star born zero

A few days later, the Orionis SA-425 Beta asteroid

In the vast universe, there are many asteroids that do not belong to any country but have habitable conditions.Among them, the ones that are closer to the human planets become the concentration places of gray transactions.Like Star Pirates, these planets belong to illegal areas, from banned drugs, weapons, human organs and even slaves, as long as they can be exchanged for money, they are all trading objects.

Asteroid SA-425Beta is one of them.It is only a dozen light-hours away from Mayboreal, Pasa, and Popole, and it is a centralized trading place for gray merchants of these planets.In addition to businessmen, bounty hunters, star thieves, and even intelligence personnel from nearby planetary military headquarters are also frequent visitors here.

a bar on a planet

The exchanges here are nothing less than several types, bars, casinos, fighting arenas or brothels.The lighting in this bar is dim, and there are no people drinking and chatting in sight.Several groups of people sitting scattered were wearing masks, and they deliberately separated several seats from each other, obviously not wanting others to hear the conversation.

On a corner seat, a masked man was waiting.There was a glass of wine on his table, but he didn't seem in the mood to drink it, his eyes were fixed on the door and his feet were shaking constantly.

Then Igger walked in the door, looked around the bar, noticed him, and walked straight to him.Yige also wore a mask on his face, with only two eyes exposed.He came to the dealer's table and sat across from him.

"Today's signature dish is good, have you tried it?" Yige said a secret word.

"The chicken is too old, and the rabbit meat is undercooked." The trader replied, confirming that the person on the opposite side was the customer provided by the informant, "I heard that you want to buy the Omega from Planet Popole? I don't know what kind you like. People, do you have any special hobbies, and what price do you offer?"

Ige put a photo in front of him, and it was Lan Xi, "Do you still remember this Omega, which was auctioned off from you more than a year ago."

The trader took a look at the photo, "I have no impression, you are looking for the wrong person."

Igger snorted, and slapped the laser pistol on the table, "Think about it before you talk."

The dealer's eyes were a little nervous, and he began to glance behind him from the corner of his eye, as if looking for a way to escape.His every move is watched by Yige.

"If you want to die, just try to escape or grab the gun, and you will die happily."

The trader seemed extremely nervous, and suddenly fell to his knees in front of Iger with a plop.

"I was wrong about that incident. Please tell Lord Ludwig that I really didn't mean it! I really didn't know that Omega had been marked! Even if I lend me a hundred courage, I dare not delay Lord Ludwig's business!"

From his trembling words, Yige heard more than one piece of useful information.He guessed in his heart, and then decided to try it out.

"You don't dare to delay the matter, but you dare to leak to me Louis Ludwig behind the scenes." Iger showed a smile of watching the show, "I think you have more than a hundred guts."

"You..." The trader's eyes widened when he heard the words, "Didn't you be sent by Master Ludwig?!"

His expression had already made Iger understand that Ludwig's family was actually involved behind this incident.But what was the matter, he didn't know.

"Actually, I just said..." The trader was halfway through speaking, and suddenly jumped up and wanted to run away.Yige followed a stumbling leg and threw him to the ground, then picked up his collar, and dragged the limp man to his eyes.

"Answer my question honestly! Otherwise, I'll send you to Louis Ludwig right now."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the trader nodded hurriedly, "As long as I know, I will tell you."

Iggy let go of his collar and let him sit back on the seat, "What does Louis Ludwig have to do with this Omega?"

The trader swallowed hard, and glanced around warily for fear of being overheard.

"At that time, I was introduced by someone, saying that Lord Louis wanted to buy an Omega. He only had one requirement. This Omega must be beautiful and attractive, the kind that a man can't let go after passing by once. It happened that the civil war on Popole was coming to an end. Our downline dealers are collecting resources on that planet. You also know that the Popole star's appearance is famous in the entire galaxy. So..."

"So you sold Milo to him?"

"It's not sold to him, but to the bidders of Mei Xing's royal family." The dealer quickly explained, "Master Louis asked me to keep Milo for the auction. As he said, the Mei Xing royal family's bidders at that auction Buyers also came to participate. I showed Milo to him, and he immediately fell in love with it and bought it."

"Then how do you know that Milo was marked?"

"I didn't know at the beginning." The dealer said with a bitter face, "But not long after the auction, the bidders from Meixing Palace came to me and asked if I marked Milo. Buying and selling, stealing is a big taboo, especially for high-end items at auctions. It was only then that I found out that he had been marked."

Ige knew that Omega would not be able to tell if it was marked until it was in heat.Therefore, there is only one possibility for the palace bidder to come to the door.

"Then did the palace bidder say when Milo was in heat?"

The trader shook his head, "How could he tell me this kind of thing. But I heard that the emperor likes him very much, even if he wears a mark, he is very fond of him, so the bidders didn't make it difficult for me. I am more afraid of Lord Louis. I've been hiding here and there for a while, but he never found me. God bless him, he doesn't know about it."

