Everyone froze.
Yao Si could feel the person behind her tremble, almost dropping his weapon.
I'm sorry! You chose the wrong hostage!
The police officers in front that had been trying to persuade the criminal rushed forward without hesitation, swiftly advancing on him. A white gleam shone, brushing past Yao Si's ears. Thud!With aloudsound, it struck the person behind her.
She felt the grip on her neck loosenandthe person behind her collapsing weakly onto the floor.
"Miss, are you okay?" the head officer asked, lookingat her with concern.
Yao Si shook her head."I'm fine."She was just a little disappointed by this first kidnap experience.
"That's good, that's good." The officersighed in relief before breaking into a smile."Thank you for your assistance, we've been chasing him through a couple planets, and finally we have him."
Even though he soundedmagnanimous, he often turned to look at her with guilt,as though afraid she would request something horrifying.
Yao Si glanced at the culprit who had fainted."What crime did he commit?"
"He's a galacticpirate, he will often rob commercial vessels around F37, taking many livesin his wake."
"Oh." He, indeed,seemedlike a really bad person.
"Er...About this person, Miss Bloodling, do... do you have any more questions?"
Can victims of the galactic era have requests?Yao Si stood in a daze, thenturned to look at the frightened manager."Er... Will you guys pay for the damages caused?"
"Of course, of course." The officer nodded."I would like to express my utmost appreciation for thesetwo citizens, if not for them, the process wouldn't have been so smooth." He nodded towards the other two."It's a little urgent so I'll leave with the culprit now, what do you think..."
"Ah?!" Yao Si was confused but still nodded."Alright." Why are they asking me?
The head officer took a deep breath, as though having just unloaded a large burden off his shoulders. Turning to the group behind, he waved his arm."Let's go!"
Half a moment later, another officercame forwardandbent down toward the culprit. But just as he was about to push him into the aircraft, Yao Si felt a sudden irritable heat spreading through her. Faintly, she caught sight of a red gleam on theculprit's hands.
Her heart sank."Careful!"
But it was too late. The next instant a blazing flame emerged from the man in black's body, diving down toward all ofthem.
"Even if Idie, I'll drag everyone with me," hehowled.
The entire wall and the neighboring spacecraft wereswallowed by the fiery inferno. Yao Si's heart sank, feeling doom settling over it.
"Heh, we were prepared for your ability." The head officer scoffed. He raised his arm to press a button, and the next momenta white light begun shining amongthe fire, a white protective layer forming around the policemen and the spacecraft.
The blazing fire from the man in black was reflected from the white layer, bouncing back violently...
Just like that... It turned around...
Heading inYao Si'sdirection!
This wasindeed an unlucky day.
F*ck!Who did she offend to deserve such treatment!
The scorching flames flew towards her, itching to engulf her.Yao Si cursed and swore internally, her heart going cold. Just then, a sudden unfamiliar energy gushed upwards, bursting from her tiny frame. Instinctively, she straightened her hands, releasing that frighteningforce.
The room cleared in an instant!Only the sound of dripping water could be heard.
"..." What just happened?Yao Si thought.
"..."Bloodlings sure are scary, the manager decided.
"..." Do we still need to add on the space?wondered Old Liu.
"What happened?" A certain overprotective father seemed to have sensed something wrongand entered the room. When he saw the drenchedroom, he headed towards Yao Si.
His presence calmed her instantly, and an overwhelming sense of exhaustion and fatigue washed overher. Darkness clouded her vision, andshe fainted.
"Sisi!"

Recently, the members of the Galaxy hadnoticed that bloodlings that hadbeen committing evil all most of the time suddenly had a change of nature. They no longer fought at the slightestdispleasure and had even began to do good.
At the beginning, a few crews of commercial vessels who sailed near F37 had been hijacked by galactic pirates, but just when they were certain that all hope was lost, a few bloodlings came out of nowhere. They used their abilities against the pirates, wiping all of them out before leaving.
Initially, everyone assumed that the bloodlings were bored and wanted some fun.
But theseoccurrencesstarted to increase,and the bloodlings started to venture past F37 into other parts of the Galaxy. It grew to the point that as long as there were pirates, there would definitely be some bloodlings around to make them pay.
The entire Galaxywas shocked.
But that wasn't all, a few days later, the headquartersof The Galactic Alliance received a letter from the Red Planet's army. The letter only had a few words—Whereisthe bastardsnest?
The Alliance marshal was full of confusion? Bastards? Whatbastards? This wasafterall an official letter, couldn't they be more serious and state the specifics? Even though the marshalwas clearly annoyed, he didn't dare to confront them, worried of implicatingthe whole alliance.
Hepanicked the entire night. The last time the alliance had received a notification from the bloodlings, it was before the zerg entered the museum. The marshalheld an emergency meeting with the headsof the various races to analyze the bloodlings'latest mission, and togetherfinally came to a conclusion.
It seemed... that piracy seemedpopular these days. Were the bloodlingsperhaps referring to their nest?
The marshal hesitated. If someone was going to die, it was better if it would be ofbenefitto everyone.The various races gave their support. Besides, galactic pirates were an old and pressing issue. However, due to their wide spread , unforeseeable approach,and distant location in the middle of the common galactic region, The Galactic Alliance wasunable to to clear them out.
The marshal decided that regardlessofwhat the bloodlings were referring to, he would point themin that direction.
Hence, he sent all the distant locations ofthe galactic pirates. He waited for the reply in apprehension, preparing for a responsein case they weren't asking for the pirates but rather a certain clan.
The responsecame swiftly, andwith just one word—Noted!
"..."
Whatdid they mean? Why couldn't they specify! Who communicateslike that?
However, a week laterthe marshalfinally got his answer. The galactic pirates that had been bothering the Galaxyfor as long as a thousand years and against which the alliance had been helpless werewipedout in one night.
The bloodlings who had always kept to themselves and avoided troublehad actually went to the trouble of wiping out all the pirates. The ruler of the bloodlings, Mu Xuan, had even personally headed to F37 to destroy one of their nests.
The greatest plague of the Galaxy was uprooted by bloodlings just like that. It was even said that the bloodlings'internal department no longer greetedby asking "Have you eaten?" but rather"Are you bored? Want to fight some pirates?"
From that moment on, no one dared to attack commercial vessels. Those that managed to escape death were the ones in prison, having alreadybeen caught. But even there, they trembled in fear at the thought of the bloodlings. Instantly, the bloodlings'image took a swift turn for the better. Mu Xuan,who was already agodly figure to the bloodlings,became even morerevered and held in deeperregard, becoming the idolof the Galaxy.
In contrast to such an event, something minor happened as well: The ruler of the bloodlings boughtthe Eternal Brightness planet. Since then, it was no longer the main planet ofthe Galactic Alliance but rather the bloodlings.
