“Captain Ye, since we are on the same side, there’s no reason for us to hide anything from you. As for Mr. Qin Guan, he is a close friend of the esteemed Yang Haixiong, so we certainly won’t deceive you.”
Long Ruofei smiled lightly, exuding an endless charm. The original air of confidence transformed into a gentle spring breeze with that smile, making her presence incredibly comforting.
“May I ask who you represent with that statement?” Qin Guan looked at Long Ruofei's exquisite face, his eyes holding a hint of teasing.
“Am I not qualified enough?” Seemingly sensing the playful glint in Qin Guan's gaze, Long Ruofei's expression turned slightly cold, causing the atmosphere to thicken.
Ye Yu's expression shifted subtly; this woman, who appeared easy to talk to, indeed had a temper. Especially after she had already revealed her identity, it was unacceptable for anyone to show her any disrespect.
“What is your relationship with the Dragon City Lord?” Ye Yu did not directly mention Long Yin Yue's name, but in this star domain, there was only one Dragon City Lord—Long Yin Yue.
“She's my younger sister!”
Long Ruofei had nothing to hide. When she piloted her mech out, she knew she could finally stop living under an alias.
“Well then, if she’s your younger sister, the Dragon City Lord surely wouldn’t deceive us,” Ye Yu said, glancing at Qin Guan while gesturing towards Long Ruofei.
“So what’s going on now? You’ve brought so many people just to deal with those Blue Marked People? Tsk tsk, even deploying Type 9 mechs; you really are willing to spend big.”
Qin Guan snorted coldly, his sarcasm evident on his face. He was Qin Guan and would not yield in the slightest just because the other party was Long Ruofei.
“That’s not contradictory. Your mission is to help deal with those five Blue Marked People while we naturally have other tasks!” Long Ruofei shrugged, and the atmosphere relaxed a bit.
Qin Guan squinted his eyes. Those who knew him well would understand that he was in a bad mood at that moment. Although the two of them had just escaped a life-threatening situation, it had been extremely dangerous, and the other party appeared so relaxed, clearly not taking their lives seriously. Naturally, Qin Guan was angry—not because he felt belittled, but because of the other party's attitude.
"Whoosh—"
A strong gust of wind swept by, and Qin Guan, who had been some distance away from Long Ruofei, suddenly appeared right in front of her. He was slightly taller than Ye Yu, and standing before Long Ruofei gave him a sense of looking down at her.
"What do you want to do?"
At that moment, a booming voice erupted from the motionless mech, followed by three mechs activating their Phase Guns, aiming directly at Qin Guan.
"What, do you want to kill me?" Qin Guan looked at Long Ruofei, his eyes filled with coldness. Long Ruofei's exquisite face seemed like just a stone before him; he showed no signs of pity.
Under Qin Guan's pressure, Long Ruofei appeared even more delicate, resembling a pitiful lamb as she looked up at him and asked, "Do you want to kill me?"
The meanings of their words were similar, but the aura they exuded was entirely different. Qin Guan carried an almost imperceptible killing intent, while Long Ruofei seemed unconcerned, even sporting a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.
"If someone is willing to pay to have you killed, I wouldn't mind taking the job!" Qin Guan spoke without regard for the three mechs nearby that were watching him closely.
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Guan's words fell, the three Type 9 Battle Mechs roared to life, almost instantly surrounding both him and Long Ruofei with immense pressure.
"Those who want to kill me have all been dealt with, or..." Long Ruofei paused. Her figure suddenly blurred and then she moved with incredible speed to appear behind Qin Guan.
Qin Guan suddenly felt a chill at his neck as a slender, pale hand rested on it. A faint feminine scent wafted between his nostrils, stirring his senses.
"To kill your sister, let's see if you have the ability," Long Ruofei whispered into Qin Guan's ear, her breath like orchids, sending a shiver through him as if he had been electrocuted.
At that moment, Qin Guan truly realized that this woman possessed extraordinary combat skills. Although her speed had not been so fast that he couldn't react, it felt as though an invisible force had restrained him in that instant, preventing him from intercepting Long Ruofei's movements.
Just then, a young woman with a stunning figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Spaceport. In just a few flashes, she reached Long Ruofei's side.
The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a ponytail and slightly chubby cheeks that had a faint rosy hue, resembling a finely crafted porcelain doll. However, her earlier display of skill indicated that she was far more than just cute.
"Boss, it's all taken care of. The other teams are clearing out the remaining personnel. It's just..." At this point, the ponytailed girl glanced curiously at Ye Yu and Qin Guan, clearly unsure where these two had come from and unable to disclose any confidential information.
"Don't worry; these two are on our side," Long Ruofei said, casting a glance at them, particularly at Ye Yu, her eyes filled with a teasing glint.
The ponytailed girl nodded and continued, "The Amethyst Society's President Mei Qinghua has gone missing. According to my investigation, he seems to have escaped from the other end of Withered Source Star, where there is a secret exit! I've already contacted Silver Dragon Star; they should be heading over to intercept Mei Qinghua soon.
Additionally, some of his subordinates were not present at Withered Source Star. It seems our intelligence was incorrect, and it will be difficult to capture them all right away! However, the intelligence team has started reanalyzing and organizing the information; we should have a new action plan by tonight!"
The ponytailed girl's words were concise and clear, outlining the general situation of the operation.
Long Ruofei nodded and said, "Everyone has put in a lot of effort this time. Once we return to Silver Dragon Star, each person will receive generous rewards! Of course, everyone will also get a share of the assets seized from the Amethyst Society." Long Ruofei looked around at the others with an air of leadership.
It was only then that Ye Yu began to see some of the truth: Long Yin Yue's true objective was indeed the Amethyst Society, the largest force in Underworld on Withered Source Star! Yet Ye Yu also vaguely understood that Withered Source Star had long been infiltrated by other factions of the Federation, which had been secretly vying for power. The fact that Silver Dragon Star dared to uproot the Amethyst Society so decisively meant that this matter would not simply end here!
