Like a cockroach, Luo Jinhu struggled hard under Bai Xinghe's slippers and screamed miserably, "I was wrong, Boss Bai. I'm truly sorry!"
"Of course you were wrong."
Boss Bai stomped on Luo Jinhu's face a few more times before he moved the slippers away from Luo Jinhu's face, leaving dozens of deep footprints.
Luo Jinhu's face was like a potato that had been run over by a wheel.
Bai Xinghe took a long breath in relief. He immediately resumed his pleasant voice. "Ah Hu, what kind of criminals do you think can go unpunished?"
Luo Jinhu was already used to Bai Xinghe's uncanny way of talking. Thinking dutifully for a moment, he hesitated and asked, "Very smart ones?"
"Wrong. Even the most cunning fox cannot defeat the hunter. Even the smartest criminals will be caught sooner or later as long as they don't quit their jobs," Bai Xinghe said casually.
"Only one kind of bad guys can go unpunished, which is that the losses they cause are much smaller than the price that other people have to pay to catch them. Do you understand?
"Forget it. Judging from your innocent eyes, I can tell that you don't understand.
"Let's put it another way. Do you know what 'Senior Yan Xinjian', the supreme space pirate, did after he crushed the coalition fleet of the Cultivators in the battle of Spider Den five hundred years ago?"
Luo Jinhu shook his head pitifully.
Bai Xinghe narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "The supreme space pirate, Dignity Yan Xinjian, gradually gathered power through the war and controlled a force that was absolutely loyal to him. After he crushed the coalition fleet of the Cultivators, he immediately swept across Spider Den unstoppably!
"According to the crimes of all the space pirates, he executed those who had caused public outrage or the disciples of the major sects. All the space pirates who were disobedient and disobedient will be executed! "
"He also sent the videos of the execution of the space pirates to the hands of the Cultivators in secret through underground channels.
"Later, he gathered all the space pirates in the world. He established ten rules, which are what we call the 'Ten Sword Rules' today!
"In every robbery, only two thirds of the loot is taken and one third is left for the victims!
"If there is no resistance, the ordinary people who are robbed are not to be harmed. If the armed personnel drop their magical equipment and surrender, they are not to be harmed, either!
"No raping, no killing of pregnant women and children under the age of ten!"
"You are not allowed to loot the cargo ships that have just been through a cosmic storm!"
"A cargo ship. In one voyage, you are not allowed to plunder twice. If you discover that a fellow Daoist has beaten you to it after boarding the ship, you are not allowed to move a single cent. Retreat immediately! "
"Other than that, there are also five rules. There are ten rules in total. No matter which pirate gang breaks the rules, it will be punished. There was no need for the Cultivators to do anything. Yan Xinjian would be the first to hit him. Beat him to submission, beat him to death! "
"At that time, many people said that Yan Xinjian was an idiot. He had pissed off all the Cultivators, yet he still set up such rules that bound his hands and feet.
"Some people even suspected that Yan Xinjian was a mole sent by the Cultivators. If he hadn't been in the battle to protect Spider Den, he would have been killed. If they beat the cultivators so badly. "
"However, no matter what other people said, the Cultivators never organized a second coalition fleet in the hundred years after Yan Xinjian's death. No second large-scale war broke out! "
"Why? Do you think that they were really scared of Spider Den?"
"Of course not. However, Senior Yan Xinjian clearly told the Cultivators that 'if you want to beat me, you will have to pay a high price. If you don't beat me, I will cause very little damage. I am nothing more than a scabies that is not worth your trouble.'
"Yan Xinjian, the Supreme Space Pirate, was the senior that Bai Xinghe admired the most in his life!
"However, hundreds of years after his death, you short-sighted idiots who were blinded by greed did not know how to restrain yourselves at all. The 'Ten Sword Rules' have long been forgotten by you!
"To this day, you are even asking for your own death. You have upgraded yourself from a 'scabies' to a 'major problem' for the entire Flying Star Sector!
"How about it, Captain Luo? Now that your wish has been fulfilled and you have committed the most heinous crimes, you have become a supervillain. The entire world of Cultivators is coming to beat you. How do you feel? Very comfortable, very satisfied, and very accomplished. Your life has been worth it, hasn't it? "
Luo Jinhu felt like crying. "Boss — Boss Bai, please stop fooling around with me. Help me find a way out!"
