Reactions from All Sides

Silver Wolf had just settled into her gaming chair when her door was pushed open, and Bai Luoming peeked out from the crack in the door, looking into the room.

"Hey, Silver Wolf, have you seen my Jade Abacus?"

Silver Wolf then turned his head from his screen to look at Bai Luoming, feigning indifference, and said to him, "Look, isn't this it?"

After she finished speaking, she focused her attention on the screen in front of her, pretending to be debugging a plugin.

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoming peeked out from the crack in the door and walked to the place where he had been playing games. Sure enough, his Jade Abacus was there.

He picked up his Jade Abacus from the table, and as soon as he opened it, he felt something was wrong. Why was the Jade Abacus's interface a chat page?

He remembered that it should have been the main interface. Thinking of this, Bai Luoming raised his head suspiciously and looked at the Silver Wolf.

But seeing Silver Wolf diligently debugging the plugin, he dispelled his doubts and turned off Jade Abacus Mirror again.

"Alright, Silver Wolf, I'm going back to sleep now. You should get some rest too."

"Get out of here, get out of here!"

Silver Wolf feigned impatience, waved his hand behind him, and shooed Bai Luoming away.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming stopped talking and turned to leave with the terminal. Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Silver Wolf listened to the sound of the door closing behind him, and deliberately waited a second or two to make sure the footsteps were getting further and further away before stopping his previous pretentious actions and leaning back in his gaming chair.

After thinking for a moment, she took out her own device, set the photo she had just taken as her screensaver, and then put the device down.

"Phew, this is interesting. I hope Herta will like the gift I gave him."

As Silver Wolf had predicted, Herta's expression was indeed not good at the moment.

She stared blankly at the photo Silver Wolf had sent, instinctively wanting to reply with a question mark, but as soon as the message was sent, her terminal notified her that she was no longer the other party's friend.

Herta was taken aback. She really hadn't expected Silver Wolf to act so quickly, not even bothering to read her reply before deleting her account from Bai Luoming's terminal.

However, Herta really didn't expect Bai Luoming to end up in the hands of the Stellaron Hunters, but upon closer examination, it makes sense.

After all, isn't that what Stellaron Hunters are all about? To avoid the Finality times, they always pull off some big moves, and Bai Luoming is naturally a significant variable, so it's not incomprehensible that he'd be lured back.

There's one thing Herta doesn't quite understand: Bai Luoming isn't weak, so why was he so easily kidnapped by the Stellaron Hunters? Didn't he even resist?

Thinking of this, Herta opened the photos Silver Wolf sent again. This time she noticed some clues. Bai Luoming's expression was obviously forced for the photo, not natural, and his movements were also rather stiff.

The clever Herta could naturally see that Bai Luoming was being forced to do this. She didn't care about anything else, because if Silver Wolf could do it, he wouldn't have just released one photo.

Now she's more concerned with the information itself, whether it's the photos or the messages Silver Wolf sent.

They all carry a huge amount of information, and if used properly, they can even be used to analyze Bai Luoming's location.

Then, hehe, she'll see what that brat Silver Wolf can do!

With this in mind, Herta began to quickly trace the message back to its source, in other words, to unpack it.

Just then, Ruan Mei came out from next door, holding a plate of pastries. Watching Herta busily working, she asked curiously, "Darling, is there any news about him?"

Upon hearing this, Herta stopped what he was doing and was about to reply, but the words he was about to say changed.

"No."

"Oh, I just made a plate of osmanthus cake. Would you like to try some?"

Ruan Mei handed the pastries to Herta, and while Herta's attention was on the pastries, she also secretly glanced at what Herta was busy with.

However, Ruan Mei only glanced at it briefly and could only confirm that it was some kind of address tracking, but she still needed to go up and take a closer look at the details.

However, Herta clearly wouldn't give Ruan Mei that chance. She took the pastries from Ruan Mei's hands and unceremoniously told her to leave.

