Luo Jinhu struggled below Bai Xinghe's slippers like a cockroach . He screamed, "I was wrong . Boss Bai, I know I was wrong!"
"Of course you were wrong . "
Bai Xinghe stomped hard several times before he moved his slippers away from Luo Jinhu's face, where dozens of slipper prints had been left .
Luo Jinhu's face looked like a potato that had been thoroughly mashed .
Bai Xinghe took a breath in relief . His voice turned comforting and reliable again as he asked, "Ah Gou, what kind of criminals do you think can always go unpunished?"
Luo Jinhu had become used to Bai Xing's sudden change of topics . He thought hard for a moment and hesitated . "The real smart ones?"
"No . The most cunning fox is still no match for a hunter . Even the smartest criminal will be caught sooner or later as long as they keep doing their job," Bai Xinghe replied casually . "Only one kind of bad guys can get away from justice forever, when the damage they cause is far lower than the cost in order to capture them . Do you understand?
"Forget it . I can tell from your ignorant eyes that you don't understand .
"Let me change my question . Do you know what Senior Yan Xinjian, the supreme space pirate five hundred years ago, did after he defeated the fleet of Cultivators?"
Luo Jinhu shook his head helplessly .
Narrowing his eyes, Bai Xinghe said gravely, "The supreme space pirate Yan Xinjian rose to power during the war and gathered a bunch of soldiers who were absolutely loyal to him . After he defeated the fleet of Cultivators, he immediately swept Spider Den unstoppably!
"With consideration of the crimes that the space pirates committed, he sentenced the space pirates who were hated by a lot of people to death, those who had killed the important disciples of major sects and who were disobedient!
"Later, he sent the videos of the space pirates' executions to Cultivators through underground channels .
"Later, he summoned all the space pirates for a meeting and established ten rules, which are known as 'Ten Sword Rules' today .
"In every robbery, take away two thirds of the trophies and leave one third for the victims .
"If there's no resistance, don't hurt the ordinary people on board and the armed soldiers if they lay down their weapons and surrender .
"No rapes . Never kill pregnant women and kids below ten .
"Never plunder carriers that have just experienced a cosmic storm!
"Never plunder a carrier twice in one journey . Do not touch anything and retreat immediately if you find that the starship has been looted before!
"There are five more rules besides those . Whichever pirate gang violated the rules, Yan Xinjian would be the first to ask for their trouble until they admitted to their guilt .
"At that time, everybody said that Yan Xinjian was a fool . Cultivators were their mortal enemies anyway . The self-restricting rules were completely redundant for them .
"There were even people who thought that Yan Xinjian was a spy sent by the Cultivators, even if he had caused the Cultivators a crushing defeat in the battle to protect Spider Den .
"However, despite the doubts, there was not a second fleet waging a second war on space pirates in the hundred years after Yan Xinjian passed away .
"Why? Do you think that they were really scared of Spider Den?
"Of course not . Senior Yan Xinjian merely gave Cultivators a clear message: You will pay a high price if you attack me, and your damage is very low if you leave me alone . I am just a minor disease and not worth your trouble .
"Yan Xinjian is the greatest precursor of the robbing industry in my mind .
"However, now that he has been dead for hundreds of years, you greedy, short-sighted idiots know no self-restrictions at all . The Ten Sword Rules have long been left behind!
"Today, you are even asking for your own death by promoting yourself from dermatitis into cancer for the Cultivators .
"How does it feel, Captain Luo? Your wish has been fulfilled . Great crimes have been committed, and you are a crazy devil now . All the Cultivators will come after you . You must feel comfortable and satisfied with a strong sense of accomplishment . Your life is worth it, is it not?"
Luo Jinhu felt like crying . "Boss Bai, please stop making fun of me . Help me find a way to survive!"
Bai Xinghe snorted and said, "Way to survive? We have only two ways ahead of us .
"Firstly, in several years, when the Immortal Cultivators' cause fails, Spider Den will be destroyed by Cultivators . The space pirates, who are their mortal enemies on the surface, will be the best targets . We will all be executed .
"In the meantime, the Immortal Cultivators will use our dead bodies as cover and continue lurking for their next chance .
"It is quite possible that while we are fighting a bloody battle with Cultivators on Spider Den, they will be drinking orange juice on a sunny beach in a certain world fragment and watching the live stream of the battle news .
"Secondly, despite all the unfavorable circumstances, the Immortal Cultivators might succeed, but vanguards like you won't end any better!
"They could even do such a thing as attracting extraterrestrial devils . Do you think they will honor their promise for thieves such as you and me? Hilarious!"
"Boss Bai, we had the same doubts before . " Luo Jinhu finally rose from the ground . He kept kneeling on the ground and said, "But you also know that the most important thing for space pirates is the intelligence network . Our trophies can only be sold through the black market, too!
"Over the past hundreds of years, Black Spider Tower has risen up . The intelligence network and black market of Spider Den are both controlled by them . They are our eyes, ears, and mouths!
"It was not until one year ago that we learned that Black Spider Tower was a branch of the Temple of Immortals . The previous leader of Black Spider Tower is very likely the 'Black King', one of the four kings of the Temple of Immortals!
"Right now, our eyes, ears, and mouths are all in the Temple of Immortals' control . It is difficult for us to run our business without cooperating with the Temple of Immortals .
"Boss Bai, you have a lot of docks, crystal suits, and… possibly underground industries on Spider Den . Naturally, you can refuse to work with Black Spider Tower .
"But we are too poor and need to do a job every few days . We have to sell the stolen goods in exchange for resources . Without Black Spider Tower, our ears are deaf, and our eyes are blind . Our source of income will be cut off . How are we going to feed ourselves?
"Therefore, we were accidentally trapped by them . It is impossible to do without them now . We can only sell ourselves to the Temple of Immortals!"
