  2269. Two Halves of a Gold Coin (Part )

"Zane Consortium?" Qila walked aside, took a glass of wine from a slave servant, and took a sip. "They are wholeheartedly running their own scrap spaceship recycling business, and they are all in the Outer Rim Star Region. What does it have to do with us?"

"That's their superficial business. In fact, the Zane Group has been very active in the underworld in recent years. You just haven't been involved in this business." Dryden Voss's tone gradually became gloomy. "They have been extending their reach more and more in recent years. They are involved in spices, weapons, smuggling, and many other things."

"But they are in the Outer Rim, how can they form an alliance with us?" Qi'ra frowned.

"That's why they need our business network in the inner and core circles," Dryden Voss said. "Now it is said that Jabba the Hutt and Black Sun have formed an alliance with them, and it seems that they are planning to do something big."

"So what should we do? Reject him?" Qi'la asked. She never thought that Dryden Voss would come to her to talk about something that affected the future of the entire gang.

Although she has become a captain of Crimson Dawn, there are at least 10 people in Crimson Dawn who are higher in status than her, all of whom are bigwigs in charge of the business of a large star zone.

"You go talk to the people from the Zahn Group first and feel out their opinions. Then I can make a decision." Dryden Voss said calmly.

Qi La frowned. It seemed that they were going to let her go and test the waters? There was no way to reach an agreement without a word. Anyway, it wasn't him, Dryden Voss, who was going to die.

As if he could see her concerns, Dryden-Voss said, "Don't worry. As long as you don't reject them outright, they won't do anything to you. Besides, you're very charming. I have other plans for this matter. Just go."

Qila had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I will try to be cautious when interacting with them."

Dryden-Voss didn't say much, just waved his hand to indicate that she could go.

After Qi'ra left, Dryden Voss murmured to himself: "Tang Xiao was right, it was Darth Maul who came to visit... bastard..."

He kept pacing on the spot, looking very anxious.

Because it is very obvious that, referring to what Darth Maul did before in the Pike Gang and in Black Sun, he established his authority by killing people. Moreover, even if he expressed his willingness to join Darth Maul, Darth Maul, for the sake of safety, would choose to kill him and support someone else.

Darth Maul was once a Sith Lord. If he wanted to kill someone, he would most likely not be able to escape. Unless you have a huge army to protect you. But Dryden Voss was just a gang leader. Those gang thugs could collect protection fees, but it was impossible for them to risk their lives.

Therefore, whether he agreed or not, the end of death was already in front of him. He could only let Qi La deal with it first, and then hide himself.

  But... maybe there are other ways now. Dryden Voss began to think in another direction - the three giants of Sakria. More than ten years ago, Tang Xiao came to the planet Corellia and told him and Lady Psi a story about the Midpoint Station. According to this story, the Midpoint Station is actually a super weapon built by the Kilik Swarm that can emit super gravitational waves and move any star in the Milky Way. And when the Midpoint Station is fully powered, even black holes can be moved!

In order to find out the secret of this super weapon, Dryden Voss has been trying to contact the three giants of Sakria based on Tang Xiao's instructions.

The Sakorian Big Three is a very secretive organization in the Corellian trade world. It has a strong influence on the Corellian galaxy and more than 1000 galaxies involved in a long galaxy corridor. If the Corellian Engineering Company is the king of the Corellian trade world, the Sakorian Big Three is the overlord in the dark.

Most importantly, according to Tang Xiao’s suggestion, the three giants of Sakria are also studying the central station.

Now, although there is no progress in the matter of the midpoint station, Bloody Dawn has successfully established a connection with the three giants of Sakria. So now, if we ask for help from them, there may be a way to compete with the Zahn Consortium.

Although Tang Xiao would definitely help him, he couldn't intervene in this matter. The Principality of Dawn couldn't reach the core circle at all. So in the final analysis, he was the only one he could rely on.

Dryden Voss thought for a while, turned around and gave an order. His luxury spaceship, Morning Light, immediately ignited and took off, flying towards outer space.

Not far from the ground, Qila, who was riding a hoverbike, turned around and looked at the Morning Light spaceship taking off into the sky with a stern look.

She subconsciously put her hand on the ancient gold coin hanging on her chest and rubbed it gently, as if it could give her strength. More than ten years ago, when the Clone Wars were in full swing, she and her partner Han Solo, who were still struggling to survive in the dark alleys of Corellia, met the man who changed their lives.

At that time, she and Han Solo stole the mysterious man's wallet and found a large amount of credit ingots and a metal hilt. Then they were targeted by another group of thugs, and the metal hilt suddenly activated itself, turning out to be a lightsaber! Then the lightsaber controlled Qi'ra's body and took her to kill those thugs easily.

This was also the first time Qila killed someone in his life.

The man told Qila to remember this feeling, the feeling of killing someone... Qila remembered it, and countless times after that, even when faced with the most dangerous situations, she remained calm and faced them bravely.

At the same time, the man gave Qira and Han Solo one and a half gold coin each. He told Qira that if the two halves of the gold coin were combined into one, he would fulfill one of their wishes.

Now it seems that this condition is a trap. Because it means that she and Han Solo can only fulfill one wish. This also means that if they want to escape the cage of Corellia, this gold coin can only save one of them.

Qi'ra had no doubt that the man would do so, for example, if she asked for a ship, then the man would definitely give them a single-person ship and forbid another person to ride.

  That person seemed to be expecting that the gold coin would allow the two of them to kill each other and enjoy it. Qi'ra and Han Solo swore that they would never let him do that!

Therefore, Qi'ra and Han Solo simply put away their half gold coins and hung them around their necks.
