"Are you leaving or not? The three brothers who perished in an instant just now serve as a warning."

The leader clearly hadn't anticipated that this wicked fellow would be so unreasonable. He didn't doubt the danger he was currently in, nor did he doubt the fact that this person had no qualms about him. But out of respect for his own authority, he still managed to suppress his fear, strived to appear calm, and nodded lightly, saying, "I understand, brothers, let's go."

"Boss...?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The leader shot a fierce glare at the one called 'boss.' His perspective was far beyond these people. In fact, as he cast his glance, Feng Yi had already turned around and left, disregarding the surrounding people as if they were not humans, but a pack of dogs. Such arrogant and contemptuous behavior actually confirmed the leader's suspicions.

Feng Yi also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. To intimidate, necessary killing was unavoidable; he had never been one to talk big without action. Although he was reluctant to kill, these criminals who had been ready to make a move on him didn't deserve any sympathy at all.

By acting this way, Feng Yi merely didn't want the Mafia to take out their anger on the local residents. With him there as a grim reaper to deter them, he thought they wouldn't dare to appear nearby for some time.

When Feng Yi returned to his room, Hugo was already getting impatient, "What's our next move?"

"To Maraca Freedom Port."

"Going there... Do you have a plan?"

"First, to heal your legs, and meanwhile, wait for the war situation at the front line. Of course, we also need to resolve the matters here on Icebird planet. I have a plan that's not yet fully certain."

Considering Hugo's loyalty, Feng Yi felt no need to withhold information from him. While it's generally better to have as few people know secrets as possible to prevent complications, not telling him might make Hugo overly anxious, so he shared an abridged version of his plan. In summary, identity was of utmost importance.

Hugo nodded, showing no doubts about Feng Yi's plan and asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

"Heh, getting impatient, are you? I plan to take advantage of the night and leave this evening."

Hugo laughed immediately upon hearing this. How could he not be happy? He pointed at Feng Yi and said, "I'll go get ready. Don't forget what you said about recovering to the level of an ordinary person."

"Leave what needs to be left, like items of significance to you. The useless stuff can be thrown away. After all, my shuttle can't carry too much."

"What, you have a shuttle too?"

Hugo frowned. If Feng Yi said this, the shuttle must be housed within the Space Crystal. And if his Space Crystal had the capacity to hold a shuttle, it probably wouldn't have any issue holding a Revenge Shadow Rider mecha either.

Feng Yi nodded, "Yes, and don't forget that I am currently in the Federation. No one outside can recognize me, but there are not a few within the Federation who have seen Li Xiang's identity."

Hehe, things just keep getting more interesting. Hugo had never imagined that he would one day travel the starry seas on a private shuttle, and so he rushed back to his room to prepare for the journey.

Of course, what Feng Yi had done was also for Hugo's sake. After all, he was currently not very mobile, and with luggage to pack, taking them to the spaceport was inconvenient. Traveling on his own shuttle would serve two purposes: making things easier for Hugo and minimizing the chance of blowing their cover. Why not, after all?

Flaming Fury—a small shuttle Feng Yi had purchased years ago at the Freedom Port of Maraca. That experience was still fresh in his mind. Back then, he hadn't known the Blade Warrior, nor did he have his own mecha. He was just a solitary person drifting through the stars on this old friend of a shuttle when he encountered Red Cloud and then stumbled upon Caribbean space pirates halfway through.

At that time, the powder keg was the highest leader of the Caribbean space pirates, self-proclaimed as the strongest, most hot-tempered, and most uncultured explosive big brother in Bermuda. Who would have thought that this once mortal enemy, absolutely incompatible with him, could one day become his comrade in arms?

The Flaming Fury Legion, an independent combat unit brimming with a wild spirit, had no future left, whether they were rebels or space pirates. But they possessed a tenacity not found in ordinary people. This was like the difference between a child who grew up in a big city and one from the forest, a fundamental difference. And if trained properly, such a team could display combat prowess far surpassing any ace unit in the world today.

Now, it seemed the organization was about to gain a new member—a pilot whose skills could match those of an ace. Feng Yi didn't know whether Hugo would choose to return to the army or join the Flaming Fury, but he hoped Hugo would stay with the Flaming Fury. Of course, Feng Yi also believed that the atmosphere of the Flaming Fury suited Hugo better, since, after all, the big brother sometimes indeed was too much that.

The sky gradually darkened, and time quickly advanced to evening...

Feng Yi, with all sorts of thoughts in mind, showed up at the only dark spaceport on Icebird several hours later. The administration staff, who had been tipped in advance in the name of maintenance, quietly opened up a separate launch channel for the 'Flaming Fury.'

"How much G-force can you withstand? It could be dangerous if we turn up the acceleration too much," Feng Yi teased Hugo.

Hugo could feel his heart pounding with excitement and joy. He took Feng Yi's teasing quite seriously, and his words were filled with a competitive edge, "Hmph, however much you can take, I can take too."

"Let's start from eight times then," said Feng Yi. As he spoke, he immediately set the standard push to 20, combined with the shuttle's own 12 times gravitational buffering. This meant that the shuttle's initial speed upon leaving the atmosphere was nearly twice that of a bullet.

Accompanied by a jet spray, a beautiful arc of light cut through the tranquil night. In an instant, Flaming Fury shot out of the atmosphere and with constant plasma propulsion, Icebird gradually shrank smaller and smaller... until it became a white golf ball and then disappeared, leaving dots of light in its wake. Only the light from distant stars spanning light-years never faded, passing by the Kuiper Belt's asteroid clusters like fleeting glimmers.

Buffeted by the fierce solar wind, bursts of high-energy particles continuously altered the shuttle's course, which was then automatically corrected by the system. Meanwhile, the two men inside, unaware as if drunk-driving, watched the starry sky while chatting about various topics, sometimes engaged and other times disconnected.

It was only a few minutes before entering the Space Jump that Feng Yi finally handed a Space Crystal to Hugo, just in case something unforeseen happened. The depths of space were fraught with danger, not as simple as on the ground.

After all, the shuttle had been personally modified by the Blade Warrior, and he dared not guarantee that during the Jump through the wormhole, it would match the safety system's projected target.

Theoretically speaking, a pulse count of 132 suffices for a subspace velocity capable of initiating a Space Jump into a wormhole. This speed must not exceed 170 for too long, otherwise, the shuttle might get damaged by dark matter during the Jump process, potentially being ejected from the wormhole's boundary and ending up in an unknown spacetime, detached from guidance. Therefore, giving Hugo a Space Crystal was also to guard against any unexpected needs.

Two days passed slowly, and under the passage of time, the shuttle's pulse count had already reached a level of 135. With a burst of tremendous energy guiding the space, the high-speed shuttle plunged into the wormhole and disappeared into the vast depth of space. Shortly thereafter, they reemerged near the orbit of Maraca Freedom Port outside in astronomical units.

Maraca Freedom Port, the largest development center in the world's economy and trade, always gives you a different feeling every time you return.

After stepping out of the shuttle, Feng Yi casually hailed a magnetic levitation vehicle at the spaceport. The old driver was nice and amiable, even helping to pack the luggage for a while. But the amicability was only on the surface, who would have thought that such a steady uncle would also be a tiger when driving, disappearing in the blink of an eye with a push of the gas pedal.
