Chapter 443

The Gates family represented the Fenance Financial Group. Usually, even interstellar pirates would not provoke a ship with their family crest, let alone a mercenary group. This was because the wealth of the Fenance Financial Group was enough to hire over a hundred True Gods to wipe out any organization that dared to provoke them. Of course, the prerequisite was that there were so many True Gods in the Cosmic Sea.

But this mercenary group's ship was brazenly intercepting the Gates family's ship. This made Argus angry. He used his communicator to contact the intercepting mercenary group. "I am from the Gates family. Before you make a move, you better look carefully at the family crest on the ship. Don't provoke a power that you shouldn't provoke!"

Hearing Argus' words, a black-faced, brawny man on the five-star Wargod of the mercenary group only grinned evilly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "The people we're intercepting are from the Gates Family!"

"Who hired you? Is it the Koch family?!" Argus immediately knew that the other party was targeting the Gates family. But a mercenary group did not have the guts to attack the Gates family. They were definitely being instigated and supported by someone else. "You better think this through. No matter who instigated you, you touched our ship today. Within three days, I guarantee that everyone in your mercenary group will die. Not a single one will survive! The Gates family has always had a good relationship with the Qiya family, who possess the Phantom Sting bloodline. "

When the black-faced muscular man heard this, his expression changed. He naturally knew how terrifying the Qi Clan was. It was a powerful assassin clan that possessed the Ancient Sly Assassin Bloodline. In the Cosmic Sea, it could be ranked in the top three. In that family, everyone was a professional assassin. Everyone learned how to walk at the age of one and began to receive the terrifying training of professional assassins. Elite members could accept assassination missions at the age of five. According to legend, in ancient times, the ancestors of this family had once assassinated a True God. From ancient times until now, more than one True God had died at their hands. It was a terrifying family that caused people to tremble in fear.

"Boss, we can't afford to provoke the Qiya family …" The skinny man next to him was also pale with fright.

"What are you afraid of?!" The black-faced brawny man slammed the table and glared at the skinny man. He then shouted into the microphone, "Do you think you can scare us like this? We've received inside information that your Gates clan will be completely bankrupt in just a few days. The Zia clan has a good relationship with the Gates clan because the Gates clan is rich. Once the Gates clan goes bankrupt, it would be a wonder if the Zia clan would bother with you! "

"Looks like it really is the Koch family." Argus's expression immediately turned ugly. "What should I do with the mission Young Master gave me? Before I came here, he specifically told me to deliver it to his friend. "

"Haha, you have nothing to say, right? What Ziya clan? I've been scared since I was a child. Your little tricks are nothing more than a child's play in front of an expert! "The black-faced man laughed." Our employer said that we were going to blow the Gates clan's spaceship into smithereens. Prepare to fire! "

The twelve spaceships immediately adjusted their cannons and aimed at the Gates family's four-star Osprey.

Looking at the hundreds of pitch-black muzzles, Agus' mind went blank. "What should I do, what should I do …"

"Fire!" The black-faced man shouted.

Argus closed his eyes in despair. He knew that he was going to die this time.

However, the strange thing was that after that voice fell, there was no sound of cannon fire for nearly half a minute.

"What's going on? I told you to fire, didn't you hear me? " The other party's communicator was not switched off, so Argus could clearly hear the voice of the mercenary group leader.

"Boss, the weapon system seems to have malfunctioned." At this moment, the black-faced man heard a youth say weakly from not far away.

"Weapon system malfunctioned?! Could it be that all twelve spaceships have malfunctioned? You idiots, I've already told you to fire. Must you wait for the War God I'm on to fire before you act?! "The black-faced man roared loudly, sounding extremely angry. His words were clearly heard by Argus through the communicator.

"Their spaceship's weapon system has malfunctioned. This is my chance!" Argus immediately reacted. He adjusted the cannons on the spaceship and aimed at the five-star War God. He knew that it was the enemy's main spaceship.

Just as the cannons were aimed, a flash of light appeared in the sky. Almost at the same time, the sound of an explosion and the screams of a large number of people could be heard from the communicator.

"What's going on?" Looking at the burst of sparks not far away, Argus looked down at his fingers in surprise. "I haven't pressed the launch button yet …"

Just as the thought crossed his mind, a second burst of sparks bloomed, followed by a third, and a fourth …

Twelve bursts of sparks exploded one after another. Violent explosions and screams could be heard from the communicator.

"What the hell happened?" Argus's heart was full of doubts.

