"Hehe. Hehehehe!"
Boss Bai sneered nonstop. His face that was as sharp as a rat's was so hideous that it could swallow a tiger alive. He picked up Zuo Tianying, the Yuanying expert, with only one hand and smashed him to the ground brutally.
Boom!
Not counting the spiritual energy, Zuo Tianying was a muscular man almost two meters tall and weighing almost three hundred kilograms. Yet, he was "pressed" into the floor by Boss Bai who was thin and short. Broken stones were spluttering, and the rebars were broken. A human-shaped pit appeared on the ground.
Zuo Tianying's internal organs were almost shattered. His head was in a mess, and he could not figure it out at all. According to the intelligence, this Boss Bai was in the Yuanying Stage at best, on par with him.
It was also the prerequisite for him to meet such a brutal man as Boss Bai in private.
The Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors had the best intelligence work in the entire Imperium. They had analyzed all of Boss Bai's battles, including his performance when he was besieged by the army of the Imperium, in order to figure out his combat ability.
How could he be so terrifying?
Was it possible that Boss Bai did not try his best even when he was surrounded and hunted by the soldiers of the Imperium and forced to the limits of his life time and time again?
How could there be such a monster?
Also, where were the executioners that he had arranged outside? He had arranged fifty tough executioners next to the office and in the mezzanine, who could rush out and show Boss Bai the capabilities of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. Where were all those people?
"You peddlers truly have the bad habit of being calculative. You are so stingy even when you make promises."
Old Bai pressed Zuo Tianying to the ground and spat next to his head. He chuckled and said, "You are just a commander of a garrison fleet in a Sector, a major general of the Imperium, and a f * cking viscount … viscount! Are you trying to recruit me or insult me? Is my name, 'Boss Bai', only worth a viscount of the Imperium?
"The four Kurfürsten, on the other hand, are obviously much more sincere than you. Their price is the Sector Master of an entire Sector, a lieutenant general of the Imperium's army, and an honorable count of the Imperium. Do you hear me? An earl!"
"Besides, they even gave me ten main warships in advance. Their firepower is three to five times more ferocious than the rapid-attack warships you gave me. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Any man would be tempted by them. How do you want me to choose, huh?"
Zuo Tianying was so shocked that his soul was almost frozen. Unable to catch his breath, he shrieked, "Boss Bai, you've joined the 'false lords'!"
"I don't care if he's a real monkey or a fake monkey. So what if he's a gorilla? Everybody was a space pirate, making a living between the stars and the blades. Wasn't it only natural that they would work for whoever offered them more money and who was stronger? The four Kurfürsten are far stronger than the reformists and the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors in the first place. They offer a lot of money and a lot of great positions. Why would I join a bunch of worthless scumbags like you instead of joining them in the first place? Would my family be executed together with you? "
Boss Bai clenched his fists tighter and tighter. He said with a smile, "Right, I almost forgot to tell you. Didn't you want to establish an alliance of dozens of pirate gangs? There's no need to bother. We've already done it under the witness of the special envoys of the Kurfürsten! Thanks to your good friends' high opinion of me, they have elected me as their leader a long time ago. However, they call me commander instead of leader. I'm the commander of the 'National Protection Army'.
"This commander is much more awesome than the commander that you're going to confer on me. Haha. Hahahaha!"
Zuo Tianying's face was as pale as ash. There was no telling whether it was because of Boss Bai's grip or because he was infuriated, but he was cramping and foaming at the mouth despite being a great Yuanying.
"Just look at the pirate gangs outside. Do you think that they've gathered here to pledge loyalty to you because they've been attracted by your offers? You can't be more idiotic! "
Boss Bai continued, "Let me tell you. The twenty-nine pirate gangs have already established an alliance of blood and established the 'National Protection Army'. They have surrendered to the court and pledged their loyalty to the government, becoming the legitimate army of the Imperium. The conquest of the Blue Sky Market this time is just an appetizer. The 'Seven Seas Grand Market', the nest of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, is our real target!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Seven Seas Grand Market is said to be the richest place at the edge of the Imperium. Many treasures that cannot be found in the capital can be found there. It's almost every space pirate's ultimate dream to rob the Seven Seas Grand Market.
"We are all thieves, murderers, and wretches who will feel itchy all over if we don't rob for a day. Yet, you want to count on people like us to defend the Seven Seas Grand Market? Not that I'm criticizing you, but are the reformists and the small merchants all f * cking out of their heads? "
Zuo Tianying finally couldn't hold it back anymore. A mouthful of foam mixed with blood spurted out crazily. His face turned from pale to green, and from green to gray.
They had led a wolf into their house. It was an out-and-out wolf into their house!
Stupid. They were indeed too stupid. Or rather, they had far underestimated the shamelessness and greed of the space pirates!
But it was already too late for regrets.
The burning flames outside and the incessant explosions were the best punishment for their "naivety".
