Chapter 455 - Linny Is Angry (2/2)
The Edward had not yet decided to go with Windsor, but Lin Luoran suddenly did closed-door training for a long time. They stayed on the N2 planet for several days. The day of the princess’s wedding was approaching, and Lin Luoran had shown more than once her interest in watching the ceremony. Since Colin Weir is senior in age, he decided that they would go to the Nami Star first.
They didn’t know why, but Windsor insisted on following them.
Colin pondered over it. He thought it was better to let the female pirate show up, instead of allowing her to stab them in the back. Therefore, he agreed that Windsor went with them. Even so, he had been on the alert. He promised to go with Windsor, but he wouldn’t tell Windsor the destination coordinates until the moment before the Edward jumped.
In such a short time, no one could arrange an ambush.
Now the Edward notifies Windsor of changing route only when they are in danger. That makes Windsor annoyed. But the Edward hasn’t fared well.
In this jump for changing route, the Edward has just opened the seemingly unstable wormhole when it encounters an attack—
The Edward has remained at this desolate corner where they have no advantages for two days! They chose to return fire in the first place, but after using countless combat-oriented airs.h.i.+ps, they were put on the defensive.
Hearing Ma Yiming scold Windsor, Colin Weir calms down a little.
“It’s not Windsor… Although her stars.h.i.+p doesn’t fight hard and she is suspected of preserving her strength, the opponent is merciless to them.”
If Windsor colluded with others and wanted to get various “ingredients with Reiki” that did not exist on the Edward, she should have taken action two days later. But Windsor didn’t loot the Edward. Besides, her stars.h.i.+p is also being attacked by the third party.
It’s true that ingredients with Reiki are very expensive, but Windsor doesn’t need to risk a huge stars.h.i.+p to get them. If she does so, her efforts probably won’t pay off— after deducting the costs incurred during the combat, the money she may make from the ingredients will not be enough for repairing the stars.h.i.+p. There is no such a silly pirate leader, right?
The cyan little fox is lying under the table in the central control room. It has just woken up from a sweet dream. Ma Shuangshuang touches its head to comfort it. “Don’t worry. We will definitely win.”
Will they? Every one detects the frustration in Ma Shuangshuang’s words. The words are not convincing.
The cyan little fox is wondering if it should deal with the jumping aliens by itself, when it feels a familiar waft of fragrance. It turns its head slightly and looks in a certain direction. Its wet eyes look very cute.
…
“Boss, we will lose money this time if we keep getting beaten like this!” A thin, pale young man stands next to Windsor, reminding her of their situation.
Repairing a stars.h.i.+p costs money. Energy is also money-consuming. If they don’t fight back, they will carry out the smuggling in vain, right? If they keep being attacked, the money they have earned will not be enough to repair the stars.h.i.+p. How can they allow this to happen?
The skinny young man is the butler of the stars.h.i.+p. He is very sad about Windsor’s prodigal behavior. He persuades her for several times, but Windsor is unmoved.
“Boss, what on earth are you waiting for?”
The Blockhead casually says something, which is exactly what Windsor has on her mind.
“Whether we should help the Edward, or help the third party and wait for the Edward to be defeated. Boss, you have to say something!”
The fat man nicknamed “Blockhead” from the Nami Star has always been supported by Windsor secretly. Everyone guesses much about the relations.h.i.+p between the two, but they have no clues. Nevertheless, they know that there is nothing wrong with pus.h.i.+ng Blockhead to speak up for them.
Waiting for what? Of course, she’s waiting for the mysterious master on the Edward who once scanned the “Friend” stars.h.i.+p with spirit power but has never showed up. She doesn’t know the people on the Edward actually talk a lot about the “Friend”—in what way are the interstellar pirates “friends”?
She waited for two days, but nothing has happened. Hien Windsor’s green eyes are full of flames.
She couldn’t stand being attacked, but how could the people on the Edward bear it?
Or, was the gently streaming spirit power she felt that day just an illusion?
Hien Windsor feels that her spirit power is almost disrupted.
“Bo… ss!”
The potato chips stuffed in Blockhead’s mouth fall to the ground. He points at the virtual optical screen with his white fat fingers constantly shaking and his eyes bulging. Now he looks like a rabble on a remote planet!
Windsor turns her head and is shocked. Her nearly disordered spirit power has got even worse. In the fire, a figure wanders among the stars. A lot of asteroids fade into the background. The figure casts a glimpse in a light-hearted manner, just like an immortal.
How can a person walk easily in the interstellar s.p.a.ce, which is almost a vacuum, without external a.s.sistance?
Though the figure is far away from her, Windsor, with the intuition of a woman, can still feel the figure walking among the stars in a fury. It’s her, the master who scanned the “Friend” with spirit power that day. It’s her!
