March 7th was a little stunned, but it was already on the shelf, so she had to do it whether she wanted to or not.

Following the display on the screen, after a period of rushing and repeatedly confirming the route on the tablet, everyone looked up at the grocery section in front of them.

On March 7th, with a pout, she returned the tablet to Chen Jie.

"Hey, Kafka, stop hiding! We know you're hiding behind there with three Cloud Cavalry soldiers under your control."

Did they know I was hiding in here? How could they? I clearly made sure to remove all traces.

Kafka's eyes were filled with doubt. Now that she had been discovered, there was no need to hide any longer.

However, when Kafka came out and saw Dustfall, that doubt vanished at that moment.

"Huh? It's you. No wonder they were able to find me directly. You, scholar, must have helped me a lot, right?"

"So that voyeuristic feeling was also your doing?"

Dust Calamity frowned: "Spying? That's tracking."

Kafka fell silent upon hearing this. "Uh, boring. I was hoping to play with you guys a little longer, but it seems like continuing to hide is pointless."

"Aren't you going to use your armor? You used it on Yalilo and the Black Tower space station, didn't you?"

Chen Jie's eyes widened in displeasure. What did this woman mean? I just wanted to finish quickly so I could do what I wanted to do. Is it my fault for interrupting your game with Xing?

March 7th, still furious, put her hands on her hips and glared at Kaffa with displeasure.

"Wow! You wicked woman, you say we're spying on you? Isn't it obvious you're spying on us?!"

"Dust Calamity! Aren't we going to attack? Why is it a blue suit of armor?"

Kafka's pupils contracted. Judging from the little girl's expression, this must be a new one. It seems he's already obtained his fourth power in Luofu—quite fast!

The other three members of the train crew were suspected of the same thing.

Is it another new suit of armor? When was it made? Could it have started after Yalilo's story ended and he returned to the train?

This production rate is far too fast.

Tingyun stood at the back of the crowd, her eyes fixed on Chen Jie ahead.

Armor with blue as the main color and eagle as the totem?

It looks ordinary, so why does its aura feel so off?

Dust Destroyed remained silent, simultaneously reaching for and turning the knob at his waist—a sight the train crew wouldn't have guessed.

"Xing, I remember one of these knobs is for summoning weapons, and the other is like a skill. What happens when we turn them at the same time?"

Xing was stumped by the question and shook her head without hesitation, saying, "I don't know either. This is the first time I've ever seen two tribulations spinning at the same time."

"Perhaps it's a combination of skill and weapon? It can't be some super powerful attack that blows this place up, can it?"

Chapter 98: Courtesy first, then attack

Seeing the Dust Calamity making its move, Kafka decisively moved to the side, seemingly to prevent the Dust Calamity from attacking and injuring the Cloud Cavalry.

This scene made Walter and Danheng glance at each other slightly.

As the knob turned, two luminous scrolls appeared side by side in front of Chen Jie, a sight that left San Yueqi and Xing with question marks on their heads.

What are those two luminous scrolls? Each one seems to have a character engraved on it, but I can't understand either of them.

Kafka narrowed her eyes; she was ready to run away. Her main reason for provoking her was her curiosity about the true nature of Dust Calamity's abilities.

Suddenly, Chen Jie's hand passed through the first light scroll, and a blue-white longsword appeared on his forearm, then passed through the second light scroll.

"Piercing Wind Thorn"

With a loud eagle's cry, countless lightsaber-like objects shot towards Kafka herself.

Can't hide!

Kafka's pupils contracted sharply. She tried to move her body, but her instincts told her it was too late.

Suddenly, a blur flashed across the horizon, passing by Kafka at an unpredictable speed.

The next second, a series of violent explosions, like firecrackers for the New Year, ripped through the cargo area where Kafka was located, shattering it into pieces. Even the floor was blown open, revealing the gears underneath.

A vehicle resembling a motorboat suddenly appeared and stopped to the side. A very small girl sat on it, looking at everyone with extreme dissatisfaction.

Kafka, whose hands had been bound at some point, was now standing beside the motorboat.

"As passengers of the Star Train, is your method of helping Luofu simply to blow it up and make things easier for the enemy?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie couldn't help but glance sideways. However, when he saw Fu Xuan arrive and rescue Kafka, he wasn't particularly surprised.

Looking at Kafka, who had been exuding the aura of a wicked woman one second and transformed into a friendly older sister the next, Dust Calamity removed his armor.

"This jet ski is pretty cool, but why does this little girl talk so rudely?"

"Hey! Little girl, isn't it normal for fighting the enemy to cause damage to the surrounding area?"

March 7th glared at the proud Fu Xuan, saying with dissatisfaction, "Besides, if you hadn't just killed Kaffa, it would have been over."

Fu Xuan's three eyes all wrinkled: "The end?"

"I originally intended to introduce myself first, and then discuss our merits and demerits with you all. However, it seems that it's necessary to change that approach now."

