The elven lady subconsciously shrank back, but her eyes were still like a pool of stagnant water. She lifelessly looked at the virtual screen in front of her, like a zombie whose soul had been sucked out.
At this time, the man changed channels and saw the news recording of the Black Star Conference.
After looking at it for a while, he sneered, his face appearing as though he did not give two hoots about it, “This Black Star, he’s always so busy. He should go fight the enemies if he’s bored. That’s his responsibility. What’s the point of worrying about population trade? Does he think he’s the leader of the galactic society? Pfft, what the hell.”
As soon as he said that, the bodies of a few elven women lying on the ground suddenly trembled, and their dead eyes suddenly regained a bit of life. Ever since they were captured by the slave traffickers and sold, their lives were only left with darkness. They were like stagnant water without any life, thinking that they would be like this for the rest of their lives. However, at this moment, Black Star was like a ray of light piercing through the darkness, piercing into their despairing hearts and waking up their shattered personalities.
The few of them looked at Black Star on the screen and could not help but feel hopeful.
Will someone really save us…
The man in the robe noticed the looks of his pets and frowned. “Hmm? What kind of look is that?”
As he spoke, the man in the robe glanced at Black Star on the screen and suddenly felt a surge of anger. He picked up a short prismatic whip from the side and threw it out. “It seems like I haven’t trained you guys enough. Are you still thinking of escaping? Why, did you think that Black Star can save you after seeing the news? If so, keep an eye on him and see if he can save you guys now.”
The few female elves were so frightened that their bodies stiffened. They lay on the ground and trembled nonstop, but they did not dare to dodge or beg for mercy. If these ‘pets’ opened their mouths to speak without the permission of the man, it would only lead to worse torture.
The man in the sleeping robe had a dark expression on his face. He raised his whip and looked like he was about to hit one of them.
However, at this moment, the mansion’s door exploded!
Bang!
Fragments flew everywhere, and the wall was covered in dust.
The man in the robe was shocked. He turned around and saw a group of people walking in. They were wearing familiar uniforms. It was the security patrol team of this galactic city. Upon seeing who it was, the man in the robe immediately relaxed. He then roared in rage.
“What are you doing?! How dare you barge into my house?! Do you want to die?!” The captain walked out and showed his electronic arrest warrant. He said coldly, “Your Excellency Anhuso, we have received a reliable report that you have broken the law by raising a galactic resident as a pet. Please come with us.”
The man in the robe opened his eyes wide in disbelief and pointed at himself in surprise. “Arrest me over such a small matter? Do you know who I am?”.
“You have violated the Planetary Universal Law’s life form trading prohibition.” The captain remained expressionless.
“If you capture me, can you bear the responsibility? Go back and ask the feudal lord of this free planet, does he still want the rights to operate his planet?” The man only found it ridiculous and did not know whether to laugh or cry. With his identity and background, such a crime was a joke. He had raised many galactic species as pets, and no one had ever dared to hold him responsible for it.
He did not expect such a low-level police officer to dare challenge him. Such a small character did not even have the right to talk to him in normal times.
“Please cooperate with us.” The captain frowned. “What’s your serial number? Do you believe that I will strip you of your clothes tomorrow?!” The man in the robe was so angry that he laughed. He walked up, grabbed the captain’s clothes, and looked down at the serial number on his badge.
Without any hesitation, the captain pushed the man away and said in a deep voice, “If you continue to refuse arrest, we will resort to violence.” The man in the sleeping robe staggered and widened his eyes in disbelief. He did not expect the person in front of him to attack him.
His expression immediately turned extremely gloomy. He picked up the communicator from the table and called the number of the city lord of the planet. He pointed at the captain of the security team and said angrily, “Alright, just you wait. I’ll see who can take me away today!”
Very soon, the call connected.
“Yo, isn’t this His Excellency Anhuso? Why are you suddenly in the mood to look for me?” The Planet Lord appeared on the screen with a polite smile.
The man in the robe immediately vented his anger on the planet’s feudal lord. He sneered and said, “Alright, your people have grown up. They dare to barge into my house, capture me, and even attack me. If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer today, your planet’s management rights will be invalidated!”
“Aiya, why are you so angry? What’s going on?” The planet lord was surprised. “Heh, ask your people.” The man in the robe stuffed the communicator into the captain’s hands and took two steps back with a look of anticipation.
The captain of the security team was not afraid at all. He picked up his communicator and reported the situation regarding the few elven ladies.
After hearing, the Planet Lord calmly spoke
out.
“I see… Captain, what’s your name?” “Bell,” the captain replied calmly.
“Is the tip reliable?”
“The evidence is all present.” Hearing this, the planet lord nodded and slowly said, “Then what are you waiting for? Capture this guy. If he refuses to be arrested, don’t bring him back. Just shoot him on the spot.”
