After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 276 The Sassy Little Black at the Feast at Hongmen

Since Nick has already said so, if Cher continues to keep it to herself, it will only displease the leadership.

So he gathered his thoughts, carefully chose his words, and told Nick his opinion.

"From our observations and understanding of Liang He, we can tell that she cares a lot about the lives of animals."

When someone or something you care about is hurt by someone else, it's normal to feel regret, anger, or a desire for revenge.

Just like the Silver Moon Wolf that almost died before, and the poisoning incidents involving animals such as the Iron-Eating Beast, Liang He would think about avenging them.

"Whether it's poisoning of ferocious beasts or animals, the root cause lies with the Black Wizard. So it's conceivable that Liang He's actions are not simply driven by curiosity."

It's already a good thing that she didn't directly seek revenge on the dark wizard, how could she be simply curious and looking forward to meeting him?

Whether others believe it or not, Cher doesn't believe it.

"Then why do you think she would say that?"

In the empty room, just before falling asleep, he suddenly blurted out that he was looking forward to seeing the dark wizard. Commander Nick naturally sensed that something was wrong.

"Could it be that she knew you were eavesdropping and deliberately told you?"

Nick's guess made Cher fall silent.

He thought about it carefully and realized it wasn't impossible.

“Initially, besides Liang He, Elius was also in the room. Perhaps they discovered the listening device together.”

In fact, you don't even need to discover it.

Since Elius was the leader of the space pirates, he knew about certain methods even if they weren't told.

Liang He has always been a target of the rebels. Even though they have finally captured him and are treating him with courtesy, they still need to be on guard.

If she somehow manages to get her hands on a communicator or some kind of quantum computer to locate the location and send the Federation to rescue them, the rebels' headquarters would probably be wiped out.

"It doesn't matter who discovered it."

Nick smiled knowingly.

"The important thing is Liang He's intention in saying that."

According to Cher, Liang He harbors strong hostility towards dark wizards, and her use of Cher to convey this message to Nick also represents a message.

As if he had figured out the key point, Nick raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"She actually found out?"

What did you find?
Cher listened to Nick's mutterings, completely bewildered, not understanding what Liang He had discovered that surprised Commander Nick so much.
"Captain?"

Cher didn't dare to ask, but he was also afraid of disturbing Commander Nick's thoughts, so he could only offer a cautious reminder.

"If you have no other instructions, I'll go and take care of the work you assigned me."

"Well, let's go."

Commander Nick waved casually, and after Cher left, he did not get up but leaned back on the sofa and continued to think.

When the time was almost up, he finished the red wine in his glass in one gulp, stood up, straightened his clothes, and then slowly opened the door and headed to the banquet hall.

"Why hasn't your commander arrived yet? Is this how the rebels treat their guests?"

Elius frowned, tapping his fingertips incessantly on the armrest of the chair, seemingly very impatient.

Liang He, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Aysa who had returned and guessed that Nick would be on the court soon.

"Haha! Chief Eli, please calm down. I had to deal with some urgent matters, which caused the delay. I'm so sorry."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Commander Nick entered the banquet hall from outside, while simultaneously apologizing to Elius.

Regardless, given Nick's status as the leader of the Elius Pirates, his late arrival was indeed somewhat disrespectful.

"Ha." Elius scoffed at Nick's hypocritical explanation and remained silent.

If Liang He hadn't wanted to have some fun here, he really wouldn't have bothered to play along with Nick, that hypocrite.

"I wouldn't dare. Commander Nick is a very busy man, how could it be my place to make comments?"

Having spent a lot of time with Liang He, Elius has also learned to use some idioms to sarcasticly criticize people.

Regardless of whether Commander Nick understood or not, he himself seemed to enjoy what he was saying.

"It was my fault for neglecting these two distinguished guests. I will drink three cups of wine as an apology."

Commander Nick might not fully understand the idioms, but he could still tell from Elius's tone and expression.

It's unclear where Nick learned his drinking culture, but before Elius could even speak, he started chugging his drink.

It wasn't until he downed three cups of fiery baijiu that he realized he had underestimated its potency.

"You... cough, Commander Nick is indeed generous. Since you are so sincere, let's just let it go."

Elius, who was about to say a few more sarcastic remarks to him, changed his tone after feeling Liang He squeeze his hand.

Upon hearing this, Commander Nick glanced at Liang He's subtle movements, his eyes darkening slightly, while the smile on his lips grew even wider.

"Thank you. You two must be hungry too. Why don't you have a meal first?"

Commander Nick clapped his hands, and a waiter carrying exquisite dishes entered through a side door, gracefully placing the plates in front of them one by one.

Starting with cold dishes, as soon as one plate was finished and removed from the table, another plate was served immediately, without even a chance to speak.

As Nick ate, he sensed something was wrong. His gaze darkened, and he gave Asha a sharp look.

Aysa, who understood immediately, broke out in a cold sweat and quickly left through the side door, instructing those people not to disturb the conversation between the commander and the distinguished guests.

"You two have come from afar, I wonder if these dishes suit your taste?"

Seeing Asha leave, Liang He knew that Nick couldn't sit still any longer.

However, the hot dishes had all been served, and she had almost finished eating, so she decided to chat.

"It's alright, but I prefer a big table of food where you can eat whatever you want."

Liang He wasn't used to this aristocratic way of serving food when she was on Earth.

She looks good and is elegant, but she's always hungry.

"It was my oversight. I will definitely instruct them to do it according to Ms. Liang He's preferences next time."

Commander Nick accepted Liang He's feedback without question, and even cheerfully said that he would definitely make changes next time.

As for Elius, he had no objection to this elegant way of dining; in fact, it suited his usual habits.

But if Liang He doesn't like it, then he will definitely go along with Liang He's wishes.

"Commander Nick, we've had our meal and drinks, so why don't we get down to business?"

This is a trap; the real main course is about to be served.

When Elius brought it up, Commander Nick was naturally delighted.

Otherwise, he would have to think of another way to introduce the topic in a way that wouldn't seem so abrupt.

"Haha, Chief Eli is right."

Nick waved his hand, and everyone in the banquet hall except the three of them slowly left. In the end, even the side door was closed tightly, and it seemed that every word spoken had an echo.

Actually, Nick wanted to talk to them about two things, which should have been discussed separately.

However, after realizing that the relationship between the two was unusual, especially after Elius cared a lot about Liang He, he changed his mind.

"Ms. Liang He, why don't we start by talking?"
