The eyes of all the desperate men present lit up with fervor when they heard Sun Duoxiang's promise.

"As expected of the boss!"

The main reason they chose this line of work was the high pay, not caring if they had to lick blood off the edge of a blade.

There's a saying that men die for wealth, and birds die for food, not to mention the high value of star coins in this world.

Someone once said in a forum on Star Ring City that if you had enough star coins, you could become the master of this world and do whatever you wanted. In this world, nothing is more important than star coins. They can buy everything!

Su Mo nodded, watching Sun Duoxiang's pep talk.

Sun Duoxiang didn't climb to this position entirely by luck. He had indeed grown and could handle things on his own.

Just then, Su Mo's phone vibrated.

He picked it up and glanced at it. Tang Qin had sent him a message via remote communication.

Su Mo opened it, thought for a moment, and then put his phone away.

Before long, Sun Duoxiang finished his instructions. He dismissed everyone and then asked Su Mo with a fawning expression.

"Boss, all settled."

"You did well. Pack your things and come back to Earth Star with me."

Su Mo said simply.

"Ah? Is that really okay?"

Sun Duoxiang felt a little apprehensive. What if he was arrested as soon as he set foot on Earth Star?

"I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

Su Mo wasn't bragging. If anything really happened, he could just ask Long Ming for help.

"Alright, I'll go with you. I haven't been back to Earth Star for so long, I'm starting to miss it."

Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.

"Let's go."

Su Mo didn't waste any more words.

...

The next morning, a civilian transport ship arrived at the Imperial Capital Interstellar Airport.

Sun Duoxiang changed into trendy clothes, looking like a cheerful young man, and followed Su Mo off the ship.

As soon as they disembarked, Su Mo narrowed his eyes.

He saw several strange gazes looking their way. Soon, Su Mo found the source of the strangeness.

Mixed in with the crowd of passengers were several professional surveillance personnel. Judging from their vibe, they didn't seem to be from the Black and White Institution, but more like the Federal Inquisition Department.

If he wasn't mistaken, they were targeting Sun Duoxiang. It seemed Sun Duoxiang's worries weren't unfounded; he was indeed on a surveillance list.

A man and a woman hiding in the crowd of passengers were pretending to communicate casually.

"Target confirmed, it's Mr. Ghost from the Senluo Organization, Sun Duoxiang."

"That guy has some nerve, actually entering the Federation so openly. He's bolder than most."

"What do we do now? Arrest him directly? I checked, and this is a rare opportunity. He didn't bring many subordinates, just one companion next to him."

"Hold off for now, call in more manpower. We've caught a big fish this time."

...

"Boss, where are we going now?"

Sun Duoxiang asked excitedly.

Su Mo was about to answer Sun Duoxiang when his phone suddenly vibrated. Mo Boke was calling, so he answered it.

"Boss, I've arrived in the Imperial Capital, where are you!"

"I just got back from Star Ring City. I'll send you the address later, we'll meet there. Have you contacted Xiao Wen yet?"

Su Mo asked.

"Boss, you can rest assured that I've taken care of it. Xiao Wen is currently leading the fleet back. Boss, have you had breakfast yet? I'll buy you a lavish breakfast..."

In addition to praising himself, Mo Boke kept flattering Su Mo.

Sun Duoxiang, who was next to him, couldn't stand it. This grandson was trying to steal his thunder, so he hurriedly chimed in.

"There's no need for you to buy it. If we want to eat, we'll just find a shop on the roadside later."

"Is that necessary?"

Mo Boke immediately complained, "Boss, Sun Duoxiang is jealous, jealous that we have such a good relationship."

Su Mo sighed and said, "Alright, stop bickering. See you in a bit."

Then he hung up the phone.

Sun Duoxiang grumbled beside him, "Boss, why did you find this guy? He's unreliable."

"He's alright."

Su Mo replied faintly, holding his phone and typing non-stop.

"Boss, who are you texting?"

Sun Duoxiang asked curiously.

"Texting Tang Qin, asking her to coordinate a bit. Otherwise, you might get arrested later."

Su Mo explained calmly.

"Holy crap, you're serious."

Sun Duoxiang swallowed hard.

Su Mo finished sending the message and kept looking around. He noticed that even more plainclothes officers were approaching from all directions.

It looked like they were about to make a move.

Sun Duoxiang also sensed something was wrong.

"Boss, they're surrounding us."

"Don't do anything, let's just walk our way out."

Su Mo led Sun Duoxiang to continue walking out, as if nothing had happened.

Just as the encircling members of the Inquisition Department were preparing to act, the lead captain's wrist device vibrated, and a message popped up.

"How is this possible?"

He glanced at it, his face filled with disbelief. Then his expression changed several times, and finally, he gave the order.

"Withdraw!"

"Huh?"

Everyone was confused. The big fish was about to slip through the net, and they were just giving up?

"That's an order."

The lead captain said coldly with displeasure.

"Yes!"

...

On the other side, Su Mo's phone also popped up with a message from Tang Qin.

"Coordination complete."

Su Mo said to Sun Duoxiang, "It's alright now."

Sun Duoxiang also noticed that the officers were all retreating, and he said to Su Mo excitedly, "The boss is still awesome."

"Save the flattery for later, let's meet up with Mo Boke first."

Su Mo quickened his pace.

Sun Duoxiang quickly followed.

...

Not long after, Su Mo met up with Mo Boke and Sun Duoxiang outside the high walls of the Imperial Capital, on Second Central Avenue. Mo Boke was holding a bag of lavish breakfast in each hand.

"Boss Su Mo, this is the breakfast I prepared for you. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little of everything."

Mo Boke handed it over eagerly.

"Just give it to me."

Sun Duoxiang reached out to take it directly.

"It's not for you, go buy your own if you want to eat."

"Is that necessary?"

...

Su Mo shook his head helplessly, watching the two argue. "I'll go first, you guys keep arguing!"

"Boss, wait for me."

...

Sun Duoxiang and Mo Boke quickly chased after him.

More than an hour later, Su Mo led the two into the high walls, arriving at the West District.

There was a seashell-shaped building here, heavily guarded at the entrance.

From time to time, black hovercars could be seen stopping at the entrance. The windows rolled down, revealing faces of different ethnicities. They consciously accepted questioning and inspection.

"Boss, where is this? What are we doing here?"

Sun Duoxiang asked curiously.

Su Mo stroked his chin and explained, "To attend the Heroes' Assembly!"
