"Don't do anything reckless. Killing someone will be punished by the Interstellar Court." The woman struggled and took a few steps back.
"Heh, how interesting. You, a bandit, are talking to another bandit about court sanctions?"
"Are you a bandit too?" the woman asked, her face filled with fear.
"Scared? It's too late." Ning Hong then looked at the man beside her. "What are your plans?"
“Kill her,” the young man said. “I am Mu Sheng, the eldest son of the Kapok Merchant Guild. A while ago, Shan Feng robbed one of our guild’s cargo ships. There were goods worth about 200 million star coins on board. I originally planned to capture her to exchange for the cargo ship, and we arranged to meet at the bar. But I didn’t expect that the deal would be canceled.”
Mu Sheng looked at Rui Xue; it was this woman who had let her go.
Upon hearing this, Rui Xue couldn't help but shrink her neck again.
"I didn't know," she murmured softly, completely oblivious to the fact that she had done anything wrong. She meant well; how could she possibly know this woman was the daughter of a bandit leader?
As the saying goes, ignorance is no excuse.
She only wanted to save her because she felt sorry for her, but this person not only wasn't grateful, but also wanted to kill her. It couldn't be worse.
Mu Sheng remained silent.
To be honest, he would never dare to keep a woman like that by his side.
That's absolutely terrifying.
Without her noticing, she drove people to their doom. Of course, if she had targeted an outsider, it wouldn't have mattered, but she deliberately targeted her own people.
“It’s her fault. I’ve handed her over to you. Do whatever you want with her.” Ning Hong then pulled Rui Xue out from behind her.
"Boss, regardless of Rui Xue's fault, give her another chance."
"Exactly, boss, she's just too kind."
One by one, the people behind her spoke up for her.
Ning Hong watched them coldly.
If this group of people really protects Rui Xue like this, then it's better not to work with her in the future.
After all, what he was doing was very dangerous; if he wasn't careful, the whole army could be wiped out.
Lingdu was also furious.
"Today's events arose because of Rui Xue, so naturally Rui Xue should be handed over to Young Master Mu."
"That won't be necessary." Mu Sheng shook his head. This woman was able to find so many helpers so quickly; clearly, Shanfeng wasn't serious about the deal. They'd probably already laid a trap for me. Come to think of it, Rui Xue did help me. So, let's not dwell on it; let's just consider it making friends."
"Young Master Mu has a very magnanimous heart."
No wonder the Kapok Merchant Guild is the largest merchant guild in the entire Federation; just look at its grandeur.
"The president of the Kapok Merchants Association?" Rui Xue's eyes lit up.
She knew this; the Kapok Merchant Guild was the richest organization in the entire Federation.
She had heard that the Kapok Merchant Guild even had its own Kapok Star. If she could marry him, she would never have to worry about anything in the future.
"What? You want to go with him?"
"Me, me?" Rui Xue lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes like small fans, shy and timid, which made her quite pitiful.
Mu Sheng raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"Do you really want to follow the president of the Kapok Merchant Guild?"
"I don't know." How could she possibly bring herself to say something like that? She just glanced at him furtively. If he liked her, he should just tell her already.
"If you don't know, then forget it."
"No, I'm willing." She couldn't miss this opportunity; if she did, she didn't know when she would have another chance.
Mu Sheng: "..."
"Take it. Didn't they say they like the president of the Kapok Merchant Guild?" Ning Hong said with a smile. Take it with you quickly, so as not to affect things here.
"Oh." I see. "In that case, I'll take her with me. As for this woman, you can kill her." Since the deal can't be completed, there's no need to keep her around.
This woman is ruthless; keeping her around will only increase her enemies.
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me, I can get my father to return your goods to you."
"Don't kill me."
The woman regretted it. She shouldn't have gone out alone, and she shouldn't have brought her people to seek revenge after running away. She should have run away.
Those who should run far away are the ones who should.
Unfortunately, hindsight is always 20/20.
A gunshot rang out, and the woman, her eyes wide open, fell into a pool of blood.
"The rest is up to you to handle."
Ning Hong turned around, preparing to lead his team away, but saw his men standing there, lingering over Rui Xue.
"Boss, are you really going to give Ruixue away?"
These people were somewhat resentful.
"What? You want to leave with her?"
Ning Hong then turned to look at those who were standing still.
“We just feel that this is unfair to Rui Xue. You can’t treat Rui Xue like this just to please the son of the Chamber of Commerce president.”
"Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what Rui Xue just said? She said she was willing, it was her own choice, it wasn't the boss who forced her to go."
Lingdu said with dissatisfaction, "If none of you can bear to part with her, then you can all go with her."
They don't need people like that.
"us······"
They wouldn't want to leave if you really asked them to.
"Don't argue with the boss over me, it's not worth it."
She's about to achieve great success, and having her own people by her side would definitely be better. Besides, these people are all trained; aside from being a bit dim-witted, they're all quite skilled.
"I, I, I went voluntarily, but I'm a little reluctant to leave you all."
Lingdu: "..."
My god, what a scheming woman.
When she said that, those who already liked her couldn't stand it.
They were all willing to leave with her.
"They're gone."
Ning Hong then pulled Ling Du, who looked unwilling.
"General, are you just going to let them go like this?"
Ning Hong was originally a general of the Imperial Star, so many people who knew him called him General. However, now that he has become the lord of the Bandit Star, he can no longer be addressed by his former title.
Therefore, it was changed to "elder brother".
Lingdu would only utter these two words when he was anxious.
"Let them go. They're not united, what's the point of keeping them around?"
Besides, the more people there are, the easier it is to become a target.
The once large group of people returned home with a third of them missing. Not only was Ling Du frustrated, but the other members of the bandit planet were also frustrated.
They painstakingly trained these people, fed them the best food, and provided them with the best things, only to end up like this.
A bunch of ingrates.
He was just waiting to see what would happen to them.
I bet Rui Xue is secretly thrilled right now. I wonder how she'll feel when she realizes what's happened. Hopefully, she'll be furious...
