Chapter 481 Thank You (1/2)

Aesop coughed. ”You've won this game, but I don't want to see Ames. Black star, can we discuss it?”

Han Xiao suppressed his murderous intent and said with surprise, ”Do you not want to see your apprentice that much?”

”Back then, I only casually adopted a little girl, spent some time with her, and taught her the method to awaken her Super talent. How could I have known that she would go on to become a Beyond Grade A whose name has spread across an entire Star Field?” Aesop shook his head. ”If only I'd known, I wouldn't have adopted her. With her strength, if she finds me, there definitely won't be any way for me to escape. Those kind of days without freedom will be the same as imprisonment. It brings me horror just thinking about it.”

Han Xiao's mouth twitched. Casually adopting a little girl who turned out to be one of the strongest people many years later, why does this sound so familiar?

Furthermore, this old man looks so reluctant. Hey, you can show off, but don't go over the line, damn it!

Holding back the desire to criticize, Han Xiao asked, ”So, why did you come back since you don't want to see her?”

Aesop did not possess the demeanor that one would expect from someone who was countless years old. Like a stubborn old man, he said, ”The more she wants to find me, the more I want to linger before her eyes.”

A horrible personality as always…

Han Xiao was speechless. In his previous life, Aesop had wandered everywhere and was a mystery shopkeeper in the players' eyes. But one day, he was dragged into a conflict between two Star System civilizations. As always, he carried out a 'game'. However, having walked along the shore for so long, it was inevitable that he would get his shoes wet one day. Aesop failed, and it cost him his life. He did not met Ames again. After a hundred years of searching, Ames only saw Aesop's tombstone in the end.

Ames did everything based on her mood, and she acted out of impulse. She vented her rage and smashed every planet in the territory of these two civilizations, including their mother planets, ending countless lives. The survivors not in the territory at that time filed a complaint to the three Universal Civilizations. Such a violent act severely violated the lawful accords, so Floating Dragon lost its privileges and was besieged by numerous armies.

At that time, a large number of players accepted missions and took part in the siege.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Countless battleships were destroyed in the battle, as was Floating Dragon Island. Although Ames did not die in the battle, she disappeared.

The renowned Beyond Grade A from the Shattered Star Ring was never seen again.

Of course, that all happened in a very late version.

Since Han Xiao had captured Aesop, if he let Ames meet Aesop, it would be something that had not happened in his previous life, so he did not know how it would turn out.

Nonetheless, the tragedies of two civilizations with trillions of civilians being slaughtered, Floating Dragon Island destroyed, and Ames being heavily injured should not happen again.

Never mind, I owe her a favor. I shall give him to Ames. Killing him will only cause unnecessary risks.

Shaking his head, Han Xiao kept his thoughts about killing Aesop to himself.

Aesop could only see into a small part of the future, but what he knew about was the overall trend!

There was no reason for him to be afraid!

Han Xiao placed his arms around Aesop's shoulder and whispered to Aesop's ear, ”I refuse.”

Aesop's expression stiffened. Why did he whisper then? It gave him false hope…

Han Xiao contacted Ames on his communicator. As soon as the image showed up, Ames saw Aesop, who was standing beside Han Xiao. Her beautiful eyes brightened as a tint of a smile appeared on her face.

”Aesop, my teacher, I've really missed you.”

Aesop smiled bitterly. From Ames' tone, he could hear a strong sense of dissatisfaction. Even without using his foresight ability, he could tell that he was in a bad situation.

After hiding for so many years, who knew how much unhappiness Ames had suppressed; falling into her hands would be truly horrible.

Then, Ames turned to look at Han Xiao and said, ”Wait for me, I'm almost there!”

The image turned black right after; she was very quick to act.

Aesop was frustrated. He turned to look at Han Xiao. ”Won't you reconsider?”

”She has already seen you. Do you think I can possibly let you go?” Han Xiao smiled.

Not much later, Ames' spaceship arrived at the port. Han Xiao took Aesop to the pier, and Ames saw him as soon as she got off her spaceship. She walked over with a fearsome aura!

Han Xiao's hand that grabbed Aesop's shoulder clearly felt the old man's body shiver.

”Dragon Emperor‽”

At this moment, the pedestrians near the pier were in an uproar. With faces of horror, they hurried back far away. They had not expected one of the strongest people in the Shattered Star Ring to suddenly appear.

”Don't you have something to say to me?” Ames was expressionless.

Aesop sighed as if he accepted his fate. ”Alright, I should have come back to see you long ago and shouldn't have hidden from you. Let's not stand here and let others watch, let's go.”

As he was speaking, he walked up the gangway. Before entering the spacecraft, he looked back at Han Xiao, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Ames was about to return to the ship, but she suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at Han Xiao.

She paused. With a serious and solemn tone, she said, ”Thank you.”

Han Xiao waved his hand. ”It's a small matter. I'm just repaying my favor.”

”No, I owe you.”

Ames' tone was unquestionable. She suddenly hesitated before slowly reaching out. The soft black sleeves slid down her smooth arm, revealing her slender white palm, and she patted Han Xiao on his shoulder.
