Chapter 549: Tu Ying's Background

The group joked around for a while. They belonged to the same adventure team and had formidable Strength.

Although there were no A-Tier Lifeforms, they were basically all B-Tier Lifeforms.

Even if they weren't, they had specializations in certain aspects, such as network communication and intelligence gathering.

They accepted commissions in interstellar space, basically commission tasks from small-scale civilizations.

The most frequent were wiping out Marauders who popped out from who knows where within a civilization.

The group's relationship was very good, otherwise it would be impossible to stay in the same team for so long.

Although Paka had just joined them not long ago, due to his powerful Strength and honest character, he was quite liked by everyone.

Sanna only had some resentment towards Paka because of some special reasons.

"Warning, Black Crystal Mercenary Group, according to the [Public Security Management Regulations], please follow the guidance and proceed to the temporary docking area to accept manual screening."

They couldn't go through the passenger channel. Because of their Identity and origins, they had to accept screening.

Following the guidance track, they arrived at the temporary docking area, where someone was already waiting.

Babaro flipped through the data. These types of Mercenary Corps were all registered in interstellar space and could easily be investigated.

"Leader... Kargas... Interstellar Human, B-Tier Genetic Evolution Body..."

"Sanna... Porter Race, B-Tier Lifeform..."

"Isheus... C-Tier Mechanical Cyborg..."

These details were nothing special. This kind of screening was very common. Registering the other party's Spaceship Weapons and advanced lifeforms on record basically allowed passage.

However, Babaro's eyebrows suddenly furrowed slightly, staring at the data on the Holographic Screen:

"Hmm? Paka... Troll, B-Tier Lifeform..."

"A Troll?"

A hint of disgust revealed in Babaro's eyes. The former might of the Troll Legion was deeply ingrained in the hearts of Returning Star Citizens.

Horus, who resurrected from the dead some time ago, once had a period where he was hunted by the Star Glory Empire's Troll Legion in No Man's Land.

Therefore, Returning Star Citizens possessed an innate disgust towards the Troll race.

Babaro had a Friend who died in No Man's Land.

Buzz!

Accompanied by mechanical buzzing sounds, several Spaceships docked temporarily. The Blast Doors opened, and Kargas walked out with a smile, coming straight up to Babaro.

"This Lord, an honor to meet..." He extended his hand. In his palm was a Transparent Crystal storing ten thousand unregistered Star Coins.

These were all Unspoken Rules. Not doing so generally wouldn't cause any problems, but it was best to do so.

However, Babaro merely glanced at the other party, making no movements, looking completely businesslike. This caused Kargas's expression to sink.

Numerous soldiers boarded the Spaceships with inspection equipment, while he came in front of the several team members and began registering their information.

Not long after, an inspection soldier returned and announced loudly: "Reporting, discovered contraband -- Item No. 333."

Kargas's expression changed instantly, subconsciously shouting: "Impossible, you are framing us!?"

Before coming, they had studied in detail the prohibited weapons. A portion of weapons of mass destruction had already been placed at their temporary outpost; it was impossible to have any contraband.

"Hmm?" Babaro's expression changed slightly, immediately saying: "Men, lock down the Spaceship, temporarily detain these people. If they resist, kill without mercy!"

Sanna's eyes darkened, drawing two mechanical short swords from behind her Alluring waist. Numerous Squad Members also took defensive measures, vigilantly looking at the surrounding soldiers.

Though they said temporary detention, once locked up, their lives and properties would all be in the other party's control.

It was very easy to lose their lives due to some "accidental situations."

They had no Backstage, no one would redress their grievances.

"You want to resist!?" Babaro sneered. His Strength wasn't great, but with Returning Star backing him, he wasn't afraid of these Mercenaries at all.

"I said there would definitely be trouble. Quickly log into the Black Net, find online trolls to spread the Recording, saying it's racial discrimination remarks by Returning Star Defending Forces!" Sanna said in a low voice.

"F*, we can't log into the Black Net within Returning Star territory. I need to mount an external login node, damn, the network here is blocked..." In Isheus's mechanical pupils, a large amount of data flickered.

"Either surrender without putting up a fight, or... be shot dead on the spot!" Babaro stared at them.

