Brevis Star System, main star orbit, the large spaceport designated "North Tower."

This space station is Brevis's throat connecting to the external world, currently shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Today it is about to welcome a special "guest."

The port area has been cleared, and large numbers of staff and SDF (Star System Defense Force) personnel are waiting in the designated reception area, looking forward expectantly.

Their gazes focus on a berth in the port, where a huge transport ship that has just completed docking, scarred but still showing its former splendor, lies.

The "Xian Ge Hao," a Pilgrim-class transport ship.

A few hours ago, as this ship was about to enter the main star's orbit, several Green Skin "giant stones" attempted to intercept the transport ship.

Fortunately, the Brevis SDF reacted quickly, dispatching four Sword-class escort ships for emergency assistance.

After a fierce exchange of fire, they successfully destroyed those Green Skin giant stones, opening a safe route for the Xian Ge Hao.

Now, the main character finally makes his entrance.

Under countless gazes, the Xian Ge Hao's massive hatch facing the port slowly opens, extending an automatic escalator.

Keli Feng (Lin En himself), wearing a crisp dark blue captain's uniform, arm-in-arm with "Isud·Ke La," walks out of the hatch unhurriedly.

His steps are steady, his face bearing a perfectly measured smile, his purple eyes deep and mysterious.

Isud (Mu Ren Yi Hao) leans at his side, wearing a magnificent long dress, her makeup exquisite, her face carrying a reserved and elegant smile.

No one can detect that trace of purple glimmer hidden deep in her eyes.

Following closely behind is the Deputy Officer, Gus Griffith.

He has grown a thick beard, decorating his originally overly "handsome" features with rugged dignity.

Next is the Guard Team captain, Dou Dou.

This two-and-a-half-meter-tall Ogryn giant wears a custom-made oversized and thickened precision chest armor.

He is trying hard to keep a straight face, attempting to put on an expression of "I am very serious, I am very professional."

Although Dou Dou doesn't know what happened, he knows his Big Boss "Kaili" is showing off.

He has just put on this serious expression, trying hard not to ruin the atmosphere.

Last is the Steward, Tom Chris (Butcher).

At the bottom of the escalator, at the very front of the reception team, stand four figures of differing temperaments but all powerful and influential.

On the far left is a middle-aged man wearing a gray military uniform, his hair meticulously combed, wearing glasses.

He is Carter, Chief Executive of the Brevis Governor's Mansion, concurrently serving as Vice Marshal of the Planetary Defense Force PDF.

Representing the Brevis Governor's Mansion.

His expression is serious, as he carefully sizes up Lin En walking down the escalator.

Beside Carter is an SDF Navy Marshal wearing a white ceremonial uniform.

The third is an elderly man wearing magnificent red-and-white Bishop robes, holding a scepter, with a kind face.

He is a Bishop representing the State Religion, of lofty status.

On the far right is an obese Noble Lord dressed extremely luxuriously, adorned with numerous jewels, wearing a standard smile on his face.

He is a Noble Lord representing the Noble Council, concurrently serving as Spaceport Director.

His oily gaze scans back and forth over Lin En and Isud, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

Lin En walks down the escalator calmly, the corner of his eye quickly sweeping over the reception team and the surrounding environment.

He notices the shoulders of those port staff and SDF soldiers.

Almost everyone wears an emblem on the other shoulder or chest of their uniform.

Representing the Noble Council's Twelve Star Emblem.

It seems Kaili and Isud's information was correct; the Noble Council's tentacles indeed stretch extremely far.

Even the SDF and Spaceport, theoretically directly subordinate to the Planetary Governor, are heavily infiltrated.

His gaze falls back on the four representatives before him, quickly making a preliminary judgment:

At this time, everyone has walked down the escalator and arrived before the four representatives.

After shaking hands with the four representatives in turn, Lin En has already made the most basic judgment on the situation.

Except for the Governor's Mansion representative Carter, who might be one of his own.

The other three, the SDF Marshal and the Noble Lord, are obviously people of the Noble Council.

As for that State Religion Bishop, he currently appears to be a neutral party.

The situation is much better than he expected; at least he is not isolated and without aid.

According to procedure, Carter steps forward first to verify Lin En's identity.

He takes the exquisite envelope Lin En hands over, the "Star District Governor's Recommendation Letter."

He carefully checks the wax seal, the handwriting, and the anti-counterfeiting Psychic Mark on it.

After a moment, he slightly nods and returns the letter:

"The documents are correct, Governor's Excellency Keli Feng."

Next, Carter takes a black Data Crystal Box from the safe held by an Attendant behind him.

This is the "original" of the Brevis Gene Secret Order; the one on the Xian Ge Hao is merely a replicated "copy."

The four representatives were all staring fixedly at Lin En.

This was the first test—a substantive assessment of his identity as the Governor himself.

The genetic code could only be unlocked by Kerry·Feng's own biometric data.

If it could not be unlocked, or if any abnormality occurred during the process, then the authenticity of this "Governor" before them was worth questioning.

Under the current circumstances on Brevis, no great variable could be tolerated.

Lin En's expression remained unchanged as he calmly removed the white ceremonial glove from his right hand.

His right hand looked no different from an ordinary person's, with fair skin and slender fingers.

But in reality, this skin was highly realistic symbiotic armor tissue.

He lightly pressed his finger against the biological identification area on the front of the Data Crystal Box.

A green scanning light swept across his fingertip.

Beep!

A crisp alert sounded, the indicator light on top of the Crystal Origin Box turned from red to green, and the unlock was successful.

The expressions of all four representatives showed subtle changes.

Carter breathed a sigh of relief, the scrutiny in his eyes fading somewhat, replaced by a measure of approval.

The SDF Marshal remained expressionless, but a hint of disappointment seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes?

The State Religion Bishop's smile remained unchanged as he nodded in greeting to Lin En.

The Noble Lord raised an eyebrow, the smile on his face carrying flattery, but the contempt in his eyes did not change.

"Welcome, Governor's Excellency Kerry·Feng." Carter saluted formally.

"Brevis looks forward to your leadership!"

Lin En shook hands with Carter again.

This time, he felt Carter's loyalty and sincerity.

After the simple welcome ceremony, everyone boarded the Valkyrie Transport Aircraft that had long been waiting at the port.

They had been modified to be luxurious beyond recognition as Valkyrie Transport Aircraft.

The fleet slowly rose into the air, departed the Spaceport, and headed toward the planet below covered in ice, snow, and warfire.

Just as Lin En's fleet crossed the atmosphere and flew toward the Main Hive.

Xian Ge Hao, somewhere in a corner of the Slum.

Several figures cloaked in dark capes gathered quietly.

Beneath the cape hoods, their exposed skin could faintly be seen as an unnatural purple, with patterns constantly shifting upon it.

On the lining of their capes, a blasphemous symbol was embroidered with some kind of pigment.

Twin tongues bound by chains.

A figure who seemed to be their leader lifted a corner of his hood, revealing a bewitchingly beautiful face that appeared strange due to the purple color and proliferating tissue.

He watched the direction Lin En had departed.

He extended a long, forked tongue, licked his lips, his voice carrying a neither-male-nor-female charm full of temptation and madness.

He whispered to himself, as if conversing with some unseen existence:

"Master, look at what I have found for you..."
