Having had breakfast, Larry was already waiting by the main entrance of the Hermean Alliance.

"Don't cause so much trouble. If you have any questions about refining medicine, feel free to dial my number," Modican yelled as he waved at Gu Ding.

"Got it!" Gu Ding waved back before stepping into the car.

Larry whistled as he drove the two of them off. He was in a great mood. Over the past two days, his older brother had completely recovered, and his gene level had even been upgraded a grade. "Mr. Gu Ding, before you all leave, my brother wants to meet you guys and show his grat.i.tude in person."

After falling silent for a moment, Gu Ding gave an odd response. "Larry, apologies, but we can't meet your brother. Truthfully, you shouldn't tell anyone that you know us, or you'd be causing yourself a lot of trouble."

"I know you guys are Interstellar Pirates. That doesn't matter. On Fengyuan, there are many Interstellar Pirates." Larry thought Gu Ding was talking about a problem surrounding his career.

"I wasn't referring to this. When we reach the port later, you'll understand. If anyone asks you about us in the future, you should just tell them that the two of us only took a ride in your car twice and were regular pa.s.sengers." Gu Ding said very seriously.

"Alright then." Although he could not quite understand exactly what Gu Ding meant and also felt that it was somewhat regrettable, Larry did not ask too much. He was an intelligent person and knew when and when not to dig deeper.

After three hours, Larry finally brought the two of them to the port. Watching the two of them get out of the car and walk toward the humongous s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, Larry did not immediately leave and instead watched them from afar.

Upon boarding the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, Neptune immediately took over the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's system.

The giant Grey-faced Buzzard model very quickly left the ground, gradually climbing into the sky.

Just as Larry was getting ready to leave, he suddenly noticed a gun barrel extend from the Grey-faced Buzzard model. An uneasy thought flashed through his mind at once. 'What's this? They're attacking?'

Neptune aimed the barrel at Ona.s.sis's mansion and adjusted the strength of the gunfire according to the mansion's size in order to avoid affecting other houses. To him, this was nothing difficult. It seemed that two seconds had not pa.s.sed before he completed the adjustments.

Right then, the staff members at the port also noticed the abnormal behavior of the Grey-faced Buzzard model and sent Gu Ding a warning. "Please retract your weapon immediately, or your s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p will be delivered a devastating blow."

At the same time, the port's seventy-something armor-piercing cannons took aim at Gu Ding's Grey-faced Buzzard model. If there was just the slightest bit of suspicious movement, they would attack at once.

These seventy-something armor-piercing cannons were the port's ultimate weapons. Even the best Golden Eagle-grade wars.h.i.+p could not withstand these armor-piercing cannons' first round of bombardment. This was also the main reason why n.o.body dared to take action at the port as this type of behavior was the equivalent of courting death.

However, it was unfortunate that they were facing Neptune. Neptune completely ignored these seventy-two armor-piercing cannons and rampantly attacked as he controlled the Grey-faced Buzzard model.

As the Grey-faced Buzzard model attacked, the armor-piercing cannons that were supposed to respond in kind unexpectedly did not make a sound.

"What is this?" Many who saw this were stunned. Those seventy-two armor-piercing cannons were clearly aimed at Gu Ding's Grey-faced Buzzard model, yet for some unknown reason, they did not fire.

At the same time, on Fengyuan, the Ona.s.sis mansion that was situated beside a mountain turned into a wasteland amid the sounds of heavy gunfire. This scene also stunned many of the media reporters waiting outside the Ona.s.sis mansion. Very quickly, one reporter reacted and immediately captured a picture before uploading it to Skynet.

At the port, the main control room was in shambles. The systems of the seventy-two armor-piercing cannons had all been frozen at the same time, and not a single cannon could be used. This was the reason the Grey-faced Buzzard model had not been hit by the armor-piercing cannons after it launched the attack earlier.

Retracting the gun barrel, Neptune piloted the Grey-faced Buzzard model into a speedy ascension, only taking a few seconds before completely vanis.h.i.+ng from Fengyuan's atmosphere.

"Breaking news below, Interstellar Pirate Gu Ding and Interstellar Pirate Liliath destroyed the Ona.s.sis mansion located on Fengyuan at 11.27 this morning. According to information we received earlier, we came to know that Ricky Ona.s.sis wanted to use some underhanded tactics to purchase Gu Ding's first-generation Grey-faced Buzzed model s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p at a low price, but from the video below, we can see that not only did he not manage to get this young Interstellar Pirate's s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, he was also gifted a round of ammunition in return."

The news then showed the video of the Grey-faced Buzzard blasting the Ona.s.sis mansion. The video was the most complete picture the media could find on Skynet, and was also taken from a very good angle.

The video clearly recorded the entire process of the Grey-faced Buzzard model extending the gun barrel, getting warned by the port's staff members, and then bombarding the Ona.s.sis mansion—as well as the port's seventy-two armor-piercing cannons' lack of reaction.

"As everybody can see from the video, the port's armor-piercing cannons did not fire a single shot from start to finish. Before our program aired, we contacted the staff members at the port and received the reply that the systems suddenly froze, and all seventy-two armor-piercing cannons malfunctioned. In that case, we have to guess, were the armor-piercing cannons' sabotaged? If Gu Ding and Liliath did not know the armor-piercing cannons would malfunction, how would they have dared to launch an attack while staring down the barrel of the armor-piercing cannons?

"Fengyuan's Starport Authority has also just officially pa.s.sed Gu Ding and Liliath's letters of indictment to the Federal Government and requested a large increase in the duo's bounties. Moreover, Fengyuan's government has officially listed the duo in their eternal blacklist, never allowing them to enter Fengyuan ever again. At the same time, the Ona.s.sis family is recruiting Interstellar Hunters to pursue Gu Ding and Liliath and have even attached a private bounty. Gu Ding's is three hundred million Star Credits, and Liliath's is two hundred million Star Credits, regardless of dead or alive. It seems that these two new folks have made a big blunder this time around. It's unknown in which direction this matter will progress, but as a member of the media, I can only wish you two youngsters good luck, and to at least bring us some good news."

Turning off the news projection, Liliath turned her head to look at Gu Ding. "Where's our next stop?"

"Under these circ.u.mstances, I'm afraid we can't dwell in Skyriver Sector anymore. This video has probably spread there Sector already." Gu Ding shrugged. "Let's go to Constlac then. There are quite a few large-scale repair shops there, and our s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p does indeed need some repairs."

"Black Iron Sector's Constlac? That's a little far." Liliath had heard of this planet before.

"It's the largest manufacturing planet in the Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. It's worth the trip, and we can test our luck too and see if we can find our own mechanic." Gu Ding was a little excited about this new voyage.
