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

His gaze was fixed on the universe through the window, his eyes somewhat profound.

At this moment, the other party's information was not seen as a wanted criminal, but as a warm number of credit points.

But thinking about where the target might have appeared, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Ha, what does this matter?"

A moment later, Lin Yuan lowered his head, watching his hand slowly clench, his eyes growing increasingly determined.

"Don't let anyone be so blind as to hinder my progress."

......

Chapter 44 Target Confirmation

"Fang, real name unknown, Pik. The infamous leader of the Fang Gang. The company currently has a bounty of 9700 million credits on him, of course, that's the price for capturing him alive. If he dies, the bounty is halved."

On the large screen at the front of the conference room, internal company files were being displayed, and Yingduo was introducing them to the audience.

Lin Yuan's face showed a look of great interest.

The most eye-catching thing on the screen at that moment was the avatar that covered most of the page.

With its thick mane, towering nostrils, and fierce expression, the most striking feature was the two fangs protruding from its enormous mouth.

"It's actually a pig-headed man?"

Although Lin Yuan knew that there were many races in this world, the ones he had encountered before were mostly those with human-like features.

The appearance of this guy still made Lin Yuan feel a little novel.

Then Yingduo on stage continued her introduction:

"The Fang Clan primarily engages in interstellar smuggling, and their methods are extremely ruthless. They have reportedly committed crimes such as plunder and massacre in multiple worlds. They were put on the wanted list by the company after an attack on a company transport ship and the illegal seizure of important company assets."

As Lin Yuan listened to Yingduo's introduction and watched the lines of text, images, and videos displayed on the screen, his expression gradually turned cold.

A few simple paragraphs, yet how many lives were lost within them?

"So why has the company allowed such a scoundrel to survive until now?"

But before Lin Yuan could speak, Wu Qi, who was standing to the side, spoke up angrily.

His cheeks were taut, and his eyes shone as if on fire.

The expressions on the faces of those present turned somewhat grim, and silence began to envelop the conference room.

"Ever since they were wanted for attacking the company's transport ship, this group has disappeared. Although the company has issued a warrant for their arrest, they don't go to great lengths to find them after they go into hiding, perhaps because they don't think the value is worth it."

Sakura shook her head, her voice somewhat low.

"Ha, we have time to send troops to seize the market, but not time to eliminate these executioners?"

Wu Qi crossed his arms and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"There's no need to get so worked up. This kind of thing has happened before, it happens now, and it will happen again in the future."

Seeing Wu Qi's slightly excited expression, Bronson couldn't help but shake his head.

"Youth is always passionate, but you'll change if you experience a lot..."

"Have you become as cold-blooded as you?" Wu Qi stared at him and said.

Bronson's expression changed, but in the end he just shook his head and stopped arguing.

"All right."

Lin Yuan clapped his hands lightly, interrupting the conversation.

"Although such things have happened in the past, happen now, and will inevitably happen in the future, and some even say that their existence implies their rationality, does what happened in the past mean it was right? Does what is reasonable mean it is right?"

Lin Yuan stood up and looked around at everyone present.

Do you know why you're all sitting together in this conference room right now?

He asked softly.

"The reason I chose you is actually the same reason you joined us."

Undoubtedly, you are all elites from your respective regions, and everyone wants to take this opportunity to go further and higher within the company.

But more importantly, we all have another thought, and we all have things we can't stand.

Prior to this, I reviewed your past experiences and files. I also conducted a series of tests and assessments on you. Some of you may feel angry about this happening.

Lin Yuan pointed to the screen while looking at Wu Qi.

Upon hearing this, the latter's eyes shone brightly as he met Lin Yuan's gaze.

"Some people bury their anger deep inside, letting the flames make their blood burn even hotter."

Lin Yuan turned his head to look to the side, where Bronson, who was looking directly at him, had a flicker in his eyes, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

“Some people have tried to rob the rich to help the poor, and some have even experienced a lot of bad things.”

Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the field, passing over everyone's face.

"So we are all like-minded people. There was no benefit to doing these things before, but now there is. Even if there was resistance before, it can be overcome now. What is right and what are the rules?"

We are Interstellar Peace Company, and we are practitioners walking the path of the Great Amber King's [Preservation]. The right path has always been right beneath our feet.

