Titan Industries, the Rebirth Empire, and the Supernova Battle Group—which had done nothing this time and hadn't even gotten to watch the show, only to suddenly receive the news—all had huge question marks hanging over their heads.
What the hell? Titan Industries had sent people to ambush Bai Fu, only for Bai Fu to capture Gali Aini first, and then capture the granddaughter of Titan Industries' current chairman?
That was even more absurd than five people ganging up on one player in a game and still getting one of their own killed. After all, Titan Industries had gone after Bai Fu armed to the teeth!
The news that Titan Industries had ambushed Bai Fu was already explosive. Their failure to capture her, followed by getting captured themselves, took the story's explosiveness to a whole new level!
In no time at all, even a remote tavern on a planet in the far-flung reaches of explored space was full of people discussing the incident.
Bai Fu had become the brightest star in the sea of stars, her reputation soaring like a rocket.
"How does Titan Industries manage to lose even this?"
"I thought Titan Industries had been lying low because they were planning something huge. Turns out they were just planning a huge screwup."
"Hey, at least you can't deny it was huge."
"If I were the chairman of Titan Industries, I'd resign on the spot. This is so fucking embarrassing!"
"Holy crap, Bai Fu's ridiculous. The fastest person in history to reach the Transcendent level—and she made this much of a splash the moment she got there? Was she born to make headlines?"
"Thank goodness we work far from the Edge World. If we ran into a monster that powerful and meddlesome, we'd better find new jobs fast, hahaha!"
