In the end, under the gaze of his boss, the star thief tied up the white satin with great pressure—but it was tied quite perfunctorily, and the whole rope loop was loose, as if it could be loosened with just a little effort.
The people in the entire control room were quite speechless looking at the weird way of binding, but the instigator was very satisfied with it. After seeing Bai Duan being "tied up with five flowers", he nodded and waved to Bai Duan: "Come to me soon! Are you conscious of being arrested?"
The "unconscious" Bai Duan twitched the corners of his mouth, and walked up to the boy with black hair: "Eddie..."
"Don't talk!" Eddie gave him a hard look, his purple eyes were moist, like a cat who wanted to act like a baby but pretended to be arrogant and indifferent, "What you did to me two years ago , I'm still angry!"
Bai Duan: "……………………"
— This tone has been born for two years, which is really long enough...
Although he said he was angry, Eddie's left hand, which was not holding a gun, was quite honestly wrapped around Bai Duan's wrist and held it tightly, as if he was afraid that he would take half a step away.
Seeing Bai Duan obediently staying by his side, Eddie's eyes flashed a trace of satisfaction, and he couldn't wait to turn around and want to bring Bai Duan back to his territory, but was stopped by the star thief next to him: "Boss, then these other people what to do?"
"What should I do? The old rules!" Eddie's tone was full of impatience, "Everything is tied up and demanded a ransom, and those who pay the ransom will be returned, and those who don't will be left to do coolies to pay off the debt! Our Star Thief Group is expanding faster Too fast, there are so many places that need people to work!"
The star thieves suddenly agreed, grabbed their weapons and drove everyone together and tied them up—but this time their actions were not gentle at all, not only did they not leave any room for struggle, but if anyone moved, they would be unrestrained Hit it with the butt of the gun.
— This is their usual way of kidnapping people, not to mention how easy it is to do it.
"Boss, what about this aircraft carrier? Do you want to keep it?" Another star thief asked loudly, "I heard that this is the most advanced aircraft carrier of mankind?"
"Why do you keep such a bulky thing? Is it a target for someone to shoot?" Eddie made no secret of his disgust, "Call the transport ship to come over and take away everything on it, and blow up the ship!"
While talking, he strode out of the central control room while dragging Bai Duan, and walked through the smoky and dusty aircraft carrier with ease, looking more familiar than Bai Duan, who had touched the environment in advance.
Soon, they came to channel D3, stopping in front of a small ship invaded by the Soul Devouring Sable Star Bandits.
As soon as he saw this small spaceship, Bai Duan's eyes lit up, subconsciously "occupational disease" broke out, and he looked up and down carefully - but what first attracted him was not the ingenious modification parts, but the meticulous painting on the hull. Delicate white mink.
"...is this the spirit devouring mink?" Bai Duan asked, his tone full of curiosity.
"Yeah, I designed the painting myself, how is it, is it beautiful?" Eddie raised his eyebrows.
Bai Duan nodded slightly. He felt that the pattern of this white sable was particularly suitable for his eyes, and he loved it very much. He couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but it was a pity that he just moved it, but remembered that he was still tied up.
"In the future, there will be opportunities for you to take a good look and touch." Eddie opened the hatch of the ship and stretched out his hand to pull the white satin in. "Even if you ask me to help you draw a new one, it's okay!"
Thinking that this was indeed reasonable, Bai Duan finally looked back, reluctantly boarded the ship, and then — was locked into his bedroom by Eddie.
Breaking free from the rope on her body, Bai Duan didn't know that she should be happy seeing Eddie again, but needed to worry about what happened next to her. He realized that Eddie didn't seem to be joking, but really didn't want to put him back, and he couldn't help but sighed deeply. Although Bai Duan really wanted to be by Eddie's side and to be with him every moment, but: "... Eddie, I need to go back."
Eddie, who was in a good mood just now because Bai Duan was "caught" obediently, suddenly sank his face. Fortunately, he is not a willful person who knows nothing and only acts on his own emotions—or his willfulness has never been Used on white satin.
Suppressing his unhappiness: Eddie shrugged his shoulders: "I know what you're worried about, are you worried about your parents?"
——This is another drawback of Bai Duan being born in this world as an aborigine besides amnesia.
As a tasker, Eddie clearly knows that he has nothing to do with the relatives of the original body, and it is difficult to generate redundant feelings similar to family affection. But white satin is different. For Bai Duan, the relatives of his temporary body are really relatives connected with him by blood. Even if Bai Duan's spirit and soul are beyond this world, his feelings for others will be much shallower than the real aborigines , but the resulting sense of responsibility will not diminish in the slightest, not to mention that Bai Duan's nature is that if you treat him well, he will do his best to reciprocate.
Even though her affection for her parents is not so strong, even if her love for Eddie is far greater than her affection for her parents, Bai Duan can't do anything to make her parents sad or disappointed.
Hearing Eddie's question, Bai Duan was really relieved. From his point of view, his sweetheart was considerate and cute. Now that he understood his worries, he wouldn't make it too difficult for him: "Yes, If my parents knew that I was caught by the star thief, they would definitely be afraid and worried... "
"You don't have to worry about that." Eddie waved his hand, "I won't let you have any worries."
"...What do you mean?" Bai Duan was taken aback, with a hesitant expression.
Eddie smiled slightly, walked to the communication device in the house, and turned on the button. Soon, two anxious and worried faces appeared on the lit screen.
"Du Dun!" Upon seeing Bai Dun, the female Beta on the screen immediately burst into tears, eager to jump out of the screen to see if he was okay, while the male Beta next to her reached out to hug his wife at the right time, in case she He acted aggressively, but his eyes kept looking at Bai Duan, full of love and concern.
