Tang Xiao smiled faintly. "You didn't really think I was counting on you to seize Midpoint Station, did you? Even if I didn't care about your lives, I'd still have to consider what would happen if you failed and dragged me into it, right?"
"Big Brother, this deal is just too huge—so huge we don't even dare think about it! How about we call those female slaves back and keep the music playing and the dancing going?" Dryden Vos's voice was trembling now.
