903 Outsider
Chu Nan closed his personal communication interface and rubbed his chin before falling into deep thought.
Although Grek was unyielding at first, when Chu Nan said that he was on the Kasha Kingdom and Planet Eton, his persistence immediately became a joke.
The reason why he could not relent previously was that Chu Nan, Uncle Mu Luo, and the others were not familiar with the Perseus Arm, so it was very difficult to find specific information. If he did not say it, Chu Nan and the others would not know.
However, now that Chu Nan had unexpectedly come to the Kasha Kingdom and even the capital planet of the Kasha Kingdom, Planet Eton, and had already obtained some information about Supremacy Lahir, it was meaningless for Grek to persist.
After Chu Nan gave a clear promise that as long as he found Supremacy Oville, he would let him leave, although Grek would not completely believe it, he did not have any other choice. Therefore, he still revealed some useful information to Chu Nan.
“Supremacy Lahir’s base?” Chu Nan frowned slightly, “I wonder if I can obtain more specific information there…”
After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan shook his head and gave up on this question.
He was unfamiliar with this place. It was definitely impossible to know the exact answer just by thinking here. If he wanted to know, he still had to make a trip.
What he needed to consider now were his next arrangements.
Although he was very concerned about Supremacy Oville’s matter, in comparison, the most urgent thing to resolve now was the problem of Tiago and the others.
Through his communication with Galostan, Chu Nan had successfully contacted the Orion Arm. Next, through Teacher Galostan, he could successfully reveal the situation of himself, Tiago, and the others and obtain their help.
Not to mention Chu Nan, just Tiago was a famous genius of the United States of Melaita. Now that he was missing, the United States of Melaita would definitely organize a force to save him.
As for the others, they were all extraordinary in strength and clearly had good backgrounds in their respective countries. If the news of them being trapped here spread, the various countries on the Orion Arm would definitely react accordingly.
However, Chu Nan knew their situation very well.
Chu Nan was powerful and could even pass through the stargate with his body and perform a super-spatial jump. Naturally, he was not worried, but Tiago and the others did not have such strength. It was definitely not so easy to bring them away.
At the same time, Chu Nan was still unable to confirm which country and faction on the Perseus Arm Jiggs was cooperating with to kidnap him, Tiago, and the others.
However, from his rational deduction, if this matter wanted to succeed, it required a lot of strength and the consequences were even more serious. Therefore, this behind-the-scenes faction would definitely not be too weak.
Under the monitoring of such a huge faction, it was clearly difficult to safely take Tiago and the others away.
If he was not careful and attracted the other party’s attention, not to mention luring out an even stronger enemy, just Master Rowe was enough to prevent Chu Nan from easily taking Tiago and the others away.
Most importantly, Chu Nan could not slowly wait for the Orion Arm to react and rescue him. Firstly, the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance was extremely xenophobic. The various countries on the Orion Arm might not be able to successfully enter the Perseus Arm to rescue them. Secondly, such a huge action was easier to attract the attention of the other party’s faction and would put Tiago and the others in danger.
Moreover, even if he ignored this, Chu Nan had always felt that the planet where Tiago and the others were was strange. It was not a long-term solution to let them stay there.
“Therefore… the most important thing now is to get them away, but what should I do?”
Chu Nan’s gaze landed on the subordinate of the Etoo Chamber of Commerce outside the door and he thought to himself that his luck was already very good this time. He happened to encounter an attack on the Etoo Chamber of Commerce’s caravan and obtained these conveniences because he saved them. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to do anything.
After carefully calculating for a while, Chu Nan stood up and arrived outside the door before patting the subordinate’s shoulder.
“Heh, tell me, how can I get a spaceship as soon as possible?”
“Ah?”
…
Leader Toyetul had a gloomy expression. All the subordinates in front of him were silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to move at all.
They knew very well that the leader must be in a very bad mood now. If anyone dared to provoke him at this moment, their outcome would definitely be very miserable.
