Chapter 29: First contact
"Stop! Hands up!" said a B-1 Battle Droid.
Then more B-1 Battle Droids surrounded their ship, with hundreds of E-5 blasters pointed at their heads.
Tang Xiao and the others immediately raised their hands without any intention of resisting.
But then, some B-1 Battle Droids came over with fuel trucks and engineering trucks, and began to refuel the two spaceships, repair the hulls, and even the bodies of the mercenaries on the Aurore-class cargo ship were carried away. Get rid of it, and even wipe the brain-splattered console.
Then, a Muun man in a black cloak came over under the guard of two Guard Droids. He wore a mechanical mask on his mouth, two tubes connected to the airway were wriggling rhythmically, and he was holding a cane in his hand.
It has to be said that in Tang Xiao's perception, this person's dress is similar to that of the mage in Dungeon and Dragons. But at this moment, he was not in the mood to complain, but just lowered his head and tried not to let himself be noticed.
The person who came was their employer - King Hego Damask II.
"Mr Hego, this is what you want." Trent bowed his head very respectfully and presented the memory card.
"Very good, your performance is beyond my expectations. I thought the winner would be that Falin man, Rosas Leon." Hego waved his hand lightly, and a guard next to him The Droid took a step forward, took the memory, and handed it to him.
Hego didn't check the memory immediately, but just put the things back in his pocket and waved his hand again. Another B-1 droid walked over holding a money bag.
"This is your reward, 100,000, Republic credits." He Ge reported an astonishing figure indifferently.
You must know that in the black market, the ratio of Republic credits to Wupiwupi coins is about 1:0.6. These 100,000 credits can even directly buy a good spaceship!
"This... the price we originally negotiated was only 20,000 Wupis." Trent was not at all tempted by this extra income. You must know that cannibalism makes people weak, and taking more money means doing more things.
"That's just the price you negotiated with Rosas, not the price I gave." Hego said lightly, "Accept it, you deserve it. You can break through the siege of Mygeeto and also prove that you are better than Rosas, this is your reward. What I want to say is that I will never begrudge rewards to those who work for me."
"So, that Farin woman named Rosas is just an abandoned son of yours, and she still wants to snatch what we have." Trent pouted towards the side.
Over there, two B-1 battle droids were lifting Rosas's body, preparing to throw her into space.
"I like to be prepared with both hands when doing things, and I prefer to deal with smart people. I hope you are such a smart person, so you'd better not refuse." He Ge said, with an undoubted tone in his tone majesty.
Trent had no choice but to nod, and took the heavy money bag.
"Very good, we are friends now. Take your rewards and find a place to enjoy yourself. I will look for you again." After He Ge finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, he felt something in his heart, turned around abruptly, and his eyes locked on Tang Xiao who was shrinking behind!
Tang Xiao also felt this, he raised his head, and inadvertently met He Ge's eyes. At this moment, he felt as if he was being swallowed by a boundless black hole!
Nothing to hide!
There is no escape!
But this feeling only lasted for a moment and then disappeared, as if nothing had happened, He Ge's interested eyes appeared in front of his eyes.
He looked Tang Xiao up and down, and burst out laughing suddenly, "Hahahahaha!! Interesting. Hahahaha... You guys, it's really interesting... Hahahahaha..."
Laughing, Hei Ge turned and left, leaving only his laughter echoing in the hangar.
"You can leave now. Oh no, you must leave immediately." A B-1 Battle Droid said in a rigid and cute voice.
Trent glanced at Tang Xiao who was covered in cold sweat and said, "Let's go."
Kunto and Spade went to the YV-865 Aurore-class cargo ship, while Trent and Tang Xiao returned to the YT-1000 light cargo ship.
Driving the spacecraft away from the hangar of the Munificent-class frigate, a moment later, the Munificent-class frigate started its engine, and then instantly disappeared into hyperspace. Tang Xiao, who had been tense all the time, let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed on the seat.
There is no doubt that Hego Damask II, one of the largest and deepest darknesses in this galaxy, has already set his sights on him.
No matter from which point of view, this is not good news.
Trent went to the cargo hold and found that Camid, who was sealed in the carbon clot, was still hidden under the cargo. Those B-1 Battle Droids did not find him when they came up to clean up the spacecraft.
That's when Quinto texted, "Well, boss. Where should we go now?"
"You are free. Go back to the Endor galaxy to pick up your companions, and then you can go anywhere." Tang Xiao said suddenly.
"Wait a minute boss, you mean..." Quinto still didn't respond.
"Literally, you are free." Tang Xiao said, "You were originally imprisoned by us because you broke into the Dawn Star Planet, and now I let you go."
There was silence on Kunto's side, and he said after a long time: "Actually, what you said before is correct. I only dare to do some simple jobs, deliver some goods and so on. I can't make much money at all. I can only It's just dawdling. It's true that I didn't earn this spaceship. It belonged to my boss. Because of a smuggling operation, he was killed by pirates, so I inherited this ship..."
He paused for a while and continued: "You and Mr Trent are both capable people. I have never seen such an excellent pilot as Trent, nor have I seen a person with magical power like you. This trip The income of 100,000 credits is enough for me to work hard for three years. So... I want to hang out with you, boss."
"You continue to run the safer smuggling, maybe you can live to be 60 years old. But if you follow us, you may die tomorrow." Trent said next to him.
"But I'll also earn more than I can spend in my lifetime, you can, right? Boss," Quinto said.
A smile appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "That's right, you will earn money that you couldn't even imagine before."
"That's it, tell us the next goal, boss!"
"Go back to Dawn."
"Clear!"
