With Gain and Caesar in tow, Logo arrived at the Guta Federation's Industrial and Commercial Department on the 111th floor. After submitting the "Registration Application Form," company articles of association, shareholder qualification certificates, and other materials, the application was approved in just half an hour, and Ruibeite Company was officially established.

On the Planet Guta, setting up a company is not difficult; the real challenge lies in carving out a bloody path through a sea of competitors. With thousands vying for a single spot, only a handful succeed.

However, Logo possesses countless technologies far surpassing those of the Elven Plane, so the rise of Ruibeite Company is only a matter of time. In fact, he needs to control the company's development speed and not attract too much attention, at least in the early stages, he needs to keep a low profile.

And so, the Ruibete Group, which would later become famous throughout the entire Astral Realm, was established in the Cloud-Touching Tower on the Planet Guta, with an initial registered capital of only one million Ta Pound.

After carefully putting away the relevant certificates issued by the Ancient Guta Federation, Logo, accompanied by two bodyguards, left the 111th floor, took the central elevator, and headed to the 65th floor.

He's going to attend a high-end auction.

After getting off the elevator, Logo walked down a spacious and grand corridor, flanked by various intelligent creatures, mostly humanoid.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from behind. Logo stopped and turned around. A dozen guards wearing the distinctive individual mechs of the Planet Guta were divided into two groups and led the way.

An elderly Guta Star People, dressed in a magnificent and exquisite robe, walked quickly forward with a tense expression.

The old man had medals hanging on his chest, and he exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger, clearly indicating that he had long held a high position.

At this moment, whispers arose from the people around him. Although the voices were low, Logo listened carefully to them.

"Isn't that Kate Pushkin, the Deputy Minister of Trade and Economic Affairs? I've seen him on television."

"That's right, it's him. Why would such an important person suddenly appear? Is he also here for the auction?"

"Who knows? Judging from this big shot's expression, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood. He's probably in trouble."

Hearing these comments, Logo's ears twitched slightly. He quickly recalled relevant information about this person in his mind, and his Eye of Insight also subtly flashed as he looked at the Deputy Minister of Trade and Economic Affairs of the Guta Federation.

However, before he could take a second look, Kate suddenly stopped, her expression changing slightly, looking surprised and uncertain.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm being watched?" Kate wondered, glancing around.

Kate's actions caused the guards to immediately go on high alert and surround him.

The surrounding crowd, seeing this commotion, erupted in chaos, quickly distancing themselves from the important figure, thinking that some shocking assassination attempt was about to occur in the Federation.

After a while, Kate suspiciously withdrew her gaze, waved her hand, and said, "Alright, I probably misperceived something. Let's keep going."

Having said that, Kate took the lead and walked deeper into the corridor.

The guards quickly followed.

The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief, secretly grumbling to themselves.

Why are you making such a fuss if nothing's wrong?

It was terrifying!

Only Logo remained silent, his eyelids lowered.

He secretly thought to himself, "That was close!"

"This old guy's senses are really sharp; he must be at least Epic- level being, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to detect the Eye of Eye of Insight."

"But, according to the database, this Deputy Minister Kate doesn't seem to be at the Legendary rank yet..."

Logo narrowed his eyes, and a rudimentary information panel had already formed in his Eye of Insight.

Due to the significant difference in strength, the panel is incomplete.

But one of them was something Logo took very seriously.

That's the last column, "Status".

Status: Mental Distortion

Besides, there was a certain aura about Kate that gave Logo a very familiar feeling.

"Dark Flesh!"

Logo murmured to himself, his mind involuntarily flashing back to the mysterious flesh and blood floating in the shattered space of the Underdark.

The body tissues left behind by some unknown being still full of vitality even after a long period of time.

His eyes flickered a few times, Logo's lips curled into a slight smile. "Interesting!"

He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"Is this an isolated case, or..." Logo murmured to himself, a silent flame rising in the depths of his eyes.

A luxurious room.

Kate entered with a sullen face.

A middle-aged Guta Star People dressed in a well-tailored suit stood up. This man was Lundan Simenga, chairman of the Ximenjia Consortium of the Guta Federation.

"Haven't they found him yet?" Kate asked, her brow furrowed.

"No!" Lundan shook his head helplessly. "This guy has a special racial talent, so divination isn't very useful for him. We can only slowly screen him."

Fortunately, his position was limited, and he didn't know many secrets.

The Central Intelligence Agency has already deployed multiple agent teams, utilizing the central intelligence of Cloud-Touching Tower for a rapid investigation. They believe it won't be long before they capture him.

After listening to Lundan's words, Kate still looked worried. "Are you sure this will work? What if he doesn't cooperate after we catch him?"

Lundan shook his head slightly. "It's unlikely. According to my team's professional analysis, Reiner's mental fortitude isn't strong; he's very afraid of death. As long as we can hold his life in our hands, we don't need to worry about him not cooperating!"

"Let's hope so, otherwise, we'll both have to give up this identity."

Kate sighed; he was too deeply involved with the Ximenjia Consortium.

If Reiner exposes the truth, while Lundan will certainly be in big trouble, he will also be held responsible.
