Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Requesting the Chief Justice’s Intervention

A drone warplane roared toward them. Third Huang and the others tensed up slightly. Of the over a hundred Mutant Tribes that had come, more than half had headed toward the bases of the Alliance’s institutions, organizations, and companies located here. Third Huang and his group had promised them that they wouldn’t take a single supply from those bases—they only wanted the people.

These Mutant leaders were second- or third-generation Mutants who hadn’t been nurtured by civilized society. They had absolutely no idea how immense the benefits would be once autonomy was successfully established.

The remaining fifty or so Mutant leaders waited quietly in the distance.

Yang Bo piloted his Mecha and hoisted a person up, showing zero fear of the warplane. Third Huang, on the other hand, felt the soles of his feet go numb with anxiety.

The drone warplane landed roughly ten meters away. It was a full size larger than the fighter jets on Earth, measuring over thirty meters long and forty meters wide. It had no visible cockpit or compartments—just one solid, seamless body.

"What are you trying to do?" a woman’s voice transmitted from the warplane.

"This is our Mutant planet! We Mutants demand independence and autonomy. We want a dialogue with the Alliance Council. To show our sincerity, we have about thirty innocent Alliance residents here. We also hold over thirteen hundred others—all Alliance citizens. They are researchers from more than twenty companies or institutions. If you don’t agree to our terms, we will kill them all.

"However, if you grant us autonomy, we will accept the Alliance’s jurisdiction. The Alliance can dispatch tax officers, and we will provide various planetary resources to the Alliance. Furthermore, we won’t demand military authority," Yang Bo finished his speech in one breath.

PFFT!

PFFT!

PFFT!

The personnel in the main control room were dumbfounded. Autonomy? Mutants wanting independence? Was this a fantasy drama?

"Listen closely, you residents! The missing people on your planets were trafficked to our planet by these organizations to be used in various experiments. This Mutant leader here was trafficked back then and nearly killed by these institutions and organizations.

"You are free to go. Walk toward the warplane, and its identification system will verify your identities." Yang Bo waved his hand, and Third Huang’s group released the residents. These were the unfortunate souls who had been captured along with Yang Bo, as well as a few soldiers from the Planet Fleet.

Dumbstruck and bewildered, the female Captain took a deep breath and activated the identification system. To her shock, she saw that the people released by the Mutants all had recorded profiles in the database.

The staff in the main control room exchanged bewildered glances. What... what kind of day was this?

"We will contact the Council as soon as possible."

"You have one hour. Bring the people from Four Seas Company forward." Yang Bo sneered inwardly; he felt he was already being too generous.

There were over thirty Four Seas Company employees present, forced to their knees by the Mutants.

"One by one, state all the illegal activities of the Four Seas Company that you know of," Yang Bo commanded.

"I..." The first person hesitated.

SPLAT! Yang Bo controlled his Mecha and swatted the person down with a single slap.

Genetic Potion Crafting +4!

"I know! They use residents with poor genetic test results for Genetic Potion experiments! Many of the Genetic Potions have a high mortality rate, some even exceeding forty percent!" the second person hurriedly shouted.

"Very good. State your citizen ID number." Yang Bo was very satisfied.

"Help! Save me! I’m from Terra Star... My citizen ID is..." the researcher cried out as he spoke.

"Did you see that? These are all Alliance citizens. If you fail to establish communication with the Council within one hour, all of them will die. Worst comes to worst, we Mutants will just go back to living underground. However, everyone in your Fleet will spend the rest of their days being despised by the entire Alliance.

"Oh, by the way, we also caught quite a few Pirates," Yang Bo added nonchalantly.

Aboard the warship, everyone turned to look at the Captain. Since it had already been proven that the first group were innocent residents, if all these people died, the entire Fleet’s personnel would be court-martialed. While the deaths of those criminal researchers could be brushed off, the dozens of innocent residents were an entirely different matter.

The female Captain immediately reported to the Military Department and simultaneously forwarded the report to the Council, knowing full well that the higher-ups in the Military Department might not make a sound decision.

Over at the Alliance Council, a heated debate was underway. Suddenly, the Speaker received a message and immediately shouted, "Silence! The Green Demon Star Fleet Commander is requesting a top-tier communication link!"

The council members, who had just been bickering and threatening to fight each other outside, immediately sat back down. In an instant, the Council fell dead silent.

When the video connection was established, a female Captain began her report. "Green Demon Star Planet Fleet Commander Dana reporting to the Council."

"General Dana, please go ahead," the Speaker responded formally.

"I... I’m not entirely sure how to report this. I ask that the council members watch this video. It was recorded five minutes ago," Captain Dana said after a moment of hesitation.

The council members were all taken aback. The screen then shifted to show a Mutant wearing a Biological Mecha, waving the Weapon in his hand. "This is our Mutant planet, and we Mutants will govern it ourselves! We demand independence. The Alliance can dispatch tax officers, and we will conduct normal trade with the Alliance..."

PFFT!

PFFT!

PFFT!

COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!

For a moment, the council members were utterly flabbergasted. Even though they were all Genetic Evolvers, they were startled by this sudden turn of events. Mutants wanting independence? What the hell was this? A war of independence?

When the council members saw the Four Seas Company researcher being slapped to death, they weren’t surprised in the slightest. However, their reactions changed when they heard another researcher confess that the Four Seas Company was conducting illegal experiments on innocent residents.

As if injected with stimulants, many council members immediately shouted, "Lock down the Four Seas Company! Detain all their personnel!"

"Hunt down all the shareholders of the Four Seas Company and hang them!"

"Exactly!"

"Bullshit! That’s just a one-sided claim. Besides, the Green Demon Star isn’t under the Alliance’s rule!"

"You’re the one spouting bullshit! The Alliance has ruled the Green Demon Star for hundreds of years! How long has the Fleet been stationed there? You definitely took dirty money from the Four Seas Company!"

In an instant, the Council descended into chaos. More people joined the frenzied shouting, while a small minority turned deathly pale. After all, the Four Seas Company wasn’t the only organization, institution, or company operating on the Green Demon Star.

Seeing this scene, the Speaker knew things had gone terribly wrong. The Green Demon Star’s autonomy was essentially a done deal. For starters, the majority of the council members who hadn’t profited from the operations there would agree to it, and the small fraction who had benefited wouldn’t dare to put up a fight.

"There is also another video," Captain Dana continued.

When the esteemed council members saw Yang Bo taking on a Spaceship single-handedly, they realized the situation was far from simple—especially when they saw that he actually succeeded.

"Is that A+ level Power?" Many of the esteemed council members grew excited upon seeing this. The higher a Genetic Evolver’s level, the longer their lifespan. If the Green Demon Star could produce an A+ level Mutant, then perhaps they would also have a chance to achieve such Power in the future.

When the council members established a connection with the Mutant on the Green Demon Star half an hour later, the other party’s opening sentence silenced the entire Council.

"I demand that the Alliance’s Chief Justice intervene in this incident." Although Yang Bo didn’t know what exactly a judge could do, he knew that the more people involved at this stage, the better. The Alliance was internally divided into various factions. The more factions dragged into this mess, the smoother things would ultimately proceed.
