Chapter 131 She Wants to Avenge the Victims
"Erius".

Elius, who had been secretly observing Liang He, wanted to find an opportunity to take her away, but he didn't expect that before he could take action, Huo An would expose his true identity.

In order not to alert Liang He, the two tacitly moved to the back of the hotel, where they confronted each other openly under the cover of the building.

"Huo An, I really didn't expect you to appear here. It seems you really value Liang He."

Elius's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile, and his amber eyes gradually deepened until they were as black as ink.

Along with the change, his appearance also changed; he was no longer the 'Ellie' who had spoken with Liang He before, but the real Elius.

"I never expected that a leader of space pirates would actually follow the orders of the rebels."

Elius was young and impetuous, and never concealed his appearance, so Hoan was very familiar with him.

"Hmph, they're just a bunch of rebels, why would I listen to them?"

When Elius thought of the rebels, he was reminded of the foolish Valken, who had underestimated them and he would not have been trapped in the protected area.

However, he was also grateful to Valken, because if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have met Liang He.

"So, what is your reason for getting involved in this melee?"

Based on Hoan's understanding of Elius, he never submits to anyone and disdains obeying the orders of the rebels. So what reason does he have to get involved?

"What if I said it was for Liang He?"

Elius chuckled lightly, his eyebrows raised smugly, his black curly hair swaying in the wind, revealing his unrestrained arrogance.

Upon hearing Liang He's name, Huo An's expression darkened. Since his target was Liang He, it meant there was no possibility of negotiation, and there was no need for him to continue probing.

"If you want to hurt her, you'll have to get past me first!"

The moment he finished speaking, Huo An transformed into his beast form, displaying the power of a Kunpeng (a mythical bird), and confronted Elius.

Looking up at the Kunpeng that blotted out the sky, a dark glint flashed in Elius's eyes. He sneered, and a cloud of black mist instantly enveloped him, sending him into the air.

"Roar!"

The two giant beasts fought in the air, exchanging blows without giving an inch.

Fortunately, all unrelated personnel had already evacuated and entered the underground safe house, and the hotel building served as a cover for them.

Neither Liang He, who was inside the hotel, nor the rebels commanding the warships noticed their presence.

[Urgent Notice: Everyone, please proceed to the lobby on the first floor immediately. The hotel will activate the underground emergency exit. Please evacuate in an orderly manner.]

As the announcement came over the loudspeaker, Lucas and his group, under the guidance of the hotel manager, were heading to the underground security facility.

"Wait, have you seen Liang He? I need to go find her; I can't leave her up there alone."

President Lucas stood at the top of the stairs, refusing to go down, insisting on going to find Liang He.

"President, the situation is dangerous right now, but Liang He is protected by Mr. Holder, so she'll be fine. She might be down soon."

Fearing that Chairman Lucas might fall in the crowd, Assistant An could only hold onto his arm tightly, while also avoiding the surging crowd.

"No! The rebels' target is Liang He. If they capture Liang He, we're doomed!"

Whether President Lucas sees Liang He as his future successor or as a like-minded junior, he genuinely cares for her and would never stand by and watch her go into danger.
"But President..."

Assistant An tried to persuade him further, but President Lucas wouldn't listen until Thoreau was pushed into their midst by the crowd.

"President Lucas, I'm Liang He's friend. I'll go find her. You all should hide inside quickly." Because his movements were restricted, Solo didn't want to enter the underground safe house in the first place. They had given him a good reason. Without waiting for President Lucas's reply, he turned around and squeezed out in the opposite direction.

"Huh? You... what's your name?!"

Chairman Lucas wanted to ask Thoreau's name, but the man had already disappeared. In the end, he had no choice but to be dragged into the underground safe house by several old friends.

"Brother, let's not cause trouble for the children."

"Yes, I heard that Liang He suggested that we enter the Security Bureau. She must have her own plans."

“Liang He has always been protected by someone. If we stay here, it will only make it easier for her to be controlled by others.”

They were not cowards, but they did not want to be a burden to Liang He. Given the current situation, it was better to follow the arrangements.

The hotel's announcements continued to play repeatedly, as the federal troops stationed there conducted a thorough search to ensure nothing was missed.

During the inspection, they were not surprised to find Hoan and Elius fighting each other. After being instructed by their superiors, they tacitly helped cover for each other, pretending that they had not seen anything.

"Report: All personnel have been evacuated. Please provide further instructions."

"We are now sending people to guard the underground security station. If anyone makes any unusual movements, we will immediately take control!"

With everyone evacuated in an emergency, there's no guarantee that there won't be any rebel spies among them. However, as long as the federal army sends people to keep an eye on things, even if there are moles, they can be brought under control in time.

"Roger that!"

With everyone evacuated, the rebels' third bombing was about to begin, but Liang He was still being held onto by Holder.

"Liang He, what you're about to do is too bold and too dangerous. I don't agree."

Pulling his thoughts back, Holder recalled Liang He's suggestion, and his face scrunched up, clearly saying two words—No way!
"Now everyone enters the underground safe house. Even if we are bombarded by warships, it will not affect the underground. We just need to hold out until the federal reinforcements arrive."

In Holder's view, there was absolutely no need for her to take any risks. To put it bluntly, Liang He's life was more important than most people's.

Since this concerns orcs in their evolutionary stage, Holder has no right to put Liang He in danger.

“Holder, you and I both know very well that the warships are just one part of the rebels’ plan.”

If Liang He's prediction is correct, the rebels should be capturing animals on Green Wilderness Star in large numbers, either turning them into ferocious beasts on the spot or taking them back for research.

Neither of these situations is what Liang He wants to see, especially when she recalls the night she met the Silver Moon Wolf, she vows to avenge these victimized animals!
"The fact that they don't occupy Green Field Star doesn't mean they can't turn it into a hell. I don't want to see that happen."

The once vibrant Green Star has become a dead ashes, with only relentless, ferocious beasts remaining. It's too tragic.

"In that case, I'll go with you..."

Meeting Liang He's resolute gaze, Holder was deeply moved. Knowing he couldn't persuade her otherwise, he decided to act alongside her.

If danger were to arise, he would protect Liang He even at the cost of his own life.

"No, you have more important things to do."

"Something more important?"

Holder frowned in confusion until Liang He explained, at which point he suddenly understood.

He looked down at Liang He, who barely reached his shoulder. Her petite frame exuded a fierce determination, and her resolute gaze was impossible to ignore.

Why did he have the illusion that he had never truly known Liang He?
"How could you-"
