288: Murder to silence

After all, the Thug/Criminal knew very well that they all understood how powerful the Supervisory Group was.

If the Supervisory Group knew so many confidential messages, and if he and his people didn't take action, what awaited them would surely be the Empire's severe sanctions.

Especially for Black, as the mastermind, once the truth was exposed, it would definitely be a dead end.

At this moment, large beads of sweat continuously rolled down Black's forehead, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

His brain, like a high-speed machine, was frantically thinking of countermeasures.

However, no matter how much he racked his brain, thinking it over and over, there seemed to be only one dead end before him.

Unless... the Supervisory Group disappeared from this world, perhaps he still had a glimmer of hope.

Black, after a moment of silence, a hint of determination flashed across his face.

He gritted his teeth, slowly stood up, and walked with heavy steps to the starship's control panel.

"Damn it, you forced me to do this..."

Black's voice was low and hoarse, as if squeezed from between his teeth.

At this moment, he had completely fallen into madness, deciding to go all out and simply eliminate the Supervisory Group as the only option, even if it meant becoming an enemy of the entire Empire.

Thinking of this, Black's eyes turned crimson, and he unhesitatingly activated the starship's weapon system.

The starship's energy cannon slowly rotated, aiming at the Galaxy that was already moving away.

Black's hand hovered over the attack button, trembling incessantly.

He knew in his heart that once he pressed this button, there would be no turning back.

But driven by fear and despair, after repeated hesitation, Black steeled his heart, gritted his teeth, and issued the attack command.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, an incomparably thick energy laser shot out from the starship, like an angry fire dragon, fiercely striking towards the Galaxy.

The energy laser accurately hit the Galaxy's surface, instantly triggering a violent explosion.

The entire Galaxy seemed to be brutally crushed by an invisible giant hand, beginning to crack from within, and flames, like the tentacles of a demon, rapidly spread.

In just a few minutes, the entire Galaxy was engulfed by raging flames, turning into a giant fireball, burning solitarily in the vast universe.

As for the Supervisory Group members who were still on it, under this devastating blow, they had no chance to resist, instantly turning into ashes due to the high temperature and explosion, disappearing without a trace.

And Black looked at the burning Galaxy, his expression incredibly complex, with fear, relief, and a hint of confusion about his future fate...

In the spacious, bright, and extremely luxuriously furnished office of the Galactic Administrative Center Department, soft lighting spilled onto the polished floor, reflecting a warm yellow halo.

Li Yang, Coens, and Neil were sitting together, chatting casually and comfortably.

However, this tranquility was broken by a sudden, sharp alert sound in his mind.

The smart-brain in Li Yang's mind kept beeping "Di... Di..." while clearly broadcasting:

"Di... Ou Ben is requesting an emergency call!"

"Emergency call?"

Li Yang frowned slightly, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

"Could it be that something serious has happened in This Galaxy Cluster?"

Li Yang pondered to himself, knowing that Ou Ben would never make an emergency call unless he encountered an extremely urgent situation.

Realizing the urgency of the matter, Li Yang did not hesitate at all and quickly accepted the call.

"Chairman Ou..."

Li Yang's expression was grave, and he asked urgently,

"Is something wrong with This Galaxy Cluster?"

"Inspector Li, something big has happened!"

Ou Ben's voice trembled slightly due to anxiety.

"A Supervisory Group sent out by our supervisory department has completely lost contact!"

Ou Ben paused, took a deep breath, and continued,

"Now we are fully investigating the last uploaded information from their smart-brains, hoping to find some clues from it."

"What? All lost contact!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang's face instantly filled with shock.

He subconsciously sprang up from the soft sofa, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.

A Supervisory Group going missing was no small matter; it likely involved the covert activities of criminal forces.

Seeing this, Coens and Neil keenly sensed the seriousness of the situation and quickly stood up as well.

They stared intently at Li Yang, whose face was filled with shock and surprise, his eyes revealing deep worry.

Both of them immediately understood that something extremely significant and difficult must have happened.

"I'm going back immediately!"

Li Yang's voice was firm and urgent, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, he unhesitatingly ended the call with Ou Ben.

"Did something happen?"

Seeing Li Yang end the call, Coens and Neil immediately stepped forward, asking eagerly.

Their eyes were full of concern and worry, knowing that anything that could make Li Yang look so serious was certainly no ordinary matter.

Li Yang's face grew even heavier, as if an invisible giant stone was weighing on his heart, making him feel incredibly oppressed.

He spoke slowly, his tone low and serious.

"One of our Supervisory Groups has lost contact, and it's very likely they've met with misfortune.

I must go back and deal with this immediately."

Li Yang's eyes revealed a hint of anger.

Within the Empire, with official citizens equipped with smart-brains, it was almost impossible to completely cut off contact with the outside world.

Unless these Supervisory Group members had encountered extremely severe changes, losing their ability to act, or even facing life-threatening danger, or perhaps being imprisoned in a specially designed space capable of shielding smart-brain signals.

But no matter the situation, this was undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the Empire's authority, an act of extreme wickedness!

And when they heard Li Yang say this, Coens and Neil were equally greatly shocked.

Their eyes widened, and their faces were filled with disbelief.

What kind of force dared to be so audacious within the Empire, openly targeting a Supervisory Group entrusted with important missions?

It was well known that the previous group of Thugs/Criminals who murdered officials had already caused a huge uproar and were wanted throughout the Empire.

This time, the act of targeting the Supervisory Group was even more heinous than the last.

This not only seriously threatened the Empire's safety and stability but was also a blatant trampling of the Empire's laws and order...