"I will fully compensate for the goods and all losses incurred, so please, Master Fu, skip this process."

Having removed his armor, Chen Jie calmly stepped forward, holding a bank card he had just pulled from his pocket.

"I checked, and excluding the cargo, the repair cost for the blasted area is probably around ten million credits?"

"There's fifty million in this card. Aside from the terrain details, this is compensation for the goods. Any overpayment will be refunded, and any underpayment will be collected. That's how it should be."

Fu Xuan, who had already prepared his explanation and even opened his mouth, froze on the spot, much to the surprise of everyone on the Starry Sky Train.

"Fifty, fifty million?! No, Dust Tribulation, you, you're that rich?"

Hearing the shock and tone in his voice, and seeing the astonished expression on March 7th's face, Chen Jie thought for a moment.

"I never said I didn't have a single penny on me, did I?"

At this moment, Fu Xuan was somewhat at a loss. She had never thought that the other party would not only be easy to talk to, but also so generous!

She knew exactly what was stored here; it was mostly daily necessities and supplies.

In other words, the shattered floor and damaged mechanical parts are the most valuable items.

"Alas, according to regulations, this matter needs to be reported to the Bureau of Construction and the Bureau of Shipbuilding to determine the losses; it is not appropriate for this Grand Diviner to handle it."

"Since you recognize me, the Grand Steward, and have shown a prompt attitude in apologizing for the loss, then let's let it go for now."

"To make a long story short, regarding the Star Core Hunters, I have a general's proclamation here. After you capture any Star Core Hunters, I, the Grand Steward, will take over the interrogation."

Do you all still have any questions?

Chen Jie pushed up his glasses, his eyes unreadable: "There is something I doubt. Would the Grand Master of the Palace be willing to share the interrogation process and results with us?"

Ok?

Walter, who was about to say something, immediately understood why Dustfall had acted this way from the very beginning.

First courtesy, then force

"Sharing? I refuse, everyone. The methods and processes of the Tabu's interrogation should not be observed by outsiders. After reviewing Kafka's testimony, it will naturally be submitted to the General for a decision."

Beside Fu Xuan, Kafka, who was bound, inexplicably laughed: "Grand Diviner, you might be in trouble."

Am I in trouble? What do you mean?

Before Fu Xuan could even consider those words, Chen Jie's aura instantly sharpened.

"The general once said that he would share all the intelligence on the Star Core Hunters with us, not to mention that we have the right to know and observe the interrogation results of Kafka alone."

"Even if it's that fugitive, we have the right to do so. Doesn't Fu Taibu's judgment and the general's promise constitute insubordination and usurpation of power?"

"Or perhaps, General Shence has been sidelined by the Grand Diviner? His words no longer carry the same weight as the Grand Diviner's?"

Fu Xuan froze, his eyes slowly widening as he looked at Chen Jie with disbelief. Was this the same sucker who had just offered to pay compensation in advance and was even planning to pay a large sum of money?

Not only are his words so sharp, but the real issue is that Jingyuan has set a trap for me again!

Fu Xuan blushed slightly, "I know nothing about this matter, please refrain from speaking nonsense."

Dust Calamity nodded silently: "That would be best. I'll trouble the Diviner to report the events at Starport and the arrest of Star Core Hunter Kafka to General Shence."

Report it to higher authorities? You're already being so sharp-tongued now. What if you start interfering in front of Jingyuan after my town reports it to them?

However, the necessary procedures still cannot be omitted.

Fu Xuan silently took out his phone and checked the Star Core Hunter's interrogation regarding whether passengers on the Starry Sky Train were allowed to accompany him.

The moment the message was sent, the other side replied with an "OK" emoji. At that moment, Fu Xuan's face turned bright red with anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"So you knew this would happen all along, didn't you!"

"No, does Jing Yuan really know this person named Alphs Dust Calamity? How did they meet? And where did they meet?"

Jing Yuan's reply confirmed many things. After putting his phone away, Fu Xuan pondered for a moment, then dismounted from his horse, which then flew away on its own.

"In this urgent situation, we must act expediently. The four of you will come with me to the Apostolic Palace."

March 7 blinked, feeling a little unreal. "This...we're already getting ready to go to the next place?"

Danheng took out his phone and sent a message to March 7th. When March 7th picked up his phone, he unconsciously read it aloud.

"First courtesy, then force; use power to intimidate, thereby reducing unnecessary trouble and speeding up the dialogue process? What does this mean?"

Fu Xuan frowned and looked at the silly-looking girl.

Chapter 99 Little Dragon Man

"You can speak louder, my hearing might be a little off."

Danheng slapped his forehead in frustration. How could he have thought of explaining this thing to March 7th?

"Huh?" March 7th exclaimed, still a little dazed, before realizing that the little guy had overheard her rambling.

She herself didn't understand what was being said, but the short fortune teller seemed to understand it immediately.

Even Chen Jie has almost adapted to the situation on March 7th.
