The Legendary Mechanic

Somewhere in the Sea of Star Spirits, a large starship was slowly sailing through the universe.

In the beautifully decorated captain's room, Carlozzo lazily leaned against the soft and comfortable captain's chair, legs overlapping on the table, one arm slumped on the armrest, carrying a bottle of expensive refined liquor, is letting its inertia swing, while his mouth is holding a thick cigar, burning blue smoke, in front of him hovered a virtual screen, is playing an entertainment program.

The first thing that you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the situation, and that you have a good understanding of the situation," he said.

The outward appearance looks very coarse and bold, but his dress is a exquisite workmanship complicated nobleman-style dress, seems carefully ironed, not many wrinkles, on his head wearing a nobleman-style small round hat, covering the sparse messy yellow hair, only a few locks of hair from the hat seam hanging down, the contrast is strong.

The population trade is mostly attached to the interstellar black market, but has a separate ecology, creating a hidden chain of trade. Because the trade is not fit to see the light of day, any population seller of some size rarely acts in the name of an organization, usually giving themselves a codename to befriend customers on an individual basis, forming a trade network linked by their street identity.

He has been in the business for many years and has an excellent track record. His business has even spanned several star clusters, making him the population trading giant of the Sea of Stars.

"Gooooo ......"

Carlozzo took a sip of wine, the bright red liquid flowing from his lips and sliding along his jaw, ignoring the playful sounds of his men outside the cabin.

At that moment, an encrypted communication interface suddenly popped up on the virtual screen, and a number labeled "Buyer 178" called up.

Carlozzo's eyes flickered, paused the program and answered the call.

A shadow with no specific appearance appeared on the screen, and gave a series of coded numbers of secret codes, to which Carlozzo also replied with a series of numbers, and made a few cuts to confirm their identities.

After matching the secret codes, buyer 178 opened the door to.

"Lord, did you get the goods I ordered last time?"

Carlozzo took out a notebook and flipped through it, saying, "Sorry, we haven't gotten any yet."

"How long has this been going on? It's just a batch of silver spirits, your efficiency in the past wasn't that slow, and my master is already tired of waiting." Buyer 178 sounded dissatisfied.

Carlozzo shook his head, "The environment is different now, as you know, due to that war, the entire universe has been under martial law and control for the last two or three years, a large number of communities have concentrated in the Central Star Sea for refuge, our business has dropped sharply by ninety percent, and it's not as easy to get goods nowadays as it used to be."

There had always been a thriving black market for the population hidden beneath the deep seas of interstellar society, but with the outbreak of the World Tree War, the industry fell into winter.

Generally speaking, the war should be able to promote population trade, but currently the war had not broken out on the mainland, and the three major civilizations had imposed oppressive controls on the star domains in preparation for the war, and a large number of populations had taken refuge in concentrated areas, and the circulation of interstellar citizens had plummeted, which amounted to cutting off the supply of goods for many population traffickers.

Most of the people traffickers apprehended were ordinary interstellar citizens, usually stranded star travelers, or pitched to kidnap travelers, or directly purchased captives from star pirates, they rarely attacked passing ships at random, much less landed on a civilization's colonial planet to arrest people en masse, they did not have such an armed force.

Due to the control of the three major civilizations, Carlozzo hadn't opened "purchase" for a long time, and now this business was getting harder and harder to do.

"Although I can't get silver spirits here, there are some other goods, would you like to see the list?" Carlozzo asked.

"Forget it, I'll find someone else."

Buyer 178 went offline.

Carlozzo trailed off, unconcerned.

The deal had fallen through, but he didn't feel sorry at all.

Because of the war, Carlozzo had made up his mind to stop buying goods and just wanted to empty his inventory and get out of the business with a pot of gold.

As for whether or not he could safely close up and leave the market, Carlozzo wasn't worried.

Long-running population sellers have a set of survival rules, paying attention to identity confidentiality, most of the time only do business with regular customers and maintain good contacts with some armed groups, and even some powerful customers can facilitate them, so in order to make a living in the road ...... as long as they always keep a low profile, do not expose and do not provoke big names, then No one would care about them, and it was actually safe to exit the show after making a fortune.

Carrozzo turned off the communication interface and continued to change the channel, casually scratching through a show, but his mind wasn't on it, immersed in the excitement of looking ahead.

"When this inventory is cleared, I'll be able to retire ......"

Carlozzo was in a comfortable mood.

The money he had earned over the years was enough to be dashing for a few lifetimes, and as long as he managed to retire to shore, he would be able to change his ways and enjoy life with the wealth he had saved. There were so many examples of this in this industry that it could be said to be every population seller's dream, and likewise Carlozzo's goal.

The thought of a better life finally beckoning to him after all these years of toil makes Carlozzo's heart soar.

But just then, he switched to a news station in passing, broadcasting footage of the convention held by the Black Star.

Kalozo had also followed the events of the recent invitation, and couldn't help but stop with a ghostly glance.

Soon, his eyes widened more and more, his body trembled involuntarily, and intense fear gradually covered his face, chilling him through the marrow of his bones and cold sweat.

