"Her bounty should be about the same as mine."
...
"???"
Did the gossip get back to haunt you?
Silver Wolf looked at Kafka with disbelief and asked the question about the Soul Strike:
"Whose side are you on?"
"It seems... she's not willing." Kafka stroked her chin, then shifted her gaze to Zhou Xiao and continued, "
She doesn't want to have her reward money exchanged, and I don't want to have a direct confrontation with you...
"If that doesn't work out... how about you work for us Star Core Hunters for a while to pay off your debt?"
Star Core Hunter Kafka formally extended an invitation to Zhou Xiao.
“...”
This abrupt invitation made Zhou Xiao frown slightly. He really didn't expect that Kafka and Silver Wolf had come to the Yalilo VI to try and get him on board.
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have had a dream on the morning Xingmei joined the Starry Sky Train.
In the dream... he seemed to be very close to the Star Core Hunters, and in the end, Kafka even invited him to join the Star Core Hunters...
A prophetic dream?
Zhou Xiao remained silent.
He initially thought the dream was absurd; after all, he was perfectly fine on the Star Train, and it was impossible for him to be hanging out with Kaffa and her group of Star Core Hunters...
And now...
He hesitated.
Right now, he doesn't know where he'll go in the future... and the self-discipline system requires him to fill his daily life...
The identity of Star Train logistics officer is temporarily put on hold... Star Core Hunter Zhou Xiao might be able to come online for a while.
Even if the trouble he caused involved the Star Core Hunter, he wouldn't care too much, after all, he had no connection with the Star Core Hunter... and the Star Core Hunter wasn't exactly a good person either...
"Don't you... know that I'm a logistics worker for the Star Train?"
Zhou Xiao raised this question, and Kafka didn't think about it much upon hearing it.
"A logistics worker abandoned by the Star Train? Leaving you to face the Annihilation Lord alone... I don't think your status on the Star Train was that high, was it?"
Zhou Xiao did not answer Kafka's question, but instead used another rhetorical question to evade the issue.
"What terms...can you offer me?"
What benefits could a Star Core Hunter bring him?
...
While Zhou Xiao was negotiating with the Star Core Hunter, the damaged Star Train used a jump to cross the star orbit and travel to the star field near the Black Tower Space Station.
As for why they warped back, it was entirely because Pam felt that the Black Tower space station might be safer, and they could also resupply and repair the Starship...
“I’m back…” Xingmei looked at the dark star field, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
There were no swarms of antimatter soldiers here, and no danger, allowing them to catch their breath, but no one showed any emotion on their faces.
They are safe... but her master, Zhou Xiao, is facing an absolute tyrant alone... his fate is unknown.
"Master... will he come back alive?" Xingmei asked slowly.
Who can guarantee that?
That was the Destruction Envoy, Burning Wind, one of the strongest among the seven Annihilation Lords...
“This guy…” Himeko was furious. Her full breasts heaved with her breath. She was the one who brought Zhou Xiao onto the Starry Sky Train… and she had witnessed firsthand Zhou Xiao’s rise through increasing self-discipline…
The Star Train cannot lose Zhou Xiao... just as the West cannot lose Jerusalem!
“Pam, drive the train back…” Himeko said.
Even if going back would mean certain death, she would bring her logistics officer back...
"I'm afraid... it's not going to work, Pam." Little Pam indicated that the Star Train had suffered significant energy loss and some damage to its power unit, and would need to be stopped for a period of time before it could restart its jump.
"Bang--"
Himeko slammed her fist on the train door to calm herself down, then headed to the support car to grab tools to repair the train's power unit...
Hmm...
Seeing Himeko's state, everyone remained silent for a couple of seconds before getting to work. Some checked the train's condition, while others treated March 7th...
...
What terms can we offer you?
Above the star system where Yalilo VI was located, Kafka pondered Zhou Xiao's question for two seconds before asking in return:
What do you want?
“...”
What do I want?
A glint of light flashed in Zhou Xiao's calm eyes.
Previously, he would have answered Kafka without hesitation that he wanted money and the ability to save his life.
Although it sounds vulgar, it does reflect the needs of ordinary people, since only those with money can buy more of what they require.
But now...
Having experienced this crisis, he wanted to know even more what he was, or rather... who the "him" inside him was...
The "him" who imprisoned him on that white chair in that illusion.
...
Seeing Zhou Xiao staring at Kafka for a long time without saying a word, Silver Wolf raised an eyebrow slightly, then nudged Kafka and whispered:
"Kafka, do you think he... wants you?"
"Me?" Kafka instantly realized that Silver Wolf was teasing her.
Her response to this was also incredibly hurtful.
"Hmm, looks like you're not so sad anymore. How many game accounts do you have left? I'll see if I can report them and get StarCraft to ban them all..."
