Bai Tang Although she was within the Alliance's territory, she still had a certain understanding of the enemy faction, the Empire. The Weir family was the third family in the Empire, aside from the royal family, holding significant power in both political and military circles, with one-third of the Empire's army under their control. Now, the Eldest Son of the Weir family had actually come to trouble her, most likely because she had helped fend off the interstellar pirates, which could have disrupted the Weir family's plans.
The response from Shadow Thirteen confirmed Bai Tang's suspicions. The ship she was on secretly carried an item discovered by archaeologists on Ancient Earth, an Energy Core. This Energy Core looked like an ordinary stone on the outside but contained an immense amount of energy inside. The energy within a stone as tall as a person could support the Alliance's usage for ten years. Two thousand years ago, technology could not detect this kind of energy; it was only with today's advanced technology that this so-called "miraculous" energy stone could be discovered. One can imagine how delighted the Alliance was upon discovering such a stone. Although the supply of these stones was scarce, the amount currently found was enough to meet the Alliance's energy consumption for a thousand years. The discovery of the stone was classified as top secret by the Alliance, but unexpectedly, it was leaked to the Empire by an insider—not to the royal family but to the Weir family. The Weir family feared that Harry Weir would come to seize this batch of energy stones. Naturally, Harry Weir could not openly carry out such a theft within Alliance territory; instead, he bribed "Interstellar Skeleton" to take the lead. Unfortunately, this plan was thwarted by Bai Tang, prompting Harry Weir to send Shadow Thirteen to kill Bai Tang.
"Damn, how arrogant!" Bai Tang activated her communicator; she couldn't let Harry Weir go without a response.
"Kait, I just received news that Harry Weir, the eldest son of the Empire's Weir family, has infiltrated the Alliance. And he is near Blue Star."
Kait Sean put down his communicator and immediately organized his subordinates to fly out of Blue Star, although he was puzzled about how Bai Tang knew about Harry Weir entering the Alliance.
In space, Harry Weir was waiting for Shadow Thirteen to complete the mission and bring back Bai Tang's head to vent his anger. However, he did not wait for Shadow Thirteen, but rather for a fierce Alliance military force. If it weren't for his bald companion's quick reaction in taking him and leaving his subordinates behind to escape, Harry Weir would have become a captive of the Federation. At that moment, it would not only be embarrassing; the private dealings of the Weir family would also be exposed, and the Emperor of the Empire would certainly take precautions against them.
"Shadow Thirteen failed. It must have been Bai Tang who leaked our secret," Harry Weir gritted his teeth and said; he had never been so embarrassed before. All of this was because of that woman. Hmph. One day he would make that woman pay dearly.
"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Bai Tang sneezed twice and rubbed her nose; someone must be cursing her. Most likely it was this ghost's former master in front of her.
"Regarding other matters about the Weir family, such as how many lovers the head of the Weir family has, how many illegitimate children there are, how many cuckolded men there are; what is the relationship like among several sons of the Weir family? Have they ever killed each other over power struggles…"
A series of questions left Shadow Thirteen momentarily stunned before it slowly began to respond.
"The head has no lovers. He has five wives, each with powerful backgrounds and beauty."
"Damn, can men in the Empire really have multiple wives?"
"Yes. The Empire worships strength; powerful men can have many women. Powerful women can also have many men."
Wow, such a system in the Empire would surely be favored by those who travel between worlds.
"Continue!" Bai Tang moved a table and a chair out of the room, then took a can of drink, a plate of sunflower seeds, and a plate of beef jerky from his backpack, snacking while listening to the ghost gossip.
"The Weir Family lives in Conroding. Will has three sons and seven daughters. Although the seven daughters are outstanding, they cannot inherit the Weir Family and were all married off as pawns for alliances, leaving only the three sons to compete for the position of the next family head. The talents of the three sons are quite similar. The eldest son, Harry Will, is very cunning; those who offend him will definitely not have it easy. The youngest son, Jack Will, is warm-hearted and well-liked; the second son, Senwen Weir, is foolish and arrogant, but since he is the son of the first wife, no one dares to provoke him. The family head dotes on this son the most..."
Shadow Thirteen knew many secrets about the Weir Family, but from Bai Tang's perspective, what he knew was only about one-tenth or one-twelfth. The Weir Family had deep roots and seemed to be preparing for a major plan. As for what that plan was, someone like Shadow Thirteen, a death warrior, did not know.
This went on for an entire afternoon. Bai Tang finished his drink and polished off two plates of snacks. He clapped his hands and stood up, making a gesture.
"Alright, you can go reincarnate now!"
The figure in the formation paused for a moment before deeply bowing to Bai Tang and turning into a shadow that vanished into thin air.
Just as Shadow Thirteen disappeared, the doorbell rang outside the Main Gate. A moment later, Kate strode in.
"Bai Tang, good thing you reminded me! Our enemy is at our doorstep and we didn't even notice. If something chaotic really happened, our Alliance Army would be humiliated." Kate shook the drink can on the table. "Is it empty?"
Bai Tang took another can of drink from his backpack and tossed it to Kate.
Kate opened the lid and took a sip. "Delicious! As expected, everything you bring out is the tastiest."
"What do you need me for?" Bai Tang asked.
"How did you find out about Harry Will's whereabouts?"
Bai Tang pointed at a lump in the yard.
"Wow, what is that? Don't tell me it used to be a person?" Kate exclaimed; it was too tragic!
"Congratulations, you got it right." Bai Tang symbolically clapped his hands twice. "He was indeed a person before, a death warrior of the Weir Family, sent to kill me on Harry Will's orders. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't kill me and had to self-destruct instead."
"Why does Harry Will want to kill you?" Kate was surprised; Bai Tang had nothing to do with the Weir Family, right?
"Just think about it yourself, and you'll understand." Bai Tang rolled his eyes at Kate, using one hand on the chair and the other on the table as he walked into the room.
Kate hurriedly followed, "Pirates!? Those Pirates were sent by Harry Will! They found out..."
Kate quickly shut her mouth, not mentioning the words 'energy stone.'
"Yes, it should be because I disrupted their plans that they want to kill me. In the end, not only did I escape, but I also learned their identities." Bai Tang nodded. "By the way, what happened to Harry Will?"
"He escaped!" Kate lamented.
Bai Tang had anticipated such an outcome and was not frustrated. He took out two plates of snacks to treat Kate.
"Bai Tang, will you marry me?" (To be continued)