"Are you so afraid of him, is the Ludwig family very powerful in the gray area?" Iger was a little puzzled.

"Yes. The Ludwig family's circle of contacts expanded to the gray area, and it started with Mr. Louis. It is said that because of the serious differences between Mei Xing and the royal family, they wanted to expand their power to maintain the family status. Mr. Louis is famous for being happy The anger is not visible, but the means are decisive, and those who offend him will have no good results."

Yige raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that there was such a thing in the background of this family.But now, he doesn't care about it for the time being.

"Let's not talk about this first, when did that palace bidder approach you?"

"Probably less than a year ago." The trader seemed to understand what he wanted to ask, "I guess it's because Milo came to me for questioning when he was in heat."

"So, his estrus period this year should be coming soon?"

"If my guess is right, it should be a month later."

After the questioning, Iger left the bar and walked on the sparsely populated streets.He turned on the communicator as he walked, ready for Willy to activate the portal back to Freeport.At this time, two people came out from the corner and walked directly opposite him.

He inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the two of them. A man and a woman on the opposite side were also wearing masks. Both of them seemed to be Alphas.The woman has a pair of pointed ears and slender eyes, and a thin and strong body with light and steady steps. It seems that she should have extraordinary skills.And the man kept staring at him, his eyes seemed to recognize him.

Looking at each other, Yige and the two gradually approached.Yige clearly saw hostility in the man's eyes.The moment he passed by, Ige touched the gun at his waist with his left hand.Because he intuitively felt that the man might attack him.

However, nothing happened.

The two sides became farther and farther away, and finally a man and a woman disappeared at the corner of the street.Yige stopped and turned to look in the direction where the two disappeared. He believed that what happened just now was definitely not an illusion.

"Do I know him? Did I miss some ruthless character?"

the other side of the corner

A man and a woman continued to move forward, and the woman looked back, "My lord, it's that star thief. Do you want me..."

The fox shook his head, "No need, Irene. We have more important things to do."

Erin bowed her head respectfully, "Yes."

The two walked into a shop near the corner of the street, which was an underground fighting arena.The shop owner seemed to know the two of them, so he respectfully let them into a lounge first.The soundproofing equipment was activated in the room, and the two of them sat down on two single sofas.

"From the fifth to the seventh day of the first month of next month, you go to the prisoner's forest in the capital city of Planet Pasa. Sith is having peace negotiations there, and you secretly protect his safety. If he makes any mistakes, you understand the consequences."

"Yes, I will guarantee his safety with my life." Irene only knew that the fox was 100% loyal to Sith, "But I remember that there is no communication signal in the prisoner's forest."

"You don't need to contact me, just keep Sith safe. Follow him wherever he goes, but don't let him see you." The fox warned.

"clear."

While the two were talking, the shop owner pressed the communicator at the door, "The location in the fighting arena is ready, please go ahead."

The fox and Irene left the room and took the elevator to the depths of the ground.There is a lot of space here, with a ring in the middle, completely surrounded by barbed wire.Fighting was going on in the arena, and there were many people wearing masks watching from the audience.Many of them, like foxes, are spies from the military departments of various countries, and they come here to find useful people.

Fox and Irene came to the designated seats in the front row and sat down.A fight was going on in the arena, a boy with short black hair was fighting an orc.Regardless of size, strength or movement speed, the orcs have a clear racial advantage.But the young man managed to draw with it by virtue of his flexible positioning and precise attack.The two were evenly matched in the arena, and the people watching the battle below were also attentive.Undoubtedly, the winning party after this match should be bid at a high price.

"This boy, it would be better if he was stronger." Irene said with a bit of regret.The teenager's attack position was very accurate, but due to lack of strength, he couldn't kill the enemy.

The fox just watched and said nothing.

This fight has been going on for a long time.The young man was gradually exhausted, and an orc took advantage of an inadvertent one, and sent him flying to the barbed wire fence on the edge of the ring with a punch.The boy's body hit the barbed wire fence heavily, then fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.People in the audience began to applaud and blow their whistles one after another, it seemed that the game was about to end.The orc raised his iron fist and walked towards the boy. A punch from that posture would definitely kill the boy.

Suddenly a bell rang, it was the handbell of the bidder.Everyone's dissatisfied eyes immediately turned to the fox who was ringing the bell.Bidding usually doesn't start until a winner is decided.It is actually against the rules for him to interrupt the game to affect the result.Looking at the hostile eyes around her, Irene's eyes also turned cold, ready to protect the fox at any time.

The shop owner hurriedly signaled everyone to be safe and calm, then ran to the fox and said with a smile, "My lord, the competition is not over yet, let the winners settle the losers first, and it won't be too late for you to make an offer."

"Who told you that I'm going to buy a winner?" The fox pointed at the boy who fell on the ground, "I'm going to buy him."
