"What reward do you want for your contribution?" Jenny asked.
"I wish to obtain the permission to use the Void Dragon bones," Han Xiao said.
Jenny nodded. "Haier is in charge of the warehouse. I'll talk to him and give you a limited amount of Void Dragon materials."
Haier was in charge of logistics, so all rare materials had to be approved by him. Han Xiao's request was very normal, so Haier naturally would not reject it.
Han Xiao was overjoyed. Void Dragon materials were priceless and could not even be bought. They could be considered as a faction specialty. It was true that those closest to the water enjoyed the benefits first. No matter if he sold them or kept them to build his own machinery, Void Dragon materials would be very useful.
After Han Xiao left, Jenny leaned back in her chair and murmured, "Black Star, Han Xiao … is not the kind of guy who will tremble under Ames' power. He has a lot of secrets, claims to be a diviner, and all his subordinates are immortal. Such power, if there are more of them … sigh, although such a person is a capable assistant, I don't know if it's a good thing."
After a pause, Jenny's brows relaxed. "Never mind, it doesn't matter who he is. As long as Ames is still there, it's enough to suppress all unexpected factors."
…
Walking out of the building, Han Xiaoxin was very happy. He had gained a lot this time, so he planned to take a good shower and then go to the warehouse to get the materials and count the benefits.
Suddenly, he had an idea, and a possibility appeared in his mind.
Dark-star's target is the two dead Silvers. If I were them, the clue of the Silvers would be broken. The next step would be to find other people involved. Therefore, there's a high chance that Dark-star will look for the slave dealer who escorted the Silvers.
Han Xiao realized this and immediately changed his direction to the dock. He quickly disguised himself on the way, took off his recognizable mechanical suit and weapons, and put on the simulator mask.
He secretly rejoiced that he had realized this in time. It had only been an hour since the attack, and there was a high chance that Ashes and the others would be hiding for a while. This was the perfect opportunity for him to seize the initiative and figure out Dark-star's intentions.
"Let me see what DarkStar wants." Han Xiao's lips curled up, revealing a smirk.
…
At the same time, on a certain street in the outer streets of Floating Dragon Island, Ashes and the others were hiding in the shadows between the houses. The aircraft flew past them, but they did not see them.
Ashes and the others had escaped the detection range and were basically safe.
This operation was a blunder, and the expressions of the task force were not good. Ashes suppressed his annoyance and ordered in a deep voice.
"There's no time to lose. Let's find that slave trader and complete the mission as soon as possible. Don't stay on Floating Dragon Island for too long."
A mechanic who was good at electronics said, "We've found the information. That slave trader is called Peggy. He's staying at Floating Dragon Dock."
"Alright, he hasn't left Floating Dragon Island yet. This is very beneficial to us." Ashes was energized and led the group toward the dock.
He had a feeling that Peggy definitely knew the whereabouts of the Secret Message Bead.
…
The number of spaceships docked at the dock was much fewer than before, and the formation was sparse. There were two reasons for this. First, there had been too much turbulence in the past few days. During the previous battle at the dock, Ames had made a move and frightened many brutes. They had left in a hurry and did not dare to stay, fearing that they would be punished.
Second, the route of Floating Dragon Island was about to pass through the border of the two civilizations in the Gelock Star Cluster. This was a sensitive area where conflicts often occurred. Energy detection buoys and patrol fleets were everywhere, and the alert level was extremely high. If they left Floating Dragon Island in this area, the danger factor would greatly increase. The patrol fleets would not be stingy with their cannons to get rid of a group of wanted criminals, so many people chose to leave before that.
Peggy had the same idea and was prepared to leave Floating Dragon Island.
Although he had lost a large amount of income from being betrayed by Horlaide, there were still other slaves on the ship. He sold them to other individual customers to make up for the cost of this trip. However, he did not make any profit, so one could imagine how unhappy he was.
Therefore, an hour ago, when Peggy heard that Horlaide's slave market had been bombed, he laughed like a two-hundred-pound fatty, not hiding his gloating at all.
