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

Chapter 463 Thank you for always believing in me.

Finally, he could eat Liang He's cooking again, and Holder sighed with satisfaction. It was truly worth all the effort he had put into taking on this mission.

How is the reserve doing now?

Liang He hadn't been back for a long time, and she always kept them in her heart.

Luckily, the furry creatures stayed with her, otherwise she probably wouldn't have been able to stay put for long.

"Everything is fine. The research data you sent back before was also very useful."

Knowing Lan Zhuo's talent in animal medicine, Liang He sent a copy of the data to Lan Zhuo with his permission while sending the data to the research institute.

"How are the Silver Moon Wolves? Are they alright?"

The Dark Night Wolf King and the Silver Moon Wolf family were unable to join Liang He on the sea route study tour.

It's been a month since we last saw each other.

"That's fine, it's just that since you weren't there, they didn't want to stay in the service area, so they went back to their original territories."

Generally, rescued wild animals are assessed and then released back into the wild whenever possible.

Therefore, Huo An and his companions did not stop the Dark Night Wolf King's family from leaving.

"But don't worry, the Dark Night Wolf King is a Class A ferocious beast after all, and it is still within our key monitoring range. If there is any danger or emergency, we will arrive in time to help."

The Dark Wolf King was able to return to nature thanks to Liang He.

If it weren't for her vouching, the Dark Night Wolf King would definitely have been taken to the research institute for close observation.

"That's good."

After hearing a brief explanation of the situation in the reserve from Holder, Liang He finally felt much more at ease.

In fact, she knew that in such a large protected area, one more person wouldn't make a difference, and if she were to leave, it wouldn't matter either. If anything happened, Huo An and the others could handle it.

However, she is, after all, a zookeeper at the reserve, and as long as she hasn't resigned, she should remember her responsibilities.

"What are your plans next?"

Holder glanced in the direction where Yuri and the others were imprisoned, and quietly asked Liang He about the plan.

Liang He simply shook her head slightly at this.

"No plans."

Now, the enemy is in the shadows while she is in the open. To catch the mastermind behind the scenes, she can only wait for the other side to take the initiative.

"Don't be fooled by how confident I sounded when I confronted Yuri; in reality, I wasn't very sure about it."

If the other side truly treats Yuri as a pawn and remains inactive, there's nothing Liang He can do.

"Assuming the people behind the scenes really give up on Yuri, aren't they worried that Yuri will betray them to protect himself?"

Liang Jia felt that as long as one side could be persuaded, everything else would be easy to discuss.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

In contrast, Elius, as the leader of the space pirates, had a different perspective on this matter from the viewpoint of someone in a superior position.

"Since Yuri can be used by them, besides the involvement of interests, there must be something they have on him or something that is vulnerable to him."

Therefore, unless they can find something to hold against Yuri, or a weakness, it will be difficult to get him to talk.

"The way to govern subordinates is to use both kindness and severity."

Liang He's simple and clear summary was unanimously approved by everyone.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't we be in a very passive position?"

Holder was still thinking about teaming up with Liang He and having a good fight.

He had long been annoyed by those bastards who abused their power, committed all sorts of evil deeds, and did nothing right.

"Actually... I do have some guesses."

Elius pursed his lips, seemingly hesitant.

The poacher leader almost uttered his name before he died. No one else heard it, but he was in beast form at the time, and his hearing was extraordinary.

"The poacher killed by Yuri, his last words were probably to Eli."

At that time, when the poacher leader made his last sound, Liang He and the others only heard "ai," but not the rest.

"Elie?"

Liang He frowned slightly, not expecting to be involved with Elius.

"Is this matter related to your family?"

In fact, Liang He didn't know much about Elius's past.

But even from just a few words, she could piece together a rough outline.

To Elius, the members of the Eli family were tantamount to enemies.

"……Yes."

Despite the three pairs of questioning gazes, Elius was most concerned about Liang He.

He was afraid she would misunderstand and think he was just trying to use this incident to shift the blame onto the Ellie family.

"I really heard it, I'm not lying to you..."

"I know."

Sensing the panic deep within Elius's heart, Liang He looked at him with unwavering eyes, a smile on her face, completely trusting him.

"Xiao Hei, I understand."

Everyone thought that space pirates were no good, and Elius, their leader, thought so too.

However, Liang He's investigation revealed that before Elius took over the space pirate force, the space pirates were rampant, ruthless, and utterly inhuman.

But ever since Elius took over, he has explicitly prohibited it and formulated a series of regulations to prevent innocent people from being harassed by space pirates.

Even if you hate them, you wouldn't stoop to accusing them of something like this.

Elius had his own principles, such as when he agreed to cooperate with the rebels to capture her, which he later confessed to.

For him at the time, exchanging one person for a hundred ferocious beasts would not only enhance the strength of the space pirates, but also allow him to send people to conduct research in case of any unforeseen circumstances, and to thwart the rebels' plot at a critical moment.

As the leader, it was understandable that Elius planned for the future, since the rebels did not intend to kill her at the time, but only to abduct her.

Of course, if Elius were to choose again today, he would probably still agree, because only in this way could he meet her, meet the only light in his life.

"Thank you."

Thank you for always believing in me.

Elius's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't utter a single extra word, but his love was like a volcanic eruption, gushing forth uncontrollably.

"Ahem... If this matter is indeed related to the Ellie family, then we have a clear direction for our investigation."

Holder recalled that before he came, Cedril and Landon had both video-called him, repeatedly reminding him to keep a close eye on Liang He and not let her be abducted.

He tactlessly interrupted the conversation between Elius and Liang He, successfully steer the conversation back on track.

"As far as I know, the current head of the Ellie family, Duke Ellitell, is your brother?"

Elius's identity was no secret, so it wasn't offensive for Holder to reveal it now.

"Be my brother? Ha, he's not worthy."

At the mere mention of Elitaire, Elius's eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.

He smiled dismissively, but didn't want to say more, only offering a reminder.

“Elitaire is a master of appearances; you’ll easily get tricked if you’re not careful. You all better be careful.”

The perceptive Liang He discerned Elius's underlying meaning.

It seems that Elius was once betrayed by this nominal brother.

Could it be that his departure from the Ellie family and his becoming a leader of space pirates was all thanks to this Duke Elliet?
"Oh! Right, I almost forgot something!"
