I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 932: Chapter 613: Deal (Part 2)

Just as Mrs. Arroyo said, only by combining the spiritual spring with the youth potion can the "beauty sanctuary" on Wind Whisper Star firmly maintain its position.

If she fails, all her hard work and the "Madam route" plan she’s labored over for years on Wind Whisper Star will go to waste.

Thinking of this, Katherine’s frustration grew stronger, and her fingers unconsciously tightened, gripping the kitten’s nape.

The kitten instantly opened its eyes, sensing the displeasure in its owner’s tone, and quickly closed them again, nestling in her arms obediently, pretending nothing had happened, fearful of angering this temperamental master.

"Big sister boss,"

The burly man carefully raised his eyes. Seeing the coldness on Katherine’s face, he lowered his voice even further, "I’ve checked, Lingfeng Trading Company is backed by the Dongfang Clan. All our previous cooperation requests were politely declined; they’re unfazed by both hard and soft tactics. How about we ask the chairman to step in?"

"No!"

Katherine frowned even more, her tone suddenly turning cold and carrying a trace of impatience: "Encounter a little trouble and you go find the old man? What would the subordinates think of me?"

Who dares to risk their life speaking up!

The burly man muttered inwardly but, upon seeing the coldness on Katherine’s face, he ultimately didn’t dare to say more. He just shrank his neck and obediently lowered his head.

"Go and investigate carefully for me. Find out who the real controller of Lingfeng Trading Company is, and get to the bottom of him," Katherine said coldly. "I’ll handle the rest."

"Okay, big sister boss!" The burly man quickly nodded in agreement.

Beep beep——

Just then, the smartwatch on Katherine’s wrist started to ring, its screen flashing a pale blue light.

She glanced at the incoming call display, her eyebrows slightly moved, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still raised her hand to answer the call.

"Spit it out; I’m annoyed right now!"

As soon as the call connected, Katherine unceremoniously spoke.

"Need your help with something."

On the other end, Yang Ling’s voice came, his tone calm, clearly accustomed to her fiery temper, and he went straight to the point.

"What is it?"

Katherine’s expression softened slightly.

She knew that Yang Ling, as a Black Card Judge of the Judgement Court, had high authority, and wouldn’t seek her help unless it was urgent.

"Need you to rescue someone."

Without any extraneous padding, Yang Ling told Katherine all about the Blood Demon Cult’s secret stronghold on Wind Whisper Star, and how Xue Wuyang’s son was imprisoned there.

The Blood Demon Cult has a secret stronghold on Wind Whisper Star?

Upon hearing this news, Katherine’s expression changed slightly.

Wind Whisper Star is a planet she’s particularly cultivated, almost every industry has her involvement.

She’s long considered it her half-private garden.

Yet, right under her nose, the Blood Demon Cult managed to infiltrate and secretly establish a stronghold? This was like slapping her in the face!

"Okay, I’ll handle this," Katherine said decisively, "I’ll rescue the person and crush those scumbags while I’m at it!"

Wind Whisper Star now gathers many wealthy madams and powerful women; if the Blood Demon Cult causes trouble and harms these people, her business on Wind Whisper Star would be completely ruined.

This was something she absolutely could not accept.

"Alright, it’s up to you then," Yang Ling nodded, preparing to hang up the phone.

"Hey, I didn’t say I’d help for nothing!"

Katherine suddenly spoke up.

Yang Ling shook his head helplessly, and said, "Alright, what do you want me to do?"

Katherine went straight to the point: "Help me find out about someone — the real controller of Lingfeng Trading Group. I want to get a batch of youth potions from him."

Being a Black Card Judge, Yang Ling could investigate through official channels, which would be much faster and more accurate than if she sent someone.

Moreover, she knew that as long as she asked, Yang Ling would not only help her investigate but would also try to help her make contact.

This guy, though lazy at usual times, is extremely reliable when it comes to actually getting things done.

