Chapter 1551
David shook his dizzy head before he stood up and looked around.
He was obviously not in the void anymore but in a strange room.
He thought he had reached the Central Sacred Continent, but the timing was obviously wrong.
I have not even covered half the distance!”
When he saw Marlee and her daughter. David asked, “Ma’am, where is this place?”
“Who are you?” Marlee did not answer David’s question. Instead, she held her daughter Peggy tightly and asked cautiously.
“I was a passer-by and accidentally crashed into this place. I hope you will forgive me.”
“You… You are not a space pirate?”
“Space pirate? What space pirate?” David asked suspiciously.
Marlee was taken aback.
‘Is there anyone who doesn’t know about space pirates?’
After that, she realized that they might be called something else in other places or other people.
“Space pirates are a group of scoundrels who make a living by robbing merchant ships,” Marlee explained.
David understood
‘So, they’re like pirates on Earth.
‘This mature and charming woman probably thought I was a space pirate!’
David felt that his temperament should not fit the image of a space pirate.
“Don’t worry, Ma’am. I’m not a pirate.”
“Are you really not a space pirate?”
“Of course not! If I were a space pirate, why would I say so many things to you?”
Marlee thought about it and felt that David was right.
If he were a space pirate, he would have already taken action.
Why would he talk so much nonsense?
Knock knock knock!
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
“Miss, the merchant ship seems to have hit something just now.”
“I know! It’s just a piece of gravel floating in the void. Don’t make a fuss, everyone, just move on!” Marlee said to the person outside the door. 1
“Okay, Miss!”
The person who knocked left.
Marlee looked at David again.
After careful observation, she noticed the guy who suddenly appeared in her room was young and handsome.
David did not look like a child from an ordinary family at a first glance.
His image and temperament were unique, and he looked nothing like a space pirate.
This put Marlee at ease for a while.
When she was wandering outside, she also met many geniuses.
She might not be able to read people, but she had at least some experience with different people.
This guy David did not seem simple at first glance.
Perhaps he was a direct descendant of some major force who came out to train.
“What’s your name? Why are you here?” Marlee asked.
“My name is David! As for why I am here…”
David spread his hands and continued, “I don’t know either.”
“Then what were you doing before you came in here?”
“I was just resting in the void! Then, I all of a sudden I appeared here. I am also very puzzled.”
‘I see!’
Marlee had an answer in her mind.
David should have been resting in the void when her merchant ship passed by and accidentally bumped into him.
She unexpectedly ran into a person in the boundless void.
Chapter 1552
Marlee was also a little speechless.
‘My luck is really something else.
‘But bumping into him is fine, it’s much better than running into space pirates.’
“Sorry, David, we probably accidentally bumped into you,” Marlee said a little apologetically after thinking about it.
In reality, David probably had a clear idea of what had happened.
When he just came out of the four-dimensional space, he was hit by something under his feet.
“Well, Ma’am, can I ask where this is?”
“You are on my merchant ship. We came from a distant galaxy and are about to go to the Central Sacred Continent.”
“Oh? Are you also going to the Central Sacred Continent?”
“Exactly! Why? Are you also going to the Central Sacred Continent?”
“Um… Although it’s a bit of a coincidence, I’m indeed planning to go there,” David replied.
“That’s really a coincidence, David. Since you are a little tired, you can rest here. Our destination is the same, so when we arrive at the Central Sacred Continent, I will call you,” Marlee suggested.
“No, Ma’am. I can go alone. I don’t want to disturb you,” David refused.
It was not like he was really tired and wanted to rest, it was just an excuse.
He could not say that he just came out of the four-dimensional space!
Plus, how would the merchant ship be as fast as David in the four-dimensional space?
“David, don’t refuse. We are very sorry that our ship hit you, so you can just rest here. In a few days, we will reach the entrance of the wormhole to the Central Sacred Continent. Once we get there, we will be able to reach the Central Sacred Continent soon,” Marlee said.
The reason why she let David rest on the ship was not just because she felt guilty about hitting him.
At first glance, David was a man of considerable background.
In case they encountered space pirates, they might be able to escape with the help of the forces behind David.
Even if they could not get away, David should be pretty strong since he was able to drift alone in the void.
The more people, the more power.
“Mister, just listen to my mom and rest here!” Marlee’s daughter in her arms also persuaded David.
David would never have stayed here anyway because he did not have that much time to waste.
