I Just Wanted to Be a Galactic Hunter—Why Am I on the Wanted List? Chapter 73: "Two Troubles"
"Do you still want to continue gambling with ?" Loren, who was looking down and organizing his chips, glanced up at the middle-aged man.
"By the way, let correct you—it's tonight." Loren raised his hand and pointed at the clock on the casino wall;
it was already seven in the morning.
The middle-aged man slumped back against the chair's backrest, stretched lazily after a yawn, and said in a languid tone:
"Are you dreaming? I'm not gambling with you anymore. I've never seen soone as lucky as you."
"I wanted to ask if you're coming again tonight. I have a few wealthy friends I don't like. Do you want to gamble with them?"
"I can help arrange a eting for you. I shouldn't be the only one suffering this tornt......"
Loren looked at the chips on the table, pondering the middle-aged man's words.
About 37,000 points in chips. Subtracting the 17,000 needed for advancent, that leaves 20,000 chips.
That's enough to cover the needs for advancing to the Sixth Tier in one go. I can start saving resources for advancing from Sixth to Seventh Tier ahead of ti.
Thinking this, Loren turned his head and looked into the middle-aged man's eyes as he asked:
"If I win everything from them, will there be danger?"
The middle-aged man also sat up straight, stared into Loren's eyes, and answered directly, with no attempt to conceal his tone:
"Extrely dangerous."
"Then I'll be at this gambling table tonight," Loren replied with a smile.
Loren still rembered that truth about advancent. Since that's the case, let's verify it tonight.
How dangerous will it be? I hope it's not so trivial, small-scale danger. I'd be very disappointed if it were......
The middle-aged man saw Loren agree after a mont of thought.
He laughed heartily, spread his arms wide, and made a move to step forward and hug Loren, wanting to express his joy.
"I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Co on, let's get to know each other properly. Davis Feller, Section Chief of the Energy Departnt in the Jadeite Star Domain. From now on, we're friends."
Hearing the other party say he was from the Energy Departnt, Loren's expression froze for a mont.
Imdiately after, the corner of Loren's mouth involuntarily lifted slightly. His gaze beca sowhat playful and mocking as he said:
"Las Loren, hailing from the Nature Sect."
Using the Nature Sect's na one more ti... the "Gods" probably won't notice , right......
Anyway, the fact that I'm from the Nature Sect is already on record with the Energy Departnt. Using it a few more tis shouldn't matter......
After all, such a useful na is really hard to resist using.
Especially when I'm facing the Energy Departnt.
After saying this, Loren, with great malicious amusent, released the Raven from its possession state. The little creature suddenly appeared on Loren's shoulder.
The Raven, who had witnessed all of this from within Loren, understood perfectly the mont it appeared. It opened its beak and bestowed a blessing upon Davis Feller:
"Mr. Davis, I am very happy you have beco my master's friend. May Nature bless you."
Instantly, Davis Feller's facial expression looked as if he had eaten sothing disgusting.
After hearing the introductions from this man and his raven, Davis Feller's smile froze on his face.
His spread arms were also retracted at the fastest possible speed.
The chair he was sitting on was silently pushed away a bit by his feet, quietly increasing the distance between himself and Loren.
"No need... I just thought about it, and this decision was a bit rash. It's better if we maintain a purely gambler-to-gambler relationship."
"Oh, rember to co tonight. I have so things to attend to, so I'll be leaving first......"
After speaking quickly, Davis directly stood up and left. His steps were hurried, and the swing of his arms was almost frantic.
No wonder I felt this guy was dangerous the first ti we t. So it's the damned Nature Sect......
These guys are really like ghosts, everywhere......
Wait, is he here for ?
Probably not. His expression clearly froze for a mont when he heard my introduction. He's probably just a Superhuman traveling around......
Thinking this, a large portion of the worry and apprehension in Davis's heart subsided.
As long as he's not here for ......
As he walked, a smile reappeared on Davis's face.
My dear friends, you won't imagine that I found a Nature Sect lunatic to be your opponent.
I've prepared a huge surprise for you......
You absolutely must kill him......
You think you can hold onto your planets and refuse to let go just because you're nobles, and even dare to raise the price on ?! Just wait to die, you fools!!
Unconsciously, Davis's mood gradually improved again.
Using one trouble to solve another trouble—this is just perfect.
Two troubles, with a high probability, will both be solved at the sa ti.
As a mber of the Energy Departnt, which understands the Nature Sect best, Davis knew exactly how disgusting this organization was.
Although this organization is usually quite loose, because new mbers need a ntor to guide them into the sect...
During this process of the ntor guiding the disciple, an excessively deep bond might form between the two.
This often led to situations in the past where, after the Energy Departnt killed a low-tier Nature Sect mber, there was a chance of provoking a Legendary Druid......
And most of these Legendary Druids carried blessings from "Nature" or the "Gods."
What's most shaless is that Legendary Druids have the ability to cultivate powerful natural companions......
The natural companions of Legendary Druids are mostly Legendary Treants and Legendary Animals......
Their level of trouble is also considered the highest among many cults.
A Legendary Treant, under the spell enhancent of a Legendary Druid, could even withstand an antimatter annihilation missile head-on.
It could casually swing its branches and smash a powerful interstellar warship.
The energy shields of warships were as fragile as paper in front of these spell-enhanced Legendary Treants......
And so Great Druids, deeply favored by Nature, cultivated more than one such Legendary Treant......
The Energy Departnt had experienced such wars not just once in the past......
During those unbearable years, the combat power of the Energy Departnt even once surpassed that of the Federation Military......
Fortunately, later on, for so reason, the Nature Sect integrated into the Federation. Even the sect's previous leader joined the Federation Council.
Later, the Federation also enacted the "Natural Environnt Protection Act."
Since then, the Nature Sect, which had given the Energy Departnt massive headaches, gradually beca more subdued.
Recalling the terror of the Nature Sect in his mind, Davis Feller involuntarily shuddered.
Right, I still have several energy extraction projects that have already been initiated. I need to rush back and check if they comply with regulations.
Now that a Nature Sect mber is here, we can't cut corners like before.
Ti is truly a mysterious thing.
Who would have thought these crazy guys are now protected by Federation law......
Wait, that Las Loren... he wouldn't be here for those extraction projects that haven't been initiated yet, would he?!
No wonder he agreed to tonight's gambling match so quickly!
He also wants to et those nobles who own planets?!
Damn it, his acting is really good! He even tried to pretend not to know !!
He must have deliberately sat at that gambling table last night too, just to get close to !!
And with such incredible luck, he's most likely soone blessed by "Nature" or the "Gods"......
Right! Everything fits!
He must have co here guided by "Nature"!
He must have been guided by the legendary "Nature" to investigate the extraction projects!
Thinking this, Davis's footsteps sped up again as he hurriedly left this casino on Rabe Street.
He needed to rush back and urgently check those uninitiated extraction plans in his hands.
He absolutely!! Absolutely must not get entangled with soone from the Nature Sect!!
