After understanding the deeper meaning behind this assessment, Loren shrugged.

What a truly boring assessment…

Feeling utterly bored, Loren lightly adjusted the hat on his head and turned to leave directly.

“That painting, you really don’t want it? I saw you seemed to like it quite a bit.” Retab Collin’s voice came from behind.

“Sorry, I don’t like knights anymore.”

Loren walked straight out of Room 001. The corridor was empty. After sweeping his gaze around, Loren still didn’t find any trace of Ayla Morningstar.

Only after turning a corner did Loren see that small figure sitting by the stairwell.

“Let’s go, little one.”

Ayla Morningstar, who was so bored she was almost falling asleep, perked up instantly.

“Big brother, you finished the assessment that fast?”

“Mm.” Taking the little girl’s hand, he led her down the stairs step by step.

Arriving at the castle’s first-floor lobby, he presented his Interstellar Hunter license and booked two adjacent lounges.

“Congratulations, Mr. Loren, on obtaining Level 9 clearance.”

“The two adjacent lounges are ready, Rooms 104 and 105 on the third floor. I hope you have a pleasant rest tonight.”

Loren nodded and put away his Interstellar Hunter license with the Level 9 clearance.

Not bad, the efficiency here is much faster than in the Jadeite Star Domain.

If the information on his Interstellar Hunter license could only be updated tomorrow, then the little girl would have had to make do sharing a room with him for one night tonight.

Leading the little girl, he climbed the stairs again to the third floor.

The little girl chose Room 104, and Loren checked into Room 105.

“Get a good rest today. Tomorrow morning, I’ll start helping you look for your father.”

“If there’s danger, remember to shout for help loudly. I’ll hear it. If you don’t have anything urgent, don’t disturb me. I prefer quiet solitude.”

Before entering his room, Loren gave Ayla Morningstar another reminder.

The little girl nodded obediently, “Okay, big brother, I’ll remember. I wish you pleasant dreams.”

Loren was quite satisfied with Ayla Morningstar’s understanding. He liked clients who didn’t cause trouble.

Loren stepped into Lounge 105. After closing the door, he took off his black coat stained with ash and threw it into the washbasin in the bathroom.

The cold-hearted man with a 3 billion bounty began washing clothes by hand.

“Garbage lounge, doesn’t even have laundry facilities. Another corrupt Chief!!”

Loren began to miss the Interstellar Hunter Association in Jadeite Main City. At least the bathroom there had an inconspicuous washing machine…

Although Loren had never used that inconspicuous washing machine while in the Jadeite Star Domain, some things are only truly appreciated once they’re gone.

“Oh right, I should tell Lady Daisy that I’m no longer in the Jadeite Star Domain. She wouldn’t still be waiting for me at the orphanage, would she…”

Thinking of this, Loren quickly finished washing his coat.

After hanging it on the lounge’s balcony, Loren comfortably lay down on the large bed and let out a long sigh.

“Finally, I can get some proper rest.” The fatigue brought by the spatial jump was finally alleviated at this moment.

Raven also chose this moment to release its possession state, appearing beside Loren.

“Master, give me the portable computer, quick! I haven’t been online for two days!!” The moment it appeared, Raven demanded intensely.

Loren took out a portable computer from the “Crimson Tear” and threw it to the eagerly awaiting raven.

“You’ve worked hard, Raven.”

Raven ignored Loren’s consolation, its little claws swiftly opening the portable computer and beginning a high-intensity internet surfing session.

That pure internet-addicted creature had returned!!!

“Shh, Master, I prefer a bird’s quiet solitude.”

Loren: “…”

Great, stupid bird, you learn fast.

Loren shook his head with a dark expression on his face. Then, he took out his own portable computer and, with equally fast hand speed, opened it.

Having been offline for two days, he also somewhat missed the people on the Interstellar Hunter Forum.

Of course, he mainly missed the account named “FederationSecurityBureauAlwaysHiring.”

One of Loren’s few hobbies was teasing the person behind this account.

Opening the portable computer, before even logging into the Interstellar Hunter Forum, Loren found over a dozen unread messages on his computer’s social software.

Clicking in, Loren discovered that both Daisy and Abel Norton had sent him a pile of messages, all asking why he had disappeared.

He chose to reply to each one individually, his tone quite perfunctory.

“Went traveling to another star system.”

Just after replying, a video call invitation from Abel Norton popped up.

Loren thought for a moment, cautiously not accepting the video call, and instead chose to reply with a message. He happened to have some things to ask him.

“Sorry, Agent Norton, video isn’t convenient right now.”

“Mr. Loren, I just received intel that you’ve arrived in the Radiant Flow Star Domain?”

Seeing the message on the screen, Loren wasn’t the least bit surprised.

It would be abnormal if Security Bureau agents didn’t have moles in a public organization like the Interstellar Hunter Association.

“Yeah, just arrived.”

“Um… So, you finished killing the Councilor and then ran for it?” Abel Norton probed with a question.

What kind of talk is that?! What a rude guy!

Can that be called running for it? The Federation is so vast! I was just tired of staying in the Jadeite Star Domain! I wanted to come see the Radiant Flow Star Domain!!

“Someone invited me to come see the Radiant Flow Star Domain.” Loren’s fingers flew, quickly replying to the other party.

Loren didn’t even know what he was saying, but he felt replying this way could maintain his dignity…

He! Absolutely would not admit! that he ran to the Radiant Flow Star Domain!!

“Is that so? I absolutely believe you, of course!”

Behind the screen, the corners of Abel Norton’s mouth lifted into a smile. It seemed the Federation’s power still held some deterrent effect on you, Loren…

But, you ran really fast. Isn’t that a bit too practiced, Mr. Loren…

“Here’s the thing, Mr. Loren, the reason I called you on video was to notify you.”

“Our Security Bureau, representing the Federation, has decided to award you a Medal of Valor.”

“Based on reports, Councilor Osman’s subordinates were suspected of major crimes including human trafficking, illegally operating casinos, and transporting contraband.”

“As for Councilor Osman himself, after we conducted a detailed investigation, we discovered he had secretly joined the Justice Party and even held an important position within it.”

“Such remnants of the Justice Party are a major threat to the Federation!!”

“Coincidentally, just as we were still somewhat troubled about how to deal with Councilor Osman, you solved this problem for us.”

“I must say, Mr. Loren, you have made a great contribution to the stability of the Federation.”

“When are you free? I’ll have colleagues in the Radiant Flow Star Domain transfer the Medal of Valor to you.”

Loren: “…”

I’ve become a Federation hero???

Staring at the message Abel Norton sent on the screen, Loren made a disgusted expression…
