Chapter 561: Chapter 294 Interrogating Li Ming with Kid Gloves_2

A group of people with varied expressions suddenly someone shouted, "Your Excellency Kuerlei."

Just as Kuerlei was about to leave, he turned his head, and a group of Commanders approached, "I heard that the men of the Luxury Wine Fleet are incredibly fat, weighing around five to six hundred pounds, is that true or false?"

He was the A-Level Life Form assigned by Asimara of the Yitelan direct lineage, robust in stature.

Kuerlei knew what these Commanders were thinking, and replied indifferently with a shake of his head: "Gentlemen, I’m not going to say anything."

A group of Commanders embarrassingly laughed, left filled with disappointment, and Kuerlei watched their retreating figures, thinking about those terrifying numbers on Li Ming.

An inexplicable expression also surfaced on his cold face; he had never imagined that a normal life form’s development potential could be more than double his own.

...

In the interrogation chamber’s side room of the Ring Star Crown Guard, Asimara stood in front of a one-way transparent glass looking at Li Ming, who sat on the inside, with Gabriel standing next to her, and Feder and Prince Bai Jiang behind them.

In the interrogation room, the walls all around were black, made of a special material that absorbed the surrounding light.

Thus, to the naked eye, the black space seemed boundless, and in the quiet space, there was only oneself and the metal table in front.

This kind of environment naturally brings immense psychological pressure, but with [Intelligent Assistance], one could clearly perceive the room’s boundaries.

So, Li Ming was just boredly tapping on the metal table.

Soon, in the black space without bounds, a rectangular light seam appeared, then expanded.

A man and a woman, two Yitelan people, walked in.

The man’s expression was blank, with a square face and deep grooves on both sides of his nose, giving an overwhelming sense of oppression, while the woman wore a soft smile.

They pulled out chairs to sit down, heads lowered, seemingly flipping through various documents, and the room remained silent for over ten minutes.

Li Ming continued to tap slowly, steadily, and rhythmically on the table.

The man and woman exchanged glances, frowning slightly; people of Li Ming’s age generally couldn’t withstand this type of psychological pressure.

Even if he were to curse, he wouldn’t be able to help but speak up.

"Li Ming..." the male interrogator started in a chilling tone, "...human, male, twenty years old, born on the remote planet of Silver Grey Star of the Blue Star Civilization, his father is..."

Li Ming listened indifferently, and seeing his reaction, the male interrogator’s face grew even darker, and he said coldly: "I have a few questions for you now."

"First, how did you meet the Mechanic known as Azure Dragon?"

Li Ming looked helplessly at the wall, "You really sent such a person to interrogate me?"

Bang!

The male interrogator suddenly stood up, his voice harsh: "Don’t think this is a joke, this is war, your life is in danger at any moment!"

Li Ming looked up at him, shook his head and said: "The red marks behind your neck, they must be caused by broken capillaries, who sucked them?"

"What’s interesting is, there are similar marks behind the ears of the beautiful lady beside you..."

Li Ming looked at the male interrogator whose cheeks were turning pale and shook his head: "Princess Asimara, it seems that during wartime, you still allow your subordinates to have romances, that’s really nice."

The male interrogator’s Adam’s apple bobbed, subconsciously glanced at the wall, and as a professional interrogator, all his emotional responses from the time he entered were carefully designed, actually he was unperturbed inside.

But now he was getting a bit flustered, glancing at the ashen-faced woman, he said in a deep voice:

"Hmph, do you think these petty tricks are useful? We came to interrogate because the Yitelan Civilization still has a heart of mercy for you, otherwise there would be a Mind Interrogator to directly search your memories."

"Search my memories?" Li Ming shook his head with a dismissive smile, "You mean, Asimara would search through someone with a development potential of forty-six?"

Forty-six Level Development Potential?

The interrogator’s expression first turned blank, and then he showed an indescribable look.

Because the number was too high, it was beyond his comprehension, making him feel it was unreal.

But on the other side of the one-way lens, there was dead silence; Feder was swallowing saliva nervously, unconsciously asking: "How, how much?"

