16 Journey through the stars (2/2)

They knew they were not of as valuable as Rin in the captain's eyes, they were expendables easily replaced if they died so all they could do was shut up, follow orders and survive.

”See Rin there is nothing to worry about the Galactic patrol area is large they are bound to be places they miss when they patrol the area so no need to concern yourself with unnecessary worries. We just need to nab a few spaceships before they even notice and return to Scorpion's Gorge before any of them can catch us.” The captain said to Rin before turning back to the screens he was looking at.

Rin sighed as he knew risks they were taking but they had to get the money he just hoped they wouldn't run into any of the galactic patrol on this run.

---------------------------------------

”Hahahaha that's another one down it really is worthwhile to carry out our operations near the galactic patrol's area the amount of merchant ships we caught are quite a few, with this we will make a killing once we go back to Scorpion's Gorge. What do you say now Rin was my decision good or great?”

Influenced by the successful operations so far Rin showed the typical greediness and love for wealth inherent to all pirates. ”Hahaha, captain you were right all along, I was just being too cautious because this is the galactic patrols area. I thought it would have been more secure since their fame for helping out planets from pirates and mercenaries has spread across the universe. Now I understand their reputation is undeserved, at least when it comes to patrolling space and stopping space robberies. They can't even catch us when we are in their own territory.”

”See this means you should believe in me a little more your captain I am always right. Now we should head back as this string of robberies will surely alert the galactic patrol and they will definitely send quite a few ships after us and I don't want to be chased by them all the way”

”Sure anything you say captain” replied Rin as he looked at the captain with admiration. Just as they were preparing to set off one of the crew reported something.

”Captain I discovered a something traveling in this direction.” Replied the member of the crew.

”Is it a galactic patrol ship, is it alone” asked the captain.

”No it is not a galactic patrol ship and it's alone, judging from its appearance it seemed to be a new high spec model ship. I can't identify which manufacturer made it but it is definitely one of the best if not the best ship I have ever seen in all of my life.” Said the crew member responsible for scouting the area.

”What about the energy levels use that new high tech scouter we bought from the gorge.”

”I just got the readings sir they are below 1000 and there only seems to be one person on the ship.”

”Only one person on the ship, are you sure and only a battle power below a thousand. Check it again and make sure there is no changes”

”Yes, sir”

”I just checked it twice sir, nothing changed from our initial readings everything is the same.”

”Well boys it seems that the Gods are favouring us, giving us such a catch just before we leave for Scorpion's Gorge. Hahaaha come on boys let's take this one down before returning home, when we return we will be living like kings for a while.” Said the captain as he looked at the approaching ship with greed in his eyes as he ordered his subordinates to begin an assault on the spaceship.

Unaware of the consequences of his decision of attacking instead of going home and the ill fate that would befall he and his crew the captain lead the raid to the spaceship as he greedily eyed the ship. Thinking it would serve as a new ship and especially his flagship for his group after some modifications.

Charz was unaware of the scouter located on the ship and ignorant of the fact that the band of pirates scanned his battle power. Unknown to them was that due to his great amount of power and his habit of hiding his true battle power from everyone, Charz always keeps his strength below and around a 1000.