Carlos's thoughts flashed. He knew the other party's attitude was highly likely because of Paka.

He didn't expect Returning Star's rejection of Trolls to have reached this degree.

Paka's expression flickered, also sensing something was wrong. Previously within Returning Star, the people who contacted him, although vaguely showing a trend of rejecting him,

Because of Li Yu's influence, no one dared to truly show it.

Now that he returned with a hidden Identity, he was targeted before even entering.

His massive figure squeezed past his teammates, walking straight forward.

"Paka, what are you doing!" Carlos berated.

Sanna's expression was agitated, the scars on her face engorged with blood: "That's right, exactly like this, Carve a bloody path, this bunch of rotting bureaucrats should have died long ago!"

Carlos tightened his lips, feeling complex emotions. If they gave up resisting, the other party might only target Paka alone, and they might only be fined.

But if they resisted on the spot, they would be directly wanted by Returning Star. Those guys at the top wouldn't care what reason you had for attacking the Defending Forces.

However, if they escalated the matter, there might still be hope of leaving.

Just as his thoughts were churning, about to make up his mind, Paka walked up to Babaro.

The massive body gave the other party unparalleled pressure.

However, because he hadn't launched an attack, the remaining Defending Forces also couldn't take the initiative to attack.

"You... what do you want to do!?" Babaro was fierce in appearance but cowardly at heart.

"Give me your Smart Terminal, I want to contact someone." Paka said in a deep voice.

"Contact someone, you..." Babaro subconsciously retorted, but was interrupted by Paka.

"Give it to me, otherwise you will regret it for a lifetime."

Paka's expression gave Babaro a bad premonition.

Did this Troll really have someone behind him?

"Let me tell you, discovering contraband, there are absolutely no problems with my procedures. No matter who you contact, it's impossible to protect..." Before he finished his sentence, Paka directly reached out, forcefully grabbing him.

Forcefully stripping the Smart Terminal off his wrist.

"Put down the Captain!"

"..."

The remaining Defending Forces shouted harshly. Sanna rushed out at the first moment, standing in front of Paka like a Cheetah, her eyes sharp, selecting her targets.

"Nobody move..." Paka's voice was thick: "Whoever dares to act rashly, I will directly crush him to death!"

"Ha, damn Troll, you are simply seeking death, attacking me here, no one can save you..." Babaro's fear was mixed with wild joy.

The network here had already been blocked. Only the special lines of these Defending Forces could connect externally.

Alarms rang out, patrolling Flying Vehicles from all directions rushed towards here.

"Black Crystal Mercenary Group, you are already surrounded, please put down your Weapons!"

Many travel Spaceships also noticed the situation here and were instantly shocked. They didn't expect someone actually dared to attack the Defending Forces here.

Then they cautiously approached, attempting to watch the fun.

Carlos's expression was sluggish. F*, now they had to resist even if they didn't want to!

At the same time, Paka had already dialed a communication connection based on his Smart Terminal. Not long after, the connection went through.

"Uncle Zeth, it's me..."

"I'm back..."

"Mm, there's a bit of trouble..." Paka glanced at the temporary screening point marker and said: "...I'm currently at Temporary Inspection Point 732."

"Okay."

The conversation ended quickly. Paka tossed away the Smart Terminal, his face revealing no expression, carrying Babaro in his hand.

Babaro's lips trembled. Attacking the Defending Forces, this kind of matter was far more troublesome than finding contraband. Even if the other party had someone behind them, they might not be able to suppress it!

Moreover... Zeth?

Never heard of any High Echelon named Zeth.

However, not long after, a situation that made him dumbfounded occurred. The alarms were suddenly deactivated, and the Flying Vehicles surrounding the area quickly left.

The Defending Forces surrounding Paka seemed to have suddenly received some notification. Looking at Each Other in Dismay, they slowly lowered the Weapons in their hands.

Babaro was somewhat bewildered. What was going on? What happened?

Not long after, a large Spaceship descended. The insignia on its metal outer shell displayed its esteemed Identity -- Imperial Family Exclusive.

The Blast Door opened, and a guy wearing a black coat walked out, fixing his gaze on Paka, revealing a smile:

"Haha, you kid finally came back. The days you were away, Keller tormented me terribly."