Watching the countless powers in the picture responding to Han Xiao's call, at this moment, Carlozzo panicked, his mind blank, and unconsciously surfaced the words he had once sneered at ......

You've got to pay your debt!

Crackle...

The many men who were shouting and playing cards in the cabin suddenly heard the frequent sounds of falling things from the captain's cabin, and just by hearing the noise, the people could almost imagine hysteria, as if they were trapped in a desperate trap.

......

Endless Nebula, an interstellar free city.

A luxurious residence villa is located in a pleasant scenic area, surrounded by lush green forests, clear lake adjacent, in the artificially transformed interstellar city exists such a special area, it is obvious that the people who live here are very powerful.

A man in a night robe sat on a sofa in an expansive living room, with several female creatures of elven blood lying on the ground beside him, their heads bowed, their jaws next to the ground, collars tied around their necks, and leashes tied to the side of the pillars, as if they were kept pets.

In front of several people was a large virtual screen, playing a program, and the man ate his breakfast while looking up at the screen, occasionally stroking his fingertips across the bowed, purple bruised back of the elven female next to him, as if he was simply petting a pet.

The elven woman subconsciously shrank, but her eyes were a pool of dead water, without any fluctuation, staring at the virtual screen in front of her, like a walking corpse whose soul had been removed.

Just then, the man in the sleeping robe changed the channel and saw the news recording of the Black Star Conference.

After watching it for a while, he sneered, full of unconcern.

"This Black Star, he's been farting around all day long, he's panicked that he should go fight foreign enemies, that's his duty, worrying about the population trade is what's going on, what does he care, really think he's the leader of the interstellar society? Bah, what the hell."

As the words fell, the bodies of several elven women who were lying on the ground trembled, their dead eyes suddenly regaining a little bit of radiance.

Ever since they had been captured by human traffickers and sold as slaves, their lives had been nothing but deep darkness, like stagnant water with no hope in sight, thinking that the rest of their lives would be like this.

But at this moment, the black star was like the dawn that pierced through the darkness, suddenly shining into their desperate hearts, piercing their numb hearts and awakening their broken personalities.

Several people stared blankly up at the black star on the screen, and couldn't help but feel hope in their hearts.

Will someone really come to save us? ......

But then, the man in the sleeping robe noticed the look in the eyes of several pets, and his eyebrows knitted together.

"Well? What's that look in your eyes?"

Saying that, the sleeping robed man glanced at the black star on the screen again, and with a sudden surge of anger, he picked up a short, charged pronged whip from the side and flung it out with a crackling hollow sound.

"Looks like I haven't disciplined you enough, are you still thinking of escaping? What, you read a news story and think that black star can save you guys? Go ahead, keep an eye on him and see if he can save you now."

Several Elven women were scared stiff and trembling on the ground, but they didn't dare to hide or even open their mouths to beg for mercy - without the man's permission, if they, their "pets", opened their mouths, they would only be subjected to even worse torture.

The man in the night robe looked gloomy and raised his whip to strike.

But at that moment, the door to the mansion burst open!

BOOM!!!

Debris splattered and wall ash filled the sky.

The sleeping-robed man was shocked and hurriedly turned to look, only to see a group of people walking in, wearing familiar uniforms, but it was the security patrol of this interstellar metropolis.

Seeing the visitors clearly, the sleeping robed man immediately relaxed, followed by a shocking rage and roared.

"What are you doing?! Trespassing in my house, looking for death?!"

The law and order captain stepped out, displaying the electronic arrest warrant, and said coldly, "Your Excellency Anhuso, we have received a reliable tip that you have broken the law by keeping interstellar citizens as pets, please come with us."

The man in the sleeping robe stared, looking incredulous, and pointed at himself in amazement, "Arresting me for this small matter? Do you know who I am?"

"You are in violation of the Interstellar General Law's population trade ban." The law and order captain was grim.

"Arrest me, can you afford the responsibility, and go back and ask the lord of your free planet if he doesn't want his planet-run franchise?"

The man in the sleeping robe only felt absurd, crowing and laughing.

With his background, this kind of charge was a joke, how many interstellar species had he kept as pets, no one had ever dared to hold him accountable for such a charge.

He didn't think that a lowly vigilante of this status would dare to call himself out on it, and he normally wasn't even qualified to talk to him.

"Please cooperate with our law enforcement." The small security captain frowned.

"What is your vigilante number? Do you believe I'll strip you of this dress tomorrow?!" The man in the sleeping robe was so angry that he laughed back, stepped forward and chopped at the small captain's clothes, looking down to see the number on his nametag.

The small captain of law and order was rude and pushed the sleeping robed man away, saying in a deep voice, "If you continue to resist arrest, we will take violent measures."

The man in the sleeping robe staggered as he was pushed and stared incredulously, as if he didn't expect the man in front of him to dare to do anything to him.

His look was incomparably gloomy as he picked up the communicator from the table, dialed the number of the lord of this planet's metropolis, reached out and nudged the small security captain, and said angrily, "Fine, just wait here, I'll see who can take me away today!"

