The words of Old Horse shocked everyone. Jufeng, after all, had spent eight years on Earth and knew little about the happenings on Magellanic Star. He only understood that Wen Yun was undoubtedly the foremost figure in the music world, but he was unaware of other aspects of her life.
Jufeng turned to Old Horse, causing the latter to flinch.
Old Horse struggled to recall anything about Wen Yun and suddenly remembered something after a moment.
“A while ago, the second young master of Universal Energy Corporation did attend a concert by Third Sister. Afterwards, he expressed a desire to invite Third Sister to dinner, but she politely declined. This second young master from Universal Energy Corporation is nothing but a good-for-nothing playboy. The boss was worried that he would act recklessly due to his family's wealth, so he increased the security around Third Sister. How could he suddenly have been captured?”
Old Horse often roamed outside, so he couldn't speak definitively about the current situation on Magellanic Star; he could only share some clues with Jufeng based on previous information.
Upon hearing this, Jufeng felt he had some understanding of the situation. The root cause seemed to be lustful intentions. However, Universal Energy Corporation was the second strongest enterprise in Cosmos and a loyal ally of Huankezhao. Could this incident also be aimed at him?
“There’s no time to waste; we must set off immediately.”
Dragging his injured body, Jufeng hurried back to Magellanic Star while Delta Star was still frantically pursuing him. The city was on high alert, with tension in the air.
After boarding a cargo aircraft, Jufeng successfully landed on Magellanic Star. As he gazed at the familiar scenery, he felt no joy whatsoever.
Because soon, he would have to face his enemies—who possessed such strength that they could shoot him in the shoulder with one bullet? Previously they had been operating in shadows and light, but soon they would confront each other directly.
Regaining his composure, Jufeng quickly left the interstellar transfer station accompanied by Chen Tan Hua and Old Horse.
However, just as they were walking steadily, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and collided with Old Horse, causing him to stumble.
Yet after the collision, the person said nothing and quickly walked away, wearing a baseball cap and moving with haste.
"Is this person too reckless? They bump into someone and don't even react. Are they made of wood?"
Old Horse rubbed his aching shoulder, watching the figure disappear into the distance, feeling quite indignant.
Chen Tan Hua and Jufeng turned to look as well, both startled. This person truly had remarkable speed, managing to collide with Old Horse even while the two of them were nearby. Their ability to conceal their presence had reached an extraordinary level.
However, as they glanced back, Jufeng and Chen Tan Hua inadvertently caught sight of another figure leaving in a flustered manner.
A heavy feeling settled in Chen Tan Hua's heart as he said to Jufeng, "Did you see that? It seems we've been targeted; it must be Huankezhao's people."
Jufeng nodded, arriving at the same conclusion as Chen Tan Hua. Yet his thoughts lingered on the figure that had deliberately bumped into Old Horse; for some reason, it felt oddly familiar.
Shaking his head, Jufeng decided not to dwell on it any longer. Since they had coincidentally discovered Huankezhao's spy, it meant that their return to Magellanic Star had already been revealed to the enemy. Thus, the time left for them to prepare was even more limited.
"We need to go. From now on, we must be extremely vigilant in all our actions. Huankezhao has completely set their sights on us; we cannot afford any mistakes."
Old Horse was taken aback by this and nodded heavily in agreement.
In a mysterious and beautiful estate located in the most prosperous city of Magellanic Star, it felt like a paradise, entirely different from the city's hustle and bustle.
Tony stood with his hands clasped behind his back, positioned behind Shangguan Wangyu. In front of them was a large swimming pool where five graceful women in bikinis were frolicking. In the pool swam a man with a perfectly toned physique.
"Your Highness, Jufeng has returned. However, our people at the interstellar transfer station have also been discovered by him."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wangyu abruptly halted his hand that was shaking a bottle of century-old liquor in mid-air, and the atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive.
Tony stood behind Shangguan Wangyu, not daring to make a sound. The laughter of the women nearby became even clearer in the tense atmosphere.
After a moment, Shangguan Wangyu suddenly laughed and said slowly, "How should Hear the Command explain this to me? After giving him so many resources, he still let Jufeng return alive from Delta Star. What a waste!"
"Should I notify Wen Commander now? He is still out there searching," Tony tentatively asked.
Shangguan Wangyu shook his head and coldly replied, "Since he is so arrogant, let him flail around like a headless chicken and see how long it takes for him to come to his senses."
Tony fell silent at this, standing quietly behind.
Before long, a man emerged from the pool, his body devoid of any excess fat, perfectly sculpted, causing the nearby beauties to scream in admiration.
He took a towel handed to him by an alluring woman, wiped his hair, draped it over himself, and sat down next to Shangguan Wangyu.
"The news just came back that Jufeng has returned to Magellanic Star," the man said.
As he spoke, Shangguan Wangyu's tone softened considerably; it was no longer that of a superior addressing a subordinate but rather that of a friend.
The man with a droplet of water glistening on Liu Hai's forehead said expressionlessly, "I knew it all along. Someone who can make civilizations willingly submit—Hear the Command is not capable of keeping him. In the end, you will have to take action yourself; overconfidence is dangerous."
His words suggested familiarity with civilizations but carried an undertone of cold ruthlessness, indicating he was not truly a friend.
Shangguan Wangyu smiled lightly and teased, "I didn't expect you to hold your rival in such high regard. But it's been so long; why haven't you taken any action? Both of you are brothers pursuing the same women, yet your brother seems to be much more ruthless than you."
"Don't compare me to him. He treats women as toys; what's the difference between such a person and a beast? In the end, he will surely play with fire."
The man had a handsome demeanor, his features resolute, exuding a sense of integrity reminiscent of Ikeda Kenji.
Sitting alongside Shangguan Wangyu, the prince of Huankezhao and the absolute ruler of the Large Magellanic Cloud, it was evident that this man was not to be underestimated.
His half-brother had just kidnapped Wen Yun, which filled him with shame. He promptly informed his family; he could overlook many things, but if any harm came to the woman or if she met an untimely death, he would ensure his brother paid with his life.
He admired Wen Yun's music, but he was even more fond of her sister, Jiang Xue, the most renowned researcher in Huankezhao.
His surname was Cao, making him another prince second only to Shangguan Wangyu.
Cao Ke, the absolute heir of Universal Energy Corporation.