"...Dad, Mom?" Bai Duan stared blankly at the screen, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He couldn't help but take two quick steps to come to the screen, "Why...?"
"It's someone I sent." Eddie interjected, "Didn't you entrust your parents to Lao Lin to take care of before you left? After I received the news, I took over Lao Lin's work." While speaking, he She stretched her arms around Bai Duan's waist and leaned against his body. Although she tried her best to make a domineering posture, she still seemed quite clingy because of her lack of height.
Showing a beautiful and well-behaved smile towards the Beta couple on the screen, Eddie blinked, "After all, this is my father-in-law and mother-in-law! How can I leave it to others to take care of?"
Hearing Eddie's words, both Bai Duan and the Beta couple showed subtle expressions. Bai Duan opened her mouth and found her voice after a while: "Father, Mom, are you... all right?"
"Good! Good! This... Master Eddie..." The female Beta glanced at the beautiful young man who was leaning against her son, and still can't believe that he is a vicious and universe-famous star bandit leader, "He sent People took good care of us...”
— More than caring, the two Betas almost thought they had become nobles, but no matter how rich the clothes and food were, they couldn't calm the restlessness deep in their hearts.
—And this uneasiness was not relieved until seeing that his son was safe and sound.
"... Duan, you and this... Mr. Eddie...?" Bai Duan's parents had already learned from Eddie's subordinates the whole process of their son's acquaintance with Eddie. Not as ordinary and well-behaved as it appears on the surface.
As thunderbolts fell, Bai Duan's parents had already changed from stunned at first to calm and numb later. They are just the most ordinary Betas. They have been working on the factory assembly line for many years. Their greatest hope is that their sons will grow up smoothly, become independent, marry a wife and have children. They haven't even been on a civilian passenger ship a few times!
Bai Duan's parents would not object to their son's falling in love with a star thief—in other words, they dared not object at all.
Although the star thieves are notorious, their social status is not low. Even the leader of a large star thieves group like Eddie may be regarded as a guest of honor by various countries and races in the universe—after all, this This is an era where strength is paramount. Although it is opposed in name, the national government sometimes needs to rely on the power of star robbers, such as eliminating the enemy and making profits for itself.
Apart from the star thief's reputation, the only thing they worry about is whether their son really likes that star thief, rather than being forced to swallow his anger.
However, when they saw the picture of Bai Duan and Eddie getting along with their own eyes, Bai Duan's parents finally felt a little relieved. After all, the two seem to be very compatible and have a strong relationship. Eddie nestled in his son's arms obediently, his eyes were always fixed on Bai Duan, and he made no secret of his joy and love, and Bai Duan looked at him from time to time with connivance and love, that look full of warmth It really doesn't look like some kind of stealth.
—As long as one's son is happy, even if his son's partner is a star thief... it doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing? What's more, this star thief is so beautiful and outstanding, it is said that he is also of noble birth, and now he is even more powerful...
Bai Duan's parents comforted themselves in this way, and tried hard to let themselves accept this unchangeable fact, lest their son be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma. They even regret that they have been busy with work, stayed at the job for many years, and neglected to pay attention to the white satin. That's why they had nothing when their son took the "evil" road and cooperated with the star thief at a young age. I know, and now it's out of control.
When they learned that Bai Duan had been making illegal weapons for Star Thief since he was ten years old, Bai Duan's parents really broke out in a cold sweat and almost fainted. This is an act that is strictly prohibited by the laws of the country. Even if Bai Duan has been hiding the truth for nearly ten years, it does not mean that he can hide it for the rest of his life—so, it should be the safest thing to do now that the son of a star thief leader is his lover. But for the safety of their son, Bai Duan's parents felt that they had to do something.
After chatting with her son, Bai Duan's mother pursed her lips and turned her gaze to Eddie: "Master Eddie..."
"You can just call me Eddie." Eddie blinked his eyes, and his pretty and lovely face was lovable at first glance, "Mom."
The expressions of Bai Dun's parents distorted for a moment. From the slightly respectful "father-in-law" to the sweet "mother" now, the degree of cheekiness is really... indescribable.
However, they did not refute Eddie's address. Bai Duan's mother tried her best to calm her tangled emotions: "Eddie, you, your previous proposal, we have considered it..." She turned to look at her husband, Seeing that the other party also nodded, he finally mustered up his courage, "You said you wanted to take us to Hobbit, and we agreed."
"Mom?" Bai Duan's eyes widened in disbelief for a moment.
"Over the years, your father and I have been busy with work, so we didn't take good care of you and get along with you. Now... we don't need to work anymore, so we naturally hope to live with you and have a happy family." Bai Duan's The mother said softly, her tone and eyes full of longing—but in fact, deep down in their hearts, they were still panicking.
After all, Star Hobion is the stronghold of Star Thieves, and it can almost stop children from crying at night. Bai Duan's parents also grew up listening to the vicious reputation there, so naturally they have a deep psychological shadow on it. If possible, they also hope to live in their familiar hometown and live a peaceful life, but their concern for their son has finally overcome their fear of Hobbit.
Although Eddie once said that if they prefer to live in their hometown, then he will reach a cooperation and peace agreement with the country where they are located. Even if they become the "parents" of Star Pirates, they will not be arrested and controlled by the state. But the state power and the star bandits are opposing camps after all. If the agreement is torn up, they will become natural hostages and a burden to their son and daughter-in-law (?). This is obviously not what they want to see.
—Although it is not uncommon for parents like Eddie's parents to use their children as tools for profit, most parents still love their children. As long as their children are safe and happy, they will be willing to make countless sacrifices for their children.
