Chapter 55: The Capital of Saichuan Empire, Put Away Your Knife
On the interstellar pirates' main starship, the faint light emitted by the floating screen of the intelligent computer shone on Saan's deep and three-dimensional facial features. He had arrogant red hair and a long and thin scar under his right eye.
The subordinates held their breath and lowered their heads to concentrate on their own work. The entire cab was eerily quiet. These subordinates who survived the power seizure could not help but recall their previous boss.
Back then, they could still tell dirty jokes as they pleased and enjoy a wonderful life with women on both sides. But ever since Sarn killed the boss and took over, a series of strict rules have been imposed that have made these space pirates feel suffocated.
But no one dared to resist Sarn. Recalling the miserable and horrible death of their former boss, the pirates shook their arms and got goose bumps all over the floor.
Saen leaned back in his chair and checked the information Ming Jue sent him. The faces of rows of powerful people were all visible. Below the portraits were their detailed identity information, and their assets were clearly visible.
Since they parted in the dungeon, Saen followed Ming Jue to the Saichuan Empire. Ming Jue saw that he was useful, so he arranged him into the so-called Wanderer Corps to help him control this force.
Saen did not fail in his mission. He killed the previous boss and successfully became the new pirate leader of the interstellar pirates. He wandered around the edge galaxies of the Saichuan Empire and helped Mingjue complete various assassination orders.
This time, the powerful people of the Saichuan Empire fled, attempting to seek asylum in the Perseus Empire. Ming Jue couldn't bear to watch such a large group of gold bags escape, so he arranged for Sarn to wait for an opportunity and intercept them halfway.
Sarn suddenly asked, "How many did you catch?"
The pirates' hands trembled with fear when they heard his voice. They pushed each other. Finally, a bald young man who had been following Sarn stood up, suppressing his panic. "We've captured ten so far, and we've got the money."
Sane remained silent, gazing at the starry sky outside the window. His mind had already drifted far away, and he had no idea when Mingnuo would arrive.
Ming Jue suddenly gave him an order yesterday, asking him to pick up Ming Nuo and bring him into the territory of Saichuan Empire. He also sent him the model and appearance of the starship that Ming Nuo was riding on.
Judging from the time, it should have arrived by now.
"Boss!" A frantic younger brother rushed over to him, "The third team we sent out was completely wiped out."
Saen's brows darkened. "Who did this?"
I didn't dare to hide anything and told him the whole story from beginning to end. "I don't know. The third team was originally chasing a gold nugget, but suddenly a starship appeared in the middle of the journey. It looked ordinary on the outside, but its weapon configuration was top-notch. It beat us like a grandson."
After listening to this, a guess emerged in Sane's mind. He could hardly hide his joy and stood up directly.
His big move scared the little brother on the opposite side so much that his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. It was all over. Was the boss mad?
Sarn spoke faster: "Where are they now?"
I immediately marked the coordinates, and the fleet immediately accelerated towards Mingno.
On the other side, Ming Nuo watched Aqir annihilate several pirate starships with ease, leaving debris floating in the universe. He looked at Aqir with admiration, "Second uncle, you are so amazing."
The pride in Archer's eyes could hardly be hidden. He glanced at Sedwick with a hint of meaning and said, "If anyone dares to bully you in the future, tell your uncle and he will help you vent your anger."
Ming Nuo nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, second uncle."
Mo Lin was munching on a bag of snacks while his eyes flickered between Archie and Sedwick. He already knew that Sedwick had gotten a gigolo before him, and he was quite envious at first.
But now, Mo Lin patted Sedwick's shoulder with the air of a seasoned veteran, "Alas, it seems living off a gigolo isn't easy."
Sedwick: "..."
In fact, he didn't think that Achilles was pointing at him, because there was no possibility that he would bully Mingnuo.
"Over there... there are a lot of starships coming." Ming Nuo suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise. Not far away, a huge fleet of starships was heading towards them at a high speed.
Mingnuo's first reaction was that the interstellar pirates came to seek revenge. In terms of numbers, there were at least dozens of starships on the opposite side, and Mingnuo and his men could only be crushed.
Ming Nuo hugged Seren's arm anxiously, "There are so many of them, what should we do if we can't defeat them?"
"What are you afraid of?" Aqier said calmly, "If you can't win, just run away. But where is the contact person Ming Jue promised? Why hasn't he shown up yet? Was he killed?"
At this moment, the starship system issued a reminder, "Unknown signal source requesting a call, note: Is this Mingnuo?"
Mingnuo was stunned when he heard his name. Sedwick raised his eyebrows. After Mingnuo returned to the empire, people usually called him Lorian, but how did this person know the name "Mingnuo"?
Sedwick: "Someone you know?"
How could Ming Nuo know? He shook his head in confusion, "Could it be Uncle's people?"
