Chapter 1328 Star Sea (One Hundred and Thirty-Two)
The atmosphere in the imperial study was solemn to the extreme.
Emperor Shengguang looked coldly at the kneeling director of the Investigation Bureau and said, "You really deserve to die."
He waved his hand, and the side door on the right side of the study opened. Three burly and sturdy royal guards entered one after another.
Everyone was carrying a large box.
The guards placed three boxes in front of Director Chen and opened the lids at the same time.
There were a lot of lavender crystals inside.
Dark crystal!
The heads of the three major bureaus present immediately recognized the origins of these crystals and were extremely surprised.
The Holy Light Emperor said calmly, "These three boxes are the spoils that Major Wang Chen submitted to the task force at the Tempus Star Space Fortress three days ago. There are a total of 13,765 Nether Crystals in them."
"After expert appraisal, all the Nether Crystals were formed no more than nine months ago, and the latest one was ten days ago."
"Chen Bangzhi, do you know what this means?"
Director Chen Bangzhi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and instantly felt cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
There is no doubt that these Nether Crystals were obtained by Wang Chen on the planet Tempus.
And he was alone.
According to calculations based on previous battle examples, more than 10,000 Nether Crystals meant that Wang Chen had killed at least 40,000 to 50,000, or even hundreds of thousands of Nether Clan members. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to condense so many energy crystals.
The three boxes in front of him are worth more than 10 billion star dollars!
But how is this possible?
Chen Bangzhi really couldn't believe that one person could kill tens of thousands of powerful Netherworld people on the planet Tempus where high-tech weapons and equipment could not be used.
Previously, when he agreed to Wan Yaokun's request and ordered people to bring Wang Chen to the Investigation Bureau headquarters for questioning, he never dreamed that Wang Chen was holding such a big trump card in his hand!
The most important thing is that if so many Netherworld people are wiped out, it will be much smoother for the Empire to rebuild the planet Tempus, and the casualties and costs will be greatly reduced.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Chen has made great contributions to the empire!
The more Chen Bangzhi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He could not help but bang his head heavily on the floor again: "I deserve to die!"
He knew very well that any quibbling and complaining at this time would only increase the Emperor's bad impression, and the original three points of guilt might increase to five or seven points.
"Since you have been diligent and conscientious over the years, please go back and resign."
Emperor Shengguang waved his hand disinterestedly: "I'll give you one last bit of dignity."
Chen Bangzhi was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "I, your humble servant, thank you for your grace!"
Simply losing his official position was the best outcome for him, he couldn't ask for more.
Emperor Shengguang ignored him and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my decree. Wang Chen has made great contributions to the country. He will be promoted to the title of Baron of the Jin Empire, and will be granted the title of Honor and the Royal Starlight!"
Everyone present was heartbroken when they heard this.
Wang Chen has made great contributions, so being promoted to the title of baron is nothing, and it is even a bit low.
Because the empire has always attached the greatest importance to military achievements.
But the meaning of being awarded an honorary title is completely different!
From a certain perspective, the status of the Baron of Imperial Glory in the aristocratic system is no less than that of the great nobles at the duke and marquis level, and he has the power to directly enter the palace to meet the emperor.
But this reward also demonstrates the Holy Light Emperor's ability to control his subordinates.
Giving him only the title of baron would give Wang Chen the motivation to continue working hard to climb up, and by bestowing him with the title of honor, he would be qualified to establish an aristocratic family.
However, Wang Chen was just an orphan of the dead in war and had no background, so it was not easy for him to establish an aristocratic family.
You must know that the empire's aristocratic system has been established for hundreds of years and has already formed a stable balance. A newly emerging glorious aristocrat is bound to be excluded and suppressed by countless people.
Under such circumstances, Wang Chen could only rely on the Holy Light Emperor who appreciated him!
In comparison, a Royal Starlight super cruise ship is nothing.
Although this space cruise ship was specially customized for the royal family and cost more than 10 billion star dollars, it is equipped with countless latest technologies.
Chen Bangzhi and others realized that the importance that Emperor Shengguang attached to Wang Chen far exceeded their imagination!
Emperor Shengguang was obviously very satisfied with their expressions at the moment and said, "The matter of Wanhai Group must be thoroughly investigated. We must also pay attention to avoid causing social unrest as much as possible."
"Some people should be arrested. We should not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person get away!"
The two directors who did not take off their hats were both filled with awe.
Emperor Shengguang did not mention a word about the murderer who committed the bloody crime, but asked them to investigate the Wanhai Group thoroughly. His intention was obvious.
They exchanged glances and reached an instant understanding.
This time, His Majesty must be satisfied!
After the heads of the three major bureaus left, Emperor Shengguang sat back in the soft chair and thought quietly for a long time.
He opened the safe under the desk and took out a 30-centimeter-long horn.
The horn was black and purple in color, with a metallic luster. It weighed more than seventy kilograms, and even the Holy Light Emperor, an A-rank warrior, had a hard time holding it in his hand.
If you look closely, you can find countless strange lines faintly revealed on the surface of the horns, exuding an ancient, mysterious and vast atmosphere.
This is the dragon horn of the Nether Dragon!
As the most powerful combat unit of the Nether Clan, the Nether Dragon is the most hated alien enemy of the Imperial Army. Countless warships have been destroyed by it, and countless soldiers have paid with their blood and lives.
After the Nether Dragon dies in battle, there is a chance that it will drop a dragon horn, which is the thing in the hands of the Holy Light Emperor.
However, the war between the Empire and the Nether Dragons lasted for hundreds of years, and tens of thousands of Nether Dragons were killed, but only two dragon horns were seized.
One is in the Empire's Supreme Academy of Sciences, and the other is in the Holy Light Research Institute, for analysis and research.
Its value is immeasurable!
As for this third Nether Dragon Horn, when Wang Chen handed over three boxes of Nether Crystals, he specially took it out as a gift to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Tell me, is it possible that Wang Chen was responsible for the incident at Wanhai Building?"
As soon as the Holy Light Emperor finished speaking, the head guard, who had been standing in the corner behind him, as silent and firm as a statue, immediately replied: "According to the information we have obtained so far, when the incident occurred, Baron Wang Chen was at the Investigation Bureau headquarters to receive inquiries."
"The straight-line distance between the Investigation Bureau headquarters and Wan Hai Building is thirty-seven point five three kilometers."
Although both buildings are located in the core area of the imperial capital, the distance between them is not really close.
No matter how strong Wang Chen's fighting ability is, could he have committed the Wanhai Building massacre from dozens of kilometers away?
The Holy Light Emperor burst out laughing.
Does the truth matter?
No!
