Poverty makes me capable of anything.

However, some unexpected events occurred during the negotiations between the two parties.

"evidence!"

Eternal Star Path requires evidence, but the applicant can only provide a video.

"Videos cannot be used as evidence."

The application was rejected.

This thoroughly enraged the anonymous applicant.

She harshly criticized Eternal Star Road's untrustworthy actions on various platforms.

"What video can't be used as evidence? I think Eternal Starway is just trying to renege on this money."

"I can't help but make malicious speculations. I think the Eternal Star Road is just putting on a show. In name, Sawyer and the Lord of the Night are labeled as traitors, but in reality, this is just the Eternal Star Road protecting them in a roundabout way."

"Even if I produce evidence, Eternal Star Road will definitely not admit it!"

During a lull in the war, An Ran's attack video, released in demon form, plunged Eternal Star Road into a media storm.

Chapter 96 Just Change Your Face and It'll All Be Done [End of Volume]

In fact, anyone with eyes can see the truth behind why Sawyer and the Lord of the Night are wanted.

Isn't it just about giving yourself a way out?

Therefore, even though the bounty was so large that it was hard to refuse, no bounty hunter would dare to target those two people.

At most, he would just chat with friends over tea or after meals.

"If they run into me, I'll crush them both with a single blow."

Such conversations often end with a dismissive rhetorical question.

"Even if you really kill them both, do you dare to go to the Eternal Star Road to collect the bounty?"

"..."

Go to hell.

That's like an old man hanging himself; he's tired of living.

"Only the people of the exiled empire would have the guts to do this, but they probably don't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters now."

Everyone reached a consensus—

Once the storm passes, Sawyer and the Lord of the Night will definitely live a much more comfortable life than before.

But to everyone's surprise, this consensus lasted less than a month before shocking news came.

Someone actually went to the Eternal Star Path to ask for the bounty!

Moreover, he was rejected by Eternal Star Road on the grounds that there was no evidence.

This is huge news.

Eternal Star Road has already been in the spotlight recently.

The turmoil surrounding the Hawkeye Sector incident will not be resolved in just ten days or half a month.

An Ran's accusations were like oil poured on a flame, turning a small fire into a devastating forest fire.

This caused the people of Eternal Star Road a huge headache.

Most people don't dare to openly cause trouble for it, but that doesn't mean they won't secretly create obstacles for the Eternal Star Road.

They might make sarcastic remarks or stand up for Anran out of righteous indignation.

Among them, Lindsay was definitely the most hardworking.

He was nearly crippled after being attacked by the Night Lord and Sawyer together, and he was already harboring a lot of resentment.

In addition, I've been lying in the hospital recovering from my injury recently, and I'm so bored that I'm going to go bald.

then.

Linssey transformed into an online fighter who was online 24/7, constantly cheering for Anran.

"This is already standard procedure for the Eternal Star Path."

"They have no dignity befitting a top-tier civilization; they are utterly disgraceful."

"If the video isn't evidence, then what is? Are we supposed to drag them to the Eternal Star Road to kill them? Putting aside how difficult it is to capture a Star Domain Ruler alive, even if we did bring them there, would the Eternal Star Road be willing to do it? They're treating us like fools."

If Linssey sees anyone defending the Eternal Star Path, he will immediately rush up and strike hard.

"Fuck!"

"nmsl!"

"Civilized manners? Can civilized manners put food on the table?"

"Compared to what Eternal Star Road has done, I think I'm a gentleman!"

Such voices were so numerous that they created a public opinion vortex, forcing even Eternal Star Road to take them seriously.

"What on earth are you doing?!"

Having just come from a frontline operations meeting, the Eternal Starway's governing envoy angrily slammed his fist on the table in the conference room.

The attendees remained silent.

They didn't want to either.

They had only recently received the news from Sawyer.

Who knew that the Lord of the Night would actually die?

The governor calmed himself down and said, "Give her the money and suppress this matter as soon as possible."

"I understand."

The congressman responsible for issuing the bounty order stood up and nodded.

The governor's gaze then fell on another person: "Has her identity been investigated?"

The man shook his head, his face grim: "We can't find any information. Logically speaking, the Demon Race hasn't produced a Star Domain Overlord for many years."

The regent's voice was slightly low: "Could it be someone sent by the Exiled Empire?"

"At first, I also suspected that she was from the Exiled Empire, so I specifically asked the pawns buried deep in the Exiled Empire, but the reply I received was that I had never seen her."

"..."

Demon~

The governor's gaze fell on An Ran's photograph.

Unlike ordinary demons, it appears that it completed an evolution in its life level while advancing to the Star Domain Ruler level.

The fact that she was able to kill the Night Overlord in a very short time and scare Sawyer away means that her strength may even be close to that of a top-tier Star Domain Overlord.

How could such a powerful person be an unknown nobody?

Could it be that she came from the New World Starfield?

The ruler fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.

After a long silence, he said, "Let's test her background. If it doesn't work out, we don't have to force it."

"clear."

"Ah."

The ruling official nodded.

Actually, the topic of this meeting was not the death of the Night Overlord, but a secret communication from the New World Starfield.

If this had happened two or three years ago, the governor would have certainly driven away the envoy sent by the New World Star Region without hesitation.

The Eternal Star Road is powerful enough that it doesn't need to rely on external forces to deal with the Exiled Empire.

But now it's different.

In recent years, Eternal Star Road has seemed to be cursed, with one bad thing after another happening.

Nearly ten Star Domain Sovereigns have been lost in total.

Although this is still not enough to shake the status of the Eternal Star Road, the fear is that if luck turns bad, it will be bad and won't stop.

Maybe it's time to change our way of life.

Compared to the Exiled Empire, the people in the New World Starfield are clearly easier to deal with.

First, unite with them to suppress the Exiled Empire, then turn around and deal with both sides at the same time.

This may take a long time, but the ruling party can afford to wait.

What do you think?

The people in the conference room started discussing this topic.

……

An Ran received the official reply from Eternal Star Road the day after the meeting.

The reply was very sincere.

While acknowledging their mistake, Eternal Starway explained why they had previously refused to pay the bounty.

They said it was because they hadn't investigated thoroughly, but now they have concrete evidence of the Night Lord's death.

Now that we have evidence, things will be much easier.

Everything was done according to the established procedures.

The bounty will be paid out normally, but an offline transaction is required to ensure the safe delivery of the money.

The problem has once again fallen into Enron's hands.

I can give you the money, but do you dare to come and collect it?

"Insidious, cunning, shameless—you truly live up to your reputation, Eternal Star Road!"
