Chapter 317: Change of plan
Unlike other Sectors where there was a variety of organizations in control, such as the case of the Collapsing Lightning Sector having the Collapsing Lightning Duke and organizations like the Blood Sea and Sky Sundering Roc University, every inch of the Prometheus Sector was under the control of the Imperial Court.
The Imperial Court of the Godslayer Humankind Empire was a massive organization with hundreds of thousands of individuals. Although it might sound like a lot, it was a force whose purpose was to monitor the political and military power of the entire Gaia Continent, whose population surpassed a trillion.
Even those at the lower echelon of the Imperial Court had great influence in the empire, especially within the boundaries of the Prometheus Sector, where the imperial power was at the highest level.
Near the border of the Prometheus Sector, there was a massive port where hundreds of Star Cruisers from all over the empire arrived and left during the day. The amount of wealth that moved through this location in a single day was more than what the Blood Sea could generate in an entire month, and this was one of hundreds of ports spread across the Sector.
A young man stood in the port, and his eyes focused on a Star Cruiser from the Collapsing Lightning Sector. He had blond hair and blue eyes and wore a golden robe with the words "Chamber of Commerce" on the back.
"That is the Star Cruiser from the Imperial Lightning Fort sent by the Collapsing Lightning Duke. We have more than enough people to do the inventory ourselves. There is no need for someone of such high status as Treasurer Marcus to waste his time with this."
A bald old man with a black beard stood beside the young man. Despite his old age, he was a Wave King, and his aura was immensely powerful.
"Guardian Krima, I am in charge of this Imperial Port, and there is no task too small for me."
Marcus’ voice was serene as he uttered those words and stared at the Start Cruiser with a smile.
Krima’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the young man, but he did not open his mouth again. It was clear to him that something suspicious was going on, but he was unwilling to antagonize someone as influential as the young man, so the best path was to remain silent.
It did not take long for the Star Cruiser to descend, and it automatically opened its cargo doors, allowing access to Marcus and Krima.
However, just as the duo was about to move into the Star Cruiser, they saw two red eyes emerge from the shadows.
