Colonial Suit

While still in mid-air, Blood瞳 slightly twisted his waist and appeared directly in a corner of the dance floor below. The entire process was as fast as lightning and as light as a cat. The transition between light and shadow was so seamless that no one noticed.

However, this was nothing for him, who had already entered the Meteor rank. Due to his involvement in the X35 doomsday hunt, he was extremely skilled at stealth. Furthermore, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds after joining the Cosmic Mercenaries. Right now, if he really wanted to hide, even warriors of the same rank might not be able to detect him, let alone the ordinary people below.

However, as he emerged from stealth and walked out of the corner openly, Cowboy Five noticed him immediately.

Across a distance of nearly a hundred meters, Blood瞳 could clearly see his eyes widen instantly, his whole body frozen in place. He looked as stiff as a wooden or clay sculpture.

Blood瞳 twitched the corner of his mouth and slowly walked over. He reached out and took the wine glass from his hand.

"Let's go, maybe we should talk."

Cowboy Five didn't speak, but his eyes revealed surprise and fear. After a moment of silence, he obediently followed Blood瞳's footsteps.

The two came to a lounge on the first floor of the dance hall and sat down. A maid immediately came to greet them.

"Whiskey," Blood瞳 said to the maid, then looked up at Cowboy Five. "And you?"

"Oh, I... a Martini," Cowboy Five replied after a moment of愣住.

The maid gracefully withdrew and soon brought the drinks they had ordered. Watching the maid flutter away, Cowboy Five finally regained his senses and looked at Blood瞳 in disbelief.

"You... how are you here?"

"I think that's what I should be asking," Blood瞳 smiled slightly, drawing circles on the coffee table in front of him. "If I remember correctly, this isn't the Death Mercenaries' sovereign territory, is it?"

Every force in the universe has its own sovereign territory, and the Death Mercenaries are no exception. Although they are not as powerful as the Cosmic Mercenaries, with their vast territories, they still enjoy everything a normal person should have in their own sovereign territory, a superior status, generous benefits, and so on.

However, outside of their sovereign territory, Death Mercenaries must play the role of cosmic fugitives. In the vast territories controlled by the Cosmic Mercenaries, they are unwelcome and will be monitored or even expelled if discovered.

Cowboy Five is a Death Mercenary, so his presence here is very unusual.

Seeing the playful look in Blood瞳's eyes, Cowboy Five suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Only now did he remember that he and the man before him were enemies, and that the other party was the culprit who destroyed his original mercenary团.

He hadn't lasted until the end of that battle, but after he escaped, he hadn't heard any news of his teammates for more than a month. Now that he saw Blood瞳's figure again, how could he not know their fate?

Thinking of this, Cowboy Five's face turned even paler. He swallowed hard and cautiously replied, "I... I was originally from H3."

"Oh?" Blood瞳 was a little surprised. He hadn't expected that answer. But thinking about it, it made sense. Although Death Mercenaries roamed the universe, everyone had to have a hometown. Cowboy Five was no exception.

However, the fact that he came from the Fifth World made Blood瞳 very envious. Compared to his own background, Cowboy Five was much happier.

But that still didn't explain his reason for approaching Carrie earlier.

In the lounge, Blood瞳 quietly watched Cowboy Five, neither speaking nor leaving. Under his calm gaze, the atmosphere in the room gradually solidified, eventually becoming like a heavy stone pressing on Cowboy Five's heart.

Cowboy Five's face grew paler and paler, and he was soon drenched in cold sweat.

In this almost suffocating atmosphere, he even found it difficult to breathe. After a while, he finally couldn't help but raise his hands.

"Okay... I'll talk."

"I'm not only a native here, but also a distant relative of the Romier family. That Miss Carrie outside is actually the daughter of an aunt who is related to me by who-knows-how-many degrees," Cowboy Five took a breath and downed the Martini in his hand in one gulp. Then, he exhaled a breath of alcohol.

"Your aunt... Carrie?" Blood瞳's eyes widened. This relationship was too unexpected.

"So, you're also one of the Romier family's heirs."

"The thirty-seven thousand five hundred and forty-second," Cowboy Five chuckled. "You should know that it's practically the same as not being one at all."

"Indeed... it is," Blood瞳 said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. But in just a moment, his gaze focused. "Then, this time you came to H3..."

"You guessed right," Cowboy Five replied listlessly. "It's for her. Or rather, to prevent her from appearing..."

"Your aunt sent you?" Blood瞳 directly grasped the key point.

"Yes," Cowboy Five nodded. "She arranged a wonderful encounter for this Miss Carrie. And I'm the other half of this encounter. If nothing goes wrong, I'll coincidentally bump into her in a while, then get to know her and accompany her on a tour of H3 as her guide."

