The man in a white suit who called himself Akai left with his men.
Just like the service staff hired at a high price, they just leave after finishing their work.
And the fact is that they came here under the name of service staff to avoid official inspection.
At this time, Yuri sat in the conference room with an ugly expression.
Smoke from tobacco filled the room, one after another, but it couldn't relieve the depression in my heart.
He picked up the glass of wine with ice cubes that had not yet melted, drank the spirit in one gulp, and said in a resentful tone: "Damn, these people are all lunatics!"
As a middleman walking in the gray area, what is the most important thing?
Nature means safety.
Among so many powerful empires, Lanxi is one of the safest places.
Even he spent at least tens of millions of credits to obtain the qualifications of a temporary resident citizen.
And what are the benefits of living in Lanxi?
The most obvious advantage is that no one will cause trouble for him.
No matter which country's inspectorate it is, it has no right to investigate its own actions without conclusive evidence.
Even if there is evidence, it must be handled by Lanxi, and other empires have no right to enforce the law.
This is the confidence of a powerful empire.
Sometimes Yuri wants to immigrate his family to Lanxi, but he just thinks of his special status. Even if Lanxi agrees, his birthplace will not agree.
Not to mention that his family is still in China, so it is impossible to make money.
"Actually, we should have thought of it earlier. In the eyes of the rulers, we are just pawns that can be abandoned at any time..."
Yuri looked up at the ceiling. It was an art masterpiece worth millions.
I took the chance and got to where I am today.
Even in the interstellar era, in the eyes of ordinary citizens, it is considered a very top-notch existence.
But in the eyes of rulers.
No matter how many years you have worked hard, how many risks you have taken, or how difficult intelligence missions you have completed, you are just a soldier controlled at will.
From a darker perspective, it might not be as important as a battleship.
Yuri still vividly remembers what happened when he met the ruler.
He is not an ordinary person and has experienced strong winds and waves.
But when facing the ruler, he still looked like a human being, but he exuded a frightening aura, and his eyes looked like he was seeing ants, which sent shivers down his spine.
But after the business was over, the ruler was as kind as an ordinary person.
Yuri knew very well that the other person was probably just getting along with ordinary people like a pet.
That day was also the moment when he truly believed that the ruler was as high as a god.
However, Yuri relaxed his mentality soon after, because no matter how inhuman the ruler was, he was still far away from him.
It is very difficult for ordinary citizens to cross the colonies.
At least I can go to any planet or force according to my own ideas.
So what if he is an ant in the eyes of the ruler, at least he can be regarded as a human-level existence.
"Humph, let them dog bite dog. The survival of human beings has never depended on strength, but on fleeting opportunities..."
Yuri stubbed out the tobacco with his hands and had a bolder idea in his mind.
But before that, he had to ensure the safety of his family.
Regarding this point, this incident gave him an opportunity.
Since it is an order to be carried out by the suzerain, it should not be difficult to fulfill the request of a little guy like myself.
After reading, he turned on the communicator and contacted a certain customer...
Even if it is a 99% stable structure, as long as there is a problem with that 1%, it may shake the entire framework.
Interestingly, most of the sensational events in the world are caused by a few people.
December 21st.
In a non-Japanese galaxy not far from Lanxi's power galaxy, Rocks ended a communication.
He is a rough guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is also the leader of a well-known pirate group in the nearby star field.
On the bounty lists displayed by various forces, Rocks' bounty amount is as high as 160 million credits.
Although for ordinary rulers, it is only the value of 1 unit of energy coins, for citizens, it is already a sky-high price.
As for why no ruler sent military units to deal with him personally, they probably thought it was not worth it.
The cost of dispatching any fleet in the empire would at least exceed the reward, so there was no need to deal with a pirate group specifically.
And for the sake of checks and balances, leaving an existence that does not belong to any force might still be able to play some role.
At this time, Rocks held his head in his hands and placed his feet on the center console.
He is a rough man with long messy hair, a beard that hasn't been shaved for an unknown period of time, and the overall style of his clothes is relatively free.
"You only need to intercept a caravan to get 500 million credits?"
"It's a big order."
Inside the ship, Rocks lay on the seat and held his head, his body shaking while thinking about the cooperation mentioned by Yuri.
The 500 million credit mission wasn't the biggest errand he'd ever done.
A previous job of plundering an official merchant ship of an empire earned him 600 million, and his reward amount suddenly exceeded 100 million.
Of course, the difficulty of accomplishing that errand is extremely difficult.
If the empire's sworn enemy had not provided weapons and ships, it would have been impossible to complete the mission with just the manpower of the pirate group.
So Rocks wasn't too surprised when he received Yuri's communication.
It can even be said that there is some eagerness to try.
Now it seems that Yuri, as a middleman, has also received a big order.
The weapons provided this time include Daxia's new series of military weapons, which is really a surprise.
Most pirate fleets still use railguns.
If it weren't for the fact that power empires couldn't easily scan non-ruler empire ships through sensors, I'm afraid there wouldn't be independent forces like pirates in the stars.
What does the pirate group do to make a living?
What they rely on is guerrilla warfare, and what they play is fast attack style.
After all, most commercial ships basically travel on the most advantageous routes planned by star bases, which gives pirates an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Therefore, the more powerful the weapons and armaments, the faster they can escape.
As for how Yuri obtained the Daxia series of military weapons, Rocks didn't care.
In his view, all empires are enemies, and maybe this task was ordered by Daxia.
"This is a good mission, worth doing!"
"But before that, there is a problem that needs to be solved."
After Rocks waited in the ship's central control room for a long time, a voice rang.
It was a communication from his little brother.
"Boss Luo, we successfully led that boy to the predetermined location!"
Rocks ended his dangling state, stood up and hummed softly: "Well, you guys have to fight with him first, and I will bring my troops over right away."
"Okay, boss, but please move quickly. That guy's strength is not simple. I'm afraid my brothers won't be able to hold on."
"knew."
Rocks turned off the comms and delivered an order.
A moment later, nearly sixty pirate ships appeared behind a certain satellite in this system.
They quickly activated their hyperspace engines towards a certain coordinate, and then disappeared among the stars.
Ten minutes later.
Under the leadership of Rocks, the pirate fleet arrived at the preset coordinates.
Here, the battle has already begun.
Twelve pirate ships are attacking five small ships.
The strange thing is that () are obviously ships that are only about the size of frigates, but five ships are not at a disadvantage when facing twelve ships.
Then Rocks gave an order, and all the pirate ships joined the battle.
"Damn it, it was you who caused me to lose 200 million!"