"Lingfeng Trading Group?" Upon hearing the name, an odd smile flashed in Yang Ling’s eyes, and his tone took on a playful note.

"You’ve really come to the right person for this one."

Upon hearing this, Katherine was filled with joy and quickly pursued, "You know him? How’s your relationship? Can you help me make contact?"

Yang Ling’s lips slightly curved up, "This time I’m seeking your help on behalf of someone. And the person who entrusted me happens to be the real controller of Lingfeng Trading Group."

What a coincidence!

Katherine’s eyes sparkled instantly, and the bald burly man listening to their conversation showed a look of surprise as well.

A sudden turn for the better!

"I’ll get the person out as soon as possible, and after that, I’ll personally take him to the Royal Star to meet you," Katherine said in a light mood, no longer irritated as before.

"Good, he actually wants to meet you too," Yang Ling said with a meaningful smile.

Familiar with Yang Ling, Katherine immediately sensed something unusual from his tone and smile, and she tentatively asked, "Is this person’s identity very special?"

"Indeed," Yang Ling glanced at Qin Tian not far from him and deliberately emphasized his words, "He’s someone we both know."

The word "both" was spoken with extra clarity, carrying an obvious hint.

Katherine was startled and instantly understood — someone they both knew, and someone Yang Ling treated with such gravity, with a deliberate hint, could only be a member of the Mythical Society, no one else!

It must be a member of the Mythical Society!

Upon realizing this, a knowing smile appeared on Katherine’s face, and she almost immediately locked onto the target.

Juling Shen was taciturn, just a reticent gourd, rarely interacting with members of the Mythical Society, could never have managed such a large trading company.

Sea King Poseidon is a loves historical decryption and interstellar tourism wanderer, his mind is not on business, easily excluded.

War God Ares is a native from a remote star, even her secret manual for spiritual cultivation was given by Katherine; he couldn’t possibly have the capability to establish the Lingfeng Group.

Taoist Duobao is a master obsessed with artifact refining, usually too busy with his refining business to dabble in beauty products.

This leaves only one person — the Underworld King!

Though Underworld King was the last to join the Mythical Society, he had long become the core of every trade meeting.

He possesses powerful explosive iron balls, large-capacity space equipment, and does extensive collection of Dragon Blood provided by Ares, as well as the technological equipment and Spirit Race weapons she helped gather.

In her view, the Underworld King is definitely the core or even the controller of some large power — only such a person would have such a huge demand for Dragon Blood and technological equipment.

Now, the mysterious veil of the Underworld King was finally lifted slightly.

So, Lingfeng Trading Company is your industry?

Katherine chuckled, her eyes filled with amusement.

Previously, she always thought the Underworld King would be some war profiteer or a leader of some armed faction, but she never expected this mysterious figure to also be a magnate in beauty products — the contrast was quite jarring.

But no matter how you look at it, with the identity of the Underworld King revealed, her current problem could be effortlessly resolved.

"Alright, no more idle chatter, I’m off to save people. Wait for us at Royal Star," Katherine threw down a line and then decisively hung up the phone.

"Big sister boss, what’s our next move?" The bald burly man quickly stepped forward, a trace of excitement and coldness flashing in his eyes — with the big sister stepping in personally, the Blood Demon Cult members were doomed.

Katherine moved to the side of the hall’s screen. In just a few breaths, she stepped out in a different outfit: an opulent dark-patterned magic robe highlighting her stunning figure, holding an ebony magic staff set with a crystal-clear Spirit Crystal at its top, her aura turning sharp and dignified, completely different from her previously lazy, alluring demeanor.

"Notify the core members of the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps to assemble and standby."

Katherine’s voice was icy, her gaze as sharp as a blade.

"Yes, big sister boss!" The bald man nodded heavily, a fierce, grim smile flashing in his eyes.

Blood Demon Cult?

Daring to cause trouble on Wind Whisper Star, under the big sister’s nose, how unfortunate for you!