In the end, he heard Marlee say that they would be able to reach the entrance of the wormhole to the Central Sacred Continent soon.
Thus, David changed his mind. 1
This specially constructed wormhole would be faster than moving in four-dimensional space.
‘I’ll just rest here then. I don’t even have to come out at any time to determine the route.’
“Little girl, what’s your name?” David asked, looking at the little girl in Marlee’s arms.
“Mister, my name is Peggy,” the little girl replied.
“Piggy? Uh… What a nice name!” David smiled awkwardly.
It was the first time he heard such a name.
‘Maybe it’s a nickname!’
David thought so in his heart.
Peggy noticed his tone and expression because whenever she introduced her name, she would often be misunderstood like this.
“Mister, my name is not Piggy, but Peggy,” the little girl said angrily.
“Um… Is there a difference?” David asked.
“Of course, there is a difference!”
“Then tell me what’s the difference.”
“Mister, you are talking about the animal. My name is Peggy, P-E-G-G-Y, not P-I-G-G-Y,” The little girl explained.
“Oh! So your name is Peggy! I thought it was Piggy!” David said with a smile.
“Hmph! I’m mad and I am ignoring you!”
“Don’t! Peggy, don’t be angry, it’s my fault,” David quickly admitted his mistake and apologized.
Marlee listened to the conversation between David and her daughter.
Her last bit of worry soon dissapeared.
If David was able to apologize to a little girl it showed that he had a good temper and he was not evil.
Even if he were a direct descendant of some powerful force, he was not cruel.
By keeping David on board, Marlee was also taking a gamble.
Now it seemed that there were only advantages and no disadvantages.
Chapter 1553
David’s easy-going personality quickly made Marlee let down her guard. novelbin
Women believed in their sixth sense, and Marlee was no exception.
Moreover, she gathered enough experience when she previously left her family to wander outside.
Although she only interacted with David for a very short while, as the saying goes ‘the face was the index of the mind’.
David’s image and temperament, coupled with his easy-going personality, could be very deceiving.
Therefore, it would be hard for people to treat him as the bad guy.
Even Marlee’s daughter Peggy, a seven or eight-year-old girl, liked David.
Otherwise, she would not take the initiative to talk to him and ask to keep him around.
David decided to stay and soon he got along with Marlee and her daughter.
He also found out that the beautiful woman’s name was Marlee Jung.
The little girl’s name was Peggy Jung, which David already knew.
Both mother and daughter had the same last name, which sparked David’s curiosity.
‘Is the father of this little girl also surnamed Jung? Or is her father a live-in son-in-law?
‘There are also children with their mother’s surname on Earth.
‘However, it’s because the woman’s family is too wealthy and too powerful, causing the man to marry into her family and become the live-in son-in-law.
‘If not, the children will normally have the father’s surname.’
David figured it would not be appropriate to ask and of course, he was not very interested.
He just learned that the Jung family where the mother and daughter came from was in a very remote galaxy very far away from the Central Sacred Continent.
They had been on this merchant ship for more than a year.
They even went through several wormholes throughout the journey.
The reason they were heading to the Central Sacred Continent was to transport the unique resources from their galaxy to the Central Sacred Continent to sell at a high price.
After a brief chat with Marlee and her daughter, David prepared going to leave.
After all, this was their room.
Therefore, it would not be appropriate for him to stay here for a long time.
If the beautiful woman’s husband was also on the ship and saw this, it would be hard for him to explain himself.
“Marlee, it’s getting late, so I won’t bother you,” David stood up and bid his farewell.
“Wait a minute, David! You were drifting in the void so it must have been a long time since you had a good meal. I’ll ask someone to prepare some simple food for you. You can rest after eating.” Marlee said.
After becoming Eternal, David no longer needed food for supplement.
His body could automatically absorb the energy between heaven and earth, and then provide it to various organs.
Eternal ate purely for enjoyment.
Other than that, they would also eat some rare treasures of heaven and earth which were good for their body.
Although David was only a beginner Ruler Rank, he was still a real Eternal.
He would only eat if he was in the mood.
However, how could he be in the mood to eat now?
His heart was already set on the Central Sacred Continent.
When David wanted to refuse and said that he did not need it, he stopped himself immediately as the words were right on his lips.
Since the other party did not know that he was an Eternal, why should he expose himself?
He had secretly investigated the situation on this merchant ship.
The strongest person here was the beautiful woman named Marlee in front of her.
