In response to the sudden incident on Tianbing Star, the Department of Anomalous Affairs had no choice but to further contract its defensive perimeter to preserve certain key areas.

They could not possibly let some unheard-of team casually drive the Department of Anomalous Affairs out of the Skyhook Star Region—did they not have any pride to protect?

Once they had retreated to the point of considering "pride," others would only think about retreating even further.

Leaving aside the military's reaction, even the Supremes who had come to help had greatly decreased. Apart from the Divine Script Society, there were practically no Supremes from civilian circles.

The planetary governments had not reduced their support by much, but when it came to the actual enforcers, the level of commitment had dropped considerably.

Everyone was just earning a little hard-earned money. Why risk their lives over it?

Among the various planetary governments, Tianrui had the greatest grievance and once again applied to lift the flight ban.

Their reasoning was quite sound. The ones who had seized the Anti-Smuggling Warship some days ago were, with a ninety-nine percent probability, Ran Bingluan's team.

Since they had most likely already left, why continue sealing off Tianrui? What kind of grudge was this?

The Anti-Smuggling Department supported this speculation. After all, they had suffered such a massive humiliation. They had to emphasize how powerful their opponents were for it to make sense.

As for the possibility that only part of the team had boarded the ship while the others remained on Tianrui... that would be far too unreasonable.

That was a team made up of Awakened Ones. If one of them could get aboard, then a whole group could get aboard.

Besides, a Company-Class Warship was basically impossible for one person to operate, let alone fight back
