TOP3 Strikes

On Tanya Star, the banquet continued smoothly.

Not long after, Tanya, the hostess of the banquet, finally appeared. She was wearing a purple dress and walked down the red carpet with an extremely elegant posture.

Kenz was momentarily stunned until Tanya reached out her hand. He then stepped forward, took Tanya's hand, and helped her continue walking.

Tanya stepped onto the platform, and after Kenz helped her up, he retreated to a corner and watched her silently from a distance.

Tanya walked to the center of the platform, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below. "I am delighted that so many friends have come to celebrate my birthday..."

"That man named Kenz must love this woman named Tanya very much." Below the platform, Liliath noticed Kenz's unusual behavior.

"Why do you say that?" Gu Ding, who knew absolutely nothing about matters between men and women, asked with some curiosity.

"It's actually quite easy to see. The way he looks at Tanya is very gentle, completely different from how he looks at others. And when he was holding Tanya's hand just now, he deliberately concealed his aura to the extreme." Liliath noticed these details.

"So it really is..." Gu Ding also remembered that when he was holding Tanya's hand earlier, Kenz's aura was indeed very well concealed.

After Tanya finished her speech, Kenz helped Tanya down from the platform.

The pre-arranged program for the dinner party finally began.

"Was the dinner party alright?" Tanya asked, turning to look at Kenz as she held up her wine glass.

"Hmm." Kenz nodded, looking at the woman in front of him, he felt slightly awkward.

"You don't like this outfit?" Tanya noticed. Kenz's gaze wasn't on her.

"I like it." Kenz glanced up again, then looked back at the wine glass in his hand.

Just then, a band climbed onto the platform and began to perform Tanya's favorite song.

"Dance with me." Tanya was clearly in a good mood when she heard the music.

"Hmm." Kenz nodded, having just agreed. His brow furrowed slightly for a moment as he noticed several spaceships landing at the port, and the people on them were from the Federal Government. He even recognized one of the ships as belonging to the Top Organization; it wasn't hard to guess that the ship carrying members of the Top 3 were probably inside.

Seeing the outstretched jade hand, he withdrew his spiritual energy from reaching towards the harbor.

Accompanied by light music, Kenz put his arm around Tanya's waist and began to dance with light steps.

When the song ended, Kenz reluctantly let go of her hand.

Before Tanya could react, she saw him walk quickly to a young man and whisper in his ear, "I have something to take care of. Keep an eye on things at the banquet."

The young man was a veteran member of the Beauty Pirate Crew. While not particularly strong, he was a trustworthy fellow. He usually handled things when Kenz was overwhelmed. He nodded to Kenz without asking any further questions. Although Tanya's birthday party was important, Kenz wouldn't leave without a reason.

"What happened?" Tanya asked, appearing beside the young man in a flash.

"I don't know, Lord Kenz just said he had some things to take care of."

Tanya frowned slightly and scanned the area with her mental energy. She immediately noticed the anomaly at the port.

At the port, several regular members of the top three pirate crews were setting up a blockade. Clearly, their target wasn't just Tanya's Beauty Pirate Crew, but also the other Interstellar Pirate attending the banquet.

In addition to the nine regular members in the top three, there were dozens of guys wearing strange cloaks whose faces were completely covered by the hoods, and all that could be seen was that these guys were extremely tall.

Under the cover of night, a long, dark shadow loomed over the group of top 3, accompanied by the sound of leather shoes striking the ground as it drew nearer.

"You top 3 people showing up here, you can't just be passing by, right?" A man's voice clearly reached everyone's ears. "Or are you here for a birthday party?"

"Of course we're here for the birthday party," a Yellow-haired Youth said with a smile. "And we've brought a big gift."

"Is that so?" Kenz's gaze turned slightly cold. "Unfortunately, we do not welcome people from the Federal Government. Gifts are unnecessary. Please leave."

"Kenz, is there any reason to kick out guests in this world?" At this moment, a thin young man suddenly appeared, his hair was a scarlet blood color, and his eyes were an eerie dark green.

"People from the Federal Government are not welcome here, and the least welcome are members of the top organizations within the Federal Government." Kenz had no intention of backing down. "You should be Benoco, the chief of the top 3, right? Taking your people and leaving is the wisest move."

"Wise? I think it's far more unwise of you to appear before us alone." The red-haired youth Benoco, smirked.

"You think you bunch of brats can do anything to me?" Kenz said with disdain.

"Why don't you give it a try and see?" Benoco waved his hand, and the other eight members of the top 3 immediately surrounded Kenz.

"Before we begin, I have a question: which department of the Federal Government do those cloaked guys belong to?" Kenz asked calmly. "As far as I know, people from your Top organization never cooperate with other departments."

"They're just a bunch of garbage collectors," a young man nearby sneered. "What, the strongest being in the Shallow Sea Zone of the Universe Sea, afraid of a few garbage collectors?"

"Fear?" Kenz shook his head with a smile. "I just want to know if it's necessary to spend a little more time taking them out along with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine members of the top 3 suddenly felt a blur before their eyes, and they were pulled into a strange space.

This space felt like a gigantic cage. The moment they entered, everyone felt as if their bodies were shackled. Not only were they incredibly heavy, but they could only unleash a tenth of their original Combat Strength.

"Do you know why some people call me the strongest in the Shallow Sea Zone?" Kenz said to the nine people, "Because my domain is called the Prison Cage Domain. Anyone in my domain will be affected by the weakening curse, reducing their strength to one-tenth of their original strength."

On the Tanya Star, at the port, inside the spaceship where the top three had arrived, a young man saw everything that had just happened through a projection on his wristwatch. He merely smiled slightly, "That guy named Kenz is really naive. He was the biggest obstacle in this operation; how could I possibly have overlooked the effects of his domain..."

I only realized today that the female doctor who treated me yesterday is a small-faced beauty (not the kind with a sharp, pointed chin like a snake spirit). She was wearing glasses yesterday, so I didn't really notice, but today, after she took them off, I was like, wow! She looks like she's only in her early twenties, but aren't doctors supposed to have doctorates before they can practice? Oh, and by the way, some good news: regular updates will resume tomorrow! (To be continued...)