She was a Universe Realm peak Infinity Ranker and she was just a step away from being an Eternal.
However, this would be a huge gap and it had stopped so many people before.
After all, the jump from Universe Realm to Eternal Realm could be said to be an astronomical leap.
The gap between the two realms was miles apart.
It was not so easy for Marlee to cross this gap.
As for the other people on board, they were all irrelevant characters.
Chapter 1554
David was brought to the Iridescent Sect by Celeste when he first came to Star Kingdom.
Who had he met in the Iridescent Sect?
Nova, the head of the Iridescent Sect, Nek, the new Saint of the Simmons family, and the two Saint Realm reputable elders of the Iridescent Sect.
Which of these people was not a prominent figure in Star Kingdom?
Even at Nova’s acceptance ceremony, David was arranged to sit in the VIP area surrounded by middle- ranked and senior figures of the Iridescent Sect.
The vast majority of them were Eternals.
This led David to mistakenly believe that Eternals were everywhere in Star Kingdom and that they were not special at all as they were all over the place.
In reality, this was incorrect.
Eternals in Star Kingdom were indeed not as rare as in low- and mid-level civilizations, but they were also not everywhere.
It depended on where one was.
If one was in the most prosperous place in Star Kingdom like the Central Sacred Continent, Eternals were nothing.
One could also say there were heaps of them.
However, Eternals were still overlords in many remote corners of Star Kingdom.
For example, the galaxy where Marlee Jung’s family was located.
Those who had Eternals were major forces that no one dared to mess with.
“Then I shall thank you for your hospitality,” David thanked.
“David, you’re welcome! It’s just a little effort on our part,” Marlee said with a smile.
She had a nice smile.
Although she had a daughter, she did not have any signs of aging on her face.
Compared to innocent girls, beautiful young mothers like Marlee were even more appealing to men. When she was young, she was able to fascinate the heirs of countless forces around her. novelbin
Now she was older, and she seemed more mature after having a child.
Even so, she was still as graceful as ever.
After Marlee finished speaking, she said to her daughter, “Peggy, go tell the servants to prepare some food according to the highest standard, and I will take David there later.”
“Okay, Mom.”
After Peggy finished answering, she looked at David.
“Mister, you must eat more later so that you can grow taller.”
“Peggy, I am already fully grown and won’t grow any taller,” David said with a chuckle.
1 see, but you still have to eat more, so you will become stronger when you are full,” Peggy thought for a while and said.
“Okay, I will finish everything later.”
“It’s a deal!”
Peggy stood on the chair and put her tiny body on the table. After that, she stretched out her tiny hand to David.
She seemed like she wanted to give David a high five.
David smiled and shook his head.
‘This little girl is so adorable.’
He reached out and touched Peggy’s tiny hand.
Smack!
A small high-five.
“You can’t go back on your word after the high five, otherwise…”
The little girl was lying on the table, tilting her head as if thinking about what would happen if David repented.
“Otherwise?” David asked curiously.
“Otherwise… Otherwise, you won’t be able to find a girlfriend, Mister,” the little girl said seriously.
“Hahaha!” David burst into laughter.
“Okay! If I can’t finish eating, I won’t be able to find a girlfriend.”
“Okay, it’s a deal!”
After the little girl finished speaking, she jumped off the stool, then left the room while skipping. After that, she went to the kitchen to get someone to prepare food.
After she left, Marlee said, “David, please don’t mind her childish blabbers.” “Why would I? Peggy is so cute! I like her so much, so why would I mind?”
Chapter 1555
David continued to stay in the room for a while, and then he followed Marlee to the dining place.
Throughout the meal, Peggy kept staring at David.
Therefore, David had no choice but to finish the whole table of food so that the little girl would let him leave.
After the meal, David was brought to a separate room.
The room was not luxurious, but fortunately, it was relatively clean and tidy.
This was very much in line with David’s wishes.
David did not have too many demands on this.
As long as it was not too dirty or messy, he could accept it.
While David was resting, the merchant ship quickly moved toward the entrance of the wormhole.
As they got closer, Marlee also became tenser and tenser.
They were most likely to encounter space pirates in the three days it would take to get to the entrance of the wormhole. After all, this was the most dangerous stretch.
With the little power they had on their merchant ship and no one at partial Eternal, they would not be the space pirates’ opponent.
Time passed slowly.
The merchant ship soon entered the high-risk area.
