Chapter 1271: Swift Blade Sala was naturally very anxious.

He was the mastermind behind all of this; if it succeeded, he would get the most credit.

If it failed, he would naturally bear the greatest blame.

The operation was scheduled to begin within an hour.

After issuing the orders, Sala immediately went to Liancui.

Liancui was slightly surprised that Sala wanted to see it. Sala hadn't been a Tycoon for long, and Liancui hadn't put too much pressure on Sala.

"Speak, what is it? If you're here to resign, then leave your head here!"

Upon hearing this, Sala actually breathed a sigh of relief.

This indicated that Liancui did not know about the consciousness replacement.

This consciousness replacement was from bottom to top, not top to bottom, and Liancui was not targeted.

Actually, top-to-bottom would have been best, but Liancui had a very mature security system around it. For instance, Sala was not allowed to bring anything when meeting Liancui.

Consciousness replacement devices came in large and small sizes.

Small ones required close-range use, while large ones could be used from a distance, but the key issue was that they were too big!

Forget entering Dome City; it would be difficult even to enter Canalanarfa.

"Of course not. I've already achieved some results and can reverse our declining trend within a century," Sala said confidently.

"Oh? I hope you can do it. If you do, I can give you more business."

The economic lifeline of a force could not possibly be held by a single Tycoon; in fact, there were several Tycoons.

Of course, they had all been replaced by now.

"Then why are you here?" Liancui asked.

Sala's visit here was indeed for more than just confirming Liancui's status.

He said, "After I became a Tycoon, I discovered many corruption issues within Metal Light."

He glanced at Liancui, and seeing no reaction, he continued:

"If that were all, it would be fine. Most importantly, some high-ranking officials are colluding with those Unknown Civilizations."

"This isn't just a problem with certain high-ranking officials; it involves the entire race. If such 'acnes' persist, Metal Light will continue to decline."

Liancui became interested in what Sala had investigated.

It naturally knew about these things and was investigating them itself.

But it hadn't expected Sala to uncover anything.

While Metal Light and those Unknown Civilizations were collaborators, Liancui would not, on that account, become subservient to those Unknown Civilizations like a dog; it had its own bottom line.

If those Unknown Civilizations touched that bottom line, it wouldn't mind a mutually destructive fight; even if it couldn't destroy the Unknown Civilizations, it would make them feel pain.

This was a very interesting point that Sala had only recently learned: those Unknown Civilizations were somewhat wary of Liancui.

Of course, it wasn't a wariness of strength, but rather that Liancui had somehow obtained explosive information from within certain Unknown Civilizations. Every life has its flaws, and every Civilization has its darkness.

Once this explosive information was exposed, it would definitely cause turmoil.

For a Civilization, such turmoil was nothing, but the Civilization's decision-makers would be at the core of this turmoil. No one knew whether they would be the ones purged or the purgers.

So, no Civilization dared to detonate Liancui, this bomb.

What Sala was interested in was what explosive information Liancui possessed and how it obtained it.

"Just send me the information; I will handle this matter."

Liancui didn't let Sala speak it out on the spot.

If he spoke it out, it would have to deal with it in front of Sala, and even if not immediately, it would need to provide a solution.

It was a leader, yes, but Metal Light was a force, not a dictator, requiring coordination among various races.

It couldn't even resolve the internal corruption issues within Metal Light, so how could it easily pass judgment on such matters?

But how could such words satisfy Sala?

Sala said, "This matter isn't that simple."

"You must have heard about the recent actions of the Unknown Civilizations. Of course, this is also one of the main reasons affecting our business."

"But have you ever wondered why all other forces received invitations, but Metal Light and Bolan did not?"

"You should know that Metal Light and Bolan combined are more powerful than all other forces put together."

"The real reason isn't that they don't want to move, nor is it because of certain constraints preventing them from moving. It's simply that they wish to preserve the most complete strength of Metal Light and Bolan, adopting a slow-motion policy."

"The invitation was not directly given to Metal Light, but to those races!"

Liancui immediately became sharp.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Absolutely true. How dare I deceive you on such a matter?"

Liancui had shown no reaction to the previous statements, but its reaction this time was so strong because the first matter was an internal issue, something that would exist in any force.

Although the second matter was related to external forces and even involved internal betrayal, the fundamental base of these races still lay within Metal Light; they would be nothing without Metal Light.

However, the third matter truly touched its raw nerve.

This was no longer just chipping away at the foundation; it was directly targeting the entire house.

Liancui asked Sala to send all the information to it; it couldn't possibly believe Sala's one-sided story.

And after finishing the documents, the air around its body seemed to drop several degrees.

"Gather all racial leaders for a meeting!"

Liancui issued the order through its own channels, an order that went directly to all races.

Then, it spoke to Sala again: "You've done very well. If you can also boost the economy afterward, I will make you the sole Tycoon!"

Sala gladly accepted this grand promise.

He was moved to tears of gratitude.

After leaving, the first thing he did was order his subordinates to act.

"The conditions are all set. All races will gather together. We will use a swift blade to cut through all the tangled mess!"

Sala's eyes became incredibly ruthless... Although they didn't know what had happened, the leaders of various races still arrived for the meeting.

Liancui's prestige was still significant.

In the conference room, it was a chaotic scene.

These leaders themselves were in Dome City, which was a kind of alternative imprisonment.

As long as your core is in Dome City, it's impossible to betray the interests of Metal Light.

Liancui had thought this way until today, which was why it remained calm and seemingly unconcerned when Sala reported.

However, many things had changed now.

Unknown Civilizations are, after all, Unknown Civilizations; any single toe could crush Metal Light. If they truly acted, it could be said that the general trend was irresistible.

So Liancui truly believed Sala's words.

When Liancui entered the conference room with a grim expression, all the races fell silent, waiting for Liancui to speak.

They all speculated that something big had happened, but Liancui angrily addressed all the races, saying, "How dare you!"

Although Sala had only provided a list of some races, this was only the part that had been investigated.

Liancui was certain that many other races were also involved, just that they had been sufficiently covert.

So it didn't list who did what, but instead immediately condemned all races upon arrival!

It was a show of force!
