Dark Fox paused briefly, then nodded knowingly and closed his eyes to rest.
Alkaid is known as the most chaotic of the seven major stars, and it also lies at a remote distance from the capital star.
While there are governntal bodies and military forces there, they are fundantally unable to suppress so of the prevailing forces.
In these areas, the law of the jungle prevails.
If you are powerful enough, you can rule as king without anyone interfering.
The capital star and the remote planets have always maintained a delicate balance.
The top three planets enjoy nearly 80% of the entire league's resources and profits, while the remaining planets split the leftover 20%.
Of course, these ratings are rely superficial; the actual share each gets depends entirely on their strength!
The planet is divided into territories by various factions, each claiming their own slice.
However, they all tacitly agree to pay their taxes dutifully every year. Continue reading at m|v-l'e -
This is why, despite the capital's awareness of the chaos here, they have never sent forces to impose order.
Each place has its way of living, and as long as it doesn't impact their profits, they don't care.
But this place is also known as Chaos Star.
As the spaceship entered the docking port, John could already feel malevolent gazes fixed on them from outside.
The crew aboard the ship looked at them with a heightened sense of seriousness, saying nothing as they quickly ushered them off and shut the ship's door behind them.
"What's going on with them?" John asked, puzzled.
It almost seed as if they were being rushed off like harbingers of plague.
Dark Fox glanced at the people outside the port who kept watching them, then lowered his voice.
"This is the infamous Chaos Star. Although there's an unwritten rule here not to ss with the ships, there are always so who are bold enough."
"So people get robbed as soon as they disembark, and so are even targeted while they're still on the ship."
John looked at the people outside and noticed so eyes scanning the surroundings like lasers.
There weren't many passengers on their ship.
Besides the three of them, there were only about a dozen others.
One appeared to be a businessman accompanied by five or six bodyguards.
A few burly n imdiately took out the large swords they carried as they got off the ship, intimidating many onlookers.
Initially, so gazes were fixed on the burly man, but as soon as he brandished his large sword, those gazes swiftly shifted away.
Instead, more eyes began to focus on them.
John found it sowhat amusing—they were clearly being seen as easy targets.
Among those on the ship, the three of them did indeed stand out as particularly vulnerable.
Although there were two n and one woman, the n appeared only moderately muscular, far from being intimidating brutes.
The woman, cloaked in her mantle, seed especially delicate and fetching.
So people's gazes started to fix on Silver Tear, turning increasingly sinister.
After all, in Chaos Star, a beautiful woman was deed highly valuable.
"It looks like we've caught their attention," Silver Tear noted, clearly disgusted by the leering looks she was receiving.
Having spent many years in the Hidden Stars, she had experienced all manner of situations, but the malicious stares still made her skin crawl.
They had co to rescue their captain, so naturally, they preferred to avoid any conspicuous trouble.
After all, they were still unsure of the exact situation, and any misstep on their part could jeopardize their captain's safety.
"It's okay. If soone really insists on causing trouble, we wouldn't mind giving them a taste of their own dicine."
They were not the type to start conflicts, but if provoked, they wouldn't hesitate to respond.
Dark Fox also adjusted the hood of his cloak, a slight upward curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
If it were the captain here, they might really hesitate to make a move.
But with John, it was different.
They all knew John's temperant well: do not provoke, but if provoked, retaliate tenfold! If these people didn't strike first, all would be well, but if they did, not even gods could save them!
The trio walked out of the station together.
Once outside, they keenly felt the number of gazes on them increase, becoming more brazen.
John and his companions exchanged glances; though no words were spoken, they instantly understood each other's intentions.
After leaving the bustling area near the station, they turned into a small alley.
The people who had been following them exchanged looks and smiled satisfactorily.
They had been thinking that if these newcors didn't comply, it would take so effort to deal with them.
But unexpectedly, these newcors had willingly walked into a secluded alley, making any potential confrontation much more convenient for them.
John and his companions pretended to be oblivious, walking further into the alley which was sowhat secluded.
Although still relatively central, they hesitated, fearing these people might not make a move due to the bustling surroundings, where any violence could lead to arrest.
But, to their surprise, these folks were brazen enough to corner them in the alley!
One of them toyed with a revolver, appearing to be a gunsmith.
The others held either large swords or staves, their eyes brimming with malice.
"Looks like it's your first ti in Alkaid, brothers? If so, might you need a guide?" one sneered.
"This young lady looks pretty charming, how about she stays here and we show you around, let you have so fun?"
"There are plenty of places on our planet worth lingering over. Wanna co with us?"
As he spoke, his expression was nonchalant, his lips curled into a sinister smile.
"This place can be pretty chaotic, and I have so sway around here. Why don't you co with us first? We guarantee you'll feel right at ho."
The others couldn't help but chuckle, their eyes revealing ill intentions.
John gave Silver Tear an imperceptible nod, and she perfectly acted out a look of sheer terror.
"What do you want? We're here to find soone, not to play," she said, her voice trembling.
Her feigned fear only excited the n further; they grinned and took a few steps forward, almost completely encircling them.
"So, you're here to find soone? That's even better," the leader with bleached hair chuckled, his face contorting into a lewd smirk.
"I know everyone around here. Just play nice with , and I promise you'll have a great ti."
So of his companions, unable to contain their eagerness, stepped forward, their expressions twisted with excitent, their tone disgustingly sinister.
"Boss, let's just do it," one of them urged.
"Take the girl for so fun, and toss these two n into the underground city."
Their gazes upon John and Dark Fox shifted, hinting at darker intentions.
After all, this was Chaos Star.
So people have no reservations about gender.
Any man with delicate features thrown into the underground city would find favor with so bosses.
On this planet, everything can be commodified, including people.