Marlee was constantly tense.
She was praying hard in her heart to not encounter a space pirate.
It could be said that this ship carried the Jung family’s best.
The Jung family also did everything they could to avoid the obstruction of surrounding forces.
The entire Jung family placed all their hopes on this merchant ship.
They had to succeed.
If someone robbed this merchant ship, what awaited the Jung family next would be eternal doom.
They would have no possibility of making a comeback.
Marlee knew she was the reason the Jung family was in this state now.
If she had not been willful back then, the Jung family would not be reduced to the present situation.
That was why she took the initiative to come on this trip.
She bet all her wealth and life on this ship.
If the merchant ship was robbed, she would not have the strength to go back to face her family.
Marlee had already decided in her mind.
This time, she would live and die with the merchant ship. She would live if the ship made it, but if it did not, she would go down with it.
However, her daughter Peggy was still young.
She still had her whole life ahead of her, and her life should not stop here.
‘If there’s no other choice, I’ll put Peggy in David’s care and I’ll desperately create the opening for them to escape.
‘My daughter likes David very much anyway.’
Marlee thought silently in her heart.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you resting?” Peggy rubbed her eyes and asked.
She woke up to find her mother looking the same way she did before going to bed.
“I’m fine. I’m not sleepy, you should have a good rest!” Marlee stroked her daughter Peggy’s cheek and whispered.
“No, if you don’t sleep, I won’t sleep either,” the little girl pouted.
“Okay, okay! Mommy will sleep with you, okay?” Marlee said and lay down next to Peggy, hugging her and getting ready to sleep. novelbin
After a while, Marlee whispered, “Peggy, are you asleep?”
“No, Mom. I’ve woken up and I’m not sleepy now,” the little girl replied.
“Peggy, tell me, do you like David?“
“I like him!” The little girl replied without hesitation.
“Why do you like him, can you tell me?”
“I think Mister has a nice smile that makes me feel good. He’s not aggressive at all. I like being with Mister.”
“Then… would you be okay if I let you stay by Mister’s side from now on?”
“Of course! Mom, can I really be with Mister from now on?” The little girl immediately sat up and asked excitedly.
Chapter 1556
Marlee also sat up and said, “Of course, you can!”
“Great! Mom, from now on, you, me, and Mister will always be together and never be separated, okay?”
“Peggy, you can’t be too greedy. If you could only choose between me and Mister, who would you choose?”
“Can’t I have both? I like Mom, but I also like Mister,” the little girl said with some confusion.
Marlee shook her head and said, “No.”
“Then I choose you! I want to be with my mommy forever,” the little girl pouted.
Apparently, her mother still came first in her heart.
After all, she had only known David for a few days.
“Then, do you not want Mister anymore?”
“I still want him! When I grow up, I will go to Mister,” the little girl thought for a while and said.
“Peggy, go to sleep. You must grow up quickly,” Marlee lay down again holding her daughter.
“Okay, don’t worry! Mom, I will grow up soon, and then you won’t have to work so hard,” Peggy closed her eyes and said.
Marlee felt horrible.
She knew that her daughter fell in love with David as soon as she saw him because she did not have love from a father since she was a child.
The Jung family had always been very unwelcoming of Marlee’s daughter, Peggy.
To put it bluntly, a large part of why the Jung family was the way it was now was due to Peggy.
If Marlee were not pregnant when she returned to the Jung family, she would still be sought after by countless forces around with her maturity, curves, and charm.
In that case, the Jung family could still rely on Marlee to deal with the major forces and continue to increase their strength.
It was a pity that Marlee returned to the Jung family pregnant.
No matter how attractive or charming she was, no one would dare to marry her even if they wanted her.
Whoever married Marlee would immediately become the object of ridicule by countless forces around.
Not only would he be criticized wherever they went, but even his family would suffer.
No one could withstand such pressure.
Therefore, as soon as Peggy was born, she was destined to be rejected by the Jung family.
If it were not for Marlee, who was a Universe Realm peak Infinity Ranker and was top three in the Jung family, Peggy’s days would be even harder.
It was precisely because of this Marlee brought Peggy along on this trip even when she knew that it would be very dangerous.
If she disappeared along with the merchant ship, Peggy would suffer a lot in the Jung family without her around.
Hence, she might as well bring her alone and leave their fate to God.
After Marlee returned to the Jung family, many powerful people secretly contacted her and expressed their desire to have her.
