Qu Jianlei was rather speechless upon hearing the news. Everyone had their own side of the story.
He could understand the clan head's fury. Being treated like a chess piece felt terrible.
The other side had ignored the possibility of casualties among their family just to pad their performance record—after all, it wasn't their family members dying.
But the authorities' explanation was not entirely unreasonable either.
In the end, if one wanted to live safely and happily in Imperial society, one could not place all one's hopes on the authorities.
Most Imperial citizens were used to relying on themselves. They had no mindset of waiting, depending, and demanding.
The Ya Yi'an Family was so furious mainly because they had Digital Phantom backing them.
If they had truly been ordinary citizens, they could only have swallowed their broken teeth. But these people had somewhere to lodge their complaints.
Still, Qu Jianlei did not let them down. If he said he would protect their family, then he would protect them!
Not to mention that the incident had happened because Digital Phantom had participated in the press conference.
So he had Shui Xisheng notify the Silverwing authorities: he was giving them only half a month to capture everyone involved in the attack! And as for the missing person, even if all they could find were scraps of flesh or ashes, they had to find them for him!
Otherwise, they would bear all consequences themselves! What the Silverwing planetary authorities thought upon receiving the notice was unknown, and Qu Jianlei had no interest in finding out.
They were not especially close to the authorities. At most, some big shot from the Imperial government had attended their press conference.
But if anyone dared disregard Digital Phantom's warning, they could wait and see the consequences.
