Chapter 282 Rescue
Chapter 282

Defiance rolled her eyes at Ye Yao, her eyes revealing a look of disdain.

Ye Yao closed her eyes and sighed softly.

He then reached out and slapped Deffie on the back of the head.

"what--"

Defiance cried out in pain as she was slapped away and landed awkwardly on the carpet not far away.

"If you can talk, then talk properly; if you can't, then get lost."

"I've tolerated you a few times because of Niya, don't push your luck."

Ye Yao said, "If you don't want your eyes, I can gouge them out for you."

With a casual slap, Defiance roughly understood the gap between herself and Ye Yao.

Judging from Ye Yao's expression, she didn't use her full strength at all.

She felt a throbbing headache, which made her limbs uncoordinated, and she staggered, unable to get up.

Lu Huochuan watched quietly without offering any opinion.

They certainly wouldn't try to mediate a fight.

Neither of them are easy to deal with, but neither of them are unreasonable either.

No one will die.

Ye Yao stood up, walked up to her, and looked down at her calmly.

"If you don't want to see me, then invite someone out."

"Or cover your eyes."

"If I ever see you behaving this rudely again..."

He crouched down, pinched her chin, and spoke in a warning tone.

"Kill you!"

He flung her chin away and even wiped his fingers on her clothes with a look of disgust, which was extremely insulting.

Then he stood up and left.

Defiant watched Ye Yao leave in silence, remaining motionless for a long time.

It's not that I don't want to move, it's just that my brain is still spinning.

"You're so crazy about Nia, why do you dislike her sister so much?"

Lu Huochuan asked curiously.

Her relationship with Niya isn't good right now, so shouldn't she use Ye Yao's connection to repair her close relationship with Niya?
How did you end up offending people so badly?

I really want to pry open her brain and see what's inside.

Defiance pursed her lips, offering no answer to the question.

"Why are you with her? This woman is terrifyingly strong. Are you really not afraid of dying at her hands?"

She was also curious about how the two of them had gotten together.

Lu Huochuan waved his hand, and everyone in the room left.

What the two talked about afterwards remains unknown.

**
While I was half asleep, my communicator rang.

Ye Yao frowned as she looked at the virtual screen in front of her. After seeing the avatar on it, her frown relaxed, and she answered the call.

Just as I was about to say something, I saw Connie's red and swollen face from crying.

Her eyes still held fear.

“Ah Yao…”

Upon seeing Ye Yao, she felt as if she had grasped a lifeline, wishing she could leap into the screen.

Ye Yao comforted her, "Don't rush, tell me slowly, I'm listening. What happened on your end?"

For the young lady of the Logan family to cry so miserably, something must have happened.

As for being scolded by elders in the family or something, that's impossible.

Her status at home is absolutely tied for first place with old man Logan; she's incredibly pampered.

Connie raised her hand to wipe away the tears that welled up in her eyes, and choked out her words.

"Tusaya is leading a pirate fleet to attack Stelter. Ayao, so many people are dying..."

She looked at Ye Yao with sorrowful eyes.

Thinking back on the past few days, Wang had sought help everywhere, and although he had received responses, those people had not yet arrived.

As Tusaya's fleet drew closer to the capital planet, Connie, who had been born into wealth and lived a happy and carefree life since childhood, found it difficult to calm her emotions upon seeing the countless dead and wounded citizens of Stant.

"Ah Yao, can you come and save Steinert?"

She bit her pink lips, looking troubled.

"I know saying this might be too selfish, trying to drag you into the conflict, but I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Yao interrupted, "I promise you."

Connie opened her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears, and stared blankly at her.

Ye Yao chuckled, "I promise you."

Stelter was attacked, and it was Tusaya who was attacked; unsurprisingly, it was due to the sins she had committed before.

She naturally disliked the Lu family, but Steinert didn't belong solely to the Lu family.

"Wait for me, I'll bring men over."

Ye Yao cut off the signal and got up to call Gui Yi.

Of course, you need to tell Lu Huochuan before leaving.

"You're taking everyone with you?"

Knowing about her actions, Lu Huochuan asked.

This time, about thirty warships came from Blackrock Prison.

Don't be fooled by their small numbers; they are all quite powerful in combat.

"Take half."

Ye Yao said, "You should hurry up too. I don't want to waste too much time here."

Lu Huochuan nodded, "We have enough people here. Do you need me to send some?"

Ye Yao refused.

"If it can be resolved, it's hard to repay favors; if you can avoid owing them, then don't."

There are some favors that you can't owe.

Los and Qin An are currently the exceptions on Ye Yao's side.

When interests are involved, everything is negotiable.

Lu Huochuan helped her not out of any personal gain, but entirely out of gratitude.

She doesn't want to.

**
Stelter was in complete chaos.

Tusaia, the greatest space pirate who traverses multiple star systems, has completely surrounded the Stelt star system with his men.

Several of these habitable planets have already fallen.

King Herman of Stelth has already sent a request for help to the Covenant, and they said they will send someone to handle it.

However, it will take time for them to come over.

They've also sought help from neighboring galaxies, but there's still no news.

These few days are enough for unpredictable changes to occur in Steiner.

Logan Mansion.

Connie found her brother and said, "I messaged Ayao, and she's sending people over to help us."

Weissman asked, "Queen Xitu?"

"Hmm," Connie said, "It will take a few days, brother. Can we hold on?"

She is afraid.

Stelter was her home; her Logan family had lived there for generations. Although she could escape, she couldn't bear to leave.

The young man said, "Don't worry."

They should be able to hold on.

Even if she couldn't hold on any longer, she could send her younger sister away immediately.

I won't let anything happen to her.

The young man didn't understand why Tusaya, whom they had been paying a "toll" to every year, had suddenly attacked them.

They didn't even give us a chance to negotiate in advance.

Connie was held in her brother's arms, her tears still flowing.

She suddenly realized that she couldn't help at all, and even seeing the horrific scenes of the attacked planets was unbearable.

I never really felt it before, but now I truly understand the cruelty and ruthlessness of space pirates.

They have no regard for life; in their hands, life is nothing more than something to be harvested at will.

At this moment, Mr. Logan came downstairs.

Seeing the brother and sister, he nodded to his grandson.

The young man understood, comforted Connie in his arms, and coaxed her back to her room to rest.

Connie greeted her grandfather and obediently went back to her room.

Now is not the time for her to act spoiled or unreasonable.

"This might have something to do with the Lu family."

Grandpa Logan spoke in a steady voice, "It is said that some time ago, those three members of the Lu family appeared near Tusaiya's territory and even attacked Tusaiya's main stronghold."
