Tefra Giant Pincer Mountain.
The Imperial Army camp rested beside Tefra City like a colossal black beast coiled upon the ground.
Bai Pu and several Evolvers from Butt's team were hiding in the slave settlement beyond the Imperial Army camp's security perimeter.
These slaves had arrived with the Empire's fleets, large and small. They possessed no worthwhile combat ability and survived by mining.
The slaves could not even enter Tefra City and could only rest within the designated slave zone. To prevent them from escaping, they all wore heavy shackles around their ankles.
Bai Pu and the others had also changed into slave garb and blended into the crowd.
This was to evade the searches by the Demitri Family guards.
"Steel Heart, are you planning to ask the owner of the Rose Arena to act as an intermediary and introduce you to Corps Commander Galileus?"
Butt asked.
"That's one option. If it fails, I'll activate the backup plan."
"What's the backup plan?" Butt had a bad feeling about this. He thought of the three men, including "Copper Pipe" Gunther, who had been killed by the natives.
Although he bore some resentment toward Gunther and the others, Butt still felt somewhat saddened. They were fellow natives of Melting Pot Star, yet the three of them had died far too miserably.
Bai Pu closed the scroll in his hand, glanced at Butt, and said gently, "Trust me, you won't want to know... Rather than worrying about how to meet Galileus, let's deal with the trouble in front of us first."
"The trouble in front of us?"
Before Butt could recover his wits, the slaves beside them split and toppled away to either side like waves cleaved by a ship's prow.
Naturally, someone was driving them aside, telling these blind fools of slaves
