Colonial Suit

This disturbance quickly came to an end. Just as the blue-haired youth Jules had said, Captain Old Harry ultimately did not pursue his responsibility. Instead, he chose to suppress the matter. The deceased crew member was given a space burial the next day, with only a few close friends attending his funeral. To avoid causing panic among the crew, Old Harry also issued a gag order. However, Blood瞳 knew that Captain Harry was furious about this incident, venting his anger alone in his room for a long time. When he came out, the entire room was a complete mess, with debris scattered all over the floor.

But what could he do? The difference in status and power left Old Harry helpless against the blue-haired youth. He couldn't even seek revenge.

The transport ship entered warp again. Because there was no positioning device, the transport ship could only adopt a phased warp method, with frequent readjustments of course in between. This greatly affected the speed. So it took a full five days before they saw the first node.

A small space station called the Forgotten Hole.

This was an unmanned small node, providing only the most basic supplies and positioning services. This type of node was the most common in the universe, forming a vast interstellar transportation network. The size of the node was about the same as the Medusa transport ship, but it was considered very small for a space station. It could only be connected by a boarding bridge. Blood瞳 saw many passenger messages on the walls of this node, as well as some venting remarks from crew members.

The transport ship stayed here for half a day for simple resupply and maintenance work. Speaking of which, they were unlucky. At the end of the first warp, the Medusa's bow was hit by an unknown object. Fortunately, the damage was not significant. This type of impact was not common during warp, but as long as it was not particularly serious, it would not affect the ship's navigation.

Although the Forgotten Hole was only a small node, it had complete maintenance facilities. It only took a few hours to complete all the maintenance work. The Medusa, with a patch on its bow, entered warp again...

Before entering warp, Jack said to Blood瞳, "Sir, I always feel that this mission is a bit unlucky. Am I being too sensitive?"

"Then take a vacation when the mission is over," Blood瞳 replied without turning his head. "Also, after this mission, you can officially become my attendant. I will talk to Lord Hensel about it."

"Really?" Jack exclaimed in surprise. "Thank you, sir."

As a service personnel, Jack had been looking forward to this for more than just a day or two. There were many benefits to becoming an attendant. Not only would his status be elevated, but he could also rise to prominence along with his master. He could own his own property and family. How could Jack not be excited? Although being an attendant was only the first threshold for service personnel, it was the most important one, representing a change from the grassroots level to the management level.

Of course, all of this was based on Blood瞳's continuous growth. But the question was, even Lord Hensel valued Blood瞳 so much, did Jack need to worry?

A slight vibration came from the Medusa's hull, and the warp began...

If someone were watching from the outside, they could see that as the warp progressed, all the thrusters at the Medusa's tail were simultaneously set to maximum, spewing out dazzling contrails. The huge hull became faster and faster, and finally turned into a ball of white light rushing forward...

...

X35 Planet, Vica City Lord's Mansion.

This was originally the most prestigious place within a three-hundred-kilometer radius. But now it was a mess. All the furniture was scattered haphazardly on the ground. The gorgeous carpets were stained red with blood. The entire room looked as if it had been swept by a hurricane. On the walls, huge patches of blood were strikingly visible. The air was filled with the smell of blood.

Looking out from the window, the entire Vica City had fallen into extreme chaos. Countless mutants were charging and killing in the streets and alleys, knocking down one civilian after another. Houses were burning everywhere, as if it were the end of the world. In the chaos, screams and cries for help rose and fell. Mixed with the excited howls of the mutants.

But these had nothing to do with the new City Lord Jones. He had already been knocked to the ground, and a powerful steel foot was stepping on his head, preventing him from even moving.

Because he had seen with his own eyes that just now, dozens of guards had tried to attack the owner of this foot, but without exception, they had been torn to pieces. Now their corpses were scattered around, with internal organs and blood splattered everywhere.

The owner of the foot was a huge steel humanoid, covered in bright silver armor with scarlet blood streaks. The fully enclosed horned helmet made it impossible to see his face, but his blood-red eyes were visible. Behind him, a large red cloak spread out, soaked in blood.

