A light energy ore the size of a fingernail was priced at the price of a high-quality energy mine that could be mined for at least ten years. Everyone who heard the price fell silent for a moment.

I knew it would be expensive, but with such a price offer, no one took action for a while until the first person opened their mouth.

The host kept a smile on his face and didn't seem surprised to see the silence in the room.

"We have a wide variety of commodities that can be traded here, and the light energy mine will be on display for three days. You still have a lot of time, so you can take your time to consider it."

The crowd started to make noise again, and everyone began to move again. Some continued to study and ask questions around the light energy mine, while others simply gave up and turned around to look for other targets.

Xia Ji's other two teammates returned after dealing with the bodies of those people. When the three of them exchanged glances, Xia Ji knew that a lot of things had happened.

Li Ke saw their interaction and said to Xia Ji, "You guys chat, I'll walk around and take a look."

Several people watched Li Ke walk away towards other exhibition areas. The teammate who had followed Li Ke at first approached Xia Ji and recounted to Xia Ji everything he saw and heard without any error.

When another teammate entered the room, he also saw the tragic situation inside. After hearing the details again, he couldn't help but say, "You really can't judge a person by his appearance. I didn't expect that someone who looks so righteous and beautiful could be so cruel and decisive."

Xia Ji's expression did not change after hearing this: "As a woman, she wants to make a living in troubled times. How can she get to where she is now without her own means?"

Looking at Li Ke's back in the exhibition hall in the distance, Xia Ji said after a while: "That's a R countryman. The attack on her should be related to the treasure. Spread the news you just got and ask the people above to find out where the base of that group of people is. Save those who need to be rescued and kill those who need to be killed."

Before leaving, the subordinate asked again: "Do we also need to report the process of obtaining this information?"

Xia Ji retracted his gaze, and in the blink of an eye he spoke: "No need to report in such detail."

After getting further away from the light energy mine, Li Ke's chest slowly calmed down. Just now, there were bursts of slight tremors there. This urgent tremor had not stopped since the light energy mine was pushed out.

Li Ke's mood was inevitably affected. She tried hard to suppress the fluctuations and stayed there calmly with Xia Ji for a while.

This slight vibration was not her own heartbeat, but the vibration of her space. It made a sound in Li Ke's chest for the first time, as if it made her have another restless heart.

Although it didn't say anything, Li Ke easily understood what it meant. It wanted to get this light energy mine very badly.

Li Ke's heart also rumbled for a moment because of this unusual movement. She didn't want Xia Ji to notice anything unusual, so she forced herself to suppress her shock.

Li Ke felt very complicated. The space really brought her too many conveniences, but if this thing was conscious, Li Ke couldn't help but become alert.

Now that it has what it wants, it may want more in the future. Li Ke cannot let himself fall into this passive situation.

Suddenly the lights went out again. Before anyone could react to what was happening, Li Ke heard the sound of a bullet being loaded.

The sound was almost synchronized with the lights going off. Her body moved faster than her consciousness and she instantly fell down and hid beside the booth.

The moment he took out the pistol, fierce gunshots and human screams and trampling sounds were heard in the hall. Li Ke looked around the dim hall. There were gunshots everywhere, but the most intense place was the Energy Hall.

Soon, gunshots were heard above the hall, targeting the people who were causing trouble with guns below. However, both sides were armed with machine guns and pistols, so accidental injuries were inevitable. Seeing them shooting at each other without any scruples, it was clear that they did not take other people's lives seriously.

The faint light from the light energy mine seemed firm and eternal. There was chaos all before his eyes. Li Ke couldn't help but feel a little excited. Should he take advantage of the chaos to steal something?

Thinking of the unusual movement in space, Li Ke was still a little hesitant. At this moment, three figures ran towards the light energy mine from three directions.

Li Ke shrank his body, leaned against the booth, and waited intently for what would happen next. Who would be the first to get this thing?

The lights finally came on again, and at the same time, two startling screams were heard in the hall. The two people who were lagging behind grabbed the black crystal stone and wanted to snatch the light energy ore from the first person who was lying on the booth and picked up the black crystal stone box.

