Chapter 383 Excellent as Always, But Donst Touch the Trophy (2/2)
”Who are you? What do you want?”
”I am a mercenary—my employer is one of the Silvers. The prisoners have been rescued, so you are no longer our enemy. Now I want to ask you something, did you kill two Silvers? We want to know the details; I can pay a certain intel fee for it.”
Ember chose to impersonate a mercenary. Only mercenaries knew about the two dead Silvers, so the motive of asking about it was reasonable. Otherwise, it would have caused a lot of suspicions, and they might have gotten reported as the people who attacked the slave market. In his mind, he had not been exposed, so no one would know their DarkStar identity.
But his choices happened to cause a coincidental phenomenon; Han Xiao and Ember's identities switched!
Peggy was convinced. He thought that Han Xiao was 'DarkStar', and Ember, who really belonged to DarkStar, became regarded as DarkStar's enemy!
More coincidentally, because everyone only had a part of the intel, both Peggy and Ember were kept in the dark. Only Han Xiao could barely see the truth, and the actions that he took led the two of them to deviate further from the truth!
”Are you a mercenary‽” Hatred appeared in Peggy's eyes. It was the mercenaries who had made him make such a huge loss, yet they wanted intel‽ If not for that DarkStar agent's advice, I wouldn't even talk to you!
”As long as you are willing to answer,” Ember said, ”I can pay 50,000 to make up for your loss. This is a large sum of money.”
DarkStar had deep pockets. Ember directly transferred 10,000 deposit, and he had confidence that he could make Peggy talk.
Even though Peggy was not a money slave, he was also shocked by this generosity—it did not look like mercenaries at all.
His eyes turned around, pretending to be moved by the money, and started talking about the process of capturing the Silvers, only hiding the Secret Message Bead.
As expected, Ember listened to the very end and found the information that they wanted was missing. He had no choice but to make his goal clear. ”Did you get a black bead from these two people?”
”What bead? Never seen before, I threw them out of the ship and was too lazy to waste time frisking. The thing you're talking about is probably drifting in the universe.
Peggy sneered in his heart and lied, following Han Xiao's advice.
A flash of disappointment flickered in Ember's eyes.
This was the worst result!
If the carrier's corpse had accidentally been caught by a star's gravity, the Secret Message Bead would have turned to dust as well. If absorbed by a black hole, it would also not ever be found.
”By the way, has anyone ever asked you the same question?” Ember suddenly asked.
”No.” Peggy denied it immediately.
Ember frowned and transferred the rest of the reward to Peggy before leaving with a heavy heart.
Now, the trail had been broken. Their task force had no use, so they could only report it to the headquarters.
In the spaceship, Peggy looked at the black communication screen before smiling, full of anticipation.
Joining DarkStar had always been his goal, but because DarkStar was too mysterious, he had not had an opportunity to contact them. That had always been a great regret for him.
And now, the opportunity that he had been dreaming of had fallen from the sky!
I have made a contribution to DarkStar! After waiting for so long, I've finally caught the opportunity. I finally, finally, can join DarkStar…
…
Near the ruins of the slave market, the players did not have to return to the guards. They were temporarily settling the Volga brothers and Aroshia down.
They surrounded Aroshia like butterflies. Aroshia's beauty was over the top, so it was very pleasant to the eyes. Furthermore, she was a beauty suffering from amnesia. With Bun-Hit-Dog as the representative, the hormones of most of the males were flooding, and they chatted with Aroshia excitedly.
Aroshia was very calm. She did not have any interest in the surroundings, so she was only replying from time to time.
On the side, the god players of the various clubs kept their distance, maintained their reserve, and chatted with each other.
At this moment, all the Black Star Mercenary Group players triggered a new mission simultaneously.