"That's a very good arrangement," Blood瞳 rubbed his chin and smiled slightly.

His aunt's arrangement was really interesting. Cowboy Five was originally a native of H3, so he was perfectly suited to be a guide. And judging from Cowboy Five's appearance, he was obviously an experienced playboy. He and Carrie, who had a lascivious private life, were a perfect match, made in heaven. Even without thinking about it, one could imagine what the outcome would be if the always lascivious Carrie met the handsome, unrestrained, and unconventional Cowboy Five.

Sure enough, a mother knows her daughter best...

Blood瞳 picked up his wine glass and took a light sip. A faint smile flashed in his eyes.

However, Cowboy Five's aunt probably didn't expect that her daughter had already grown up. Grown up to the point where even she couldn't fathom her. And she also had himself by her side.

Looking at Cowboy Five's dejected expression, the corners of Blood瞳's mouth curled up slightly. He didn't hide anything and said bluntly,

"I am now Carrie's bodyguard."

"Ah..." Cowboy Five愣住. He lowered his head again and sighed. "As expected..."

"I felt something was wrong as soon as I saw you. I guessed right. I didn't expect Carrie to have this trick up her sleeve. Has she already submitted a mission request to the Cosmic Mercenaries?"

"No... she hasn't had time yet," Blood瞳 poured himself another glass of wine and swirled it in his hand. "I only met her by chance. But now..."

Blood瞳 didn't continue, but Cowboy Five certainly understood his meaning. What else was there to say now that he had become Miss Carrie's bodyguard?

"I knew it... coming back this time was a mistake. I should have known better than to come back," Cowboy Five muttered dejectedly, then stood up, walked to the bar in the corner, grabbed a bottle of wine, and began to drink heavily.

Watching him gulp down the wine, a smile rose in Blood瞳's eyes.

"Actually, you don't need to be so沮丧. We're not enemies right now, and I don't plan to stop you."

"Cough..." Cowboy Five spat out a mouthful of wine and coughed violently. While coughing, he stared wide-eyed at Blood瞳 in disbelief. "You, you..."

"Don't look at me like that," Blood瞳 said calmly. His gaze returned to the amber-colored wine glass in his hand. "I only met you by chance. I don't know anything about what you want to do or what you want to do."

"You... what exactly do you want?" Cowboy Five finally stopped coughing. He stared intently at Blood瞳.

He didn't believe for a second that Blood瞳 would be so easy to talk to. After the last battle with Blood瞳, he knew exactly what kind of person Blood瞳 was! Although he hadn't directly fought with Blood瞳, judging from Robbie's ruthlessness and the fact that none of his companions had reappeared afterward, the man before him was even more dangerous than his former captain. His strength was even greater.

Don't forget that no matter how much the universe changes, there is only one law among cosmic warriors... and that is the law of the jungle!! It's the naked law of the jungle!

What's more, his identity was still that of a Death Mercenary? What reason did Blood瞳 have to let him go?

Taking a deep breath, Cowboy Five desperately suppressed the surprise in his heart. He tried to ask in a steady voice, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to get, or rather, what do you want me to do?"

"Actually, it's nothing," Blood瞳 picked up his wine glass and took a small sip. Then, he looked up at the mural on the opposite wall. His tone was very飘忽. "I'm just too lazy to bother with you. You can continue to do what you want to do, and I won't disturb you."

"Then what if I want to kill someone?" Cowboy Five's eyes lit up and he said tentatively.

"That's definitely not allowed," Blood瞳 replied decisively. He suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing into Cowboy Five's heart like a sharp sword. "At least, not before getting my permission! And at some point, you have to do the opposite."

"So... that's how it is," Cowboy Five twitched the corner of his mouth and finally revealed a bitter smile.

Now that it had been said to this extent, he would be a fool if he didn't understand Blood瞳's meaning.

To put it bluntly, this guy was thinking the same thing as his aunt, wanting to make himself a pawn. And the most crucial one. But what Cowboy Five didn't understand was that his aunt wanted him to become a pawn for the Romick family's inheritance, but what was Blood瞳 after?

Could it be that he was also a member of the Romick family?

"Don't overthink it, I have nothing to do with the Romick family," Blood瞳 said lightly, as if seeing through Cowboy Five's疑'惑'. At the same time, he got up and walked towards the door.

"As for why, you don't need to know. Anyway, this matter is only beneficial to you, not harmful."

After speaking, Blood瞳 walked out of the room, leaving Cowboy Five standing呆滞 in the room...
