Dark Fox paused briefly, then nodded knowingly and closed his eyes to rest.


    Alkaid is known as the most chaotic of the seven major stars, and it also lies at a remote distance from the capital star.


    While there are governmental bodies and military forces there, they are fundamentally unable to suppress some of the prevailing forces.


    In these areas, thew of the jungle prevails.


    If you are powerful enough, you can rule as king without anyone interfering.


    The capital star and the remotes have always maintained a delicate bnce.


    The top threes enjoy nearly 80% of the entire league''s resources and profits, while the remainings split the leftover 20%.


    Of course, these ratings are merely superficial; the actual share each gets depends entirely on their strength!


    The is divided into territories by various factions, each iming their own slice.


    However, they all tacitly agree to pay their taxes dutifully every year. Continue reading at m|v-l''e -NovelBin


    This is why, despite the capital''s awareness of the chaos here, they have never sent forces to impose order.


    Each ce has its way of living, and as long as it doesn''t impact their profits, they don''t care.


    But this ce is also known as Chaos Star.


    As the spaceship entered the docking port, John could already feel malevolent gazes fixed on them from outside.


    The crew aboard the ship looked at them with a heightened sense of seriousness, saying nothing as they quickly ushered them off and shut the ship''s door behind them.


    "What''s going on with them?" John asked, puzzled.


    It almost seemed as if they were being rushed off like harbingers of gue.


    Dark Fox nced at the people outside the port who kept watching them, then lowered his voice.


    "This is the infamous Chaos Star. Although there''s an unwritten rule here not to mess with the ships, there are always some who are bold enough."


    "Some people get robbed as soon as they disembark, and some are even targeted while they''re still on the ship."


    John looked at the people outside and noticed some eyes scanning the surroundings likesers.


    There weren''t many passengers on their ship.


    Besides the three of them, there were only about a dozen others.


    One appeared to be a businessman apanied by five or six bodyguards.


    A few burly men immediately took out therge swords they carried as they got off the ship, intimidating many onlookers.


    Initially, some gazes were fixed on the burly man, but as soon as he brandished hisrge sword, those gazes swiftly shifted away.


    Instead, more eyes began to focus on them.


    John found it somewhat amusing—they were clearly being seen as easy targets.


    Among those on the ship, the three of them did indeed stand out as particrly vulnerable.


    Although there were two men and one woman, the men appeared only moderately muscr, far from being intimidating brutes.


    The woman, cloaked in her mantle, seemed especially delicate and fetching.


    Some people''s gazes started to fix on Silver Tear, turning increasingly sinister.


    After all, in Chaos Star, a beautiful woman was deemed highly valuable.


    "It looks like we''ve caught their attention," Silver Tear noted, clearly disgusted by the leering looks she was receiving.


    Having spent many years in the Hidden Stars, she had experienced all manner of situations, but the malicious stares still made her skin crawl.


    They hade to rescue their captain, so naturally, they preferred to avoid any conspicuous trouble.


    After all, they were still unsure of the exact situation, and any misstep on their part could jeopardize their captain''s safety.


    "It''s okay. If someone really insists on causing trouble, we wouldn''t mind giving them a taste of their own medicine."


    They were not the type to start conflicts, but if provoked, they wouldn''t hesitate to respond.


    Dark Fox also adjusted the hood of his cloak, a slight upward curve forming at the corner of his mouth.


    If it were the captain here, they might really hesitate to make a move.


    But with John, it was different.


    They all knew John''s temperament well: do not provoke, but if provoked, retaliate tenfold! If these people didn''t strike first, all would be well, but if they did, not even gods could save them!


    The trio walked out of the station together.


    Once outside, they keenly felt the number of gazes on them increase, bing more brazen.


    John and hispanions exchanged nces; though no words were spoken, they instantly understood each other''s intentions.


    After leaving the bustling area near the station, they turned into a small alley.


    The people who had been following them exchanged looks and smiled satisfactorily.


    They had been thinking that if these neers didn''tply, it would take some effort to deal with them.


    But unexpectedly, these neers had willingly walked into a secluded alley, making any potential confrontation much more convenient for them.


    John and hispanions pretended to be oblivious, walking further into the alley which was somewhat secluded.


    Although still rtively central, they hesitated, fearing these people might not make a move due to the bustling surroundings, where any violence could lead to arrest.


    But, to their surprise, these folks were brazen enough to corner them in the alley!


    One of them toyed with a revolver, appearing to be a gunsmith.


    The others held eitherrge swords or staves, their eyes brimming with malice.


    "Looks like it''s your first time in Alkaid, brothers? If so, might you need a guide?" one sneered.


    "This youngdy looks pretty charming, how about she stays here and we show you around, let you have some fun?"


    "There are plenty of ces on our worth lingering over. Wannae with us?"


    As he spoke, his expression was nonchnt, his lips curled into a sinister smile.


    "This ce can be pretty chaotic, and I have some sway around here. Why don''t youe with us first? We guarantee you''ll feel right at home."


    The others couldn''t help but chuckle, their eyes revealing ill intentions.


    John gave Silver Tear an imperceptible nod, and she perfectly acted out a look of sheer terror.


    "What do you want? We''re here to find someone, not to y," she said, her voice trembling.


    Her feigned fear only excited the men further; they grinned and took a few steps forward, almostpletely encircling them.


    "So, you''re here to find someone? That''s even better," the leader with bleached hair chuckled, his face contorting into a lewd smirk.


    "I know everyone around here. Just y nice with me, and I promise you''ll have a great time."


    Some of hispanions, unable to contain their eagerness, stepped forward, their expressions twisted with excitement, their tone disgustingly sinister.


    "Boss, let''s just do it," one of them urged.


    "Take the girl for some fun, and toss these two men into the underground city."


    Their gazes upon John and Dark Fox shifted, hinting at darker intentions.


    After all, this was Chaos Star.


    Some people have no reservations about gender.


    Any man with delicate features thrown into the underground city would find favor with some bosses.


    On this, everything can bemodified, including people.