"Tell me... who is Blood瞳?" His voice was very hoarse, like metal grinding.

"I... I don't know... I don't know what you're talking about?" Jones cried out in horror. He still couldn't figure out the situation. How could he be doing well as his lord in the morning? Suddenly a group of mutants stormed into his city. Damn... he hadn't even brushed his teeth yet...

"Don't know? Then are you saying that my lord was injured here by himself?"

"My lord? Who is your master?" Fortunately, Jones had a little wit, and immediately grasped the key to the matter.

"My lord's identity... is not something you should know! You just need to tell me about the battle process that happened some time ago!" Sarek seemed to realize that his questioning method had a problem and changed direction.

"The battle some time ago!?" Jones was stunned when he heard it, and then his face changed drastically. "The Blood Queen! You are a subordinate of the Blood Queen!!"

Jones's face turned pale with fright. The Blood Queen, what kind of existence was that? If in the past mutants were just their after-dinner talk, then since the appearance of the Blood Queen, mutants had become the nightmare of all lords. A nightmare that could change the situation on planet x35. Her name was often followed by the embellishment of blood and life. It could be said that the name Blood Queen itself represented destruction.

But luckily, Jones happened to know a little something. He hurriedly shouted.

"I know... I'll tell you!"

"Speak!" Sarek looked at him coldly, his eyes full of cruelty.

Jones was so frightened by his gaze that his soul flew away, and he described the process of that battle at the fastest speed. Finally, he flatteringly said.

"The assault pod that the space mercenary was riding in has not been recovered yet because it is broken. If you need it, I can take you to see it now."

"Space mercenary?" Sarek chewed on this name he had never heard of. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. But it instantly returned to violence. He kicked Jones.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Take me to see it!"

"Yes... yes, yes..." Jones's face twitched in pain. But he still didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. He staggered to his feet with one leg, found something to use as a crutch, and led Sarek towards the depths of the City Lord's Mansion.

Ten minutes later, Sarek saw the oval assault pod. And the clear tiger livery on it.

"This thing... is this what the space mercenary who injured my lord was riding in?" Sarek stretched out a hand and touched the assault pod that did not belong to planet x35. He suddenly asked.

"Yes..." Jones replied with a pale face. His broken leg had not been treated properly at the moment, only simply bandaged. His body was already feeling dizzy due to blood loss. But he still didn't dare to make the slightest move, for fear of arousing the dissatisfaction of the man in front of him. In his eyes, Sarek had become as terrifying as a demon. Every move was enough to make Jones tremble with fear.

Sarek did not care about his thoughts, he saw the assault pod with his own eyes, and he had already believed 80% of Jones's previous description. "I didn't expect that there is such a group of guys. So... our actions here may also attract them?"

"Yes... yes... It is said that many lords have planned to unite... and apply to the mercenary branch." Jones replied cautiously.

"Bang!" Sarek punched the wall, smashing a deep pit. Scaring Jones.

"You did a good job." Sarek's next words made Jones happy. "It seems your life can be saved. Not only that, but you can also get our help in the future."

"Wh... what?" Jones was a little suspicious of his ears.

"Don't be surprised, you have also seen our strength." Sarek spoke a little slowly, as if he was considering. "With our help, you will become the most powerful lord in this area, and no one will dare to question your authority. You should know what that means, right?"

"Yes..." Jones was confused by Sarek's words. He couldn't figure out why the other party would suddenly make a 180-degree turn in attitude. But the lord's instinct was still reminding him that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He had to seize it.

So he asked cautiously. "Then what do you need?"

"We don't need anything." Sarek turned around, his eyes staring fixedly at the assault pod. And the tiger livery on it...

"What we need... is just an agent... an agent who can stand in the open..."

"Ah... yes! Yes!! I will definitely be able to do it!!" Jones suddenly understood, and had a kind of ecstasy from hell to heaven!! Just as he was about to express something, a mutant suddenly ran in from outside the door. He knelt respectfully behind Sarek.

"Lord Sarek... we have found humans who have had contact with Blood瞳!"
