  The heavens were truly on his side!

  Jabra then bellowed, and his voice covered the entire battlefield.

  “The reinforcements of the Black Star Army have arrived. Stop resisting if you don’t want to die!”

  All the Black Star Guards were then dumbfounded.

  We haven’t even reported our names, and you beat us to it? Why do you look more like a member of the Black Star Guards than us?

  The effect of those words was obvious.

  The faces of the enemy changed abruptly, and their hearts sank.

  The morale of the Enya Hub soldiers increased greatly!

  The moment they thought about the Beyond Grade A standing behind them. They all felt at ease.

  To ordinary soldiers, the presence of a Beyond Grade A was like a mental pillar for them.

  “Black Star Army…” The members of the Punisher Alliance looked at the Black Star Guards with a strange look in their eyes.

  An organization like this that could roam unhindered in the universe seemed extremely distant from them. It was not a level that they could even come into contact with.

  Upon seeing the members of the Black Star Guards, everyone was extremely excited as though they had seen their idol. To a Super, a famous Calamity Grade group was a superstar in the Super world.

  …

  “We have obtained the item. Let’s leave!”

  A couple of individuals who were dressed in disguises escaped from the battlefield.

  They were secretly escorting the stolen Evolutionary Totem to safety while the main army was being tied down. As famous galactic pirates in the black market, they had various items and suitable Esper Abilities to aid them.

  Spaceships flew past in the sky, searching for traces of the thieves. However, the thieves hid among the allies and under shelter to avoid being spotted.

  Just when they were about to run out of an alley, they felt their shoulders become heavy, and they were pressed down by a powerful force, preventing them from moving.

  A breathing sound then appeared behind them. They did not detect anything before this, and their hair immediately stood on end.

  Turning around, a suave appearance appeared before their eyes.

  “Where do you think you’re going with the goods that I sold?”

  The voice was extremely calm, but it sounded like thunder in their ears.

  This face before them was extremely famous in the universe. Perhaps ordinary individuals might not recognize it, but every organization would definitely recognize the owner of this face.

  He was an ally of the dynasty, ‘Enemy of the Arcane’, ‘Indestructible Body’ Black Star!

  The galactic thieves froze in place and did not dare move.

  Han Xiao snorted coldly, and nanoparticles flowed out from his clothes. The nanoparticles then transformed into cuffs to lock all of them in place. With a wave of his arm, a mechanical soldier appeared beside him.

  “Take this back to where it came from.” Han Xiao pointed at the Evolutionary Totem.

  When the chaos erupted, Han Xiao, who was training his energy in seclusion, noticed what had happened. He tacitly allowed the Black Star Guards to take action and stop this storm, and he also detected the Evolutionary Totem being stolen.

  After plenty of practice, Han Xiao had already formed a Soul Connection with the Evolution Cube, and the effects of the Soul Connection were similar to what Psyker previously had. He was able to detect the location of the Evolution Cube.

  At the same time, he would also be able to detect the Evolutionary Totems within a certain range. More accurately, he was able to detect the evolution energy within them.

  There was no need for him to interfere in the battle between Calamity Grades, and his Black Star Guards were sufficient to take care of such an enemy. However, he would not be able to sit idly by the side if an Evolutionary Totem was stolen.

  With the interference of the Black Star Army, the chaos would be suppressed extremely quickly. The people who came up with this plan definitely did not think that he would appear.

  Han Xiao looked at the thieves that he had caught and revealed a smile.

  “Now… tell me everything you know.”

  Chapter 942 - Want to Escape? Do You Think That“s Possible?

  Hadavy strangled the neck of one of the Calamity Grade fugitives like a little chicken. This fugitive was already covered in wounds all over and could not break free from Hadavy’s grip. He launched a wave of attacks in desperation, but his attacks were not capable of breaking through Hadavy’s defenses.

  “Useless…” Hadavy closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment as he enjoyed the wave of attacks.

  The next moment, his eyes glowed with a fierce light, and he snapped the enemy’s neck.

  Ka-cha!

  The enemy’s head immediately drooped down, and his backbone was destroyed. Such a wound was not fatal to a Calamity Grade, and the fugitive immediately activated the healing ability in his cells to recover from his injuries.

  Hadavy, however, would not give the enemy the chance to recover and slammed him into the ground with a punch. The Black Star Guards beside him then swarmed over and tore this enemy into shreds.

  Hadavy enjoyed fighting powerful enemies to bring himself pressure. However, he was not interested in bullying these ordinary Calamity Grades alone and wanted to take care of the battle as quickly as possible.

  Black Star’s Black Star Guards were all carefully chosen elites within the army. Hadavy was a Beyond Grade A seed and had a huge advantage against an ordinary Calamity Grade Super. He was famous in the Shattered Star Ring for his defense, and these kids would not even be able to break through his skin.

  The instant the Black Star Army intervened, the fate of these fugitives was determined. Only one of these Calamity Grade fugitives was left alive, and Hadavy had intentionally left him alive.

