Two soldiers, also piloting a mech, came to meet them. Upon seeing Li Ze, the two were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.

However, they dared not ask any more questions, so Li Ze saved himself the trouble of explaining again.

"Would you like to come back to our base with us first?" the soldier asked Li Ze for his opinion.

Li Ze did not answer directly, but looked at Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan, "Are you going home now, or waiting a couple of days to decide?"

“They’re all back now, there’s no rush for a day or two,” Chen Kaiyang said.

Wang Duan also said, "I'll go back in a couple of days too."

“Then let’s go to the garrison together.” Li Ze turned to the two soldiers. “Please lead the way.”

"You're too kind," the two soldiers said, somewhat flustered. "Please come with us."

The two soldiers took Li Ze to a base that was Snow Wolf territory, so there was no need to worry about the people there leaking Li Ze's information.

When the cool and imposing Xuan Ying landed, the soldiers stationed there looked like hungry wolves seeing their prey, eager to pounce on it.

But their strong sense of discipline allowed them to suppress their primal instincts.

"This mech looks familiar; I think I've seen it somewhere before."

"I was impressed by such a cool mecha after seeing it only once, how come you can't remember it?"

"I can't remember what happened, do you know?"

"Of course I know. The Commander's wife piloted it on Yaoguang Star."

"Oh, it really is. I knew I'd seen it before. This is the Commander's wife's mecha. What's it doing here? Who's inside?"

"Yes, who's inside?"

All the soldiers turned their heads and eagerly awaited the arrival of the soldiers.

The next second, the mecha's hatch opened, and an unfamiliar young man stepped out.

The soldiers were somewhat disappointed and turned their heads away.

"Oh, there's one more," someone reminded them.

The soldiers quickly turned their heads back. First, they saw feet by the hatch, then a pair of straight, long legs, then a slender waist, and further up, a delicate chin, petal-like lips, a slightly upturned nose, and strikingly beautiful eyes—eyes that seemed to draw you in at first glance.

this--

How could that be?

They must have seen it wrong, right?

The soldiers blinked, and the next second, the person they had seen countless times in the video jumped off the hatch and put the mech into the spatial button.

"lady?"

In the crowd, someone boldly shouted out.

Li Ze paused, then turned to look at the man.

"Holy crap, it really is Madam! Madam is still alive!" The man exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement.

Li Ze nodded slightly to the other party, and then left under the guidance of the soldiers.

Behind them, the suppressed, excited, and thrilled voices of the soldiers could be heard.

"Madam just responded to me!!!"

"Madam is so handsome!!!"

"Actually, he's handsome, the kind of refined handsomeness that boys have!"

"Am I the only one who thinks the lady has a strong aura? Just one look from her and my leg is gone."

"Damn, you're no good. Shouldn't it be hard?"

"Too powerful, I can't control it."

"Shut up, or I'll tell the Commander!"

........

The soldiers took Li Ze and the other three to their lodgings. Li Ze was given a single room, while Chen Kaiyang, Wang Duan, and Xu Zhou were given a shared room, similar to the soldiers' dormitories.

"Someone will bring you and the gentlemen food in a little while. Please see if you need anything, and you can let us know now or later." The soldier said, turning to Xu Zhou, "As for this gentleman, we need to collect various data from your body to help you with your household registration and other identity information."

Xu Zhou looked at Li Ze, asking silently.

"Don't worry, go with them," Li Ze said.

Xu Zhou and the soldiers left, while Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan stayed in Xu Zhou's room.

"Are you really going to steal Els's warship?" Chen Kaiyang asked. Although he couldn't see the screen when Li Ze and He Xingjue were communicating, the mechs were connected via a channel, so they could hear the sound.

Li Ze glanced indifferently at Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan. "Do I look like someone who would lie?"

"No." Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan shook their heads in unison.

"I haven't avenged Els for throwing me into the Star Sea yet," Li Ze said calmly.

However, Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan still sensed the murderous intent hidden beneath the calm surface.

Chen Kaiyang swallowed hard. "Are you confident against Els?"

To be honest, he didn't want the big boss to take risks. Els was known as the strongest space pirate leader, and his strength was extraordinary.

"How about we let Commander He help you get revenge?" Wang Duan suggested. Commander He dared to stab the princess, so he would definitely dare to kill Els.

"No need, I'll take revenge myself." Li Ze frowned; he didn't want to owe He Xingjue any more favors.

Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan knew that once the big boss made a decision, he wouldn't change it, so they didn't try to persuade him further.

The two exchanged a glance, both hesitant to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Li Ze asked, puzzled.

"We'd like to work under you," Chen Kaiyang said cautiously, his eyes filled with hope as he looked at Li Ze.

Wang Duan also looked at Li Ze with anticipation.

Li Ze paused for a moment, then seriously considered whether he needed to take on any followers.

The wait felt incredibly long, and Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan's palms were quickly soaked with sweat. Only when Li Ze nodded and said "Okay" did they both breathe a sigh of relief and smile.

"Help me dispose of the contents of these spatial buttons first." Li Ze handed over thirty-odd spatial buttons to Chen Kaiyang. "We'll keep the firearms for ourselves, and sell the rest, including the spatial buttons."

Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan's eyes widened. "So many!"

"It's a case of double-crossing," Li Ze said calmly. People from all three planets were trying to rob him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan's lips twitched, but they still gave Li Ze a thumbs up, "You're amazing!"

Li Ze snorted, his eyes filled with disdain, "A bunch of noobs."

Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan, who were even worse than chickens: "..."

"Take one set of mechs and one set of spatial buttons for each of you three. Remember to have someone check that these mechs don't have any tracking devices or anything like that," Li Ze said.

"You're giving us mechs and space buttons right away?" Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan were stunned by this surprise.

They already had their own space button, but it was taken by space pirates. As for the mecha, the one they hijacked from Li Ze last time belonged to He Xingyang.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of things costing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

"It's just a small thing," Li Ze said indifferently.

Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan: "......You can just say this to us, don't tell anyone else."

"Why?" Li Ze frowned.

“Others will be jealous,” Chen Kaiyang said.

I'm afraid I'll get beaten up.

Li Ze stayed at the camp for one night. The next day, He Xingjue secretly led his subordinates to the Exile Starfield.
