From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 162: Conspiring Loudly

The door to the study room was pushed open.

Several figures in the shape of guards remained outside the study.

Two relatively exquisitely dressed men walked straight into the study.

However, since Amber remained invisible, she also did not touch anything in the room.

Therefore, these two men did not realize that not only did an uninvited guest come into the room, but the uninvited guest also stayed there.

At this time, Amber was standing behind the desk, not far from the window.

This way, if something goes wrong, you can run out of the building as quickly as possible.

And he was also communicating silently with Lilith.

"Lilith, how far has this manor been invaded?"

"Master, because the information exchange between devices with data links is very convenient, most intelligent electronic devices have been invaded, and electronic warfare viruses have been implanted in the command room and substation room according to your instructions. In case of emergency, it will be activated immediately according to your instructions.”

"Very well, thank you, Lilith."

"You're welcome, Master, this is what people should do~"

Lilith's voice in Amber's mind seemed a little happy. As long as Amber praised her or affirmed her work, the artificial intelligence would become very happy.

"Lilith, I have a question. I have always wanted to ask you. After completing the optimization iteration, to what extent have you evolved now? Quantum life?"

"People don't know yet. Thinking about this kind of problem requires relatively high computing power. We may have to wait until the server array is expanded before thinking about it~"

"Okay, let me get down to business first."

This method of communicating consciousness directly in the brain is much faster than normal chatting.

The above conversation happened just a moment after the two men entered the door.

The one who walked in front sat directly on a sofa near the window, crossed his arms on his knees and remained silent.

He was wearing a black uniform, and the bronzing emblem Amber printed on his chest looked familiar. It was the symbol of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Judging from the golden patterns on his cuffs and collar, he should be a member of the highest leadership of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Don't tell me this is the minister."

Amber looked at the other man following him. This man sat on the chair behind the desk, then took a sip of the hot tea on the table.

It seems that this person was in this room before.

What he was wearing was the common aristocratic clothing in the Star Dragon Empire, and the coat of arms on it was indeed the coat of arms of the Irons family.

But this man was not Isabel's father, at least not the one Amber saw in the photo.

In appearance, he looks younger.

"Have you thought about how to tell our finance minister?"

The man in black sitting on the sofa spoke first and broke the silence of the room. Amber immediately cheered up and prepared to eat.

"Shouldn't you be the first to speak on this matter, Minister Balot?"

The man at the desk calmly blew into the black tea. Behind him, Amber's eyes couldn't help but twitch. This man in black seemed to be the minister of the Empire's Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Humph, Mr. Billwater, you are so quick to act like the head of the family? Don't forget that your eldest brother is not dead yet. He is just staying in the master bedroom. You are not the real head of the family yet."

"So what if you're not dead? Anyway, the charges have been laid out and it's in your hands. Isn't it a matter of time whether you die or not?"

The man at the desk said nonchalantly, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

"You are quite open-minded. After this matter is over, are you really not afraid that people from the Princess Party will kill defectors like you?" The man in black continued to ask.

"There is an old saying that says, 'He who knows the current affairs is a wise man,' and another saying says, 'A good bird chooses the wood to roost in.' The Princess Party is now in decline. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Regent will win the final victory. I am just here. It’s just the icing on the cake before victory comes.”

As soon as the conversation between the two people came out, Amber, who was standing in front of the window, felt like she had eaten something shocking.

Now, the identities of the two people in the room are clear.

The man in black is probably the current minister of the Empire's Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the aristocratic-looking man at the desk is the younger brother of Isabel's father.

This incident seems to be led by these two people.

The younger brother stabbed his older brother in the back, using this as a form of surrender to jump ship to the Regent's camp and gain the title of patriarch of the Irons family.

The Minister of Finance, Isabel's uncle, came here to meet with the two for various reasons.

According to Amber's guess, the safety of the Irons family, especially Isabel's mother, should be used to threaten the Chancellor of Finance.

Although I don’t know where these people got the confidence to think that they can use these things to blackmail the Imperial Finance Minister.

But no matter what the outcome, the contemporary patriarch of the Irons family, Isabel's father, basically cannot escape death.

"So this big battle isn't just to lure Isabel back home and wipe out all of their family?"

As soon as Amber had this idea in her mind, Isabel's uncle spoke to shatter his fantasy.

"It's a pity that we didn't have time to bring Isabel home this time, otherwise the bargaining chips with our dear finance minister would be heavier. But are you sure my niece didn't die on Robert IV?"

"Humph, she probably didn't die on Robert IV."

Minister Barlot said coldly:

"Based on some tiny clues, we boldly guess that your niece should have escaped from the planet with the defected imperial deep-lying spy at the last minute, and later we also found transaction flows in her private account, and everyone's money was transferred away."

"But the clues are broken here, right? And I believe my niece won't go home so stupidly, and even if she wants to come back, she won't walk into the house openly."

The conversation between the two continued, and Amber also felt that her lurking by mistake had gained too much.

The Empire, especially the Regent Party, had more information than she expected.

At least they didn't easily believe that I and Isabel had died on Robert IV.

Seeing that her current spiritual energy reserves were sufficient, Amber decided to continue listening for a while, so as to learn more about the situation in the empire.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study.

"Minister Barlot, Mr. Jacques is here."

"Please let him in."

The door of the study was immediately opened, and Jacques Cole, the Minister of Finance of the Star Dragon Empire and the holder of the title of "Prosperer", was standing at the door and glaring at the two of them.

"What the hell are you doing? Where is my sister and her family? You must give me an explanation today!"
