“Rumors?”

Blood瞳 slightly frowned. “About a painting?”

“Yes.” The crew member nodded, not elaborating further.

But Blood瞳 already understood. It must be rumors about Markratala. After such a long silence, the escaped Mina finally made her move. And unlike ordinary revenge, Mina's actions this time were not only aimed at Carrie, but also intended to drag the entire family into destruction. It seemed that the failure of the heir battle had driven her mad, and she no longer cared about anything.

No one could guess what a crazy woman might do.

Fortunately, Blood瞳 had already made preparations before this happened. He believed Carrie should have released Heck's name by now. Blood瞳 didn't know why she was in such a hurry.

“Order, return to Serraridon.”

“Yes!” The crew member responded loudly. The shuttle silently changed direction in space the next moment and quickly entered warp.

A month later, Blood瞳 finally returned to Serraridon, which had completely changed.

The once prosperous planet was undergoing fortress改造 everywhere, with numerous warships traversing outer space. Blood瞳's shuttle received a notice to stop for inspection before it even approached. Five huge Fang-class destroyers approached, their gunports fully open, the thick plasma cannons gleaming with a faint blue light.

Blood瞳 readily accepted the inspection and was then guided to a separate orbit, landing above the floating castle on the western hemisphere of Serraridon.

At this time, the airspace above Serraridon was completely under martial law. The landing of Blood瞳's shuttle immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In the city, people hid behind windows, discussing who could have such privileges, filled with curiosity and apprehension.

The atmosphere in Serraridon was very tense, as everyone knew… the seventy-sixth family war was about to begin.

But this time was completely different from the past, as it was related to the rise and fall of the Romick family.

Carrie greeted Blood瞳 on the top platform of the castle, and then they quickly arrived at the castle's living room. As soon as they sat down, she placed a smart device in front of Blood瞳.

“The situation is not optimistic; we underestimated Mina.”

“Oh?” Blood瞳 was taken aback, picked up the smart device, and after flipping through it a few times, his expression changed immediately.

It turned out that during his mission, several major events had occurred in the Fifth World. The first was that Mina had released rumors that Markratala was in the Romick family. Before the Romick family could clarify, she claimed that the Romick family's secret treasure also contained treasures from the ancient Krodil civilization and accused the Romick family of attempting to revive the Krodil civilization using these treasures.

The two events, when combined, immediately caused a sensation throughout the Fifth World. In just half a month, hundreds of forces that originally had good relations with the Romick family began to distance themselves. At the same time, three forces were eager to make a move.

These three forces were the Smay family, the Vari Universe Explorers Association, and Noah's New Ark. All of them were significant forces in the Fifth World. Even if any one of them could not be compared to the Romick family, it was enough to deter one side. Now, they seemed to be uniting, which made Carrie feel deeply pressured.

The Romick family was very strong in the Fifth World, but this did not mean it could take on the entire Fifth World alone. It was actually a large family alliance, with tens of thousands of affiliated small families. It would be fine in normal times, but once it encountered a conflict that could destroy the family, Carrie, who had just become the head of the family, would find it difficult to maintain the stability of the entire family. The entire family might disintegrate at that time.

So, under duress, she had to ask for Blood瞳's help.

Quietly listening to Carrie's narrative, Blood瞳 flipped through the information on the smart device. Sure enough, these families were all terrifying behemoths. Any one of them would be unimaginable in the Sixth World. If they united, the pressure would definitely be unbearable for the Romick family.

After all, no matter how strong the Romick family was, it had to abide by the rules of the game in this universe. And hoarding the treasures of the ancient Krodil civilization violated the taboo of the entire universe.

“Has Mina's location been determined?” Gently closing the smart device, Blood瞳 asked expressionlessly.

“Not yet, but according to the location where the rumors originated, it is preliminarily determined to be in the Black Iron Starfield.” Carrie rubbed her temples with a headache, saying with distress, “It's an extremely chaotic starfield. Because there are cosmic storms, it has always been a forbidden zone for many航线.”

“It seems she knows her situation well.”

“Yes. My mother is a very scheming person. If she can't get something, she would rather destroy it. But no matter what, she won't drag herself into the vortex of destruction.” Carrie sighed and leaned softly on the soft couch. “But I think our biggest problem now is not finding her, but how to eliminate this crisis.”

“The Romick family seems powerful, but it can no longer withstand风雨.”

Blood瞳 was silent. He knew what Carrie meant by this. She had used some bloody methods to become the head of the family this time, so the family's vitality was greatly damaged. If it was subjected to external pressure again, the future of the entire family would be uncertain. As the head of the family, Carrie must be under great pressure now.

