Chapter 717: Final Closure
As expected, Zeke heaved a drawn-out sigh. There was no way that guy could die so easily.
He could even survive under Lu Yizhou’s sudden launch of the exploding crystal ball. Even a cockroach was not as tenacious as he was. Perhaps because of the former Crown Prince’s gene in his body, he could somehow sense that the man had not died yet. As such, he was not too surprised by Dr. Feng’s revelation.
As early as when the researchers created exploding crystal balls all those years ago, they had also created life-saving capsules as a countermeasure. Even the material of military warships could not hold out against the crystal ball, but it was different from life-saving capsules. But in the end, these two items failed to be mass produced.
For the former, it was because the explosive attack of the crystal ball was too fearsome. Fearing that it would be inappropriately used as a weapon of mass destruction, it ended up being banned and stored in the Imperial Palace’s treasure room. As for the latter, it was actually quite simple and ironic – the material needed to produce life-saving capsules was too rare. In the end, not only were there less than fifty of them in the entire world, it could also only hold one person per capsule.
The supply could not even cover the top 1% of the richest, most resourceful people in the Capital Planet. It could be predicted how much chaos would break out once people started to fight for it.
In the end, they were sold in the black market at an exorbitant price and people who encountered them did not only need wealth, but also terrifying luck.
The King, as the monarch who stood above all, had the exclusive privilege to own one for himself. But Zeke recalled how he had not used it before he was killed by Lu Yizhou, otherwise his ending would have been different now. No wonder the former Crown Prince could take possession of that. He must have returned to the Imperial Palace after the royal assasination to take whatever he could from the treasure room.
Zeke did not have any opinion about the former Crown Prince’s survival. Whether that guy died or not, it did not have anything to do with him. It had been this way since the start, and it would also be like this until the end.
However, seeing that he fell silent as though in deep contemplation, Dr. Feng misunderstood that he was feeling troubled. He wrecked his brain for a moment, then gritted out with much difficulty. "If... If you want to see him, Dr. Xiao and I can think of something."
Zeke was taken aback for a second before he let out a brief chuckle, amused. "What do I need to see him for? It’s not like he wants to see me either."
The way he answered it so easily without sparing a second of thought left Dr. Feng at an utter loss of words. For some inexplicable reason, he felt like Zeke did not change much after his illness was cured – at least for other people. It was only in front of Lu Yizhou would he express deep emotions like never before.
"Well, that’s good." Dr. Feng shrugged in relief. "Now that he has been caught by the military, it won’t be so easy for him to escape anymore. I don’t know what they will do to him. But at the very least, he will be kept under surveillance for the next few years."
