"Welcome back, Lord Jia Yan!" As Jia Yan’s Anli Bai spaceship descended onto the Kuditian’s Camp-Level Spaceship, his figure, now several times larger than before, had just appeared outside the hatch when Harrora’s voice began to rise. Jia Yan saw a line of Kuditians standing outside the Camp-Level Spaceship, their expressions respectful as they welcomed him. After seeing so many monsters, the sight of the Kuditians, who resembled Earth people, lifted Jia Yan’s spirits. "How has the fleet been in my absence? You all don’t seem to be doing too well. Where’s Souwu?" Jia Yan approached the Kuditians and did not see the old Cosmic level monster, which he found quite strange. "Uh, Lord, Lord Souwu seems to have fallen seriously ill and has been staying in his room during this period. Without his assistance, we are not even comparable to a third-rate force in this region. If it weren’t for Lord Kama’s extraordinary battleship piloting skills, we might have all perished by now!" Harrora replied with a hint of fear in his expression. "Oh, so old Souwu is having problems?" said Jia Yan, feeling surprised. But then again, it made sense—if the other party didn’t have issues with his lifespan, he wouldn’t have gone mad. It was always possible for something to go wrong, so it wasn’t strange that problems had arisen after he left. "Alright, take me to see Souwu, and tell me about the forces that made a move against you. We’re about to embark on a long journey soon, so they’ll provide a nice supply of resources for the trip." Jia Yan’s voice was calm, as if these forces were mere supply points to him. "Uh." Harrora was briefly taken aback, then gave a light smile, and the other Kuditians also wore a hint of a smile, understanding what Jia Yan meant. They were going to intimidate those Star Thief Forces that had attacked their fleet. Now Jia Yan was at the level of the Strong Ones, and not just any minor Star Thief in these remote areas, but even the top ten Strong Ones forces in the Central Desolate Star System were wary of him, let alone the smaller forces. The Kuditians sported malicious grins on their faces. With Jia Yan’s return, they found the feeling they had in the past six months: Jia Yan had led them acquiring resources in less than honorable ways. Now, by saying this, he was simply returning to how things had been. There, Kama was already leading a few Kuditian warriors towards the Star Thief Battleship. She was piloting just one battleship, yet she charged at opponents many times her number, which seemed like a lamb entering the lion’s den. But those lions did not dare lay a paw on the tempting little lamb before them, for behind this lamb lurked a far more terrifying monster! Everyone knew that although Jia Yan had retracted his Brainwave Power, he was still closely observing the situation. If those star thieves dared to resist, death awaited them. "Hehe, this battleship performs quite well. It looks tough, but I don’t like the paint job. I’ll have it painted pink when we get back." Kama was delighted as she took over the battleship, and the Kuditians arranged one Simple Battleship after another. Despite having a lapse during their time in Tianlong Star, these Kuditians, all highly educated, were proficient operators and had no trouble piloting these Simple Battleships. Kama’s words nearly made the star thieves who cherished their battleships spew blood. To them, their battleships were as dear as comrades—essential for their livelihood—yet Kama spoke of painting them pink, almost goading the star thieves to fight her in desperation, driving them to actually want to attack the Kuditians. However, the terrifying fluctuations lingering in the space occasionally spread over their bodies, instantly robbing them of their will to resist. Since the battleships had been taken over by the Kuditians and were no longer theirs, whatever Kama did with them was no longer their concern. Better to save their necks and not fight! Finding the star thieves so spineless, Kama quickly lost interest and hurried the process. With extra time, she preferred to make more of an impression in front of that insurmountably strong Big Boss Jia Yan—perhaps even redeem a bit of the distance between them! With increased haste, one battleship after another was gradually handed over to the Kuditians. But with the Kuditians now piloting the ships, their numbers within the Camp-Level Spaceship grew even thinner. "Ah, Big Boss Jia Yan, I see you again, Kama is so happy!" When Kama finished acquiring the last battleship and returned to the Camp-Level Spaceship, this was her first exclamation. "Don’t speak." Harrora disdained Kama’s transformation; after all, wasn’t this the same woman who had always been indifferent to Lord Jia Yan? He issued a cautioning voice to the exuberant Kama. Kama didn’t see Jia Yan because he had entered Souwu’s room and had not reappeared. That was why Harrora had warned her to be quiet—since Jia Yan was visiting Souwu. Inside the private room belonging to Souwu. This place was more an open area than a room, lacking any typical features of a room. Entering this place, Jia Yan saw the old monster sprawled on the ground, looking somewhat sickly.
