Chapter 53 Target: Refinery
Wick contacted Delton via the data pad and asked his superior to make the decision.

To the surprise of Li Nuo and the others, Delton was very calm when he learned about the "treasure house".

The other party's next words made the two realize that they were worrying too much.

Lord Vorges already knew about the "treasure trove", and so did Delton.

The news came from Rob Nos, who was arrested more than 20 days ago.

This guy had met the father of the Mihe Church and had even visited the entrance of the "treasure house" accompanied by the other party, so he would pay homage to the father.

As for whether the "treasure trove" will attract the oil man, the Governor's agents don't need to worry about it.

Our Governor has long protected the "treasure house" in the name of "his own ancestral tomb" to prevent it from being taken away by the oil men.

The Governor's discussion with Mars took place while Li Nuo was in a coma.

It was precisely because of the consensus reached with Mars and the successful prevention of Mars' intervention that the Governor called on the Shangchao nobles to launch a hunting campaign to help him wipe out the Mihe Sect that invaded the "ancestral tomb".

In short, it was a false alarm.

Li Nuo and Wick breathed a sigh of relief.

Delton said in the communication channel:
"You two have done well, but now is not the time to rest. I will have Father Tutkari send a servitor to drive away the steam locomotive. I want you to reach the Mauros family's promethium refinery within the hour. The others will meet you there."

Wick's eyes flickered as he asked, "Sir, did the other teams make any significant discoveries?"

"Yes. Today, Tarenso found unusual records in the archives of the Water Guild, which were related to the Mauros family's promethium refinery. Three days ago, Levi and Cadotte found clues related to the Mauros family during their undercover visit to the underground market. The clues found by your three teams intersect with the Mauros family. This should not be a coincidence."

Delton paused and said in a deep voice:
"The Godfather of Healing that we are looking for is most likely hiding in the refinery. Currently, there is only one target person, his name is Princeton, and he joined the refinery half a year ago..."

Delton recounted the clues discovered by the other two groups.

Princeton was a middle-aged man, short and fat, with a round belly and a bald head.

This person has some background in the ruins area and has close ties with the gangs there.

Gangs in the ruins area regularly organize manpower to explore the seventh district refinery buried by sand and recover equipment and supplies from the ruins.

Princeton negotiated with the gang and purchased their equipment and supplies.

After a transaction lasting half a year, the refinery in the eighth district had an additional plant, and the average daily output of the entire plant increased by about 15%. In addition, the production cost of the new plant was less than 80% of that of the old plant.

The Mauros family had high praise for Princeton.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person will be promoted to Zhongchao within two years and run another larger refinery.

Halfway through the conversation, there was a noise coming from Delton's direction.

There seemed to be a heated debate going on around him.

After moving away from the source of the noise, Delton continued:

"The Governor is currently discussing the investigation of Princeton with the Mauros family. I hope that you will take action immediately after obtaining the warrant and bring Princeton back to me. I will explain the specific plan arrangements in a meeting after you have gathered."

"As you command, sir."

Li Nuo and Wick responded in unison, and the two sides ended the communication.

Wick took out a cigarette, lit it, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and sighed:
"Things become complicated and subtle once the Shangchao nobles are involved, not to mention that the Mauros family is involved this time. We must be careful when we act, so as not to be caught by the Mauros family, and not to discredit the governor." "Yes, you are right."

As the old saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first.

The Mauros family is the top of the aristocratic group, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the pillars of the hive city.

In the hive, the Promethium Guild is responsible for the mining, transportation, storage, sale and use of Promethium.

From small things like promethium lamps and promethium gas pipes in homes to large things like gas boilers in factories and promethium mines buried underground, all are under the management of the Promethium Guild.

The Mauros family is a well-known Promethium giant in this hive city, holding two-thirds of the seats in the Promethium Guild.

It is equivalent to the oil tycoon in the world before Li Nuo traveled through time, and it is a super giant that owns most of the world's oil reserves.

In addition, don’t forget that the promethium industry is an asset-heavy and labor-intensive industry.

In a worst-case scenario, the Father hiding in the refinery might try to resist the agents' investigation by sabotaging production facilities or taking workers hostage.

If a major explosion occurs in the refinery, half of District 8 will be reduced to a sea of fire.

Just thinking about this scene is enough to make people shudder.

The reason why the Reconciliation Cult was able to occupy most of the territory in the Bottom Nest was because of the Pseudo-Descendants brand suicide truck.

For the sake of the Governor's reputation and the well-being of the residents of the Lower Nest, the agents must be cautious, remain efficient, and not give the father a chance to act desperately.

Li Nuo and the other man waited for a moment, and a group of law enforcers armed with live ammunition escorted the robot servants to the scene.

The Tall Boots Tavern has been blocked by law enforcement officers, and the robot servant walks through the lobby of the tavern and reaches the underground railroad through the back door.

Floating beside the servitor was the servo-skull of Father Tutkari.

The skull circled around the front of the car, emitting a red light curtain to scan the condition of the car.

Waves of electronic synthesized voices came out from it. It was Father Tutkari speaking through the sound array device:

“New archive///New data unit//Scan/record suspected ancient relics.

“Identified as a crude handmade product///Wrong//Negating the previous judgment///Correcting the identification result.

"///Holy mechanical parts detected//Plastic steel mends the body/Sparks flow from the sacred pipes/Foolish mortals defile the pure joints of the Om Messiah with crude creations///Identified as blasphemy! Blasphemy! Blasphemy!"

The voice in the skull suddenly became furious, startling the surrounding law enforcers.

It goes without saying that the Water-Sucking Gang's repairs to the steam locomotive angered Father Tutkari.

The gang members' repair techniques were too crude and the materials they used were not up to standard, which was completely unworthy of the ancient parts on the front of the car.

This is just like when the golden statue of a Rolls-Royce was stolen and the repairman wrapped the base of the statue with rusty iron sheets. Any car lover would go crazy when seeing such a scene.

Li Nuo and Wick looked at each other, wisely chose to give up the venue and quickly ran away.

Let the robot servants and law enforcers deal with the car heads and contraband.

By the way, as for the unconscious gangster, the law enforcers will "treat" him well, so the agents don't have to worry about him.
