On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

These words were true, but they did not stir up any reluctance in the crowd.

Having come this far, having traversed most of the Devil's Footprints, they naturally wouldn't give up so easily just because of Kalia's words.

Ye Han remained unmoved.

Bai Xue then remembered something else and changed the subject: "By the way, we encountered some unkillable creatures on our way here. If we broke them, they would reassemble themselves within seconds. Kalia, do you know what those things are?"

Kalia's expression turned serious: "Those are undead creatures unique to this star system. They can't be killed, they can't be eradicated, they're everywhere like locusts, and they have almost no intelligence, they just swarm and bite."

"When we first arrived, we were also tricked. We spent a lot of effort breaking the barriers that had been erected, but they were put back together in just a few seconds."

"We later learned that the main way the people in this galaxy deal with them is to restrict their activity and then throw them into black holes. This is also the only way to completely get rid of them."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

It seems that the method they stumbled upon turned out to be the most correct solution, saving them a lot of trouble.

After finishing discussing business, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

The conversation ranged from black holes to the undead, and then from the natives of the Devil's Footprints to the current state of their businesses. After a couple of rounds of drinks, they enjoyed the conversation immensely.

Kalia knew this star system very well, and gave a brief overview of the region in just a few words.

However, this harmonious atmosphere did not last long.

A piercing shout suddenly rang out from outside the high-rise building, its clear sound carrying into the top-floor office: "All of you from the Eternity, get out here!"

"Especially those outsiders who started a fight on the street just now, don't think you can hide inside and get away with it! Anyone who dares to touch my people will face the consequences today, and they won't leave MagnetCloud Star alive!"

Kalia's expression changed, and he pulled up the surveillance footage.

Dozens of people stood in the square downstairs, along with a large number of armed robots, their cannons pointed at the building.

The streets were packed with onlookers, whispering and pointing, clearly drawn by the scene.

He turned to Ye Han and asked, "Did you guys mess with someone you shouldn't have? Should I take care of this?"

Ye Han slowly put down the cup in his hand, the bottom of the cup tapping on the table with a soft sound.

Besides those few scoundrels, who else could it be?

"Don't be impatient. I'll go out and take care of things so that no one else will cause trouble later."

Ye Han walked out of the building's main entrance.

A large crowd had already gathered outside the door.

The leader was the burly man Ye Han had thrown out earlier. Now, he was bruised and swollen, missing a front tooth, and his speech was slurred. But with a group of helpers behind him, he was much more confident than before.

Outside this vacuum zone, the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, completely surrounding the square.

Ye Han sighed softly, "I'm truly fed up with people like you."

"You think your face isn't hurting enough? You want to come closer for me to hit you, huh? You think bringing more people will make your face hurt less?"

The leader's face turned ashen with anger at his words: "You still dare to talk back! Do you know whose territory this is? Today I'm going to make you kneel on the ground and sing 'Conquer' for me."

"Since we're already here, let's all come at once. I'm in a hurry," Ye Han said dismissively.

The leader's facial muscles twitched violently a few times; despite bringing so many people, he still instinctively felt some fear.

"Charge him! Turn him into a sieve!"

The moment the order was given, all the robots in mid-air opened fire simultaneously.

Energy beams, kinetic projectiles, and miniature missiles—all sorts of attacks were unleashed.

Then, all the attacks stopped at the same instant.

It stopped in mid-air.

It's difficult to make even half a step forward.

Ye Han controlled all the attacks, changing their direction and making them all turn 180 degrees.

It was more than ten times faster than it had come, and it swept backwards towards the army of robots hovering in mid-air.

The sky exploded.

The explosions burst into flames in mid-air one after another, like a string of lit firecrackers, dense and short.

Broken metal parts fell like rain, clanging and clattering as they hit the ground.

one strike.

The robot army in mid-air was completely wiped out.

A collective gasp erupted from the crowd, followed by an even deeper silence.

Ye Han quickly dealt with the burly men who had come on strong and aggressive, leaving them sprawled haphazardly on the ground.

The leader, his face bruised and swollen, knelt on the ground: "You've conquered me just like that, cutting off all my escape routes..."

"Alright, stop singing. You sing terribly." Ye Han continued, "I'll just ask you one question: is this over or not?"

The man trembled, his tone hardening: "My...my father is a general on Magnet Cloud Star, wielding military power! If you dare touch me, my father won't let you off! Then you and all your women will be caught, none of you will escape."

After he finished speaking, his chest heaved violently, and a glimmer of light rekindled in his last remaining good eye.

That expression was like the desperate hope of a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

He was certain that Ye Han wouldn't dare to touch him.

"I didn't realize there was such a background."

The man thought he was scared, and a smug smile was about to appear on his lips.

The next second, the collar suddenly tightened.

Ye Han reached out and grabbed the man by the collar, lifting him up from the ground: "Come on, let's go to your house. I'll personally visit your father."

A few minutes later.

Ye Han left from the ruins.

His brows were furrowed with a relaxed expression, and he seemed much lighter.

Behind them, deep within the ruins, came two voices rising and falling.

"I told you not to cause trouble outside! Of all people to mess with, you had to pick on this scoundrel! Now you've ruined everything, you good-for-nothing!"

"Dad, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I'll never do it again!"

One was cursing with great force, the other was crying his heart out; the father-son duet echoed endlessly above the ruins, creating an oddly comical scene.

Ye Han listened to the commotion behind him.

You know what?

This feeling is really great.

When Kalia returned to the spacious office, he was still in a daze.

Ye Han casually walked back to the sofa and sat down: "Where were we talking about?"

Kalia's Adam's apple bobbed.

He saw everything that happened downstairs just now very clearly, and he recognized the person.

He is the only son of a powerful general on Magnet Cloud Star. His strength is not that great, but his connections are intricate and his influence is far-reaching. Most local forces would avoid him, making him an absolutely untouchable figure.

As a result, Ye Han swiftly eliminated both the person and their backer.

He looked at Ye Han's calm face and composed himself.

Oh well, that's how everyone on Earth is.

He silently thought to himself, "Wasn't Merlin the same kind of person who would cause a huge mess back then? I'm used to it. Making a fuss about it would only make me look like I've never seen the world."