As Lin Yuan spoke, a golden light flashed in his eyes.

The simple words, echoing in everyone's ears, gave them a sense of inner strength.

This is the power of [Preservation]. Lin Yuan discovered that every time he activated it while speaking, it would resonate with the audience.

"Clap clap clap."

After a while, Yingduo on the stage took the lead in clapping, and the room was filled with applause.

"I never expected you to be so eloquent, Captain! I was just so tempted to rush in and fight against evil!"

She said with a radiant smile.

"If talking about how useful it is, then let's take action and continue to share intelligence."

Lin Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.

"Okay, this discovery was actually a coincidence. Xiang Yu had previously used hacking techniques to enter the shadow network and found information about human trafficking. Following this clue, he eventually discovered traces of the long-lost Fang Gang in the network."

After using technical tracking, although the identities of the individuals involved were encrypted and hidden in multiple ways, Xiang Yu still managed to discover their recent movements.

Listening to Yingduo's continued analysis of the intelligence above, Lin Yuan felt not as excited as he had just appeared, but rather somewhat heavy-hearted.

Looking at the screen, one sees the crimes committed by this fanged creature: attacking company transport ships, destroying vital company assets, and harming company personnel. These crimes are even more serious than the subsequent massacres and plundering of smaller worlds.

Even the human trafficking mentioned earlier wasn't listed as a wanted crime by the company. Keep in mind that in his hometown before he transmigrated, human trafficking was considered a heinous crime.

Why is it that as technology advances, human value is increasingly trampled upon?

Lin Yuan knew why; it was because this was a chaotic world.

In the universe of the Starry Sky Railway, among countless worlds representing countless systems and institutions, as long as you cannot solve the most basic problem of survival, you cannot pursue other needs.

Not to mention these criminals, even their market development department itself incorporates human populations as a resource into the market on some planets, and there are even things like pan-galactic slave markets.

Lin Yuan didn't feel frustrated or sad about it; he just watched calmly.

I feel somewhat uncomfortable with it, and I feel that there is still a long way to go.

If you want to change something, both power and authority are indispensable.

Lin Yuan knew he wasn't exactly a righteous person, but the memories of his past life still echoed in his mind, giving him a few more principles.

But what would he have to lose in order to gain power in the future? Lin Yuan didn't know what he would think in the future.

It's just that I have the system at my fingertips now, so I can do whatever I want.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's gaze became even more profound as he focused intently on the description above.

"Through a series of investigations using both technical and non-technical means, we now know that Fang and his gang will appear at an auction in five days. This channel is a regular place for selling stolen goods in some gray areas."

"Where?" Lin Yuan's eyes flickered.

"This is where things get complicated."

Sakura's expression turned serious.

"The location of this auction is—the free city where all races gather, Thousand Star City."

......

(The protagonist's character is not static; a person's personality is related to their experiences.)

Chapter 45 Advance Four

"Thousand Star City is a place where all races gather. Of course, 'all races' is just a figure of speech, but there is no doubt that many races from within the star system are gathered here."

As Yingduo spoke, a new image appeared on the screen.

This is a huge circular ring, with a streamlined shape throughout.

The circles of different inner diameters nest together and rotate around the center, forming an exceptionally harmonious megastructure against the dark backdrop of the universe.

This is Thousand Star City, one of the most famous space hubs in the Tver Sector.

Who would have thought that Thousand Star City, now known as the land of myriad races and a trade hub, was once just a small space transit station?

However, after the Star Core Catastrophe, many galactic rails were forced to become blocked, and this place was transformed into one of the few galactic rails that remained open.

From then on, trading caravans stopped here to exchange ideas, gradually turning this place into a free trade market spanning multiple star systems.

As its reputation grew, people of all races were attracted to buy property or do business here.

Later, more giant corporations saw the potential here. After various forms of negotiation, the major organizations and corporations finally decided to jointly invest in the construction and divide their respective shares.

And so it eventually became the Thousand Star City we know today, whose fame in the Tver system is almost comparable to that of the Sith.

A diverse mix of races and factions, coupled with lenient policies and a high standard of living, have led people to call this place the City of Freedom.

"That's why this operation has some complicated aspects."

After completing the above introduction, Yingduo changed the subject.