"Stop spacing out. Hurry up and come to Hotstar to complete the deal with us. We have some things to ask you while you're at it." A young voice came from the communicator, startling Argus.

Only then did Argus react. "Could it be Young Master's friends who attacked just now? Did they use a long-range attack across star sectors? "

He thought about it but still could not come up with a convincing answer. He simply put the question aside and piloted the spaceship to continue flying toward the predetermined route.

…

On Hotstar, Gu Ding and the others had clearly seen the scene that had just happened. In the video projection, the explosion of the spaceship was still burning.

"Neptune, it's a good thing you found out. Otherwise, the people sent by Faust to deliver us materials would have been killed by those mercenaries." Gu Ding did not expect the Gates family's spaceship to be intercepted.

"It seems that the problem the Gates family has encountered is much more serious than we thought." Neptune also came to a conclusion from this incident.

More than ten minutes later, an Osprey docked at Hotstar's port. The hull of the spaceship was printed with an image of a Chimera spreading its wings. Gu Ding and the others knew that this spaceship was the one sent by the Gates family to deliver the goods.

Argus got off the spaceship and saw a group of teenagers gathered below. After glancing at them, he ejected a projection of his wristwatch and confirmed Gu Ding and the others' identities after comparing them. "You're the Gu Ding Pirate Crew?"

"That's right. You're the people sent by Faust to deliver the goods, right?" Gu Ding nodded and asked.

"Yes." Argus took out another temporary Storage Space Wristwatch from his wristwatch and handed it to Gu Ding. "Take a count and see if the quantity is correct."

Neptune finished counting in an instant. "No problem. Faust also gave us some more materials."

"If there's no problem, I'll leave first. I've been very busy with various family matters recently. I have to get back as soon as possible!" Argus said to Gu Ding.

"What happened to the Gates family?" Gu Ding asked as he put the temporary Storage Space Wristwatch back into the Inventory.

"I'm sorry. This is an internal matter of the Gates family. We can't mention it to outsiders. Even if you're the young master's friends, it's not okay. " Argus did not have a good impression of Gu Ding's crew. There was something else he wanted to say but did not say out loud. "You so-called friends are only here for the young master's money. I'm not obliged to tell you these things."

"We really want to help because we've seen a lot of rumors on Skynet recently that the Gates family is facing a crisis. Moreover, the attack you just encountered shows that the crisis the Gates family is facing is more serious than we thought. "Gu Ding was a little speechless. The young man sent by Faust obviously did not trust them.

"You should call the young master's communicator and ask him himself. If you really can help, he'll definitely tell you." Argus hesitated for a moment but still shook his head. In the end, he still did not trust Gu Ding's crew.

"We've called him many times in the past few days to find out what's going on, but he hasn't picked up our calls," Gu Ding said as he looked at Argus's wristwatch. Gu Ding looked at Argus' wrist. "Use your communicator to call Faust. I'm sure he'll pick up. Then, we can get to the bottom of this."

"This …" Argus frowned slightly. He was still a little hesitant to trust Gu Ding's crew.

"If we really can't help, it'll only take a few minutes of your time. If we can help, we might be able to help the Gates family turn the situation around. If I were a member of the Gates family, I'd choose to take a gamble, "Miko suddenly said from the side.

"Alright then!" When Argus heard this, he was silent for a moment before he nodded and immediately dialed Faust's number.

Before the beep ended, Faust picked up the call. His voice sounded a little low. "How is it? Have you delivered it?"

"Yes, Young Master. But they want to talk to you." Argus was a little nervous.

There was a moment of silence on the communicator. Then, there was a soft sigh. "Alright."

"Faust, tell us what happened to the Gates family. Maybe we can help." Gu Ding frowned slightly. When he heard Faust's voice, he was a little worried.

"I'll think of a way to solve these things. You don't have to worry about me. Enjoy your journey. I believe that one day, you'll enter the forbidden zone under the sea and make a name for yourselves there. "Faust's voice was slightly calmer.

When Argus heard this, he was a little surprised. This meant that the young master really had a good relationship with these Interstellar Pirates.

"Do you still remember that I once told you that you're already our partner? Do you know what it means to be a partner? A partner is someone who can give you a shoulder to lean on, a back to support you, and a hand to support you when you need it! Tell us what kind of crisis the Gates family is facing. We'll help you deal with it! "

Gu Ding's words caused Argus's eyes to turn red. Everyone could faintly hear Faust's soft sobs coming from the other end of the communicator.
