The Last Sentinel

"There are so many hero-level squads! I've never heard of [Raging Seas], [Winter Is Coming], [The Iron Tower Still Stands], or [Sunset Glow]!"

"Isn't it normal that you haven't heard of it? The Supreme Council has already had five official chairpersons! These four correspond exactly to four chairpersons!"

"I'm just curious, besides [Great Wall Watch], doesn't the East also have two hero-level powerhouses, [Fenglang Juxu] and [Wu Po Fengjiang]? Why don't these alien bastards include [Fenglang Juxu] and [Wu Po Fengjiang] in their list of powerhouses?"

Hua Xiaobai lowered his voice, "There's only one possibility! [Fenglang Juxu] and [Wu Po Fengjiang] are new-era hero-level powerhouses born after the 1999 Planet Defense War, while the other five appeared during the Planet Defense War! These alien bastards are very arrogant. They only recognize those human powerhouses who once crushed and beat them. They don't take those new generation hero-level powerhouses seriously."

Brother Eighty nodded, "That makes sense."

At this moment, the troublemaker in the bar continued speaking to the alien lads around him, "Gentlemen, Mr. Hughes has always treated us well. From 1999 until now, for nearly thirty years, he has provided us with food and drink and spared us from punishment. He has shown us the utmost kindness! Now is a time of crisis. As interstellar friends, it is time to lend a helping hand, help Mr. Hughes defeat the ambitions of [Great Wall Watch] and his apprentices, and preserve Mr. Hughes's position as Senate President!"

At this point, the troublemaker raised his arm and shouted, showing the momentum of a rebellion.

Looking at the other drinkers, each held their glass and remained silent.

Clearly, those present were not passionate individuals, but rather sophisticated egoists.

The reason you're all here is because you're interstellar criminals, and the biggest characteristic of interstellar criminals is selfishness.

Loyalty? Ha! Anyone who's been around knows that loyalty is worthless!

But staying silent all the time isn't a good solution!

At that moment, a hoarse, deep old voice echoed from the darkness, "Mr. Hughes is in trouble, and in principle we should lend a helping hand, but as the saying goes, a favor comes with a price."

Upon hearing this, the troublemaker became enraged, feeling his dignity had been challenged. He glared at the source of the voice in the darkness, "What do you mean? Have you forgotten Mr. Hughes's kindness to you?"

In the darkness, the old man continued, "I do not deny Mr. Hughes's kindness to us. I just want to clarify one point: the kindness Mr. Hughes gave us is not enough to buy our lives! There is so much sunshine, beaches, and delicious food on this planet, but what Mr. Hughes provided us with was the hardship of living on a cold polar island. Although there is no punishment, we are not happy living on this island."

"In other words, Hughes' offer wasn't enough! It wasn't enough for us to risk our lives for him!"

"Unless Hughes is willing to pay more!"

Upon hearing this, all the alien bastards in the bar perked up.

"That's right! Hughes only provides us with food and drink, nothing at all in terms of entertainment. And that's what he expects me to work my life for?"

"To put it bluntly, before I came to Terra, I lived a life of freeloading on every planet I visited. Nobody dared to charge me. I deserve the same treatment after coming to Terra, and it has nothing to do with Hughes's favors!"

"Hughes wants us brothers to do the work, so he'll have to pay us more!"

"Adding a small amount isn't enough, it has to be a large amount! We're criminals, and criminals' actions are tantamount to a riot, which will attract the attention of the Sabitians and the warden. We're taking such a huge risk to help him, and if he doesn't give us enough, it's disrespectful! He's using us as cannon fodder..."

The atmosphere in the bar instantly became chaotic.

In a corner of the crowd, Dian Wei looked suspiciously at his left side; Hua Xiaobai's spot was empty.

Dian Wei was about to speak when Eighty Brother pressed down on his shoulder.

Brother Eighty whispered, "Don't speak, Little White's up to no good!"

Dian Wei blinked. "That guy lurking in the shadows, playing a supporting role, is Xiao Bai? Holy crap, this kid really knows how to make a scene!"

Brother Eighty said, "Just watch the show."

At this moment, the troublemaker couldn't sit still any longer. Pointing at Hua Xiaobai, who was hiding in the shadows, he angrily shouted, "You keep talking about adding money, so let me ask you, if Mr. Hughes loses the Supreme Council election this time and loses his seat as Senate President, will the newly appointed [Great Wall Watch] be able to give us the life we ​​have now? I'm afraid he'll strictly enforce the prison regulations and send us to be tortured!"

The old man chuckled from the shadows, "Are you trying to scare me? We're discussing whether or not to help Hughes, not what the future holds! The future can't pay for the present, but the present can pay for the future. Hughes doesn't need to make empty promises to us! I'll say it again: I don't mind risking my life for Hughes, but the price must be satisfactory."

The troublemaker said, "Mr. Hughes would be very sad if he knew that you would say such things for your own selfish reasons, and you may not be able to continue to live a good life on this island in the future."

"Are you threatening me?" a deep voice rang out from the shadows. "I've become an interstellar criminal; the word 'coward' doesn't exist in my dictionary. I'm not afraid of your threats. I'll say it again: Hughes provides the money, we provide the lives. All I want is justice! This deal, in essence, is using Mr. Hughes' money to do Mr. Hughes' things. How can you call me selfish? If using your money to do your things is selfish, then using our lives to do your things is selfless? What a joke!"

At this point, the atmosphere in the bar suddenly exploded.

"That's right! Let Hughes come here himself! Without money, this can't be done!"

"Hughes doesn't think Homo sapiens are easy to deal with, does he?! The Terran Homo sapiens are a powerful race in the universe; they can even go toe-to-toe with the Sabite aliens! Going against their powerful beings is a huge risk of being wiped out! More money! No money, no deal!"

"Let Hughes come out and talk to us. Who do you think you are? This isn't about a little money; it's a matter of respecting our principles!"

"..."

The heated discussion turned into a riot. Seeing these interstellar criminals standing up, beer bottles in hand, the troublemakers dared not say another word and hurriedly walked outside, saying as they went, "Please don't get agitated, everyone. I will report this matter to Mr. Hughes as soon as possible. Rest assured, I will definitely give you all a suitable increase, ensuring your satisfaction!"

Inside the tavern, curses rang out incessantly, and numerous criminals were in a state of high excitement.

Unbeknownst to anyone, several dark figures slipped away quietly amidst the lively atmosphere, following closely behind the troublemaker as they left the tavern.
