"Who the hell is the captain of this starship? Get your ass out here!" Old Chen screamed hysterically, pointing into the starship workshop.
Another young man, hands in his pockets, looking all high and mighty, followed beside him and sneered, "Offending my Brother Chen, I think you guys are tired of living. Now get out here and apologize to Brother Chen!"
This shout drew everyone's attention.
Lilith and the female manager, who were still negotiating, stopped their conversation and looked over. The female manager's face changed; she recognized these two individuals.
The one called Brother Chen was an Alliance fleet commander of an Interstellar Transport Ship fleet attached to the Lord Fleet in the Arctic Fox Star System, and it seemed he was related to the lord. In the Arctic Fox Star System's interstellar trade and transport sector, he was infamous, often interfering with others' business. But because of his background, those he bullied dared not speak out.
The other young man was one of the Black Fox Society's high-ranking members. The Black Fox Society was an equally notorious dark force within the Arctic Fox Star System; after all, darkness exists everywhere, and the Black Fox Society was the dark side of the Arctic Fox Star System. The two had a good relationship, often using Interstellar Transport Ships to transport gray goods and engage in illegal trade for high profits.
"I am the captain. What can I do for you?" Zachary Chase leisurely walked out, blocking the doorway.
"What do you mean, what can I do? You used your starship cannons to fire on my starship—have you forgotten?! Don't think that just because we didn't have a video call, I wouldn't recognize you. I'd recognize that wretched starship of yours even if it turned to ash!" Old Chen said, preparing to grab Zachary's clothes.
But Zachary was impolite; he raised his foot and kicked. A kick to the chest sent the man flying several meters.
"Holy crap, you even dared to hit someone. I'm from the Black Fox Society. Do you know what the price is for offending the Black Fox Society… Mama mama… Ah!"
Before the young man could finish speaking, he was kicked in the face, flying sideways and crashing heavily into a cargo box!
Clang!
A clear red shoe print was visible on his face.
Zachary frowned at this moment. Others instinctively thought the man was angry.
"Kicked in the wrong direction," Zachary thought to himself, "he hit my precious treasure." Although theoretically, such a collision wouldn't affect the raw materials inside the cargo box, Zachary was still uncomfortable.
"Cough, cough, cough… You… You actually dared to strike… You condoned your starship shelling my starship… Do you believe I'll report you to the Imperial Army military court?!" Old Chen clutched his churning stomach, feeling as if his internal organs were about to spill out from that kick.
"You are the Alliance fleet commander of the Interstellar Transport Ship that was ordered to rescue and evacuate the people on P331 Asteroid." Zachary looked at the man, only then recalling a previous interlude.
Old Chen pointed at Zachary, "You're in trouble this time—big trouble!"
"Cough, cough… That's right, I'm telling you! You dared to touch someone from our Black Fox Society. I've already called my brothers. Just wait to collect your own corpse!" The young man from the Black Fox Society who was kicked yelled.
"You deliberately delayed, slowed down your fleet, and disregarded the lives of five million people on P331 Asteroid. You're the ones in trouble, aren't you?" Lilith stepped forward at this moment, standing beside Zachary, speaking up for the captain.
"It's that voice! It was you, you stinking bitch, who threatened me back then, wasn't it?!" Old Chen recognized Lilith's voice; it was the female voice that had threatened them during the voice communication.
"Succubus!" Suddenly, the young man from the Black Fox Society lunged forward several steps, as if to charge at Lilith. But Zachary moved, blocking in front of Lilith, his gaze coldly fixed on the other party. This stopped the young man from the Black Fox Society in his tracks.
The young man from the Black Fox Society cautiously looked at Zachary, then raised his hand and displayed an image. The image showed a person in a black cloak, with only half of their face barely visible. If one carefully compared it to Lilith, they would realize it was none other than the woman in front of them!
"Kid, you attacked our Black Fox Society members and stole these suc… these things, didn't you?!" The young man from the Black Fox Society originally intended to say 'Succubus'. But he quickly realized that information about the Succubus couldn't be spread; it would attract too much attention!
"Yes, so what?" Zachary said indifferently.
"Good, good, good. It truly is a case of finding something without even looking for it. Our entire Black Fox Society has been looking for you! And you actually delivered yourself to our doorstep." The young man from the Black Fox Society quickly retreated several steps, edited a message on his handheld terminal, and sent it again. Then he pointed at Zachary, "Just you wait, you're finished. Here, no one dares to oppose the Black Fox Society!"
"Hahaha, so she's the one you've been looking for." Old Chen also laughed excitedly at this moment; he had heard about the Succubus from the young man. Seeing how things were developing, his heart was filled with wild joy. This kid had offended the Black Fox Society, so he was completely finished.
Zachary frowned; he wasn't afraid of the Black Fox Society, but he disliked trouble. If things escalated, he would have to leave Arctic Fox Starport, which would definitely delay the construction time of the T2 Black Rhino-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigate. This matter was very important! Important! Important!
In fact, if this guy hadn't actively sought him out, Zachary wouldn't have bothered with such trivial matters.
"Don't you worry about your actions landing you in a military court?!" Lilith pointed at Old Chen in exasperation, also somewhat worried if their identity as Succubi would cause trouble for Captain Zachary. During this time, the Succubi had been living happily in the Little Dragon Fleet; they had grown to like the life here, to the point where some Succubi would have nightmares, dreaming that all of this was fake. They were still barely surviving outside, living day to day.
"You're spouting nonsense. What evidence do you have?! My starship had a malfunction, which is why I slowed down. You guys—you just shelled my fleet without asking any questions." Old Chen looked at Lilith and Zachary with a sinister smile, "This is the Arctic Fox Star System. You have no evidence. Who will believe your nonsense?"
"I believe you."
Just then, a voice came from behind Old Chen.
"Who the hell is meddling… meddling… meddling…" Old Chen instinctively turned to curse, but the next moment he was stunned, his words stammering.
A woman in an Imperial Army officer's uniform was slowly approaching. The impact of her military boots on the ground made a somewhat pleasant sound. Behind her, there was also a thirty-person soldier guard armed with laser guns.
Most importantly, this woman's military uniform had an emblem next to the Imperial Army insignia on her chest, which was very striking. It was a single character!
The golden character 'Shaw'!