  With the enemies being taken care of, Ludwell’s two bodyguards were finally at ease. They did not care about their own injuries but immediately deactivated the protective shield around Ludwell’s grandson to check if he had any injuries.

  After ensuring that he was alright, both of them walked forward to Hadavy and expressed their gratitude.

  “On behalf of His Excellency Ludwell, I thank all of you for your assistance. I will truthfully report your contributions to him.”

  “Ludwell? Who is he?” Hadavy was puzzled.

  Unlike Feidin, he was completely clueless about the structure of the dynasty officials. He was only concerned about becoming a Beyond Grade A Super and was not too interested in anything else.

  “He is a high political official in the Crimson Dynasty…” The bodyguard then described Ludwell’s title and position before pointing to the young man by the side. “This is His Excellency Ludwell’s grandson, and our job is to protect him. The consequences would have been dire if not for all of you.”

  “Oh, so we saved the child of a high official?” Hadavy’s eyes widened, and he chuckled. “Heh, you guys are truly lucky that we were on holiday here. Or perhaps it should be said that the enemy is unlucky. It is a small matter to us anyway, and we cannot watch as others cause chaos within the dynasty as an ally of the dynasty.”

  “We will not forget this kindness.” The amputated guard then looked at the remaining fugitive and said coldly, “I have one request. I hope to participate in the interrogation later. I need to see who set their sights on His Excellency Ludwell.”

  “We can talk about this later. My comrades are still fighting over there, and I shall go over to help them first.”

  Although Hadavy had a straightforward personality, he knew that he could not easily agree to something like this. He thus waved his arms and led the other Black Star Guards to the main battlefield.

  As the two bodyguards saw that, they could only follow behind with Ludwell’s grandson, lest they ended up being ambushed again. At the same time, they also reported what had happened to Ludwell.

  …

&nbs
p; “The economic situation of the dynasty isn’t ideal, and we suffered from a huge impact in terms of trade…”

  In the gigantic conference room, all the high officials in charge of finances were gathered and Ludwell was also part of the group.

  Many of the economic officials belonged to the neutral faction, and Ludwell was one of the leaders of the neutral faction. As such, he possessed great authority when it came to finances.

  Halfway through the meeting, Ludwell’s communicator began vibrating. After looking at the contents of the message, he placed his communicator aside and continued with the meeting.

  After the meeting ended, Ludwell returned to his office.

  As the door closed, he slammed his palm on the desk.

  Bang!

  The entire alloy desk was dented. Although Ludwell was a refined individual, it did not mean that he did not have any combat strength. The majority of the officials in the dynasty were not weak scholars.

  “Investigate this matter for me! Just who set their eyes on my grandson?”

  Ludwell’s face was ashen, and he roared out orders for half a day before his anger subsided slightly.

  He was extremely shocked when he saw the news but endured his anger as he was in a meeting. He only unleashed his anger at this moment and was determined to make use of the authority in his hands to check the matter clearly.

  Thankfully, his grandson was saved in the end, and Ludwell heaved a sigh of relief with lingering fear in his heart.

  Thankfully, they met the Black Star Army. If not…

  Upon thinking about this possibility, he could not help but shudder with fear.

  After pacing around in the room for a while, Ludwell gradually calmed down and sat down in his chair while muttering to himself.

  “Black Star, I owe you a favor this time…”

  He originally did not like Black Star. However, they were allies, and he did not treat Black Star like an enemy; there was only a conflict in terms of benefits for the dynasty.

  Work affairs would remain as work affairs, but his personal impression of Black Star was much better than before.

  Although he would not bring his personal emotions into work, he would remember this favor.

  …

  After Hadavy brought more reinforcements to join the battle, the chaos was immediately suppressed. Those who wanted to escape were not able to do so, and the others were either killed or wounded.

  The soldiers then cleaned up the battlefield and placed restrictive equipment on all the survivors.

  These fugitives then squatted by the side with their heads lowered, and the scene looked like an anti-vice operation.

  “Lock them all up and interrogate them properly,” Jabra roared at his subordinates before walking forward to the members of the Punisher Alliance. He then said calmly, “You guys are not bad. I will get people to give you a reward later. Thank you for your assistance.”

  Although he was giving his thanks, his tone was calm and perfunctory. The status of the Punisher Alliance was truly too low, and they were not able to provide much help to him. They could only deal with some small fries in his eyes. However, the other party did help him after all, and he had to show some face to these superheroes.

  Raymond and the others nodded. They were not expecting an officer of a Beyond Grade A Super to be super grateful to them, and displaying such an attitude was already decent. Furthermore, they still had money to take, and the money could be used to replenish the funds of their alliance. A Calamity Grade powerhouse like Jabra definitely would not be stingy for sure.

  However, Jabra did not leave immediately but looked at Aurora instead. “Are you interested in joining me?”

  Raymond frowned and said with a deep voice, not bothering about the other party’s status, “What’s the meaning of this?”

  “Your healing abilities aren’t too bad. Join our Beyond Grade A organization. You will have a brighter future,” Jabra said calmly.

