Anita blames herself
Anita had never seen such a scene before. A tall and mighty man like Senna actually knelt in front of her, begging her humbly for mental guidance.
This scene made her feel a little overwhelmed for a moment, and her eyes were full of hesitation.
Seeing this, Edmund's face darkened. He strode forward and punched Senna in the face.
Senna didn't dodge or evade, and took the punch head-on. Blood instantly flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground.
He was the lord of the inner city, usually surrounded and flattered by the crowd, but now he was beaten so violently by another male orc without any resistance, which shocked the guards behind him.
Old Xia, who was hiding in the house, saw this scene and shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Edmund is still too young and impulsive. He didn't realize that Senna was deliberately pretending to be pitiful!"
As the city lord, Senna has always been arrogant. Although his mental strength is not as good as Edmund's, he will never willingly kneel on the ground and be beaten.
He knew that Edmund would act impulsively to protect Anrita, so he deliberately devised a plan to anger Edmund. Being beaten was just his way of courting Anrita so as to win her sympathy.
In this world, male orcs often resort to any means necessary to pursue females.
Anita watched Edmund punch Senna again and again. Seeing Senna's face covered in blood, she quickly reached out to grab Edmund and whispered:
"Edmund, don't be impulsive. He's the city lord, powerful, and well-connected. We still have to proceed with caution. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon can't defeat a local snake. Even if you're very capable, when you arrive in an unfamiliar place, you have to build good relationships with the local powerful people first. Senna has deep roots here, so he won't be easy to deal with."
Edmund said in a low voice, "Miss Anrita, he is just pretending to be pitiful in front of you. He does this because he knows you are kind-hearted."
Anrita thought about how she had stopped Viya from whipping Eugene. Senna must have known about it. Her action of protecting the male orc probably made Senna think that she was soft-hearted.
After thinking for a moment, Anita whispered, "It's just a simple counseling session, no big deal. Besides, we can take this opportunity to ask for some compensation."
After all, this is not a deep-level counseling, and it does not require physical contact, so there is not much risk for her.
Besides, they were in urgent need of energy stones. With this in mind, Anita walked up to Senna. Senna's mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were bruised. But he still knelt on the ground, looking up at Anita, his eyes filled with obsession and desire. "Great little female, please have mercy on me."
Anita nodded: "I can help you vent this once, but I have a condition."
Edmund frowned and clenched his fists unconsciously.
Although he knew it was just simple counseling, and when he was in the White Tower, females had exclusive IDs and male orcs in the army could apply for counseling online, Anrita must have done it for many people.
But seeing her venting for an outsider with his own eyes, he still felt jealous, and his male possessiveness was fully revealed at this moment.
Senna was so excited that he wanted to hold Anita's hand and kiss it: "Dear little female, just make your request, I will do my best to satisfy you!"
Anrita said bluntly: "I want a lot of energy stones."
She was stranded here, and the escape pod she was riding in was damaged and unusable.
She wanted to ask Edmund if they could buy a small flying ship so that they could leave here and return to the main planet.
But any flying ship needs a large amount of energy stones to start up, which is what they lack most at the moment.
Senna understood immediately and nodded without hesitation, "No problem! I'll have someone deliver it to you right away!"
After that, he returned to the escort team and gave a few instructions. One of the team members drove the truck towards the inner city. Seeing Senna so straightforward, Anrita was no longer nervous.
She saw that Senna's face was still bleeding, hesitated for a moment, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Wipe it."
Senna was flattered and quickly took the handkerchief, thanking her profusely. His gaze towards Anita grew increasingly fiery. He had met very few females in his life, and Via was a woman he had bought from a space pirate. This was the first time he had encountered a woman as gentle and kind as Anita.
Soon, Senna sent a truckload of energy stones. True to her promise, Anrita used her mental power to help him channel his energy.
Although it was just a simple operation, it lifted Senna's spirits and his entire spiritual sea became much more refreshed.
When Eugene, Charlie and Gal came back, they saw from afar a group of inner city guards moving things to the evacuation center.
Charlie's face darkened. "Why are people from the inner city here?" Eugene's face wasn't looking good either. "Viya came to trouble me this morning, but was stopped by Anrita. I guess Senna heard about Anrita, so he came here."
Charlie was anxious: "Oh no, we have to change places quickly, we can't stay here anymore."
Now someone in the empire wants to kill Crown Prince Begway. Begway is completely out of control, and their out-of-control values are also high. This is a good time for the enemy to hunt them down, and the other party will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Senna's arrival this time was too ostentatious, and their whereabouts might have been exposed.
Eugene made a quick decision: "Then we need to act quickly."
Gar was worried: "But what about Valua? And the black bear doesn't obey my orders at all. How can I take it away?"
The three of them were silent for a moment, and took advantage of the night to go around to the woods behind the diversion center. They waited until Senna's team left before returning to the diversion center.
As soon as they got back, they told Anita and the others that they were moving out. Anita blamed herself: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that I got you into trouble."
If she hadn't arrived, Valua might not have lost control and turned into a lion in search of advanced nutrient solution, and Senna would not have discovered this place.
Eugene held Anrita in his arms with a distressed look on his face, and gently consoled her, "Miss Anrita, please don't think that. It's because of you that the Crown Prince's out-of-control state has been resolved, and his mind has stabilized."
Gar also hurriedly said: "Yes, if you hadn't come, His Royal Highness's situation would be even worse, and we wouldn't have the energy to move."
They moved quickly and without delay. With Amrita's comfort, the black bear stabilized and was willing to leave with the others.
On the other side, Senna had just returned to the inner city and ordered his men: "Go find Anthony and have him come to see me in person."
Anthony is the deputy leader of the largest pirate group, and he will do anything for money.
Some time ago, he received a new mission to find the trace of Prince Begwei near the garbage planet and kill him, but after searching for more than a month, he found nothing.
Senna's eyes narrowed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing across them. His men reminded him, "City Lord, if Anthony knew about the little female, I'm afraid we wouldn't have a chance."
The pirate group also lacks females. The leader already has a partner, but Anthony is in his prime. It is said that his mental power is as high as S level and his strength is extremely strong, but he has never had an exclusive female.
The subordinate whispered, "Anthony doesn't have a partner yet. If he finds that little female..."
Senna sneered, "Anthony? Impossible. I've asked around privately, and he hates women. He can't even stand physical contact with them. Some say he likes men."
The subordinates were shocked: "So that's how it is!"
No wonder Anthony, with his strength, has no females around him.
Senna sneered: "Don't worry about whether they are related to the prince or not. S-level Anthony will definitely be able to deal with them. When the time comes, we will spend money to buy the little female back. Anthony has always been short of energy stones, and he will agree."
