The soldiers assigned to protect him quickly dispersed, examining the surroundings for issues. After ensuring everything was normal, they nodded at Li Longcheng, who then proceeded down the passage, walking straight until he reached the end of the corridor.

This was a secret underground research facility, and in truth, even within the Star Union, few were privy to its secrets. Li Longcheng was here because he had received a message from a confidential source— an A-level member had privately contacted him, claiming to have uncovered the reason for the Tuggy People’s attack on the New Shanxi Colony. Due to the gravity of this matter, the informant insisted on revealing the information only to Li Longcheng personally.

Although Li Longcheng also doubted whether it was a trap, ultimately, he had decided to make the journey himself.

“Click…..”

The door of the research room slowly opened. What appeared before Li Longcheng wasn’t a clean, orderly space, but a place resembling an underground mine. Traces of destruction were still visible. Within this subterranean cavity, a man stood blankly, staring at the stone wall in front of him.

Hearing the door open, he turned his head. His small, sleep-deprived eyes, marked with deep circles, squinted at Li Longcheng.

“Well, well, I really didn’t expect the second-in-command of the Star Union to actually show up here. Honestly, I thought you’d send someone else instead of coming yourself.”

“You should understand why I’ve come here, Dr. Herman.”

Li Longcheng strode into the research room, fixating his gaze on the man before him.

“You said you knew why those aliens attacked the New Shanxi Colony. I came here for a definitive answer.”

Li Longcheng was taking a risk by coming here, but to him, this was a calculated gamble. Until now, no one understood why the Tuggy Fleet suddenly attacked the New Shanxi Colony, even launching an attack on the human fleet. This was the central argument the Pacifist Group made—they insisted that, without knowledge of the enemy’s origins, negotiations should be the initial approach, followed by attempts to understand their intentions over time.

However, Li Longcheng didn’t see it that way. Since the Shenbao Council was an intergalactic political organization of the Milky Way, they should be well aware of the dangers of launching an attack on the colonies of other races. Not every race may be kindhearted and easily bullied; there was always the possibility of counterattacks.

Despite this, the Tuggy Fleet insisted on attacking the New Shanxi Colony, even occupying it until the Star Union launched a counteroffensive and repelled them—an unnatural occurrence.
