Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

Regarding your bet with Scott, the company places the utmost importance on contractual obligations. You can communicate with him directly about related matters. I will not interfere regardless of the outcome.

"Besides, neither Scott nor my Hammerfall squad that you've encountered along the way are as bad as you've heard, are they? In addition, I heard Director Toppa talk about you a while ago."

"You know Toppa?" Xing's eyes lit up.

"Of course, I have many friends in the company, and it was from her that I first learned about your situation. I will go and see that long-lost hockey puck myself when I have the chance."

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over everyone.

"March 7th, Mr. Walter, Xing... and one more, Danheng. Speaking of this Danheng, I just saw him."

"What...you even saw Danheng? Is he alright?"

Upon hearing this, the train crew became excited.

"Of course. That guy was really nice, but I don't know where he is now." Lin Yuan nodded.

“I even kept photos, look.”

He took out his terminal and brought up the video feed.

The group quickly gathered around, but Lin Yuan noticed that Walter's body suddenly trembled—

In the image, a man with long golden hair and a calm expression was clearly visible beside Dan Heng.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

Walter lowered his voice to avoid alerting others.

"Oh, this guy is just an ordinary merchant..."

Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly, just as he was about to tease Uncle Yang, when he heard Kafka's voice coming from behind:

"Gentlemen, it's very impolite to leave a lady standing there for so long."

Her voice instantly drew everyone's attention. Immediately, everyone turned their gaze to Lin Yuan.

"You can go ahead and ask whatever you want. After all, I'll be taking this Star Core Hunter into custody soon, so I have plenty of time."

Upon hearing this, the train crew breathed a sigh of relief.

Apart from Walter remaining somewhat silent, Xing walked quickly toward Kafka.

Watching their retreating figures, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to the remaining two.

"Miss Tingyun, what a coincidence that we meet again."

"Hehe, Mr. Lin Yuan, you really have many friends. You must have come here on important business, right?" Tingyun's eyes revealed a look of inquiry.

"Of course it's for the Star Core Hunter. I can't feel at ease if I don't keep an eye on such a big fish myself."

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, then looked at the petite figure.

"President Qing, it's been a long time. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"President Lin...you...you've caused me so much suffering!!"

Qingque's face was filled with grief and indignation.

"What makes you say that?" Lin Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Take a look at our chat history!"

Lin Yuan, completely bewildered, took out his terminal, scrolled through a bunch of red-dot contacts, and finally found Qing Que:

【My Lord, I returned home yesterday... and would like to request a day off. Qingque would be eternally grateful!】

【Well, you finally understand the true meaning behind my words... Remember to complete this after you return.】

"........."

Lin Yuan remembered; it was the time he impersonated a diviner and gave Qingque a false diagnosis.

He silently scrolled down, only to find that there was much more information there:

[You're not a fortune teller, who are you really?!]

[Answer me! If you're willing to take responsibility, then state your name.]

[Mr. Lin, it was you! I'll fight you to the death!]

Lin Yuan looked up and met Qing Que's mournful expression.

"I was beaten by the diviner for three days straight, three days! Do you know how I survived those three days?!"

"Hey...."

Lin Yuan sighed slightly, then smiled.

"Qingque, doesn't this just fulfill the divination? It can only be said that the will of Heaven is hard to defy."

Chapter 233 Jianmu Shengfa

"Hey, Xing...you haven't changed at all!"

At this moment, Hoshino and Kafka looked at each other in silence before the formation.

An indescribable emotion flickered in Kafka's eyes as she slowly shook her head:

"I'm so sorry to have let you see me in such a disheveled state."

“You look good…not bad at all,” Xing murmured.

"Heh. That's good. I don't want to be remembered as a bad person."

Upon hearing this, Kafka's face immediately broke into a gentle smile.

"What a tragic couple."

Behind him, Lin Yuan, who was listening intently, sighed inwardly.

"But Xing, your skill level is too low. You can't handle this. Don't get fooled by bad women. Let me handle it..."

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Tingyun's fox ears twitching as she slowly walked to the side.

"None of them are easy to deal with."

Lin Yuan looked her over with interest, waiting for Xing to finish her questioning.

........

A moment later.

What is that future?

Xing's pupils trembled slightly; the information she had just received was too explosive and shocking.

Whether it was someone else who brought the Star Core into the Immortal Ship, or whether the Star Core Hunter's purpose was to lure their Star Train to the Immortal Ship and become heroes.

But none of those words are as distressing and suffocating as the words right now.

Elio, the "slave of fate," had already chosen a predetermined path for her and for the entire Star Train.

Should she refuse, or should she decide for herself what she wants?

Upon hearing this question, Kafka replied with a gentle expression:

“Eriol didn’t tell me anything specific about the future. The possibilities are endless. Knowing the right thing at the wrong time could render all your efforts futile. Regarding the future, I can only tell you one thing….”

Kafka's eyes reflected star-gold pupils.

"In the best and worst of futures, you will eventually face Nanuk, the Destroyer. You will need all the help you need then, for it will be a brutal battle at the level of the Star Gods."

Only by following Elio's "script" will there be a glimmer of hope. Do you understand? Even a Star God can be killed.

"Your script is about... killing the Star God?!"

Xing's face was filled with shock, and she blurted out.

"Ha, how is that possible?"

Kafka chuckled softly. But then another voice spoke softly:

"What's impossible?"

"You?" Xing looked at Lin Yuan, who had appeared beside her, with surprise, while Kafka frowned slightly.

"To mortals, the Star Gods are indeed invincible. But they are not unkillable. Star Core Hunter... what you just said is that only by following Elio's script can one overcome [Destruction]."

"Heh, a mere slave to fate dares to presume to strategize against it. Why don't you let him calculate my fate instead?"

Seeing that Kafka showed no intention of answering, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to Xing:

"Little Grey, do you know that many Star Gods have fallen? The Immortal Dragon, the Pure Idlira, the Orderly Taiyi, and... the Pioneer Akivili."

Besides, who is responsible for the downfall of [reproduction] and the disappearance of [gluttony]?

Seeing Xing's bewildered expression, Lin Yuan's words were resolute:

"Of course, it's our supreme Amber King. How about it? Instead of listening to this Star Core Hunter's nonsense, why not join our company?"

You won't need to sacrifice your free will; you'll naturally have a place in the Amber King's grand undertaking of "preservation."

"A bunch of self-absorbed fanatics, what gave you the right to make promises on behalf of Cripper?"

Kafka gave a slightly disdainful smile, but her words were incredibly firm.

"You've tried to steal my man?" Lin Yuan guessed that's probably what the other person was thinking.

However, while he understands, he doesn't indulge in it.

Staring into Kafka's eyes, Lin Yuan said, word by word:

“【The End】Wanderer, do you not know what kind of calamity the world would suffer without the Amber King?”

As a high-ranking member of the company, do you know more about Amber King than I do? Why don't you go back and ask Elio—oh, sorry, if it falls into my hands, you might not have that chance anymore.”

“Heh…” Kafka gave a mocking smile.

"Who am I? Where am I? Is this something I should be listening to?"

Xing listened to the two arguing, looking bewildered, only feeling that both of them had very strong auras.

After a moment, Kafka's gaze shifted slightly, and she looked at Xing again:
