Chapter 398: Predicament

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

20 days of flight was not too lengthy. For someone as used to space travel as Ye Chong, it was like a walk in the park. However, the ship was too technologically outdated and he was uncomfortable with the design. He stayed in Wei You's cabin every single day. The rest of the crew were oblivious to the presence of a powerful combat expert on the ship. Of course, that was due to Ren Zeri's cooperation.

Ren Zeri's working hours dropped to its minimum, and the crew members watched him visit Wei You's cabin very often.

It looked like the relationship between their Captain and Wei You was developing rapidly! Of course, this development was celebrated by some, and mourned by others. However, many of them were curious - how did their diligent Captain come to neglect his work out of love? That was not his style at all!

Nonetheless, no one was particularly unhappy with it. They had travelled this route many times, and it was a safe route. Their work was easy, and aside from avoiding the occasional asteroid in their path, there was not much to worry about during the flight.

Ren Zeri did all he was asked of, and did not make any funny moves. Everyday, when he looked into the terrible, emotionless eyes of that young man, any thoughts of betrayal would vanish without a trace. In the face of absolute power, he had no room for negotiation.

A strong person like him would be terrifying to deal with, especially now when they were face to face. He could not make out this young man. He had never heard of anyone like him. All the strong personalities that he recalled were not compatible with the young man. So young, but so strong - could only be the Congregation elite, Luo Shi, who fit the description. He had seen Luo Shi before, and this young man was nothing like him.

Nonetheless, all of this was not important. What was important was his own pitiful life.

The starship finally docked at Guang Hua, and all the crew members cheered with joy. As they finished unloading all the goods on their ship, they finally earned the three days of free time to themselves. The crew members all left the ship in good spirits, ready to put their time to good and proper use.

Ren Zeri, Wei You and Ye Chong were the last to disembark the ship.

”Do you have any requests?” Ye Chong looked at Wei You and asked calmly, ”As long as it is within my powers, I will do it to repay your deed of saving my life.”

Wei You replied with respect, ”I do not ask for much, I just hope that my family can be safe.” After all these days, she knew just how strong this seemingly fragile young man was!

”Oh, that's not too much to ask!” Ye Chong looked to Ren Zeri, and the latter barely suppressed a shudder.

”Eat this.” Ye Chong produced a red pill from his pouch. He was not sure if his earlier threats would work. He was too inexperienced in this matter, and felt the need to take precautions.

Ren Zeri took the pill with trembling hands. He knew he had no choice in the matter as he swallowed it in one gulp.

”Come over here,” Ye Chong waved to Wei You and said.

Wei You quickly stepped forward to Ye Chong's side, and Ye Chong whispered for a while by her ear.

Ren Zeri could feel his heart palpitate like mad. Of course he knew that the red pill was no candy, and he could already guess what was coming for him.

As expected, Ye Chong said to him, ”The pill you took just now is a slow acting poison. It's not lethal, but you'll need to take regular medication to control its symptoms. I've told her the formula for the medicine. She will prescribe it to you every half a year. I'm counting on you two the next time I return to Dankwood planet. If anything happens to her, your entire Tribe will face my wrath.”

Ren Zeri's face twitched, and quickly agreed to his terms.

Ye Chong's final sentence was a clear threat. However, only he himself knew that it was pure gibberish. When would he return to Dankwood planet? Possibly never! No one understood better than him the wandering lifestyle that he was soon to embark on! However, for the sake of scaring Ren Zeri, he lied anyway. He believed that, with this degree of threatening, it would be highly unlikely for Ren Zeri to harm Wei You.

Wei You was also satisfied with the current arrangement.

He was a goner now for the rest of his life! Ren Zeri's face was ashen, but there was nothing he could do!

”Farewell, both of you!” Ye Chong disappeared like a ghost, further impressing the fear into Ren Zeri.

Ye Chong did not enter the nearest city, but instead flew Moon King for a few hundred kilometers before he settled down near another city.

In the middle of the night, Moon King landed silently on a clearing about 80 kilometers away from the nearest city. The holographic screen told Ye Chong that there was no one within 30 kilometers of him, so Ye Chong was not worried about being noticed.
