Colonial Suit

The man was bald, with his back to Blood瞳. His face was not visible.

But for some reason, the moment Blood瞳 saw his back, he recalled the scene he had witnessed before losing consciousness. The meteor that fell from the sky and destroyed the mountain peak, the steel figure that dominated the mountaintop, as fierce as a tiger.

He stopped, standing quietly at the door.

He didn't take another step forward.

"Since you're here, come in," a hoarse voice sounded from the room. The bald man rubbed his bald head and waved his hand casually.

He had his back to Blood瞳, with no intention of getting up from the sofa, but Blood瞳 didn't feel ignored in the slightest. Because there was a special power in the other party's words, a power of absolute control, not to be disobeyed. It made people involuntarily obey.

Walking into the room, Blood瞳 discovered that the bald man was facing a very spacious floor-to-ceiling window, with velvet curtains hanging on both sides. The curtains were drawn open at the moment, and through the floor-to-ceiling window, Blood瞳 immediately saw an endless expanse of stars…

He was actually in space! This was a spaceship!

Blood瞳 was immediately stunned. Although he had dreamed of leaving Planet X35 countless times, of leaving this apocalyptic disaster, when he really stood here, he found it so unreal. For a moment, he forgot everything and just stood there blankly.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

The bald man's voice came from his ear, and Blood瞳 nodded involuntarily. This was the first time he had seen the universe, a universe completely unclouded. The deep starry sky, the enchanting halo, and the endless expanse deeply shocked him. Looking at the starry sky in front of him, Blood瞳 even forgot to speak.

"I think it's enchanting too. You know, even though I can see it every day, I can't get enough of it. Every time I finish a mission, I have to sit here quietly by myself and enjoy it for a while," the bald man said to himself, not minding Blood瞳's silence.

"Look, how beautiful it is. Those starlight, like the most gorgeous gems in the universe, and these undisguised planets, each one seems to carry countless years. If I could, I really wish they could become my collection. But unfortunately, I can't. I can only open a floor-to-ceiling window on this ship, so I can pretend that I've collected it."

Saying this, the bald man raised his head and finally turned his gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window to Blood瞳…

"You're called Blood瞳? I heard Zero and Heng mention you."

"Yes," Blood瞳 nodded, finally seeing the bald man's appearance.

This was a man who exuded endless fierce aura just sitting there. He was very strong, his muscles as hard as steel. His bare upper body was covered with huge scars. On his bald head was a scorpion tattoo. It looked very frightening. His appearance was ugly, but he had a pair of sharp eyes. When you were stared at by him, you would feel a palpable sense of oppression. It could even make you forget to breathe.

Just as Blood瞳 was observing the bald man, the bald man was also observing Blood瞳. He saw Blood瞳's expression quickly turn from surprise to calmness, and he couldn't help but nod, revealing a very terrifying smile.

"You're not bad. Sit down."

"…Thank you," Blood瞳 was silent for a while and sat down diagonally opposite the bald man.

The velvet sofa was very soft, like a lover's skin. Blood瞳 had never enjoyed such luxury in his life. For him, who had always struggled between life and death, the luxurious room in front of him was like a dream. Even the living room of Lord克斯特 was far inferior.

"Drink something?" The bald man reached out and pressed a control panel next to him, and immediately a waiter walked in. He stood respectfully to the side.

"I… I'll have a rum bar," Blood瞳 felt that all politeness was hypocrisy in front of the bald man.

"Oh, rum. A very good strong liquor. But it's too sweet. A man should drink something with more kick. I advise you to try whiskey, you'll like it," the bald man said domineeringly, then snapped his fingers at the waiter. The waiter immediately retreated respectfully and quickly brought up two glasses of brown-yellow whiskey.

Blood瞳 had only seen people drink this kind of wine, but it did feel good to drink. The aroma of the whiskey was very fragrant, filling the entire room with a faint fragrance.

The two of them drank silently, admiring the starry sky. Neither spoke first. After this brief contact, Blood瞳 gradually adapted to the bald man's oppressive aura and was no longer so nervous.

After a long while, the bald man put down his glass and exhaled contentedly.

"I guess you've guessed my identity. My name is亨瑟尔, and some people call me Poison Scorpion. I'm a cosmic mercenary."

