Streaks of blue flames tore through the dark curtain of the universe, extending all the way from the depths of the universe. They stopped at the port of Floating Dragon Island outside Blue Star's atmosphere, leaving behind a rainbow that the residents of Floating Dragon could see when they looked up.
Although they had a lazy leader, Floating Dragon still expanded to five islands, with hundreds of millions of residents living there. Most of them were Blue Star people who ran up. If they stayed on the surface, they would have to be under the jurisdiction of the Aquamarine Federation. Floating Dragon, as a neutral island, had more freedom, and they could experience the glory of the galactic society not far from home. It was a good vacation spot, which indirectly promoted the tourism industry there.
Black Star's fleet docked at the main dock, attracting the attention of countless people on the platform. When Han Xiao walked out of the cabin with a group of subordinates wearing the Black Star Corps uniform, these people immediately surrounded them excitedly.
"It's really Black Star!"
"Comrade, you're our pride!"
"Can you give me an autograph? My grandpa likes you the most! "
Han Xiao and the others were completely surrounded by the crowd, and it was difficult for them to even move an inch.
Hearing the shouts and feeling the enthusiasm of the people, Han Xiao used his ability Cloud Smile. The effect was not ordinary, and the crowd's mood became even higher.
Most of the people there were Blue Star people. They were all Black Star's admirers since they were young. Recently, due to the promotion of the three Universal Civilizations, his reputation had been extremely high. He was almost worshipped as an omnipotent god by the Blue Star people.
This time, the Floating Dragon soldiers who had been waiting for a long time walked up and separated the crowd, leaving a path.
Jenny walked up expressionlessly and spoke with an insincere tone.
"Welcome to Floating Dragon, Your Excellency Black Star."
"Your tone doesn't sound that welcoming," Han Xiao joked.
"No, I'm very happy." Jenny stared with her dead fish eyes, turned her body slightly, and made an inviting gesture. "Come with me."
The two of them left with a group of subordinates, leaving behind many people at the dock. Watching the backs of the group of people disappear from sight, many people winked at each other, revealing a look that said, "You know what I mean."
The scandal between Black Star and the Dragon Emperor had been circulating in the Shattered Star Ring for decades, and everyone in the Blue Star knew about it.
Black Star frequently visited Floating Dragon Island, and Dragon Emperor moved her base to Black Star's hometown. Even if Bennett was beaten to death, the people of Blue Star would not believe that there was nothing going on between the two of them.
Han Xiao and Jenny walked at the very front, leading the group as they passed through the streets. Countless passersby stared at them in surprise and excitement, chatting with each other here and there.
"You seem to be in a good mood today?" Han Xiao glanced at her.
"Why do you say that?" Jenny was puzzled.
"Your attitude towards me today is not as bad as before."
"Humph." Jenny snorted. "If you like, I can recover a little."
She had never liked Black Star. Firstly, she did not like this fellow who increased her workload, and secondly, it was because of Ames. However, after seeing the recent news, although Jenny did not say it, she actually admired Black Star. If she were to speak ill of him now, she would not be able to get over it in her heart.
"Tsk tsk, you don't have a soul like this." Han Xiao shook his head and joked. "I still prefer your wild and unruly side."
Jenny secretly rolled her eyes and could not be bothered with Han Xiao.
At this time, the group walked to the intersection, and they heard a series of dense footsteps, as well as the crisp sound of metal rubbing against each other.
Everyone looked over and saw a group of Floating Dragon warriors in dark gold heavy armor pushing creatures of different races who had black cloth covering their heads as they hurriedly walked through the street not far away.
The pedestrians around them hurriedly dodged as if they were afraid of tigers.
The entire body of this group of heavy-armored warriors was covered by armor, and their faces could not be seen. There was an inexplicable cold-blooded aura when they moved. There were two emblems on the chest of the armor. One was the Floating Dragon symbol, and the other was an unfamiliar symbol that Han Xiao had never seen before. It probably represented the identity of this group of people.
"What force is this? They didn't seem to be here the last time I was here. "Han Xiao was curious.
"That's the Hunting Group. It was only recently separated from Wilsander's security force and became an independent organization," Jenny said concisely.
Harrison saw the bloodstains on the clothes of the creatures being escorted and could not help but ask, "What are they going to do to those people?"
As soon as he said that, Han Xiao and Jenny both turned to look at him with a strange expression.
"W-what's wrong?" Harrison was a little nervous from the two of them looking at him like that.
Jenny ignored him and looked at Han Xiao. "Black Star, where did you find this newbie again? He doesn't seem to know when it's his turn to speak."
"Don't say that. Harrison is a great guy. He helped me a lot." Han Xiao did not mind and chuckled. "I like it when you're mean. This is more like it."