"That profiteer, he deserves to lose everything." Peggy was in a rare mood. His legs were on the control panel of the captain's room, and his eyes moved as he murmured, "The Silvers were rescued again. What a pity, if only I could rob them …"
Then he shook his head. This possibility only existed in his imagination. He fully understood that the Silvers were a hot potato now. Other than the mercenaries, they were also coveted by other unknown forces. This pool was very deep. As a group of slave traders, he did not have the ability to intervene. He did not have the hobby of committing suicide. Just the last time he met Han Xiao, he had almost been beaten into snake soup. Now that he thought about it, Peggy still had a lingering fear of that black, thick, and hard mechanical suit warrior.
"Start the engine, let's go."
Several pilots operated manually. The bottom of the spaceship spewed out flames and was about to leave the fixed track of the dock. At this time, the spaceship system sent a notification from the dock.
"Attention all captains, we are about to encounter a large group of meteorites in front. Countdown of three minutes. At that time, the protective shield will be fully opened, and no spaceships are allowed to enter or exit. Please be aware of this."
A radar observation image appeared on the screen. A large number of dense colored blocks were approaching at high speed. They were all meteorites. Under such circumstances, it was too dangerous for a spaceship to move alone. Peggy quickly asked people to turn off the engine and stay behind. He would rely on Floating Dragon's protective ability to survive this wave of meteorites before making a decision.
Hum!
The golden shield was activated. Floating Dragon Island used to be able to see the universe through the man-made atmosphere, but now, the sky was completely covered in gold. The entire Floating Dragon Island turned into a rugby ball-shaped golden sphere. The plasma energy core was operating at the highest efficiency, and high-energy light arcs shot out from the surface of the golden shield from time to time. It was like a bait thrown by a star or a jumping python.
The group of meteorites came head-on, covering the sky and the earth. They were of different sizes, and the largest one was about one-third of the size of the floating island. Floating Dragon Island rushed in head-on. Countless meteorites hit the golden shield, creating circles of golden ripples. The energy waves created by the collision spread far and wide in the universe, leaving behind traces.
On the floating island, there was an obvious vibration on the ground. Han Xiao happened to come to the dock at this time. He changed his outfit, took off his mechanical suit, and put on a hooded black robe that he bought from a shop on the street. He looked very mysterious. He changed his face with the simulation mask, so no one could recognize him.
Coming to Peggy's spaceship port, Han Xiao turned on the communicator, searched for the nearby channels, found Peggy's number, and sent a communication request … To put it in a more down-to-earth way, it would be easier to understand. He did not add Peggy as a friend, so he could only search for people nearby.
After a while, the communication was accepted. Peggy's face appeared on the screen. He asked in confusion, "Why are you looking for me?"
"I have something to ask you, about the Silvers."
Peggy's heart tightened. He originally decided not to interfere with the Silvers, but he did not expect to be involved. He calmed himself down and asked, "Who are you?"
"Dark-star," Han Xiao lowered his voice. He had deeper considerations to replace Dark-star.
Peggy's expression suddenly became weird. His first reaction was disbelief. This stranger who came out of nowhere was not a hybrid Godora. He felt like he was just using Dark-star as an excuse, just like the Silver who was thrown out of the spaceship. After all, Dark-star was quite famous in the Shattered Star Ring. Many people liked to use it to scare others.
"Do you have evidence?" Peggy was skeptical.
Han Xiao pretended to be tough and said coldly, "I'm the one asking you now. The two Silvers you threw out of the spaceship have something we want. As for my identity, I don't need to prove it to you. As long as you try to reject me, you will naturally know whether the person who erased you is Dark-star or not … Of course, if you cooperate, I can pay some money for this information."
Because of the limited information, Han Xiao only said the four points that he had guessed before. However, it was a lucky hit. In order to survive, the carrier revealed the fact that he was Dark-star's emissary, and only a few people, including Peggy, knew about this.
Peggy did not believe it at first, but when he heard what Han Xiao said, he immediately thought of the bead. Connecting the two parties' statements, most of them matched, and he was shocked!
What the f * ck, that Silver can't really be Dark-star's emissary, right? He really came to me?
Peggy's doubts were mostly dispelled. He was both nervous and excited.
In his mind, Dark-star was the great pioneer who saved Godora. He had hit the jackpot this time! However, he killed Dark-star's emissary. Would there be a problem?
