Chapter 1105 - Chapter 1105 Chapter 339 503 Heavy Machinery Plant

Chapter 1105: Chapter 339: 503 Heavy Machinery Plant Chapter 1105: Chapter 339: 503 Heavy Machinery Plant “The mysterious parts drawings that Hansen Commerce brought over for commissioned manufacturing are most likely not relics output but part of the ‘Titan Blueprints.’ The Orlan Royal Family must be wanting to keep it secret by distributing the drawings among various forges… Unfortunately, these highly technical blueprints, except for us, who barely manage to manufacture some with our high-precision factories and top-grade mechanics, no other house could possibly produce them…”

“It’s a good thing great-grandma had the foresight. Over the years, she put a lot of resources into the field of Machinery, cultivating many outstanding mechanical engineers. Outsiders have no idea that the mechanical technology our Song Family commands is at least twenty years ahead of any other in the Federation…”

“Originally we were merchants, never intending to put all our eggs in one basket, and cooperation isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The trouble is, given the current situation, the Orlan Royal Court isn’t looking to collaborate but to swallow up everything the Song Family has. Once their people have stolen all of the core technologies of the factories, we will have lost our value. The ambition of the New King of Orlan is too great, but his vision is limited; he only sees Mechanical Technology as a tool for war and fails to recognize it as the direction for the future of civilization…”

“…”

Starfall City.

This is a somewhat famous Machinery City in the Federation.

Because of its convenient railway transport network and the advantage of nearby mineral deposits, it once produced about one-third of the Federation’s military Mechanical Exoskeletons.

But nobody knows that beneath Starfall City lies a little-known high-precision secret factory–the [503 Heavy Machinery Factory].

This is a property of the Song Family.

At this very moment, in a luxurious bedroom within the underground factory of 503, Lew Williams and his wife Monica were engaged in a farewell conversation.

“Monica, this is the ‘Inheritance Key,’ it contains everything of the Song Family. You must keep it safe. The person sent by the Lionheart Family to meet us has already been arranged; you take the key and Master Morton with you first and leave through the secret tunnel, go into hiding.”

“But what about you?”

“Those guys are all focused on me right now. Only if I stay will the factory not be suspected with so many talents missing. As long as I can hold out until tomorrow morning, I should be able to find a way out…”

“No, let Master Morton and the others go first. No matter what happens, I’ll stay with you.”

“My dear Monica, there’s no time to delay. I’ve used a very important piece that great-grandma left in the Orlan Royal Court, and have received accurate information that the New King has already secretly conspired with the White Family to control me with their soul-controlling Secret Skill and seize the Song Family. I’ve already deployed all means to delay, but we can’t hold off for long. Furthermore, the Southern Continent has recently suffered at the hands of the Titan Battle Armor and will surely target the mechanical factories as a military priority. I suspect that Starfall City has already been marked and in these days, enemies will surely come… If we wait until then, we won’t have any chance left.”

“But…”

“My dear Monica, Mechanical Technology is undoubtedly the future of civilization. We can give up the factory, but as long as we are alive, the hope of the Song Family lives on. Great-grandma entrusted the Song Family to me; I will not let it decline here. Take our hope of the Song Family and our unborn child to the Old Continent. I’m putting our future with the Song Family on the Alliance Army.”

“…”

Lew Williams was still chubby and fair-skinned.

But the naivete of youth had vanished from his face, and a grown mustache lent him the dignity of a great businessman.

Monica looked at her husband, caressing her slightly swollen belly, her eyes brimming with reluctance.

She wanted to stay, but as a former professional agent of Orlan, she was only too aware of the organization’s methods.

If she didn’t leave, she would become a burdensome hostage.

Before the couple could talk further, there came a knock on the door.

“Young Master, the agent from the Lionheart Family has arranged everything; you must leave now.”

“Mhm. Understood, Mr. Dove.”

Lew Williams responded.

Turning to look at his wife, he sighed and said goodbye, “My dear Monica, please take care of yourself.”

Monica’s eyes were filled with tears. She couldn’t bear it, but she had no choice but to turn and leave.

After she left, a man in a neatly tailored suit, Mr. Dove, walked in.

Having sent away his loved ones, Lew Williams’s face no longer showed any hesitation, leaving only deep solemnity.

The situation had become extremely urgent.

Mr. Dove reported, “Young Master… everything has been arranged. However, if I may be so bold as to speak, leaving the ‘Inheritance Key’ at the inn, I worry about the people who are supposed to receive it…”

As a loyal steward to the Song Family for a hundred years, he knew everything about the family.

Of course, he understood the importance of the “Inheritance Key.”

This key contained everything of the Song Family.

It hid information about unknown underground treasures, safe passwords, Mechanical Drawings, Transcendent information, secret treasures, bonds, contact methods for various hidden pieces, and incriminating material on significant figures in the Federation…

Even though the Song Family’s fame had diminished over the years due to strategic concealment, their foundation was beyond anyone’s imagination.

It could be said that the power the key could unleash was more shocking than anyone could fathom.

It could even turn the entire Federation upside down.

Mr. Dove was worried that such an important item might fall into the hands of someone untrustworthy.

Lew Williams knew what the old man was worried about and explained, “The methods of the White Family are extraordinary, and they have coveted the Song Family for a long time. Miss Carter is trustworthy, but given the current circumstances, the Lionheart Family’s hidden pieces may also have been turned. If there’s a problem with any part of the plan, then I lose all secrecy here. So whoever gets the key, it would be a calamity instead. If ‘the key’ were on my wife, and she were caught, she certainly wouldn’t survive.”
