Chapter 339: Opening Match with Imperial Admiral (18)

Shen Shuyi learned from the information sent by the system that the Dennison family employed a lot of illegal miners in its mining industry, and many of these miners were civilians abducted from the garbage planet.

Mining is the most dangerous and insecure job they do in the mining area. They don’t get paid, don’t even have enough nutritional supplements, and have no human rights.

But the Denison family is wealthy and in league with some ministers, so this matter has not been exposed yet.

Shen Shuyi restrained her expression slightly. If she could take over the Dennison family’s business and use the financial resources to expand her power, she would not be afraid even if the emperor wanted to take action against her one day.

Xavier noticed that she was distracted, “Someone will follow up on this matter. I will take you back to rest.”

“Okay.” Shen Shuyi was indeed tired and a little dizzy.

Xavier has a temporary residence on Hermes, which is a two-story villa in the main city.

The environment of Hermes is naturally not as good as Coruscant. Even the air is more turbid than other cities. There are radiation areas everywhere, and residents are crowded in the main city area where the radiation is weaker.

After entering the house, Xavier turned on the air circulation system, and the two of them tacitly slept in separate rooms.

Shen Shuyi took a simple shower, and System 66 reminded him in time.

[Host, now that you are in the same room, you can continue to seduce him.]
Shen Shuyi: “…” 66, you are too anxious, is this really a good idea?
“He and I still sleep in separate rooms.”

[For you, this is not an obstacle at all.] The host’s current task completion rate is 100%, and you can earn a lot of points as long as you keep going.

Shen Shuyi wiped her hair lazily, “66, why do I feel like you’re too positive?”

[Host, please call me the King of Volume System from now on.]
They were so busy on Hermes that Shen Shuyi didn’t flirt with Xavier on purpose, but they already had a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere when they got along naturally because of the hug therapy.

She would notice the other person with every glance and every movement, and she quite enjoyed this kind of ambiguous pull.

In this way, they stayed in Hermes for six days and then returned to Tuyati. If nothing unexpected happened, they would arrive in twelve hours.

Shen Shuyi was sitting next to the cockpit, feeling drowsy, when suddenly a rapid warning sounded above his head.

[Beep—Emergency alert, the spacecraft has been locked, please take emergency shelter.]
Then, the aircraft began to shake violently.

“Shuyi, sit down.” Xavier sat in the driver’s seat and checked the surrounding situation. “We must have encountered interstellar pirates. They have locked onto our spaceship.”

“Could it be that the other side is surrounding us?” Shen Shuyi contacted the system, “66, can you see how many people are on the other side?”

This was Xavier’s private trip so he didn’t bring any guards. If there were too many pirates, would he be able to handle them?
[Host, there are five spaceships on the opposite side, with dozens of people, and they are determined to capture you, but don’t worry too much. Based on Xavier’s previous battle record and the sturdiness of this spaceship, Xavier should be able to take you away safely.]
The aircraft kept giving warning sounds that it was being attacked, and the cabin was shaking more and more violently.

Shen Shuyi was almost thrown away and hit the roof of the cabin. Xavier reached out and pulled her into his arms, and with his other hand he quickly controlled the spacecraft to fight back.

The man had a resolute face, without a trace of panic. He opened the safety door of the spaceship and pushed Shen Shuyi in.

“Wait for me.” He looked into Shen Shuyi’s eyes before closing the metal door. “Don’t worry, it will be fine soon.”

The beautiful guide was a great temptation to those desperate criminals. Although he was sure he could kill all the enemies, what if she got hurt here? It would be better to keep her a secret.

Shen Shuyi put his hand in front of the door, “General, I can help you shoot from outside.”

The guide didn’t have much combat power, but she could still use thermal weapons. More people meant more strength. Xavier pushed her in and sat down, bent down to fasten her seat belt, and when he stood up, he subconsciously stroked her long hair with his hand, “Don’t open the door, I won’t let anyone come in and hurt you.”

“Xavier, don’t get hurt!” Shen Shuyi looked at him with a frown until the metal door was closed tightly.

Xavier turned around with a stern expression. The powerful fluctuations of his mental power, the emergency prompts of the spacecraft, and the scarlet warning lights dyed the cockpit bloody.

[Warning! The spacecraft’s protective device has been activated. Please determine the coordinates for the emergency landing as soon as possible.]
Xavier’s bony fingers tapped on the control panel, his azure eyes reflecting the surrounding red dots on the holographic star map. He chuckled softly, his Adam’s apple rolling as a hint of lazy murderous intent emanated from him.

“Just five converted ships.”

With a flick of his finger, he activated the attack mode.

After shooting down two enemy spaceships in succession, Xavier suddenly stood up and opened the hatch.

Shen Shuyi could not see anything or hear any sound from outside in the extremely closed cabin, and even the bumpy feeling was much lighter than outside.

She asked the system, “66, what’s it like outside?”

[He has already accurately shot down two of the five ships on the other side. The bad news is that the ships are running out of ammunition. Your ship may be shot down. Obviously Xavier did not give the other side this opportunity. He opened the door of the ship, apparently to let the pirates in. Host, don’t worry, you will not be in danger. This cabin is very hidden, and the other side does not know you are on the ship.]
Shen Shuyi saw that the favorability value had exceeded 60%. Even if it was not for the purpose of completing the mission, just because of Xavier’s desire to protect her, she couldn’t bear to watch him die.

“66, please alert me if Xavier’s life is in danger.”

Shen Shuyi unbuckled his seat belt and was ready to go out at any time.

After this incident, she had to speed up the development of a foldable combat mecha, preferably one that could be carried around and had more combat power than an energy gun.

Outside, after Xavier opened the hatch, the pirate leader Scarface Jack thought he was hallucinating. The pure white spaceship that had shot down their two spaceships before had now opened its hatch.

“Boss, I’m afraid there’s something fishy going on on the other side.”

“What are you afraid of? We have more people. Bring your energy guns and charge!”

Jack suffered heavy losses this time, and would not stop until he killed the other side, so he immediately ordered a connection.

“go!”

Xavier watched as a group of ferocious pirates rushed in with weapons in their hands, greed and ferocity flashing in their eyes.

He said coldly, “You have violated interstellar law.”

The pirates were about to laugh when they heard this, but then they saw Xavier’s face clearly.

Jack frowned, “Are you Xavier Lancaster?”

The people behind him subconsciously took a step back. Who in the entire galaxy had not heard of the name of this SSS-level Sentinel? This was an existence that struck fear into the hearts of countless Zerg and pirates.

Xavier sneered, “I advise you to run away. Reinforcements will be here soon.”

“Reinforcements?” Jack laughed. He was unlucky today. However, even if he was a 3S-level admiral, how could he withstand the siege of more than a dozen people!
Thinking of this, Jack laughed louder and louder, “So what, Admiral Lancaster? Today is the day you die!”
