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

Chapter 283 The Inferiority Complex of Those in Power

In order to help Liang He better understand the rebels' modus operandi and to demonstrate the strength of the army.

Nick specifically instructed Cher to hurry up and organize a fairly large boxing match.

"Distinguished guests, this is a private room specially arranged for you by the army commander, which is also the best viewing spot."

After entering the building, Aysa led the way, taking us directly to a private room on the second floor, from which we could see the entire boxing ring.

“I’m right at the door. If you need anything, just call me.”

Perhaps on Nick's orders, Asha did not have to serve him personally today, but instead gave Liang He and Elius some private space so that they could speak freely.

"Okay, thank you."

Even though Aysa was the one responsible for monitoring her, Liang He still maintained basic respect for her.

After Asha left with a smile, she began to take in the environment of the private room.

"It looks like this room was specially set up for watching boxing matches."

It's almost like a luxury private room, except it has a balcony.

If Liang He wants to experience the passion and excitement of boxing up close, she can choose to sit on the balcony, where she can enjoy a panoramic view.

If she gets tired, she can choose to sit on a comfortable and soft sofa and watch the contestants' every move carefully through the electronic screen broadcast.

"It's just the inherent weakness of those in power."

Elius sat elegantly on one side of the sofa, casually stirring the grapes in the fruit bowl, then picked one that looked good and began to peel it.

"What you're saying? Aren't you the same?"

As far as she knew, Elius was the leader of the space pirates and must have done a lot of robbery and plundering.

Given his fondness for sparkly jewelry, he must have snatched quite a few treasures.

"I'm different!"

Realizing that Liang He had misunderstood him, Elius immediately changed from a lazy posture to sitting upright.

He explained to Liang He in a sincere and earnest tone.

"I am indeed the leader of the space pirates, but the rule I set for my subordinates is to rob the rich and help the poor, and never harm the innocent."

Of course, the robbery targets the rich who are heartless and cruel, while the relief is given to the poor who have to support a large family.

However, with such a large force as space pirates, there are always some who harbor selfish motives, or even those who outwardly comply but inwardly defy and deceive others. Elius has limited energy and cannot completely prohibit them.

"Absolutely no innocent people will be spared?"

Liang He smiled and sat down next to Elius.

Elius naturally arranged the peeled grapes on a plate and handed them to Liang He.

After eating a grape, Liang He showed no remorse whatsoever; she still had to speak her mind.

"You mean, you attacked me back then because you thought I wasn't innocent?"

Well, Elius, who had inadvertently dug himself another hole, was now speechless and on the verge of tears.

He coughed twice as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, pointed frantically at the 'performance' that was about to begin below the stage, and then, feigning composure, got up and walked towards the balcony.

"The match is about to start, let's watch the match, let's watch the match..."

Noticing Elius's panic and helplessness, Liang He chuckled and shook her head, not really intending to hold it against him.

Based on her understanding of Elius, he wasn't inherently bad; at most, he had some wicked tastes, but he wouldn't actually do anything truly inhumane.

Just like that sneak attack on Tianyao Star, Elius didn't really go for the kill. Otherwise, with his strength, even Liang He would have had a tough battle.

"They seemed very excited."

Liang He, carrying a glass of grapes, walked to Elius's side, looking at the excited crowd below the stage with some confusion. "The boxing ring in the rebel army has always been a stepping stone for them. The stronger they are, the more likely they are to be noticed. It's a rare opportunity, so of course they're excited."

After listening to Elius's explanation, Liang He frowned slightly.

She would normally agree with and find the rule of survival of the fittest and the principle of merit above all else perfectly reasonable.

However, appearing in the rebel army means it's not a simple selection process, but a life-or-death battle where lives are at stake.

"If you don't like it, why did you make Nick prepare for this boxing match?"

Noticing that Liang He was in low spirits, Elius whispered a question in her ear, taking advantage of the cheers of the crowd.

In this way, even if there are people listening inside the room, they won't be able to hear what they're saying.

"I was just using this to show him that there was a possibility of cooperation."

Liang He whispered her reply in Elius's ear.

It will take time to figure out the rebels' internal situation. If she is too resistant at the beginning and there is no possibility of cooperation, she may not die, but her actions will certainly be restricted.

However, if Nick is too proactive, he will accelerate the process, which may put Liang He in a dilemma, making it difficult for her to decide whether to refuse or agree.

So, the current situation is just right.

"Because I signaled the possibility of cooperation without being too obvious, and even showed some hesitation and indecision, Nick felt more at ease."

Facing Elius, Liang He revealed all her thoughts without reservation, a trust that moved him deeply.

Feeling his heart pounding uncontrollably, Elius stared blankly at Liang He's profile.

This face, which had appeared in his dreams countless times, still captivated him with longing and reluctance every time he saw it.

"That's why Nick didn't restrict my freedom after receiving these messages, allowing me to move around freely in most areas."

Liang He, who was focused on explaining the key points to Elius, suddenly turned her head when he did not respond for a long time. She then met Elius's eyes, which were gradually turning dark.

She instinctively raised her hand to cover his eyes.

"You won't lose control and transform here, will you?"

Liang He is a master at ruining the mood.

The main issue is that she doesn't really understand the orcs' transformation mechanism, and she doesn't know if Elius can control himself, or if he will suddenly turn back into Little Black, or the Black Mist from when they first met.

"By the way, why were you a cloud of black mist before?"

Speaking of this, Liang He found it very strange.

Shouldn't orcs be able to transform between human and beast forms? Why is Elius the only exception, creating a cloud of black mist?
"...This is just a smokescreen."

Distracted by Liang He, Elius could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"As you know, as the leader of the space pirates, I have made many enemies. If I were to reveal my beast form, it would be easier for others to find my weaknesses."

Orcs are not invincible; they always have some weaknesses.

Observing the beast's behavior to find the enemy's potential weaknesses, or even fatal flaws, is also a common tactic.

"I see."

Liang He nodded in understanding and didn't ask any further questions.

The current situation is not suitable for asking further questions.

Normally, she would be very curious about what Elius's true beast form would look like.

"Alright, you should just watch your boxing match."

Elius gently turned Liang He's head toward the boxing ring, signaling her to focus her attention on the match below.

This match was also full of twists and turns, and hidden dangers.