They connected the communication, and the next second, Saen's holographic projection appeared in front of Mingnuo. Mingnuo pursed his lips. He felt that this person was very familiar at first sight, and couldn't help but look him up and down.
Red hair, a scar under his right eye, tugging... Ming Nuo felt that this person was strangely familiar, but who was it? Ming Nuo racked his brains to think.
While Mingnuo was observing Sane, Sane was also staring at Mingnuo.
They haven't seen each other for several years, but Ming Nuo is still as cute as ever. His blue eyes are more lively and clear than before. He must have lived well these years, and the noble air of being loved and pampered is becoming more and more obvious.
Yes, he is now the most beloved little prince in the Perseus Empire.
"Don't you remember me?" Seeing Mingnuo's confused face, Saen spoke first with a smile in his eyes.
His voice didn't change much from before. Ming Nuo remembered it instantly and pointed at Sane in shock, "You, you... Sane?"
Sarn's voice immediately softened, "Well, long time no see, Mingnuo."
Mingnuo was surprised and delighted when his childhood playmate, whom he thought he would never see again, suddenly appeared in front of him. However, after learning that Saen had become a pirate leader and was the one sent by his uncle to pick him up, Mingnuo began to feel a sense of strangeness.
They are no longer the little kids who used to pick up trash in the dungeon to sell.
A few minutes later, Mingnuo and his group arrived at the main starship of the interstellar pirates. The younger brothers recognized Mingnuo and his group at a glance and were stunned, shocked as to why the boss brought back these Perseus royal family members.
Aren't you going there for revenge?
Mo Lin followed slowly at the end, smiling and greeting the pirates, "Hi~"
Don't hit a smiling person, so the pirates just laughed at him in a daze.
Mo Lin laughed for no reason. Who could possibly connect a notorious interstellar bandit with Ming Jue, the much-anticipated Grand Duke? So, the minds of these manipulative politicians are truly unfathomable.
"Mingnuo." Sane strode towards Mingnuo. After Mingnuo looked at him, he became extremely excited, his heart pounding, and he opened his arms, "You..."
But before he could hug Mingnuo, Sedwick stood in front of Mingnuo with a cold and handsome face, preventing him from getting any closer, and at the same time held Mingnuo's hand possessively.
Mingnuo glanced at Sedwick, and seeing that the two men were looking at each other expressionlessly, he enthusiastically introduced him to Sane: "This is my boyfriend, Sedwick."
Then he introduced Sane to Sedwick. After listening to him, Sedwick took the initiative to extend his hand to Sane and said, "Thank you for taking care of Nono during that time."
Saen's mood took a turn for the worse, but because Mingnuo was looking at him expectantly, he could only pinch his nose and shake hands with Sedwick, then immediately pull his hand back.
There was hostility towards each other in their eyes.
Archer and Seren looked at each other. It seemed that this Saan had some thoughts about their Lorian.
Like every protective parent, when faced with a young boy who likes their child, they immediately find fault with him.
Sarn, a space pirate, was kicked out by them in the first round.
If Mingnuo falls in love with him and insists on following him, then every time they want to see Lorian, they will have to check the latest news to see where the space pirates have been robbing recently.
If they are not careful, they will be destroyed by the armies of other countries, and then they will really be useless even if they have a place to cry at the grave.
Tsk…
Thinking of this, Archer and Seren looked at Sedwick with a more handsome face. At least he was a child they had raised, and they knew his character and family background very well.
If this kid really dares to do something bad in the future, Archer will rush to his house and slap him in the face. If spanking him alone is not enough to satisfy his anger, he will also spank his father as well.
Billions of light years away, Marshal Stewart suddenly had an ominous premonition and shuddered violently.
A faint atmosphere of war hung between Saan and Sedwick. Only Mingnuo foolishly failed to notice it. He continued to accuse the interstellar pirates of stealing his candy, "...That's really too much."
When San heard that his men had robbed Mingnuo's things, he wanted to attack immediately, but when he heard about the time and items that were robbed, his long-lost memories slowly came back.
Sarn froze for a moment, "It seems... I stole it."
Ming Nuo: “…”
Sedwick could hardly suppress the upward curve of his lips. He immediately took out a candy, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into Mingnuo's mouth. "It's okay. I prepared a lot of candy in advance."
Saen gritted his teeth, suspecting that this man was taking advantage of his misfortune.
"I'm sorry." Sane sincerely confessed to Mingnuo, "I didn't know it was yours."
Ming Nuo wasn't too angry, after all, so much time had passed. He advised, "It's okay. Just don't snatch other people's packages in the future. People who can't wait for the courier will be really upset."
Saen nodded and agreed.
The other interstellar pirates saw that their boss had to bow his head before His Highness Lorian, but was rude to the other two famous highnesses, and they immediately dared not look down on Mingnuo.
