After the spaceship stabilized, Lu Yuan and Rhein exchanged a glance, and then Rhein began to extract information from Viv.

"Pluto has always been seen as an abandoned planet by outsiders. How did you manage to turn it into a training base?" Rhine asked.

"It was all a coincidence. One day, one of our company's bugs accidentally came to Pluto Star and unexpectedly discovered that the black mist here no longer contained toxic substances. So our company quietly took over the place. Oh, by the way, I'll have to trouble Lord Lu Yuan and Commander Rhine Legion to keep this a secret," Viv said with a smile.

This wasn't exactly a new thing in the Empire, but Rhine didn't believe things were that simple.

"I remember the Empire sent troops to garrison near Pluto, so why are there no female soldiers around now?" Rhine asked.

"Commander Rhine Legion, your information is outdated. The troops stationed near Pluto were withdrawn several years ago. If there really were troops nearby, how could our company have been so bold as to secretly occupy Pluto?" Viv said.

"Withdraw? When did the Empire issue this order?" Rhine asked.

"I don't remember. How would we little people know about imperial matters? Anyway, there were no troops around when we arrived," Viv said.

Rhein narrowed his eyes.

Because of his own needs, Rhine paid close attention to the orders regarding the mobilization of the Imperial Army.

Moreover, he had a very good memory, and he was quite certain that he had not seen any imperial order for the troops near Pluto to withdraw.

There are two possibilities: either the command was sent, but he doesn't have the necessary permissions to see it.

However, given Rhein's current level, he is qualified to know and view all kinds of instructions, except for some top-secret ones.

The withdrawal of troops from Pluto, an abandoned planet, was clearly not a top-secret order.

Another, more outlandish possibility is that Viv is lying. In reality, the Empire did not issue any orders, and the army did not withdraw, but the army was wiped out by the Netherlands Corporation, which wanted to occupy Pluto.

But let's set aside whether the Netherlands Company has the capability to wipe out the Imperial regular army.

Even if there were, the empire couldn't possibly remain completely unresponsive to the disappearance of a garrisoned army.

If the Netherlands Company really dared to do something so crazy, the Empire would definitely send a large number of troops to wipe it out, no matter what kind of scoundrels were protecting it.

But right now, the Netherlands Company is clearly doing perfectly fine.

After much thought, Rhine considered another possibility: the troops stationed near Pluto had indeed withdrawn, but without receiving official orders.

However, the Empire currently only has two insects capable of directly and verbally transferring troops: the Insect King and the Insect Queen.

Even Rhine broke out in a cold sweat after considering this possibility.

Therefore, the insect behind the Netherlands Company could be the insect king or queen.

Following this line of thought, if the massive explosion on Pluto was deliberately caused by insects...

It seems that only the two supreme rulers of the empire could have the ability to do such a thing and cover it up so well.

But then Rhine realized something was wrong.

He was now certain that the insects that had been hunting down the Crown Prince on the desolate planet were from the Netherlands Corporation.

But if the insects behind the Netherlands Company are an insect king or queen, why would they send insects to hunt down the crown prince? That doesn't make sense.

But if the insects behind the Netherlands Company weren't the Insect King or Queen, Rhine couldn't think of anyone else in the Empire who could quietly move a garrisoned army away.

Rhine fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Rhine had stopped asking questions, Lu Yuan asked the question he had been wanting to ask ever since he learned that the Netherlands Company was actually an assassin company.

"What exactly did you make those children you took from the orphanage do?"

Viv gave Lu Yuan a strange look, and then said.

"I thought you already understood this matter, so why ask so clearly?"

Lu Yuan clenched his fists, suppressing his anger as he spoke.

"You guys are fooling a bunch of kids, how could you do something like that?"

"Your Excellency Lu Yuan, please don't make it sound like we're doing something wrong."

"Isn't that right?"

"Of course not. In my opinion, our company has given those kids a great opportunity. With their backgrounds, they would have been stuck at the bottom of society, living mediocre lives. But with our company, they have the chance to climb to heights they never dared to dream of before."

These words nearly enraged Lu Yuan. He was about to retort when his hand was held down.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw Rhein silently shaking his head at him.

Seeing Rhine stop him, Lu Yuan could only shut his mouth in resentment, and the spaceship fell into silence.

Before long, the spaceship docked at the port of Pluto.

As soon as Lu Yuan and Rhein stepped out of the spaceship, they saw the testing equipment and a row of Netherland Corporation insects.

Viv walked over and said, "For safety reasons, please cooperate with us for a check to make sure you haven't brought anything you shouldn't have."

Hearing Viv's words, Lu Yuan felt a pang of anxiety. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to bring the equipment he had painstakingly prepared, but he felt really unsafe going to Pluto Star without it.

Rhein, on the other hand, felt relieved. The Dutch company's bugs were certainly aware that they would prepare weapons and equipment.

If the Dutch company's insects really don't investigate anything and just let them go up, Rhine will have to worry about what kind of big move Pluto has in store for them.

The fact that they're investigating now actually puts Rhein at ease.

However, Rheinland would certainly not hand over the weapons and equipment, so Rheinland and Vive engaged in another fierce battle, and even knocked down all the Dutch company bugs on site as a deterrent.

Finally, Viv had to run to the side and make a phone call with a very unpleasant expression. When he came back, Viv no longer insisted that Lu Yuan and Rhine undergo examinations, but he looked at Lu Yuan and Rhine with very unfriendly eyes.

Rhein ignored Viv and led Lu Yuan forward.

Neither Lu Yuan nor Rhein noticed that after they walked away, Viv looked at their backs and gave them a very strange smile.