After a long time, Leader Toyetul suddenly raised his hand and slapped hard, shattering a half-meter-thick rock table in front of him. He cursed angrily.
Although the subordinates standing at the front were in pain from the shattered rocks, all the subordinates heaved a sigh of relief.
The best outcome was that the leader could vent the anger in his heart.
Otherwise, with the leader’s usual temper, some unlucky guy might lose his head this time.
“Damn, I clearly passed through the experts of this Star Field. No one will find trouble with us. Where did this guy come from?”
Hearing Leader Toyetul’s curse, his subordinates looked at each other.
They could not answer this question, because the failure of this operation was indeed very surprising.
As cosmic pirates, it was not like they had never encountered a failed robbery operation, and it had happened many times.
Among these failed operations, there were some that failed because the intelligence of the robbed caravan was inaccurate. In the end, the other party’s firepower was too fierce and could not be taken down. There were also some that happened to encounter the escort fleet of the Kasha Kingdom attacking the cosmic pirates, causing the operation to fail. There were also various other reasons. However, among the various reasons for failure, the most powerless was to encounter a situation like today—to be defeated by an expert passing by.
Even if their cosmic pirate could be said to be the strongest cosmic pirate in the Kasha Kingdom and even the nearly a thousand light-years nearby Star Field, cosmic pirates were still cosmic pirates and could not be compared to regular armies. It was one thing to encounter those ordinary experts, but when they encountered super experts who were enough to face an entire armed fleet in space and even easily defeat them, they were helpless.
Today’s operation was like this.
Originally, they were already about to defeat the caravan of the Etoo Chamber of Commerce and snatch a large number of goods in the caravan, but a super expert suddenly appeared out of nowhere, causing all their previous efforts to be in vain.
It was one thing for the operation to not succeed, but they had encountered this situation many times and were mentally prepared.
What really angered and even pained Leader Toyetul was that super expert who destroyed five of their spaceships in a row.
That was five battleships!
Every cosmic battleship required 70 million Denars!
Such a precious battleship would be extremely painful to lose one in an ordinary battle, but now, they had lost five in a row!
They needed at least two years to earn back a total of 350 million points of loss—and that was under the circumstances of risking their lives.
However… what angered the leader the most was that he could not think of a way to take revenge.
Such a super expert who could easily kill the entire fleet alone was an extremely powerful high-level Heaven Control expert even if he was not a Star-Grade Martial Artist. Even the strength of the country would be unable to do anything to such an expert, let alone a mere cosmic pirate like them.
It was this helplessness that made him even angrier.
However, he could not blame his subordinate for this.
Blame them for being unable to deal with a high-level Heaven Control expert or even a Star-Grade Martial Artist? What a joke!
Looking at his subordinates’ helpless expressions, Leader Toyetul felt very helpless.
In the end, his shrewdness as a leader for many years still suppressed the anger in his heart, and began to arrange the subsequent handling of this matter.
Of course, it was impossible for them to take revenge on that super expert. Not to mention that he had long disappeared, it was basically impossible for them to find him. Firstly, even if they could find him, they could not do anything to him. Therefore, the best solution was to forget about this as soon as possible and find a new target to rob.
In fact… in order to avoid losses, they had to carefully avoid the Star Field where that super expert might appear to prevent themselves from being unlucky again.
Just as Leader Toyetul was giving orders one by one, another subordinate hurriedly walked in and interrupted him.
Leader Toyetul frowned and was about to reprimand him when that subordinate came to his side. With a complicated expression, he opened the personal terminal on his wrist and displayed the information on the virtual screen in front of him.
Leader Toyetul glanced at it and immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“It’s actually the Black Scorpion Token?”
After glancing at it twice, he looked even more surprised.
“Could it be that guy? What a coincidence?”
A moment later, a smile appeared on his face.
“Ha, it’s actually a guy from the Orion Arm. An outsider… We have hope of taking revenge this time…”
