Chapter 1334 Sisterly Love
Chapter 1334 Sisterly Love
Although Huo Ming of Buyetian looks very weak now, as if he is still in a convalescent ward after recovering from a serious illness, at least his life seems to be safe.
His limbs were intact, with no obvious injuries. Even from the perspective of his vitality, he could tell that Huo Ming was in a relatively stable condition.
"That's great, sister! You're not dead, disabled, or a vegetable," said Huo Xing, raising her hands and happily jumping around the callus containing the Huo Ming. "That's great—long live!"
The captain followed behind Buyetian Huoxing and jumped up together.
Huo Ming slowly climbed up, supported by his calloused body, and said calmly, "Although an explosion of this magnitude is indeed terrifying, it's still a bit difficult to kill me."
Lin Yu nodded: "I'm so glad that you're okay, sir."
Buyetian Huoming glanced at the unharmed Fu Luo, Lin Yu, and Buyetian Huoxing, and sighed: "Although I really want to say that it's good that you are all okay, but you all look too fine, which makes me feel a little uneasy."
Then, Huo Ming from Buyetian added, "Of course, I'm not doubting that you were responsible for the explosion. After all, with Director Arthur's skills, if you really were the murderer, you wouldn't have to waste your time talking to me now... But I still want to confirm what you were doing just now - you shouldn't have been inside this base when the explosion happened, right?"
Buyetian Huoming said this with a normal expression.
Although from a rational point of view, she now has many reasons to suspect that the people in front of her are related to this ambush.
The intrigues between the big companies and nobles in the City That Never Sleeps are extremely serious. Even within the same company or the same family, it is very common for them to frame each other.
Combatants who have lived in the wilderness for a long time tend to be more suspicious because of the extreme environment there, and often find it difficult to trust people they are not familiar with - even people they are familiar with are not completely trustworthy.
But the fire in the Never-Night Sky is different.
She had obviously inherited some of Buye Tian Yonglian's wisdom. Even though she had just experienced the attack, she was able to quickly judge based on the timing of Lin Yu and his group's appearance and the scale of the explosion that it was unlikely that they were the masterminds.
The reason why Buyetian Huoming is able to gain the universal respect of her subordinates, rather than just awe of her royal aristocratic status, is not only because of her outstanding personal abilities, but also because of her "benevolent and righteous" style of "trusting people when employing them" - even if she cannot completely eliminate the suspicion of the people in front of her, but since the suspicion is not serious, Buyetian Huoming will still regard them as her own!
Seeing Huo Ming's reaction, Fu Luo responded, "Yes, respected Lord Huo Ming, when we were investigating the remains of the 'Fear' project within this base, we found some clues pointing to an abandoned mining site outside of this base. Since it's not too far away, we headed there."
Fu Luo stopped talking here and gave the right of interpretation to Lin Yu.
After all, Fu Luo was not quite sure how much Lin Yu was going to reveal to Huo Ming of Buyetian.
Before meeting Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky, Lin Yu had naturally already prepared a plan in mind.
He continued Fu Luo's words, "Indeed, Your Excellency Huo Ming, I mentioned to you before that when I was investigating these things, someone had been secretly obstructing us - that's why we were ambushed at the investigation site in the wild."
"The ambush wasn't too intense. We quickly eliminated the targets and met the mastermind behind it. He revealed his intentions in order to provoke us."
"This ambush is designed to delay us, to cause you to explode or even die on the spot, and to frame us."
"After all, if we were there, the explosion would not only not harm us, but it might even give us a chance to save most of the people."
As Lin Yu spoke, Huo Ming exhaled: "I see... Director Arthur, you are even more powerful than I thought."
"However, although I understand the trajectory of your actions, Director Arthur and Lord Forboluo...but, why are you acting together with the two of them, Huo Xing and my sister? - And you seem... not weak either."
Looking at Huo Ming's nonchalant questioning, Huo Xing stuck out her tongue and scratched her hair: "Oh, dear Sister Huo Ming, you found out..."
"Well, actually, Arthur and I are old acquaintances. I've told you before, and you should have heard that I often sneak out to the outer city to play... So, by chance, I got to know Arthur."
Lin Yu suddenly said, "Her true identity in the Outer City is actually the ruler of all the clubs in the Outer City, a mysterious being known as the 'Fairy Queen'."
Lin Yu was trying to make peace, but Buyetian Huoming showed a look of astonishment: "'Fairy Queen'? Buyetian Huoxing...you are the Fairy Queen?!"