  During the battle previously, Aurora’s healing abilities had attracted his attention, and thus, he wanted to poach her.

  Upon hearing that, all the members of the Punisher Alliance looked at Aurora with anxiousness in their eyes. They did not want such a good comrade to be poached away, but they could not reply on her behalf.

  Aurora shook her head and said, “No thanks. I am more interested in being a hero.”

  Jabra frowned and wanted to persuade her. Right at this moment, footsteps sounded from behind him, and Hadavy arrived with the Black Star Guards.

  Jabra immediately abandoned the members of the Punisher Alliance and said with a bright smile toward Hadavy’s group, “Hahaha, brothers from the Black Star Army. Thank you for your assistance! You have helped me greatly!”

  Jabra’s attitude took a 180-degree turn when it came to the Black Star Guards. He would put on airs before the Punisher Alliance but was extremely passionate in front of the Black Star Guards.

  Although he was a subordinate of a Beyond Grade A Super, Jabra’s boss was only an ordinary pillar of the dynasty. However, it was very likely that Black Star, who had a great amount of potential, would take over the position of Dark Lord in the future and become the dynasty’s strongest ally.

  “We’re all allies of the dynasty, so it’s only right for us to help each other.” Hadavy then added on, “His Excellency Black Star wishes to interrogate these fugitives together. Would it be convenient for you?”

  “Of course it’s convenient.” Jabra chuckled.

  “Hmm.” Hadavy nodded before looking at Aurora. He then said, “You are extremely capable. Are you interested in joining the Black Star Army? You will be a part of the Black Star Guards at the very least.”

  Everyone’s face became strange as these words were said, especially the members of the Punisher Alliance.

  You just wanted to poach one of ours, and now she is being poached by a bigger fish.

  Upon hearing that, Jabra’s face froze in place, and he coughed to hide his awkwardness.

  “This… it isn’t too suitable, right? I don’t have any intention of leaving my current organization.”

  “Alright, remember to inform us if you change your mind.”

  Hadavy chuckled and glanced at Aurora with a look of delight.

  Aurora’s mouth contorted slightly.

  You are truly such a vengeful person.

  Right at this moment, a mechanical soldier arrived with the Evolutionary Totem. Jabra immediately ran over to take a look and was overjoyed.

  Great, even his last problem was solved! He would not need to have a headache over the matter anymore.

  Black Star was truly a good man!

  With this slight interlude, Jabra no longer felt like poaching others and got his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.

  Hadavy then glanced at the members of the Punisher Alliance and left with a strange smile.

  Only then did the members of the Punisher Alliance relax. They were truly nervous when being surrounded by a group of Calamity Grade Supers.

  After calming themselves down, they looked at Aurora and Feidin with greater passion.

  These new comrades of theirs had actually rejected a Beyond Grade A organization to stay in their organization!

  They then thought about the scene of Feidin and Aurora fighting beside them. At this moment, everyone, including Slade, had truly recognized these two as their new comrades.

  Upon seeing that, Feidin smiled.

  …

  At the same time, there were two individuals moving around stealthily. It was the disguiser and his comrade.

  They knew that their plan had failed the moment the Black Star Army intervened. It would be a lie to say that they were not furious about failing despite investing so much resources.

  However, being angry was useless. Were they going to fight a Beyond Grade A? They could only swallow their anger and secretly leave their observation spot.

  “Sigh, our plan failed.” One of them shook his head with resig
nation.

  “This was an accident. Who could’ve known that the Black Star Army would hide their identities and remain on this planet? The captain won’t blame us.”

  “However, we wasted plenty of resources, and our spies located on this planet will definitely be cleaned out. According to the rules, we will be punished and demoted.”

  “If we can seize this opportunity to leave this plan and be transferred to a safer position, it may be a blessing in disguise. All those organizations were hired from the black market, and we didn’t intervene directly. It will be difficult to trace the matter to us.”

  “Is that so?”

  “Yes… hmm?”

  Both of them then froze in place with a look of shock on their faces. That voice did not belong to either of them.

  Looking up, they saw a phantom-like figure floating above their heads. Who knew how long this figure had been following behind them without them noticing a thing?

  Upon seeing this figure, they froze on the spot without moving. Their minds blanked out, and they had the same thought in their head.

  Just how did Black Star find us?

  The various gray organizations did not know that they were the masterminds, and they were also in disguise when they helped the Calamity Grade fugitives lock onto their targets!

  Han Xiao then floated down gently and could not help but ask, “What’s so surprising about me finding both of you? Do you two really think that it is possible to escape from me?”

  After interrogating the thieves, he realized that they had received the mission from the black market, and their employer’s mission was for them to steal the Evolutionary Totem.

  Han Xiao then joined the dots to Feidin’s report of the assault on Ludwell’s grandson and could more or less guess what their entire plan was.

  These organizations that came to create trouble were all hired from the black market and were no more than pawns. They did not know the entire plan and were only in charge of their own segment of the mission. The true objective of the mastermind should be to get rid of Ludwell’s grandson.
