Colonial Suit

Man!?

In an instant, Xue Tong felt as if struck by lightning, utterly dumbfounded. Looking again at the unconscious Chris Vena on the ground, he could scarcely believe his eyes.

This guy… this Chris Vena, who radiated femininity from head to toe, beautiful and with a mysterious aura, was actually a man?

Damn it, he doesn't even have an Adam's apple!

“Hahahaha…” Hake's wild laughter rang in his ears, and Xue Tong finally snapped out of it, only to see Hake doubled over with laughter, nearly choking. After a long while, he barely managed to stop laughing, gasping for breath as he groaned, “I say… you didn't really think he was a woman, did you?”

“…………” Xue Tong was silent, but his gaze towards Hake was already somewhat tinged with anger. Hake then said with a smile, “Actually… it's not entirely accurate to say he's a man. This guy… is kind of genderless?”

“What do you mean?” Xue Tong asked, frowning.

“Chris Vena…” Hake leaned against a huge ice crystal, looking up at the sky. He seemed very lazy. “Isn't human. He's a Zick, a subhuman race with a genetic similarity to humans of about 70%. This race is handsome in appearance, and their combat power is very strong.

In terms of genetic optimization, they are three points stronger than humans. They once dominated the Fifth World. And the biggest feature of this race is that they are hermaphroditic. In other words, they can be men or women. When they reach the age of one hundred and twenty, their coming-of-age ceremony, they can choose their gender according to their preferences.”

“But Chris Vena is an exception.” Speaking of this, Hake paused, glanced at Chris Vena on the ground, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.

“It was when I first entered the Comet level that I received a suppression mission from the Fifth World to suppress a Zick rebellion on a human colony planet. But my shuttle malfunctioned. By the time I arrived, the planet had been occupied by the Zick, and the human colonists had almost been wiped out. The entire planet seemed to be burning in a sea of fire.”

“At that time, Chris Vena was lying in a burning house. That was the first time I saw him.”

“He looked terrible then, because he was born with a disability and could not complete the traditional Zick coming-of-age ceremony, nor could he freely change genders. So he was considered an oddity by the Zick on that planet. And this guy also had a fatal weakness besides his physical disability, which was that he was soft-hearted. During that rebellion, he protected a child because he couldn't stand the Zick slaughter, and was seriously injured by the Zick who were with him.”

“I saved him.” Speaking of this, Hake twitched the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I suppressed that planet and brought him to the mercenary branch. And then, he became a cosmic mercenary.”

“But no one expected that after he grew up little by little, one day he told me that he was in love with me…”

“…………” Xue Tong was silent for a while. He certainly knew how much trouble Hake was in. He believed that being entangled by such an androgynous guy was definitely not a good thing. Moreover, with Hake's love for beauty, it was even more difficult to accept this kind of androgynous love. No wonder he had such a bad temper.

“So what are you going to do now?” After a moment of silence, Xue Tong asked.

“What else can I do? Just throw him into the universe. Anyway, this guy has reached the Planetary level now, so it doesn't matter if he drifts in the universe for a year. And with his confused nature, I'm afraid he won't be able to pester me for a long time.” Hake shrugged his shoulders and said irresponsibly.

At the thought of the scene of Chris Vena, who was used to getting lost and had no intelligent brain, being thrown into the universe by Hake, Xue Tong couldn't help but shudder. “You're ruthless.”

Hake smiled, and sure enough, he grabbed Chris Vena and walked out of the planetary battlefield with Xue Tong. After returning to the floating castle, Hake went out for a walk, and when he came back, Chris Vena was gone. “I threw him into the Seventh World. I think I'll be relaxed for a long time.” Hake said to Xue Tong with a wicked smile. Xue Tong just rolled his eyes.

Are you too ruthless? Although Chris Vena is at the Planetary level, the Seventh World is a place where there isn't even an intelligent brain. Are you planning to keep him from ever coming back?

For a moment, Xue Tong was speechless towards Hake.

But after the battle between Hake and Chris Vena, the Romick family's war came to an end. Without the support of a Planetary level expert, the Seven Mist Group no longer had the confidence to contend with the Romick family. Of course, although this battle was important, it did not cause much sensation in the Fifth World because it took place on the planetary battlefield. When Carrie learned of the final result, she was also taken aback.

She never expected that in just one day, she and her family had walked back and forth on the edge of hell. The Seven Mist Group had actually found a Planetary level expert and descended upon Serraridon. If Hake hadn't been on Serraridon Planet, the Romick family would probably have been removed from the Fifth World.

