975. Leak incident
Several robots immediately came over and grabbed Padmé's wrist.
Seeing this scene, Rush-Clovis was furious and rushed over and grabbed Lott Dude by the collar, "What are you doing! Who gave you the courage to arrest a Republic Senator!?"
At this time, Padmé was also there quietly gesturing to Anakin, asking him to take the things out as soon as possible.
Anakin Although he was worried, he still understood the priority of the matter. He immediately took advantage of the chaos here to leave the palace. At least he understood that the people present were all prominent figures in Galactic Republic politics and would not dare to do anything to a congressman.
As for that Separatists Thunbach-Tula, it's even more impossible to make such a decision based on her coward appearance.
Lott-Dude said sharply, "We have seen it through the surveillance! Representative Padmé secretly operated our database host!"
"This is impossible!" Clovis was shocked and quickly ran over to check on the host. When he saw it, he found that the plan on the host was gone.
He sighed deeply, turned to Lott Dude and said, "Okay, this is just an investment plan. You can make a new one for me."
As soon as he heard what he said, Padmé-Amidala realized that he had just done a stupid thing. The fact that she wanted to delay this project was to delay the advent of this super battleship as long as possible.
But in fact, how could such a detailed design of a battleship appear here? As Clovis said, this is just an investment plan.
However, her rash deletion of the plan revealed her true purpose.
Clovis turned around and looked at Padmé, "So everything you told me was a lie, right?... Hand over the things." His words were full of sadness.
"I don't know what you are talking about! But the person who was really deceived is me! It's Galactic Republic!" Padmé said sharply.
"No, you made a huge mistake, Padmé." Clovis waved her hand, and the robot that grabbed her immediately searched in her bag, but found nothing.
"Lock her up! Until the matter is resolved!" Lott Dude waved his hand and motioned for the robot to take Padmé down, and then said to Clovis, "As for you, Mr. Clovis. You should explain this leak to your chairman Thorn Hill and InterGalactic Banking Clan Five-Man Core!"
Clovis looked extremely gloomy and said nothing.
Anakin-Skywalker ran to the corner of the palace and wanted to use the communicator to report the situation here first, but found that global communication interference had been turned on and no message could be sent out at all.
He then tried to leave the palace and go to the spaceport, but found that the same road was blocked. Security robots began to come over and blocked all the entrances and exits. Although these robots were relatively polite and did not show their weapons, they still couldn't get out unless they took out Lightsaber.
The biggest problem now is that he cannot show Lightsaber. Otherwise, if Jedi Knight breaks into the core area of Trade Federation, no matter what you find out in the end, it will cause an uproar.
However, at this time, he suddenly saw several robots escorting Padmé towards the basement from a distance, and he felt even more furious!
He quietly found Rock-Johnson and handed the memory to him. Then Johnson immediately connected to the memory and copied all the contents into his own memory. Then Anakin took the memory again and followed him all the way to the basement.
He came directly in front of Rush-Clovis, raised his hands, showed the memory in his hand and said, "I have the things here! This is your evidence! Let go...Senator, I will give the things to you."
"You despicable Galactic Republic spies! You all deserve to die!" Lott-Dude cursed.
But Rush-Clovis said, "Give me the things. After confirming that they are correct, I will let Padmé go back."
"That's impossible!" cried Lot-Dude.
"Nothing is impossible! The most important thing now is to get the things back first!" Clovis said sternly, then he turned to Anakin, "You are the driver of Padmé, you should know me. I am Rush-Clovis, Scipio sector, InterGalactic Banking Clan Senator! If you give me the things, I will let Padmé go!"
Anakin-Skywalker pretended to hesitate, thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, I believe you."
He threw the memory to Clovis.
Clovis immediately checked in the personal terminal and found that the investment plan of Endless-class Super Carrier was indeed in the memory, so he nodded and said to Lott Dude: "This is the plan, let him go."
"Impossible!" Lott Dude sneered, "Don't think this matter is over, Mr. Clovis. You must know that this is an extremely serious leak of secrets! And you are the first person responsible! Do you think that just by taking the things back and releasing the people, this matter will cease to exist?"
He pointed at Padmé and said, "As soon as this person returns to the parliament, he will tell everything he saw and heard!"
"There is no evidence, no one will believe what she heard! Let her go!" Clovis said sternly.
Lott-Dude laughed ferociously, "Dream, Clovis! Hahahaha, you have today too? When you were bossing around in front of us, did you ever think that there would be such a huge handle in my hands? From now on, you have to listen to me in everything!"
Anakin-Skywalker When he saw this situation, he felt that things were about to get worse. He did not expect that there was also a conflict between the other people. Just when he was about to grab someone, suddenly, Clovis moved first!
He suddenly took out a table knife from his waist, then grabbed Lot Dude and put the table knife on his neck!
Lott-Dude was stunned by this turn of events. In addition, Neimoidian was not a race known for its physical strength. He was immediately restrained and unable to break free.
"You... you are crazy! Do you know what you are doing? You kidnapped a Trade Federation executive on Wealth World Kato-Neimoidia!!" Lott Dude said in a trembling voice with his legs shaking.
"Let him go!" Clovis said, pushing the knife forward.
Lott-Dude was so frightened that he quickly asked the robot to let Padmé go.
Clovis said to Padmé while holding Lott Dude: "Leave here now, and we will talk about the matter between us later."
They took Lot Dude as a hostage and walked all the way to the space port. On the way, they also picked up other members of the Padmé team, including the T-850 robots Rock-Johnson.
Lott-Dude was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He let all Guardian and robots pass along the way, but more and more Guardian followed them. When they arrived at the spaceport, there were actually hundreds of Guardian and robots following them.
"Trade Federation, you won't give up!" Lott Dude said viciously.
"Of course I will explain." Rush-Clovis said through gritted teeth.
"So this is your own business." At this time, Anakin-Skywalker behind him said suddenly.
Clovis was shocked. Before he could react, he felt someone push him hard on his back. Then he and Lott Dude fell forward and rolled into a ball on the ground.
When he looked up again, he found that the pilot had already taken Padmé-Amidala onto the Naboo Royal Cruiser, leaving him with a cold look.
"Wait a minute, we should take him..." Padmé seemed to want to say something, but she felt Anakin's hand holding hers slightly harder.
When she looked up again, she saw Anakin's determined eyes and understood everything, so she took a step back and stood behind Anakin.