Plus, they also promised her a lot of benefits.
However, the only requirement was that their relationship could not be made public.
Even so, Marlee rejected all of them. novelbin
She had been above everyone at one point, so how would she be interested in those ordinary people?
By doing so, she also accelerated the speed of the Jung family’s demise.
Finally, she had no choice but to fight to the death.
Time passed by slowly
About an hour later, Peggy was fast asleep and Marlee stood up quietly.
They were in the most critical and dangerous period, so how could she fall asleep?
After getting dressed, Marlee left the room and went to the control room of the merchant ship.
She had to keep an eye on the situation of the merchant ship.
As long as they could get through these three days safely, the trip would be a success once they reached the entrance of the wormhole.
Chapter 1557
Time passed slowly with a tense atmosphere.
Everyone on the merchant ship of the Jung family was constantly tense, except for the little girl Peggy and David.
Everyone knew that now was the most dangerous time.
They would be fine if they did not run into any space pirates.
Not only would the Jung family get huge benefits from this trip, but they would also reap rich rewards.
If they ran into space pirates, it would be hard to say whether they could survive, let alone enjoy the rewards.
In fact, most of the people on this merchant ship were hired by Marlee at a high price.
There were not many Jung family members here.
In order to attract the attention of the surrounding hostile forces and create an opportunity for Marlee to go on this trip, the Jung family dispersed.
This time, the Jung family could be said to have put all their eggs in one basket.
It was make or break for the family.
At this time, the merchant ship was very close to the wormhole, and it would only take one day to reach it. They did not run into any accidents so far.
They did not see any patrol team sent by the Central Sacred Continent, nor did they meet the space pirate who would rob merchant ships.
However, Marlee still did not let her guard down.
Only once they reached the entrance of the wormhole could she dare say that they were safe, otherwise anything was possible.
Inside the merchant ship’s control room, an old man stood with Marlee as they stared at the merchant ship’s sensor.
If something approached the merchant ship, they would be able to notice it immediately and respond in. This old man was Fraser Jung, the senior butler of the Jung family and a late Infinity Ranker.
At the same time, he was also Marlee’s elder, but he was a distant relative of the Jung family. 1 Marlee was the direct descendant of the Jung family and a Universe Realm peak Infinity Ranker. Although the two were from different generations, there was still a gap in their identities and strength. Therefore, when Fraser saw Marlee, he had to respectfully address her as Miss.
“Miss, we have crossed two–thirds of the most dangerous stretch. As long as we persist for another day, the merchant ship will reach the entrance of the wormhole. We will definitely succeed this time. The Jung family will not just go down like this and we will definitely make a comeback and return to our former glory,” Standing beside Marlee, Fraser said a little excitedly.
They had been oppressed for far too long.
He had always dreamed that one day he would be able to make a comeback.
It could be said that the Jung family was fully prepared for this trip.novelbin
They learned from some sources that the Central Sacred Continent was recently short of raw ore they had on board.
And these things were usually sold at low prices to some big trading houses, so they took away most of the benefits.
The reason why no one dared to transport them to the Central Sacred Continent by themselves was that the distance was too great, so it was inevitable that there would be some accidents on the way.
Another reason was because of the space pirates.
If they were not careful, not only would they lose everything, but they may also lose their life.
The big trading houses would not face such danger.
Generally, space pirates dared not rob the merchant ships of big trading houses.
However, this time, the Jung family had reached the point of desperation, so they decided to do it by themselves.
The business side of the Jung family was severely suppressed by the forces around them and was unable to make ends meet.
If such a large family had no source of income, it would be difficult for them to survive for much longer.
Therefore, they decided to take a gamble and try their best to deliver this batch of raw ore.
As long as they could reach the Central Sacred Continent safely, they would surely sell the cargo of this ship at a high price.
The Jung family could do many things with the money.
They would no longer be restricted to such a degree that there was no hope at all for them.
“We can’t relax until we reach the entrance of the wormhole. The space pirates may appear at any time. until we get there. Send an order to tell everyone to be on alert. As long as we can reach the Central Sacred Continent and sell this batch of goods, I, Marlee Jung, will make sure everyone gets their benefits,” Marlee stared at the sensor and said expressionlessly.
“Yes, Miss!” Fraser replied.
He turned and left after speaking.
He was going to notify the merchant ship’s staff one by one.
Shortly after Fraser left, Marlee’s eyes narrowed suddenly.
