Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Then there is no more then.

boom!

Sawyer slammed his fist against the wall of the cage.

"Alright, alright," Ghana advised. "What's all the fuss about? You'll be released eventually."

"Exactly, learn from me, be more laid-back, and you'll get beaten up less."

Melville echoed Ghana's sentiments.

Oh.

You guys are really open-minded.

Sawyer lay down on the ground, feeling dejected.

He felt that he was no longer human, but a leek to be harvested by the Star Domain Dominator.

Chapter 18: Dedicating Oneself to the Cult of Mechanism

The ransom of the prisoners was redeemed three days later.

At this time, many people were also stationed in the planetary graveyard along the Eternal Star Road, so Anran did not have to wait too long.

If Anran hadn't also demanded some uncommon metal materials, Cairns would probably have been able to go home on the same day the deal was reached.

"finally……"

Lying in his hospital bed, Keynes looked up at the virtual screen that appeared before him, tears welling up in his eyes.

This is touching.

The airport beneath our feet is getting closer and closer.

Keynes seemed to see his compatriots walking on the earth.

He had never longed for his feet to be firmly planted on solid ground.

That would bring a sense of relief to his uneasy heart.

Just then, the hatch suddenly opened, and Keynes saw a cold, mechanical puppet walk in from outside.

The first step is to get a physical checkup!

puff……

Keynes gritted his teeth.

He felt that An Ran did it on purpose.

She could have used normal equipment to measure his temperature directly from the outside, but she insisted on using those outdated methods from some backward planet to treat his ass.

"Body temperature is normal."

"81% of the body is damaged."

"Confirmed to be out of danger."

"..."

After reporting the situation to An Ran without any emotion, the mechanical puppet began to move.

slam-la-

That was the sound of rollers moving along the spaceship's walkway.

noisy.

But in a sense, Keynes also found it very pleasing to the ear.

Even though many strangers were peeking at him, Keynes didn't react.

Go ahead and watch.

He will be able to return to the Eternal Star Road soon.

Once he recovers, what are these strangers? As for An Ran, even if she grows to the level of Vista, the Eternal Star Road will not let her go.

There's still a long road ahead.

buzzing-

Under the traction beam, Keynes and Carlos, who was pushed out from the other side, finally arrived at the airport.

In the reception hall on the top floor, Keynes lay beside Anran, who was smiling.

Ten meters away stood the members of the negotiation team sent by Eternal Star Road.

They wore the insignia of the Eternal Star Path.

Therefore, even without a single acquaintance, Keynes became agitated.

Come quick!

The reason Eternal Starway didn't send any of Keynes's acquaintances was to prevent any conflicts from arising during the negotiations.

Their biggest wish now is to bring Keynes and Carlos back.

Everything else can be postponed.

An Ran spoke first: "Your side wouldn't be lying in ambush here trying to harm me, would you?"

The representative of Eternal Star Road quickly shook his head: "Of course not. We are people of integrity and would never joke about the reputation of Eternal Star Road."

ha?

How dare you say such a thing?

That makes sense, though.

Anran nodded with a smile.

These two top civilizations, to put it more bluntly, are the two biggest rogue civilizations among the thousands of civilizations in the universe.

It's not surprising that they say or do anything.

An Ran said, "In that case, you should go and check it yourselves, so you won't say I'm trying to scam you. Both of them are seriously injured, but none of the important parts are missing."

"Thank you for Prophet Enron's generosity."

The representative of the Eternal Star Path began to direct the accompanying medics.

An Ran wasn't worried about them causing trouble.

Before she arrived, she had scanned the surrounding area and confirmed that Eternal Star Road had not arranged for "five hundred axemen" to hide nearby.

If those people at the scene tried to suddenly attack and take her hostage, they would be doing it for nothing.

Because she had arranged for "five hundred axemen" to stand by!

Whenever anyone on the Eternal Star Path makes any unusual movements, Heda, Tsykia, Ella, and Panda will quickly arrive via the psychic descent device.

In addition, Derrick and the Chain of Judgment's large group of Starfield Overlords will also come to help, depending on the situation.

With more than a dozen star field rulers arriving at the same time, there was absolutely no way for these people in the Eternal Star Road delegation to escape.

That way, Anran can harvest a few more large leeks.

A few minutes later, the medics turned around and gave the delegation members a thumbs up.

That's good.

The representative nodded: "We have confirmed it."

"Then let's begin the transaction."

"no problem."

The handover went very smoothly. An Ran received a considerable sum of money and some much-needed metal, while Eternal Starway successfully brought Keynes and Carlos back.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." An Ran shook hands firmly with the representative of Eternal Star Road: "Besides Sawyer and his team, I think we can further deepen our cooperation."

The representative of Eternal Star Road's face darkened.

So you still have your eyes on our Star Domain Ruler.

Think beautifully.

He forced a smile: "Hopefully next time it will be the Exiled Empire that makes the trade request."

An Ran nodded: "No problem, I'll remind you to redeem Sawyer when the time comes. Oh, by the way, please also inform Ghana and Melville, so they don't forget about him if too much time passes."

"..."

The representative's face was as black as coal.

He shook off An Ran's gloved right arm and said in an emotionless voice, "Then I wish Prophet An Ran good health and all the best."

"This time, definitely!"

The person watching the Eternal Star Path push Keynes and Carlos into the spaceship, and An Ran raised his hand and waved: "Have a safe journey, and don't run into space pirates."

Oh.

Those on the Eternal Star Path can only use a cold laugh to mask the anger in their hearts.

The moment everyone stepped into the spaceship, they eagerly started the ship and left the spaceport.

"Wouldn't this provoke them too much?"

An Ran's entourage whispered to her.

An Ran waved her hand: "It's alright. Do you think I can ease the tension with Eternal Star Road by saying a few nice words? That's impossible. Even if I were to side with them now, there would definitely be many people secretly targeting me. So why bother giving them a nice look? I'd rather dance in their faces."

"That's true."

They returned safely and with a full load.

News of what happened during the transaction reached the ears of the War Court.

"Did An Ran really say that?"

"Yes."

There was no audio recording or video because it couldn't be hidden from An Ran, the master of machines.