"Humph." Jenny looked back at Harrison and waved her hand. "Since you're so curious, let's go take a look. It's not far anyway."
"Er … can we?" Harrison looked at Han Xiao.
"Let's go take a look then."
Han Xiao nodded. Although he was now Harrison's overbearing CEO, he would still try his best to satisfy the small request of someone with Advanced Luck Glow.
The group followed the hunting team all the way to the edge of Floating Dragon Island. A translucent light golden barrier isolated the vacuum, and outside was the universe.
A large crowd gathered in the distance, but the hunting team did not care. They did not chase away the onlookers and focused on doing their own things. They lined up the people with black cloth in their hands and kneeled down before opening a small part of the protective shield.
A small opening appeared in the golden barrier, and these people without armor protection were instantly sucked out. They were exposed to the universe and writhing in pain like fish jumping on a chopping board.
Very soon, these people's struggles became weaker, and a layer of white frost appeared on everyone's body. Their bodily functions were destroyed by the vacuum, and only their heads were hidden under the black cloth. Otherwise, their painful and twisted expressions would be visible.
The next moment, the hunting team raised the guns in their hands and fired at the same time.
Green laser beams shot out of the blasters and shattered these people who were about to turn into ice sculptures. They turned into balls of light and floated deep into the universe.
"Is this an execution?" Harrison's eyes widened. "What did they do? Isn't this a little too cruel?"
Although he had never been to the Shattered Star Ring before, he had done some research on Floating Dragon after hearing about the change in the itinerary.
Because the Black Star Corps' galactic pirate happy hut was too famous, the galactic pirates in the Shattered Star Ring had moved their businesses to other regions on a large scale. Floating Dragon no longer accepted galactic pirates, and it became a free city with good security.
He had thought that Floating Dragon's culture was very good, but he did not expect that there would be Floating Dragon troops executing people on the spot in front of countless onlookers. This was not a sign of good security, and executing people on the spot was most likely a sign of a reign of terror. He could not imagine that he would see such a barbaric act there.
"Cruel?" Jenny said with dissatisfaction. "Look at the people around you. Which one of them thinks it's cruel?"
Harrison turned around and was shocked to see that every single one of the onlookers had a look of joy on their faces. There were even some people who were clapping and cheering.
Jenny looked at Han Xiao and snorted. "The more famous you are, the more enemies you have. In recent years, there have been many infiltration incidents in Blue Star. These criminals are spies and rebels from different organizations. They have advanced equipment, and their goal is to infiltrate Blue Star and harm you by destroying your mother planet. Some of them have their eyes on Floating Dragon and are trying to build a secret stronghold here or use Floating Dragon's location to throw weapons of mass destruction at Blue Star. Therefore, we have created a hunting team to eliminate these spies. Black Star, we have helped you block a lot of pressure."
Hearing that, Harrison understood. Most of the onlookers were from Blue Star, so it was no wonder that they were so happy. These criminals did not have any environmental awareness and were trying to destroy their mother planet. Executing them on the spot would not only not be cruel, but it would also make them feel at ease.
"Thanks." Han Xiao smiled. The reason Ames had moved Floating Dragon there was to help him block these malicious intentions toward his home planet.
"Just a thank you and it's over?"
Han Xiao thought for a while and said, "Then, I'll bring you some special magic potions for hair growth next time as a gift."
"… Go and find Ames yourself!"
Jenny's face was green. She resisted the urge to curse and turned around to leave.
Seeing that, Harrison mumbled softly and asked in confusion, "Your Excellency Black Star, you're a top figure in the universe. Why is this woman so disrespectful to you?"
"I've known her for decades, and we've always been so noisy. There's no point in talking about status between friends." Han Xiao waved his hands.
"So that's how it is. You're really magnanimous …" Harrison flattered without batting an eyelid. He then asked, "Then, what's her name?"
"You don't know? Jenny is the general manager of Floating Dragon, the sister and best friend of the Dragon Emperor. It should be easy to find her online. "
"I didn't check that carefully … So, her name is Jenny. I think she's quite pretty …"
"… When did you become blind?"
Han Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked down at his expression, and said with a surprised tone.
"Don't tell me you've fallen for her?"
Harrison's face turned slightly red, and he said shyly, "I can't say that I like her. After all, this is the first time I've met her …"
"Oh, I get it. You're lusting after her body."
Harrison was speechless.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. He was not sure about Jenny's love life in his previous life, but Harrison had been an old bachelor until he died in the World Tree Civilization. He had never heard of him having any partners or children.
Although Jenny might be more than a hundred years older than Harrison, she took good care of herself and looked like she was in her thirties.
