161: Major malicious incidents

“Forget it. This is the teacher's own business, so let's not worry about it. Everyone has their own work to do, so let's just stick to our duties. You all carry on, I'm heading back to the research lab.”

After a moment of thought, Wang Gang waved his hand, giving up on further investigation. After all, his research was at a critical stage and couldn't be delayed.

With that, he turned and hurried towards the research lab, eager to return to his familiar experimental environment and continue his unfinished research project.

Hearing Wang Gang's words, Su Xia and A Zhi exchanged a look, shrugged helplessly, and went back to their own tasks.

“A Zhi, remember to give me the personnel list, position configurations, and recent training reports from your fleet later,” Su Xia instructed A Zhi as she turned away.

“Why?” A Zhi looked at Su Xia in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly needed these things.

“Didn't you hear what the teacher just said? From now on, I'm the team leader, which means I'm your boss! Just do what your boss tells you to do.”

Su Xia lifted her chin slightly, saying proudly, her expression as if she had already become the key figure in control of the situation.

“Damn it…” A Zhi couldn't help but mutter under his breath, feeling a bit annoyed.

After all, they were usually equals, and Su Xia suddenly putting on this “boss” act was a bit hard for him to accept.

But he also knew that if Teacher Li Yang returned and Su Xia tattled on him, he would be in big trouble.

Weighing the pros and cons, he could only choose to obey.

“Alright, I’ll send them to you later,” A Zhi sighed helplessly and replied.

Meanwhile, Li Yang had already boarded his star destroyer.

Accompanied by the hum of the starship's equipment starting up, the star destroyer slowly adjusted its direction, preparing to embark on its journey back to the Milky Way Galaxy… Inside the Speaker of the Galaxy Council’s office in the Galactic Administrative Center Department, soft light illuminated Coens' troubled face.

He sat there, a look of melancholy on his face, in a large chair, staring blankly out at the vast, boundless star-filled sky, his eyes revealing deep worry.

“Damn it, why did our Milky Way Galaxy have to get stuck with such a thorny issue!” Coens couldn't help but curse under his breath, his tone filled with frustration and helplessness.

Just a short while ago, a message from the Imperial Guard Division Headquarters had hit him like a bombshell, creating a huge stir in his peaceful work.

A group of audacious Imperial Criminals, wanted for the murder of an Imperial Official, had been intercepted during their transport.

And that wasn't all; according to the latest intelligence, that group of desperadoes was currently fleeing within the confines of their Milky Way Galaxy.

Furthermore, the intelligence detailed that the armed forces possessed by these wanted criminals were terrifying, as they were equipped with at least three super galaxy-class starships and one galaxy-class starship.

It should be known that galaxy-class starships are a symbol of fifth-level civilization strength. In the entire Milky Way Galaxy, apart from the Galaxy Guard Division stationed in the Milky Way, which is equipped with galaxy-class starships to maintain order, none of its subordinate Galaxies possess a single starship that can rival it.

In other words, this group of ruthless wanted criminals, within the entire Milky Way Galaxy, could practically run rampant everywhere except the Galactic Administrative Center Department. Wherever they went, they were an unstoppable force, killing gods and Buddhas alike.

If they were to run wild in the Milky Way Galaxy, committing arson, murder, and looting, then his position as Speaker of the Galaxy Council would likely be in jeopardy.

“How much longer until the support sent by the higher-ups arrives?” Coens was anxious and quickly turned to ask his secretary, who stood nearby, his eyes full of anticipation.

“Reporting, Speaker of the Galaxy Council, due to the special circumstances and complex and volatile situation, word from above is that it will take at least three more days for the support forces to arrive in our Milky Way Galaxy,” the secretary replied respectfully, a hint of worry in his voice.

“Three days…” Coens murmured, his brow furrowing even deeper, a slight twitch in the muscles of his face.

“That’s still good. I just hope that in these three days, those deranged Thugs/Criminals will stay hidden and not cause any irreversible major incidents.”

With that, he wearily closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, silently praying that the situation would not worsen.

At the same time, on an unknown planet somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy, seven or eight starships of various designs floated silently on the shimmering sea.

These starships resembled giant beasts from the deep sea, exuding a chilling aura.

“Boss, what should we do next?” Inside the Command Room of the largest starship, a subordinate wearing heavy battle armor stood respectfully before an Octopus Person still clad in an Imperial prison uniform, asking cautiously.

“Hoo~” The Octopus Person slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke with a strong nicotine smell, skillfully rolled a cigarette with a tentacle, took another deep drag, and then slowly said,

“Let’s stay on this planet for a while. Hiding here, those guys from the Empire shouldn’t find us so easily.”

The reason they chose to park their starships on the planet's surface rather than in the atmosphere was also the result of careful consideration.

After all, compared to the sky, the ground is less likely to be discovered.

It's not as if the Imperial search forces could meticulously search every single planet, one by one.

As long as they were careful and cautious, they should be able to temporarily evade the Empire's pursuit… A dazzling light pierced the darkness as Li Yang's star destroyer, after a hyperspace jump, precisely appeared in the exclusive docking area of the Galactic Administrative Center Department.

As the starship slowly stabilized, the hatch slowly opened, and Li Yang stepped out with steady strides.

As soon as he set foot on solid ground, Li Yang keenly noticed two familiar figures rushing towards him from not far away.
