In 4608 of the Old Era, accompanied his father to work at Mining Star k4521 in the Sea Pattern Star Sea.

...

In 4616 of the Old Era, enrolled at Feite Middle School in Black Flame Star·Ketova Base City, was selected as a Special Training Student due to excellent performance.

...

The Gakels City Lord slightly furrowed his brows as he put down An Ruoxue’s file and picked up Su Ming’s file.

Su Ming

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Hometown: Starlight City on Third Planet.

Mother: Zhao Ning, the eighth daughter of Zhao Heng, head of the New Moon Interstellar Heavy Industry Group.

Personal History:

Born on February 11, 4600, of the Old Era, in Starlight City·First Central Hospital, attended by Dr. Kawilu...

In 4607 of the Old Era, followed his father to settle in Thirteenth District.

...

In 4616 of the Old Era, thanks to Su Yuan donating 300W Federation coins, was admitted to Mint Middle School, with very ordinary academic performance.

On April 1, 4618, of the Old Era, scored 71 in a mock exam.

On May 4, 4618, of the Old Era, hanged himself due to emotional problems.

...

During the city exams of 4618 of the Old Era, Su Ming scored 218 in the comprehensive test and 50 in the subsidiary subjects. Due to a conflict with Li Fubai during the exam, resulting in the accidental death of a team member, his performance points were deducted. However, because his household registration was in Starlight City, he was able to enter Imperial Court Academy as an external student after his scores were lowered.

...

As the Gakels City Lord looked over Su Ming’s file, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

This record was detailed, clearly listing everything Su Ming had done since childhood.

However, the logic of the record was a complete mess; it didn’t make any sense.

If this information hadn’t come from a reliable subordinate, he would have suspected the intelligence personnel of making it up.

A month before the city exam, Su Ming’s performance had been terrible. Yet a month later, he achieved excellent results, and there were also issues with his personality. For the first dozen years, he was described as weak and introverted.

Suddenly, he turned into a smart, calm, and brave individual.

The more the Gakels City Lord read, the more irked he became—I felt like Su Ming had been replaced by someone else.

The Gakels City Lord grew increasingly annoyed as he read on. Among these three files, Lin Chuyu’s, though scant, was the cleanest and most normal, a martyr’s descendant who had inherited his father’s will after all.

As for An Ruoxue’s file, though it seemed complete, it too had its issues.

The main problem lay in the fact that she had followed her father to the Mining Star from a young age, traditionally leading a life that wouldn’t benefit her education. Even if her father was wealthy and provided her with tutors, the quality was limited.

Yet upon returning, An Ruoxue’s performance was outstanding, making her a dark horse in the 4618 city exams, directly entering the inner school.

As for Su Ming’s file, it was needless to say—he felt it was the most problematic. With such stark contrasts in personality, it felt like an infiltrating spy.

However, the report made it clear—Su Ming’s genetic marker matched those held by the birth hospital.

There’s also one point, Su Ming is the grandson of Su Zhen Tian from Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry Group, and the Su Family is one of the pillars of the Federation, with a good reputation and reviews, so it’s hardly likely he’s a spy.

Moreover, although Su Ming’s appearance had drastically changed, tens of thousands of employees at the landfill had witnessed his training process. frёeωebɳovel.com

Hence, as absurd as this file was, no record in it could be refuted.

Gakels rubbed his temples, seeking a reasonable explanation. Could it really be due to emotional setbacks, causing a drastic personality change? Suddenly becoming clever?

Although it was somewhat absurd, it seemed barely plausible, especially since the person he liked was Lin Chuyu.

Another possibility could be internal family strife, where Su Ming had been hiding his skills from an early age. But if he was concealing his talents, how could he not bear the stimulation and commit suicide?

Knock, knock!

At that moment, a knocking sound suddenly arose, interrupting Gakels’s thoughts.

Gakels promptly put away the three documents, placing them in the bottom drawer, then spoke.

"Come in."

The tightly closed door was then opened, and Yun Rou entered with Su Ming and two others, respectfully saying,

"Gakels City Lord, the person has been brought here."

Upon hearing Yun Rou’s words, Su Ming’s heart abruptly pounded. He clearly remembered, the name signed on the document was Gakels.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the Fading Campaign from those years must also be related to Gakels. It was even possible that the original order to support the transfer country, Teboken, came from him. Perhaps the Commander presented was merely a scapegoat.

In fact, Su Ming guessed correctly; Gakels had a particularly good personal relationship with King Abosa of Teboken. The research and site selection of the Fourth Generation Biological Mechas and the subsequent Fading Campaign were all closely related to him.

However, despite the fluctuating thoughts in Su Ming’s mind, his expression remained unchanged.

"You may leave."

Gakels directed Yun Rou, who respectfully exited, closing the door behind her.

Soon, only Gakels and the three individuals, Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue, remained in the study, all showing nervous expressions.

Gakels warmly said,

"There’s no need to be so formal. I invited the three of you here today for nothing serious. Just wanted to have a chat, so relax, do take a seat!"

"Thank you, City Lord."

The three somewhat nervously sat on chairs arranged in front of the desk.

Once they were seated, Gakels’s gaze swept over Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue before finally landing on Su Ming,

"Although you three are freshmen, you’ve performed exceptionally well in the league!"

"Thank you for your praise, City Lord. Actually, our success also involved some luck."

Lin Chuyu modestly responded.

"Haha, luck is also a part of strength. By the way, I have something I want to ask you."

"Please go ahead, City Lord."

"I saw that you entered the Terra Royal Base, and even made it to the second basement level, to the door of Abosa’s room. Did you go inside?"

Upon hearing Gakels’s inquiry, Su Ming’s nerves were immediately stirred. He decisively spoke before An Ruoxue and Lin Chuyu could say anything,

"City Lord Galcks, we did go inside."

"Oh? What did you see in there?"

Galcks asked, watching Su Ming’s expression shift.

"After we entered the room, we carefully looked around. The entire room was very luxurious, furnished with various luxury goods and famous paintings."

"Anything else? Didn’t you see anything else?"