As one of the five largest free markets in the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, the Blue Sky Market naturally boasted the most thorough defense.
Also, it was now a time of war. The guards in the market had been upgraded to the highest level, too. The meteorite belt outside had been filled with space torpedoes and serial defense arrays.
It would be very difficult for the Kurfürsten's fleet to break into the iron can that was armed to the teeth from the outside. They would have to pay a gory price.
However, the Blue Sky Market was open for business. For the pirate gangs that used to dock, maintain, trade intelligence, and buy assets in this place, they had to be let in.
This time, in order to attract the notorious bandit leaders such as Boss Bai, hundreds of warships of the space pirates had been docked in the dock of the Blue Sky Market. A thousand small- to medium-sized warships, half-armed business ships, and comprehensive supply ships were also anchored outside.
Who could've foreseen that those warships of the space pirates would attack at the same time?
When the space pirates' warships savaged the Blue Sky Market, riddling the defense with holes from the inside to the outside, an enemy that was even more dreadful showed up in the boundless sea of stars. It was the regular army that was engraved with the emblem of the Imperium and the marks of the four Kurfürst families.
Working together with the pirate gangs, the regular army dug through the defense belt at the periphery of the Blue Sky Market by force and arrived above the panicked members of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. It was a real "catastrophe".
When the firepower poured down like a storm and sabotaged the firing points on the ground and the warships of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors that did not have the time to take off in time, the brief battle of assault was already over.
For the "small merchants", the warriors of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors were certainly loyal and brave.
Perhaps they clearly realized that they would be killed even if they surrendered.
Perhaps they used to be space pirates themselves, and they knew how ferocious the pirate gangs were and how cruel it would be to fall into the hands of the space pirates. Therefore, they simply fought until their last breath.
The space pirates were all cunning people who valued the preservation of their strength more than anything else. Faced with the rabid dogs who were determined to die together with them, they naturally avoided them.
However, the Kurfürst's army was determined to take down the tough bone that was the Blue Sky Market, making a beautiful prelude for the coming "battle of Seven Seas". They attacked ferociously without caring about the sacrifices. After half a day, at the cost of a hundred starships burning furiously, they blew up the last fortress that was still resisting.
The Blue Sky Market had fallen.
"Aooo!"
The space pirates rushed inside the Blue Sky Market like wolves and tigers, blowing open the gates of warehouses one after another with their storm bolters. Their eyes bloodshot, they looted the assets on a large scale as if they had gone crazy.
A free market was the ultimate dream of all the space pirates. It was only because the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors was too rich and powerful in the past, and they had to count on the free market for sales and supplies that it was not convenient for them to attack.
But this time, with the support of the four Kurfürst families, they could finally get what they wanted. Naturally, they seized every second to rampage, loot, and vent their anger.
Boss Bai, on the other hand, came to the No. 1 dock of the Blue Sky Market that was still burning with Zuo Tianying, who looked haggard, devastated, and had been tied up by electromagnetic whips.
A hideous starship that looked like a whale with a horn was docked here like a deity from the sky.
A middle-aged man with a face as delicate as a woman's, wearing a pure white fur cloak, with an arrogant and indifferent expression, was waiting impatiently.
He looked at the burning, noisy, and chaotic scene in the Blue Sky Market in disgust, while he wiped his nose that was devoid of any filth softly with a handkerchief embroidered with gold, as if breathing the same air as the space pirates was the dirtiest and most insulting thing in the world.
"My lord!"
Seeing that the guy had been waiting for him for a long time, Boss Bai accelerated and walked over. His arrogance and aggression when he faced Zuo Tianying a moment ago were gone, replaced by a flattering smile. He fell on one of his knees quickly and looked at the guy's feet. "It's an honor to meet my lord. Thanks to my lord's meticulous planning, I was fortunate enough to capture the leader of the rebels in the Blue Sky Market alive. Please take a look, my lord. This is Zuo Tianying!"
Boss Bai tossed Zuo Tianying to the ground as if he were a garbage bag.
Zuo Tianying rolled to the feet of the "lord" and saw the guy face to face. He was immediately back to himself and exclaimed, "Li Wuji!"
This Li Wuji was sort of an old acquaintance, or an old rival, of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors.
He was the hereditary "Marquess Yongchun". Although his title was only a third-class marquess, it had been passed on for five hundred years, suggesting that he was a noble with a rather pure bloodline. In the Li family, one of the four Kurfürst families, he was one of the most powerful men who could mobilize troops.
Also, Li Wuji was more or less in the field of intelligence work in the entire system of the four families. He was specifically targeting, sabotaging, and bribing the intelligence network of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors.
In the past decades, countless intelligence officers of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors had been captured, tortured, and killed by Li Wuji.
Of course, a lot of people had betrayed the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors and joined the four Kurfürst families under threats and temptations, which caused great harm to the development of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors.
