Shadows of the Deep Space

Shi Fu said with a full smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming slapped the table directly.

Crack!

The entire table immediately cracked.

Shi Fu and the others felt a jolt in their hearts, their faces instantly turning pale.

Rhein and the others were also extremely shocked, looking at Su Ming, amazed at the strength of their leader.

"I have no mood to waste time with you here, I'll ask one last time, where are the people?"

Su Ming stood up straight, coldly questioning.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Shi Fu accompanied his words with a smile.

"Sir, the people were sent to the Mining Star."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Shi Fu's words, Su Ming's face immediately darkened.

"You all went too far, actually sending Captain Hagett and the others to the Mining Star, are you even human?"

Johnny angrily cursed.

"Sir Su Ming, please let me explain, they were originally locked in cells. But they thought it was too boring to be locked up, so they wanted to dig some mines and make some money, so they themselves applied to go to the Mining Star."

Shi Fu hurriedly explained.

Ankaga, hearing this, couldn't help but chime in with sarcasm.

"For a person to be shameless to this degree, I've never seen anyone else like it. Why don't you go to the Mining Star and make some money?"

"You guys are really something."

Su Ming was also angered to laughter.

"Sir, don't be angry, I've already notified the Mining Star, asking them to send the people over."

Shi Fu quickly explained.

"No need, I'll go pick them up myself, which Mining Star are they on?" Spot an error? Visit the original post on M&VLEMPY&R.

Su Ming no longer trusted Shi Fu and his group at all.

Seeing this, Shi Fu quickly said.

"Sir Su Ming, I'll go with you to pick them up, I have a ship over here."

"Alright, you'd better pray they're alright."

Su Ming coldly warned.

"Okay, okay."

Shi Fu replied, sweat forming on his forehead.

....

Soon after, a Level 4 Battleship took off from the interstellar airport, leaving the Tasji Main Star, heading towards Mining Star TLX-21.

--------------------------------------------

Within the dim underground mine of Mining Star TLX-21.

Hagett grasped the mining pick, panting as he dug ore, his entire lips cracked, his wrinkled face without a trace of blood.

Mi Fei and the others surrounded him, struggling to mine.

Because the Taske Kingdom didn't have as many advanced mining equipment as the Federation, it couldn't perform crushing extractions. Furthermore, the Vibranium mineral on this planet was deep-layered, and the geology extremely loose, making it prone to collapse upon operation with high-power machinery.

Additionally, they were unwilling to spend money on professional mining, so the most primitive method was used. Anyway, if something went wrong and people died, they weren't worth anything. The only downside was that the efficiency was too low.

Therefore, soldiers wearing Single Soldier Armor constantly shouted and cursed.

"Hurry up!"

At this moment, Hagett really couldn't hold on. He felt a dizzy spell, and his entire body collapsed.

"Grandpa!"

Upon seeing this, Mi Fei immediately ran over in fear to support Hagett.

At this time, Hagett's subordinates immediately crowded around.

At this moment, Billy, who took the lead, asked with concern.

"Sir Hagett, are you alright?"

"I, I'm fine."

Hagett replied, panting continuously.

"This is fine? Sir Hagett, you lie down and rest, we'll dig for you."

Billy and the others then diligently began digging the ore.

At this time, those guards saw Hagett collapse, and immediately walked over, unceremoniously whipping towards him.

"You old fool, who gave you permission to be lazy?"

Seeing this, Mi Fei rushed to cover Hagett with her body.

Smack!

Immediately, Mi Fei's back received a whip, and her expression was filled with pain.

At this time, Billy and the others, seeing this, immediately stepped forward to angrily argue.

"Can't we help him work?"

"No, do you think you're very capable? Believe it or not, I'll throw you all to the bottommost layer?"

These guards viciously threatened.

Although Billy and the others were very angry, they could only shut their mouths. If they went to the bottommost layer to dig, they'd basically be dead within a few days.

"Hmph, old fool, get up immediately."

The guards cursed harshly.

At this time, Mi Fei, enduring the burning pain in her back, spoke up.

"Guard sir, can we pay for some rest time?"

"Paying up, that's fine."

The guard laughed pleasantly upon hearing this.

Mi Fei promptly pulled out a small roll of bills and handed it to the guard.

The guard grabbed it, opened it to take a look, and upon seeing five hundred-worth Federation Coins, he was quite satisfied and said.

"Alright, you can take this old man to the rest room for a while, but the money only covers half a day's stay."

Mi Fei and the others hurriedly helped Hagett away.

At this moment, the miners around, seeing this scene, gathered around a fairly robust man with a face full of pockmarks.

"Brother Bao Kun, that old man has so much money; he's been to the rest room quite a few times."

"I saw it. Let's check their beds later during the break to see where they hide their money."

"Is that okay?"

"Why not? Once we find the money, we'll just bribe those guys."

Bao Kun smirked and said.

"You're smart, brother."

...

In the evening.

Bao Kun and his group crawled out of the mine cave and returned to the crude mining base on the surface.

As they were being driven back to their rooms to rest, they sneaked into Hagett's room,

and were immediately confronted by several ground mats.

Although the room was quite spacious, over twenty people had to live in each one, so they could only sleep on the floor.

Because Hagett's group was relatively large, they had a room to themselves.

"Hurry, find it!"

Bao Kun urged his companions.

They immediately began rummaging through Hagett's bedding and clothes.

They searched for quite some time but found nothing.

"Brother, there's nothing!"

Bao Kun's underlings said one after another.

"That's impossible."

Bao Kun's expression changed. He then started searching again.

At that moment, he suddenly felt something hard in Hagett's bedding.

He was delighted and quickly ripped the cover open, pulling out five rolls of 1000 denomination money.

"Wow, we're rich! Let's go!"

Bao Kun exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay!"

The underlings responded enthusiastically.

They immediately ran out.

As they exited the room and reached the hallway, they bumped into Hagett's group returning.

Bill saw Bao Kun and the others and immediately reacted.

"You thieves, give us back our money."

"Who are you calling thieves?"

Bao Kun and the others responded unapologetically.

"If you're not thieves, why sneak into our room?"

Bill angrily rebuked.

"Which eye of yours saw us go in?"

Bao Kun and the others feigned helplessness.

"Bastards, get them!"

Bill and his group charged up in fury.

"You think we're pushovers, do you? Hit them!"

Bao Kun and his group weren't afraid and charged right back.

Both sides started brawling instantly.

At this time, a group of guards ran over, brandishing whips.

"Stop it immediately!"

Bao Kun and Bill stopped right away.

The lead Guard Captain, Toku, said viciously.

"You better give me an explanation for why you're fighting, or I'll send all of you to the bottom level."

"They broke into our room and stole our money!"

Bill accused furiously.

"We didn't steal; we just happened to be passing by here, and they accused us. Lord Toku, please give us justice."

Bao Kun approached Toku, secretly handing him a roll of money.

Toku pocketed the money and glared fiercely at Mi Fei and the others.

"How dare you! A bunch of troublemakers causing a ruckus. Send them all to the lowest level; if you've got the strength to fight, then dig to your heart's content."

"Sir, you can't do this."

Captain Hagett and Mi Fei shouted anxiously upon hearing this.

Unfortunately, it was of no use. Numerous guards charged up savagely, beating and kicking them before forcibly taking them away.
