, “Yes.”
“Then why have you not found the person responsible for this?”, asked Shi Lang.
Nexalia clenched her fists and then relaxed them before she said, “No stone was left unturned. However, the clues…”
Shi Lang said, “Disappointing, right?”
The empress nodded slightly. The position of the two seemed to have changed. Shi Lang said, “Arrange a quiet room, we need to talk.”
Nexalia agreed and they all departed for the imperial palace. After a few moments, Shi Lang and the rest of his people were sitting inside a luxurious room. Nexalia and her sister, along with a few loyal ministers sat opposite them. Shi Lang did not bother with the decoration. He said, “Have you heard of galactic assassins?”
These two words, made two people shocked, Nexalia was the first one, and the second person was, General Edwards. The former asked, “Where did you hear that name?”
Shi Lang waved his hand and said, “Tell me, what is this organization?”
Nexalia nodded and said, “They are a bunch of assassins, it is said that their heads quarter located on the home planet of the galactic council. This is a small organization that carries out political and commissioned assassinations around the galaxy, it is manipulated by the higher-ups of the galaxy council.”
Shi Lang nodded, and said, “Those people belonged to this organization. They are dead, and they did not confess anything. The last one wanted to say something but I shot him in the brain, destroying the transponder in the artificial brain. Without signals, the enemy will not know what we know. Moving on, who can commission my head to these people?”
Nexalia and the rest were still thinking when the First Lady of the Federation said, “General Lang, as far as I know, only the envoys from around the galaxy and some of the reputed businessmen are allowed to stay on the home planet of the Galactic Council. So, it could be among these two groups.”
Shi Lang nodded, this was something he had thought of, he said, “Thank you, Madam President.”
General Charlotte said, “Who can hate you so much?”
The people began to think and suddenly OB-One said, “Sire, the fighter ships passed through the Neomonian space patrols as they knew about the patrol route. Another thing that should be noted is that the Neomonian Envoy Kar-te has been contacting Envoy Shashi a lot more these past days and he is trying to ask about the internal affairs of the fleets. I suspect this person is involved.”
Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and gazed at Nexalia filled with rage.
