1182. Congressman's Son (Part 2)

Suo-Gerrera's words made Lux's heart surge, and he responded loudly, "Don't worry! I will definitely prove myself!! Let's start by destroying this THOR!! I'll go back now, and I will get more information!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

Suo-Gerrera looked at his back, smiled, then picked up the intelligence document Lux placed on the table, and frowned at the terrifying weapon glimpsed in the picture.

"How could you tell Lux like this! Don't you know the risks he took on this matter?" Stila walked over and asked.

"Each of us is taking risks, and it is the risk of death." Suo-Gerrera said coldly.

"You're turning a child against his mother!"

"His mother is a member of Separatists, and she is one of the people who enslaved us! This is not worthy of sympathy!"

"I heard that Mina-Bontri is also a very enlightened congressman. She has been fighting for peace on our planet! Your approach may cause us to lose a strong supporter!"

"Then guess, when Mina-Bontri stands in front of us, will she pat us on the shoulder and say, 'Well done, good friends,' or will she immediately call in a large number of robots to arrest us?"

"Your approach has become more and more extreme, Suo-Gerrera! I can't agree with it!"

"I don't need your approval, I just need you to be obedient."

"You are not our leader, nor is anyone here, we are equal brothers!"

"I can lead everyone to destroy this secret weapon THOR!"

Lux-Bontri returned home, only to find that his mother Mina-Bontri was already standing at the door.

She still had short, capable hair, and her long-term position in a high position also made her extraordinary. She glanced at Lux and said angrily, "You missed military training again, Lux! Where did you go to hang out with your friends this time? I told you, Onderon is not in peace now! You may be in danger at any time!"

"The biggest danger we encounter is those cold-blooded robots that have no sympathy." Lux said coldly.

"Your idea is very dangerous, Lux. You must know that these robots protect our safety!" Mina-Bontri said.

"Then why isn't our Royal Guard protecting us? Admit it! We are a planet enslaved by robots!" Lux said loudly.

"This is because we don't want the sparsely populated Onderon residents to bleed and die on the battlefield! And all this can be done by robots!" Mina's face darkened, "You should look less at the so-called free speech and more at the reality! Our fiscal revenue, the food and daily necessities we import, how do these things come from!"

"Yes, that's very well said. This is what it feels like to be held captive by a robot." Lux snorted coldly, turned around, pushed the approaching robot butler away, and entered the house.

Mina-Bontri looked at his son's back and sighed. Her son didn't understand the current situation at all, let alone her efforts.

She doesn't know about the exploitation and oppression of the planet by the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Tyran Heavy Industries, and she doesn't want to get rid of this position. But from her perspective, the first thing she has to ensure is the livelihood of the people on her planet. At the very least, they can have enough to eat.

Those Rebel Alliances under the banner of freedom have never thought that if they really overthrew the rule of those Mega-corporationss on Onderon, how many people would be killed by the ensuing unemployment, chaos, and famine?

Everything can only be done step by step, and at least Confederacy of Independent Systems is undergoing some changes now, which makes her feel that she can still see hope.

Since the highly respected Ainlee-Senator Tim returned to Confederacy of Independent Systems, Rim Faction was re-established with him as the core. Rim Faction is now in the political arena of Confederacy of Independent Systems, appearing from the position of the opposition. They constantly question Count Dooku's motions, and think more from the standpoint of those planets themselves.

One of the most significant changes in doing so is that Mega-corporations are no longer the ones who speak out among Confederacy of Independent Systems, so that they can no longer exploit those planets unscrupulously, and more or less give up their astonishingly high profits to make the lives of these planets easier.

The fate of Merchant Guilds, which is now close to being dismantled, has indeed made these Mega-corporations converge a lot.

Mina-Bontri is now one of the members of Rim Faction.

She believes that through her work and efforts, Onderon will be able to move in a better direction. The reason why she had a rare vacation to come back to rest this time was because she achieved an important victory - lowering the production cost quotation of Behemoth-class battlecruiser to 85 million credit points.

The reduction in costs allowed her to finally secure better working conditions and benefits for workers in related industries.

But what she didn't expect was that when she returned home, her son was the one who least understood her...

Mina-Bontri sighed and returned to the house.

At night, after everyone went to sleep, Lux-Bontri quietly woke up, then opened his personal terminal and started running a mysterious program.

After a while, the program showed that the connection was passed. Enter it again. It turned out to be the personal computer data of his mother, Onderon Councilor Mina-Bontri!

This program was given to him by a computer expert in the Rebel Alliance. It is said that he also got this most advanced hacking program from Jedi Knight. So Lux quietly installed this program in his mother's computer terminal, so that he could obtain some important information about Onderon through his mother's computer.

Rebel Alliance's recent many successful attacks came from this intelligence.

Lux believes that through his own efforts, the people of Onderon will be able to get rid of the rule of robots and gain freedom!

He carefully searched for information about THOR in his mother's database, and finally, he found a message!

The signature of the message was Kalani. Lux thought about it and realized that he didn't know this person. Maybe he was his mother's colleague in the government?

The content of this message is to ask Mina-Bontri to handle the weapons test work in a nearby valley test site three days later, and also indicates the test process and route.

Mina-Bontri seemed a little strange about this message. She replied to the person named Kalani that weapons testing was not something she, Council Representative, was responsible for.

Kalani replied that he was sorry, he was new here and was not familiar with Onderon's administrative system.

But Lux didn't pay attention to the following conversations. He just looked at the message and his heart beat violently, "This is it! This must be THOR!!!"
