"Yes. I won't let her have the drink. Let me have a drink with the Captain."
Kyle shook the liquid very skillfully, raised the glass and gestured to Leo. Leo was naturally very happy and also raised his glass to clink with his.
'Ding-'
The two of them raised their heads and drank the drinks in their cups in one gulp.
Kyle only felt that what he drank was similar to a mixture of liquor and soda on Earth, like a stream of hot air rushing straight from his throat into his stomach.
"happy!"
"very good!"
After Kyle finished the drink in the cup, Leo narrowed his eyes and the joy on his face became even more intense. He immediately patted his chest and promised: "Mr. Kyle. Anyway, I have been in the Galactic Alliance for decades. You are new here and there must be many things you are not familiar with. If you have any needs or concerns, I will do my best to help you solve them!"
"That's really great."
Kyle's eyes lit up, and he asked a question he hadn't figured out yet, "Captain, how did you know we were outsiders? Just by looking at the model of the starfighter we were flying?"
Leo laughed dumbly and shook his head, "Of course not. There are so many planetary civilizations in the Galactic Alliance, and there are countless civilizations that can reach the technological level of building spacecraft for outer space travel. There are thousands of interstellar fighter models, if not tens of thousands. How can it be so easy to identify the origin of the pilot by the model of the fighter?"
Kyle nodded, waiting for his further answer.
"Let me put it this way. Most planetary civilizations are self-sufficient and rarely travel outside in spaceships. After all, there are too many known and unknown dangers lurking in the vast outer space."
Leo held up three fingers and said slowly: "All the spaceships going out have distinct marks of power, and only three types of people will often drive spaceships out. The first type is people who are protected by the Nova Empire Legion. Nova is one of the most prosperous economic planets in the Galactic Alliance. Many people who seek business, trade and purchase goods will choose to go to Nova. The second type is people from the Kree Star Legion. The Kree pursue fighting and killing, and often want to start a large-scale war regardless of race in the Galactic Alliance-"
Having said this, he suddenly stopped.
"Captain, who are the third category?" Kyle asked curiously.
Leo smiled and said, "The third category is interstellar hunters. They do not belong to any civilized forces, and they only travel in outer space for money and resources. On many civilized planets, there is a profession called intermediary. From the intermediary, interstellar hunters can receive bounty missions issued by civilized planets, or hunt creatures with bounties on them, or look for some rare items, etc."
Kyle's heart moved, and he asked anxiously: "Intermediary, do they have a wide network of contacts?"
Leo answered very confidently, "Of course. The intermediary belongs to the gray area apostle between black and white. As a middleman, he has exchanges with all the major civilizations of the Galactic Alliance! It can be said that once there is any disturbance in the Galactic Alliance, the intermediary is definitely the second one to know!"
Kyle and Lorna looked at each other. If they found the middleman, would they still be worried about not being able to find the whereabouts of Howard and his group
Kyle didn't think too much and said to Leo directly: "Captain, I want to discuss a business deal with you."
"Oh, what business?" Leo suddenly seemed interested and rubbed his palms habitually.
"Take us to a civilized planet with a mediator."
Kyle said, pulling out a piece of krypton gold that was shining with brilliant blue light from his arms, and said calmly: "I will use this energy core as a reward."
As soon as Leo saw the krypton gold, he immediately stood up, excited and surprised, "Is this an energy crystal core? The internal energy is too pure, it can actually reveal such a gorgeous texture!"
"How about it? This should be a very simple thing for you." Kyle put the krypton gold directly on Leo's palm without hesitation.
Leo held the krypton gold tightly in both hands, looking at it carefully, greed flashed across his eyes, and he quickly gathered the krypton gold in his palm, his face as gloomy as water, restraining his joy.
He waved his hand, and the armed guards around him immediately rushed forward with weapons, surrounding the chair area where Kyle and Luna were.
Kyle was not surprised by this, but rather expected it. He sighed slightly and said, "Is it still going to be like this?"
When Leo talked about the three types of people active in outer space, the identities of these people were basically revealed, that is, the third type that does not belong to any civilized forces - interstellar hunters. To put it bluntly, they can be called interstellar robbers.
