fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Misfortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a black-gold revolver with intricate patterns appeared in his left hand, and he fired a shot at the five men and the dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet flew swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading straight for the so-called Hellhound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bullet bizarrely curved, striking the ground of the alley instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive explosion occurred, the blast flames igniting the drool the Hellhound had left on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two lines of fire appeared in the alley, cutting through the dim passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, after crossing the fire lines, the Hellhound suddenly sneezed due to the foul stench of garbage in the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high temperature had intensified the putrid smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chain reaction began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this sneeze, the Hellhound spewed more intense flames from both mouths, directed at the alley floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alley ground was scorched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature in the alley rose again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground became scalding hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five men's advance became torturous due to the extreme heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them carrying a heavy backpack had his leg movements slightly distorted by the hot ground during his charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tripping over his own feet, he unfortunately fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face made contact with the scorching alley floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a piercing scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense pain from his face made him instinctively roll over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An accident occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was carrying a heavy backpack on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rolling motion pressed the backpack beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, due to the ground's high temperature and the weight of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-explosive bombs in his backpack were detonated through various mishaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"BOOM!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the explosive shockwave, a mass of white flames appeared at the blast site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Misfortune's manipulation, the truly lethal element had emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white flames, carrying extreme heat, swept through the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls of the dim alley were melted by the absolute temperature, turning into crystal-clear red glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the endless high temperature consumed their entire team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Hellhound named War Weapon only managed to howl once before being engulfed by the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woof!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the bodies of the five men and the dog vaporized under the extreme heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Loren saw the white flames, he also frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Carrying something so dangerous with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the alley's layout, the white flames surged toward Loren's location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren quickly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the raven on Loren's shoulder disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of broad black wings appeared behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the black wings appeared, they spread to their fullest extent and gave a powerful flap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce wind emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raging through the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white flames were blown back to the other side of the alley by the gust, continuing to scorch the alley walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren snapped his fingers once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortune!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black wings flapped powerfully again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white flames and their accompanying extreme heat were blown out of the alley by the black wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything within the alley finally returned to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aftermath of the explosion was resolved by the wings behind Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren stood in the middle of the alley, looking at the empty passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the alley still carried residual warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls on both sides had turned into cooled glass, breathtakingly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glistening and shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.......It's over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, behind Loren, the figure leaning against the trash bin had long been drenched in cold sweat on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing everything firsthand, he muttered to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is... rule-based... psychic ability?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren calmly turned around, looking at this investigator carrying secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wings behind him disappeared, and the raven reappeared on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, there should be no one to disturb me from hearing your secrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Investigator... from the Federation Energy Department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren's expectant tone reached the other's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure leaning against the trash bin took a deep breath before speaking with a grave expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone is stealing the Federation's resource deposits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Spirit Stone deposits on this planet were never fully depleted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All these years, someone has been secretly mining them here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The extracted Spirit Stones flow silently into interstellar space through various covert channels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After I accidentally uncovered this clue and was discovered by their people, I've been caught in endless pursuit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The severely wounded investigator concisely explained what had happened to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren looked at this evasive investigator, narrowing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stealing Federation mineral resources? Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren recalled the smuggled Mecha that appeared at the Wild Dog Gang this morning, and that space-system psychic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vague hypothesis formed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, Mr. Dedicated Investigator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask, where were you discovered? And where is their secret mining location?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren's tone became noticeably more cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter was even more interesting than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was discovered while infiltrating an Upper District official's residence to search for key evidence, and then the pursuit began.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he paused before continuing somewhat uncertainly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the mining location, it's speculated to be at that heavily guarded Federation prison outside the Upper District.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only there would have the conditions and time to secretly mine for so many years without being discovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren considered the truthfulness of the other's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a Federation coin from his pocket, tossed it into the air, and then snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he's lying to me, the coin will land on tails, Loren thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Snap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren caught the coin with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heads. It seems he told the truth, Loren nodded to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had verified in his own way that this severely wounded investigator was telling the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, was Ms. Thia's husband captured by the Wild Dog Gang and taken to the Federation prison to mine Spirit Stones?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren felt he had found the clue to his commission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, goodbye, Mr. Investigator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining the information he wanted, Loren picked up the case at his feet and turned to walk step by step out of the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paid no further attention to the severely wounded investigator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind Loren came a helpless voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're just going to leave me here? At least take me to a safe place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, I provided you with such confidential information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren's steps didn't pause, nor did he offer any response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intending to let him fend for himself here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, another voice came from behind Loren, sounding somewhat anxious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't you want to know who's behind the secret mining?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-03T08:20:30.964Z","2026-06-03T08:20:39.668Z",1,"novelbin.me","9e07461a24ef1571a451c9ee287f87641002b67da7c444d1616fb13b1917cd0f","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-21","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-19",388,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-cover.jpg"]
