1426 How Could I Have Known?

Legend has it that there were seven organizers in the Mecha Scavenger Organization . However, those who worked under them never fully met with all seven of these big wigs .

Still, the highest tower at the center of where the organization was situated would always have one of the organizers garrisoned there .

The equipment and set up of the atrium in the first floor of the plaza gave Ling Lan the feeling she had returned back to the Federation .

Technologically advanced optical supercomputers were lined up on both sides of the atrium for scavenger members to look up information . One of the walls displayed mecha materials and part and how much they were worth . These supercomputers facilitated the scavengers to choose the missions they could handle . This method was not so different from the mercenary centers in the center of the galaxy .

“That’s interesting . ” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows . In the next second, she had already disappeared from the crowd .

The people around her seemed to not have noticed there was a person beside them just then .

The top of the tower was quite empty . Other than a set of elegant sofas, there weren’t anything else .

With glass walls on all sides, sitting on the sofas would allow the person to monitor the plaza below them .

At that moment, there was a mature and handsome middle-aged man sitting there, holding a glass of red wine while slowly sipping from it .

Suddenly, he stopped sipping his wine . He let out a deep sigh as he slowly put down his wine glass . A look of regret fell upon his eyes . It was as though he felt it was unfortunate that his peaceful afternoon was gone just like that .

“Since you’ve come, you might as well come out,” said the middle-aged man .

Right as he finished, a silhouette appeared behind him . It was indeed Ling Lan .

The middle-aged man turned his head with no surprised expression on his face . After seeing Ling Lan, he scanned her from head to toe before saying, “I didn’t expect you to be this young . ”

He could completely see through how young Ling Lan was . Even if his scene before him was deceiving him, the young and fresh aura she gave off was enough to prove that her strong life force and liveliness .

“I didn’t expect you to be this old,” said Ling Lan nonchalantly . She didn’t care whether it would offend the middle-aged man .

The middle-aged man’s expression hardened . To punish Ling Lan’s disrespect, he sent a hidden force towards Ling Lan .

However, when this hidden force was a meter away from Ling Lan, it silently dissipated . It was as though the middle-aged man hadn’t attacked .

The middle-aged man’s expression froze slightly . “No wonder you’re so bold to have come here by yourself . ”

“I’m indeed quite curious how you are able to establish such a large organization right under the 13 Lords’ noses . ” It was though Ling Lan had returned home . She slowly walked to the sofas and casually sat in one of the sofas in front of the middle-aged man .

The middle-aged man smiled . “We are only a few poor bastards trying to make a living and feed our families . You think the 13 Lords will care about low-class people like us?”

“If it was elsewhere, they indeed wouldn’t care . However, in Kamoda, you people are taking the profits of the 13 Lords . ” Ling Lan half-smiled . “The stuff you are scavenging up are the 13 Lords’ wealth . ”

The middle-aged man didn’t stop smiling, but his eyes narrowed slightly and a flash of killing intent showed within them .

“Who are you?” said the middle-aged man coldly as his smile actually cracked .

“Who are you?” Ling Lan answered with a question .

The middle-aged glared at Ling Lan coldly and didn’t answer . The atmosphere around them got tense .

Shing! Suddenly, a sharp sword appeared out of thin air and it ruthlessly sliced towards Ling Lan .

However, right as it was about to hit Ling Lan, the sword suddenly burst into ash . Ling Lan on the other hand was still sitting calmly on the sofa watching him indifferently like a king when watching a jester .

“Who are you realy?” The middle-aged man had a slightly worried expression on his face .

“What should I call you by? Should I call you Lord Dui, or the master of the Mecha Scavenger Organization?” Ling Lan’s words suddenly intruded upon his largest secret . He instinctively made an attack .

The middle-aged man suddenly vanished from the sofa . Soon after, a huge axe appeared above her head . It chopped towards Ling Lan with much force as if it was trying to split apart the universe .

Boom! The axe was met with a tough ice shield .

The ice shield on top of Ling Lan’s head stopped the axe from moving any further .

The clash between the two domains caused energy shockwaves . Just as the glass around them was about to shatter, the trembling domain concept energies suddenly dissipated into the air . The top of the tower was just as peaceful as it was before .

The axe sensed that it couldn’t move any further and suddenly retracted itself . In the next second, the middle-aged man who had originally vanished, appeared once again . This time, he was standing below the large axe .

He put his hand upward and clasped it . The axe then automatically returned in his hand .

“Ice element . I know who you are . ” The middle-aged man had a smile on his face after finally finding out the identity of his opponent . “You’re the new Lord Gen, Lan Xiao . ”

“Well, now that we know who each of our identities are, I will get straight to the point . Where’s my people?” asked Ling Lan calmly .

“How should I know?” said Lord Dui with a smile on his face . “Your opponents are Lords Li and Demon, not me . ”

“This so-called battle royale… Do I look like someone that can be that easily fooled?” Ling Lan said plainly . “The master of the Mecha Scavenger Organization really knows how to calculate everything . ”

Lord Dui smiled . “Kamoda’s citizens are quite pitiful . Since the battle was started by us, then we have this responsibility to resolve this issue . ”

“Perhaps I should speak with Lord Holy and the others,” Ling Lan looked at Lord Dui with a half-smile on her face . “I’m sure they’d be interested in knowing about the Mecha Scavenger Organization . ”

Lord Dui smiled and said, “Sure, however, be careful not to get killed by us . Some of us may not have such a good temper like me . ”

Those words implied that this organization was actually created by the 13 Lords .

“I just so happen to have people at Lord Holy’s place doing some business . I should listen to Lord Dui’s suggestion and notify my people to tell Lord Holy about this . ” Ling Lan took out a communicator . When she was about to push down on a button, Lord Dui made a move once again .

Bang! Not sure from when, but an ice sword appeared in Ling Lan’s hand to block the sudden wide axe swing from Lord Dui .

“So, Lord Dui actually doesn’t want Lord Holy to know about this,” Ling Lan said mockingly with a smirk on her face while looking at Lord Dui .

“What do you want?” Lord Dui looked at Ling Lan with a defeated look on his face as he spoke in an angry tone .

Ling Lan’s expression suddenly turned ice cold and said the words one by one, “Where, are, my, people?”

“Haha, who knows? Maybe they were ambushed or… all died . ” Lord Dui had a mocking smile on his face . “You really thought that we would let someone who doesn’t know about the Lawless Lands to be one of the Lords? You’re dreaming . ”

Shoo! A cold flash of wind blew across his face . Lord Dui felt a strong force on his hands and was pushed back uncontrollably by the force .

Just what type of person was Lord Dui? He landed firmly on the ground by putting a single ton of weight on himself .

Bang! Before he could fully regain his balance, Lord Dui’s expression changed slightly . He hurriedly put up his large axe to use it as a shield to block Ling Lan’s follow up attack .