Out of gratitude, Carrie naturally offered a huge reward again, but Hake refused. He just said lazily to Carrie, “These are meaningless to me. The reason I helped you was because of Xue Tong's request. But now that the mission is complete, the Romick family has nothing to do with me anymore.”

His attitude was firm and unrestrained, full of Hake's style, and then Hake mentioned that the war must end here. The Romick family must not further expand.

This was naturally very difficult for Carrie, who was determined to push the Romick family to the top family. To win this war, the Romick family had made huge sacrifices in the early stages of the war, losing three star fields alone, dozens of star gates were captured, and the loss of materials and manpower was countless. In addition to tens of thousands of warships, hundreds of millions of soldiers were killed in battle. Carrie would not be willing to accept such huge sacrifices without defeating the enemy.

But she also knew that the war had reached this point and was no longer just a matter for the Romick family. Because her counterattack was too sharp and her power expanded too quickly, it had already aroused the jealousy of many top families. If the Shuk family hadn't shared the pressure with her, the Romick family would have become the enemy of the world long ago. So no matter what, Carrie had to end this war as soon as possible and digest the resources gained from the war as quickly as possible.

Originally, with Hake's support, Carrie wanted to be greedy and swallow the Seven Mist Group in one bite. But it seemed impossible at the moment. Hake would not allow Carrie to disobey what he said.

Helpless, Carrie could only agree to Hake's request, sending a negotiation invitation to the Seven Mist Group to stop the war, and at the same time recalling the remaining two Death Stars.

Speaking of which, Carrie stopped in time. The two Death Stars were almost out of energy when they returned. Because the destruction of the first Death Star blocked the jump channel, they almost died in the closed channel. If Hake hadn't helped them, these two Death Stars would have disappeared from the Romick family's battle sequence.

So after seeing the scarred two Death Stars, Carrie broke out in a cold sweat and was even more grateful for her previous decision. The negotiations went smoothly, and the Seven Mist Group frankly admitted to starting the war and paid a huge compensation for it. The Romick family immediately obtained countless resources. Although the newly acquired occupied areas and compensation star fields still needed to be digested, after the Romick family had digested all of these, it would inevitably become a new top family in the Fifth World, gaining the same lofty status as those ancient families.

And among these compensations, the one Carrie cared about most was a person.

Mina.

This former Romick family head was also sent back by the Seven Mist Group. There were also some small family heads and warship commanders who had defected from the Romick family. Carrie met her in the floating castle. She almost couldn't recognize her at the time. Mina looked terrible. Her originally enchanting face had become extremely haggard, as if she had aged decades. Her once smooth skin was full of wrinkles. Her body was hunched over like an old woman.

“Mother…” Carrie looked at Mina's miserable state, feeling that she couldn't say a word, and finally asked only one sentence, “Do you regret it?”

“Jie jie jie jie…” Mina was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into wild laughter. She screamed as she laughed. “Why should I regret it? I'm not wrong! Everything I did was for the prosperity of the Romick family. Because I am the only one who can lead it to prosperity. And you… are just a bitch!! I wish I could kill you!!”

“But Mother,” Carrie replied without changing her expression as she listened to Mina's scolding. “The fact proves that you are just a loser, and I am the winner. Do you see how rapid the Romick family's development is now? Soon, it will become the top family. I have realized the dream of our ancestors.”

“Those old bastards are all bastards!!” Mina became even more angry when she mentioned the ancestors, and shouted hysterically. “I have been the family head for so long and they have not recognized me. But you have gained their recognition all at once. They are biased! How can the future of the Romick family be entrusted to a child like you? You will lead the Romick family into the abyss.”

“Damn it, damn it! You are all damn it!! I will curse you, curse you to never be at peace, curse you to fall into the nightmare of the universe! Curse you all to be killed!!” Later, Mina could no longer control her emotions, screaming wildly, her hideous face like a witch.

Looking at her desperate and ugly face, Carrie just remained silent. After a long time, she sighed and said softly.

“Mother, perhaps in your eyes, I will always be that child. But you are already out of date… Your eyes are only on the seat of the family head, but you can't see the future.”

“You may not know that your era ended after the Waterfall Bridge battle.”

“Take her down.” Carrie rubbed her temples wearily and ordered the guards beside her. “Execute her.”

“Throw the remains into the universe, and do not allow them to enter the family cemetery.” (To be continued!)