Soon, the communication was connected.

"Yo, if it isn't His Excellency Anhuso, why do you suddenly have the leisure to look for me?" The planet lord's figure appeared on the screen, all polite and smiling.

The man in the sleeping robe immediately took his anger out on the planet lord and sneered, "Fine, your people have grown skillful now, they dare to break into my house, to arrest me, and even to do it, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, your planet management franchise will be null and void!"

"Geez, what's all this anger about?" The planet lord was appalled.

"Heh, ask your people."

The sleep robed man shoved the communicator directly at the small security captain and took two steps back, looking like he was watching a good show.

The small captain of law and order, undeterred, picked up the communicator and reported what had just happened, and showed a few elven women.

The planet lord listened and faded out.

"So that's how ...... this security squad leader, what's your name?"

"Bell." The law and order squad leader replied calmly.

"Is the tip reliable?"

"The human and physical evidence is there."

At the words, the planet lord nodded, slowly.

"Then what are you waiting for, arrest this guy, and if he resists arrest, don't bring him back, just shoot him on the spot."

The words trailed off and the man in the sleeping robe was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

Shouldn't the normal situation be to order this group of vigilantes to retreat and then fire this group of people used to quell his anger, it was always like this before, why was it different today?

"What do you mean?" The robed man was startled.

The planet lord shrugged, "I should have expressed it correctly, you broke the law, so naturally you'll be arrested."

"...... are you insane?" The man in the sleeping robe stared at me, "Have you forgotten who I am?"

"I know you come from a very big, very background ......" the planet lord suddenly changed his words and stopped pretending, his tone sank, "but so what, it is His Excellency's will that no population trade be allowed, we are working for the Blackstar Work, who do you think you are?"

"You ......"

The man in the sleeping robe stayed still, trembling all over.

It wasn't fear, but uncontrollable anger.

No one had ever dared to speak to him like that since he was born!

However, before he could spill his rage, Bell suddenly drew his firearm and pulled the trigger without saying a word.

Boom!

A laser flashed, and the sleeping man's head exploded open, spilling charred flesh and blood all over the floor.

The headless corpse seemed to be stunned on the spot, shaking twice before slamming to the ground, the nerves that were not dead, still driving the body to twitch slightly.

Seeing this, the Planet Lord revealed an inexplicable smile.

Where would a security team have acted boldly without his underhanded authorization.

"This man has repeatedly resisted arrest, and our team received orders from our superiors to grant permission to kill him on the spot!"

Bell put the gun away coldly and swept a glance at the headless corpse, scowl in his eyes.

"Bah, scum."

......

It had been several days since the countless powers had taken a stand at the conference held at the Black Star, and the chain reaction caused by this conference had begun to show.

Half of the interstellar society's resources had almost been leveraged by Han Xiao, and the powers of the various star domains followed the consensus of the conference and began to clear their territories of population trade.

The Super A-grade association held the interstellar black market and started directly from the core, dragging out a population trade channel, uprooting it and reaping wide results.

And it wasn't just the participating forces, other forces that weren't present also joined in together to join in the festivities.

They weren't all taking care of Han Xiao's face, but seeing that so many large powers had responded, some of the smaller powers attempted to take the opportunity to take advantage of the joint fight against the population trade and have a reason to connect with the large local powers.

The universe-wide population trade removal operation was in full swing, and with the collaboration of a large number of forces, a number of slaves were rescued, a group of population traffickers were killed, a buyer was arrested, and population sellers who had retired to shore were also re-hunted by intelligence services to track their true identities through their black market connections.

The feast of so many forces working together was a rare sight, as if it was a machine running efficiently, and each day's efficiency made countless interstellar citizens marvel at the appeal of the Black Star Terror as much as anything else.

The relevant information naturally reached the ears of the many natural disasters in the training base as well.

Training base, dormitory lounge.

The virtual screen broadcasted the results of an area's crackdown on human trade, and Jordina gazed at the image with a strange color in her eyes.

"You actually have the same dream as me ......"

Jotina's fists were clenched and she was overwhelmed with excitement.

As a child of the Beast Ancestor, she abhorred the population trade, and ending the entire universe was a dream she had hidden in her heart and never told anyone.

But she hadn't expected Blackstar to share the same thoughts, the same aspirations, as her!

The difference was that to himself, it was just an unreachable dream, but to Black Star, it was a goal within reach.

"Black Star ...... We really are destined mates!"

Jordina was breathing heavily, her heart fluttering, and right now she just wanted to give Black Star a litter of monkeys.

For decades, her admiration for Han Xiao had always been the same, and now it was even stronger.

Rumors had been saying that Black Star and Dragon Constellation were a couple, but so what, I won't give up!

So what if the Dragon Throne is Super-A, I'll be able to compete on equal footing with you when I try to step into that level!

Jotina's eyes lit up with an incomparable fighting spirit, as bright as a star erupting.

"Black Star, wait for me! The Dragon Throne doesn't deserve you, and I'll take you from her!"
