I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

Chaos quickly descended as one man's fist struck another's face.

Let's go back to the time after Toppa learned that the spaceship was missing.

Upon hearing that his spaceship was gone, Toppa didn't even have time to say goodbye to Cocolia and Bronya before rushing back to the original spaceship's location.

Sure enough, their own spaceship was nowhere to be found there.

"My spaceship!"

Looking at the vanished spaceship, Topa couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

Her newly purchased ship was gone before the Two Sessions even started!

She hasn't even finished paying off the loan for the spaceship!

"What happened to the people who stayed behind on the spaceship?"

There was no time to mourn the lost spaceship. Topa gritted his teeth and asked his subordinate beside him.

Soon, several employees, whose bodies were covered in bruises, were carried to Toppa's front.

"Topa~ Director~"

At that moment, the only employee among them who was still conscious called out Topa's name in a trembling voice.

"Tell me, what happened here?"

At that moment, Topa felt a surge of anger.

"We...we've encountered the antimatter legion..."

The employee, who was barely alive, then recounted their ordeal.

In short: An unexpected encounter with the antimatter legion, a youthful force as strong as monsters, impossible to defeat even with all one's might!

"So it was an encounter with the antimatter legion?"

Upon hearing this reason, Topa's eyes softened.

"I know you. You guys can go down first!"

After saying that, Topa waved his hand, and the other employees prepared to carry the few employees who stayed behind down to recover from their injuries.

The only employee who was still conscious at this moment breathed a sigh of relief.

I can't believe they actually fooled me!

It was worth it; they really put on a convincing performance, and the fight scenes were anything but fake.

They beat him so badly that he was the only one still awake!

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you!"

Just as the company employees were about to carry their injured colleagues away, Topa suddenly spoke.

"To commend them for their desperate attempt to surround the spaceship, once you return, prepare to head to the current frontier of the universe and expand the company's territory!"

Upon hearing this, the sober employee's eyes widened, and he hurriedly shouted at Toppa.

"Director Toppa, spare me! Please spare me! Ah!"

But clearly, these words had no effect on Toppa, who was carried away amidst the employees' pitiful screams.

"Director Toppa, what should we do now?"

At this moment, the employee next to Topa couldn't help but ask Topa a question.

"What else can we do but ask the Great Guardian, Beloberg, if he can provide us with a place to stay!"

Otherwise, if the spaceship is gone, and we don't return to Beloborg, we'd better prepare to freeze into popsicles in this freezing cold!

Although Toppa is protected by protective measures, it is not afraid of the raging wind and snow.

But just because Toppa isn't afraid doesn't mean he's willing to sleep in such a place!

"And you guys go and find out which bastard stole my spaceship!"

If their own spaceship disappeared into thin air, it certainly couldn't have been done by something like the Antimatter Legion; they don't have that kind of brains.

But it's also unlikely that it was done by one of Belloberg's people.

They also lack that capability.

Their own spaceship's defense system is currently the most advanced in the entire universe.

The defense system will activate if anyone attempts to move or damage the spaceship.

Toppa didn't believe that Beloberg's technology could break through his ship's defense system.

If it's not the Antimatter Legion or the Beloborgs, then who could it be?

This reminded Toppa of the message he sent to the company regarding the coordinates of the Arillow VI.

According to Ms. Emerald, the message was sent by a masked fool.

So, did the Masked Fool steal his own spaceship?

But why would the Masked Fool steal his own spaceship?

Toppa quickly figured it out.

Does the Masked Fool need any reason to do his things?

Therefore, it must have been the Masked Fool who did this to his spaceship!

Thinking of this, Topa instantly felt relieved.

"You despicable masked fool, don't let me catch you, or I'll make sure you suffer!"

Topa roared at some masked fool hiding on this planet.

Having lost their spaceship, the Topaks naturally also lost their place to stay.

Left with no other option, the group had to return to Belleburg.

