Chapter 458: Weakness Is the Original Sin

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Feng had saved the Auricles again, but he was not happy at all. In the universe, weakness was the original sin. It was precisely because the Auricles were weak that they faced danger again and again.

Now, their home had even been destroyed by the fleet of the Pall Chamber of Commerce. Lin Feng could be unflinching towards killing, but he could not sit back and do nothing while such a thing happened.

Then, Lin Feng attacked frequently and destroyed one base of the Pall Chamber of Commerce after another. Although they were all robots and battleships, destroying these bases caused the foundation of the Pall Chamber of Commerce on the Auricles to crumble overnight.

What heartened Lin Feng was that at the rousing call of the Auricles’ wiseman, those Auricles hiding in the deep mountains and forests actually left the forest one after another and gathered with Lin Feng.

In the end, a count showed that there were actually still a hundred thousand Auricles left in total. This could be considered a blessing among misfortunes.

Although Lin Feng had destroyed the base of the Pall Chamber of Commerce, Planet Auricle was no longer safe. Lin Feng had obtained a huge battleship from the destroyed base of the Pall Chamber of Commerce that could easily accommodate the 100,000 Auricles.

Lin Feng led the last 100,000 Auricles and piloted the battleship. They left Planet Auricle en masse, heading for the Roya Imperial Planet.

Not only did Lin Feng want to seek justice for the Auricles, he also wanted to see if he could save more Auricles.

About a light-year away from the Roya Imperial Planet, Lin Feng left an avatar to protect the Auricles in the battleship. He headed to the Roya Imperial Planet alone.

After all, no one knew what would happen. If the Auricles stayed by Lin Feng’s side, it would be very dangerous if a battle broke out.

“I hope everything goes smoothly.”

A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes.

…

On the Roya Imperial Planet, the president of the Skull Chamber of Commerce, Polo, could finally heave a long sigh of relief. That jinx had finally left. He did not want to end up like the previous president, so he did his best to satisfy that cultivator’s request.

Fortunately, the cultivator kept his promise and eventually left.

Just as Polo was about to relax properly, the space in his office distorted. He watched helplessly as a familiar figure walked out.

Polo’s eyes widened, and his expression was filled with incomparable fear. He said in shock, “You… Why haven’t you left?”

“No, I left, but I came back!”

Polo forced himself to calm down and said in a low voice, “Venerable cultivator, I’ve already helped you achieve your goal. What else do you want?”

“The last matter is over. I’d like to ask you for another favor this time.”

The one who appeared again was naturally Lin Feng. Although he was filled with anger and killing intent, he would not really launch an attack on the Roya Imperial Planet without any information.

If he wanted to learn about the Pall Chamber of Commerce, there was no doubt that Polo was the best candidate.

“Mr. Polo, I want to know everything about the Auricles. I believe Mr. Polo must know what I’m talking about.”

Hearing Lin Feng mention the Auricles, Polo’s expression changed drastically.

Previously, he had thought that Lin Feng did not know about the Auricles, or rather, that Lin Feng had nothing to do with the Auricles. But now, it seemed like Lin Feng clearly knew about the matter with the Auricles.

“Venerable cultivator, you’re not an Auricle, right? Why…”

“Tell me everything about the Auricles! Remember, everything!”

Lin Feng’s cold gaze made Polo’s heart tremble. He knew that this terrifying cultivator in front of him was probably already extremely furious. He should have realized sooner that Lin Feng had a grudge with the Skull Chamber of Commerce precisely because of the Auricles back then.

Lin Feng must have some unknown relationship with the Auricles.

“Venerable cultivator, the affairs of the Auricles have nothing to do with our Skull Chamber of Commerce. It was all the Pall Chamber of Commerce’s doing. As you know, the Pall Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the Roya Empire. Its power is immense, and far beyond what our Skull Chamber of Commerce can contend with.

“After you dealt a heavy blow to our Skull Chamber of Commerce last time, the Pall Chamber of Commerce somehow caught wind of Planet Auricle’s existence. They forced our Skull Chamber of Commerce to give them some information on Planet Auricle. Then, the Pall Chamber of Commerce searched for some time according to this information, and finally found Planet Auricle.”

Lin Feng already knew what happened after. For the chambers of commerce in the universe, once they found out about an unclaimed planet with intelligent lifeforms, their goal would be obvious.

“How many Auricles has the Pall Chamber of Commerce captured? Where are those Auricles now?”

“The Pall Chamber of Commerce deals in slave trade in secret. Actually, this is not much of a secret. There are hundreds of chambers of commerce in the Roya Empire, big or small. Which chamber of commerce doesn’t deal in slave trade? After all, slave trade is the most lucrative and least risky of all trades. Even though the Roya Empire forbids slave trade, the Pall Chamber of Commerce can trade with other galaxies. Most of those Auricles were traded to other galaxies, priced as slaves. It will be difficult to find them.”

Lin Feng’s face was ashen. Just as he had guessed, the Auricles were all traded as slaves to other galaxies, earning the Pall Chamber of Commerce huge profits.

“Where is the headquarters of the Pall Chamber of Commerce?”

“On the Roya Imperial Planet.”

With that, Polo realized that Lin Feng had disappeared again. He heaved a long sigh of relief, but his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Just now, Lin Feng had come with ill intentions, and his killing intent was boiling. Did he really dare to attack on the Roya Imperial Planet?

However, this was not impossible. Polo was a meticulous and very bold person. If Lin Feng really wanted to attack the Pall Chamber of Commerce, perhaps this would be an opportunity for the Skull Chamber of Commerce.

It would be an opportunity to greatly expand the Skull Chamber of Commerce!

Even though there might be a certain degree of risk, Polo still gritted his teeth in the end, and immediately began taking action.

…

“Pall Chamber of Commerce!”

Lin Feng strolled along the bustling streets. People came and went here. There seemed to be all kinds of civilized races. Everything seemed so prosperous and harmonious.

But in reality?

The universe ultimately abided by the law of the jungle. The strong preyed on the weak. Being weak was the original sin. These chambers of commerce committed ignominious acts in the dark.

Lin Feng would not change the law of the entire universe, but since he had encountered this, and it was of some relation to him, he could not pretend to not know. That would be cowardice, and burying one’s head in the sand.

If weakness was the original sin, wasn’t the Pall Chamber of Commerce weak in Lin Feng’s eyes, too?

Boom.

Lin Feng’s body began to expand, and a terrifying aura spread out majestically. The building of the Pall Chamber of Commerce was like paper in front of Lin Feng’s expanding combat body.

For a moment, all the alarms on the Roya Imperial Planet sounded.
