Refusing to Take the Blame

Qu Jianlei had guessed correctly. When the people from Tianbing Star boarded the 8384, they had already determined that Hongjingtian's team was aboard the starship.

The Asteroid Belt was very far from Tianbing Star, but both ultimately belonged to the Skyhook Star Region.

Hongjingtian had once slain Supreme Sigwa on Godley Star. That was no secret throughout the entire star region.

A few Supremes who had been on fairly good terms with Sigwa had wanted to investigate exactly where Hongjingtian came from.

However, Wanmi Mining released news that Sigwa had been a space pirate impersonating someone collecting protection money, which was why he had been killed.

For a Supreme to do something so dishonorable was enough to earn everyone's contempt.

Everyone knew that many Supremes did things in private that were no more respectable than what Sigwa had done, but they had not been caught red-handed, had they?

Once he had been caught in the act and then accidentally killed, with the Sail Consortium involved no less, he could only accept his fate.

If not for that, the Skyhook Star Region would have made arrangements against Hongjingtian long ago instead of ignoring the matter.

When Liu Yongming and the others boarded the 8384, they had already concluded that Hongjingtian should be aboard the starship.

Everyone knew that this person was extremely overbearing and had even dared to attack an Anti-Smuggling Warship, so they had made specific contingency plans.

But then another Supreme suddenly appeared, catching everyone completely off guard.

Liu Yongming could only salute again. "Greetings, Supreme."

He very much wanted to ask the other party's identity, but forcibly held himself back.

He had not asked Hongjingtian's identity before. If he treated this one differently now, that would be deliberately provoking them.

He could pretend not to know Hongjingtian's identity,
