After Loren entered the Interstellar Hunter Association.

The atmosphere in the hall became quiet once again.

Loren had appeared twice on the same day.

This unusual occurrence gave the interstellar hunters in the hall a sense of danger.

Those who knew Loren’s operating style were aware of one thing.

Loren’s activities often represented trouble and would frequently affect them personally.

But even so.

In the past, Loren had never appeared at the Hunter Association twice on the same day.

Therefore, some sharp interstellar hunters, upon seeing Loren’s figure.

Silently put away the commissions they had just accepted and withdrew from the Hunter Association hall.

No matter what, staying away from wherever Loren was located was always correct.

The Raven, who witnessed all of this, perched on Loren’s shoulder and couldn’t help but speak:

“Oh, what a dreadful sight.”

“My dear master.”

“It seems that besides me, no creature is willing to like you.”

As the object that everyone avoided like the plague.

Loren paid no attention to the departing interstellar hunters.

Nor did he bother with his psychic ability’s mockery of himself.

Only after he glimpsed Ms. Thia entering the assessment area from the corner of his eye.

Did he begin his hunting plan.

Loren walked to the task release window in the hall and presented his hunter license.

“Hello, madam.”

“I’m here to post a task.”

“Mr. Loren, what task would you like to post?”

The staff member inside the window operated the computer while inquiring of Loren.

“Post the task in all star domains outside the Dusk Star Domain.”

“Hire someone to report to the Federation Energy Department that someone is stealing Federation minerals on Resource Planet 17.”

“As well as smuggling mechas and kidnapping Federation citizens.”

“Public task, everyone can accept it.”

“Reward, one spirit stone.”

After speaking, Loren handed a spirit stone through the window.

“Alright, Mr. Loren. It has been uploaded to the Interstellar Hunter public network.”

“Do you have any other requirements?”

The staff member inside the window didn’t pay attention to the strange task Loren had posted.

She was just an emotionless task-posting machine.

Everything else, don’t interfere, don’t ask questions.

Only in this way could she live longer.

This was the first rule recorded in their work manual.

“Nothing else, madam. Good luck.”

Loren turned away satisfied.

The first step of the plan had begun.

He walked out of the Interstellar Association’s main door in a pleasant mood.

After exiting, Loren didn’t linger at all and headed directly outside the Upper District.

“Dear master, you’re truly wicked.” The Raven, who witnessed everything, offered this evaluation.

“I like that evaluation.” Loren’s lips curved slightly upward.

As for the task Loren posted, it was just a gimmick.

A task with a one spirit stone reward would not be accepted by anyone.

It was only to ensure the information could be transmitted outside the Dusk Star Domain.

Just to let more people see it.

To ensure the Federation Energy Department would see this task.

Loren looked forward to what kind of response the Federation Energy Department would make upon seeing this task.

The curtain had risen on a grand performance.

After Loren exited the Upper District’s city gate, he identified the direction of the Federation prison outside the city.

Then he stealthily made his way toward the Federation prison’s location.

He needed to be at the performance venue ahead of time.

To make some preparations and give everyone a surprise.

———–

Not long after Loren posted the task.

The Federation Energy Headquarters had already received this rather stimulating news.

The Interstellar Hunter Association’s public network was always the place where any news spread the fastest.

When such obviously conspiratorial news involved a Federation department with real power.

The speed of information dissemination could be described as light speed.

After all, people who enjoyed watching spectacles existed everywhere.

Especially within the interstellar hunter community, there were even more such people.

Command after command was issued from the Federation Energy Headquarters.

The report about stopping mining operations from that year was retrieved from the dust-covered archives.

The person responsible for signing that order was arrested and interrogated immediately.

And the quantity of spirit stones circulating in the Dusk Star Domain market over these years began data analysis by the Federation AI.

Everyone involved in that incident from back then was placed under surveillance by the Federation AI.

How the new government on Resource Planet 17 had joined the Federation back then, and the intermediaries at various levels, were all dug up again.

The Federation Energy Headquarters began searching for anything unusual.

This massive department with real power began its operations.

Especially when headquarters personnel discovered they couldn’t contact the investigator stationed on Resource Planet 17.

The Federation Energy Headquarters applied to the Federation Council for an investigation order.

The investigation order application was approved by the Federation Council immediately.

Without any obstruction, the relationship between this powerful department and the Federation Council was quite subtle.

Subsequently, the Federation Energy Headquarters directly dispatched large numbers of mechas and warships to blockade the entire Dusk Star Domain.

The Energy Headquarters’ special situation handling team also activated interstellar teleportation gates and began jumping toward the Dusk Star Domain.

Stealing Federation assets was just slapping the Energy Department’s face.

But killing an Energy Department investigator was rubbing the Energy Department’s face on the ground.

At this point, evidence was no longer needed.

“No one can challenge the Energy Department’s bottom line.”

This was the statement made by the Energy Department’s deputy minister before the Energy Department’s personnel were dispatched.

————–

The Federation Military Department and Federation Law Enforcement Department.

Were also shaken by this news.

Smuggling mechas, kidnapping Federation citizens.

These two matters could be treated as minor or major.

But when these two matters appeared on the Interstellar Hunter public network.

The situation was destined to not remain small.

Matters that had been placed on the scale and matters that hadn’t were two completely different concepts.

This kind of public malicious incident that couldn’t be covered up would create chain reactions that would invisibly affect many people.

Soon.

Following the Federation Energy Department, personnel from the Military Department and Law Enforcement Department also set out.

The Military Department dispatched ten special teams to the Dusk Star Domain to arrest the mecha smugglers.

The Law Enforcement Department sent five teams of Federation elite police to the Dusk Star Domain to arrest those kidnapping Federation citizens.

The personnel dispatched by these two departments weren’t numerous.

Not every department was as wealthy as the Energy Department.

Dispatching personnel also required spirit stones, especially elite teams.

Since the Energy Department had already blockaded the Dusk Star Domain, these two departments could contribute less effort.

The task of cleansing the Dusk Star Domain was left to the Energy Department people.

Everyone knew that when such things happened in the Dusk Star Domain.

There must be widespread corruption throughout the entire Dusk Star Domain hierarchy.

If they sent too many people, it wouldn’t be good if it caused misunderstandings with the Energy Department.

They were here to assist the Energy Department, not to shelter certain criminals who violated Federation laws.

Meanwhile, in the main city of the Dusk Star Domain.

In the city center stood an extremely large natural estate.

The estate interior grew precious plants from various star domains.

A significant portion were even endangered varieties prohibited from private cultivation by the Federation.

Besides occupying the best location in the main city.

There were no tall buildings around the estate.

No one was permitted to look down upon this estate from above.
