Chapter 1066
Yves stared at David for a moment.
He could not see anything wrong with him.
He could not wrap his head around it. David was just a wanted criminal at peak Cosmos Rank. Could he still have other trump cards?
There were so many bounty hunters out there watching.
Yves could not afford to lose his face after David said that to him.
A voice stopped him when he could not control himself and wanted to strike.
“Yves, come back!”
The speaker was Reggie, the captain of the Berserk Hunters.
“Captain, this brat dares to ignore me. Let me cripple him first,” Yves said without looking back
“I told you to come back!” Reggie said with a heavier tone.
‘Um…’
Yves was stunned.
When Captain Kraut spoke in this tone, Yves would not dare to disobey him.
Looking at David, Yves said fiercely, “Boy, I’ll take care of you later!”
After glancing at Mia and Astrid behind David, he turned around and prepared to return to the Galaxy Warship to see what Captain Kraut had to say.
“What a piece of trash!” David said disdainfully.
His sound resounded throughout the void.
Everyone present stared at David in shock.
How could a wanted criminal be so arrogant?
How dare he call the deputy captain of Berserk Hunters a piece of trash?
Yves, who had just turned around, immediately stopped and slowly turned to look at David.
“What did you say? Do you dare to say it again?”
“I said… You’re a piece of trash. Go home now! Don’t embarrass yourself here,” David said without fear.
“You’re asking to die!” Yves said through gritted teeth.
After he finished saying this, his body disappeared in place, and he rushed toward David.
“Yves!” Reggie’s voice came from the Galaxy Warship.
However, he could not stop Yves anymore.
As the deputy captain of the Berserk Hunters, he was a beginner Celestial Ranker.
So, when had anyone ever insulted him like this? Furthermore, he had done so in front of millions of bounty hunters.
If Yves accepted it, how could he continue to show his face in the bounty hunter community in the future?
At this time, he was even ignoring Reggie’s words.
One could see how angry he was.
Yves crossed the distance of more than ten kilometers in the blink of an eye. When he reached David and was about to cripple David, he suddenly saw another person in front of that brat. It was the veiled woman behind David.
‘So, David is just a piece of trash that hides behind women.’ Yves chuckled internally.
Since the woman was coming to him, then he would not hold back David could not escape from him anyway, so he should take advantage of the woman first.
Yves reached out his hand toward Astrid.
He would enjoy her slowly after he crippled David. When he thought about how he could enjoy two peerless beauties later, Yves felt very excited.
David did not expect Astrid to run in front of him suddenly, not caring about her safety. Of course, he would not let Astrid suffer even the slightest injury.
However, when he was about to do something, his mind power sensed powerful energy.
This person was powerful.
Judging from that, the person should be a peak Celestial Ranker.
So, they were just slightly below him. David grabbed Astrid and changed their positions in a blink of an eye, pulling Astrid behind him.
He did not know whether the person who suddenly appeared was a friend or a foe.
chapter 1067
David would act based on the situation later.
He was also using his mind power to monitor the changes around him.
Once he sensed something wrong, he would immediately take action even if he had to expose that he was a partial Infinity Ranker,
He would deal with the strong individual who suddenly appeared after catching them off guard.
Otherwise, he might not guarantee Mia and Astrid’s safety when so many people were surrounding him.
Everyone at the scene saw a cold light flashing past.
“Ah!”
It was followed by a scream that resounded throughout the void. A voice then resounded in the ears of millions of people.
“Whoever dares to insult Her Royal Highness must die!”
A middle-aged man with a sharp sword appeared in front of David.
Yves stood not far away. His left hand was on his right shoulder, and there was a look of pain on his face.
At this time, the place where his right arm should be was empty. Blood was gushing out, splashing all over the void.
The cold light just now chopped Yves’ right hand that was reaching out toward Astrid before he could react.
When Yves saw the face of the man who cut off his arm, his whole body began to shake violently.
“A-A-Are you Atlas Reyes, the head of White Tiger Hall?
The middle-aged man ignored Yves. He turned to face David, knelt on one knee in the void, and said respectfully, “Atlas Reyes, the head of White Tiger Hall, greets you, Your Royal Highness Princess Astrid. Please punish me for being late to your rescue.”
David reacted. He took a step sideways and let Astrid walk in front of him.
“Atlas, you may rise,” Astrid said.
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness!”
After Atlas finished speaking, he got up, took a few steps forward, and stood behind Astrid.
Princess Astrid was the person with the highest status here, so Atlas would naturally listen to Astrid’s orders
He would do whatever Astrid told him to.
At this time, he did not have the power to make his own decisions.
Yves looked at everything before him and almost fainted after staggering backward.
This veiled woman was the emperor’s only daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess
Astrid of the Empire
He had almost molested Her Royal Highness just now.
“This is a crime that will wipe out my entire family! W-W-What should I do?
Yves slowly turned his head to the Berserk Hunters’ Galaxy Warship, hoping to get Captain Kraut’s help
However, how would Reggie dare to come forward?
The correct way of handling this was to directly cut ties with Yves.
Reggie would only help him if he was ready to kill himself in the process.
