Chapter 187: Robbed (2/2)

There was a medium-sized spacecraft ahead of Lu Yin that was slowly ambling along. There were hundreds of people on the spacecraft, though most were Seekers carrying weapons. There were only a few Sentinels, Melders, and a single Limiteer aboard.

“Captain, there’s a signal coming from up ahead. There’s a spacecraft approaching us at a fast speed,” a villainous-looking man excitedly reported as he leaned over the control panel in the control room.

The middle-aged man, the “captain,” had a fierce face. He held a machete in his hand and seemed to emanate a villainous aura. His eyes gleamed as he listened to the report. “How fast?”

“At least seven to ten times faster than our spacecraft.”

He was delighted by the anwer. “Alright, make preparations to rob him. Seems like we’ve landed upon a cash cow.”

“Yes, captain.”

After the orders were given, the hundreds of people in the spacecraft began bustling about. They were a recently formed group of pirates which had not even conducted five pirating raids yet. Although they were not even close to being experienced pirates, their strength was not bad, and they at least had a Limiteer among their ranks.

Generally, most small-scale interstellar pirates did not have any Limiteers, as only experienced, large-scale groups would have any Limiteer pirates. Sometimes, such groups would even have Explorer level powerhouses. Thus, for an inexperienced pirate group, their strength was not too bad. Of course, because they were not experienced, their knowledge was poor. At the very least, they did not recognize the Astral-10 insignia that was emblazoned on Lu Yin’s personal spacecraft.

“Warning, warning, the region ahead has been sealed. Warning, warning, the region ahead has been sealed. Please make preparations. Please make preparations.”

Lu Yin was astonished and looked outside the spacecraft. Did someone seal me in?

Pirates had a way to seal space, and many pirate spacecraft had undergone modifications to seal a large area. After all, they had to have some tricks up their sleeves if they wanted to plunder others for a living.

Through the spacecraft’s communications device, Lu Yin heard the middle-aged pirate captain speak. “Friend, give up and do not resist. You should know who we are by now, and as the captain, I guarantee that we will not hurt you so long as you cooperate. Listen, immediately fly your spacecraft into mine. And I do mean ‘immediately.’ Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Lu Yin was flabbergasted; he was being robbed! He looked into the distance to see a medium-sized spacecraft silently hovering in the middle of outer space. It seemed sinister on the outside, but there was also a strange design on it. It was a pirate ship.

A strange fluctuation filled the space around him. These were the fluctuations that were sealing the void. His ship would be damaged the moment he tried to barge his way through this area since these fluctuations would interfere with the spacecraft’s system and cause it to malfunction. Thus, he had no choice but to stop here.

“Friend, are you testing my patience? Immediately bring your spacecraft over.” The middle-aged pirate captain’s tone had become more stern.

Lu Yin inhaled deeply and guided his spacecraft towards the pirate ship.

His spacecraft swayed, but it landed firmly. When the cabin door opened, Lu Yin immediately saw dozens of star energy guns aimed at him. There were a dozen pirates ready in formation for him, and there were at least five Melders among them.

“Get out,” someone barked as they all fiercely stared at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin calmly walked out as a cruel-looking man approached to frisk him.

Lu Yin frowned. “Brother, I don’t have a habit of being touched by another man.”

“Behave yourself,” the man barked dismissively before reaching out towards Lu Yin while another man went to search the small spacecraft.

Lu Yin couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He lifted his leg, kicking the man approaching him and sending him flying before he turned around to kick another pirate. The next moment, the dozen surrounding star energy guns were trained on him. “Don’t move, kiddo, and don’t bother trying to resist.”

Lu Yin glanced at his personal gadget and saw that the highest local power level indicated was 7,000: a Limiteer, and not even a peak Limiteer at that. His lips rose arrogantly. “Sorry, but you only invited trouble onto your ship.” He then unleashed his star energy and knocked all of the pirates around him unconscious before heading straight for the control room.

At that moment within the command room, the middle-aged pirate captain stared at the screen in disbelief. The ruffian beside him was dazed as well. “Captain, this brat’s definitely not simple. It looks like you’ll have to intervene personally.”

The middle-aged captain’s face was twisted, as he had noticed a crucial detail; that brat had glanced at his gadget before acting. He must have been looking at the local power levels. The captain had not hidden his power level, so that meant that his opponent definitely knew his power level. If this kid still dared to act, then it could only mean that he was confident in his own abilities and that he was not afraid of a Limiteer. This brat was clearly only a Melder, but he was confident about battling above his rank? Those who could do so were known as Realmbreakers and were rarely seen, but each one was a genius.

The captain was regretting his actions as he realized that they should not have provoked such a genius. There was an adage in their pirate circles that said that they should not provoke any young or extremely old people who travelled alone. He had only remembered this saying now, but it looked like he had already angered one of those geniuses.

“Captain, he’s here!” the ruffian screamed in shock.
