"Still haven't found them?"
"No."
"No news even from Father?"
Ling Wenbang shook his head: "How exactly did Aunt Song manage to evade the military's pursuit?"
Ling Wenying's eyes darkened: "The Federation is not peaceful right now. There are many people doing illegal things in private. The Song family, where Aunt Song is from, has a huge business. It wouldn't be difficult for Aunt Song to know a few powerful people before she married into our Ling family."
“I don’t know how my younger brother is doing. There’s been no news of him for months. I don’t know if Father can find Aunt Song and bring him back with him.”
Ling Wenying sneered: "You're still counting on him?"
Ling Wenbang sighed, "Wenying, don't target Father like that. He has always been working hard and has been really good to us."
“He’s only good to us. Isn’t Aunt Song his wife? Isn’t my little brother his son? As the one who’s being favored, I’d rather give up his kindness and have Aunt Song and my little brother back.”
Ling Wenbang was speechless. His father was indeed better to them than most men in the entire Federation, but he was irresponsible towards Aunt Song and his younger brother.
Ling Chengrong's hand, which was about to open the door, was stuck on the doorknob. He lowered his eyes in dejection. During this period, he had really been trying to find the two of them, but according to the informant's report, Wen Ye was likely sold to another pirate group. There were countless pirate groups in the interstellar space. No matter how capable he was, he would need time to investigate, especially the pirates' headquarters. If his men got close, they would die. He couldn't just let his soldiers impulsively die.
As for Song Xia, we did find a boxer named Xia Song, because the time he appeared matched the time Song Xia disappeared, and the names were similar, but how could that be?
Although it's easy to change one's appearance in interstellar space nowadays, how can a person's strength change so drastically? To grow into a top-tier fighter in such a short time? Even if a woman trains from childhood to adulthood, very few can achieve such a feat.
Because Ling Chengrong was so convinced of this, the pirate group easily overlooked the past during their investigation, and almost no one believed that Song Xia and Xia Song were the same person.
Just kidding, how could a marshal's wife, who received a ladylike education from a young age, possibly come to the pirate group's territory to fight to the death? Therefore, when Song Xia stepped into the Misty Star, she was greeted only with cheers.
"Your name has spread throughout the entire pirate crew. Not to mention female fighters, even male fighters rarely achieve such success in such a short time," said Lei Jie, the man who brought her. "No matter what you went through before, here, strength is everything."
"You won't go back on your promise to me, will you?"
"No, if you're really worried, you can go look for it during your rest time."
"Mm." Song Xia nodded. Before coming, she had already made it clear that she suspected her son had been sold to a pirate group, so she asked the man to help her find out.
The pirate crew adopts orphans from different places every year. After completely denying that she was Marshal's wife Song Xia, Lei Jie agreed to find her biological son who had been sold by a scumbag and a bitch.
"Aren't you going to seek revenge on those two?"
Song Xia's face was as cold as frost: "Of course we have to find them, but these two have been hiding like turtles all these years. One day we'll teach them a lesson they won't forget."
"Now that you're so powerful, they've probably already heard of your name and are hiding like rats in a gutter. You just need to patiently wait for them to show themselves."
“That’s certainly interesting,” Song Xia sneered. “But the Federation is so big, they might be living a carefree life somewhere else.”
"As long as you win ten consecutive matches on Mist Star, you'll have plenty of people in the Mist Sea Pirates to command."
Song Xia clenched her fist: "I won't lose."
After arriving at her accommodation, Lei Jie arranged for a nanny to take care of her. The nanny was a middle-aged woman who was mute and had a timid look in her eyes, but she worked very efficiently. Song Xia did not talk to her much, but simply explained her living habits.
The next day, she asked Lei Jie curiously, "Interstellar medicine is so advanced now, why is she still mute?"
Lei Jie smiled enigmatically: "Medical technology is advanced, but this is Fog Star. Fog Star doesn't support useless people. Everyone has to rely on themselves for survival. She can't afford the treatment, so this is the only option."
Reggie paused for a moment: "But you don't need to worry about these things. With your current net worth, you can live on Fog Star for the rest of your life."
"I still need to find my son and get revenge on that despicable couple. How can I stay here forever?"
"Then you haven't experienced the treatment of the strong on Mist Star, or you don't want to leave after living here for a while."
After resting for two days, Song Xia faced her first fight on Mist Star. The fighting arena here was more bustling than any she had been to before, but also more chaotic. The matches were practically without rules, continuing until one side died or surrendered.
However, once someone voluntarily admits defeat, they have to compensate the organizers with countless treasures, and may even be financially ruined. Therefore, very few people who step into the fighting arena admit defeat. After all, on this planet built on strength, money, and desire, the taste of losing is not much better than death.
Fortunately, this is only for the first five fights after arriving on Mist Star. As long as you win five fights, these will no longer be a constraint. However, very few newcomers to Mist Star can win five consecutive fights; most of them are eliminated with regret.
Despite the high cost of conceding defeat, countless people still flock to this place, because once they win, they will possess immense wealth and power, becoming the elite of the Mist Star.
"Are you scared?" Lei Jie looked at Song Xia with interest. "Although you were invincible before, everyone who can come here is a famous person. If you retreat now, I can still find a way to send you out of the Mist Star. But once you are defeated here, you will be unable to do anything."
"I'm never afraid of trouble." Song Xia took off her outer robe and walked out amidst the cheers of the audience.
Women rarely stand in the arena of Fog Star, so her appearance caused the atmosphere to boil over.
"What's going on?" Pirate captain Roger happened to be passing by the fighting arena and stopped when he heard the tsunami-like cheers.
My subordinate quickly investigated and found out: "A female fighter arrived today."
"Oh?" Roger became interested, then turned around. "How long has it been since a woman came here?"
"It's been a year already. The one from a year ago didn't even last two games."
"Let's go in and take a look."
The subordinate, however, was not very interested, and his tone was full of contempt for the woman: "Boss, what's so interesting about this? What do women know about fighting? This is probably just a one-day trip."
Roger gave him a warning: "When you're out in the world, make sure Laetia and Gri don't hear you say that. They're women too, aren't they more capable than you?"
The subordinate shut his mouth, thinking to himself, "Can those two 'tyrants' be the same?"
