The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

975、Leak

Immediately several robots came over and grabbed Padmé by the wrist.

Seeing this scene, Rush Clovis was furious, rushed over and grabbed Lott Dude by the collar, "What are you doing! Who gave you the guts to arrest a member of the Republic!?"

At this time, Padmé was also silently gesturing to Anakin, asking him to take the things out as soon as possible.

Although Anakin was worried, he still understood the priority of the matter, and he immediately wanted to leave the palace while taking advantage of the chaos here. At least he still understood that the people present were still top figures in the political arena of the Republic, and they would not dare to do anything to a congressman.

As for the separatist Thunbak-Tula, it is even more impossible for her to make such a decision, seeing how cowardly she is.

Lott-Dude said sharply: "We have seen it through surveillance! Senator Padmé secretly operated our database host!"

"It's impossible!" Clovis was shocked, and hurried over to check on the mainframe. After looking at it, he found that the plan on the mainframe was gone.

He sighed deeply, turned around and said to Lot Dude: "Okay, this is just an investment plan, please make a new one for me."

As soon as he heard him say that, Padmé Amidala realized that he had just done something stupid. The fact that she wanted to delay the project with all her heart, delayed the advent of this super warship as much as possible.

But in fact, how could the detailed design of such a battleship appear here? As Clovis said, it was just an investment plan.

However, her act of hastily deleting the plan revealed her true purpose.

Clovis turned to look at Padmé again, "It turns out that everything you told me was a lie, didn't you?... Hand over the things." His words were full of sadness.

"I don't know what you're talking about! But the one who was really deceived is me! It's the Galactic Republic!" Padmé said sharply.

"No, you made a huge mistake, Padmé." Clovis waved his hand, and the robot that grabbed her immediately searched in her bag, but found nothing.

"Lock her up! Until the matter is resolved!" Lot Doud waved his hand to signal the robot to take Padme down, and then said to Clovis, "As for you, Mr. Clovis. You should be fine Please explain this leak to your chairman Thorn Hill and the core five members of the Interstellar Banking Association!"

Clovis looked extremely gloomy and did not speak.

...

Anakin-Skywalker ran to the corner of the palace and wanted to use the communicator to report the situation here first, but found that the global communication interference had been turned on here, and no messages could be sent at all.

Then he tried to leave the palace and go to the spaceport, but found that the road was also blocked. At first, security robots came over and blocked all the entrances and exits. Although these robots were more polite and didn't show their weapons, they still couldn't rush out unless he took out his lightsaber.

The biggest problem now is that he can't use the lightsaber. Otherwise, if the Jedi Knights trespassed on the heart of the Trade Federation, no matter what you finally found out from it, it would cause an uproar.

However, at this time, he suddenly saw a few robots escorting Padme towards the basement from a distance, and his heart was even more furious!

He quietly found Rock-Johnson, and handed the storage to him, and Johnson immediately connected the storage to copy all the contents into his own memory, and then Anakin took the storage again and followed it all the way to the basement .

He came directly in front of Rush Clovis, raised his hands, showed the memory in his hand and said: "The thing is with me! This is your incriminating evidence! Let go of Pa... Senator Your Excellency, I will give the thing to you .”

"You despicable Republic spies! You should all die!" Lot Dud cursed.

Rush Clovis said: "You give me the things, and after confirming that they are correct, I will let Padmé go back."

"That's impossible!" Lott-Dude exclaimed.

"Nothing is impossible! The most important thing now is to get the things back first!" Clovis said sharply, and then he turned to Anakin, "You are Padmé's driver, you should know me. I It's Rush Clovis, representative of the Scipio sector, a member of the Interstellar Banking Association! My word is as good as it gets! You give me the things, and I will let Padmé go!"

Anakin-Skywalker pretended to hesitate, thought for a while, and then said, "Well, I believe you."

He lost the memory to Clovis.

Clovis immediately checked in his personal terminal and found that the memory was indeed the investment plan for the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier, so he nodded and said to Lott-Dude: "This is the plan, let me go."

"Impossible!" Lott-Dude sneered, "Don't think that this matter is over, Mr. Clovis. You must know that this is an extremely serious leak! And you are the first person responsible! You Do you think that if you just take the things back and release the person, this matter will not exist?"

He pointed to Padmé and said: "As soon as this person returns to the parliament, he will immediately tell what he has seen and heard!"

"There is no evidence, no one will believe what she heard! Let people go!" Clovis said sharply.

Lott-Dude grinned, "Dream, Clovis! Hehehehe, you have today too? When you bossed us around in front of us, did you ever think that there would be such a huge handle in my hands? Ever since From now on, you have to listen to me in everything!"

Anakin-Skywalker looked at the situation and felt that things were going to get worse. He didn't expect that there were also conflicts between the other party. Just when he was about to grab someone, suddenly, Clovis moved first!

He suddenly took out a table knife from his waist, then grabbed Lot Dude, and put the table knife on his neck!

Lot Dude was stunned by this incident, and the Neimoidians were not a race known for their physical strength, so they were immediately restrained and could not break free at all.

"You... you're crazy! Do you know what you're doing? You kidnapped a trade union executive on the fortune world planet Cato Neimoidia!!" Lot Dude's legs were shaking, Trembling said.

"Let go!" said Clovis, thrusting the knife forward.

Lot Dude was so frightened that he quickly asked the robot to let Padmé go.

While supporting Lot Dude, Clovis said to Padme: "Leave here now, and we will talk about things between us later."

With Lot Dude as a hostage, they headed toward the spaceport, picking up the rest of Padmé's team, including the T-850 droid Rock-Johnson.

Lot Dude was so scared that he almost peed his pants, and let the guards and robots pass all the way, but more and more guards followed them. When they arrived at the spaceport, there were already hundreds of guards and the robot followed.

"The Trade Union will not let it go!" Lot Dude said viciously.

"Of course I'll explain." Rush Clovis said through gritted teeth.

"So this is your own business." At this moment, Anakin Skywalker behind him said suddenly.

Clovis was startled, and before he could react, he felt a sudden push on his back, and then he and Lott-Dude fell forward and rolled into a ball on the ground.

When I looked up again, I found that the pilot had already taken Padmé Amidala onto the Naboo Royal Cruiser, leaving him with a cold look.

"Wait a minute, we should take him..." Padmé seemed to want to say something, but she felt Anakin's hand holding her slightly harder.

When she looked up again, she saw Anakin's determined eyes and understood everything, so she took a step back and stood behind Anakin.
