Speechless, Han Xiao put the communicator away and thought on it .

Why is Ames going to Bloodshed Land? To make trouble?

Malekith had once said that Ames had some issues with Bloodshed Land . The Tyrant had taken one of her officers, and they had battled furiously, ending with Ames’ loss . Han Xiao felt that Ames was not going there with good intentions this time .

She insisted on bringing me . Does she want me to assist her and stop the Tyrant’s officers?

Han Xiao’s lips twitched . He was now Floating Dragon’s strongest officer . Back then, Ames did not have anyone whom she could use under her command . Now that she finally had someone who could fight, was she going to make full use of him?

There were plenty of strong people under the Tyrant . The eight Grade A Vanguard Officials were just the tip of the iceberg; Vanguard Officials were not the only position for their high-ranking officers . If Ames only took him along to Bloodshed Land, of course, she would end up being fine, but the same could not be said for him .

I hope we are not going there to fight… Han Xiao had a slight headache .

Hila had watched their conversation from the start till the end . Confused, she asked, “What kind of place is Bloodshed Land?”

“That’s a gathering ground for a group of muscular men . It’s just a dangerous place,” Han Xiao replied unhappily .

As Ames had told him to hurry up, Han Xiao did not delay any longer .

He found Reynold and told him to stay in Base No . 1 . Then, he found Sylvia and told her to take care of the other issues . This was just standard procedure; the one who was actually managing Base No . 1 was Phillip, and Han Xiao could monitor the situation remotely . Hence, there were not that many things to say . The Black Star Army’s business could carry on as usual even though he was not in the base .

Settling these issues only took half an hour . Han Xiao gathered Hila and Aurora, who had now changed into new, neat clothes, and the three of them boarded the Blacklight Stealth, which was parked in the hangar .

Woo woo!

The rooftop gate of the hangar opened, and the anti-gravity stabilizer below the Blacklight Stealth activated, emitting a dark blue light .

The spaceship took off vertically, and a purple flame shot out from the thrusters .

In the blink of an eye, the spaceship turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky .

…

The Blacklight Stealth exited hyperdrive, slowly caught up with Floating Dragon Island, and docked .

“So, this is Floating Dragon Island…”

Disembarking from the spaceship, Aurora looked left and right curiously . She saw the brutes gathered on the dock immediately, who all looked fearsome . They were clearly not good people .

The brutes turned around and looked at them .

Hila saw this and quickly caught up with Aurora . She stood beside her and looked around at the brutes with alertness in her eyes, like a lioness protecting its child .

“Don’t be so nervous . Although Floating Dragon allows galactic pirates, scavengers, and wanted criminals to stop here, no fighting is allowed… Er, not usually of course . Ahem, anyway, they won’t bite . ”

As Han Xiao spoke, he walked over to the two of them, then wrapped his arm around Hila shoulders and looked around . “Hey, what are you people still looking at?”

The brutes then all turned and looked away, continuing with their business . Han Xiao’s ride was too famous; no one wanted to mess with Black Star, on Floating Dragon Island especially .

Hila glanced at Han Xiao then looked at the hand on her shoulder and moved her body uncomfortably .

“My friend, you’ve returned again . ”

This time, Wilsander’s voice came from nearby . He had gotten the news long ago and had been waiting to welcome Han Xiao .

What Han Xiao did not expect was that Jenny was there, standing right behind Wilsander .

He greeted Wilsander before looking at Jenny . He chuckled and said, “You’re here, too, huh? Work has been busy, I suppose; you look gaunter than the last time I saw you . ”

Without any change to her expression, Jenny snatched a weapon from a guard and started firing at Han Xiao like a maniac .

Bang bang bang!

Han Xiao let the small-caliber laser land on his body without moving . This could not hurt him at all .

At the side, Aurora’s jaw dropped from watching this . Hila clenched her teeth, looking like she was wondering whether to stop it or not . Wilsander was shaking his head and sighing .

Ka ka ka!

When the firearm overheated and could not continue firing anymore, Jenny finally threw it away and coldly said, “Ames is waiting for you in the palace . ”

Then, she turned and instantly walked away .

She knew that she could not hurt Han Xiao; she just wanted to vent her frustration .

As the Head Butler, Jenny had been as busy as a bee recently . Being very understanding, Han Xiao did not mind letting Jenny enjoy herself for a moment .

Anyway, this would not affect his actions . He would still expand as he planned to . Jenny’s relaxed time was over and never coming back, just like her youth .

Han Xiao patted his clothes, unconcerned . He turned to look at Hila and said, “Let’s go . I’ll take you to see Ames . Memorize the roads on the way . ”

Speechless, the two of them looked at each other before nodding .

After bidding farewell to Wilsander, they went all the way to the palace at the center of the floating island .

The dragon bone throne floated in the palace . Ames was sitting on it, resting her head on her hand, and watching the three of them walk into the palace . She sighed and said, “Black Star, you’re so slow, only bringing them here after a few months . ”

Han Xiao did not agree or disagree . Hila and Aurora bowed as a greeting .

Ames controlled her force field, lowering the height of the throne, and landed in front of the three of them . She smiled and said, “Alright, you will be my students from now on . You can call me teacher . ”

“Teacher,” the two of them replied .

Ames was very pleased by that . Her smile became even more gentle . This was what she had once called Aesop . Now that she had her own students, it felt very special .

