Abyss Solo

Chapter 313: A Simple Crossing (Part Four)


"Emperor's Biography?"

Catherine looked at the just-opened package.

This beautifully decorated physical book slightly surprised her.

Wasn't this the book Hanton had always been reading?

She opened the front page and saw a line of small writing by Yang Ming.

"To the beautiful and intelligent fighting maniac. ——Hanton."

Catherine pursed her lips and smiled, untied her ponytail, adjusted the Golden Mask into a headband, picked up the automatically prepared warm water beside her, and let her slender body sink into the sofa by the window.

Outside the window was the night view of Yaha Star, busy yet serene.

She had just finished an external mission and had earned a few days off, hesitating whether to go see Yang Ming.

She had heard that while Yang Ming's case with the nobles' collective on Bryant Star was unfinished, he launched a surprise attack on the second planet of the Emperor Star Circle, and after eight days of undercover investigation, he gathered a large amount of criminal evidence against the local nobles.

"Now if I go, I might disrupt his work."

Catherine sighed softly and lowered her head to flip through the pages.

She thought again of the series of events she had experienced in the Supermodified Center.

Catherine could be certain, Bryant had done a lot, and the Supermodified Organization might already be under Bryant's control.

She had some difficulty understanding the relationship between Bryant and Hanton.

Bryant had more than once expressed his loyalty to the White Ghost, Hanton.

Even those Supermodified Organization employees who were influenced and controlled by Bryant would say to her:

"Deepest respects to the great Ghost."

This was more than just a password for recognition.

It could be that with Bryant at its core, a somewhat frightening organization had been constructed.

What was Hanton up to?

Catherine looked down at the book in her hands, her expression becoming slightly frozen.

As time went by, Catherine found that instead of decreasing, the secrets surrounding Hanton were steadily increasing, and this man, shrouded in mystery from head to toe, had completely drawn her into the swamp of human love.

However, she also constantly reminded herself that love should not be the entirety of her short life.

She needed and had to do certain things.

Now, she had the opportunity.

She had personally selected twenty-five Supermodified people who shared her ideals to surround her.

They had established their future goals, had united their thoughts when facing life and death decisions at the Supermodified Center, and had a firm belief to advance or retreat, and live or die together.

These twenty-six individuals were still loyal to the Empire.

This loyalty was the driving force for their striving efforts;

they would use their limited lives to contribute to the Empire by eradicating the corruption within.

The Empire was too vast; they might not be able to achieve the lofty goal of institutional reform, but they were willing to burn their souls to light this lamp.

This "Emperor's Biography"...

Catherine suddenly understood the purpose of Yang Ming giving her this book.

"One must first understand the Emperor to overthrow the Emperor."

Her eyes lit up, and her interest in reading instantly doubled.

Ding, ding!

The shell-shaped communicator automatically popped out a projection screen, and Catherine turned her head to glance at it, then grabbed it.

It was a message from him.

[Hanton (Dear Ghost): Did you receive the book?]

[Catherine (Future Wife): Received it! Are you done with your work?]

[Hanton (Dear Ghost): Finished, the second batch of nobles has been arrested.]

[Catherine (Future Wife): I have four days off, can I fly over to see you?]

[Hanton (Dear Ghost): Of course, there's nothing for me here anymore, the Military Department's task force has arrived, and local defense forces have taken control of the situation, all I need to do now is sign a few documents.]

[Catherine (Future Wife): Mainly vacation, secondary case work?]

[Hanton (Dear Ghost): Undercover work is hard, so here's what, I'll talk to Director Riva, and get you transferred over as my guard, they should not refuse my reasonable request.]

[Catherine (Future Wife): I still need to study, and there are many things to deal with, but I can solve them online... I'll pack my bags now.]

Yang Ming blinked, turned his head to look at the bustling temporary command center, and with a bit of guilt, replied:

[No problem.]

While everyone was so busy, was it too much for him to be romantic with his girlfriend?

Yang Ming rubbed his nose, forgiving himself with the lofty excuse of "Why should the commander personally charge into battle?", and then made the call to Director Riva.

Director Riva wasn't controlled by Bryant, but she had no reason to refuse such an excellent opportunity to gain reputation and merits for the Supermodified Organization.

The White Ghost, who was currently leading the Empire's noble reformation movement, was seen as "politically correct."

Ten minutes later, Yang Ming convened a leaders' meeting for the task force.

In no time at all, he deferred the opportunity for commendation to two Imperial Palace maids, a local defense chief, and two majors from the Military Department task force.

Yang Ming, who kept a low profile, nearly disappeared before the situation settled.

The commendation request for the first case had already been put forward, with Han Yin and the others' names indeed at the top, the Emperor had issued an endorsement.

Yang Ming's noble character brought Han Yin, Han Xiang, and others to show deep respect.

So, now regardless of the reason Yang Ming chose to leave on his own, these people would all feel...

The Ghost was right.

...

Half an hour later.

Yang Ming sneaked out of the temporarily requisitioned defense force command building. Outside, a hover car was already waiting, carrying him to a local luxury hotel for rest.
