Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

Forcing the door open and grabbing them wasn't hard, but Lin En worried about these two.

Especially that Kaili; under extreme fear and stimulation, he might suffer a mental breakdown and be directly corrupted by the Warp, or commit suicide on the spot.

He still needed to "invite" them out and have them cooperate to perfectly execute his plan.

He waved his hand, signaling the few original crew members infected by Genestealers following behind to step forward.

"Captain, it's really reinforcements! I'm Hans from the Engineering Department!"

A man with abrasions on his face, wearing dirty work clothes, edged to the restaurant door and shouted in a voice choked with tears and relief.

"The pirates and xenos have all been eliminated by the Imperial Navy Adults!

We're saved! Come out quickly!"

There was no movement inside.

Another "crew member," wearing a damaged Star Realm Army uniform, also spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Adult Kaili, I'm Henry from the Star Realm Army Regiment!

I personally saw those pointy-eared monsters blasted into fragments by the Adults' Bomb Guns!

And those insects were also burned to death by flamethrowers!

We're safe! The Emperor has watched over us!"

Inside the door, Kaili's gaze began to waver again.

Hans? Henry? The voice... seemed somewhat familiar; could they really have been saved?

Isud, however, pressed down on him firmly, her eyes cold.

Something's wrong; how could Hans and Henry end up together?

And both near the Bridge?

Moreover, although their tone was panicked, there was an indescribable stiffness to it.

Lena was sensing the emotional fluctuations inside through psychic power outside.

She told Lin En that relying on "acquaintances" shouting wasn't enough.

He thought for a moment, stepped forward personally, his tone becoming even gentler, even carrying a trace of just-right anxiety:

"Captain Kaili, I am Imperial Navy Lieutenant Demitriyan Titus.

I fully understand your fear, but please listen to me.

The ship is severely damaged; secondary explosions or structural collapses may occur in some Areas.

It is not safe here; please come out immediately and follow my subordinates to the safe lifeboat Area.

This is an order! And it's for your safety!"

"A reassuring name," "Lieutenant," "order," "lifeboat."

These words held a fatal attraction for the panic-stricken Kaili.

His last line of psychological defense began to crumble.

Isud still wanted to stop him, but Kaili fiercely shook off her hand, breathing heavily, eyes red:

"Get out, I want to get out!

Even if it's a trap, I accept it; I don't want to wait to die in this damn place anymore!"

With trembling hands, he fiercely pressed the button, opening the Mishishi door.

The dazzling light made Kaili squint.

He staggered out, first seeing several figures wearing Imperial Navy-style armor, as well as several familiar yet unfamiliar "crew member" faces.

Many Dark Eldar corpses lay on the ground, along with purple Bug Remains, and a blood taste permeated the air.

It seemed... they were really saved?

Kaili's leg went soft, and he almost knelt down, his face smeared with tears and snot.

His expensive clothes became dirty and emitted a strange odor, wretched to the extreme.

Isud followed closely out of the Mishishi.

Her condition was somewhat better than Kaili's; at least she could stand steadily, but her face was equally pale as paper, and her gaze swept sharply around the surroundings.

Her gaze quickly passed over the corpses on the ground, passed over those "crew members" with slightly dull expressions.

Finally landing on the "Imperial Navy Lieutenant" in the lead.

Waiting for her pupils to refocus and adapt to the light.

Only then did she clearly see Lin En's face; on the purple face mask were six compound eyes!

They've been tricked!

Isud instantly realized this was absolutely not the Imperial Navy.

She almost instinctively wanted to turn around and flee and let out a piercing scream.

But at the moment she turned around.

Two crew members who had been silently standing at the side rear suddenly moved, moving at a speed not like humans.

Isud only felt her arms tighten; she had already been firmly twisted behind her back, and immense strength made her unable to move.

"What are you doing?! Let her go quickly, I am the Planetary Governor!"

Kaili finally reacted, shouting in panic, but his voice soon weakened.

He realized this was no longer the Xian Ge Hao of old.

Afterwards he was so frightened he covered his face and sobbed.

"Enough." Lin En spoke indifferently, walking to them.

The shadow cast by the tall armored body completely enveloped this pair of impoverished noble couples.

"What are you crying for?" he said impatiently to Kaili, who was still sobbing softly.

"I didn't say I'd kill you, a grown man, why are you so womanish."

Kaili was so frightened he shuddered, his sobbing forcibly swallowed back, leaving only faint choking sounds.

Seeing Kaili had controlled himself, Lin En cleared his throat and said:

"Who I am doesn't matter; what matters is that I'm not interested in your lives."

"But I am very interested in 'resources,' especially food."

Seeing the two knew they were unwelcome guests, Lin En stopped pretending.

Hearing he wouldn't be killed, Kaili's emotions stabilized somewhat.

Isud also reacted immediately; not only did the other not kill them, but he had demands, had demands, so there was room for negotiation!

"Adult, what do you want? I am Isud of the Kola Family from the Calixis Sector. Whatever your demands, speak to me!"

Isud immediately spoke up, hoping to learn Lin En's demands.

"Someone, slap him, who let you speak?" Lin En immediately responded.

A "crewman" walked up to Isud, said nothing, and raised his palm.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Three heavy slaps landed on Isud's exquisite face.

The crisp, loud slapping sounds echoed in the room.

Each one struck with full force, Isud's carefully maintained cheeks quickly reddened and swelled.

She was struck until her head turned sideways, her hair completely disheveled, expensive ornaments knocked flying everywhere.

From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever suffered such an insult?

Intense pain and humiliation made her vision black out, her body trembling violently from anger and fear.

But she bit her teeth hard, neither shrieking nor begging for mercy, only staring fixedly at Lin En with bloodshot eyes.

Kaili witnessed his wife being slapped in public, first terrified.

Then, a twisted, dark delight he himself hadn't noticed welled up from the depths of his heart.

This wife who always overshadowed him, shrewd and domineering, whom he both respected and feared, also had her day?

Seeing her miserable state of being beaten, Kaili discovered he actually... felt a bit excited?

He quickly lowered his head to hide his complex expression.

Lin En took in the fleeting emotion in the depths of Kaili's eyes, coldly smiling in his heart.

He had long known that between the two, the woman was dominant.

But he didn't like dealing with overly shrewd people, because that would be troublesome.
