Shadows of the Deep Space

Su Ming laughed and replied.

Shi Fu and Yolu sprinted towards the communication room in the mining base.

They quickly arrived at the communication room.

"You've got us killed this time!"

Shi Fu cursed Yolu while operating the communication device, sending out a remote communication.

Yolu stood by with a pale expression, not daring to make a sound.

If Su Ming really took over this mining area, his life would be over.

Soon the call was connected, and a stern voice sounded from the other end.

"Hello!"

"Lord Willie, something terrible has happened...."

Shi Fu quickly reported what had happened to his superior.

Instantly, furious shouting came from the other end of the phone.

"Damn it, this Federation bunch is worse than robbers, they're ridiculously greedy...."

Listening to Willie's rant, Shi Fu asked tentatively.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Redeem it! That mining area is a Vibranium Mine, how much does he want?"

"Ten billion!"

"Why doesn't he just go rob someone! Ten billion, where are we supposed to get that much money? Tell him fifty billion, not a penny more."

Willie snapped with a dark expression.

"And what if he doesn't agree?"

Shi Fu tried asking.

"If he doesn't agree, you can wait to die."

Willie finished and cut off the communication.

"Lord Shi Fu, what do we do now?"

Yolu asked in terror.

"What else? Go beg that bandit! Damn it, these Federation guys would eat you alive.

Shi Fu cursed while walking out.

Yolu quickly followed.

...

Inside the hall.

Su Ming waited patiently.

Normally, Su Ming wouldn't be so overbearing, but these guys really made him fed up.

Just then Shi Fu and Yolu hurriedly returned.

"Lord Su Ming, sorry for keeping you waiting. I've communicated with my superiors, we're willing to offer three billion Federation Coins."

Shi Fu said with a grin.

"Three billion, you're trying to send off a beggar?"

Su Ming replied disdainfully.

Shi Fu's smile froze upon hearing Su Ming's words, and quickly tried to appease him.

"Lord Su Ming, although this mine produces vibranium, the content is really low. Plus, the mining costs are very high, three billion really is our limit."

"No way."

Su Ming deliberately made it difficult.

Seeing Su Ming's unwillingness, Shi Fu panicked and pleaded immediately.

"Five billion, we really can't offer more. Sir, we beg you! Please be generous and return it to us, otherwise, we're dead."

"Returning it at that price is feasible, but it depends on whether I'm satisfied with how you handle upcoming matters."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"We'll handle it however you say."

Duofu promised to Su Ming as if grasping at a lifeline. T+his ch%a-p-t#er% was fi-r@st se#e^n- on M-V^L&E!M^P.YR.

"Alright, where are the people?"

Su Ming directly asked.

Shi Fu immediately turned and shouted at Yolu.

"Where are they?"

"Which people?"

Yolu asked, baffled.

"Captain Hagett, Mi Fei, and the others, quickly bring them over."

Shi Fu was nearly exploding with anger at Yolu.

"Okay."

Yolu left in fear.

...

At this time, inside the dim mine.

Yolu rushed to the deepest part with people, and upon seeing Hagett and others, his hanging heart was relieved.

Seeing Yolu and the others, Hagett and his people showed a very frightened expression.

Hagett hurriedly said.

"What do you want, we've given you all the money."

"Don't worry, I'm not here for money, just come with me."

Yolu tried to speak as gently as possible.

Hagett and others exchanged a glance, feeling very uneasy but still nodded in agreement.

"Alright."

...

Not long after.

Hagett and his people followed Yolu uneasily to the hall.

Before Hagett could react to what was happening, Shi Fu immediately greeted him warmly.

"Ah, Captain Hagett."

Seeing Shi Fu, Hagett and others were surprised, speaking with much dread.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing, you're free now, it was all a misunderstanding."

Shi Fu promptly tried to smile apologetically.

Hagett and his people were dumbfounded at Shi Fu's words, feeling utterly confused, as if the whole world seemed somewhat surreal.

Earlier when they went to Shi Fu, his attitude was very harsh and impatient.

At this moment, a familiar voice spoke up.

"Captain Hagett, Miss Mi Fei, long time no see."

Hagett and Mi Fei looked to Su Ming, their expressions momentarily startled, then reacted with immense delight, shouting.

"Lord Su Ming!"

At this moment, they finally understood what was going on.

"Are you alright?"

Su Ming asked with concern.

"We're alright, thanks to you, we're all still alive."

Hagett replied excitedly.

"That's good."

Hearing that they were all alive, Su Ming was also very relieved; if anyone had died, this situation today wouldn't be easily resolved.

"Lord Su Ming, you must help us, our houses and ship are gone."

At this time, Bill and others said with red eyes.

Hearing this, Su Ming turned to look at Shi Fu.

A shiver ran through Shi Fu, and he immediately said to Su Ming.

"The demolition compensation will be credited soon, as for your ship, we'll return it, and also calculate the rent for each day."

"Satisfied?"

Su Ming turned to Hagett and asked.

"Satisfied."

Hagett, despite feeling very angry, did not want to pursue further, as they had to continue living here.

At this moment, Bill also pleaded to Su Ming.

"Lord Su Ming, there's one more thing we need your help with, we really can't swallow this anger."

Upon hearing Dobby's words, Shi Fu and Yolu's eyelids jumped, their hearts were in their throats.