Bai Xinghe sniffed and said, "A way out my ass. There are only two ways for you and me!
"Firstly, several years later, when the Immortal Cultivators fail and Spider Den is completely destroyed by the Cultivators, the space pirates on the surface will be the best shields and will be killed by the Cultivators.
"The Immortal Cultivators, on the other hand, can hide underground and continue lurking under our dead bodies.
"Chances are that, while we are fighting the Cultivators on Spider Den, they are hiding on a sunny beach in a certain world fragment, drinking orange juice comfortably while watching the live broadcast of the battle!
"Secondly, even if the Immortal Cultivators do succeed in their mission, the guys who are 'vanguards' such as you will certainly end up being cooked after the rabbit is killed!
"They are even willing to seduce extraterrestrial devils. Do you think that they will honor their promises to petty thieves like you and me? What a joke!
"Boss Bai, have we never doubted what you just said?"
Luo Jinhu finally got back to his feet and kneeled on the ground dutifully. He lowered his head and said, "But as you know, the most important thing for space pirates is the information network. The trophies of the robberies must be sold in the black market, too!
"Over the past hundreds of years, Black Spider Tower has risen and controlled the information network and the black market of Spider Den. It is essentially the eyes, ears, and mouth of space pirates!
"It was not until a year ago that we learned that Black Spider Tower was actually a branch of the Temple of Immortals. The previous leader of Black Spider Tower was very likely to be 'Black King', one of the four kings of immortals!
"Right now, our eyes, ears, and mouth are all controlled by the Temple of Immortals. If we do not cooperate with the Temple of Immortals, we will not be able to do anything!
"Boss Bai, you have so many docks and Crystal Suit Centers on Spider Den. I'm told that you have a lot of industries below the ground. Naturally, you can ignore Black Spider Tower!
"The poor brothers like us have to go on business every day. Without the Black Spider Tower, how are you going to feed your deaf and blind people without the Black Spider Tower? How are you going to feed them without a source of income? "
"Therefore. That's why we are so careless that we can't clear our names. We have no choice but to work for the Immortal Cultivators! "
Bai Xinghe was silent for a moment. He patted Luo Jinhu's shoulder again and said solemnly, "I know that you have your reasons. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you so much. I would've crushed you to death.
"Those b * stards are indeed capable. With Black Spider Tower, they have built such a huge net on Spider Den. Even I have fallen into their net without knowing it.
"When they revealed their true colors a year ago, the space pirates were already fooled. We had no choice but to work for them.
"However, there are two ways to work for them."
Luo Jinhu was dazed. "Which two ways?"
Bai Xinghe extended two fingers. He snapped his index finger and said, "Firstly, Fengyu Zhong is a mad dog who bites people for the Temple of Immortals. He bites as many people as he does for the Temple of Immortals."
Luo Jinhu was suspicious. "Is there a second way to work for them?"
"Secondly …"
Bai Xinghe retracted his index finger, leaving only his middle finger, which was pointing at the sky. "Tell the Temple of Immortals. Immediately, right now. Give me as many benefits as you want! Otherwise, even if I have to risk my life, I will ruin your plans! "
"Yuanying experts are not gods. Of course, there are a lot of things that they cannot accomplish.
"However, there are few things in this world that a Yuanying expert can't fail at whatever cost, even at the cost of his own life!"
Luo Jinhu gasped. "Boss Bai, you — you are not going to turn against the Temple of Immortals, are you?"
Bai Xinghe smiled. "Why would I? The Temple of Immortals is strong and has a lot of trump cards. There are at least a couple of Yuanying experts in their pockets. How can I turn against them?
"I'm only going to destroy Fengyu Zhong."
Luo Jinhu was choking so hard that his face was turning purple.
Bai Xinghe narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Do you know the difference between me and Fengyu Zhong?
More than a year ago, the rabid dog only had a few starships and no properties on Spider Den.
"Spider Den did not belong to him in the first place. Since he was asked to sell it, of course, he would sell it as cheaply as possible!
