Qu Jianlei had already decided to give up the supplies on the Transit Star. After all, the stockpile there was not that large.
But the Abandoned Mining Planet... he really could not bear to part with it.
He carried most of his assets with him, but the supplies stored there were truly substantial.
Especially the Energy Blocks. Nearly thirty percent had been left there, worth well over tens of millions.
He had long known there were many wanted criminals in the Asteroid Belt, but the Department of Anomalous Affairs capturing three Supremes... that was simply excessive! Anyone knew Supremes were not easy to catch. Wanted Supremes would only be more vigilant.

But Qu Jianlei had witnessed the Department of Anomalous Affairs' methods firsthand.
They did not rely on the combat power of Awakened Ones. Instead, they used warships to impose a blockade before conducting large-scale searches, with warships serving as the main force in combat as well.