“Although our Esper abilities are different, I can teach you methods to develop yours using my experience, helping you to make use of your potential,” Ames said gently .

Hila nodded solemnly . “Okay, when do we start?”

She was a training maniac, and with such a strong teacher, she could not wait to start training .

However, Ames shook her head and said, “Not now . I want you guys to go somewhere with me . ”

Han Xiao’s eyebrows twitched . “Bloodshed Land?”

“Yes, all three of you are coming with me . ”

She’s bringing Hila and Aurora too? Then it seems like we’re not going there to fight… Han Xiao was relieved .

This was good news . He did not want to mess with the force of another Beyond Grade A out of nowhere .

However, to confirm Ames’ intention, Han Xiao still asked, “That’s Heber’s territory . I heard there were problems between you and him . Why are we going?”

Ames’ smile became dimmer as she slowly said, “The Tyrant is an ambitious guy . We don’t get along . He even once stole someone talented from me, but this time, we are not going there to cause trouble .

“Every once in a while, the Tyrant hosts an enormous party . He sends out invitation letters to the important people of the Shattered Star Ring . Almost everyone shows him respect and attends . There are high ranking government officials of Star Cluster civilizations, representatives of large organizations, and sometimes even emissaries of the three Universal Civilizations . Of course, the Beyond Grade As of Shattered Star Ring are invited, including me… Humph, despite that guy being a pain in the neck, he is a very unpredictable man . Back then, I battled through his headquarters, but the next party, the Tyrant still invited me .

“Anyway, the Tyrant’s parties have continued for many years . It has become an unspoken tradition between large organizations . This is a chance to make connections for many important people . The Tyrant has the ability to be the host . At the party, many important people will communicate and discuss various topics . A large amount of information will be leaked out every single party . The discussions between these people during the party decide the future developments of the Shattered Star Ring to quite a large extent . ”

So that’s what this is… Han Xiao realized what was going on .

Simply put, the Tyrant hosted a Shattered Star Ring party, which people attended to make friends, chitchat, gossip, and all that . The difference was, the attendees all held very important positions, which, when all combined, could even decide the future of Shattered Star Ring .

Hosting this kind of gathering and turning it into a tradition for the high-class organizations… the Tyrant was indeed ambitious . His goal was massive .

“So, are you going to attend the Tyrant’s party?”

Han Xiao was surprised . Floating Dragon had always stayed neutral . Plus, considering Ames’ personality, she did not seem to care about this sort of thing .

“Of course I’m going!” Ames’ voice became deeper . “I don’t want to look so petty!”

What? What does this have to do with petty? Han Xiao was puzzled .

He then tried to think from Ames’ perspective and finally realized what Ames meant .

I hate his guts . How dare he invite me to join his party! To show he’s generous? F*ck, did he invite me because he thinks I won’t go? If I don’t go, doesn’t that show that I’m petty? Go! I must go! I’m generous and awesome, why would I be afraid of going!

To Han Xiao, he thought this guess was about at least ninety percent right . This seemed like the kind of thing Ames would think .

Then why bring me? Oh, because the Tyrant has so many strong people under his command, so Ames doesn’t want to lose on that front . That’s why she’s taking me there!

At least we’re not going there to make trouble… Han Xiao was a little puzzled and could only comfort himself this way . “When does the party start?”

“There’s still some time . We will leave tomorrow, heading straight toward Bloodshed Land’s headquarters . ”

Bloodshed Land was located in the Seoul Star Cluster . If the Shattered Star Ring could be described in a flat 2D map, the middle would be the most dangerous, unstable cluster, filled with wormholes appearing and disappearing at random, connected to all places in the universe .

On the map, one side would be the edge of the known universe, beyond which was the unknown part of the universe that was unexplored .

The other side would be the tunnels toward other Star Fields that cover astronomical distances of the unpopulated desolate universe . That was how Risda had arrived, traveling through Star Fields for a very long time from another Star Field .

Surrounding the wormhole cluster were ten or so Star Clusters, all divided and controlled by the seven Star Cluster Civilizations of the Shattered Star Ring .

The Taralam Star Cluster was the closest to the wormhole cluster . It was plagued with scavengers . When Han Xiao was doing the Chen Xing missions, he had gone there once .

Between the Colton Star Cluster and Seoul Star Cluster was a desolate area . It could almost be considered their border .

On the other side of the Seoul Star Cluster was the largest Star Cluster, the Setin Star Cluster . Seoul was in the middle of Setin and Colton; it was the second smallest Star Cluster in the Shattered Star Ring .

In terms of government, the Star Cluster Civilization that ruled Seoul was called the Klent Kingdom, and the Star Cluster Civilization that ruled Colton was the Purple Crystal Civilization . These two civilizations coexisted peacefully . They had built many large Stargates in each other’s territory . Godora’s Stargate had been built by the Purple Crystal Civilization .

The Tyrant’s Bloodshed Land was the Klent Kingdom’s VIP . With a Star Cluster Civilization behind them, the Tyrant’s party represented both the influence of a Beyond Grade A and the position of a Star Cluster Civilization . Hence, so many people would attend .

“So, we’re going to the Seoul Star Cluster, right?” Han Xiao sighed . “Take my spaceship then . ”

Smiling, Ames said, “That’s exactly what I thought . ”
