Chapter 145: Extremist Beasts

“Sisi?” Mu Xuan looked at her questioningly.
“Mu Xuan…” Yao Si’s face filled with black lines. “This planet… might really be mine.”
Back when she had just awakened, Lu Ren was the master of the s.p.a.ce station. Due to the DNA inspection incident, he was brutally cheated by Yan Xuan. At that time, other than some Galactic currency, he seemed to have mentioned an ore planet, but she didn’t understand the situation and had never expected that would really receive a whole planet.
Er… she suddenly had an impulse to find out what else she had received…
“Mmh.” Mu Xuan nodded, not the least bit alarmed by her declaration as though the planet was just another lollipop she had acquired. With a step forward, he pulled her behind him before glaring at the bests with a chilling gaze. “This means that you… intend to take my cub’s planet?”
Even though there wasn’t a change in his tone, his cold demeanor sent a chill down everyone’s spine, and a thick silence fell over them.
After half a minute…
“She-she’s the boss of the Ore Planet!” Tiger-head snapped out of his shock. With a wave of his hand, all the guns were directed toward her. “Hurry and hand over the rights to the planet or I’ll have to kill all of you.”
“…” Mmh, this is indeed a courageous tiger-head.
She s.h.i.+fted her head to the side… she was probably not needed.
As expected, in less than two seconds, the threatening crowd of bests collapsed onto the ground, whining in pain. But it was considered mild since none of the injuries were fatal.
“Are you alright?” Yao Si walked over to Supervisor Yuan who was selling her out just a second ago. In that short second, his entire demeanor had changed.
“Ah?!” Supervisor Yuan stilled. Was he alright? What had just happened? Who was he? Where was he? The events were too shocking; he couldn’t seem to process the situation.
Lu Chen who had witnessed Mu Xuan’s prowess before regained his calm faster. “Oh right, where are the others? Where are they now?” There were at least a few hundred employees in each district.
“They… Oh right, they are locked up on the second floor of the office.” Supervisor Yuan paused, turning to glance worryingly at the bunch of people whining on the ground
Yao Si understood his worry and turned to glance at Mu Xuan.
“They won’t be able to escape.” He nodded, unleas.h.i.+ng his mental strength once more. The group stopped tumbling abruptly as though suppressed.
There was indeed a few hundred employees trapped on the second floor, and the majority of them were Yao with a sizeable number of bests as well. In contrast to the tiger-head and lion-head bests, the ones in captivity were a more docile bunch which consisted of cat-ears, bunny-tails, and dog-noses.
After communicating, they found out that it was a kidnapping and blackmail. The poor employee treatment mentioned by tiger-head was all fabricated and completely untrue. Lu Enterprise had always been among the top ten companies within the Galaxy and thus would never allow employee dissatisfaction to mar their exemplary records.
Due to the distance and relative lack of civilization on the Ore Planet, the wages here were a few times higher than in other industries. The reason Lu Family decided to employ the beasts who were notorious for their poor reputation was due to their physique and to boost the company’s image. It served as an advertis.e.m.e.nt for the company’s philanthropic and equal ways, so there was even less reason for them to ill-treat their employees.
It had always been a harmonious situation that yielded benefit to both parties until the appearance of a radical claiming that the Lu Enterprise were treating beasts as slaves and trying to obliterate their pride. Gradually, his words started to influence the other workers, and he gained a following. Not all the beasts signed up, but since there were less of them, no one dared to stand up against the rebels.
Like that, the matter blew out of proportion.
The rebels didn’t just hack into the security system, causing the loss of contact with the other planets, but also took hostage all of the employees in the various districts. Before the three of them had entered the planet, they were plotting on ways to take over the entire planet.
That was… until they hit a brick wall!
“Boss, I just informed the galactic police; they’ll be here soon.” Supervisor Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, his expression serious. “The other employees will be released once the police arrives.”
Yao Si nodded. It would be better for the police to handle the matter since there was a sizeable number of districts on the planet. “Oh right, who is the radical you spoke of? Which district is he from?”
“He is from District 3.” Supervisor Yuan said. “He’s called Feng Xiao. I heard that he can be quite dangerous with his S level physique and an ability! But no worries, District 3 is a distance away, so he probably doesn’t know about the situation here and won’t pose any threat…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden buzz could be heard. Their surroundings lit up in red as a screen popped out before them.
“Are you the boss of the Ore Planet?” a person asked from the screen. “You are finally here. Nice to meet you, I’m Feng Xiao!”
“…”
Didn’t you say he wouldn’t pose a threat?
Is eating their words a unique custom of the Yao?
╮(╯﹏╰）╭
“You dare touch my man? I must say, you sure have guts!” Feng Xiao scoffed. When compared to the tiger-head and lion-head, he had more human features. He only had two large fin-like ears and a pair of horns at the top of his head.
“Do you think it’s over just because you got back one district? I have retracted your call for help. No one will come to save you.”
He then broke into a fit of chilling laughter. “I had hoped for a peaceful handover, but your lack of cooperation is making that difficult. But it’s alright, everything will be fine after I kill you…”
He suddenly pointed toward Yao Si, his face clouding with a sinister murderous intent. Yao Si remained unaffected, but Mu Xuan frowned deeply.
“Don’t think you’ll be fine hiding in District 9. This whole planet is mine. In less than three days, I will head over personally to get you. By then…”
“Forget it!” Mu Xuan could no longer suppress himself. He waved his hand and opened a s.p.a.ce portal from which he forcefully pulled something out.
With a loud thud, Feng Xiao who had been in District 3 fell face first on the ground in front of the group…
“…” Yao Si.
“…” Yuan Chen.
“…” Supervisor Yuan.
Those who want to flaunt… shall all peris.h.!.+
