Chapter 379 Slaves? I Donst See I (1/2)
Ember's expression changed. He glanced at the expressions of all the Silvers, and the horror in their eyes did not look like they were faking it. They really did not know the code word.
His composure almost collapsed. Luckily, he thought of another possibility in time.
”Do you have any other friends?”
The Silvers did not dare to not answer. One of them said while trembling, ”The—there were originally seventeen of us, but two people were thrown into the universe during the trip here. They are already dead.”
The carrier died and was thrown into the universe?
The DarkStar people were stunned, not knowing what to do. The carrier's dried corpse could have floated anywhere by then. There was no way they could find it.
Ember was stunned as well, but suddenly, he thought of something. The slave traders definitely would have searched through the carrier's clothes. If the carrier did not hide the Secret Message Bead properly, the slave traders might have taken it. There was still a chance!
However, this would mean that they had rescued the Silvers for nothing, and they were targeted by Floating Dragon Island… Ember's face froze. He felt miserable.
If they had known earlier, they would have gone to find the slave trader first, but before this, he did not know what happened to the carrier. Rescuing the Silvers first was a logical assumption for their next act. The carrier belonged to a partner organization, and after they retrieved the Secret Message Bead, they would rescue him if they could. If they could not, they would just kill him, but now this step was skipped. That damn slave trader had completed their job, but the bead was lost. Furthermore, Ember initially only wanted to steal the people secretly. All this commotion was an accident.
In conclusion, he was extremely unlucky!
Truly frustrated, Ember waved his hand, and countless dust shot out from the ground, turning into a silk-like curtain, shrouding the aircraft chasing them, blocking its vision. This layer of dense black dust was made of graphite, so the image from the detection device immediately became twisted and blurry. The aircraft was blinded, and it hurriedly slowed down.
”I'll chase, Herlous, but don't follow me. He can kill you easily.” Han Xiao stopped Herlous from jumping out of the ship. He did not want this cadre that he had spent so much effort obtaining to be killed, so he flew out alone.
Breaking through the graphite barrier, Han Xiao focused and looked over. Then suddenly, he was a little stunned.
Ember and his people had fled with their powers and vanished without a trace, only leaving the Silvers behind, who were hugging each other while shivering. They were meaningless to Ember now, so they had been abandoned. Not only did that make it easier for them to escape, but it would also calm the Dragon Guards down.
At this time, the graphite barrier was dismissed and fell onto the ground. This meant that Ember was already far away, and the aircraft had left the area of his power.
”He ran so fast.” Herlous was surprised. As he was about to make the order of continuing the chase, Han Xiao suddenly raised his hand, stopped him, and said, ”Don't chase anymore. No point.”
”Why? Is it okay to let them escape?”
”Just say we can't catch them.” Han Xiao's eyes sparkled. ”Didn't you guys notice? These brutes have really helped us!”
They were stunned before looking over at where Han Xiao was pointing at to see the Silvers on the ground. Then, they realized, and surprise appeared on their faces.
That's right! Our hiring mission is to rescue the Silvers!
After so many things, the Silvers had finally been rescued in a strange way. Furthermore, they were in Han Xiao's hands. Han Xiao was not going to let go of this opportunity. The difficult part of rescuing the Silvers was Horlaide, and this part had been solved just like that. He almost wanted to thank DarkStar.
Han Xiao's words were even more useful than the Guard Captain Wilsander. They all listened to him and stopped the chase. Very soon, the other players came in aircrafts, protecting the Silvers again.
Wilsander requested for communication. ”The other brutes are all captured. The people you're chasing are the only ones left. How's it going?”
Han Xiao shook his head. ”They escaped. There was a very strong Super.”
”Why are you guys the only ones with a problem? If this gets out, these outsiders will doubt the authority of us Dragon Guards. More and more people will challenge us, threatening the security of Floating Dragon Island, destroying the peace of the residents. The long balance will be broken, and the world will turn into chaos. I don't even dare imagine it. When Lord Ames returns, my position in her heart will collapse.” Wilsander complained nonstop.
Han Xiao's mouth twitched. Don't you have any idea? Your impression in Ames' heart was collapsed from the start…
He did not have the heart to break Wilsander's fantasy; they would not be playmates if he did. Actually, creatures at their grade were the same as parameciums in Ames' eyes, and her subordinates were just domestic parameciums…
Han Xiao cut off Wilsander's complaints and said, ”Don't worry, I know who they are.”
At this time, a new idea surfaced in his mind. The reason that Ember did not have fears was because they kept things confidential. However, he did not know that his identity had been revealed by Han Xiao, and when his identity was exposed, he would definitely be very confused. Not knowing where he exposed any information, he would never be able to guess what was unique about Han Xiao.
Since he was the only one that knew about this intel, he could take advantage of it, revealing DarkStar's identity to Floating Dragon Island. Coincidentally, Ames had not been in a good mood recently. If someone beyond grade A targeted DarkStar, even Han Xiao would pity them.
