Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 212 The hidden corner

Xinghe's words were both unexpected and reasonable. Being in a place like Siyang City, if the stationmaster had not been more alert, he would probably have become one of the many missing persons.

After all, on a planet where evil is rampant, anyone could go missing.

Seeing that Duan Mingyuan did not respond, Xinghe continued, "The former Imperial Hunting Court knew the special situation in Siyang City and would not easily provoke people from the Chamber of Commerce. If you can't make a decision, why not let me make the decision for you? Give up Xing and Zheng Liu and pretend that you have never met them. After helping the police issue the announcement, return to Yunlong City and have a good sleep, and everything will be over."

Someone once said something similar to Duan Mingyuan.

That was the security captain of the Yunlong City Universal Company branch. During the process of escorting the "cargo", he advised him not to take these things to heart and to have a good sleep after returning home. What mattered most was getting a lot of money. After more than ten years, he would leave this planet with a large sum of money, and everything that happened on the Blue Star would have nothing to do with him.

Many people do this.

"Stationmaster, what you just said was very dangerous. I can pretend that I didn't hear it."

Duan Mingyuan said.

If the person who heard these words was a young man whose blood was still hot, the liaison station in Siyang City would probably have suffered a severe blow.

However, Duan Mingyuan is no longer the passionate young man he was back then. After going to school and working in an orderly manner and experiencing the process of institutionalization step by step, he realized that the security captain and Xinghe are just part of the entire system. Even without them, there will be thousands of people to take over their positions.

It’s just like when the hover car crashed into the company building, making this explosive news hit the headlines and sparking widespread discussion in society.

But after the discussion, everything remained the same. Even though the Imperial Hunting Court was destroyed, the "trade chain" of the life science department did not disappear.

It was not until Bai Kou's death and the appointment of a new director that changes were brought to the stagnant Yunlong City.

"With just a few words, you decided the life of a young hunter from the association and an outstanding young police officer."

"But this is the current situation in Siyang City."

Xinghe said, "I'm not the one who wants them dead. The only decision I can make is to let them die, or to let more people die with them."

"Then count me in. After all, I am also one of the insiders to them. I may make the underground exchange public at any time. Once I do so, the influence I will bring will be much greater than that of a new member of the association or a young police officer."

Xinghe didn't respond, and he didn't know how to respond.

Now that the newly appointed leader of the Imperial Hunting Court has said so much, he no longer has room to mediate.

This is clearly an attempt to stand in opposition to the Chamber of Commerce.

A simple decision could lead to the destruction of the entire Siyang City Association, and many hunters would be buried with him.

If it were the previous leader of the Imperial Hunting Court, he would never make such a blind decision. They have always been able to maintain good relations with all parties and get the best of both worlds. This is why the association can survive in this complex society.

"Can I ask why?"

After a long moment, Xinghe asked, "Just for two friends you just met on the first day?"

“No, it’s to follow my heart.”

Duan Mingyuan recalled the teller he met at the guild registration office on the day he reactivated the Royal Hunting Court. Although the hunter group had disappeared for a long time, some people still remembered their contributions. At least in the eyes of many people, hunters were like knights.

But in fact, the former Yu Karin was not as outstanding as people imagined. His cooperation with the company led to internal strife, which led to the burning of Yu Karin's headquarters and gave birth to the terrorist organization Wang Xu.

"I am not interested in moving between various forces, but I respect the efforts you have made as the stationmaster over the years."

This bar is proof of that.

Long after the fall of the Imperial Hunting Court, he heard that Xinghe had been maintaining liaison work in Siyang City and doing his best to provide help to hunters who had nowhere to go.

So Duan Mingyuan thought of a way to have the best of both worlds. "Tell me the location of the underground exchange. This way, you will be handing me, a direct insider, over to them. If I follow Master Xing's footsteps, then for you and the Siyang City Association, there is no more important token of allegiance than this."

"But you have to know that the Chamber of Commerce is different from any force you have encountered so far."

Xinghe's face also turned gloomy.

He had heard some stories about Duan Mingyuan from Dajiang, including his training of new recruits and teaching at Yunhai Academy.

Perhaps the new leader of the Imperial Hunting Court is an expert in the field of evil spirit research, but what he is facing now is far beyond the scope of evil spirits, and even beyond the scope of this planet.

"Siyang City is just a tiny part of their power. They hired a mercenary organization that is famous throughout the universe."

Xinghe had only heard of the reputation of those mercenaries.

"Those people have experienced interstellar wars and fought on cocooned planets. They are strong men who have walked out of true purgatory. Compared with them, the deeds we have experienced in dealing with some evil spirits on our homeland are just a drop in the ocean."

Xinghe thought Duan Mingyuan would back out, but the latter didn't care and said, "Isn't this better? If I am killed by them, with this letter of surrender, they might support you to become the next leader of the Imperial Hunting Court."

"This joke is not funny."

Xinghe emphasized his tone.

He was not joking, so he hoped to find some emotions similar to his in Duan Mingyuan's eyes.

For example, the fear and awe of the Chamber of Commerce and those space mercenaries.

After all, the Hunter Association is just a civilian organization on Blue Star, and it has not been established for a long time. In comparison, the Chamber of Commerce in Siyang City has a much longer history. They appeared almost from the moment the company's flagship landed over Blue Star.

But compared with Universal Company, their style of operation is much more secretive.

They seem to prefer hiding in the shadows, controlling the city in an unknown way.

"This is no joke, I'm sure they will welcome my arrival very much because I feel like I share the same thoughts with them on this matter."

Duan Mingyuan said, "We don't like to leave unfinished business, but hope to solve the problem once and for all."
