Chapter 385 Murder and Turn Poin (1/2)
At this moment, Peggy thought that the DarkStar mothership had specifically come just to take him in. For him, the DarkStar had made such a large display. He felt the attention of DarkStar and was moved to tears.
The spaceship approached the connecting channel, and the mother ship captain waited at the channel entrance with other troops. Just as they were about to tear open the door of the spacecraft with their power, Peggy opened the door and walked out. Seeing everyone was a hybrid Godoran, Peggy was filled with excitement.
He had finally found the organization!
With an excited tone, Peggy said, ”I've been waiting for you for a very long time.”
DarkStar warriors initially had cold expressions, but now, they could not help but look at each other in bewilderment.
It was the first time that they had seen a target who not only did not resist but also took the initiative to cooperate, looking like he had just returned home. Did this guy not fear death?
”Bold!” The captain nodded in approval before waving. ”Seize them!”
DarkStar warriors swarmed in. Peggy was pressed on the ground, all the while thinking that this was DarkStar's welcome ceremony. He confidently shouted, ”Rest assured, don't have to doubt my loyalty, I absolutely will not resist!”
”Boss, I think they are for real,” one of his men said with a sad face.
Peggy glared and yelled, ”Shut up! What do you know? This is a method to test our loyalty!”
The DarkStar warriors cuffing Peggy heard this and sighed. ”If everyone could be as cooperative as you, it would save us a lot of trouble.”
The scavengers were taken to prison and tied to a black metal execution column. The captain walked up to them and said coldly, ”I need you to answer my questions honestly. Among the Silvers you captured, one of them was carrying what we want, a black bead. Where did that bead go?”
Although Ember had already gotten the 'answer', the style of the DarkStar was never to just trust easily. Letting go of the rest easily was not a terrorist organization's code of conduct.
After Ember reported to the headquarters, this DarkStar spaceship had been on standby in the Fawn Galaxy and immediately jumped to intercept Peggy. Their first goal was Peggy's spaceship route recorder so that they could search along the route where the Silvers were thrown out. The second was to interrogate Peggy. DarkStar believed that torture could get more information than normal inquiry—pain could make people honest.
Peggy was stunned.
”Didn't you already ask me?”
”Indeed, I want you to tell us again…” the captain subconsciously replied. Suddenly, he paused, and his expression changed.
Wait a minute!
He thought that Peggy was referring to Ember, but with some thought, it did not make sense. Ember had pretended to be a mercenary, so how did Peggy recognize that Ember was a DarkStar member?
Ember, who was listening from the side, opened his eyes wide in disbelief. ”How could I have been exposed? I'm did not reveal any flaws!”
”How did you know the person who asked you belonged to DarkStar!” The captain grabbed Peggy's neck, slowly adding force. Peggy's face turned purple, almost suffocating, and he opened his mouth with difficulty.
”Th—the interrogator… clai—claimed to be a Dark—DarkStar agent, cough cough cough!”
Ember frowned. ”Captain Sarota, let go. You're strangling him. Let him finish the whole story.”
Captain Sarota backed off, and Peggy coughed loudly, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
Eventually, Peggy realized that something was wrong, and with a hoarse voice, he said while shivering, ”A mysterious hooded man who claimed to be a DarkStar emissary found me. His target was that black bead as well, so I told him of its whereabouts. I have always admired you, so when he promised to let me join DarkStar as long as I lied to the next group of people that came to ask about the bead, I agreed readily. Not long after, a self-proclaimed mercenary came. I followed the orders that the DarkStar emissary gave me and got rid of him…”
Self-proclaimed mercenary? That's me! Ember realized. His face became very unpleasant, and his tone turned cold immediately. ”So, you lied to me!”
Peggy's expression changed distinctly. ”What? You're the self-proclaimed mercenary? You guys are the real DarkStar, and that DarkStar emissary was a fake‽”
The expressions on Sarota and Ember's faces turned very serious.