As soon as he said that, the man in the robe was stunned. He thought he had heard incorrectly.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he have ordered the police officers to retreat before firing them to appease his anger? This had always been the case in the past. Why was it different today?
“What do you mean?” The man was stunned.
The Planet Lord shrugged. “I should have expressed it very accurately. You broke the law, so of course you have to be arrested.” “…Are you crazy?” The man in the robe widened his eyes. “Have you forgotten who I am?”
“I know that you have a very strong background…” The feudal lord suddenly changed the topic and stopped pretending. “But so what? It is His Excellency Black Star’s will to not allow population trade. We are working for Black Star. Who do you think you
are?”
“You…”
The man in the nightgown was stunned, and his entire body began to tremble.
It was not fear, but uncontrollable rage.
Ever since he was born, no one had dared to speak to him like this! However, before he could throw a tantrum, Bell suddenly pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger. Bang! A laser beam flashed past, and the man’s head exploded, spilling burnt flesh all over the ground. The headless corpse seemed to be stunned on the spot. It swayed for a while before collapsing to the ground. Its nerves that were not completely dead were still twitching. Seeing this, the planet lord revealed an inexplicable smile. Without his secret instructions, the security team would not have acted so boldly.
“This person has been refused many times. Our team has received orders from our superiors to kill him on the spot!”
Bell put away the gun with a cold face and glanced at the headless corpse, his eyes filled with disdain
“Ptui, scum.”
It had been a few days since countless organizations expressed their stance in the conference held by Black Star. The chain reaction caused by this conference had already begun. The resources of more than half of the galactic society were activated by Han Xiao. The organizations of the various Star Fields followed the consensus of the meeting and began cleaning up the slave trade within
the territory.
The Beyond Grade A Association controlled the galactic black market and started from the core. They pulled out many slave trade channels and uprooted them. It was not just the participating organizations, the other organizations that did not attend also joined in. They were not looking out for Han Xiao’s face, but seeing that so many large organizations had responded, some small organizations tried to make use of the opportunity of attacking the slave trade to connect with the large local organizations. The anti-slave trafficking operation in the entire universe was carried out in full swing. As a large number of organizations worked together, batch after batch of slaves was rescued, groups of human traffickers were killed, and buyers were captured one after another. This included ex-slave sellers who had retired and started anew. Their real identities were tracked through the black market by the intelligence department, and they were pursued again. The cooperation of so many organizations was a rare sight. It was like a highly efficient machine. The efficiency made countless galactic residents exclaim at Black Star’s terrifying appeal. This information was naturally transmitted to the many Calamity Grades in the training base.
Training base, dormitory lounge. The virtual screen was showing the results of regional attacks on slave trade. Jotina looked at the screen with excitement.
“You actually have the same dream as me…”
Jotina clenched her fists tightly.
As the daughter of the Beast Ancestor, she hated slave trafficking to the extreme. Her dream of ending the slave trafficking in the entire universe was hidden in her heart and she had never told anyone about it.
However, she did not expect Black Star to have the same thoughts as her!
The difference was that to her, it was just a distant dream; but to Black Star, this was a goal within reach. “Black Star… we are indeed destined partners!”
Jotina’s breathing was heavy, and her heart was in turmoil. At this moment, she only wanted to give birth to a nest of monkeys for Black Star.
Over the past few decades, her admiration for Han Xiao had always remained the same, and it was even stronger now. ‘The rumors kept saying that Black Star and the Dragon Emperor were a couple, but so what? I won’t give up!’ ‘So what if the Dragon Emperor is a Beyond Grade A? When I work hard to reach that level, I will be able to compete with you on equal grounds!’
Jotina’s eyes were filled with a fighting spirit.
“Black Star, wait for me! The Dragon Emperor is not worthy of you. I will definitely snatch you from her!”
Chapter 1402: Shadow of Arrival |
The entire explored universe had never dealt such a heavy blow to the life form trading. Regardless of whether it was the underworld or the surface, the life form traffickers no longer had a place to stay. The protective umbrella that they once relied upon, avoided them. Be it the buyers or sellers, they were all silent. Many individuals or organizations that were once involved in the life form trading were investigated, and according to the severity and size of the organization, they were fined, imprisoned, or sentenced to death. The end of days had arrived for countless life form traffickers.
Of course, most people would not just stand there and do nothing. Resistance existed naturally, and the complicated situation of the life form trading ecosystem was thus exposed to the world. Sellers might have nowhere to run, but many buyers had power and influence and were scattered in various industries like stubborn stains in the cracks.
Many organizations were willing to exterminate the traffickers, but for a large number of buyers, it was impossible to clean up all of them, and many cooperative organizations would not agree. After all, the implications were too wide, and it would easily change the nature of the operation. Their own dark history could also be dug out, and there were many considerations.