Seeing Toppa return, although Cocolia looked at her with a strange gaze, she still thoughtfully booked some suites for the company's group at the Goethe Hotel.

This also solved the accommodation problem for Toppa's group.

The suites on the top floor of the Goethe Hotel, although they are the most luxurious suites, are only slightly larger than regular rooms.

In other aspects, it's no different from a normal suite.

At this moment, Toppa was lying on the bed in the room, stroking the piggy bank in his arms with one hand.

Meanwhile, his other hand was anxiously tapping the screen in front of him.

【Hello? 】

As the call connected on the screen, Sand Gold's languid voice came from the other end.

"Thank goodness you finally answered the phone. Why did it take you so long?"

Hearing Toppa's complaints, Sandstone on the other end of the phone was clearly a bit confused.

After a long pause, he weakly uttered a single sentence.

Is it possible that it's already past midnight here?

I was sound asleep when I was woken up. If it weren't for the fact that Sajin is relatively calm, she would probably be cursing right now.

"Really? The sun just set here!"

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Topa asked somewhat awkwardly.

So if you're calling me this late at night, you'd better have something important to say!

Sand Gold's somewhat resentful voice came from the screen.

If Toppa is looking for him because of something like "Sajin Yiweiqin," then don't blame him for turning his back on him!

"Well, wasn't I sent to Yalilo by Lady Emerald on a mission? But I accidentally ran into a little trouble?"

What's the trouble? Are they trying to renege on their debt, or do they simply not welcome your visit?

Sand Gold asked curiously.

As one of the Stonehearts, Sandgold believed that Toppa shouldn't be unable to complete even such a basic task.

"No, actually, it seems our spaceship was stolen!"

【What! 】

Upon hearing this, Sand Gold, who was still feeling a little sleepy, jumped out of bed.

I need to sit up and listen!

Sorry, my signal is bad here. I didn't hear what you just said!

Hearing Sand Gold's gloating tone, Topa couldn't help but roll his eyes.

But when he thought about how he needed their help, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

"I said, my spaceship has been stolen! Did you hear me?"

Topa shouted loudly at the screen in front of him.

Why are you yelling so loudly? I can hear you!

Sand Gold rubbed his ears; Toppa's loud roar had really startled him.

However, when he thought of Toppa's plight, Sandstone couldn't help but laugh.

You just laughed, didn't you?

Upon hearing the laughter, Topa's face instantly darkened.

In response, Alluvial Gold quickly offered an explanation.

No, I was just thinking about something happy!

"What happy thing?"

I just bought a brand new spaceship.

"I'm not joking with you!"

Topa repeated himself.

Okay, okay, I got it! By the way, Toppa, I remember you haven't finished paying off your spaceship installments yet, have you?

"Golden placer!"

Okay, okay, so what did you want to see me about?

Seeing that Topa was about to lose his temper, Topa cut his losses in time.

"I hope you can send a spaceship to Yalilo to pick me up!"

[You can just apply to the company directly for this. With your status as one of the top ten members of Shixin, the company won't ignore you!]

Topa expressed his helplessness regarding this.

"Of course I know I can contact the company headquarters directly to send someone to pick me up, but you also know that if I apply to the company, some people in the company will find out about it."

"The mighty Stoneheart Ten are trapped on a remote planet!" This news will likely spread throughout the entire company very quickly. This is not good news for our Strategic Investment Department!

Hmm, what you said makes some sense!

Sand Gold nodded, agreeing with Toppa's words.

Especially now, their eldest son, Diamond, is preparing to become a candidate for the board of directors.

If this news were to spread within the company, it would inevitably affect Diamond's reputation as a board candidate.

So that's why you found me?

"That's right, I hope you can send a spaceship to pick me up, and try to keep it a secret from everyone!"

Topa nodded and stated his request.

After all, the ten members of Stoneheart were quite united, and since they were all Diamond's subordinates, there was naturally no reason for them to refuse.
