A NECROMANCER WHO JUST WANTS TO PLANT TREES

Chapter 1762: 480 Treasure Grand Assembly_2

The Blood Web's details resembled thick human blood vessels, and any living creature that touched these vessels would be drained of all blood and die immediately!

This was clearly aimed at Storluk Industries.

As a result, the Mantis Law Enforcement Team closed all the entry points of the Three Major Satellites, and the Space City was gripped with panic—

Especially for those astral world beings associated with Storluk Industries, who were terrified out of their wits.

Matthew had also stealthily investigated the scene of the bloody incident.

Although most of the traces had been solidified or erased by the Law Enforcement Team, Matthew still sensed the potent aura of purgatory.

At least in this respect, the rumors were not wrong.

The perpetrator was a powerful female devil.

However, given the number of female devils originating from the Blood Banner Kingdom, Matthew thought the likelihood of it being Sif was low.

Mainly because the prey branding on his lower back had no reaction from the start...

With this thought,

Matthew felt somewhat disheartened.

But the next piece of news he gleaned from the Mantis bartender immediately revived his spirits:

"What?"

"The rumored-to-be-canceled Treasure Gala will proceed as scheduled?"

"And there's an additional stake—an outright offer to join Storluk Industries with super treatment for the winner within three days?"

Matthew narrowed his eyes.

He smelled a conspiracy.

Whether locking down the Ether Core's information or capturing the purgatory demoness targeting Storluk Industries, both would require a lot of resources and organizational power from Storluk Industries.

The Mantis forces, as the local tyrant of the Space City,

Have almost fully mobilized these past few days to maintain order.

Under normal circumstances,

Canceling the 'Treasure Gala,' which also required a significant amount of human resources and presented a high safety risk, would be the wiser choice.

Unless...

"They think that the female devil will cause trouble at the Treasure Gala?"

Matthew frowned in deep contemplation.

It was very likely that the situation would develop in that direction.

This was also good news for Matthew.

To hold the Treasure Gala,

Both the teleportation array controlled by the Mantis forces and the Space Barrier that Storluk Industries had locked down might present an opportunity.

Matthew made up his mind.

"I could lay an ambush near the Space Barrier beforehand,"

"During the diversion of the space undead army's forces as the female devil creates a disturbance at the Treasure Gala, I could attempt to land on Stuluck Planet again..."

Even if the female devil didn't take the bait and make trouble,

Matthew planned to send some underlings to stir up incidents in the Space City and other places!

As long as he could attract the attention of the guards near the Space Barrier,

His infiltration success rate would greatly increase.

To achieve this plan,

Matthew had done a lot of homework and preparation in advance.

But three hours before the Treasure Gala was about to begin,

Matthew, already lurking outside the Space Barrier, suddenly received a Secret letter from Melinda—

"See you at the Treasure Gala."

He pondered for a moment.

Ultimately, he left behind a spell coordinate that could be used for teleportation, then quickly left the Space Barrier, hurriedly heading towards the site of the Treasure Gala!

...

At the entrance of the Starlight Theater,

Matthew, in the guise of a Drakonid Mage, handed over his invitation that he had purchased for a hefty sum.

However, the receptionist hardly glanced at the text and merely gave him a perfunctory smile before leading Matthew inside the theater.

They hadn't walked far

When they were stopped by a lady in a black lace backless dress and high heels.

Behind her was a man shrouded entirely in iron armor.

"First time at the Starlight Theater?"

"What's your name, sir?"

The lady's voice was sultry, giving off an irresistibly charming vibe.

Matthew answered in a deep voice,

"My name is Eli."

"I heard there are many treasures here, and I am looking forward to tonight's program."

"So, is there a problem, madam?"

The woman took his invitation, scrutinized it carefully, and then couldn't help but look the "Drakonid Mage" up and down with a playful gaze.

"Tonight's performance will certainly be exciting,"

"But, sir, you have a standard seat; in fact, the view from the box seats offers much more excitement, don't you want to try?"

As she spoke,

She even bit her lip lightly, her eyes brimming with seduction barely concealed.

Before Matthew could reply,

The Iron Man behind her voiced in a deep tone:

"Miss Melinda."

"My instructions are to escort you to appraise certain items at the Treasure Gala."

"This doesn't seem like an appropriate occasion for outsiders to enter..."

The woman pointed aggressively with her finger at the Iron Man's armor:

"Who is the outsider?"

"In my eyes, you are the outsider!"

"Not only do I plan to bring a man into the private box, but I also intend to do some interesting things in there!"

"You'd better get out of my way wisely!"

The Iron Man murmured unhappily:

"This doesn't align with the instructions."

The woman sneered:

"If you try to interfere with my fun, I'll accuse you of raping me when we get back to headquarters!"

The Iron Man was shocked, his voice tinged with doubt:

"But I..."

"I don't have that kind of ability."

The woman dismissively said:

"If I say you do, you do. Do you think headquarters will care about a low-ranking son like you?"

The Iron Man fell silent at once.

The next moment.

Melinda triumphantly took Matthew's arm, ignoring the Iron Man's dissuasion, and the two strutted into the top-level private box of the theater.

Bang!

After the door was shut.

Melinda gave a meaningful look.

Understanding her cue, Matthew cast a soundproof and Concealment barrier.

"How did you recognize me?"

He asked curiously.

Melinda smiled faintly:

"I have a special Insight ability for everyone's soul. Your Transfiguration is truly divine; if I hadn't been sure you were at the Treasure Convention, I probably wouldn't have recognized you."

Afterward.

Melinda began to pour out her troubles to Matthew.

It turned out.

After the Great Tear.

A power struggle and contest had taken place within Storluk Industries—

The "general" previously in charge of the planet's affairs had been reassigned elsewhere, replaced by a group of Captains from the bastion, parachuted into the management layer.

They were confidants of the Deep Cold King, the highest leader of the space undead army.

In this struggle, Melinda had been completely marginalized from the circle that was nearly at the core, becoming a fringe figure within the organization.

Luckily, her reserves in psionic power, spells, astral world, and Universe Knowledge were quite solid.

So she was able to retain the position of magic consultant, the lowest rank.

"...Ever since my supervisor followed the general to another secret base, my days have been hard. None of the newcomers are good people; each one targets me openly and secretly..."

"That would be bearable, but it didn't have to come to my current plight."

Melinda continued complaining:

"About a week ago, someone suddenly told me a confidential file had been stolen from upper management."

"I don't even know what that file is, yet I was considered a suspect, isolated from my position, and monitored wherever I went!"

"I couldn't respond to your messages because of that haunting Iron Man can!"

"And it was such a coincidence."

"The Treasure Convention in Space City suddenly needed an expert on antiques and treasures, so I was temporarily assigned to come here, which is how I had the chance to meet you..."

Matthew frowned as he listened:

"The Mantis leader hosting the Treasure Convention should have his expertise in appraisal, right?"

Melinda pondered:

"That's true."

"But I heard that person seemed to have been harmed."

"Um, just a few days ago."

Matthew found it even more strange.

"Besides these, has anything unusual happened at Storluk Industries' headquarters lately?"

He was eager to get more information.

Melinda was about to speak.

Suddenly a round of applause came from below the stage.

The spotlight then came on.

A well-dressed Mantis walked onto the stage.

"The Treasure Convention has begun..."

"That's Christopher."

"The richest man of Hume Tri-star, and the leader of the Mantis."

Melinda introduced.

"Are your treasures ready?"

Christopher gracefully warmed up the crowd.

The atmosphere on and off the stage instantly heated up.

Matthew closed his eyes.

And spread his Insight throughout the entire Starlight Theater!
