Chapter 1941 - 46: Great Fusion (9)

It was a mercenary wearing a helmet and clad in armor.

Unlike the other Phantom Spirit Clan people here, he didn’t appear overly fearful upon seeing Brother Hero, the Divine Envoy. Although a bit nervous was detectable, he remained relatively composed overall.

"Oh? A Mandak person? Did you find this beast horn?"

Brother Hero immediately recognized the other person’s identity because their racial characteristics were too distinct.

This is a race with unwavering belief, revering force and strength. Their biggest characteristic is their preference for wearing armor made of special alloy, covering from head to toe, and they never remove their helmets in front of others.

Brother Hero is now considered a veteran within the Star Alliance and has a certain understanding of the organization’s affairs.

The Mandak species was saved by the Star Alliance five years ago when their home was nearly wiped out by an invasion of the White Demon.

Later, it was the Star Alliance that arrived at a crucial moment and helped them eliminate the White Demon Army, allowing these Mandak people to survive.

However, even though the planet was preserved, the damage caused by the previous White Demon was enormous, cursing the Mandak Planet and rendering it uninhabitable for a long time.

The remaining Mandak people had to temporarily leave their homes, being relocated to Karon Star by the Star Alliance’s arrangement.

Brother Hero knows that Mandak people are naturally straightforward and won’t cater to others or lie. If they discovered a Desert Worm, the information obtained would be much more reliable.

"I’m the one who found those monsters, Your Excellency."

This Mandak mercenary remained neither arrogant nor humble, immediately admitting after a glance at the beast horn.

Brother Hero nodded.

"In that case, please tell us where you found the monster. I need to personally verify some matters."

Upon hearing this, Yadun was preparing to arrange a spaceship, but the Mandak mercenary’s next words left him stunned in place.

"Your Excellency, is this your task? If it’s a task, then I need to receive some compensation."

Brother Hero likewise didn’t expect him to say this and was momentarily speechless.

"What are you saying! Mercenary!"

Yadun was immediately furious, breaking the silence on the scene with a loud shout.

"Standing before you is the Star of the Stars, Protector, Guardian of Order, the great Master of the Stars’ envoy—Vastness, Your Excellency! You, you dare to make such a demand to the Divine Envoy! You, you... Lord Divine Messenger, I am truly sorry, I never thought he would be so rude, please wait a moment, I will handle this matter..."

Yadun was clearly extremely angry, as the mercenary he recruited dared to make a demand for compensation to the Divine Envoy, something he truly hadn’t anticipated.

In Yadun’s view, Karon Star is a planet everyone resides on together. Facing the threat of the Insect Race, how can this Mandak person be so selfish as to make demands for such a small issue?

However, Brother Hero waved his hand, interrupting Yadun’s subsequent words, indicating that he didn’t mind.

At the same time, he secretly glanced at Yadun beside him, secretly pleased that this guy remembered even the titles he casually made up back then, something he didn’t expect, making him feel a bit smug inside.

Throughout the process, the mercenary stood motionless with his helmet on, completely covering his face, making it impossible to read his expression. He hadn’t said a word, as if the events unfolding before him were unrelated.

Next to them, although Yadun was extremely angry, Brother Hero wasn’t upset. He actually understood the stubborn nature of the Mandak people and knew that arguing with them over this was meaningless.

"Mandak person, what is your name?"

Brother Hero asked.

"My name is Justin."

"Very well, Justin, earlier you asked if this was a task I issued. What if I say it’s not a task but a request to maintain the peace and stability of this planet? What would you do?"

"Then I would unconditionally reveal all the information I know, Your Excellency, Divine Envoy."

"Oh? Why?"

"There are two reasons. The first is because the Star Alliance saved our people, and Your Excellency is the Divine Envoy of the Star Alliance, so I would wholeheartedly share the information with you. Mandak people always repay their debts."

"And the second reason?"

"The second reason..."

Justin glanced at Yadun beside him before continuing:

"The second reason is that this planet is also our current dwelling place. Although the Phantom Spirit Clan hasn’t divided territory for us, we would still fight for it if necessary. Mandak people never fear death; this is our creed of faith."

Beside them, upon hearing Justin’s reasons, Yadun, whose anger had just subsided a bit, felt the urge to strike again.

Great, so because I didn’t divide territory for you on the planet, you guys won’t make any effort, right? You only act if we bring it up first, as if we are begging you to help. So, if this planet is overrun by the Insects, it has nothing to do with you, right?