There was no noise in the void since the arrival of Atlas, the cutting of Yves’ arm, and the greeting of the princess.
Millions of bounty hunters had yet to recover fully
Even the head of the four bounty V groups staredat Astrid and Atlas behind her with shock
The former was Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of the empire, the most beloved daughter of the emperor, and lier status even surpassed that of all the
princes Furthermore, the latter’s status was not low as well He was the head of White Tiger Hall, one of the four great halls of the Empire Plus, he was also a peak Celestial Ranker.
Indeed, they knew something was wrong.
No wonder Mia chose to leave the four fairies and go with David,
Judging from how Princess Astrid ignored her safety to stand in front of David when
Yves wanted to attack him, they could tell Princess Astrid had a unique relationship with David
With Princess Astrid’s help, David would no longer be a wanted criminal as long as he did not commit treason.
Yves was in trouble now.
If Reggie did not handle this well, he would affect the entire Berserk Hunters.
The happiest at the scene was the Golden Eagle Bounty Group.
They had just returned from hunting galaxy beasts outside, and before they could regain their energy, they were challenged by Berserk Hunters, Honestly, even the group’s captain, Elio, was not confident about this challenge, he had to accept it.
The two hunter groups had been butting heads for a long time. Berserk Hunters certainly would not have spared them so easily.
However, Yves, the deputy captain of Berserk Hunters, dared to attack Princess Astrid.
with that, they were all eagerly waiting to see what would happen next.
chapter 1068
Astrid took a few steps forward. At this moment, her whole personality changed drastically after revealing her identity as a princess.
Atlas followed her respectfully.
He was puzzled. When he was chopping off Yves’ arm, he clearly felt a burst of terrifying energy locked onto him.”
He was a peak Celestial Ranker, yet he felt he could not defeat it.
This person’s strength was shocking, and they were at least at partial Infinity Rank
Atlas initially wanted to kill Yves but decided to chop off only one arin after sensing it.
It was because he wanted to prevent this person’s sneak attack However, the energy disappeared after Atlas chopped off Yves’s arm.
No matter how hard he looked, he still could not find any trace of it.
At this time, a luxurious spaceship appeared in front of everyone’s eyes
A golden ‘Barlowe’ was carved on the palace like ship Then, hundreds of people quickly got down from the spacecraft before kneeling in front of Astrid on one knee.
“Greetings, Your Royal Highness!” “You may rise,” Astrid said calmly.
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness.” A team of hundreds of people answered in unison.
Astrid continued to move forward, and the hundreds of people immediately gave way. When Astrid walked in front of them, everyone followed her neatly.
These people were all members of White Tiger Hall, one of the four great halls of the empire. They came with Lord Atlas to take Her Royal Highness back to Planet Royal.
However, as Atlas approached, he suddenly felt something was wrong and rushed forward alone.
Astrid stopped in the void and looked at Yves, who was about to faint with fright not far away, and the countless battleships.
“David is my savior. I will look into this matter no matter who’s involved. While you bounty hunters were capturing the empire’s wanted criminals and sharing the burden with the empire this time, there are more and more of you appearing every day. You’re getting bigger, so you’re starting to stray from your original goal. You have to reorganize yourself properly. Shadow Hunters, as the number one bounty hunter group in the empire, I hope you will give me a proposal as soon as possible. You will be in trouble if I have to do it myself.”
After Astrid said that, she looked at Yves.
“As for you! You’re the first person who dares to take action against me in the Royal Region.
You’ve become the pioneer of such crimes, so tell me, how do you want to die?” Yves felt lightheaded and could not stop himself from falling to his knees.
“Your Royal Highness, please don’t be mad! Your Royal Highness, please don’t be mad! I had no idea of your identity. If not, I won’t dare to do that even if you gave me the courage to do so! Your Royal Highness, please have mercy and spare me! I’m begging you, please!”
Yves endured the excruciating pain and kept kowtowing to Princess Astrid.
Right now, he was filled with panic.
His physical pain was nothing compared to the psychological torture.
While Yves was kowtowing, someone appeared next to him.
When Yves’ head was on the ground, the person put a hand on the center of Yves’ back.
Then, with a huge force, the hand penetrated Yves’ body and destroyed his organs.
“Ah!
“Pfft!”
Yves yelled. Blood mixed with traces of his organs sprayed out of his mouth.
He turned around slowly and looked at the person who did that to him. “C-C-Captain… How c-could you!”
chapter 1069
After Yves finished stammering, he stopped breathing and died. The person who killed him was Reggie, the captain of Berserk Hunters.
He used all his strength for the blow just now and did not hold back at all. He just wanted to make a quick decision and not give Yves a chance to speak.
As he looked at Yves, who died because of him, Reggie‘s heart was full of anger, and he did not know where he could vent his anger.
He had sworn brotherhood with Yves. More than 300 years ago, four of them formed Berserk Hunters and swore brotherhood, with Yves being the youngest of the group. Under the leadership of the four, Berserk Hunters grew into what it was today and became the fourth largest hunter group in the empire. 1 The other two brothers had already died midway throughout their journey.