"Even if Spider Den was worth ten thousand dollars, he would still be making a profit if he sold it for a hundred dollars.
"Whichever space pirate joins the mad dog's side will not have a good ending. They will only be cannon fodder, high-level cannon fodder, gold cannon fodder, or super invincible cannon fodder!
"I'm different. Spider Den is mine in the first place. Even if it is only worth ten thousand dollars, I will sell it for a hundred thousand, or even a million!
"Right now, we are selling our lives, not cabbages! Ah Hu, tell me, are you willing to sell your life to the mad dog or to me? "
Luo Jinhu breathed heavily. "I — I understand now. Boss Bai, you are going to fight Fengyu Zhong. After he is killed, the Temple of Immortals will have to count on Boss Bai. By then, Boss Bai will naturally sell the Temple of Immortals at a high price with all our brothers!"
Bai Xinghe smiled kindly. "Ah Hu, you are finally smart. I'm glad!
"However, I, Bai Xinghe, am different from Fengyu Zhong and the other Immortal Cultivators. You and I have known each other for decades. You should know that I never make empty promises or make empty promises. Immortality, commander of a fleet, and such unrealistic things will only make people laugh their heads off!
"Let's not talk about empty promises. Let's talk about the practical benefits!"
Luo Jinhu held his head high and declared righteously, "Boss Bai has been kind to Ah Hu. You are Ah Hu's second parent. What benefits can I get if I die for Boss Bai?"
"Bullsh * t!"
Bai Xinghe kicked Luo Jinhu to the ground again. "Cut the crap! As long as the price is right, you won't even bat an eyelid if you sell your entire family! Similarly, as long as the price is right, I guarantee that I will sell your parents to the brothels today! You are already a space pirate, killing and robbing. Why are you still pretending to be chaste? You are quite loyal, aren't you?
"Look! Do you know what this is? "
Bai Xinghe waved the spider pendant in front of his chest.
Luo Jinhu spat out a tooth that was mixed with blood. He was dumbfounded. Greed beamed out of his eyes.
Bai Xinghe smiled. "It seems that you know what it is?"
"That's understandable. Everybody on Spider Den knows that I used to be an underground treasure hunter before I made my fortune.
"It is said that I once entered the control center of the underground fortress of Spider Den and obtained a detailed map of the underground tunnels.
"With the map and the 'Spider Key' that could open all the tunnels, I controlled all the underground arsenals, magical equipment, and techniques on Spider Den!
"This' Spider Key 'might not be real, but I've built such a huge business from scratch in just a short hundred years. I definitely have my own trump cards, don't I?"
Luo Jinhu's voice changed, as if he were a girl who had just seen a diamond weighing eight kilograms. "Boss — Boss Bai, are you saying …"
Bai Xinghe waved the 'Spider Key' and said in a low voice, as if he were hypnotizing him, "Let me tell you something. In the civil war of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago, Spider Den was much more than an industrial planet. A great secret was hidden deep below the ground of the planet.
"The secret has nothing to do with you.
"However, the magical equipment and techniques that are scattered around the secret may have a lot to do with you, huh?"
Luo Jinhu swallowed and said in ecstasy, "Boss Bai, you want it. You want it."
"Brave men are bound to come when there is a great reward!"
Bai Xinghe took back the Spider Key and raised his voice. "With everything coming to this point, I'll be honest with you. Fengyu Zhong has the support of the Temple of Immortals. His influence is expanding rapidly. A lot of pirate gangs are joining his cause!
"I'm not confident that I can win in a battle against the crazy dog!
"Although I'm reluctant to share my greatest trump cards with you, money, magical equipment, and techniques are just worldly possessions. Survival is more important than anything else!
"Therefore, I'll be frank with you. I will hold a secret meeting in a few days. All the space pirates who stand behind me will share the Cultivation arts and secret treasures that I brought from the underground arsenals of Spider Den!
"Half of them will be shared before the battle, and the other half will be shared after Fengyu Zhong is killed. Check the goods in advance. Don't cheat anyone!
"This is what Boss Bai always does!
"That's how I, Bai Xinghe, buy my life, and that's how I work!"
