False Court
Chapter 982 Heart of the Ark
Qing Gui then took out the corresponding report and respectfully placed it on the table.
"I understand. You may leave."
Ikaloya replied coldly.
"Yes!"
Qing Gui respectfully retreated.
Ikaloya opened Warden Fezake's report, glanced over it, and placed it aside, her expression unchanged.
As if it were just a minor matter.
However, when Ikaloya's gaze swept over the application, a slight ripple appeared in her cold eyes.
Her gaze stopped on the words "Mad-Eye Rein Hawke," the item being applied for.
......
Time seemed to pass without end.
The slightly ajar office door was pushed open.
Golie walked in and saw Ikaloya sitting in her chair, watching a virtual combat simulation of Mad-Eye Rein Hawke.
A rare complex expression appeared on Ikaloya's usually cold face.
"Sister?"
Golie called out softly.
Hearing Golie's voice, Ikaloya immediately came back to her senses. The strange expression vanished, and she returned to normal.
With a wave of her hand, the virtual image disappeared.
"What is it?"
Ikaloya asked indifferently.
Golie stepped forward and replied softly, "Sister, the matter you instructed me to do has been completed."
"I see."
Ikaloya replied expressionlessly.
At this moment, Golie noticed the Mad-Eye Rein Hawke application on the table, signed with Ikaloya's name. Her calm face showed extreme shock, as if she had seen something incredible.
Even the near sinking of Planet Geedora Fortress hadn't shocked her so much.
After all, this Mad-Eye Rein Hawke was their father's former mecha, and it held deep sentimental value for them.
"Sister, are you..."

Late at night, Star Ring City Port 72.
Su Mo and the others stumbled into the Shadow.
Sun Duo Xiang hurriedly shouted to his subordinates, "Quickly, close the entrance."
"Yes!"
His subordinates quickly sealed the Shadow's entrance.
"We're saved."
Su Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, gasping for breath.
Qian Chengxue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She said to Su Mo, "Don't like being famous? You're the first person in history to win a lawsuit against Star Ring City."
"No one has ever won before?"
Su Mo said with a wry smile.
"Boss, you're overthinking it. How could anyone ever win? The court doesn't even accept any cases against Star Ring City. It really exhausted me."
Sun Duo Xiang sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Starting tomorrow, you're all on vacation."
Su Mo said in a very good mood.
"Really?"
Zhang Hao and the others' eyes lit up.
"Nonsense, Sun Duo Xiang, tomorrow you give everyone a bonus and put them on paid leave. Also, remember to double the compensation for the fallen soldiers. We can't let our people down."
Su Mo solemnly instructed. Then, he transferred 10 billion Star Coins to Sun Duo Xiang.
"Haha, don't worry, Boss, I'll do it even if you don't say so. Um, do I get a share of the money?"
Sun Duo Xiang immediately came over with a flattering smile.
"Yes, everyone gets a share. Everyone, go and rest."
Su Mo readily agreed.
"Yay!"
Then, Zhang Hao and the others left happily.
Only Su Mo, Qian Chengxue, and the "light bulb" Sun Duo Xiang remained.
Su Mo turned his head to look at Sun Duo Xiang. "What other nonsense do you have?"
This guy really had no tact. Didn't he see that he wanted to be alone with Qian Chengxue for a while? He didn't know to leave, like a light bulb.
Sun Duo Xiang looked left and right, and said mysteriously, "Boss, I got the stuff you asked me to get last time. Do you want to go see it?"
Qian Chengxue asked doubtfully, "What stuff? So mysterious."
Hearing Sun Duo Xiang's words, Su Mo instantly remembered. He had been so busy lately that he had almost forgotten about it.
"Where is it?"
"Come on, I'll take you."
Sun Duo Xiang waved his hands excitedly, leading Su Mo and Qian Chengxue towards the Shadow's secret storage.
A moment later, Su Mo and the others arrived at a closed storage room.
A closed door similar to a bank vault came into view.
Sun Duo Xiang went up, entered the key, and performed a series of identity recognitions before opening the closed door.
"Hidden quite tightly."
Su Mo praised after taking a look.
"Of course. After all, it's black market goods. Can't be seen in the light..."
Sun Duo Xiang replied with a beaming smile.
Su Mo followed Sun Duo Xiang in, and saw that the storage room contained many things. There were some strange materials, and some rather sophisticated instruments.
"Damn, did you empty out that lab?"
Su Mo was also slightly surprised.
"Not at all, I only took a little bit. The fourth floor of that lab had a lot of stuff stored in it."
Sun Duo Xiang replied with a smile.
"I don't believe your nonsense. You must have been greedy and moved everything. No wonder you joined us so late. You relapsed again."
"Hehe, Boss, there were so many valuable things. How could I not move them? It would have been a huge loss."
"You're really brave. Aren't you afraid of something happening when you take so much stuff? It was already a bit risky to have you take that one item. What if it gets discovered later?"
"Hehe, Boss, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I had subordinates who weren't wearing bracelets move it. And at that time, Planet Mist had no signal and was in a closed state. Absolutely nothing will happen."
"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Where's the stuff I wanted?"
"It's here."
Sun Duo Xiang led Su Mo to the innermost part.
A square, about seven-meter-tall Mithril-colored power core came into Su Mo's view.
From the extremely complex mechanical patterns on the surface, it could be seen that this thing was very advanced.
"Boss, you have an eye for things. I specifically checked, and this thing is a miniature Ark Heart, a top-secret item. It was specially developed by Star Ring City for sixth-generation mechas. It can be used as a primary power source, and it's much stronger than those nuclear fuel rods. You can't buy it even if you have money. It's one of the top controlled items."
Sun Duo Xiang said with shining eyes.
"Not bad. It's perfect for my own use."
Su Mo looked at the power core and nodded with satisfaction.
Qian Chengxue asked Su Mo in surprise, "Su Mo, you're collecting these things... don't tell me you're planning to build a mecha yourself?"
During the day, Su Mo had asked Geyi to order a mechanical wing, and Qian Chengxue had felt that something was wrong. Now, seeing this power core, she was even more certain.
