Chapter 1176 Gossip
Hong Tu sneered and didn't ask any more questions.
He drank coffee again, as if he didn't care about the so-called truth.
Blake didn't expect him to stop asking so simply. He looked at him in surprise and wisely said nothing.
Being able to run this store here, he is certainly not an idiot. The other party no longer intends to pay attention to this matter, so he naturally will not rush to kill him.
But deep down in my heart, I sighed secretly.
He is truly worthy of being that lord’s subordinate.
This Black Star native had the good fortune to see a certain Naig from a distance, and that side alone was enough for him to completely remember the demon deep in his memory.
That kind of darkness and silence, like the darkness of the abyss, will never exist except in the Empire.
What interrupted Hong Tu's enjoyment of coffee was a mercenary group pushing in the door.
This five-person cosmic mercenary group is composed of five cosmic people of different races. Each of them looks quite fierce. Whether it is the clothes or weapons on their bodies, they all show that these people are not easy to mess with.
The arrival of the mercenary group briefly attracted the attention of the drinkers, but no one would pay too much attention. That would cause trouble, and no one in the universe here wanted to cause trouble at this time.
But this group of mercenaries are not peaceful guys. They are passengers on the same ship as Hong Tu, but it seems that other things have delayed some time, and they did not appear in this bar until now.
New faces mean they don’t understand the rules, and fierce ones tend to be unscrupulous.
Just like...
Hong Tu alone occupies the best position in front of the bar, and behind him stands a "subordinate" or "bodyguard", and it just so happens that both of them look a bit "weak", at least compared to all the strange cosmic beings around them. Said, they are really thin and pitiful.
"Hey, boy," the Nuckel star of the mercenary group walked to Hong Tu's side, ignored Mana's presence, raised his arm and tried to put his arm on Hong Tu's shoulder, "There are many of us brothers, and you are alone. If you can’t take up so much, leave it to us.”
Hong Tu tilted his head slightly and did not move, but Mana had already raised her hand and grabbed his wrist.
The Knuckle star was stunned for a moment when his wrist was grabbed. He subconsciously turned to look at Mana and easily recognized her identity: "Oh? A combat robot."
This kind of humanoid combat robot is already rare, and it's even rarer if it's humanoid.
The Knuckle star waved his hands to tell his companions not to worry, and with a slight pull, Mana let go, allowing him to retract his arm.
The bar became quiet. Except for the Salome dancer who was still dancing, the other cosmic people looked over and eagerly awaited the next development.
They are a bunch of thugs, and just because they don't want to cause trouble doesn't mean they don't want to see trouble. Who doesn’t like having fun?
But Hong Tu had no interest in being a pleasure in the eyes of others. He tilted his head slightly and said, "As the saying goes, first come, first served. I don't mind if you sit in other empty seats."
There were a total of five seats at the bar. Hong Tu sat in the middle, and the other four seats were divided by him. This was extremely uncomfortable for acquaintances.
Dadi suddenly said, "Why don't you go out and have a fight? Whoever wins will have the final say."
Hong Tu glanced over and saw that it was a Gaci star.
The Nakor star also glanced at the Gaci star who was watching the fun, and paid little attention to it. He turned to look at Hong Tu: "Your Excellency, give our mercenary group a face, how about it?"
The Black star behind the bar put down the cup in his hand, his eyes lingered on Hong Tu and the Knuckle star, and then looked at several other mercenaries.
Compared to the "nice words" of the Knuckles, the other mercenaries obviously wanted to use violence to solve the problem, and they were a bunch of trouble.
According to his understanding, the dark stars of the empire are always arrogant and would not give up their seats obediently even if they thought about it.
Hong Tu naturally didn't intend to give up his seat. He hadn't had time to ask what he wanted to ask, so how could he give up his seat like this?
And... no one has spoken to him in this tone for a long time.
"Mana."
"Destroyed things need to be compensated according to the price." The Black star said lightly.
Hong Tu put down the coffee cup: "Then throw it out."
Mana nodded.
No one here saw clearly what happened, but in the blink of an eye, the Knuckles disappeared.
The other four mercenaries were stunned. Before they realized what had happened, Mana appeared in front of them again, grabbing an alien with one hand, and two more disappeared from the spot.
The last two remaining cosmonauts suddenly felt bad. They drew their weapons, but it was of no use. Mana appeared behind them like a ghost and disappeared into the bar with the two cosmonauts.
The bar fell into complete silence. Except for the sound of music, even the dancers subconsciously stopped moving.
They watched Mana reappear behind Hong Tu, standing in exactly the same position and posture as before, seemingly never moving.
"It looks like the new power system is very good." Hong Tu tilted his head slightly.
Mana just nodded in response and continued to quietly act as a backdrop.
Hong Tu glanced at the quiet bar, and the people in the universe withdrew their gazes as if nothing had happened. They continued to do their own things, but they quietly moved away from Hong Tu.
Hong Tu didn't care either. He looked at the Black star behind the bar and said, "I want to ask you something."
The Black Stars waited quietly for his next words.
"A little tidbit about the Covenant."
The best place to get some gossip is of course in a bar like this. It’s very atmospheric, isn’t it?
"Star Alliance..." The Black Stars were not surprised. The Star Alliance was at its peak, and the Dark Stars who wanted to come to the Empire came here for that reason.
Hong Tu pushed the credit card forward.
The Black star did not refuse this time. He moved the star card under the counter with one hand, picked up the cup in his hand and continued to wipe it: "There are recent rumors that the Star Alliance plans to use a 'dangerous weapon.'"
"oh?"
"A princess imprisoned in a tower."
"484, hum." Hong Tu sneered.
The Black star glanced at him. He continued: "One more thing. Yesterday, a warrior of light appeared here, and it seemed that he was also heading for the 'Snake Heart'."
"Warrior of Light?" Hong Tu tilted his head slightly.
"The Light Clan rarely appears on the battlefield, but judging from his purpose, it should be to save that person."
"Very useful news." Hong Tu put down the bottomed coffee cup, "Last question, which spaceship can I take to go to Planet 484?"
Black Star: "..."
No, this really doesn't happen.
