Chapter 232

At the port of Red Shield, a black-and-white Golden Eagle slowly landed.

The moment the spaceship landed, a young man dialed a communicator number. "Boss, Gu Ding's spaceship has arrived at the port."

On the other end of the communicator was another young man wearing sunglasses. He was sitting on the open-air terrace of a breakfast shop, enjoying coffee and bread. "Got it. Send me the picture. Keep an eye on them. If they get off the spaceship and split up, inform the others to follow them. Don't miss any of them. "

"Got it!" After hanging up, he immediately took a picture of Gu Ding's Golden Eagle and sent it to his boss.

After receiving the picture, the man in sunglasses took off his sunglasses. After confirming that the picture on the projection was indeed Gu Ding's spaceship, he dialed another number.

"Hello, is this General Mance from the Army?" The man in sunglasses fiddled with the leg of his glasses in his hand. There was not much respect in his voice.

"Who are you? Where did you get this number? "The deep voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the communicator.

"I would like to report something anonymously. I just saw Gu Ding's crew's spaceship arrive at the port of Red Shield. Red Shield should be under your jurisdiction, General, right? Please send someone to take him away as soon as possible. Red Shield is not safe. That Interstellar Pirate named Gu Ding has a bounty of more than two billion Universe Credits. It seems that every time he goes to a planet, he causes big trouble. I'm just an ordinary citizen, so I'm afraid to go out … "

Before the man in sunglasses could finish, he was interrupted by the voice on the other end of the communicator. "Got it. We'll investigate this matter thoroughly and deal with it."

"When …" The man in sunglasses wanted to put more pressure on the other end, but the other end had already hung up.

…

On Planet Red Shield, in a luxury hotel suite, a half-naked middle-aged majestic man sat up on the bed.

"Who is it? What a wet blanket." A lazy female voice came from the bed. She stroked the man's broad back with one hand, her fingers moving gently like a fairy.

"Get out. You don't have to come here starting tonight." Maans turned his head to look at the black-haired beauty with a graceful figure. He had wanted to enjoy this body that had captivated him for a few more days, but now it seemed that not killing her was already merciful.

"Did I … do something wrong?" The young woman looked a little confused.

"You didn't do anything wrong. Put on your clothes and leave." Maans finally managed to move his gaze away. "If anyone from the Childes asks you, tell them I'm not in the mood these days and tell them not to bring another woman over."

After that, Maans sat on the bed and lit a cigarette for himself.

The woman's expression was somewhat gloomy as she put on her clothes, but she did not leave immediately. Instead, she walked around the large goose down bed and walked in front of the man. "Although I don't know what happened, I know what you're thinking. To you, I'm just a high-class prostitute the Childes hired to sleep with you. Therefore, after sleeping with her a few times, you could feel that it was no longer interesting and just fall out with her. I can leave, but before I do, I want to make a few things clear: I'm sleeping with you not for money, but because I like you! Also, I'll return the necklace you bought for three hundred thousand Universe Credits the day before yesterday. Do you know how much the one I wore before was worth? Eight million! "

With that, the woman ripped the necklace off her neck and threw it at Maans. Then, she picked up her high heels and strode barefoot out of the hotel room.

"Euanna, I'm sorry …" Maans picked up the necklace and lowered his head silently. "I have to guard against everything related to the Childes."

"General." Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Maans put the necklace into his Inventory and shouted at the door.

A young man in a military uniform pushed the door open and walked to a spot near the bed.

"What's the matter?" Maans walked straight to the bathroom.

"General, we've just received news that Gu Ding's crew has arrived at the port. According to the chief of staff, their crew is probably here for the Childes. "

"I already know about this. There was a report call that went straight to my communicator this morning." Maans was a little annoyed when he talked about it. It was impossible for ordinary people to find his communicator number. Apart from a few of his direct subordinates, the only person here who knew his number was Euanna. That was why he was so annoyed earlier. It was very likely that Euanna had leaked his number to the Childes because from the beginning, she was the 'escort' the Childes had arranged for him. He had been head over heels for that woman for the past few days.

"What should we do? It's almost the coming-of-age ceremony for the young master of the Childes. They've invited so many of us to the ceremony. It wouldn't be good if we just ignore it, would it? "The young man asked anxiously.