Now only Reggie and Yves were left.
However, he had to kill his brother with his own hands today.
He was seething.
However, even though he was mad, he had no choice.
Although he had already discovered that something was wrong and asked Yves not to take action before they learned the truth, Yves still insisted on going his own way and almost hurt Princess Astrid.
If he did not kill Yves himself, Berserk Hunters would be implicated, and no one would be able to escape if Princess Astrid decided to look into this.
As the captain, Reggie could only do this for the sake of Berserk Hunters.
Reggie killed Yves in just a few seconds, but his action caused the millions of bounty hunters on the scene to inhale sharply.
‘He‘s too savage!‘ Who in the bounty hunter community did not know Reggie and Yves were sworn brothers for hundreds of years?
Yves also contributed to Berserk Hunters‘ achievements and size today.
Even so, Reggie killed his brother to survive. Although, as the saying goes, ‘Every man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost.‘ It was one thing to say it and another thing to do it. 2 Many men in the bounty hunter community were willing to sacrifice their lives for their brothers.
Elio had to admire Reggie‘s courage at this moment.
Even if he knew that this was the best solution, he might not be able to do it if it were him.
That was the brother who had gone through life and death with him for many decades! How could he kill him without any hesitation?
After Reggie killed Yves, he knelt on one knee, put his hands together, and said respectfully,” 1 Your Royal Highness, please don‘t be mad! I didn‘t discipline my man well and scared you. Please punish me, Your Royal Highness.” “Are you the captain of Berserk Hunters?” Astrid asked. “Yes,” Reggie replied. “It‘s smart of you to make minor sacrifices to safeguard major interests. I will remember you. The reorganization of the Mounty hunter community will start with Berserk Hunters! I want to see an answer in three days.”
“Don‘t worry, Your Royal Highness! After three days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer,” Reggie replied.
Immediately afterwards, Florian, captain of Shadow Hunters, Norah, captain of Red Spider Hunters, and Elio, captain of Golden Eagle Bounty Group, also stepped forward.
The three of them put their hands together simultaneously and said respectfully, “Don‘t worry, Your Royal Highness! We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.” “Alright, this matter will end here. Now, let‘s look at another matter. David risked his life to save me, but you‘re treating him as a prize for your competition. How are you going to explain this?” Astrid asked in a cold voice.
chapter 1070
After Astrid said this, the scene fell silent. In the end, Florian stood up and said, “Your
Royal Highness, please call David over! No matter what he requests, we will do our best to meet it.”
“That‘s right! Florian is right. No matter what David asks, we will do our best to satisfy him,” Reggie quickly followed. How could he still behave like Captain Kraut right now?
He could only be submissive now that he was in front of Princess Astrid.
Besides, Berserk Hunters had a bad reputation with Princess Astrid, so he had to find a way to gain the princess‘ forgiveness.
Otherwise, Berserk Hunters would have a hard time surviving in the Royal Region in the future once Princess Astrid targeted them.
David also came over with Mia at this time.
He heard Astrid talk about him, so he knew it was time for him to come forward.
“David, I‘ve dealt with the matter. If you need anything else, you can just tell me. They will satisfy you. Otherwise, I won‘t spare them,” Astrid hid her serious expression and said softly.
She spoke to David in a completely different tone than with others.
Everyone on the scene could hear it, and they looked at David differently again.
Princess Astrid was too good for this kid.
Even if David had rescued her, such treatment would not have been possible.
The relationship between the two was definitely not normal.
They had to remember this lucky kid.
In the future, he might even become the princess‘ husband.
His identity and status would skyrocket at once, surpassing countless people.
“David, I‘m sorry, I‘m really sorry for treating you like a wanted criminal in the empire and even wanting to treat you as a prize. I‘m sorry for making you aggrieved, what do you need? You can just tell us, and we will try our best to satisfy you,” Florian said humbly.
He was also very helpless.
As the leader of the empire‘s number one bounty hunter group, Shadow Hunters, and a late Celestial Ranker, he had to speak humbly to a Cosmos Ranker in front of millions of bounty hunters.
Florian felt awkward, but he had no choice.
David had Princess Astrid behind him. If this was not handled well, he would have a bad time in the Royal Region in the future. Aside from him, all bounty hunters would also have a hard time.
Furthermore, the head of White Tiger Hall was behind Princess Astrid too, and he was someone more powerful than Florian.
Therefore, he had to be humble!
“No, not try your best, but you must!” Astrid said solemnly. “Yes, yes! We will satisfy him! We will definitely satisfy him!” Florian said immediately.
“David, don‘t be afraid, just say what you want. I‘ll oversee this for you. They will have to fulfill it even if they can‘t. If not, I will give them hell in the Royal Region and even the entire Milky Way,” Astrid said to David in a gentle tone again.
All eyes were on David.
They all sighed internally, Why is this kid so lucky?‘ Although they did not know what happened between David and Princess Astrid, they could probably guess from Princess Astrid proclaiming that David was her savior. Princess Astrid might have gotten bored on Planet Royal, so she snuck out of Planet Royal and did not tell the emperor.