Huo Xing glanced at Lin Yu with resentment: "Why are you talking about this? Why is everyone trying to tear me down and expose my past today?"
Lin Yu said calmly, "Since Lord Huo Ming has already realized that you are not simple, why not tell her your true identity and let her have a direct understanding of your strength."
When Buyetian Huoming saw that Buyetian Huoxing did not deny it, he was extremely shocked.
"Bu Ye Tian Huo Xing... are you the mysterious 'Fairy Queen'? How... how did you cultivate such a huge power in the outer city?"
Huo Xing said helplessly, "It's actually very simple, sister. Just like how you established your prestige in the Great Wilderness... people from the outer cities, like people from the Great Wilderness, also worship strength."
"With just alchemy and personal strength, plus a little bit of management, it's easy to gain a position in the outer city... Of course, reaching the level of the 'Fairy Queen' also involves a lot of luck."
Huo Xing of Buyetian said modestly.
Huo Ming looked at the other party and held his forehead helplessly: "So, mother also knows about this?"
Nevernight Fire Apricot smiled faintly: "Hehe, it's really hard to hide this from Mother... Although I have been hiding it for many years, but... it was still caused by this guy's sabotage and snitching."
Buyetian Huoxing nudged Lin Yu, who was standing next to her, with her elbow.
Lin Yu was very calm: "It may not be related to me. The wisdom of the head of the family is immeasurable. She may have known about your affairs in the outer city for a long time, but she just didn't care..."
Huo Ming watched the two interact and immediately connected more things: "So, you were also involved in Director Arthur's investigation into the Turbine Gang?"
"The reason your mother grounded you was because you caused a horrific incident in the outer city?"
Huo Xing nodded: "Yes, we were also ambushed in the Turbine Gang - it should be the same group of people who ambushed you here... I'm sorry, dear Sister Huo Ming, for dragging you into this."
Huo Ming shook his head. "My mother assigned me this mission personally. It's not about getting involved or not...Since I'm in this position, I'm naturally exposed to all kinds of risks. This is just one of them."
"Furthermore, risk also means opportunity. The more risk a project has, the greater my achievement will be if I complete it."
Huo Ming spoke firmly, and then he sighed deeply after finishing his words: "However, I was really deceived by you... I thought you were confined by your mother just to go out and play, and wanted to come to the Great Wilderness because you yearned for freedom. It turns out that you have other plans."
Huo Xing looked at Huo Ming's expression and scratched her head in embarrassment. "I didn't mean to do that, Sister Huo Ming. It's just that I'm used to hiding myself sometimes... I've never told anyone about these things, so I don't know how to start talking."
Buyetian Huoming waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. We were born in the Buyetian family and we have no choice in many things..."
"At least for me, it's a good thing that you are my sister, not a pitiful, weak thing."
"Besides, you and I are now partners—as a partner, I hope to see you excel—and now that I know your future identity as the 'Fairy Queen,' I will definitely ask you to facilitate matters in the outer city."
Huo Xing nodded: "No problem, dear sister, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you - the entire outer city's societies and mercenaries treat my orders as if they were oracles."
Huo Ming pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll be relying on you... However, we can discuss these matters later when we get back. Now let's count the losses."
"Also, although I didn't die... the location of the explosion was incredibly clever. It could have easily falsely accused you of setting the explosion and killing me even if I didn't survive."
"If they retreat...then they can frame me and stir up a conflict between the Truth Company and the Universal Chamber of Commerce while I'm still alive."
"If I were the murderer, that's what I would do."
Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky spoke in a low voice, and Lin Yu nodded.
He also thought of this possibility.
"That's right. We have to be prepared. If one outpost is destroyed, the other outposts of the Universal Chamber of Commerce will definitely come to support us."
"Sir Huo Ming, should we stay here and wait to negotiate with them, or should we leave for now and return to the Truth Company and your sphere of influence?"
Huo Ming of the Nightless Sky said, "Of course I left first. I don't intend to gamble my life and personal freedom on the fact that the people of the Sorens family have good intentions and will not take advantage of this situation."
"Dongming Suliu—are you still fucking alive?"
Huo Ming shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing over the ruins.
Soon, several bricks were pushed open from under the ruins of a building in the distance.
Dongming Shuliu emerged from inside with blood all over his face. "Thanks to you, Boss, I'm still alive—I just feel a little dizzy!"