She was initially already not relaxed, but now she immediately became more nervous.
Chapter 1558
The merchant ship’s sensors showed that something was approaching them.
Although could not confirm whether it was a space pirate, they could not just be so hopeful.
After all, this was about the safety of everyone on the entire merchant ship, as well as the hope of the Jung family.
Marlee slammed on the alarm without hesitation
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, harsh alarms filled the entire merchant ship.
Several staff members in the control room who were controlling the merchant ship immediately turned to look at Marlee nervously.
Everyone on the merchant ship heard this.
Except for David and Peggy, everyone else sprung into action.
Fraser also quickly rushed to the control room.
“Miss, what’s wrong?” Fraser asked nervously.
He knew that Marlee would not sound the alarm for no reason.
There must have been an accident.
“Something is approaching the ship. Have everyone return to their posts and get ready,” Marlee replied calmly.
At this moment, she was also extremely nervous, but as the backbone of this merchant ship, she could not show it.
If she panicked, the entire merchant ship would be in chaos.
“Is it a space pirate?” Fraser asked in a trembling voice.
Space pirates could be said to be the most notorious group of people in the entire Star Kingdom.
They would frighten countless merchants.
They were divided into three types.
The first type was more principled. They would only charge tolls, and not rob anything or kill people.
Even if merchants encountered them, they would just pay the fee to avoid disaster.
The second type of space pirate would rob the cargo of passing merchants, but they would not kill.
Finally, the third type was the cruelest type among all space pirates. They would not only rob the merchants and rape the women, but they would also not spare the lives of the crew and passengers.
Unfortunately, the third type was the most prevalent among the space pirates and they accounted fo` at least 90% of the space pirates.
In their words, they were already bloody space pirates, so why would they care about any f*cking principles?
If the merchants were more powerful than the space pirates they encountered, then there was no other choice.
Space pirates were not fools.
They would not court death if they knew their opponent was much more powerful.
When encountering someone stronger than them, they would immediately retreat.
If their strength was about equal, and the space pirates felt that they would not lose out too much, they would offer a compromise.
They would let their victims go after asking for some money like the first type of space pirates.
If their victims were much weaker, then there would only be one ending.
The space pirates would rob and kill their victims, not giving them any way to negotiate.
Fraser was also afraid of encountering the third type of space pirate. 1 novelbin
The strength of their merchant ship was not greater than the space pirates.
If the space pirates could not even defeat the people on this ship, how could they even call themselves space pirates? @
A group of space pirates would at least have partial Eternals leading them.
Larger space pirate gangs would even have a few Eternals.
Meanwhile, the strongest on this merchant ship of the Jung family was Marlee, the Universe Realm peak Infinity Ranker. 3
The second was Fraser, the late Infinity Ranker.
Chapter 1559
“It’s not clear what is approaching. It might be a space pirate, it might not, but no matter what it is, everyone should be prepared,” Marlee said without looking back.
“Understood! Miss, I will inform everyone right away so that they can get ready.”
Fraser turned and left after speaking.
Marlee stood where she was, staring fixedly at the sensor..
The sensor showed there was an object ahead and it was approaching the merchant ship quickly.
At this speed, the two sides would collide in an hour.
Now that they had encountered it, it was useless to say anything else.
The first step was to determine whether the object was dead or alive.
If it was dead, then it was surely not a space pirate.
It would probably be a meteorite drifting in the void.
If that were the case, they could change direction and go around it.
If it was a living thing and it was chasing them, then the chances of it being a space pirate were high. After calming down, Marlee turned to the control room and said to the staff controlling the merchant ship, “Slow down and move thirty degrees to the right.” novelbin
“Yes, Miss!” The staff member replied.
Then, he controlled the merchant ship, reduced the speed, and steered to the right.
Marlee stared at the rapidly approaching object ahead.
If the thing moved as they changed direction, then they could be sure that it was indeed a space pirate.
“Mom!” The little girl Peggy was awakened by the alarm and found that her mother was not around, so she headed to the control room.
“Peggy, I am busy now. You should go back to sleep,” Marlee bent down and picked Peggy up before saying.
“Mom, I can’t sleep! You can go on with your work, I will not disturb you.”
“No! You will affect me if you’re here.”
“But I don’t want to sleep alone!” The little girl pouted and protested aggrievedly.
“Then… How about you go to David? He should have woken up by now,” Marlee thought for a while and suggested.
