Chapter 548 Greed (2/2)
At the same time, a few others recognized him. They were all dressed in simple battle outfits that were a common sight in Juberly Hub.
The few of them were together in a group. Looking at Han Xiao departing, they exchanged gazes and discussed softly.
”Was that Black Star?”
”That's right, it's him!”
”Hehe, who would have thought we would find a large fish while replenishing our supplies?”
”Hurry up and inform the boss.”
…
Located near the periphery was a certain, not at all high-end, bar.
The few fellows who had spotted Han Xiao rushed over, and after scanning the place, they walked up to a seat in the corner of the bar. A burly human was seated there, wearing thick, heavy combat attire. He was drinking a bottle of strong liquor, which dripped down from the corner of his lips, wetting his messy beard.
”Boss Befuli, we found an enemy!”
The person who was called Boss Befuli slammed his bottle of wine down, and his body leaned forward. Under the dim lights of the bar, his malevolent face was revealed. If one were to judge his appearance by the standards of a normal space humans, his appearance would be a perfect fit for the description 'wanton and unrestrained'.
His eyes did not have any whites and were dark red in color like burning flames, and his pupils were completely white in color.
'Fiery Eyes' Befuli.
He was a ferocious space pirate who operated in the Fawn Star System and was a Grade B Super. He belonged to an infamous space pirate group that belonged to the Fawn Star System called the Purple Snake Space Pirates.
The Purple Snake Space Pirates had more than a dozen spaceships, and their captain was a Calamity Grade Super who had a bounty of 2,800,000 Enas issued by the Black Raven Civilization. When Han Xiao received the mission to kill a Grade A Super, the captain of the Purple Snake Space Pirates was a targeted whom he had considered. But since he had managed to get a Mission Completion Card, he did not take the risk.
More than two years ago when Han Xiao was completing missions with Frenzied Sword and the other players, they had once killed an officer of the Purple Snake Space Pirates, and the grudge had formed then. As a mercenary, having enemies was unavoidable, and Han Xiao was already used to it.
Befuli was an officer in the Purple Snake Space Pirates, and he had led a team to the Garton Star System so that they could make use of the chaos in Godora to rob others. At that moment, the team that he was leading were concealing their identity in Juberly Hub to rest and resupply. In the past, they had mainly operated in the Fawn Star System, so it was extremely easy for them to disguise themselves in the Garton Star System.
”Enemy? Who‽”
”Black Star!”
”I see.” Befuli began chuckling sinisterly. ”A few years ago, he got rid of Maddow's team. Even though I did not like that fellow, our captain has not forgotten about this debt.”
”Boss, Black Star is alone. Shall we make a move?” a space pirate asked softly with his eyes glowing fiercely.
As Befuli heard that, he burst into laughter. ”Hahaha, do you think that it is so easy to get rid of Black Star? Are you looking for death‽”
As he said that, Befuli's expression suddenly changed, and he choked the space pirate in front of him. ”Brat, you do not have the right to set your sights on such a character. You'd better learn some respect for the strong!”
This space pirate gulped in horror and hurriedly agreed with what Befuli had said. Befuli's temper was unpredictable, and he did not dare provoke Befuli.
Befuli released his grip and held up a wine glass. After finishing the wine in the glass, he stood up and walked toward the door.
”Little ones, follow me.”
The few space pirates hurriedly followed behind him and asked carefully, ”Boss, what are we going to do now?”
Befuli licked his lips, and a look of greed could be seen in his eyes. ”I hear that Black Star's spaceship is a high quality one. While he is still in the Hub Center, let's snatch his spaceship. Heh, I am sure that it will fetch us a tidy sum.”
