Xia Fei was quiet for a long time. Old Porter was probably doing something very dangerous and did not have much confidence that he could make it out alive, or else he would not have informed Windchime to tell him not to come anymore, though she still ended up contacting Xia Fei due to her worry for Old Porter’s safety.

“Do you know where Uncle Porter has gone to?” Xia Fei asked. “I’ll only be able to search for him if I know where he went; finding someone in the vast expanse of space is akin to fishing for a needle in the ocean.”

Windchime nodded. “I wouldn’t have so urgently sought you if I didn’t know where he went. When Porter left me the method of contacting you, I thought that you’re one of his former colleagues or an old friend. I didn’t expect you to be so young… If I knew this, I would’ve listened to Porter and wouldn’t have dragged you into this.”

Windchime did not seem to regard the young Xia Fei as any sort of help, which was why her words were teeming with trepidation and doubt.

Xia Fei smiled. “Since I’m already here, why don’t you tell me Uncle Porter’s destination; perhaps I can be of some help.”

Windchime hesitated for a bit before furrowing her brows and saying, “When I was helping clean his room, I sneaked a peek at Porter’s personal computer once and saw a large star map, which has plenty of red and green dots on; I had it copied into my own device.”

With that, Windchime took out an old-fashioned tablet. Xia Fei recalled that Old Porter enjoyed using the same model of computer.

Getting up to his feet, Xia Fei said, “I’ll be bringing this computer along, as well as Old Porter’s communication host.”

“You’re going to look for him?” Windchime was surprised. Anyone could tell Old Porter had gone to an extremely dangerous place. She could not help but feel somewhat touched yet also guilty with Xia Fei showing readiness to search for Porter.

Windchime still had not gone off to search for Porter after mulling it many times over, yet Xia Fei, this man who was much younger than she was, did not even spend too long in considering everything before he made his decision. Windchime could not help but feel a bit ashamed.

“I’ll join you too,” Windchime said.

Xia Fei smiled. “There’s no need for the two of us to take this risk. Besides, you’ll just be a burden if you tag along.”

Xia Fei did not even give her proposal a moment’s thought before he rejected it, inadvertently not leaving her a bit of face. This was not because Xia Fei did not care for Porter’s old flame but because this matter was indeed quite dangerous, so he needed to sever this idea of hers as soon as possible.

…

After some time, Xia Fei returned to his Tomahawk and tossed that loess dirtied blanket onto the ground before striding off to the command deck

“Supergravity zones are no joke. Even if your Tomahawk is able to survive in such condition, it’s hard to guarantee that you can make it back unscathed,” cautioned Phantom somewhat worriedly.

“I understand that. Actually, I don’t intend to recklessly charge in either. Didn’t old man Qin Mang give us the address of his disciple? Let’s go look for him first; make off with some of the required equipment from his hands before we set off on this search. Besides, we’ve yet to resolve the problem pertaining to Harris,” said Xia Fei even as he activated the warship’s autopilot system and set a flight path.

…

*Whoosh!*

The Tomahawk rapidly ascended and flew off toward its next destination.

Harris had been very quiet these last two days, staying in his cabin all by himself, his face buried in his computer, doing god knows what. Occasionally, he would ask Xia Fei many very baffling questions, such as what was Xia Fei’s resting heart rate, his heart rate during battle, his hemoglobin concentration, et cetera.

Xia Fei spoke to him a few times, and Harris told him the next step of his research was data collection. Crazy be as crazy do, Xia Fei had completely let him off the hook, yet Harris had already started on his research, completely unfazed by Xia Fei’s threat. Nothing else really mattered as long as he could advance his research.

Xia Fei needed to bear with everything since he had already decided to keep this mad scientist for himself, so he had no choice but to answer all his questions, though he was wondering just how he could send him back to Earth and save himself from having this fly buzzing all around him incessantly.

On the evening of the second day, the Tomahawk finally arrived at the Scarlet Volcano Mountain Military Base.

Xia Fei was very surprised to learn through the other party from the military base that Qin Mang’s disciple Yawei was actually the base commander. It must be stated that the base serviced the combined fleet that included a Caldarian Chimera-class carrier and a Mittal Naglfar-class dreadnought. This base was without a doubt one of the major forces here in the Death Trio Star Region.

“Even Qin Mang’s disciple is a commander?” Phantom expressed in disbelief. “That means Qin Mang must be even more powerful then.”
