Global Era of Star trekking

Of course, it might have been the overwhelming dominance that Song Chi displayed, which completely panicked them.

Suppressing the terror in his heart, Sun Yao still shook his head with difficulty.

Song Chi's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in them. By now, he was completely certain that the tracking mark had been placed by the people before him, and considering the rapid increase in their strength over the past few years, the number of girls they had sold was probably not small.

With that thought, Song Chi's heart was devoid of any mercy.

With a slight wave of his right hand, the next second a cracking sound came from beside him.

The glamorous woman who had been struggling, now had her neck twisted in a grotesque manner, and was utterly silent.

Sun Yao's pupils shrunk drastically.

"You..."

It wasn't just Sun Yao, everyone in the entire hall was horrified at that moment, as they all clearly heard the sound of the neck breaking.

Song Chi, however, remained indifferent, continuing to stare at Sun Yao while activating his communication bracelet.

A few seconds later, the communication connected.

"Hello, Little Chi, what's the matter..."

"Song Shan, are you currently at the Torch Bureau? If so, bring some people to Wensheng Hotel. There's been an incident here."

On the other side of the communication, Shen Qing paused in his speech.

"What happened? I will bring people over immediately!"

"Mhm, I've killed a scumbag who was trafficking girls, no, probably more than one..."

"Okay, wait for us, we'll be there in ten minutes!"

Since Song Chi had the communication on loudspeaker, everyone present could hear it loud and clear.

Ignoring the constantly changing expressions of his former classmates, Song Chi kept his gaze fixed on Sun Yao.

Then, he said word by word:

"I'll ask you one more time, now, do you know who commanded the placement of that tracking mark?"

Speaking, he paused for a moment and then added another sentence.

"Remember, this is the last time!"

Hearing this emotionless speech, Sun Yao lost her previous defiance. Her complexion turned extremely pale, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably from fear.

She wanted to deny it, but thinking of the consequences of denial, she found the words "I don't know" couldn't leave her mouth.

A few seconds later, Song Chi ran out of patience. At his command, another Fire Peony Soldier Figurine stepped out and reached towards Sun Yao.

This action truly terrified Sun Yao, who no longer dared to hesitate. With her eyes tightly shut, she screamed out two words.

"It was me!"

With these two words spoken, the matter was settled.

...

Twenty minutes later, still on the fourth floor of Wensheng Hotel.

All the graduates had been dispersed, replaced by dozens of Torch Bureau personnel from Jiangyuan.

Shen Qing, who had risen to the rank of a Torch Bureau team leader, stood beside Song Chi and said in a low voice:

"Two blue components, two thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, how about that? I estimate that's the limit of what these people can compensate with..."

Hearing this, Song Chi still wasn't quite satisfied. Sure, for Wang Meng Jing that would be enough, but considering that Shen Qing had brought his entire team over, it was only fair not to let them come for nothing, both emotionally and logically.

His gaze shifted, looking towards Li Dong, who had been quiet the entire time, trying to distance himself from the whole affair.

Song Chi did not say much, but instead said two words:

"Not enough!"

Hearing this, Li Dong's brow furrowed, but seeing the group of Torch Bureau officers in uniforms behind Song Chi, he thought for a moment and suppressed his dissatisfaction.

After all, his role as the gang leader could hardly be concealed if investigated even slightly.

Then, a light flashed between his eyebrows, and a blue sphere of light flew out from it.

After this action, Song Chi finally seemed satisfied, and did not pursue the matter any further.

Through their trade, the other party provided three Blue Oddities and 2000 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin and was symbolically imprisoned in the Jiangyuan Torch Bureau's high security jail, only to be released a few days later.

However, the reality was that Shen Qing would soon silently kill all these people in the jail, including the First Rank Li Dong.

Trash who trafficked in human lives, how could they be let off so easily.

The reason for such a roundabout way, rather than simply killing them, was simple: it was to squeeze a layer of profit from these people.

