Chapter 358 Partner, Subversive

After the meeting, Daphne left the Ascension Laboratory with Director Ino's orders.

In the lounge of a light battleship, Daphne's mind was still spinning the voices she had just heard.

Those, those old men who truly controlled all the resources of this empire and could replace an emperor at any time, just appeared in front of him, using projection to appear in the conference room.

And all those old people saw her, the young princess of the empire.

At that moment, Daphne always felt like her previous life was in vain.

Some of these old people have been reported dead long ago, but they are still alive, with life spans exceeding three to four hundred years... Director Ino is actually a junior...

In the meeting just now, the old people only discussed three topics.

1. Should the white ghost be killed or kept, and how to kill it.

Second, the new candidate for the next emperor, and how to make Gehari harmless in the future.

Third, whether the threat of the new federal CIA can be directly eliminated through all-out war to deter the galactic countries that are ready to take action.

Daphne suddenly understood at this moment.

Power can never be concentrated in one person, and the so-called emperor is just a facade.

Daphne actually wanted to thank Hanton, thanking him for waking her up with just one word.

'If you are completely controlled by the other party, you will never become their kind.'

She had tried very hard to behave in front of Uncle Ino, being well-behaved, sensible, and aware of the overall situation, but she had been unable to get in touch with this circle. However, in the past two months, she tried to express some ideas that were different from those of her uncle, and instead gained

The ticket to enter this circle.

Daphne chuckled, then thought of some pictures, and her expression became a little cold.

This guy!

She will definitely let him be used for herself!

"Your Highness, where should we go next?"

Daphne asked softly: "Where is the white ghost being held?"

"This needs to be verified. This is news that has not been announced to the public."

The maid on the side spoke softly, lowered her head and operated the network terminal for a while, then quickly raised her head and said:

"It was at the Noble Court Detention Center on Yaha Star, a prison specifically for aristocratic criminals. Earl Hanton was sentenced to half a year in prison, but his title and territory remained unchanged."

"Just go to his place," Daphne said, "Don't announce the news to the outside world. This time I'm visiting in secret. Contact the manager there in advance. I need a room with better confidentiality."

"Yes, Your Highness."

…

Daphne really didn't expect it.

A criminal, a criminal who had offended the royal family, could actually enjoy such special care in a noble prison.

When she arrived at the prison, the warden personally received her, but as soon as she mentioned that she wanted to see the white ghost, the warden became confused.

The warden sighed: "Well, this is not a question of whether you want to see him or not, but... a question of whether he wants to see you or not."

Daphne frowned slightly, keeping the charming smile on her face, and said: "Huh?"

"He doesn't accept visits from anyone. We asked Earl of Hamton for permission before you came. Earl of Hamton said that he is not in the mood to meet you now."

Daphne's smile was a little stiff.

"But, sir, isn't he a noble whose freedom has been restricted?"

"But you must also consider that this is a great god..."

The warden had a frown on his face. He really wanted to say it was the God of Plague, but he didn't dare to speak.

He said slowly:

"Earl Hanton's situation is very special. He has the ability to leave here at any time. This is one of them.

"We are being held secretly, but the news leaked out somehow. There are now one or two thousand reporters outside the prison, all waiting for any sign of the white ghost. This is the second one.

"You know Earl Hanton's appeal among hundreds of billions of civilians in the empire. This time he beat the prince, which made his reputation rise to a higher level again.

"In the eyes of the common people, he is simply the supervisor of the imperial power, the nightmare of the nobles, and the leader who can guide the future development of the empire..."

"Sir!" Daphne said with a solemn look on her face, "What you said is a bit too much."

The warden immediately started talking:

"Hey, Your Highness, this is what the civilians said, not us.

“It’s been really hard for us lately!

"The instructions given to us by the Supreme Court are to be detained secretly and treated as normal. The instructions given to us by the Council of Elders are to make no mistakes and to impose minor punishments. The instructions given to us by the military are to be treated well and not to be neglected.

"I really……

"I've prepared my resignation letter! It's just sitting in my office! If this great master wants to leave, I won't even dare to stop him. I'll just submit my resignation letter first!"

Daphne couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead: "Okay, I understand. There's no need for you to complain. Since he doesn't want to see me, I'll go see him."

"Hey! This!"

The warden suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "You see, Earl Hanton may not be feeling well. You..."

"Are you mind controlled by him?"

"Of course not, of course not. Earl Hanton has always been very easy-going and has not used his super powers. Okay, come this way, I will take you to the control room to take a look first."

Daphne nodded slightly and agreed.

A few minutes later, Daphne looked at the picture on the large projection screen, her smooth and fair face couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Is this a prison?

In the center of the picture is a steaming swimming pool.

Beside the heated pool, the young man was sitting with his back to her. The muscle outline on his back was like a butterfly spreading its wings, exuding a masculine spirit that was a mixture of wildness and gentleness.

Behind the man, several young men in prison uniforms stood in a row with their hands behind their backs.

There were trays floating on the water, containing various expensive and rare fruits. On the opposite side of the pool, the stage performance of the popular girl group was playing on the projection screen.

"this?"

"Understand, please understand more," the warden whispered, "White Ghost, Hero of the Empire."

Daphne shook her head slightly, and then said: "Excuse me, please tell him that I am here waiting for him to receive you. I will go to see him whenever it is convenient for him, no matter how long it takes."

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll go and tell you right now, and I promise to bring you the words intact."

"Does he still have the Imperial Code in his eyes?" Daphne couldn't help complaining, "Isn't the most important thing here to warn and punish criminals?"

The warden looked embarrassed, lowered his head and left quickly.

The operators just lowered their heads and said nothing, looking as normal.

They have seen many similar scenes in the past two months.

So, Daphne waited for seven standard galactic days, and finally saw this man with a smile on his face in the warden's office.

"Hello, Your Highness Daphne."

Yang Ming sat in the warden's high-end chair, turning back and forth with his toes as support, and holding a book he was flipping through in his hand.

The prison uniform on his body formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment, which made Daphne only feel a little ironic.

Yang Ming said warmly: "Long time no see. I'm glad to hear that you're okay and that your brother Gehari is under house arrest. It's obvious that you won this palace political battle."

"thanks to you."

Daphne handed the handbag to the maid aside, turned around and said: "Prince Governor, can you please step aside?"

"Of course, of course!"

The maid and the warden retreated out of the door together. When the warden closed the door, there was still a hint of gossip in his eyes.

Yang Ming smiled and asked: "Director Ino, do you want to see me for something?"

"Well," Daphne sat across from the desk, still sitting in an elegant and decent posture, and said calmly, "I have three things, or three pieces of news, to convey to you."

"speak."

"I'm not your subordinate!"

Daphne glared at Yang Ming, then took a deep breath, let herself smile, and said warmly:

"We'll talk about it later.

"The first thing is that the institute is preparing to hand over the Ancient God Cell Group to you; the second thing is that the institute is considering conducting Captain Catherine's dimensionality enhancement experiment in advance; the third thing is that we have detected an abnormality in the new federal agent's behavior.

Active, we hope to use your power to eliminate these agent teams."

"us?"

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Congratulations."

"Thanks to you," Daphne said, "your words have awakened me. I should show my rebellion and independence appropriately and provide them with more ideas instead of blindly following their orders.
