Poverty makes me capable of anything.

But no matter how well they hide, they can't escape the scrutiny of the planning map.

Markus knew that Enron and Eternal Starway were in conflict.

They also knew that Anran had outwardly pledged allegiance to the Exiled Empire.

If this blueprint were given to Anran, it would certainly elevate her status in the Exiled Empire.

This is good news for both Enron and the company that has sided with Enron.

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Marcus began replicating the star path map.

This process did not last long.

As Marcus stepped out of the building, satisfied with the plans, it suddenly became alert.

The number that came was 015.

The guy was looking around furtively as he walked, as if afraid of being discovered.

Marcus held his breath and minimized his presence.

well.

It was not discovered.

The next step is to follow up and see what tricks 015 is up to.

In front of the equipment, Marcus was astonished to find 015 doing what he had just done not long ago—

Copy the star path planning map.

"Has this guy secretly sided with someone else as well?"

Marcus's round eyes were fixed intently on 015.

Well, it doesn't really have the standing to criticize 015.

Then it saw 015 set off with a copy of the star route map.

It walked to the intersection.

Suddenly, they noticed 017 sneaking over.

"..."

015 flew swiftly toward Markus's hiding place.

then……

Behind the stone pillars in front of the building.

They met.

Oops.

015's expression changed slightly.

Since Marcus is here, he must have already discovered what it just did.

If Marcus smells it, how should it respond?

Should we just say that we've already sided with the Void?

That would make me seem a bit too shameless.

015 was filled with unease, but to its surprise, Marcus didn't mention what it had just done.

"Aren't you curious about what 017 is here for?"

015 nodded silently.

How could I not be curious?

Then, Marcus and 015, who had huddled together, widened their eyes simultaneously.

Are you here to copy the star path planning map again?

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.

015 suddenly asked, "When did you get here?"

"Not long ago."

"..."

Marcus said, "I had to go ahead."

Did they still not ask any further questions?

015 felt a little strange, but it would be best if Marcus could leave at this time.

It nodded, watched Marcus leave, and then flew quickly toward Anran's location.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, it needed to deliver the items to Anran as soon as possible.

Even if Marcus suspects it has a problem, it won't dare to cause trouble for Enron.

"A perfect plan!"

015 with a smile.

It is less than a kilometer away from Anran.

But at that moment, it suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Marcus!"

Damn, how did this guy catch up with us!

015's expression changed slightly.

It originally thought that Marcus didn't intend to investigate the matter further, but it turned out that Marcus was playing the long game.

Trouble.

On the other hand, the moment Marcus saw 015, he suddenly understood.

015 has secretly allied itself with Anran, and now it shares the same thoughts as itself.

"Ahem..." Markus walked up to 015 with a serious expression. "I'm going to see the Void now. Do you want to come with me?"

"that……"

015 smiled awkwardly.

"No, thank you."

It seems it has made another mistake, but it doesn't want to travel with Markus at this time; it'll wait until Markus leaves.

"Then goodbye."

Marcus left with a smile.

After passing 015 by one body length, it arrived in front of Anran in an instant at an extremely fast speed.

"Lord Void, I've brought you some good stuff!"

"Ok?"

An Ran raised her head.

Outside.

015 watched Marcus disappear into the distance, a hint of doubt flashing through its mind.

Why did Marcus seem so anxious?

Why didn't Marcus question why it copied the star path planning map?

Just then, the image of 017 flashed through 015's mind.

In that instant, it suddenly understood something.

“凸(艹皿艹)”

When 015 stormed up to An Ran in a fit of rage, Marcus had already handed her the star path planning map with a delighted expression.

really.

Pah, shameless.

It actually beat us to it!

Half an hour later, the Chain of Judgments convened an emergency meeting.

The last seven members formed a circle around the round table.

"How should I put this?"

Camilla started the conversation.

Its gaze swept across the faces of the members.

A smile blossomed.

"From today onwards, we're on the same team."

"..."

The meeting room was quiet.

What to say?

The reversal from distrust to trust is quite exciting.

A moment later, the conference room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Ahem." An Ran coughed lightly. "Then let's discuss the future of the Chain of Judgment."

……

In early November.

The war has resumed.

As Heda's adjutant, An Ran also followed the fleet out of the veil of light.
