Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 270 It’s hard to be a good person
The space pirates fully demonstrated what a textbook mob is.

When the news of Actus' death spread, the remaining crew members surrendered without any hesitation. They didn't even think about escaping, and they lined up to report to Coyote Twelve.

The control of the Fortress had been taken away, which meant that they had no chance of escaping the planet. If they ran away now, wouldn't that give the Chamber of Commerce a reason to shoot them?
They had just dropped a tactical nuclear bomb on the Gear Hotel not long ago, and the security personnel in the hotel are now eager to kill them.

But fortunately, the security personnel are good people, and the Chamber of Commerce is at least on the side of justice in the current public opinion environment.

Good people must abide by the law. Even if they want to punish evildoers, they must go through a series of trial processes. In order to ensure that they are treated correctly, they even have to send transport ships to escort them back to their respective star regions.

If this fell into the hands of other space pirates, it would be a relief to shoot them one by one. But if they met a captain like Arctus, they would probably have to go through a series of inhuman tortures before death.

There are still many good people in this universe!

The pirates secretly rejoiced.

Duan Mingyuan drove the Fortress away from the sky above the Mirage and docked it on the surface of the Mechanical Planet. The subsequent cleanup work was entirely handed over to Coyote Twelve and his security team. He has never had any interest in tedious cleanup work.

Coyote Twelve dispatched the hotel's security team to handcuff the pirates one by one.

They couldn't vent their anger directly, so they could only use some hidden strength and hit harder when handcuffing people, or "accidentally" hit the pirates' lower abdomen with their knees, causing them to grimace in pain.

But what made them unhappy was that they had to be careful when attacking so as not to leave obvious wounds.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Chamber of Commerce will send them to a nearby planet for trial. There is a planet in this galaxy that is specifically used to detain serious criminals."

Coyote Twelve lit up another cigar.

This seemed like a happy ending, but he felt really fucking depressed inside.

After Actus was completely defeated, the envoys of the Chamber of Commerce came hypocritically to deal with the aftermath. But in fact, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the reason why Oasis dared to bomb the Gear Hotel at this time was because it was instructed by the Chamber of Commerce. Not only did these culprits not receive the punishment they deserved, but they also pretended to act as messengers of justice.

Sincerely apologize to the directors of the Sixteen Star Summit, and promise them that these space pirates will be punished most severely.

The only good news is that Actus is dead and his remnants have lost their usefulness to the Chamber of Commerce, so the trial of the space pirates should be fair.

"They will be executed on the Prison Planet, or spend the rest of their lives there. Have you heard of that planet? It's a place used to detain serious criminals."

"heard about it."

When in Siyang City, Heya also mentioned this planet, along with the name Eisenberg-Adler. Heya hoped that he could get this person out of prison.

Duan Mingyuan never expected that a "god" who turned the entire planet into a "cocoon" would be interested in a human researcher.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

After hesitating for a moment, Coyote Twelve finally made up his mind, "After the Sixteen Star Summit is over, I plan to quit my job at the Chamber of Commerce."

What happened on the Mechanical Planet made him realize that there was no difference between the Flash Clan and that damn Universal Company. He had been wandering around in this universe for a long time, but ended up repeating the same mistakes.

If it weren't for the variable Duan Mingyuan that appeared this time, he would probably have died on this planet.

"That's a good thing."

Duan Mingyuan expressed his support.

There would be no good thing about being associated with the Chamber of Commerce, and his impression of the Shan people had long since fallen to the bottom.

But just as the space pirates said, he was a good man. Good people had to abide by laws and regulations, as well as various inter-galactic peace treaties. These treaties made it difficult for him to turn the hypocritical envoys of the Chamber of Commerce into some popular gadgets on the mechanical planet.

This made Duan Mingyuan question the so-called interstellar peace treaty.

These treaties could not protect the summit venue from nuclear bomb attacks by space pirates, but they did protect the pirates from being shot immediately after being defeated.

"But I told you last time that I'm almost 50 years old. It's very difficult for an unemployed person of my age to find a job again."

Coyote Twelve exhaled a smoke ring.

In fact, he has already made plans for his future life. He has been wandering alone in the universe for so many years, but he didn't expect that one day he would meet a group of people on the Mechanical Planet who were willing to accompany him to blow up the space pirate ships.

He asked, "I wonder if you guys are still hiring on board right now. Do you need a Cowboy Bebop to serve as security?"

The Fortress was a large ship, but the Blue Star delegation consisted of only a few people.

Coyote Twelve thought that instead of being manipulated by those interstellar forces, it would be better to integrate into a team that he could get along with and start his retirement life.

He has fought in wars all his life, so he is more than qualified to be a ship's security officer.

"Are you sure?"

Duan Mingyuan certainly welcomes a talent like Coyote Twelve to join the ship, but from the perspective of career planning, job hopping usually means jumping to a higher position, and at the very least, you will be replaced. Coyote Twelve jumped directly back to the Novice Village. "Let me make it clear in advance that Blue Star's space travel business is still at a very early stage, and its scale cannot be compared with that of chambers of commerce and companies."

"That's not important. What's important is that you won't leave your crew on a strange planet to die when you encounter danger."

"That's natural."

Duan Mingyuan remained silent.

As a sword-wielding warrior, he would not allow any tragedy like the Queen of the Zerg to happen in reality.

"Everything about the salary can be negotiated, but since you are the deputy captain, there is one thing I must mention to you."

Coyote Twelve has already put himself in the shoes of a crew member, and is thinking about future interstellar voyages from the perspective of a crew member.

"You should know that interstellar travel is boring and wears down one's will. Your ship was very small before, but now it has been replaced with a larger one. Many supporting facilities should also be updated."

"For example?"

"For example, I think the Fortress should have a bar and some hot chicks on board so we can always have some fun."

"What do you want to get on board?"

"Girl, you have a hot body..."

Coyote Twelve raised his hands and gestured his curvy figure, but when he turned his head, he was met with September's sharp eyes.

Obviously, the question just now was also asked by September.

"I mean."

Coyote Twelve coughed lightly and said seriously, "We should build a library on the Fortress, so that when we are bored, we can go to the library to read books to cultivate our sentiments."
