The command center officer was trembling nonstop at the moment, even if you didn’t look at his body, just listening to his voice, you could tell that he was trying hard to stay calm, but his voice betrayed him.

His voice was trembling too.

However, in such a situation, he surprisingly had the courage to defend himself!

Shorty clearly remembered, when that base commander opened his arms to protect himself, when he claimed that if they were going to kill, they should kill him first, at that moment, Shorty’s eyes even filled with tears.

Finally, that terrifying man gave up on the idea of killing him.

And all of this was due to the merits of the command center officer.

So internally, he was very grateful to this commander, he didn’t expect that just a casual act of his could result in such a great benefit.

However, he was still puzzled about the commander giving the most advanced spaceship of Jundelma Planet to those three people.

He could have let them choose any kind of flying vehicle they wanted, but it shouldn’t have included the one the commander gave them.

This model of spaceship was out of production because the cost of building the spaceship was too high. There were even opposition parties who seized upon this issue and were campaigning publicly about it in major newspapers and radio stations.

The current leader of Delmar was having a headache over this issue.

Shorty remembered that he was still gloating about it at the time.

Even though the commander noticed a change in Shorty’s tone, he didn’t start feeling smug. He continued to treat his superior with respect, even though the commander saved Shorty’s life. He didn’t take even a bit of pride in this, which secretly deepened Shorty’s admiration for this commander.

"At the time, there was nothing else I could do, after all, they spared us," the commander looked at his superior, "If we hadn’t offered some sincerity in return, I’m afraid they wouldn’t have believed us or made an agreement with us."

Shorty nodded, what the commander said made sense; if it were him, he wouldn’t trust someone who only made promises verbally.

No matter how nice it sounds, it all depends on action.

Seeing his superior slightly nod his head, the commander quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had interceded with his superior in front of those three people, he knew well what his superior used to be like.

Of course, he also knew that his superior now treated him not just as a subordinate, but more like a friend sharing confidences. However, he knew he should best leave that feeling behind.

If, because of this matter, he showed any sign of relaxation to Shorty, it wouldn’t be long before he not only lost his current position but might also return to that distant satellite where he was once exiled.

Therefore, he maintained his respectful attitude as before.

At the time, I thought it was better not to let them have any dissatisfaction, and I could tell that man was very interested in your spaceship, besides, their cannon was already destroyed by us.

"Under these circumstances, I privately gave your spaceship to him without your consent, please forgive me." The commander apologized with a slight bow to Shorty.

"Sigh, what’s with your demeanor?" Shorty hurriedly stopped the commander, "Although we have a superior-subordinate relationship, there’s no need to act like this when it’s just the two of us."

"Actually, you did the right thing; it’s clear that man isn’t someone to be dealt with casually. If you dismissed him recklessly at that time, who knows if he would have been provoked, and then—" Shorty chuckled twice but didn’t continue.

The implication was simple. If that alien man got angry, no one might be able to withstand his wrath.

The distance between Shorty’s hometown and Delmar Planet wasn’t far, chatting along the way didn’t make the time seem long at all.

Only Ba Lv looked unsatisfied, Jiang Cheng and Xuran both understood what she meant; the little girl hadn’t had enough of piloting the new spaceship yet.

The official residence on Erma Planet.

Although in many matters, Delmar’s manor showed inefficiency, when it came to tidying up the official residence, their movements were quite swift.

It had only been a few hours since Jiang Cheng left the manor, yet now there was no trace of the bodies scattered all around and the bloodstains everywhere from before.

Even the bullet holes on the walls had been repaired.

Everything in the manor seemed unchanged from before; people continued with their work, bustling around.

However, when they saw Jiang Cheng and his group walk in, their gazes involuntarily held tinges of avoidance and fear.

They had no choice; they were ordinary people, and Jiang Cheng’s bloodbath of the manor that day had frightened them out of their wits. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

They had never seen such a terrifying scene in their entire lives.

The man from the alien planet resembled a murderous demon, yet his face was calm, his eyes devoid of emotion, and there wasn’t a hint of bloodstain on his clothes.

This bizarre depiction was deeply imprinted in the minds of the manor’s employees, and they couldn’t forget it for a long time.

Many of them would often wake up startled from their dreams in the middle of the night.

Now seeing that murderous demon from before again, although his face was calm, they couldn’t forget the fearsome methods he used to kill that day.

Moreover, the short and fat man walking beside him was all too familiar to them; his hostility towards the three people from the alien planet had become an open secret, at least for those working in the manor.

And they also knew that those three people from the alien planet went to chase after Shorty in his hometown.

But judging from their current appearance, it seemed different from the rumors spread among colleagues. From their demeanor, they didn’t seem to be friends, but neither did they seem to be mortal enemies.

No one dared to glance at them more than once, not even at the short and fat man walking beside Jiang Cheng; the staff merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment and hurriedly moved aside.

None of Jiang Cheng’s group spoke, and neither the guards of the manor nor any special personnel approached to question them. The atmosphere on the scene was exceptionally peculiar.

In the office, the head leader discreetly pried open a corner of the curtain, watching the group approaching.

By now, the leader’s face was pale as he nervously asked, "Dear friend, in your opinion, are they bringing your subordinate to confront me?"

The leader sighed, "Who knew these three were so fierce? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have taken benefits from Shorty."

His good friend wasn’t surprised by his words, as Shorty’s demotion at that time already made it clear; the old friend must have received benefits from Shorty, otherwise, with the leader’s usual stance, such a matter wouldn’t have been shrugged off so lightly.
