Loren stood up and stretched his arms, feeling the lightness in his body, that indescribable comfort…

He took out the Federation Coin from his pocket again and tossed it into the air.

“Is there really no hidden danger left in my body? If yes, heads,” he silently recited in his heart.

The coin fell.

Heads!!!

Seeing this, a sincere smile finally appeared on Loren’s face. After putting the coin away,

he looked down at the little girl with an expectant expression and said softly:

“Las Loren, an Interstellar Hunter.”

Seeing the other people in the cargo hold looking at him with surprise, Loren put away his smile and slowly sat back down…

Have these boring people been eavesdropping all along?!

After sitting down next to Ayla Morningstar, Loren turned to look at this little one who had healed him.

A little girl like a porcelain doll, Loren inexplicably found the little one before him quite cute…

He couldn’t help but reach out his hand, gently stroking her head.

“Don’t worry, little one, I’ll keep my promise.”

“Even if your father is in the Abyss, I’ll find him for you…”

Loren comforted her. Finding people? I’m the best at that…

“Since I started in this business, I’ve already searched for many people whose whereabouts were unknown.”

Hearing Loren’s words, a smile appeared on Ayla Morningstar’s little face.

“I believe you, big brother!!”

Loren withdrew his left hand from her head, swept a glance at the stowaways who were still sizing him and Ayla up, and said without emotion:

“Gentlemen, do I need to remind you? Prolonged staring is also a form of provocation.”

Instantly, those gazes fixed on Loren vanished.

The stowaways all averted their eyes, and some even simply closed their eyes to rest.

Ayla Morningstar wanted to tell Loren some information about her father, but Loren raised his hand to stop her.

“Let’s wait until we reach the Radiant Flow Star Domain to talk about everything…”

Loren’s eyes signaled for the little one to look around the cargo hold;
there were other people here.

In a cargo hold full of stowaways, it wasn’t suitable to reveal too much information.

The cargo hold fell into silence once more.

Loren also closed his eyes and began resting again, leaving the vigilance duty to Raven.

Ayla Morningstar saw that most people in the cargo hold, even Loren beside her, had closed their eyes, so she carelessly leaned against Loren’s arm and fell asleep.

Unlike the light sleep of others, she was truly asleep, completely without any defenses…

Thus, Raven took responsibility for the safety of both of them. Fortunately, it was an energy being and didn’t need rest.

For the next day, most people in the cargo hold alternated between waking and sleeping.

Only Loren and Ayla Morningstar, who was leaning against his arm, slept soundly from start to finish, right up until the moment before disembarking from the cargo ship.

Due to the strangeness of the pair and Loren’s reputation, no one came to disturb this odd combination.

Even the doctor who had brought Loren aboard didn’t come to bother them…

Federal Calendar 7708, October 17th, morning.

A cargo ship named “FZ-56” landed at a large logistics distribution center in the Main City of the Radiant Flow Star Domain.

The cargo ship’s hatch opened.

More than ten “ship mechanics” swaggered out.

Among them was a little girl mechanic, holding the hand of a tall young man beside her, walking at the very back of the group.

After the group reached the ground, a hover shuttle bus stopped in front of them. The shuttle’s window rolled down, and the driver stuck his head out, shouting loudly to the people who had disembarked from the cargo ship:

“Ship mechanics who have come from afar, we have prepared comfortable accommodations for you. By the way, we also need to discuss the ‘payment’ for hiring you to come here.”

The driver of the hover shuttle bus deliberately emphasized the word “payment.”

Everyone understood;
this was the smuggler group’s representative coming to collect the fee.

The dozen or so “mechanics” silently boarded the vehicle and sat down.

The hover shuttle’s engine started, and it drove out of the large logistics distribution center.

After turning down several streets, the hover shuttle stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse on a dilapidated street.

The driver opened the door, jumped out first, and pulled open the warehouse’s large door.

Inside the door was a long table. Behind the table, on chairs, sat seven Superhumans in various postures.

Behind these seven Superhumans were dozens of others playing cards and taking illegal substances.

Among the seven Superhumans behind the table, the one sitting right in the middle stood up and shouted:

“Everyone in the vehicle, you can get out now, pay your fare!!”

“By the way, does anyone need a new identity? We can provide them!”

The people filed out of the hovercar.

Ayla Morningstar, who got off last, looked at this scene with great curiosity, her eyes full of wonder. She turned to Loren, who was holding her hand, and asked:

“Big brother, do you need a new identity?”

“I don’t need that sort of thing. The forces I’ve offended are rather special;
that kind of thing is useless to me,” Loren explained.

Soon, the “ship mechanics” ahead of Loren in line had all paid their fees and left.

Interestingly, not a single person chose to buy a new identity, and not a single person tried to skip paying.

Loren watched this scene with interest and shook his head. It seems everyone here has a story…

It was Loren’s turn. He held Ayla Morningstar’s hand and walked up to the table.

At this moment, the doctor, who was now standing behind the seven Superhumans, walked over to the one in the middle, leaned down, and whispered something in his ear.

After finishing, the doctor gave Loren a slight nod, then directly turned and left, blending into the dozens of Superhumans at the back, going off to play cards.

The Superhuman who had been informed by the doctor quickly rose from his chair and said to Loren very politely:

“Mr. Loren, I understand this is your first time in the Radiant Flow Star Domain. I wonder if you’d be interested in joining us…”

“For a powerhouse like you joining, our organization often offers extremely generous treatment. How about a salary of 300,000 Spirit Stones per year? Would you consider it?”

Hearing the price offered, Loren’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly. This organization seems quite wealthy…

“May I ask what organization it is?”

“Sorry, Mr. Loren. Due to certain considerations, we can only tell you if you become one of us.”

The Superhuman shook his head, refusing Loren’s inquiry.

Loren immediately felt it was a pity. “Then forget it. I’ll just pay the fare…”

“Free!! Both you and the little girl beside you are free! We’ve decided all services for this trip are free!!”

“For a powerhouse like you to take our ship is an honor for us…” the Superhuman said to Loren with a very sincere smile.

Loren smiled and glanced at him. “Then may I leave?”

“Of course! Mr. Loren, you are free to go wherever you wish. I hope you enjoy your time in the Radiant Flow Star Domain!”

The Superhuman paused here, then continued:

“I know you just got off the ship, sir, and may not have had time to access the network yet, and might therefore miss some crucial news.”

“To express our organization’s goodwill, our organization also has a message for you, sir.”

“This morning, someone placed a 3 billion bounty on you, sir, on the Federation’s largest black market…”
