Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 263 Gambling
The Robot Star is alive, at least on the surface.

When the morning light came to the planet again, the residents from all over the Mechanical Star left the town. They could not remember how long it had been since they had seen the lake and the forest. Some people excitedly took off their clothes and jumped into the lake. When the cold water covered their necks, they were finally sure that these were not dreams.

So a new problem arises.

Why did the “cocooning” stop?
Who prevented the planet from being destroyed?
Everyone is looking for the answer to this question, including the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce.

They finally found Duan Mingyuan from the Mechanical King's Court, but were told that he was resting. When they wanted to go in to check the situation, they were forced back by a ferocious-looking fox demon.

The information sent back from the royal court put the Chamber of Commerce into a difficult decision. They didn't know whether this was good news or not.

They believed that the rest the fox demon mentioned should refer to a "weak" state. Although they had no way of knowing what means Duan Mingyuan used, preventing a planet from becoming a "cocoon" would be an unimaginable drain even for a transcendent. This meant that Duan Mingyuan was most likely in an unprecedentedly weak state.

They may never get such a golden opportunity to get rid of the "big devil" in the future.

Although this fox demon looks ferocious, it is not impossible to deal with.

This gave them a new plan - if they could get rid of Duan Mingyuan when he was at his weakest, they could also take the credit for preventing the Mechanical Star from becoming a "cocoon", which would bring strong public support for the merger of the Chamber of Commerce and the company.

As of this morning, the credit remains unclaimed.

The only question is how weak the Transcendent is and how much combat power he has left in his extremely weak state.

This is a gamble.

If the bet is won, the winner takes everything.

Fame, power and hope, no one will be able to threaten the Semites in the future.

The Semites are all born gamblers, and no one of them is willing to miss such a gamble. However, before taking action, they must minimize the risk of failure, or in other words, transfer the risk to others.

So, on this morning, everyone in the Gear Hotel was awakened by a loud roar.

They saw a crack appear in the sky above their heads, and a huge dark shadow was tearing through the sky. When they saw the skull symbol that was full of ominous meaning, their faces suddenly changed.

Space pirates are coming.

First there was the curse of flesh and blood and the "cocooned" planet. Before they could even catch their breath, they were faced with the most notorious force in the entire universe.

As soon as they appeared above the city, the space pirates greeted all the board members in the Gear Hotel - with a miniature tactical nuclear bomb.

Security personnel immediately activated the Gear Hotel's defense system. Although the defense system prevented the entire hotel from being destroyed instantly, the aftermath of the explosion and the spreading heat wave caused a large number of casualties in an instant.

"These bastards!"

Coyote Twelve gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that the Chamber of Commerce would actually turn against each other and instigate the pirates active on the surface of the Mechanical Star to attack the Mechanical Throne.

He knew very well that Oasis was an organization supported by the Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes. They were nominally space adventurers, but in reality they were a group of greedy robbers who plundered on the Mechanical Planet in the name of legality.

This building is for the directors from the Sixteen Star Summit. Each of them is an important figure on their planet. If they join hands to expose the actions of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce, it is bound to have a great impact on public opinion. The moment the space pirates unscrupulously dropped miniature tactical nuclear bombs at the Gear Hotel, Coyote Twelve understood the Chamber of Commerce's intentions.

He had never intended to let any member of parliament leave Jiqiao Star from the beginning.

Originally they were supposed to die from the Curse of Flesh and Blood, but now they are space pirates.

The hotel was filled with shrill screams, making Coyote Twelve's head buzz.

But for them, the battle was one-sided. These space pirates didn't need to send ground combat troops. They only needed to drop a few more tactical nuclear bombs to defeat the defense system of the Gear Hotel. By then, everyone in the hotel would be dead. The worse news was that the queen of the Mechanical Planet had passed away, and the defense system in the "Mirage" was in an unmanned state.

Coyote Twelve stared at the flagship that blocked out the sky. At this moment, he deeply felt that the ability of Cowboy Bebop was limited.

When he defected from the company, he had not yet been hired as a regular employee, and the committee had not equipped him with armor strong enough to penetrate the flagship. His current body modifications were all custom-made by someone on a neutral planet using his own salary and the money he saved from solving commissions.

He didn't trust the Chamber of Commerce's technology, and allowing the Chamber of Commerce to transform his body was equivalent to handing his life into the other party's hands.

Just like now, if he was using Chamber of Commerce technology, the top executives could just press a button to completely shut him down.

Coyote Twelve found the Blue Star delegation from the crowd. It was said that the young man in front of him was the prince of Blue Star. He directly stated his purpose, "Have you heard of boarding warfare?"

"……heard about it."

The Third Prince heard a piece of bad news from Jiu Yue not long ago - Teacher Ming Yuan slept very soundly, and even the sound of the explosion of a miniature tactical nuclear bomb failed to wake him up. Perhaps it was because preventing himself from becoming a "cocoon" had consumed too much of his energy.

In other words, before Teacher Mingyuan wakes up, they have to find a way to deal with the space pirates on their own.

"That's great. I need to borrow your aircraft to get close to their spaceship. As long as I can get up there smoothly, I can find a way to shoot them down."

Coyote Twelve told his plan. Although it was very risky, it was the only feasible option at the moment.

When there is a huge disparity in firepower between the two sides, retreating to defense often leads to a dead end.

"The teacher did save some life energy on the Ranger for emergency use."

The third prince said.

only……

The difference in realm between the two sides is too great.

With his cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, can he really shake the powerful man above his head who uses tactical nuclear bombs as weapons?
....................................

At the same time, Duan Mingyuan returned to the original place again.

This is a white space. He is in the center of the space, with a door in each direction.

He tried to go through all the doors, but behind each door were the same rooms and the same doors.

It was a pity that he didn't see September in his dream. The only people who accompanied him here were a few dummies without facial features.

But just now, something unusual happened in this space—the ground shook violently several times, as if someone from outside had shaken the space he was in.

This seemed to be a puzzle left for him by the Mechanical Star, or perhaps it was revenge for him preventing the "cocoon" transformation.

Only those who solve the puzzle can get out of this space.

After the shaking stopped for a moment, the space underwent new changes - eyes and a mouth grew on the blank face of the dummy, revealing a malicious smile.

"Everyone you save will die."

The dummy laughed, "And you'll never be able to get out of this place."