Leo no longer concealed his true face. His previous gentleness was swept away, replaced by greed and murderous intent. "You knew it a long time ago? Why did you hand the energy core to me obediently?"
"Alien idiot, the boss wants to give you a chance!" Luna suddenly spoke, looking at Leo with pity and disgust in her eyes.
"Give me a chance? What chance can you give me, you are just a few natives of Earth?" Leo sneered, "From the moment you enter this spaceship, all your property belongs to us! Do you still expect that the iron bodyguard outside the door can rush in to save you? I guess by now, Green Blade has already torn its body into pieces!"
"Are you done?"
Kyle looked at him coldly. He just stood up, but staggered and almost sat back down. Fortunately, Luna reached out and supported him in time.
"Boss, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with that drink?" Luna's face changed slightly, and she looked at the empty cup on the table with a few drops of sweet yellow liquid still left.
"Correct answer, but unfortunately there is no reward. I put a large enough dose of nerve-paralyzing venom in that drink. Even a god would be unable to move when the poison takes effect."
Leo held the krypton gold in his hand and looked at Kyle and the other two as if they were prey caught in a trap. He grinned and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will sell you to others as human slaves, and I will also visit the intermediary for you. This is the first lesson I teach you outsiders. No matter where you are, the strong will prey on the weak and the strong will be respected!"
Chapter 382 Who is robbing whom
Lorna supported the staggering Kyle, looked at the ugly face of Captain Leo, and the alien guards surrounding them with laser guns, and spat in disgust: "I thought the Galactic Alliance was a high-tech civilization, but I didn't expect it to be a hundred times darker and dirtier than the underground world on our Earth."
“Miss Human, what do you know?” Leo smiled, looking down at the krypton gold in his hand, his eyes filled with obsession and fanaticism, and he laughed: “No matter what alien race, when technological civilization develops to the end, the ultimate pursuit is resources! Resources are necessary for life! Some races would even give up their hometowns for resources and step into the outer space full of death dangers. Some life races can even launch an interstellar war covering a dozen light years for a resource-rich planet!”
"The Galactic Alliance is indeed the largest and most prosperous civilized galaxy, but because of this, our demand for resources has reached an exaggerated level!"
Leo put away the krypton gold without any guilt, and said as a matter of course: "Besides, we are interstellar hunters. It is normal for us to plunder resources in outer space."
Behind the scene of magnificent civilization lies a bloody and bottomless darkness!
This is the current situation of the Galactic Alliance. The closer it is to the end of civilization, the more the laws will tend to be towards the ancient primitive era.
Luna was silent for a while. Her vision of the Galactic Alliance, where advanced technological civilization and alien races would coexist peacefully, was completely shattered.
"The end of development and evolution is no longer beauty and peace, but a serious lack of resources. This is really ridiculous." Kyle shook his head and said to himself.
A name suddenly flashed through his mind.
Thanos.
"Okay, enough talking to you, guards, capture these two for me!" Leo waved his hand, and several alien guards immediately stepped forward, took out an instrument that looked like an evolved version of shackles, and were about to tie up the paralyzed and poisoned Kyle and the weak woman Luna.
'Bang, boom, boom!'
At this moment, outside the reception room, through the thick steel plate protective door, dense and powerful explosions were faintly heard! Even the floor of the interstellar spacecraft began to vibrate!
"Is this the same thing?" Leo's face changed slightly. It was obvious that there was a gunfight outside the door.
Kyle laughed instead and said, "Captain, you don't think that my iron bodyguard can be dealt with so easily by your men, do you?"
Lorna also laughed. These self-important aliens had no idea about the combat power of the Iron Man suit made by Tony, the recognized genius engineer on Earth.
"You outsiders, damn it! No need to take prisoners, just shoot them!"
Leo quickly stepped back and gave a stern order.
Twenty or so alien guards raised their laser guns, quickly aimed and pulled the trigger. Laser beams as hot as daylight formed a dazzling and terrifying rain of light, bursting out from all directions and densely covering Kyle and the other man.
"You came just in time."
Kyle suddenly pulled Luna's arm and let her fall into his arms. He showed no trace of numbness or poisoning as before, and stretched out his tightly clenched fists.