It is obvious that although this little prince looks harmless, he is probably more cruel than his uncles. Otherwise, why would the boss be so polite to him?
The younger brothers felt that they had seen through everything, and when they gave snacks to Mingnuo, they were very respectful and didn't dare to look up at him.
"According to your uncle's instructions, I will send you directly to the capital planet of the Saichuan Empire."
Sarn explained the next steps to Mingnuo. He looked at his conspicuous silver hair and blue eyes and took out a few military camouflage devices and handed them to them. "Many people recognize your faces. These are prepared by your uncle for you. It's best to cover your face."
Ming Nuo nodded and put the earring-like camouflage device on his earlobe. He had black hair and black eyes like Ming Jue, and his facial features also changed slightly. At first glance, it was obvious that he was related to Ming Jue.
Achilles and Seren's iconic golden eyes turned black, and their appearance became ordinary, and they would not attract any attention if they were thrown into a crowd.
Mo Lin also had an ordinary face, but after looking at Sedwick's handsome face, he felt it was unfair, "Why are yours more handsome than ours?"
Ming Nuo is Ming Jue's beloved younger generation. It would be fine if he just gave him a more advanced camouflage device, but why does Sedwick have to use this handsome face?
Sedwick glanced at him coldly and said, "Is it not okay for me to provide Mingnuo with sex appeal?"
Others: “…”
Ming Nuo's face flushed red, feeling embarrassed and angry. "Aren't you ashamed?"
"I think that's true." Sedwick thought carefully before speaking. "I don't know your Uncle Mingjue. He only treats me so well because of you."
Ming Nuo felt that this made sense and nodded in agreement, "That's right."
As if his status was recognized, Sedwick glanced at Saen with a hint of pride. Saen was almost furious and took a deep breath for a long time before calming down.
After entering the territory of the Sechuan Empire, Saan switched the appearance of a starship, transformed from an interstellar pirate into a regular imperial army, and swaggered into the jump point.
Private starships were strictly monitored and were not allowed to enter the jump point. The wealthy people who were anxious to leave the Saichuan Empire for refuge came into direct conflict with the staff of the jump point.
Ming Nuo has seen several big fights in a row. Whether it is a big fight or a small fight, shooting people in the head is the norm.
When the starship entered the capital of Sechuan, parades could be seen everywhere in the streets. Men, women, young and old were all there, waving flags and shouting, "We want work! Destroy the androids! Give us back our lives!"
"Bionic people are the root of all evil, and no enlightenment is supreme!"
The soldiers who were in charge of maintaining order didn't waste time talking to them. They used electric batons to disperse the crowd, and cries and screams rang out one after another.
"boom--"
An explosion occurred somewhere and the scene became even more chaotic.
Ming Nuo was shocked by the scene below, his whole body went cold. This was a hellish scene he had never seen in the Perseus Empire. "They killed people... A child was trampled to death..."
Sedwick hugged him and covered his eyes, "Okay, stop looking."
Ming Nuo didn't have the courage to look anymore. He turned around and hugged Sedwick's neck, burying his head in his neck. "Our empire is still the best."
Sedwick stroked the back of his head, his voice gentle, "Of course."
"I kind of want to go home."
"Meet your uncle first."
"Yeah." Mingnuo hugged Sedwick tightly and leaned listlessly in his arms.
In the Duke's Mansion, the towering walls completely isolated the chaos of the outside world. Ming Jue stood on the lawn waiting for Ming Nuo. Behind him, Bugsen and Qiu Qiaoyu stayed by Ming Jue's side as always.
Bugson thought of the times he had tried to bring Mingnuo back but failed, and said with emotion, "It wasn't easy. After so many years, I finally got the young master back."
Qiu Qiaoyu ignored him.
After a while, the starship slowly landed. Achilles and Seren were the first to get off the starship, followed by Mingnuo, but he looked uninterested and not very happy.
Ming Jue recognized Ming Nuo at a glance, opened his arms to him, and smiled softly, "Nunuo."
"Uncle..." Ming Nuo felt a little aggrieved. He trotted and threw himself into Ming Jue's arms, hugging his waist. Feeling the warmth on his body, his voice trembled slightly. "There's a fight outside. Many people are dead."
"I know." Ming Jue comforted Ming Nuo, looking at his face which was now exactly like his brother's, and took out a knife. "This is the knife your father Mingchuan gave you. Don't lose it next time."
Ming Nuo caressed the knife lovingly, "I thought I had lost it..."
"Your lamb bun is here with me, too."
Ming Jue smiled, but his eyes were cold. "Nono, the chaos here will soon be over. In a few days, you can come with me to kill the murderer who killed your father Mingchuan and avenge your father, okay?"
Ming Nuo's eyes moved, and hatred immediately filled his eyes. He gripped the handle of the knife tightly and nodded heavily, "Yes, I will kill the murderer with my own hands."