"Uncle Zeth..." Tu Ying grinned, appearing especially affectionate.

Although Li Yu was quite approachable normally, Tu Ying was still somewhat restrained in front of him, unable to let loose.

In contrast, he was very relaxed in front of Zeth, able to chat about some special topics.

Max followed behind, looking at Tu Ying somewhat curiously.

He had seen Tu Ying a few times, but hadn't interacted much.

"Max... General Aisel's son, why would it be him..."

Babaro was dumbfounded.

Sanna was somewhat confused, still not knowing what was going on.

A trace of shock flashed across Carlos's eyes. Paka's background was actually this formidable!?

The travel Spaceships watching the fun instantly exclaimed how boring. Big shots came, now there was no more fun to watch.

"Why did you learn bad things from Li Yu, playing the trick of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger." Hunter glanced at the scene, roughly having a clue in his heart, and teased.

"No, I just didn't want the trouble, but some unexpected situations occurred." Tu Ying shook his head and explained.

"Alright, Max, I'll leave the rest to you, I'm taking him away." Hunter said casually. He didn't have a position in Returning Star, which was why he pulled Max along.

"Okay..." Max nodded. He was very clear on what kind of treatment Trolls would encounter in Returning Star, so he had roughly guessed this incident.

"And my Friends..." Tu Ying looked at Carlos and the others.

"Don't worry, Max will arrange things for them." Hunter said casually.

"Mm..." Tu Ying nodded, greeted his dumbstruck teammates, and followed Hunter towards the Spaceship.

"By the way, where is Uncle Yu?"

"He seems to be hacking the Black Hole Network, don't know what crazy fit he's having..."

"Oh..."

"How is your Strength? Forgot to tell you, your uncle I am now..."

Clap clap!

Max clapped his hands, attracting the crowd's Attention. He smiled broadly and said: "Everyone, sorry, there must have been some misunderstanding just now."

"As compensation, I can satisfy a small request from everyone."

Babaro got up from the Ground, his face deathly pale. Clearly... these few big shots didn't care at all what happened here, nor did they care what the truth was.

And he, had offended a figure he couldn't afford to offend.

Sanna reacted first. Damn, so this Little Demon Giant's background was so awesome, then this older sister won't be polite!

She said excitedly: "Can you provide a non-destructive genetic adjustment, I want to eliminate the scars on my face."

Then she emphasized: "This isn't an injury, but a kind of Genetic Disease."

She had been saving money, but genetic adjustment cost a substantial amount. Combined with various expenses, the money she saved was far from enough.

"Small problem." Max said.

The remaining teammates also reacted, their expressions excited.

Very obviously, they had inadvertently come into contact with a big shot, which would bring them a generous unexpected harvest.

After handling these matters and the few Squad Members left, Max then looked at Babaro.

"M... My Lord, I... it's because..." He trembled, unable to speak.

"It's fine, I understand... Trolls are indeed unwelcomed here with us..." Max shrugged and said.

"However, who told you to be unlucky. Moreover, your subordinate already said, this frame-up was instigated by you."

"If it wasn't a frame-up, this matter would have just passed, and they wouldn't have pursued it..."

"What a pity..."

Babaro slumped to the Ground, lifted up by several Defending Forces, and detained, awaiting trial.

………

At the same time, in Guixing's Hidden Star System, hot air steamed from the metal crevices of the massive planet beneath Li Yu's feet. There was no Atmosphere here, so this hot air quickly dissipated into space.

There were also many Energy Conduits extending out from around the planet, and some chip nodes emitting Luminescence were operating.

This was a massive planet-level server array, a server node serving Returning Star's internal network, which Li Yu was briefly borrowing.

At this moment, the high-speed operating heat dissipation Condensation Device on the planet was slowly stopping.

Claptrap's Holographic Image popped up, "Master, the other party has initiated an emergency lockdown. I was forced out, but I left behind quite a few sub-programs disguised as internal firewalls, should be able to evade detection and deletion."

"To prepare for the next attack."

"Mm, how did the data search go." Li Yu nodded, then inquired.

"As you expected, the Troll Tribe indeed originated from the Life Titan. But the Five-Blood Troll has never appeared before. The Black Net's redundant Database also has no records on what specific changes it would bring."
