Mobo's gaze became very sharp as he stared at Wang Zheng, "Young man, don't be boastful. You may have a few tricks, but you need to know that an Earth-rank warrior is not undefeatable. Besides, the Earth-rank also looks at experience and real battle ability. There's a ranking as well. We, everyone at the Julian family, are grateful for your help in caring for Piglet, but for the other matters, it's better for you to stay out."
Wang Zheng smiled and was unmoved. The more Mobo insisted, the more it spoke about the terrible state of the Julian family. Under normal circumstances, with the help of an Earth-rank expert, he would definitely be very happy. Suddenly, he felt some respect for this old man. After all, only people who spoke more than just words of praise were good people. The other party most likely did not want him involved in this problem.
"Old man, I know what you are planning. You are thinking that if the Julian family is done for, you want me to take Piglet away from here, am I right?"
Piglet saw that Wang Zheng was not angry and instead suddenly said that. His facial expression also suddenly changed."Grandpa, is Big Brother Wang Zheng right? I'm not leaving, I want revenge!"
Mobo paused and took a deep breath."Young Master, the situation now is indeed dangerous. I have some chance of victory. But not much, this... young brother is honest, reliable. If, if something happens to me, then leave with him. Such a young Earth-rank expert is rare. He can protect you."
"Grandpa." Piglet's eyes turned red again. Actually, the people closest to him in the whole Julian family were not his parents. In such a big family, everyone was busy fighting for power, and there was no family relationship to talk about. Only Grandpa Mobo truly cared about him.
"Don't worry, I will send you guys out even with my last breath, " Mobo said. At this age, he had already seen it all. Their family had yet to lose all control of the spaceport, and he had already prepared the spaceship.
Wang Zheng was not very clear on the real state of Maklou, including the current situation. It would only make him look like a fool if he made big promises. But when he did things, he never gave up until all efforts were exhausted. Since he was here, it was not his style to retreat.
"Mr. Mobo, please take a look. Do I have to remove this thing on my wrist before I can go back?" Wang Zheng stretched out his arm. That bracelet was especially piercing to the eye.
"You... Why would you have that thing?" Mobo frowned. This made things difficult. He thought that Wang Zheng did not have that. But thinking again, if he did not have that, he would not even be able to enter.
"Don't you need to tell me first? What threat does this pose? Is there a bomb inside or something?" Wang Zheng asked. S**t, looking at the old man's expression, this thing might really be something difficult to handle.
"This limiting bracelet is one of our methods to rule Maklou. Even an Earth-rank expert can only sigh. The beginner level limits ordinary people. There is very strong numbing agent inside that can instantly enter the nervous system and cause the whole body to be numb. The middle level bracelet has a bomb inside. If the slaves with more abilities tried to escape, they would explode. The effect is shocking. This also forces them to monitor each other. The high level bracelets are specially designed for limiting powerful people. Once activated, it can limit Ability X. This is prepared for special individuals."
Mobo was referring to those wealthy people seeking refuge here. They naturally brought their bodyguards, and some had shocking abilities. This type could only use the third kind of bracelet, which would not cause fatal injuries but also did not allow Ability X users to destroy the balance here. At the same time, it targeted the Milky Way Alliance's special agents. Obviously, the results were very good. Many special agents were beaten to death by street gangsters as a result because they could not use their Ability X.
"Mine is..."
"Yours is the first type." Mobo sighed. To him, it was worse than the third.
Wang Zheng was stunned. He was thinking from an entirely different perspective. The third seemed to be the safest but was the most difficult to remove. His should be easier. Professor Jiang Feng had really thought of everything."
"Mr. Mobo, I would like to know two things. The first is" who can open this bracelet?" Wang Zheng asked.
"The Bill family can. Now the people from Hong Lirong also can do so. Only the management level have the keys."
Wang Zheng nodded."The second is" what is the reason for the Bill family not destroying you guys entirely?"
Now that the overall situation was set, the other side had no reason not to push to the end, unless Mobo had something.
Mobo kept quiet.
Piglet, on the other hand, tugged Mobo's hand."Grandpa, I trust Wang Zheng, he's a hero, he can definitely help us."
Mobo laughed. Heroes... What heroes did this world have? This young chap might be good, but this was not as easy as fighting in a competition. Reality was always depressing.
"We do have something, but it's just that. You two better leave this place. Come back after the situation stabilizes. As for this bracelet, as long as you leave this place, the Milky Way Alliance can definitely open it."
Mobo said. At most, they had to do a complex surgery and it could be removed.
Wang Zheng, on the other hand, was considering another matter. It was definitely not feasible to approach the Bill family first. Now the important point was the Hong Lirong family. That also meant that the Hong Lirong family had already formed an alliance with the Bill family. But if he were part of the Hong Lirong family, would he easily trust the people from Bill family?
Perhaps they had some agreement between themselves, but that was not undefeatable.
"Mr. Mobo, I think you definitely have kept contact with the Hong Lirong family. Can you introduce someone from their management to me? For this matter, you only need to be responsible for the introductions. You just tell them that I have big business plans to discuss with them." Wang Zheng laughed.
"Big business?" Mobo was stunned. He shook his head."I can introduce you, but it'll be useless. They will not believe you at all, and once you show your face, it'll not be easy to leave anymore."
Wang Zheng smiled confidently."I'm not sure if Mr. Mobo has heard of Titatitan star?"
"Titatitan? Of course I've heard of it. That's a famous planet. Talking about it, we are in the same situation. Both of us just want to seek recognition and independence. It's just that they have succeeded and we have failed." Mobo was a little depressed. Obviously, the Julian family wanted to seek a similar effect, but they fell towards darkness in their fight. It was complicated to cooperate with the Milky Way Alliance. Wang Zheng, of course, knew that too. That was practically even darker than the underworld.
"Then that's great, I'm the ambassador of Titatitan Star. Titatitan Star wants to form an alliance with Maklou. We plan to form a rare energy mine association. No matter what Hong Lirong and the others are planning, people will always want to survive. They definitely will not want to burn all bridges with the Milky Way Alliance. And this moment, I think they need this opportunity."
Wang Zheng smiled. With that explanation, Mobo understood. Even if the Bill family and Hong Lirong family totally annihilated the Julian family and ruled Maklou, what would happen after that?
Would the Milky Way Alliance simply ignore all that?
That was obviously impossible. The Milky Way Alliance would definitely mobilize their troops because the Milky Way Alliance was also worried about the chain reactions in the other areas. As for the degree of the fights, that would be a gamble later.
But if they formed an alliance with Tita Star, then this would become another matter. From an international image perspective, Maklou would become like Tita Star, a resisting planet that withstood "bullying".
"You, what do you have as proof?" Mobo said seriously.