Blood瞳's fingers trembled as he held the glass, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Sure enough… this man was as he had guessed. Was he the one who caused the meteor that destroyed half the mountain peak that day? At the thought of that earth-shattering scene, Blood瞳 felt a tremor from the bottom of his heart. That was no longer a power that humans could achieve. That was simply a disaster! And such a terrifying disaster was actually caused by the man in front of him?

Powerful was not enough to describe him…

Taking a deep breath, Blood瞳 suppressed the shock in his heart and asked coldly.

"Yes, I guessed it. Then what about丽儿?"

"丽儿? The girl who fought with you?" 亨瑟尔 thought for a moment and patted his bald head. "I didn't expect you to have this kind of relationship. But don't worry, she ran away. I'm not interested in little girls. What's more, it's Zero and Heng's mission. I don't have time to take care of their business. I'm not their nanny. I went down because they were about to die. These two guys are my vassals after all, I can't just watch them die."

"But that little girl is not bad… to be able to beat Zero and Heng so badly. She's also a good mercenary seed. It's a pity she's a mutant," 亨瑟尔 muttered a few words, then waved his hand.

"I hate being long-winded. Let's get straight to the point. I've taken a liking to you… how about becoming my vassal?"

"!"

Blood瞳's eyes widened suddenly. Although he had long guessed 亨瑟尔's intention, he still couldn't believe his ears when he put it so bluntly. This was the most direct way to become a cosmic mercenary! It was the hope of leaving the Seventh World and entering a higher world. How many hunters fought desperately every year, hoping to be recommended by the Hunter Guild and thus be taken a fancy to by a cosmic mercenary? And such hope was actually placed in front of him at this moment. Blood瞳 almost thought he was dreaming.

After a brief shock, there was a long silence. Blood瞳 sat quietly on the sofa, his head lowered. 亨瑟尔 did not urge him, because he could understand Blood瞳's feelings. It was the same as when he first encountered it. The inheritance of cosmic mercenaries was a bit strange. Apart from the large-scale recruitment occasionally conducted by the mercenary headquarters, most cosmic mercenaries came from vassals step by step. Only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire could they become a true cosmic mercenary.

The treatment of cosmic mercenaries was very good, and their status was also very high in most worlds. But this was only on the surface. In fact, this profession was very cruel. Countless newcomers died every year while performing missions. Because they did the most dangerous work in the universe, a never-ending battle! Those who could accept these things and endure them without going crazy… were definitely not ordinary people!

亨瑟尔 had a good impression of Blood瞳, because he felt a kind of taste on Blood瞳's body. A taste of slaughter and blood. Only this kind of person was most suitable to become a cosmic mercenary. To become a strong person who stood out from among millions.

Silence… was bound to be broken eventually. After an unknown amount of time, Blood瞳 finally opened his mouth in a hoarse voice. "I… I still have a slave on Planet X35, and now I don't know how he is."

"That's not a problem. Someone will help you take care of it," 亨瑟尔 smiled slightly. "You may not know, but behind every cosmic mercenary are thousands of people serving him. You don't need to worry about these trivial matters at all. They will professionally help you take care of all your worries."

"In that case…" Blood瞳 raised his head, a firm look in his eyes. "Then I have nothing to consider. Should I call you master now?"

"Ha, that depends on you. I guess you've been influenced by those two guys, Zero and Heng. I prefer people to call me by my name, or call me Lord," 亨瑟尔 waved his hand. "In fact, the status of mercenary vassals is not as low as you think. In a certain sense, they are also cosmic mercenaries. They have their own missions and can act independently. It's just that according to the rules, they must participate in a certain number of battles and follow the sect master for a full three years before they can obtain the qualification for the trainee mercenary assessment. You can find out about these things when you return to the branch with me. If you want to become a vassal, I think you still need to learn something."

"Yes, I understand," Blood瞳 nodded seriously, remembering 亨瑟尔's words.

From now on, he was considered 亨瑟尔's vassal. Although he had lost his precious freedom, he had gained a rare opportunity. This was a bloody road, and Blood瞳 did not intend to make any mistakes.

Having talked to this point, the two had achieved a good start. 亨瑟尔 then called up a servant and asked him to take Blood瞳 to collect equipment and rest. They were on a miniature spaceship. There was still some time before they reached the mercenary branch. During this time, Blood瞳 had to familiarize himself with the change in identity.

After changing into a combat suit exclusive to vassals and receiving his documents, Blood瞳 became a true vassal. Looking at the vast starry sky outside the spaceship window, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Am I… considered to have left the Seventh World now? Then丽儿… where are you?"