"Gu Ding's crew might not be here to cause trouble. Maybe they're just here to watch the ceremony? Just send someone to keep an eye on them and wait and see. "Although that was what Maans said, that was not what he was thinking.

He knew that Gu Ding's crew must be at odds with the Childes. Otherwise, the Childes would not have invited so many powerhouses for the coming-of-age ceremony. He had met fifteen or sixteen Rank-13 powerhouses in the past few days, and one of the guests was even a demigod. For a child's coming-of-age ceremony, this was a little too high profile.

Most importantly, Red Shield was under his jurisdiction. It stood to reason that the other party only needed to invite him, the supreme commander of the Army, for such a coming-of-age ceremony. However, the invitation sent by the Childes did not just have his name on it, but the names of everyone in his crew with combat effectiveness above Rank-12. At that time, he had already noticed that something was off but did not think too much about it.

After arriving at Red Shield, he could clearly feel the momentum of a storm brewing. He also saw many powerhouses. It was only then that he realized that the Childes had invited his entire crew of powerhouses to use him as a weapon. After receiving the tip-off call, he realized that it was Gu Ding's crew that had caused all this.

As a general of the Army, he was considered a respectable figure in Faye Cosmic Nation. In the Army, he had always been a man of his word. This time, he had been played by the Childes. First, they had found a woman to bewitch him, and then they had the woman whisper in his ear and use him as a weapon against Gu Ding's crew. This was something that made him extremely unhappy. Therefore, he decided to sit tight and watch the show.

Gu Ding and his crew did not expect that such intrigue was still going on on Red Shield.

As soon as the spaceship docked, everyone in the living room had gathered.

"Gu Ding, are we going straight to the Childes to look for the young master once we get off the spaceship?" Ayesha raised her fist. She was a little eager to try. After all, she had not fought for a long time and her hands were itching. And most importantly, when she felt that her combat power was increasing slowly, Neptune taught her a set of combat techniques called Stacking Fist. It was used in conjunction with the special energy in her body, and the effect was much better than Righteous Force.

"There's no hurry. The coming-of-age ceremony will start in two days. If we do it now, we'll have to leave before the ceremony. So, let's just eat and play for the next two days. We've been cooped up on the ship for more than half a month. Let's take these two days as a vacation. "Gu Ding did not intend to settle the score with the young master of the Childes so soon.

"That sounds good, but is it safe?" Liliath did not think it was a good idea to swagger around the enemy's doorstep.

"Don't worry, they won't make any big moves before the coming-of-age ceremony. At most, they'll send someone to do some small tests," Gu Ding said confidently. "If we don't cause trouble, they won't dare to do anything. If they do anything, it'll be equivalent to announcing to all Interstellar Pirates in the world that their family does not welcome any Interstellar Pirates. After all, nearly a third of their family's business customers are Interstellar Pirates. Moreover, they also hope that their deployment will be more thorough. Giving them two more days is exactly what they want. "

"Humans are really complicated creatures. If it were me, I'd nip the danger in the bud at all costs." Neptune did not quite understand the situation Gu Ding was talking about. "According to my calculations, if our crew is killed before the coming-of-age ceremony, there's only a 12.88% chance that the Childes will arouse resentment from other Interstellar Pirates. Moreover, many of their family's businesses have a certain advantage in the market, so the probability of people giving up on their products is even smaller. It's probably less than 5%. "

"This kind of thing can't be calculated with probability because they won't calculate the probability. They only know that killing us before the coming-of-age ceremony will definitely arouse resentment from some Interstellar Pirates, so they won't take the risk. " Gu Ding shook his head. He also knew that using probability to calculate things was actually unreliable most of the time. This was why Neptune was not suitable to be a team strategist.

"I think Gu Ding has a point. Neptune, you can calculate the probability in an instant. However, if it's the Childes, they may need more time to collect all kinds of information and data to make the corresponding calculations. It may take days or even months to calculate the probability. " Liliath nodded. "Therefore, they won't waste time doing this kind of thing. They'll only give a rough judgment."

"Then we can disembark for breakfast now." Gu Ding grinned. When he disagreed with Neptune, he rarely received support from others because Neptune basically did not make mistakes. It was not easy to meet someone who supported his deduction, so he could not help but feel a little proud.
