Zheng Daoxing did not knock. He pushed open the door and hurriedly walked in.
Galostan, who was frowning at a map on the table in the room, heard the voice and looked up at him. He frowned and asked, “How is it?”
Zheng Daoxing shook his head and said in a low voice, “I still can’t contact them. I’ve asked the other students, but there’s no news from them.”
Galostan’s frown deepened. After thinking in silence for a moment, he slapped the table with a muffled bang.
“Find them! We must find them!”
Zheng Daoxing smiled bitterly, “Find? How can we find it? This is not the Earth Federation. This lousy planet is not even covered by the Milky Way Network. If we go to the wilderness, it’s impossible to find them without clues.”
“We have to find them!” Galostan said firmly. He thought for a moment and opened his personal terminal as he asked Zheng Daoxing, “I remember that the White Swan Fleet of the Federation Army happened to be on a friendly military visit to the United States of Melaita recently, right?”
Zheng Daoxing was stunned, then nodded. “Yes, before we set off, we even saw the news that the White Swan Fleet has already set off. From the schedule, they should be in the United States of Melaita now.”
Then, he was shocked and asked, “Do you plan to ask them for help? How can that do?”
“Why not?” Galostan raised his head. “They’re the Federation’s army. Now that our citizens are in danger, why can’t we ask them for help? Apart from that, contact the Federation Embassy in the United States of Melaita and ask for their help.”
“But we’re in the Sapphire Star Field now, not in the United States of Melaita…”
“This place is the closest to the United States of Melaita.” Galostan waved his hand and stopped Zheng Daoxing from continuing to refute. He thought for a moment and asked, “Right, check if there are any Federation civilian organizations operating nearby recently. If we can seek their help, the chances of finding those two fellows will be greater.”
Zheng Daoxing frowned, “Is there really a need to mobilize so many people? In the end, the ones who disappeared were only two ordinary students of our Star Cloud Academy. The others won’t help us.”
......
“No, they’re not ordinary at all.” Galostan’s expression was serious as he said seriously, “There’s no need to say anything more about Angie Prairie. She’s the only disciple of Supremacy Oville. If anything happens to her, none of us can predict what she’ll do. Even Chu Nan, although he doesn’t have a Star-Grade Martial Artist as his master, you should know his influence in the federation. If something happens to a young martial artist like him while studying in our Star Cloud Academy, can you imagine the pressure our academy will face?”
Feeling the huge pressure in Galostan’s words, Zheng Daoxing could not help but reach out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
“Actually, we don’t have to be so panicked… They’ve only lost contact for less than two days. Nothing serious happened…”
Galostan glanced at Zheng Daoxing, who immediately shut up obediently. He opened his personal terminal and started to inquire.
After a while, Zheng Daoxing exhaled and reported to Galostan, “The embassy has expressed that they don’t have the ability to interfere in the matters of the Sapphire Star Field, but they will try their best to contact the Melaita United Caravan that is related to the embassy and is currently in the Sapphire Star Field to obtain their help. As for our Earth Federation… a caravan happened to come to the Sapphire Star Field in the past few days. This caravan belongs to… Wait!”
Zheng Daoxing suddenly revealed a happy expression.
Galostan looked at him in surprise.
Zheng Daoxing stared at the virtual screen and carefully read it twice before laughing.
“That’s great! This caravan hired a fleet of the Seres Security Company to protect them along the way. It’s estimated that they’ll arrive at noon on the 23rd of Earth, which is the local time of Planet Leppler, tonight!”
“Really?” Hearing this news, Galostan was also happy. “Contact the Seres Security Company immediately and apply for security from them. Ask them to assist us in finding these two students!”
Zheng Daoxing glanced at Galostan suspiciously.
Galostan had just expressed that he was chasing after him to contact the White Swan Fleet, but now, he did not mention this at all. Could it be that there was a problem with the contact?
Zheng Daoxing tactfully did not ask further. He found the contact number of the Seres Security Company through the Milky Way Network and quickly obtained it. Then, he submitted the problem and need he had encountered.
As expected of the top company in the Earth Federation, the Seres Security Company quickly replied.
However, regarding the help of the Seres Security Fleet that they proposed to reach the Sapphire Star Field, the company expressed that they were helpless.
Zheng Daoxing had negotiated with them for a long time, but the Seres Security Company had always said that they had signed an agreement with that caravan. Due to the agreement, that fleet could not casually accept additional work.
However, during the negotiation, the Seres Security Company secretly gave a hint, indicating that if they could obtain the agreement of that caravan, they could help.
Therefore, Zheng Daoxing could only inquire about the situation of this caravan again.
Fortunately, this was a large caravan and its destination was the Sapphire Star Field. It was also a major event in the business world in the Earth Federation and could be easily investigated.
After a few more rounds, Zheng Daoxing finally relied on his relationship with Star Cloud Academy to contact one of the people in charge of the caravan.
However, after hearing Zheng Daoxing’s request, this person-in-charge revealed a difficult expression.
“This… Director Zheng, I understand your worry and hope to help you find those two students in time. However, our caravan’s schedule is very tight. I’m afraid it’s very difficult to free up so much time. Moreover, I believe you know very well that the Sapphire Star Field is a chaotic Star Field. Our caravan is huge and is very easy to encounter unexpected danger from all sides. The security mission is very important…”
Beside him, Galostan could not help but groan.
After talking for a long time, the person in charge still wanted to reject.
This was not strange. Although Star Cloud Academy had a very high status in the Earth Federation, to businessmen like them, if there were no practical benefits, it was almost impossible to expect them to help.
Zheng Daoxing secretly gestured at Galostan, hoping that he would agree to some of the other party’s conditions so that he would agree to help.
Galostan frowned slightly. Just as he was thinking about what conditions to use to move this person in charge, a person suddenly appeared from the virtual screen opposite him.
“Hello, Director Zheng, right? I heard you say that two of your students are missing. May I ask the names of those two students?”
