Abyss Solo

The Governor's residence on Saka Star.

The video on Yang Ming's wristwatch finished playing, leaving the living room so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Daphne mentally simulated the subsequent uproar that Yang Ming's second video would trigger, her pretty face turning slightly pale.

Godoy laughed and said, "Hanton, to say the least, your attitude of admitting mistakes is excellent. This should help reduce the pressure from the military side on us."

Nearby, Han Yin and Han Xiang couldn't help but raise their hands to their foreheads.

"Governor, you might be oversimplifying things," Han Xiang said softly, "If this video spreads widely... I can't predict the ensuing consequences, but it's evidently detrimental to the Military Department."

"Boss," Han Yin stared at Yang Ming, "What do you intend to do?"

Yang Ming spread his hands, "What can I do? I'm just honestly admitting my mistakes."

"But aren't you disclosing too much information, the supermodified people, the dimensional enhancement experiments, the Empire's core system," Han Yin said, unable to resist frowning as she closely watched Yang Ming, "Especially, the public will subconsciously believe your words, this information did indeed widely circulate among civilians before, but from this moment, it will become the focus of public opinion."

Yang Ming said, "Rest assured, this won't affect the Empire."

Daphne asked, "Then what goal do you aim to achieve?"

"What goal can I have?"

Yang Ming looked at Daphne:

"They're the ones trying to harm me, Daphne. I can't just tie myself up and offer my neck to their raised Light Sword.

"This is merely my simple counterattack."

"No, you must be planning to achieve other goals," Daphne raised her hand to rub her forehead, "Is it under my father's instructions?"

Yang Ming smiled without speaking.

"You can't hide these things from me," Daphne said, "I need a quiet room, promise me not to let your tech team promote this video for now, okay?"

Yang Ming continued to watch her with a smile.

Daphne, at this moment, was not qualified to negotiate with him.

"Go and communicate," Yang Ming said, "It's best to convey all my words."

Daphne nodded slightly, stood up, and hurried to the corner resting room.

Han Yin and Han Xiang exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

The boss knew exactly what he was doing, meaning... the boss was starting a war with the Military Department and the Sherman family!

Godoy suddenly wore a look of realization, "Hanton, you're putting pressure on the upper echelons of the Empire?"

Han Yin whispered, "Boss, do you clearly know who your enemy is now?"

"Hmm?" Yang Ming smiled, "You two are from the Antenna Organization and report some information about me to them from time to time, right?"

The usually gentle and weak Han Xiang adamantly denied it.

The hot-tempered, foul-mouthed Han Yin calmly nodded, "Yes, Boss, I thought you wouldn't mention it, it's our tacit understanding."

"I want to know, is the Antenna Organization truly under the Emperor's control?"

"Of course."

"Fully controlled?"

"Almost," Han Yin blinked at Yang Ming, "For the sake of a high salary, I can share with you a piece of information... the Emperor is currently waiting for your communication invitation."

Boss Yang nodded, speaking slowly, "Please reassure the Emperor, his chief knight understands his intentions."

"I'm not directly responsible to the Emperor," Han Yin said, "However, this public opinion battle has little to do with our Antenna Organization, currently, eighty percent of the members in Antenna are women, and most of them are your fans, so they're often willing to share some unexcessive intelligence information with us."

Yang Ming:...

This was indeed unexpected for him.

"Go rest, let my private soldiers board the ship, but do not let the ship leave the port," Yang Ming reminded, "You sisters are not to get involved in this matter, Godoy, detach from me when necessary, your mission is to rejuvenate Saka Star."

Godoy wanted to speak but ultimately just nodded.

Yang Ming leaned back in his chair with a smile, closed his eyes, and said softly:

"No matter what, I am always loyal to the Empire."

After they left, Yang Ming's wristwatch began to buzz continuously, with messages continuously coming from Lyu.

[Boss, adjustments are complete, your match with Captain Catherine, Captain Catherine's speech, and your apology video are starting to capture the top headlines of major portals.]

[Public opinion guiding on community networks is complete.]

[Backup computational resources have been activated, we've temporarily requisitioned the latent network of all ships within the Empire's borders.]

[Lingxin has contributed some computational power to us, though I haven't touched Labuduo's computational resources yet for fear of leaving traces.]

[Targets for the terminators have been locked, with 362 plans prepared for assassination actions against key political figures of the Empire. Ready to be executed at any time.]

Yang Ming tapped his fingers on the table, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Right now, he really wanted to disregards everything and directly let a large number of terminators launch attacks.

But after calming down, Boss Yang finally remembered, currently Dark Star is not a match for the Empire, not even an incomplete Empire without principles.

The terminators are a countermeasure of desperation, far from reaching the point where such drastic measures are necessary.

—Lyu likely wouldn't ignore 'Levi's Empire' being destroyed, which is the main reason Yang Ming couldn't risk it easily.

As for the Sherman family...

The tables are about to turn, old fellows.

Yang Ming glanced at the resting room where Daphne was, and sent two text messages to Little Lyu.
