In battle, they only need to trust the firepower before them and the brilliance of the captain's [Protection] power.

Moments later, except for a few people covered in golden light, everything in the corridor was torn apart and swallowed up by the fierce concentrated fire.

Even a body modified with reinforced steel cannot withstand such saturation of bombardment.

Right now, apart from the few leaders and hostages standing at the front, the rest of the Black Sand members have turned into smoking wreckage scattered all over the ground.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and looked at the Black Sand leader who was still in a daze.

With a twist and a pull, he forcefully removed one of the other party's mechanical arms.

He then kicked him in the back of the knee, and the Black Sand leader groaned and knelt down.

"Why are they all cyborgs..."

Lin Yuan frowned and waved to the Marines.

"Recover all the wreckage and see if we can extract any useful information. Send another team to clear the entire ship and eliminate the remaining targets."

"Yes!"

Watching the Marines take action, Lin Yuan walked over to the two hostages lying on the ground and slowly squatted down.

"Did they just say you were some big shots from the Interstellar Peace Corporation?"

The two had just experienced a sudden battle, and their faces were somewhat pale.

Just as the disheveled girl was about to speak, she heard Dolph start yelling, as if he wanted to vent his fear.

"Why did you guys take so long to get here? Do you know how dangerous that was? If anything had happened to Angela, could you have taken responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, the friendly expression on Lin Yuan's face vanished.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that Lin Yuan's expression was not good, the blonde girl ignored Dolph beside her and spoke in a steady voice.

"Hello, I am Angela Dylans."

Despite experiencing so much in such a short time, she still managed to maintain her composure.

"These people are trying to kidnap me to threaten my grandfather. My grandfather works in the Business Consolidation Department..."

"Stop." Lin Yuan interrupted her directly.

"Who your grandfather is is none of my business. The Business Consolidation Department has no jurisdiction over our Market Development Department."

He turned his gaze to Dolph, his tone turning cold.

"All I want to know right now is, who is this guy, so arrogant? Is his grandmother perhaps our Market Development Department's Minister, Serena?"

Angela was taken aback when Lin Yuan interrupted her, then shook her head.

"No, he's not with the company. Just now... he was the one who brought those people to me."

"Tsk, so it turns out there's still one Black Sands accomplice left here."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked back at Daofu.

A chill ran down the young man's spine; he had an ominous premonition.

"I am the successor of Tianyuan Company. We also have a lot of business cooperation with the company's market development department. What do you want to do?"

Seeing Lin Yuan stand up, Daofu's knees went weak again.

Before he could say anything, a hand rapidly enlarged in his pupils.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out clearly. Dolph was sent flying sideways, crashing into the other side of the corridor.

"you......."

Angela's expression changed slightly, and her gaze towards Lin Yuan became more complicated.

"Could you help me contact my family? Have them come pick me up," she asked softly.

"We'll see."

Lin Yuan remained noncommittal.

.......

"Her identity has been verified; she is indeed the daughter of the Dylans family. Her grandfather is a deputy director in the Tver Business Consolidation Department, the kind of person who works at the Sith headquarters."

Xiang Yu confirmed.

"What a coincidence... I could just pick any target and run into this." Lin Yuan rubbed his temples.

"Captain Lin, should we help her contact her family?" Captain Ford asked.

"Tsk, troublesome." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment.

"This operation must not only be kept secret from the Mutual Aid Society, but also from the company itself. But this ship has been attacked... the Dylans family will soon notice, and we can't hide for long."

He paused, an idea flashing through his mind.

"But it's not all bad. This favor might earn us a vote of support from that deputy minister on the committee. It's just that we need to act faster."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan gave instructions to the others.

"Bronson, get the Marines to finish cleaning as soon as possible. All ships will be guarded and escorted by our people. No information is allowed to leak out before the order is given."

Xiang Yu, immediately integrate all intelligence and assess the gains. Also, extract the prosthetic bodies and data memories of those modified humans directly; don't worry about whether they're alive or dead.

Everyone obeyed the orders, while Lin Yuan returned to his cabin.

.......

"No wonder they're mercenaries, they're really well-off."

Several system hours later, Lin Yuan received another unexpected windfall.

This time, he successfully raised his tracking level to 9, just one step away from level 10.

Lin Yuan felt the burning purple-gold light sphere within his body and could clearly sense that it was nurturing something.

What happens after reaching the maximum level?

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

He immediately went to the conference room. Time was of the essence; a new plan had to be formulated at once.

"Captain, it seems your aura has grown even stronger since I last saw you?"

Seeing Lin Yuan enter, Xiang Yu greeted him with a smile.

"Stop being so cheeky, I think you're really looking to improve yourself. Seeing how happy you are, have you found a clue?"

“Of course.” Xiang Yu’s eyes lit up.

"We've found the headquarters of the mutual aid society."

"what?"

Lin Yuan's expression hardened; this was indeed a major piece of news.

"But we can't go directly there."

"?"

Seeing Lin Yuan's expression froze, Xiang Yu explained.

"That's right. Through data mining on the warships, I discovered that as overt mercenaries, they actually had very little direct contact with the mutual aid society."

But from the core of their leader's cyborg mind, I extracted a crucial piece of information.

The mutual aid society has a headquarters, but it's not a fixed location; rather, it's a periodically moving space fortress.

"So that explains why I couldn't find their information."

Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

How do I lock the coordinates?

“I’ve figured that out.” Xiang Yu raised the corners of his mouth.

"The Mutual Aid Society keeps its headquarters location extremely secret, but since it exists, someone has to go there. Some members with special identities carry a kind of 'beacon' that can locate the fortress's real-time coordinates."

To ensure security, activating the beacon requires three keys, and each member of the mutual aid society uses a dynamic set of keys for authentication.

He paused, then his smile deepened:

"Coincidentally, we now... have two keys."

"So, as long as we catch the third person holding the key, we can activate the beacon and strike at the heart of the enemy?"

"Yes."

"Then what are we waiting for? He should know the list of beacon holders, right?"

“If we hadn’t used some ‘extraordinary means,’ we really wouldn’t have been able to dig up this information.”

Xiang Yu nodded, his expression somewhat strange.

"Perhaps it really is a coincidence, but the beacon's owner is right here..."

"Thousand Star City".

.........

Chapter 107 Cooperation

"Have you found any useful information about the modules on those modified people?"

"The items are all of excellent quality, and without exception they are produced by major powers, but the serial numbers on them have been erased, so I cannot trace their origins using the available resources."

Xiang Yu said with a frown.

“It’s okay, just take a picture with the equipment and I’ll send it to headquarters so they can find it.”

........

"Minister, did I disturb your rest?"

Through the video, Lin Yuan noticed that Minister Spiel on the other side was clearly somewhat tired.