Otherwise, if they showed their killing intent outright, these people would rather destroy all their assets in the impending collapse of the Ancestral Torch than give away even the slightest bit of it.

With that, the issue was finally perfectly resolved.

In the end, he handed over the three Blue Oddities and two thousand strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin to Shen Qing, allowing Shen Qing, the head of the Torch Bureau, to personally keep them safe until Wang Meng Jing and Lu Xue awoke, and then give them to them.

Though Li Dong and his companions were soon to die, handing over such a large sum of funds directly to Wang and Lu was too dangerous, like a child holding gold; it was better to have Shen Qing safeguard it for the time being.

Not far from Wen Sheng Hotel, in a well-known restaurant, Song Chi treated numerous Torch Bureau officials to a lavish meal.

In a private chat room inside the restaurant, Song Chi and Shen Qing talked for a long time. Upon learning that the Song Chi family was soon to leave White Tower Floating Land, Shen Qing's mood wasn't very good. Before departing, Song Chi said:

"Big Qing, pick one of those three Blue Oddities for yourself, give the other two to the girls once they awaken."

Seeing that Shen Qing was about to refuse, Song Chi added:

"Alright, no need to refuse. The girls will need your care in the future, consider it a guardianship fee!!"

Hearing this, Shen Qing did not object any further.

In fact, among the three Blue Components was indeed the Main Cannon Component he desperately needed. Since returning from the Buluo Civilization Ruins, the Qingfeng, with its Purple Energy Shield and a Blue Secondary Cannon, had greatly increased in combat power, now only lacking a Main Cannon.

...

After parting with Shen Qing, having gone through such an ordeal, Song Ting and her friends had no heart to shop anymore.

Especially after learning that their close friends, Wang Meng Jing and Lu Xue, were about to leave White Tower Floating Land, already shaken by the Tracking Mark incident, now they had become tearful wrecks.

After much comforting from Song Chi, who also warned them to diligently cultivate the Guidance Technique and, once they awakened, they could go to Shen Qing to retrieve their shipborne components and Floating Land Origin, he sent the two girls back home.

On the way back, Song Ting lacked her usual sprightliness. Either the shock of the Tracking Mark incident was too much for her, or perhaps Song Chi's previous unhesitant killing had been hard for her to accept. In any case, her tone was somewhat reserved:

"Brother, we're leaving in a few days, what about Yōran? Have you visited her yet?"

Song Chi could obviously hear the reservation in the little girl's voice but didn't take the initiative to open up about it.

They were soon to return to the family, a massive clan with nearly three thousand years of inheritance and intricate internal relationships, where the future was unpredictable. It was time for the girl to start facing the harsh realities of society; that would be good for her in the long run.

For eighteen years, her parents had protected her too well.

This wasn't good news. If they were to stay in White Tower Floating Land, that would be fine, but once they returned to the main family, many things would be out of their control, and it was inevitable that some disappointments would occur.

So, it was better to prepare her mentally sooner rather than later.

After pondering for a moment, he replied:

"Not yet, tomorrow, don't worry, I'll handle it properly!"

...

The weather today wasn't very nice, a continual drizzle shrouded everything, and White Tower Floating Land was enveloped in gloomy clouds, leaving the sky a muted gray.

In Jiangyuan City, one of the five districts of White Tower.

Standing inside the Cangqiong, Song Chi used his Communication Bracelet to contact his uncle.

Once the communication was connected, Song Chi spoke up immediately:

"Uncle, could I trouble you with something? I'd like to visit Jiangyuan's First Torch Academy!"

Hearing this, Song Shan didn't ask any further questions and simply ended the call.

Two minutes later, a message came through the Communication Bracelet.

"It's arranged, someone at the gate will guide you in!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

...

At the entrance of Jiangyuan's First Torch Academy.

Zhao Ling irritably kicked off her delicate high heels. As the assistant to the principal, personally receiving someone was something she detested the most.
