Chapter 600: Return of Legend I

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The modern hologram detection system clearly could not capture the appearance of this giant in space. It was shocking to the crew when they saw the warship through photon detection mode. A few crew members started estimating the distance between both parties. That was quite far for beams to even hit the mechs, let alone to hit them with such accuracy. All 10 shots made contact at the joints between the ray gun and the mech itself! None of them missed.

Sniper? Sniper mech pilot!

That was the first phrase that popped up in people's mind.

That did not look good, thought the chief of the Xue Lai clan as colors were drained from her face, ”Order! Do not attack until further notice.” She could tell the missing hostility of the foes. Well, if the foes were hostile, the entire clan would have been toasted instead.

It was a warning shot, obviously.

No one was foolish enough to move a muscle even without her order, especially when the immense fatigue that raided them after the biggest threat in their career had been eliminated. The accuracy of the beams convinced them to have their hands off the interface too.

So, Ye Chong finally met the chief of the Xue Lai clan. It was a private meeting only involving both of them, as demanded by Ye Chong.

She looked at Ye Chong at the strangest curiosity. The young man appeared to be fairly ordinary for the leader of a gigantic warship. He did not seem trained judging by his slender physique, but it was that indifferent charisma of him that convinced her his identity.

Ye Chong scanned the chief in a fickle disbelief, for he could not imagine such a feeble woman to be the chief.

The chief never knew the name of this indifferent young man before her, though she had given countless missions of capturing the person named Ye Chong.

She never thought of it.

It was not far-fetched for that to happen to be honest. Over the years Ye Chong had changed, a part of his graceless nonchalance had been coated with an unknown charisma. That was why the chief did not recognize him, ”I am Ye Chong.” till he introduced himself.

The chief had lost the colors on her face again. She knew that name, she knew that name too well. She had been given lots of reports regarding this man disgraced by her people before the red-tailed beast incident.

She frowned as corners of her eyes wrinkled in dismay, Ye Chong could not help but sigh at her reaction of suppressed fear.

Perhaps... perhaps... she could be related to his mother.

Sadness filled him as he thought so, though his expression remained unchanged.

The chief was expecting to be killed for what she had done before, she closed her eyes and prayed for a peaceful death, ”Hey.” And Ye Chong gave her a microchip, ”Load this.”

Her eyes went wide as saucers when she opened her eyes. That was a pretty ancient microchip, justified by the model number printed on it - about one decade ago.

But why? Of all times? An outdated microchip?

In slight confusion she inserted the chip to the processor.

The Xue Lai people were getting restless on their ship. Their chief had been somehow ”led” to the suspicious-looking warship that almost killed their people just now. It was not a good feeling as they felt they had just fed the chief to a hungry tiger.

Back on Darkniss, Appilok glanced at Sang Kan, ”Kan Kan, how do you think?” Said he as he looked at the Xue Lai clan, ”Our leader asked us to wait.”

”Yeah, what else can we do?” Sneered Sang Kan, ”Like what could they do anyway? Remember what they did to our teacher? They are fortunate to have yet encountered us back in the He Yue galaxy.”

Appilok went completely silent as he knew he had just opened a wrong conversation.

”Shhh, careful with your words.” Scowled Rui Bing, ”You don't know the entire truth, Sang Kan.”

Rui Bing was right, she had seen the visual, she had checked out the logs. She knew the actual connection between Ye Chong and the Xue Lai clan, and certainly it did not feel good to hear something offensive from an outsider who knew nothing like Sang Kan. She believed she would not be able to face this meeting if she was the one instead.
