The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

$2270, Two Halves of a Gold Coin (Part 2)

After that, although they encountered danger many times, Qi'ra and Han Solo had no intention of putting the gold coins together. However, as their knowledge gradually increased, they gradually realized that the mysterious man they met that night was definitely not an ordinary person.

Using a blood-red lightsaber and possessing mysterious power, this person is either a Jedi Knight who has fallen to the dark side or a Sith Lord.

Therefore, even if only one person can be saved, the two halves of the gold coin have become a strong backing in the hearts of Qi'ra and Han Solo.

They dare to take risks and fight because they always believe that there is a powerful person behind them. Qi'ra and Han Solo have always wanted to save enough money to buy a spaceship of their own, and then leave the hell of Corellia and go to every corner of the galaxy for adventure.

Later, Qi'ra and Han Solo also found that as long as they stayed on Corellia, they would never be able to get rid of the open exploitation of Corellia Engineering Company, or the plundering of gangs such as Bloody Dawn and White Worm in secret.

Corellia is such a desperate planet. This planet is developed enough that every corner of society has been infiltrated and controlled. The fairy tale of soaring to the sky and overthrowing the strong will never happen. Especially for social garbage like them, there is no possibility of turning over.

The only way for them to realize their dreams is to leave here. Even if they can't afford a spaceship, they have to leave here first, and then they will have the opportunity to earn money to buy a spaceship.

At that time, Qi'ra worked for Lady Bixi's White Worm Gang and was considered a small leader. By chance, Han Solo stole a can of core element, which was a new fuel developed by the Galactic Empire that could be used to start the hyperspace engine. It was lighter and more efficient.

So Qi'ra and Han Solo decided to sell this can of core element.

They welded the two halves of the gold coin together overnight as their last trump card, and then prepared to escape with the core element.

However, their escape plan was discovered by Madam Prisma's men, and they were hunted down. With nowhere else to go, Qi'ra and Han Solo had to flee to the passenger spaceport, and then used the can of core element as a bribe to try to get the customs officials of the Galactic Empire to let them go.

However, the customs officials only let Han Solo go, but blocked Qi'ra outside. In a hurry, Han Solo threw the gold coin to Qi'ra, and Qi'ra was captured by Madam Prisma's men.

For such a defector, Qi'ra must be waiting for the most severe punishment.

Qi'ra was forced to take out the gold coin and said that it was something that Grand Duke Tang Xiao of the Dawn gave her. At that time, Qi'ra was not sure about this, because on the night when she and Han Solo met the mysterious man, only Han Solo took a rough look at the man's appearance.

Later, Han Solo read the news and heard that the mysterious man looked very similar to Tang Xiao, the governor of Dawn at that time, but he was not sure. After all, it was just a one-time encounter, and it was unlikely that Tang Xiao would leave Dawn and come all the way to Corellia in the core circle.

But at this time, Qila had no choice but to take a gamble.

Madam Prisma's White Worm Gang was mainly engaged in slave trading, and one of the most profitable businesses was to train all kinds of beautiful female slaves and give them to the wealthy nobles in the core circle to play with. Now Qila was caught because of betrayal. Even if she was once a small leader under Madam Prisma, it was hard to guarantee that she would not suffer such a fate.

However, this gold coin stumped Madam Prisma, because she could neither prove that the gold coin was real nor that it was fake... Tang Xiao was a celebrity after all, and it was not uncommon for a jerk to claim that his father was Tang Xiao.

Madam Bixi also felt that if she asked Tang Xiao directly, no matter whether it was true or not, Tang Xiao would probably be furious. Because although they were old friends, Madam Bixi and Tang Xiao were now very different in status, and it was an open secret that Tang Xiao became irritable after becoming the Grand Duke of Dawn.

Not daring to touch this bad luck, Madam Bixi took the gold coin to find Dryden Voss. A Force sensor under Dryden Voss told them that there was indeed a very weak breath of the dark side of the Force on the gold coin, but it was not certain who it belonged to.

So the two of them decided to sell Qila to Dryden Voss and let her go for the time being. After all, Qila was still a traitor to the White Worm Gang, and it was impossible for her to stay here.

Qila became a member of the Bloody Dawn in this way. She now believed more firmly that it was this gold coin that was protecting her in the clear, which also gave her endless confidence and courage. Through the reactions of Lady Pixi and Dryden-Vos, she also judged that the owner of this gold coin was most likely Tang Xiao.

In the years of Bloody Dawn, Qila did her best to help Dryden-Vos, and she became shrewd, unscrupulous, and even cruel at times. At the same time, she also used the resources of Bloody Dawn to practice Tyras-Kesh herself - yes, the Iron Hand Kung Fu.

Iron Hand Kung Fu is a widely spread fighting technique that originated from the Jedi Order. When practiced to the extreme, it can compete with a lightsaber. There are many versions of Iron Hands circulating in the galaxy, and the levels are also uneven. The strongest user of Iron Hands in the Milky Way is the second-ranking figure in the Galactic Empire's judging panel - the eldest sister, Aden-Lin.

Although Qi La is not Force sensitive, she is more or less stronger than ordinary people and can be regarded as a Force sensor. She is extremely talented in training the Iron Hand Kung Fu, and even without the Force, she is strong enough to defeat almost any opponent.

This has made Qi'ra's status in Bloody Dawn rise. Over the past few years, it has become one of the top ten. Compared to her origins and the current scale of Bloody Dawn, this is simply an impossible miracle.

Qi La rubbed the gold coins and thought about what happened this time.

The fact that Dryden Voss drove the spaceship away in such a hurry shows that the Zane Consortium's request for alliance on the surface is definitely not as simple as it seems. And putting himself in charge of this matter seems to be Dryden Voss testing himself...

If this gold coin really belongs to Tang Xiao and he is Tang Xiao's person, then Tang Xiao will probably provide more help to help Bloody Dawn tide over the difficulties.

Are you from Tang Xiao? This thought made Qi La's thinking pause.

While I was thinking, the communicator rang, and a subordinate's voice came, [Sister's head is bad! Our batch of arms was reported! The Selonians reported the shipment and brought their men over to surround us! They want to take advantage of others! ! 】

Qi La snorted coldly and said: "Want to take advantage of others? Then give it to them first, and you can retreat for the time being. I'm going to do something, and after it's done, I'll let these Selonians double the amount of food they eat. Spit it out!"

[Okay, big sister! I...let’s withdraw first...]

Qi La took a deep breath, started the hoverbike again, and headed towards the negotiation location agreed with the Zane Consortium at extremely fast speeds.
