Chapter 529 Ridiculous Truth 1 (1/2)
”Have you heard about the news in the Garton Star System?” one of the fat Godorans said with a chuckle. He, Kedan, had an amiable look on his face. He had once been part of Godora's Investigation Department but had been fired because of negligence. He had even stayed in jail for a good few years because of that. After leaving prison, he had migrated to Colony Planet Gautin and had stayed there ever since. The two others beside him were his friends.
”Of course, I've heard the news.” Another person shook his head. ”The television is reporting how many low-grade civilizations in the Star System are suffering from a calamity.”
”It's none of our business at all. Why are you mentioning this? Could it be that you are trying to steal a card while we are distracted?”
”Scram,” Kedan said with exasperation before whispering, ”Do you still remember what I told you guys about?”
”Which matter?”
”The matter when I was still in the Investigation Department.”
”Che, you've bragged about that matter a few hundred times, and we are tired of hearing it.”
”Do you know, that planet is currently on the list of calamity planets?” Kedan chuckled. ”I wonder how it has developed over the years. I want to go back and take a look. Do you guys want to come with me?”
”Are you sure? That planet isn't safe now.”
”The older one becomes, the more one wants to look back at one's past achievements.” Kedan chuckled. ”Furthermore, I have a friend who stayed behind in that place, so he can receive us and be our guide. Besides, the rescue squad is there, and we can either pretend to be spectators or help with the disaster relief.”
As the two of them heard that, their tones became strange.
”That can't be right? He's still on that backward planet? Won't he be bored to death?”
”Are you a fool? His hibernation chamber can be connected to the net, and I have always been in touch with him. He…”
Kedan rubbed his palms with excitement, but just when he was about to continue, the doorbell rang. The sudden ringing of the doorbell caused the three of them to jump up from their seats.
”Who would come at such a time?”
Kedan had a doubtful look on his face as he walked to the door and peered into the peephole. He did not know the few standing outside the door. They were all dressed in combat attire with a ring-shaped emblem on the center of their chest. Kedan felt as though he had definitely seen that emblem before somewhere.
Opening the small window at the top of the door, Kedan showed his face and asked warily, ”Who are you guys looking for?”
The other party sized up him up before asking, ”Are you Golden Mitland?”
Strange, why would these people know the IGN of my web account? Kedan immediately felt that something was wrong. After denying that he was Golden Mitland, he immediately tried to shut the window. At that moment, the person outside the door raised a laser rifle and pointed it right at Kedan's head.
Kedan's body froze in place, and he did not dare move the slightest bit. His legs began to tremble, and he thought that the other party wanted to rob him. Before he could even plead for mercy, he heard the next question from the other party, which sent shivers down his spine.
”Do you remember Angora?”
”I… I don't know him….” Kedan's eyes widened and his lips trembled. At that moment, the anxiousness that he felt was on a whole different level. It was as though this name had a frightening magic.
The person outside the door shook his head and said, ”It's okay even if you don't know him. Follow me if you don't want to suffer.”
”To… to where?”
”Black Star wants to see you.”
…
A couple of days later, the Sky Ring spaceship silently waited outside the atmosphere of Planet Aquamarine. Han Xiao piloted the BlackLight Stealth and went up to receive them.
There were only two other people in the control room, Hannes and Bennett, and this was their first time entering the universe in a spaceship. They watched the scenery on the outside in a daze as they enjoyed this novel experience. However, it was a mere few seconds from the surface to outside the atmosphere, and they reached the universe before they could even react.
