Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Moreover, Heda has been in the position of Second-Level Court Envoy of the War Court for over a hundred years, which is clearly superior to Ella, who usually slacks off while following Anran around.

"This situation is getting a bit bad."

"Heda has a fiery temper. If it were any other star field ruler with a better temper, they might have just met and the matter would have been over."

"Hey……"

In the midst of the heated discussion, the businessman who had sold the broadcast signal suddenly sighed.

He never imagined that this fight, which started with debt collection, would escalate into this way.

Heda arrived too quickly, and actually blocked An Ran's way.

If I had known this would happen...

"You'll have to pay more!"

He felt a pang of pain in his flesh.

But the deal was already done, and he didn't dare to try to extort money from anyone else.

Why would you needlessly anger a large corporation? Wouldn't that cut off your own business opportunities?

The merchant cried.

Meanwhile, the media group's top executives were all smiles, and they were all talking about it.

"Star Domain Rulers rarely show their faces, let alone two Star Domain Rulers fighting. Hurry up and rent out advertising space, quick."

"Last time, we only got a taste of the soup in the battle between the Controller and the Lord of the Night. This time, it's finally our turn to eat the meat."

"Please, let's fight! Please, we have to fight!"

The media conglomerate doesn't care what the fight between Heda and Ella represents.

Internal strife within the exiled empire?

Will the Eternal Star Road be overjoyed because of this?

That's none of their business.

Only when a conflict erupts will this hot topic explode; only hot topics are what they pursue.

The death of one or two star field rulers will not affect the balance of power between the Exiled Empire and the Eternal Star Road.

Most viewers didn't think that much about it.

Driven by a desire to stir up trouble, the comments section was filled with—

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Don't talk to me about considering the bigger picture, or about hurting our loved ones and pleasing our enemies. I'll say it again: Don't be a coward, just fight! Sit down and negotiate? That's out of the question!"

"..."

An Ran's lips twitched slightly.

She turned her gaze back to Heda.

This guy... I can't see through his interface either.

It's unclear just how big the gap is between her and Ella.

Unable to assess the opponent's strength, An Ran dared not act rashly.

It was Ciqiya who stepped forward first, and through Anran's communicator, "Virginia's" voice rang out on the public channel.

"Heda, are you really going to make your move here?"

Ok?

Heda, who had been staring at Ella, suddenly turned her head and looked at An Ran.

“Virginia?” Heda asked tentatively.

Tsykia said, "That's right, it's me."

"So, what do you want to say?" Heda crossed her arms, not launching an attack immediately.

Ciqiya continued, "Anran and Ella are now both members of the Exiled Empire. Aren't you afraid that taking action against them for a less-than-honorable promise will discourage those who intend to join the Exiled Empire?"

"Oh?" Heda raised an eyebrow. "Are you warning me?"

"..."

Ciqiya rubbed her forehead.

This guy is just like the rumors say.

Seeing that Tsykia did not answer immediately, Heda sneered, "What, are you admitting it? Or are you considering how to bring in someone even more powerful to suppress me?"

Ah shit.

Ciqiya was so angry she was practically spitting fire.

In other words, she's not currently in the Tyrens Star Sector, otherwise she would definitely jump out and beat Heda up.

She suppressed her anger and said, "As a Star Domain Ruler, you actually took action against a Star Killer yourself. Heda, you really have the nerve to do that."

Heda scoffed, "Heh, I didn't strike first. Before you say that, think about how you dealt with the Full Metal Cult. You actually had a Star Domain Ruler wipe out the Full Metal Cult's headquarters. Haha..."

Heda laughed heartily, her mockery impossible to conceal.

only……

The expressions on the faces of everyone around her turned strange, and Tsukiya remained silent for a moment.

Apart from Heda's laughter, the public channel was deathly silent.

Heda gradually quieted down her laughter.

She also sensed that something was wrong.

what happened?

She glanced at the Pope, who quickly turned his head away.

I'd better not say anything.

An Ran kept her mouth tightly shut.

She was afraid that if she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks, she would turn Heda into an irreconcilable enemy.

After a long while, Ciqi's voice rang out: "Looks like you came here without knowing anything about the situation, you didn't even watch the news, sigh—"

Ciqiya let out a long sigh.

Heda frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Just ask anyone and you'll know." Tsykia seemed to have no intention of paying attention to Heda.

At this moment, their feelings were reversed.

Heda flashed directly in front of the Pope.

No one heard what the two of them said, but some things could be gleaned from Hedda's changing expressions.

Star Domain Ruler?

No, no, no, Ella doesn't even need to lift a finger. Anran alone can crush the Full Metal Cult.

Heda angrily flung the Pope away.

"waste."

After uttering a curse, Heda immediately connected to the internet and began watching the news replay.

Heda disliked Virginia, since their strengths were similar and they were often compared.

Moreover, Virginia made a name for herself shortly after joining the Exiled Empire, becoming the focus of attention at the Exiled Empire's summit.

This made Heda, who had been relegated to being a spectator, secretly unhappy.

Heda was even more furious after losing face in front of Virginia this time.

"emmm..."

An Ran looked down at her bracelet.

She had a premonition that she was about to be tricked by Tsykya.

You came here to be a peacemaker, so how did you end up becoming a sarcastic critic?

"Should we run away now?" Anran said to Ella in the special channel.

Ella nodded silently.

She listened to Anran.

Just as An Ran was about to make a move, Heda raised his head.

"..."

It seems this approach won't work.

An Ran temporarily abandoned her plan to run away.

She wasn't sure how long Heda would have to wait, so she simply opened the forum.

With this swipe, An Ran came across a trending post related to her.

The most replied-to post in the world forum within 1 hour —

Why do I feel like I've seen this Hedda before?

[The Wilderness Hunter]: That was two or three days ago, in the area of ​​the shipwreck in the planetary graveyard. I remember it was in a temporary tavern called [Caroline].

[Vitamin deficiency]: Now that you mention it, I remember now, but I saw it at the trade market next to Caroline.

【UNO】: I'm going to look through the photos I took a few days ago.

Sodium chloride: I think I've seen it before.

[Jiangbei War God]: Here's the video, take a look and see if it's the same person.