Han Xiao did not insist on this. He only wanted to kill all the sellers. Even if there were still buyers who did not give up, they would not be able to find the supply for a long time. They could only think about it.
If any bold opportunists felt that the life form trading market would be emptied out because of this and took the risk to try to develop private customers in a one-on-one manner, the advanced civilizations that supervised the network were not just for show. The search program created by him, the Legendary Mechanic, was not to be trifled with.
The association and the advanced civilizations worked together to come up with a more detailed method of handling the matter. There were some new legal regulations, but Han Xiao did not need to involve himself in this.
As the chain links of life form trading were removed one after another, Han Xiao received more and more support from the galactic residents. However, although ending the life form trading gave him a huge reputation, he also offended many people.
Black Star Palace, private workshop.
Han Xiao looked through the feedback that the intelligence department had gathered over the past few days with a strange look on his face.
“Heh, the commotion is even bigger than I expected. This kind of thing really doesn’t benefit me much. These people with power and influence, no matter how respectful they appear on the surface, most of them think that I’m meddling in other people’s business. I don’t know how many of them secretly view me as an enemy.”
The buyers who had the ability to raise slaves and were not pursued were obviously not ordinary people. He had deprived them of their ‘hobbies’. Even if these people did not dare to express their dissatisfaction, they did not have a good impression of him. If there was a day when they could hit him when he was down, they would not mind stepping on him.
not for my individual strength, I would definitely not have a good ending…”
Han Xiao curled his lips.
It was a pity that his fist was big enough. Even if these people disliked him, they could not do anything to him.
Han Xiao did not mind if this created grievances.
He opened the interface and looked at the mission list. (Ending the Darkness) was already displayed as completed, which surprised him.
“It was completed just like that. The operation is not over yet.”
Han Xiao stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Right now, no one dared to take the risk. The traffickers who had yet to be caught had no intention of doing business. They were all focused on fleeing, and their trade chain was broken.
In a sense, the interstellar life form trading had indeed been temporarily terminated. As long as the mission was completed before it re-emerged, it should be enough.
“If that’s the case, the mission evaluation is quite lenient. The difficulty is within an acceptable range.”
Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
If the mission was to ensure that there would never be any life form trafficking in the galaxy, then not to mention a trillion experience points, he felt that even ten trillion or one hundred trillion experience points might not be enough.
This request was also very difficult. The reason it seemed simple was that he had accumulated a sufficiently high position. There were very few organizations in the entire galactic society that had his appeal, and anyone else would not have been able to do it.
Han Xiao did not want to drag it out any longer and completed the mission.
(Ending the Darkness] Completed!
You have received 1 Trillion EXP, 15 Random Rewards, and 3 Blank Character Summon Cards.
You have received the milestone (Slave Liberator)!
Slave Liberator: Your relationship with all Lawful Factions will forever be fixed at (Reverence).
You have received 3 Universe Legendary Points.
Universe Legendary Point: (Light of Justice] – You tore up the darkness of life form trading and brought the light of justice to this Galaxy. Countless people worship you as their idol.
Universe Legendary Point: (Deeds of a Great Man]—Your actions to end the life form trading will become a monumental work of humanitarianism. It will be engraved in history
and will be written in textbooks.
Universal Legendary Point: (Freedom Leader]
-You have saved countless despairing people and removed their shackles. Your existence represents noble freedom in the eyes of those who are saved.
“Heh, it’s done.”
Han Xiao relaxed and checked his gains.
The 1 trillion experience reward was mainly a reflection of the difficulty. To him, it was not a lot, but it was still quite a fortune.
Experience was still useful to him now. Although he had reached the Transcendent Grade, his total level still had not reached the upper limit. However, the cost of leveling up was even more ridiculous. He could not level up even with a trillion experience. It was simply a bottomless pit.
In his eyes, the most practical reward was still the fifteen Random Reward opportunities and five Blank Character Summon Cards… especially the latter, which allowed him to get other’s abilities again.
As for the effect of the (Slave Liberator] milestone, it would have been very useful in the past. However, with his current position, even without this milestone, he could have the same effect.
However, the merits this time could be considered as a stronger amulet, standing on the moral high ground. If the three Universal Civilizations wanted to target him again in the future, the backlash would be even worse.
Furthermore, this was also a huge Political Asset. If he had any thoughts about the position of the ruler of the galactic society one day, there might be some people who would welcome the great Black Star to Central Galaxy…
“Cough cough…”
Han Xiao coughed dryly and cleared his thoughts. He tapped on the table and pondered.
He made use of his influence to gather all the organizations in the universe to work together to end the life form trading. Of course, he could not stop this movement now, as that would damage his prestige. Although the mission was completed, it was not suitable for him to stop immediately. He had to continue.
