Sure enough, in the conversation that followed, he ostentatiously introduced himself, saying he was a mid-level official at a well-known casino affiliated with the Dark Force Group.
From his tone, being able to enter this Dark Group was evidently sothing to be imnsely proud of.
Corey, hearing he was soone from a casino, beca noticeably more cautious in his conversation, showing extra respect to the man full of danger and aggression.
Jiang Cheng speculated that the Dark Group this aggressive man belonged to must have significant power on the Harry Satellite, which Corey was clearly aware of, so even as a local, he dared not provoke him.
With Corey's flattery, the man's words grew increasingly arrogant, as if the Harry Planet was almost his alone if not for his ability to maintain a semblance of restraint.
The two engaged in an enthusiastic conversation, leaving Jiang Cheng and Yanran aside.
This suited the two of them just fine.
After this minor episode, Jiang Cheng paid extra attention to the other passengers on the spaceship, realizing that many carried the aura of the Dark World.
There were about three or four people dressed well and behaving politely, seemingly on a business trip to Harry Planet.
Ti reached, and the spaceship quickly took off.
During this brief journey, the spaceship ca alive like a circus.
So took out alcoholic beverages, passing them around and shouting boisterously; others brought out gambling items, and soon enough, Zhou Country sat atop soone, while shouts and laughter occasionally erupted from the crowd.
But the most heated conflict was between the two fighting individuals.
These two never got along since they boarded the spaceship.
As soon as they sat down, they began arguing, initially accusing each other of wrongs, but it was clear that such words couldn't vent their anger. So insults crept into their conversation, inevitably leading to a physical confrontation.
The argunt was loud, and despite Jiang Cheng and Yanran not wanting to listen, the noise reached their ears.
The reason for their conflict was simple: one blocked the other's path while boarding the spaceship.
Such trivial circumstances escalated from argunts to insults to a brawl.
This amused the other passengers greatly; they divided into two factions, cheering for the individuals and yelling passionately as if the fighters were close relatives or friends.
The scuffle quickly concluded, leaving one man bloody-faced, staggering to the ground.
The victor, like a champion in the ring, raised his fists triumphantly, as if basking in imnse glory.
The fight ended so rapidly that the spectators were visibly dissatisfied; one onlooker pulled a Cosmic Coin from his pocket, waving it at the defeated man on the ground, enticing him to keep fighting irrespective of the outco in exchange for the money.
The defeated man wobbly stood up, compelled by either money or honor, enduring the laughter from the spectators, he had to keep fighting.
Once again, he fell to the ground.
The money-waver cursed profanely, belittling the defeated man.
In the end, he pulled a dagger from his waist, forcefully thrusting it into the loser's hand, pulling him up from the ground, and pushing him towards his opponent.
Evidently, his opponent grew nervous.
The spectators held their breath, their eyes gleaming with excitent, eagerly anticipating a bloody outco.
As long as they themselves weren't hard, they didn't care who bled; they reveled in it.
Jiang Cheng couldn't stand by and watch any longer, he balled a napkin into a small paper wad, flicking it towards the instigator.
On the spaceship to Harry Planet, a fight broke out, quickly escalating towards chaos with the encouragent of a provocateur; Jiang Cheng detested this instigator imnsely, disregarding others' lives as re entertainnt.
Jiang Cheng tily intervened, subtly punishing the instigator.
Though the paper wad was soft, in Jiang Cheng's hands, it transford hugely in impact.
The gleeful, wide-eyed instigator awaited the grueso showdown, only for a small paper wad to inexplicably hit his nose, eliciting a cry as blood poured from his nostrils.
Now, attention shifted entirely onto him.
This sudden mishap made the instigator appear particularly pathetic. Holding his bleeding nose, he looked around wildly for the culprit.
Until the spaceship landed, he couldn't find the assailant, leaving despondently with a bleeding nose.
Exiting the spaceship's platform, Jiang Cheng and Yanran were encircled by several individuals.
Although these people wore uniforms, looking like officials, from their deanor and actions, they were indistinguishable from people of the Dark World.
ID cards!
"What brings you to Harry Planet?"
The group of people asked, chattering.
Jiang Cheng didn't respond, and seeing her teacher remain silent, Yanran also stayed quiet.
The leader barked impatiently, "No ID card?" He gestured for his n to prepare for a body search: "Search them; anyone without ID is no good; they're surely carrying contraband."
His gaze shifted to Yanran standing beside Jiang Cheng, clearly stunned by her beauty; after a few monts, he changed his mind: "Search the man, I'll search the woman."
His subordinates laughed knowingly, understanding their officer's intentions.
Yet, they didn't follow orders to search Jiang Cheng; they stood by, waiting to watch a show.
For these two from an Extraterrestrial Planet, if they were sensible, they'd suffer only temporary humiliation; if not, well, they'd find Harry Planet a hellish place!
Their expectant eyes followed their leader's fingers, anticipating the scene they longed to see.
To their slight surprise, the young, pretty alien woman extended her hand towards their leader's outstretched hand.
Did she want to shake hands?
However, they knew their leader's intentions were far from re handshaking with this woman.
