Chapter 393: It’s Moving My Hear (2/2)

Northgate Kong frowned. No one? Where’s the person?

On the planet filled with captives, a simple-looking man silently stared at the heavens. Beside him was a middle-aged captain, who was blowing out a smoke ring, and another dozen mercenaries.

“Brother, you’re very calm. Not bad. Only with this sort of attitude will you be able to survive in the universe. This uncle here hasn’t seen a youth as cool as you for a very long time.” The middle-aged captain sighed as he looked at the silent man.

Nearby, Qin Chen glanced around.

“Actually, the universe is rather dangerous, but as long as your heart is as steady as a boulder, have the courage to face difficulties, and hold onto a sacrificial spirit, you’ll be able to obtain your own territory some day.” The middle-aged man spoke up again, this time more emotionally. As he spoke, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became a bit heavier.

The silent man’s expression never changed, and he just continued to stare at the heavens.

The captain blew out a smoke ring. “This uncle here has made many sacrifices for his comrades. Too many.”

“Captain, we pledge our lives to serve you!” the dozen mercenaries around the captain shouted, which drew a great deal of attention.

Qin Chen frowned and glanced over at the group with an odd expression.

The nearby Jared growled, “Shut up!”

The middle-aged captain pursed his lips.

The simple looking male looked at Jared. “You shut up. He speaks well, and his words have moved my heart.”

Jared was furious as he clenched his fists. “Kid, do you know who you’re talking to? I’m from the Blaze Realm!”

“I’m from the Ice Domain.” The man’s lips curled up as Jared trembled in anger.

The middle-aged captain looked appreciatively at the simple looking man. “Little brother, do you want to join this uncle’s mercenary group? I like you.”

“Brother, there’s a bright future for you if you follow the captain!” the surrounding mercenaries shouted together.

Qin Chen glanced over again. This time, he was speechless.

…

At that moment, Northgate Taisui turned around while in the space above the planet, and his gaze swept past all the powerhouses and looked towards the planet that was being used to detain the captives. The void around his body distorted, and although no one could see his appearance, his pair of eyes seemed to appear in everyone’s thoughts. They felt as if a boundless ocean of stars was oppressing them, which made their hearts pound wildly.

Finally, Northgate Taisui’s gaze lingered on the simple looking man. “Reveal yourself, little brat.” The man was captured even as Northgate Taisui was speaking, and the man’s appearance changed. That man was actually Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was powerless. He had deliberately put on the universal armor when his spacecraft was captured and then sneaked onto a small spacecraft to blend in with the ten people who had his appearance to reach the planet. Despite all his efforts, he had still been discovered.

The moment he was captured, the middle-aged captain as well as all the surrounding people were stunned. Wasn’t he Lu Yin? How did he sneak his way into their group?

Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed; this person was interesting.

Jared was mad. So it was this bastard.

The middle-aged captain choked on his own spit; had he said too much just now?

In outer space, under the attentive gazes of countless others, a layer of star energy wrapped around Lu Yin’s body, taking control of him just like a marionette.

The layer of star energy was there to ensure that he would not die in space, but it was also because Northgate Taisui was not aware of Lu Yin’s abilities. Even without this protection of star energy, Lu Yin would not die, because his physical strength even as a Limiteer was sufficient for him to survive in space.

Northgate Lie sneered when he saw Lu Yin being captured. He had already warned Lu Yin that he would not be able to escape.

Lu Yin frowned. He had indeed been too rash.

Poison Flame’s expression turned cold, as he had hoped that Lu Yin would actually escape, which would make it easier for their Blaze Realm to act. In the face of such huge gains, Lu Yin’s titles and status was not enough to protect him.

“Alright, little fellow. As a representative of the Ten Arbiters Council, you witnessed my Northline Flowzone’s Northgate Platform Contest, and our Northline Flowzone has treated you extremely courteously. But now, you’ve tried to leave without bidding farewell. That’s going a tad bit too far,” Northgate Kong said firmly and without any rush. Everything was now under control.

Lu Yin apologetically replied, “My apologies, Northgate Elder. This student has some urgent matters that I must attend to.”

Northgate Kong nodded. “You may leave, but shouldn’t you share with us what you managed to discover within the centipede's body? Little fellow, you’re a sharp one, so there’s no need for me to state the obvious. Relax, I won’t let you leave empty-handed.”

If not for Northgate Taisui, Astral-10 would be enough to ensure Lu Yin’s safety. But now, Lu Yin didn’t even feel tempted to contact Astral-10. His objective was clear from the start, and he knew that, at best, he would only be able to keep one of the pikes. Even so, he would not allow himself to be threatened into handing them over. It had to be voluntary; this was his baseline.

“Elder Northgate, are you talking about the three pikes that were obtained from the centipede's body?” Lu Yin asked loudly.

Many were shocked, as it was indeed about the pikes.
