The dense cluster of small defensive forts outside Minter City made Yang Ming's scalp tingle slightly.

Clearly, the New Federation was fully prepared for a decisive battle with the Imperial Expeditionary Corps at their capital.

As the transport ship he was on approached Minter City, Yang Ming could feel the hostility coming from all directions. This hostility became more overt and intense when they entered the military port, emanating from the soldiers' fighting spirit.

Yang Ming did not do much; he just brought his eight Combat Maids and followed behind the delegation. During the brief meeting, he stayed in the corner, silent.

Regarding the renowned White Ghost, the New Federation also decided not to give him any screen time or exposure, as if he were invisible.

Matters of politics were easily handled by the Imperial officials who accompanied Yang Ming.

They were among the main leaders of various Imperial departments, capable and unfazed by challenges, and naturally showed no courtesy in the quasi-defeated country.

The verbal exchanges on both sides were relentless, which Yang Ming found immensely entertaining.

However, Yang Ming's interests were clearly elsewhere.

During the meeting at the Space Port, Yang Ming was secretly observing the dozen or so officials and generals sent by the New Federation, looking for any flaws.

The result, of course, was fruitless.

If a Pioneer wants to hide, it's incredibly easy.

The meeting ended quickly, and a medium-sized transport ship had been waiting to take the Empire's 'Peace Prayer' Investigation Team to the third main district of Minter City Star and drop them at their hotel for rest.

At this point, a small unexpected incident occurred.

"Sir," a middle-aged New Federation general, with a hint of nervousness, reached out to block Yang Ming's path and whispered, "Could you possibly...?"

"Can't I get off?"

With hands tucked in pockets, Yang Ming raised his voice, and Griss, along with a group of unarmed secret force members, immediately rushed over.

Seeing the Empire's side move, the New Federation's security team of bio-modified humans rushed in, and both sides started a standoff, glaring at each other.

"General, I am the leader of this investigation team!"

Yang Ming stated, "What do you mean by blocking my path? Why are you leaving me here!?"

The general quickly replied, "I mean..."

"There's no need to say more!" Griss cursed, "This is an insult to an Imperial hero!"

"No! I meant! Everyone, calm down!"

The general shouted at the top of his lungs:

"I just wanted to say that your eight robot maids cannot enter Minter City! Their internal core batteries have energy density that's too high! This is a clear regulation of ours!"

A group of people turned to look at Da Wa through Ba Wa, who were already rolling up their sleeves.

Yang Ming chuckled, "You could've just said it directly, making it so complicated. Da Wa, take them back to the Empire escort fleet and wait for me there."

"Yes, master."

The eight Combat Maids simultaneously bowed and then turned orderly, heading back toward the Imperial transport ship.

Meanwhile, the already inflamed situation was not easy to put out, as Griss and others exchanged murderous looks with the New Federation's transformed people, filled with tension.

Yang Ming said calmly, "Griss."

"Yes!"

"Withdraw and protect the officials; don't worry about me," Yang Ming said with a gentle smile, "These guys together can't take on even me alone, why bother with them."

Griss gestured, and the members of the secret security force quickly retreated to protect the officials, who gradually passed through security.

The New Federation's bio-modified humans also showed their high quality, indifferent to Yang Ming's disdain and provocation, and returned to their respective posts.

'Couldn't ignite the fire.'

Boss Yang felt a bit regretful about this.

But it's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities later.

A whole Galaxy Time later, Yang Ming and his team arrived at the hotel where they were staying.

The spaceship docked at the air platform, where dozens of luxury brand hovering cars had been waiting for some time, taking the Empire Investigation Team's officials down to the ground level hotel.

Yang Ming looked out the car window at the bustling street, packed from end to end with at least tens of thousands of people.

He sensed hostility again.

However, this hostility was not so obvious.

Moreover, Yang Ming couldn't help but think of another problem... This crowding seemed to have been going on for a long time, these New Federation citizens... wouldn't they urgently need to pee?

If they did, where would they relieve themselves?

Boss Yang seriously sympathized with the urinary systems of the New Federation citizens here.

When getting out of the car, the dozen or so Imperial officials didn't even glance at the protesters, while Yang Ming was quite polite, waving to the people on the street after disembarking.

The crowd across the street remained silent, casting slightly hostile glances at Yang Ming, the overhead flashing projection lights and the placards in their hands bearing anti-war declarations in universal and ancient Imperial languages.

It was as if silence was the main theme of the day.

Silence brewed a repressive atmosphere, causing a slight sigh in Yang Ming's heart.

...

Hiss!

Griss drew open the curtains, glanced below, and muttered, "The crowd hasn't dispersed yet, and they dare to say the security work is thorough? If any one of them suddenly lifts a single-tube energy-gathering bomb launcher, this building would be done for."

Yang Ming loosened his bow tie, making himself more comfortable, and chuckled softly, "Relax, they're more nervous than we are now, afraid something happens to us."