He didn’t know whom he was asking, and naturally, no one explained to him.

Forty-six Levels?

The number was so unimaginable that Feder had never heard of such a level of development potential.

Doesn’t it mean that this guy is definitely an S-level life form, or perhaps even more formidable?

No wonder he was so brazen; no wonder Asimara’s attitude towards him was so peculiar; this is a freaking treasure.

No wonder Gabriel had that deadpan look; under these circumstances, there is no way he could do anything to Li Ming, and instead, he will have to revere him.

No wonder the Azure Dragon Association allowed him to become their student; only a fool wouldn’t invest in such development potential.

In an instant, Feder felt like all the questions in his mind were answered.

Prince Bai Jiang, who had been silent, subconsciously clenched his fists, his pupils shrank, and his heart felt as if it was being seized, stirring up a towering wave of horror inside him,

He realized instantly that something was amiss.

With a level forty-six development potential, Li Ming’s value was just too immense.

Should Asimara hand Li Ming over to the Star Abyss Empire, it would be a grand merit indeed; Duke Bloodthorn would likely be very pleased.

The Core Relics, plus this Li Ming, Asimara is simply reaching for the skies.

Asimara and Gabriel, on the other hand, had no reaction; they had known about Li Ming’s development potential all along and now seeing such "rampant" behavior, they merely frowned slightly.

"I remember you once tested his development potential, and it was only level sixteen..." Gabriel said gravely.

He was indifferent towards Li Ming, but he still remembered the intimidation from the Azure Dragon last time.

He had hoped to get the Azure Dragon’s origins from Li Ming; he had even planned that if the other party did not cooperate willingly, he would definitely search his memory.

But the revelation of the other party’s development potential truly gave him a fright.

Even Luo Nan was stopping him; this person was too valuable, and since there was no animosity between them, he could certainly be recruited.

Although Luo Nan is his bodyguard, he was appointed by his father, fundamentally placing his father’s interests at the forefront.

Thus, he informed Duke Bloodthorn of Li Ming’s development potential at the first opportunity.

And his father contacted him in the second instant, demanding that he must ensure that this person is brought to him without fail.

"It might be the trickery of his teacher." Asimara shook her head, her eyes flickering, "What did Duke Bloodthorn say?"

"He must be firmly in our grasp." Gabriel spat out a few words,

Gabriel added coldly, "Even if he is unwilling to come over, we must imprint a genetic lock on him, ensuring that if we can’t have him, no one else can."

Feder’s heart skipped a beat; imprinting a genetic lock was tantamount to putting on a leash, forcing Li Ming into submission.

"If it weren’t for the fear that he might get hijacked by the Azure Dragon on the way, my father even considered transporting him away from here immediately."

Asimara’s expression changed, feeling regretful in her heart. Since Duke Bloodthorn had learned of this matter, Li Ming was no longer her concern.

Level forty-six development potential!

She couldn’t help but glance at Gabriel; his attempt to capture Li Ming obviously had mixed in personal hatred towards the Azure Dragon.

Yet unexpectedly, it led to the accidental discovery of Li Ming’s development potential; otherwise, she could have totally concealed the matter.

Listening to their conversation, Feder couldn’t help but privately marvel; a valuable person is welcomed everywhere.

Crack!

The sound of the room’s door being opened, the interrogators subconsciously turned to look, beckoned by someone to step outside.

They packed up their belongings nervously; when finally leaving, they didn’t dare to look at Li Ming.

"Are you prepared to betray your teacher?" Asimara’s voice came, as she and Gabriel walked in,

"If you’re not willing to join us, no matter how great your development potential is, it will be of no value."

"We’ll see, it depends on your offer. As for the Azure Dragon..." Li Ming said with a light smile: "His intentions towards me are impure, and I’ve been upfront with you, I’ve long harbored thoughts of leaving him."

"Then why did you leave Blue Star in the first place?" Asimara pressed with a frown.

"I was young back then..." Li Ming spoke, a look of regret on his face.