“Okay! I’ll go play with Mister,” the little girl immediately said happily.
“Okay, you should go to play with David. If he asks, you just tell him that I am busy now,” Marlee said and put the little girl on the ground.
“Okay, Mom. I’m going now.”
“Go ahead.”
The little girl skipped out of the control room.
Marlee continued to focus on the sensor.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
One minute later…
Five minutes later…
Ten minutes later…
A full ten minutes passed.
The object in front still did not show the slightest trace of movement, so Marlee felt a little more relaxed.
“No need to deviate. Speed up and go straight ahead,” Marlee said.
“Roger that!”
The merchant ship continued straight ahead.
After half an hour, there was no movement.
Fifty minutes later, there was still no movement.
In another ten or twenty minutes, the merchant ship would have deviated from the fast–moving object in front.
Once they did, they would be safe.
“Miss!” Fraser yelled nervously.
“Keep quiet. Look carefully. We’re in a critical moment. If you notice that the opponent is moving towards us, immediately go into battle mode,” Marlee ordered seriously.
“Understood!” Fraser said and fell silent.
Although the staff in the control room did not speak, they were extremely nervous.
Their palms were drenched with sweat.
After the alarm sounded, David naturally heard it too.
He wanted to go out and ask Marlee about this.
After thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
A merchant like Marlee, who was on the move all year round, should have her plan for dealing with emergencies.
There was a high probability that he did not need to worry about this.
David did not know that this was Marlee’s first time directing the ship.
Even merchants who traveled all year round were afraid of encountering large space pirate gangs.
Chapter 1560
However, they would not fear ordinary space pirates.
After all, they would not be too weak if they dared to do business outside.
David did not go out and continued to rest in his room.
He was thinking about how he should start his business after he got to the Central Sacred Continent.
Knock knock knock!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” David asked.
“Mister, open the door. It’s me!” The little girl Peggy’s voice sounded from outside the door.
‘Peggy?
‘What does she want?”
David was curious, and got up and opened the door.
He spotted the little girl standing there outside the door.
David squatted and asked, “Peggy, why are you here?”
“Mister, mom is very busy right now and doesn’t have time to talk to me, so she asked me to come and play with you,” the little girl said a little embarrassedly.
“Then what is your mother up to?”
“I don’t know!” The little girl shook her head.
David smiled.
‘What does a seven or eight–year–old girl know anyway?”
“Okay then! Since your mom is not free, I will play with you.”
David picked up the little girl, turned around, and entered his room after closing the door behind him.
“Thank you, Mister!”
The little girl was very sensible.
After putting the little girl on the chair, David asked, “What do you want to play?”
“I want you to tell me stories,” the little girl said.
“Well… Sure! I will tell you a story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” David thought for a while and said.
“Okay! Okay! Mister, tell me now.”
Then, David started telling stories to Peggy.
One spoke very seriously while one listened even more seriously.
When she heard Snow White eat the poisoned apple, the little girl held David’s hand tightly, showing the tension and anxiety inside her heart.
However, she was very sensible and did not ask anything aloud.
She also did not interrupt David.
After David finished telling the brief story and said that Snow White and the prince lived happily ever after, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and beamed.
“How is it? Peggy, was that a good story?” David asked with a smile.
“Yes, yes! Mister, tell me another one, I want another one!” The little girl replied excitedly. novelbin
“Then I will tell you one more.”
The two had a happy story time in the room.
On the contrary, the atmosphere in the merchant ship control room had reached a freezing point.
Marlee stared intently at the sensor.
Five more minutes.
As long as these five minutes passed and the other party still did not change their route, both parties. would pass by each other and they would be safe.
This would mean that the opponent was either a meteorite, a merchant ship, or some force that happened to pass by.
In any of these cases, it would not be a space pirate.
‘Don’t move.
“You must not move!”
Marlee prayed silently in her heart.
It was not just her; Fraser, who was standing by, was also praying in his heart.
All the staff on the merchant ship were in a state of extreme tension.
If the rapidly approaching object changed course and came toward them, they could basically determine. it to be a group of space pirates.
Everyone’s life on the merchant ship would be in danger.
They would not escape facing those space pirates who specialized in robbing merchant ships.
Even if they changed direction as soon as they discovered the other party, there would still be no chance of escaping.
The space pirate’s equipment was much more advanced than that of the merchant ship of the Jung family.