Furthermore, as the old saying went, 'A woman three years older carries gold bricks; a woman thirty years older carries mountains; a woman three hundred years older carries immortal pills.' Age was not a distance, and true love was invincible. It was a win-win situation.
There's a chance!
With that in mind, Han Xiao patted Harrison's shoulder and chuckled.
"If you like her, then do it. I'll be your shield. Quickly take her down and teach her a lesson. It's a good thing I didn't argue with her. Otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely be beaten up once every three days and once every five days."
Harrison's face turned even redder. "What should I do? I have no experience …"
"Hmm? You're the rich second-generation heir of a large financial group, and you haven't even had a girlfriend before? "
"I used to like reading …"
"How embarrassing!" Han Xiao was heartbroken. "What a waste of your family's wealth!"
The two of them chatted as they brought them to Ames's palace. Han Xiao had Harrison and his subordinates wait at the stronghold while he tidied his clothes and stepped into Ames's palace.
They arrived at a garden full of rare herbs. Ames was lying on the long bed in the middle of the garden. Her black dress was like a blooming black flower. She was using her force field to control the Recovery Coin that Hella had given her to shuttle through the flowers. The table beside her was filled with sumptuous wine and food.
Hearing footsteps, Ames grabbed the coin and pulled it back. She turned to look at Han Xiao, smiled, and patted the bed beside her.
"You're here. Take a seat. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Han Xiao walked forward and picked up a full blue crystal wine glass from the table. He sat on the side of the bed, took a sip, and smacked his lips. "Old Aesop made this again?"
As soon as he said that, his shoulders sank, and he felt a pair of white arms wrap around him.
Ames put her chin on his shoulder from behind and asked curiously, "What did you do in the Ancient Star Desert? There are too few details in the news. I want to hear it from you."
Han Xiao was not surprised by her intimate actions. In the secondary dimensions, the two of them had been together for a few months, and their relationship had grown closer. Although Ames was a clean freak and did not like to touch other people's bodies, he was not.
"Let's not talk about this first. I brought you a gift."
Han Xiao snapped his fingers, and a virtual screen popped up. On it was a list of Esper Ultimate Knowledges.
"The three Universal Civilizations have released my authority and allowed me to exchange Ultimate Knowledges for others. However, there's a limit to the number. Pick one you want, and I'll get it for you."
"So good?" Ames blinked. "Let me guess. You're not giving this to me, and you're going to teach this knowledge to other Espers, such as Hella and the others, right?"
"That's right." Han Xiao nodded.
"This is more like you." Ames's lips curled up slightly. She looked at the screen and tapped on one of the options.
Han Xiao glanced at it. "This doesn't seem to be the most suitable for you."
"Didn't you say that there's a limit to the number of knowledges that can be exchanged? I don't care. It's fine as long as it's suitable for Hella and Aurora." Ames smiled gently.
"You're too considerate of her." Han Xiao was helpless.
"They're my only students, just like my children. Who else can I be considerate of other than them?" Ames punched Han Xiao's chest and said, "Hurry up and tell me a story. I want to hear it."
Han Xiao raised his head and drank the wine to moisten his throat. He then picked up the crystal clear blue fruit on the table and threw it into his mouth to chew. While eating, he recounted his experience in the Ancient Star Desert in detail.
…
After telling the story for half a day, Ames was finally satisfied and let Han Xiao go. They agreed to continue the next day.
Han Xiao left the palace and planned to look for Aesop. However, he did not expect Aesop to go to the army's stronghold and come looking for him.
After returning to the stronghold, Han Xiao immediately saw Aesop sitting in the hall with Harrison and the others accompanying him.
"Old man, I was just about to look for you. Did you foresee it again, so you came looking for me first?"
Han Xiao sat down opposite Aesop and joked.
"Stop fooling around. I'm here to talk business with you today." Aesop put down the cup in his hand and said with a serious tone.
"How rare." Han Xiao was a little curious. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"My passive foresight has been triggered very frequently recently. I think it's better to inform you about some things."
Aesop raised his finger and said in a deep voice, "First, the first thing.
"First, I saw a special existence descend on Blue Star, and I saw his appearance clearly."
"Since you know what he looks like, why don't you tell Bennett and ask him to send someone to compare the global surveillance and find this person?"
"That's the problem …"
Aesop frowned.
"I've searched the entire Blue Star, and there are no records of this person in all the surveillance cameras. There are no eyewitness reports … It's like this person doesn't exist at all."
"Is your prophecy wrong?"
"No, this prophecy has never had such a strong foresight. I can't tell why, but I'm sure this prophecy is reliable."
"Then, what else is special about this person that you saw?"
Hearing this, Aesop glanced at Han Xiao.
"In my prophecy … you seem to have interacted with him a long time ago."
