It was noon, and a special meeting was taking place in the cabinet hall of Dingchao.

Young councilors from the four major local families in Haiwen have gathered together. At this moment, they are looking maliciously at the young governor above the venue, who always has a smile on his face.

After a long silence, the representative of Trinity City, the young businessman Siegel, stood up from his seat first and said in the direction of Otto in a tone that was close to questioning.

"Sir Otto, can you explain your purpose of calling us here?"

As the de facto ruler of Trinity City, the family to which Siegel belongs is the second largest force in Haven locality after Cyrus. Together with Sheen and Kano, he formed an alliance, relying on the Rift Valley and the Mountains. Together they established a fortress city called Trinity City.

In order to be able to fight against the warlords and bandits in the wasteland, nearly 20 PDF regiments are stationed in the city all year round. The population under its jurisdiction is close to 100 million. Due to the large number of planetary mining barges, Trinity City has also accumulated a lot of resources. less wealth.

Due to various considerations, when dealing with the issue of Trinity City in the past, the previous governors had always used a soft policy to calm the matter as much as possible. The final result of this was that they dared to negotiate with Cyrus at certain times. Family feud.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of Siegel and the other representatives, Otto saw strong dissatisfaction and jealousy, as well as undeniable ambition.

A bunch of troublesome and boring guys.

This was Otto's first evaluation of these so-called cabinet members, but he did not show this boredom on his face, but responded to the young Siegel on the stage with kind eyes.

"I think your worries are unnecessary. There is no special purpose here. As I said before, I am just considering the future and sincerely invite you to come and manage Haiwen with me. That’s all.”

For such an answer, the young and energetic Siegel was obviously not very satisfied, while Otto ignored the young man's questioning and hostile eyes, and saw him clasping his hands and speaking in a sincere tone. .

"The Emperor's blessing."

"Although we have suffered such a heavy loss at this darkest moment, as long as all families can unite as one, I firmly believe that we will be able to survive the current crisis."

However, just as Otto finished speaking, a slightly disdainful voice came from the stage.

"I think everyone here is familiar with who made the most profit from that attack, don't you think so?"

The person who spoke was a representative of the Sheen family. As the words fell, Siegel's face also showed a mocking look.

Obviously, these people were alluding that the attack on the former governor was actually carried out by Otto. After all, normally, as the youngest and least favored heir in the family, whether according to the empire or the family Under the laws of inheritance, Otto had no chance of touching the governor's power.

But now an attack full of conspiracy has changed everything. At the time of the attack, Otto, who is also a member of the family, coincidentally was not on the fleet flagship. This is very intriguing. .

In fact, even within the Philon and Sellers families, there are not a few people who are skeptical of the new governor, including some officers of the PDF Corps. Otto, who is surrounded by a whirlpool of suspicion, naturally understands this. a little.

At this moment, an angry voice suddenly interrupted the young man's speech on the stage.

"Watch your attitude! This is not a place for you to talk nonsense!"

The speaker was none other than Kalman.

"The Gale Sword where Lord Otto is located was also attacked. If it hadn't rushed into the subspace passage, those attackers would also have killed Lord Otto!"

As the general manager, he loudly scolded the shady young people sitting on the stage.

Since the adjutant Raya was attacked in a previous heresy incident and is still in a coma, the general manager Kalman took on some of the work that originally belonged to Raya. Although he has the standard arrogance and rigidity of the imperial people, in terms of ability Speaking of which, Kalman is indeed worthy of his position.

Under his scolding, the four new members present finally shut up. Just when Otto was about to advance the meeting as planned, a guard hurriedly walked into the venue. He looked very flustered.

After obtaining the agreement, the guards came to the governor and reported in a low voice. From his mouth, Otto got shocking news.

——The Gray Sand Family located next to the silver-gray desert seemed to have suffered an unknown attack, and tens of thousands of people disappeared almost overnight.

Since the family failed to respond to the communication orders sent by Feilun twice, Otto sent people to the location of the Gray Sand Family in person earlier, but who would have thought that this would be the result.

What's even more strange is that, according to the guards, the team sent out found a lot of traces of battle at the scene, which shows that the guards of the Gray Sand Family had a conflict with something. However, not to mention living people, there was even a corpse in the area. The body was not left behind either.

It's like it evaporated.

Soon, when the meeting ended, Otto left the venue almost immediately.

What happened to Huisha's family made him have a terrible suspicion in his mind.

According to his understanding, in the past hundreds of years, scientific researchers from the Gray Sand Family and the Mechanicus from Ota have conducted a lot of research on the gray desert composed of nanobugs, but the final result was nothing.

Could it be said that they finally succeeded in awakening those things?

Judging from the results of the attack, it is possible that it was not Gray Wind that they woke up, but

Gray goo?

You can't really recite it so little, right?

While Otto was still troubled by this, he suddenly saw Mina's figure again in front of the corridor, and she seemed to have something to say.

The next second, while the guards were not paying attention, the girl quickly stepped forward, grabbed Otto's hand, and quickly brought him into the storage room on the side of the corridor.

Before Otto could speak, Mina spoke first.

"I have privately tested and compared your genetic data with the original files. No matter how I look at it, your genes and bloodline are seriously inconsistent with Otto himself."

"The instruments I have are barely capable of detecting any mutations in your genes."

“It’s almost pure to the point of being almost miraculous.”

As she spoke, Mina took a few steps back, her eyes filled with shock. After taking a deep breath, she asked with a slightly trembling voice.

"who are you"