“…………” Looking at the slightly haggard Carrie, Blood瞳 softly开口, “Don't worry. I will help you.”

“That's best.” Carrie's eyes lit up, finally showing some vigor. What she feared most now was that Blood瞳 would abandon her, in which case she would no longer be able to produce high-end武力. For the current situation, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster.

And more importantly, there was still a person standing behind Blood瞳, and this person was the strongest trump card to solve the current situation.

“Has Heck's promise been announced?” Blood瞳 reached out to take out a cigarette, lit it, and then took a puff.

“Not yet.” Carrie answered hesitantly, with a trace of embarrassment on her face.

“Why?” Blood瞳 was taken aback. He originally thought that in such a difficult situation, Carrie would definitely throw Heck out to share the pressure. But he didn't expect Carrie to have not announced it yet. What does this mean? This shows that she has been bearing the pressure alone, allowing the Romick family to sway in the turbulent Fifth World.

What exactly is she trying to do??

“I want… to wait a little longer.” Looking at Blood瞳's surprised gaze, Carrie said apologetically.

“Wait a little longer… still need to wait a little longer.”

“Wait until everyone comes out into the open, then I will tell them this news.”

So that's how it is!!

Blood瞳 immediately understood.

This Carrie obviously doesn't just have the idea of overcoming the difficulties. She actually wants to use this incident to elevate the Romick family to a new height again, turning the crisis into an opportunity.

Think about it, what will happen when the entire Fifth World thinks that the Romick family is beyond救药?

It must be a case of everyone pushing the wall that's about to fall! One by one, the swaying forces will can't wait to jump out and join the ranks of attacking the Romick family, and even one by one, the big crocodiles lurking in the dark, who have been窥视 the Romick family, will also walk out of the shadows, revealing their ferocious claws. The Romick family will become a big cake in this crisis, attracting everyone's attention. Everyone will be drooling, can't wait to rush to the table, but they don't know that they are also exposed in the eyes of the Romick family.

What will happen when Heck's news is released at that time??

You can know the result with a little thought. Either Heck is ignored by these big forces, causing him to take action himself, or all the forces will be scared into silence, and they will no longer dare to have the slightest企图 on the Romick family.

And no matter what, the Romick family will become the biggest winner of this crisis because of this, and will jump into a super crocodile in the Fifth World.

What spicy means, what a ruthless heart!!

Carrie's idea is actually to use the entire Romick family as a bet! To bet on a future of unlimited development.

Is this the魄力 that a family head of a big family in the Fifth World should have?

Blood瞳 looked at Carrie in surprise, as if he knew this woman for the first time.

Speaking of which, since he met Carrie, this woman has shown him her魄力 more than once. She dares to take responsibility, dares to face challenges, and dares to throw down筹码 when she can't see the future of the game. But Blood瞳 still can't imagine that her魄力 will be so great.

Where is this still a decision that one person dares to make? This is clearly a big gamble!!

And the foundation of this豪赌 is based on the verbal promise of him, an ordinary universe warrior, and that great warrior behind him who looks lazy and never serious.

***'s… crazy!!

For a moment, only this thought flashed in Blood瞳's mind. Looking at Carrie, who looked slightly embarrassed in front of him, Blood瞳 suddenly thought of Mina again. That woman was also so crazy and so paranoid. But compared to her, Carrie is even better. Although her methods are slightly immature because of her age, she shows the quality of a big family head in her气魄. If she is given time, she may become a queen.

And Blood瞳, in an accidental encounter, accidentally got involved in this terrible vortex.

Blood瞳 fell silent, and the atmosphere in the entire room became more and more凝重, as if the air had凝固. Carrie was not in a hurry, and just looked at Blood瞳 quietly, keeping a faint smile on her face.

After a long time, Blood瞳 sighed and relaxed his body.

“Say it, what do you need me to do?”

“I need you to help me solve everything.” Carrie answered without hesitation, her tone firm and confident. “At the beginning of this crisis, I will make a full defense posture. At the same time, I will not clarify the rumors. During this time, I need you to help me maintain internal stability until the family war breaks out.”

“Next… in the early stage of the family war, I also need you to help me resist the powerful warriors from various forces, so as to ensure the progress of the conventional war and attract those潜伏者.”

“Finally…” Carrie smiled slightly and didn't say anything. But Blood瞳 already understood what she meant.

Looking at Carrie's firm gaze, Blood瞳 did not hesitate this time, but said very naturally.

“Big deal.”

“Yes, big deal.” Carrie nodded.

“What's the reward?”

“Krodil treasure.” Carrie replied calmly.