Along with the screams, there were also sparks of fire that ignited on the two men’s bodies. Their brilliance was short-lived, and they fell to the ground exhausted, and their lives were gone in the blink of an eye.

The gunshots stopped, and a pair of large hands wearing black armor gloves took the black crystal box out of the arms of the first person who was lying motionless, and put it back in the center of the booth.

With one touch, the black shadow that had been stiff for such a long time had turned into ashes scattered on the ground. Everyone who saw this scene was speechless at the same time. It turned out to be true.

The organizer sent people to clean up the venue. The robber has been caught, and they will compensate the guests who were injured or killed according to the circumstances.

Tonight's banquet is announced to end early. The exhibition hall will be open regularly for the next three days. Guests in need can place orders during the opening period.

Xia Ji brought people to Li Ke's side: "How are you? Are you injured?"

Li Ke shook her head. Xia Ji saw that she was indeed fine. Thinking of her abilities, he stopped asking questions and led his men out of the exhibition hall.

On the way out, Li Ke saw the bodies of the Zheng couple. Their son was lying next to them with a gunshot wound in the abdomen. His condition looked very dangerous and the rescuers had not yet reached them.

Only their daughter seemed uninjured, but her mental state was very bad. She lost both her parents at the same time and her brother was also seriously injured. There seemed to be nothing she could do except cry and shout for someone to come quickly.

Li Ke glanced at the people around her who had no abnormal expressions and curled her lips silently. She saw that they were indeed not the kind of people who would swallow their anger in silence.

After returning to his residence, Li Ke asked casually, "Do you know what happened to the robbers today? Did you make some arrangements?"

Xia Ji shook his head: "It was other gangsters who were paid to do the job. It has nothing to do with us. We will not do this before we know more."

Li Ke listened and said nothing. Xia Ji looked at Li Ke again and said, "You were really impressive today. It's a pity that I didn't get to see your heroic appearance."

Li Ke met Xia Ji's gaze and said, "You are not bad either. Your method of killing is also very decisive."

Xia Ji's eyes softened: "Li Ke, being too vigilant will make you tired. It is said that life is short. Have you ever thought about finding a life partner?"

Li Ke looked teasing and asked doubtfully, "Are you trying to use a honey trap on me?"

Xia Ji's ears suddenly felt hot. He was not a young boy and had quite a lot of experience, but he suddenly treated Li Ke like this just now. It seemed that he was really moved by the heart and had no calculation.

Xia Ji coughed to ease the embarrassment: "I am not that kind of person. If I make a promise, I will take it seriously and be responsible to the end."

Now that he had started, Xia Ji spoke directly. Actually, this was not a bad idea. In his opinion, Li Ke would be a very good partner. If they really had a chance to be together, he would try harder and the higher-ups would probably not pursue the matter further.

Li Ke straightened his face and said, "No need. I am used to being alone and won't consider these things. Commander Xia, we are not suitable. No one is suitable for me."

Hearing this, Xia Ji took a sip of water, then put it down and said, "It's up to you. I never force others in relationships."

Li Ke stood up to leave, and Xia Ji suddenly said, "Are you sure you can take over the Light Energy Mine?"

Li Ke frowned: "Don't you want to learn more? You have seen the situation today. If you don't take protective measures, anyone who touches it will die!"

Xia Ji stood up and said to Li Ke seriously, "It was because of what we saw that we decided to get this thing."

Li Ke looked at the determination in Xia Ji's eyes and asked, "Where are my people? Get them out first. I'll find a way to deal with this."

"There will be news soon. I hope you won't let us down after they are safe." Xia Ji began to be businesslike.

"Wait until I see your results." Li Ke turned and walked towards the door.

Xia Jisi sighed softly and said, "I have sent out the photo of the black crystal. Let the people outside see if they can find the relevant material and make a set of imitation armor as soon as possible. Li Ke, this is not targeting you. Every tasker has to face possible danger."

Li Ke walked out of the door without looking back. She didn't need any explanation. She believed what Xia Ji said.
