"So, we can certainly form an alliance, and once the experts from the Gundy Family arrive, it won’t be just the Suns who call the shots anymore; instead, we’ll enter a phase of joint rule,"
"As for our family, we have significant interests and deep investments in mechanical augmentation, and we are willing to pay a great price for access to the Unobtainium mine here. By that time, the Suns will definitely want to secure our alliance, and it’s highly likely they will yield to us..."
The endless chatter from Pavas made Tao Yu sigh inwardly, realizing that this was indeed the main driving force behind the Eng family’s actions.
Without benefits and advantages, they indeed wouldn’t take the risk.
"That makes a lot of sense,"
Tao Yu nodded, then began to strip away the remaining Yuan Force equipment from Pavas’s body.
"If you want these, I can give them to you. We can afford the price, and let it serve as a welcoming gift for our alliance. However, please leave the personal teleportation device with me, and I can compensate you with something of equal value next time,"
These pieces of Yuan Force equipment had their own ’proprietary’ nature with various backdoors and traps, but Tao Yu simply didn’t want to waste them; he planned to absorb the Yuan Force and not to use them himself.
However, the personal teleportation device could be given to the young heiress to help her understand some of the issues involved.
Tao Yu had examined the device; it was secured with an activation password and was useless in hand.
Perhaps the Suns were already aware of the underlying currents here, or else the young heiress wouldn’t have mentioned the worst-case scenario before.
They just might not know the details.
"I really appreciate the welcome gift, thank you."
No sooner had he expressed his gratitude, Tao Yu raised his hand and blew Pavas’s head off.
Concerned it wasn’t enough, he instantly made a single-handed Hand Seal, and a fire dragon emerged in an instant, devoured the body!
If it weren’t for the world of Pandora World suppressing his powers, Tao Yu would have liked to unleash the Yin-Yang Five Elements Divine Thunder.
While the fire continued to burn Pavas’s body, Tao Yu held out hope that something similar to a ’privilege’ might drop from this guy.

And, sure enough, as the body burned, some residual Yuan Force lingered on the spot, indicating something inside his body.
Tao Yu’s shadow shifted, entering directly into the burning corpse to search incessantly, then from his neck and spine, directly pulled out a mechanical implant covered with some mucus, resembling a vertebral bone.
This was somewhat disappointing for Tao Yu.
On the mechanical augmentation side, it seemed their family did indeed have some achievements, but even so, Pavas only had this one implant, which should be no trivial thing.
"The guy didn’t look like he had mechanical implants, and my Spirit Perception didn’t detect the threat of an explosion; this thing shouldn’t be a bomb..."
Tao Yu cautiously checked with his shadow and then read the clean, unpolluted information.
[Neural Reflex Acceleration Module]: Cursed by a certain bloodline family, non-family members cannot implant. It can stimulate neural reflexes at critical moments to enhance body function, achieving a momentary Acceleration effect with the specific effect depending on the user’s affinity and load, with an upper limit of five times.
Seeing the contents of the module, Tao Yu was amazed.
Wow, a beggar’s version of inborn time acceleration?
Although it didn’t involve the concept of time as Inherent Time Control did and the load was undoubtedly beyond imagination, with probably very limited actions possible during Acceleration, and not integrated with many abilities like Tao Yu himself could,
But it’s undeniable that just relying on an implant to achieve such a resemblance is extremely powerful!
"No wonder his response speed suddenly increased with that last strike of mine, it was because of the stimulation from this device. I thought so; he managed to struggle a bit under my ambush, which is not normal."
Even using the Sealing Skill to capture him alive, Tao Yu should also have exceeded the opponent’s reactions.
But alas, it was an implant, and although Tao Yu was momentarily tempted, he ultimately shook his head, sealed the item capable of absorbing a hundred thousand Yuan Force into a scroll, and threw it into the Corpse Hiding Mirror.
Since it had a blood curse and couldn’t be given to others, and he didn’t use it himself, he would first ask the young heiress if there were any potential risks. If not, he could install it in a Zombie or find a way to fit it into a future flying mount.
"However, it looks like the Pavas family might be stronger, the Suns inheritance of power might just be this one, but the Pavas family’s modules might not be limited to one..."
No wonder he said they had their own achievements on the mechanical augmentation front, but the mechanical implants in the Floating City and the Inner City are completely different; this is a much higher level...