"Alright, I'll accept the pastries. If there's nothing else, you can leave now; I have my own things to do."

"Honey, why don't we do it together? Maybe it'll be more efficient."

"No need, it's just a small matter, you're completely unnecessary. Besides, aren't you supposed to help that woman suppress her Mara-Struck?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mei didn't say anything more. After all, Herta had already said so much, and it would be foolish of her to stay any longer.

"Okay, darling, remember to call me if anything happens. We're on the same side."

"I understand, let's go."

After Ruan Mei finished speaking, she slowly left the room and closed the door.

Seeing Ruan Mei leave, Herta unconsciously quickened his pace, rapidly analyzing Bai Luoming's information.

Luofu is really a bad place for her. First, she was bullied by the people of Luofu several times, and there's even a madman who keeps trying to fight her.

If it weren't for guarding the Astral Express to see if that guy would come back, who would want to stay in this godforsaken place?

Meanwhile, Ruan Mei left Herta's room with a somewhat somber expression. Herta had clearly discovered something, but she was obviously unwilling to share it.

But there was nothing she could do about it; after all, she was the slowest in terms of progress, and she hadn't even seen Bai Luoming yet.

However, she did not leave empty-handed. While helping the Luofu Sword Champion suppress the Mara-Struck, she happened to discover something extraordinary in her room.

With these things, she can do some interesting things, so the trip wasn't in vain. Even if the Herta doesn't include her later, she'll still have something to do.

On the Astral Express, March 7th was listlessly lounging in her room, resting her chin on her hands and looking at Evernight beside her with a bored expression. She asked, "When do you think we're going to Penacony?"

"Honey, don't worry. Knowing him as I do, even if we go to Penacony, we might not be able to see him."

Hearing this, March 7th rolled her eyes at Evernight and said irritably, "Who said anything about him!? We... we just want to see the scenery of other planets."

Evernight looked at March 7th, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yes, yes, my Little March just thinks Luofu is boring and wants to go to Penacony, right?"

March 7th nodded subconsciously upon hearing Evernight's words, but quickly sensed something was amiss from Evernight and reached out to strike Evernight.

"You're clearly joking with me, aren't you?!"

An unnamed secret room in Luofu:

Tingyun raised her hand and addressed the two white-haired women across the table. "Breaking news: the target should be appearing in Penacony."

Is the information accurate?

Yaoguang looked into Tingyun's eyes with a hint of inquiry, clearly skeptical of her information.

"Really, really, that little girl on the train told me that."

Which one? March 7th?

"No, it's that little girl with gray hair. What she said shouldn't be too wrong."

"I see."

After speaking, Yaoguang fell into deep thought and began to consider his next move.

But before she could come up with a concrete plan, Feixiao slammed his hand on the table and shouted at the two of them, "In that case, why don't we just charge in headfirst?"

As soon as Feixiao finished speaking, Yaoguang frowned and said, "No, Penacony is still the Family territory, unlike Luofu. You can't just go there whenever you want; you have to at least report it first."

"What's the point of reporting anything? By the time those documents are approved, it'll be too late."

After Feixiao finished speaking, he continued to explain to the two of them, "Besides, didn't Penacony also send us an invitation? And given the mess their the Family has made, our going there could be considered doing a service to the people!"

Yaoguang listened quietly to Feixiao's words. This time, she didn't object, but her beautiful fingers kept tapping on the table as she considered Feixiao's words.

Time marched on, and Feixiao grew anxious seeing that Yaoguang remained silent. Just as he was about to say something to dispel Yaoguang's concerns, Yaoguang slammed his hand on the table and shouted at the two of them, "Let's do it! The bold will get rich, the timid will starve!"

"We've already failed so many times, if we're still hesitant and indecisive, we might as well go back to being honest generals!"

"That's good. When shall we set off?"

"No rush, let's wait until your spaceship is repaired first. Anyway, the train will be delayed for a while, so there's no rush, right?"

"Alright."
