Chapter 363 Invisible Corner 2 (1/2)
The Shattered Star Ring was filled with criminals, so it was very rare to see visitors from other Star Fields. Yet, there were still people who came.
Peggy asked eleven of them in a row, and the results were mostly the same. These Silvers were all friends and travelers, wanting to witness the edge of the visible universe, and Shattered Star Ring was one of the edges of the visible universe. They had passed by and had unfortunately been abducted by Peggy.
He walked into the next cell, and the Silver inside was somewhat different. The others would at least shiver a little when they heard the cell door open, but this guy was very calm and did not move at all. It was like he was not a prisoner but a guest of this ship.
”Are you the leader?” This Silver spoke first, his tone very calm. ”I'm willing to buy my freedom with money. You can decide any price.”
”I'm not interested.” Peggy was expressionless. His spaceship maintained information disruption to prevent getting located, to prevent risks, so they would not let the slaves use their communicators before they were safe.
With a wave of his hand, his subordinate walked forward and frisked the Silver's body. This Silver struggled violently and yelled with rage, ”I have a lot of money! Aren't you selling slaves for money‽”
Suddenly, a scavenger subordinate discovered something. He tore his shirt open and took out a tiny black bead from his lining. This Silver immediately became much more violent and wanted to pounce over to snatch back the black bead, but he was pressed strongly on the floor, only able to growl furiously.
”What's this?” Peggy took the black bead from his subordinate and squeezed it. It was very hard, and the surface of the bead was emanating a deep light with a tint of magical glow.
”Give it back to me! I'm an emissary of DarkStar; this belongs to the DarkStar. If you dare take it away, destruction and death will fall upon you!” this man yelled angrily.
”DarkStar?” Peggy laughed coldly. ”You did your homework well. Despite being far away in the Sea of Star Spirits, you know there's a DarkStar organization in our Shattered Star Ring. I didn't joint DarkStar even though I'm a hybrid Godoran, you want to scare me? Do you think I'm easily fooled?”
Peggy saw DarkStar as the great pioneer of liberation, and he had always wanted to join, but because DarkStar was too mysterious, he never could come into contact with them. If DarkStar gave him orders, he would willingly give his life.
Silvers were far in the Sea of Star Spirits, how could they possibly have any connection with DarkStar. He had caught them out of nowhere, and this guy happened to be the so-called 'emissary'? How could it be so coincidental! It was nothing but intimidation—Peggy had seen it way too many times.
”Seeing that you're so nervous, this bead must be valuable. I'll take it.”
Peggy pocketed the bead and planned to find someone to identify it when he was free. He brought his subordinates along and left the cell, then closed the gate.
Outside the door, the subordinate licked his lips. His face was filled with greed as he said, ”A Silver has never appeared on the slave market of Shattered Star Ring before. It will definitely sell for a good price—this is a huge profit. Boss, who are we selling them to?”
”I've contacted the customer,” Peggy said. ”We're going to Floating Dragon Island.”
The subordinate widened his eyes. ”that's that man's territory!”
”The customer this time is that guy's subordinate, very generous with money.” Peggy had a gloomy smile as he walked away.
In the prison cell, this Silver was furious. He cursed in his mind, Damn scavengers! Luckily, the Secret Message Bead can only be opened with a password. They can't take out what's inside…
…
Star Zone 4, Fawn—Planet Number 122—was a planet without an owner or civilization. The Silvers that sent out the missions were camping there. Since their call for aid, numerous mercenary spaceships had arrived on this lifeless planet, and all sorts of spaceships surrounded the middle and shaped a base. In the heart of it was the Silvers' traveling spaceship.
Gashley's spaceship landed slowly, and Han Xiao and the others swarmed out to look around.
The base was filled with voices—most of them were mercenary groups. The Silvers' mission had attracted many renowned mercenaries in the Shattered Star Ring.
Gashley brought the others toward the main team. They arrived below an even larger spaceship, and about a hundred Sky Ring mercenaries were gathered here. Han Xiao looked up—this spaceship had the Sky Ring symbol on it, too.
”You're finally here.” A tall woman wearing hooded robe walked over.
It was the Three-Ring Level cadre [Ice Sorcerer], original name Goa, leader of the Sky Ring for this mission. She had light blue long hair, a cold nature, and a void-like voice, just like ice. This was a Mage—although Han Xiao could not feel the magic flowing in her, he could feel the coldness from her.
Seems like she's an ice element Mage, Han Xiao thought.
Just like the Mechanic class, the Mage class also had complicated knowledge and a variety of styles. Ice mages were hard to deal with, and they had all sorts of annoying skills like slow, freeze, and stiffen.
Goa glanced at Gashley. She saw Han Xiao and the others beside and asked with a frown, ”Who are they?”
”Black Star Mercenary Group. We just made a partnership agreement, so they're here to help,” Gashley said.
”Never heard of them before.” Goa shook her head.
Han Xiao was not bothered. Black Star Mercenary Group's name was limited to Juberly Hub; it was far from being famous. Compared to Sky Ring, his mercenary group was not noticeable at all.
