The capital was actually just a general term; it was more accurate to call it a capital ring. That was because twenty-three habitable planets, as well as seven militarized planets, were all located in the Venal galaxy and made up what was known as the capital.

Earth was merely the only habitable planet in the Milky Way, while the Venal galaxy had a total of fifty-one planets, with twenty-nine of them being habitable. It was simply God’s gift to mankind.

Every single planet had its set of coordinates. Venal-17 was where the Alliance Congress, Alliance Parliament, and Supreme Court; in fact, most government agencies were based on this planet.

Venal-20 was the Alliance’s commercial hub, filled with pretty much the headquarters of all the heavyweight banks, securities firms, and financial companies.

Venal-36 was the main camp of the Alliance army, where the general staff center of operations, naval headquarters, equipment depot, and other military organizations were based.

It was said that mankind originated from the Venal galaxy many centuries ago. It was historically the place where the first humans had learned to stand on their two feet, use tools, and created their respective language.

Due to how long ago this was, there was no way to prove the validity of the theory, but no one could deny the prosperity of the Venal galaxy.

Xia Fei had yet to enter the capital ring, but he was already awestruck at the view that greeted him. Countless spaceships were on the other side of the porthole, and even further was a sea of battleships.

Xia Fei agreed with his observation. Using silver-rank Adjudicator as guards was indeed a little too extravagant. As an apprentice Adjudicator, he would not even qualify as a help here in the headquarters.

The moment he presented his official ID and showed the letter he was requested to give to Thuram, the guard took out a phone. A curly-haired, young man bearing a silver 5-star badge soon came walking out from within the castle.

“Hello, I am the personal secretary of department head Thuram. Are you Xia Fei?” The curly-haired young man extended his hand and smiled in greeting at Xia Fei.

“Department head?” Xia Fei was somewhat puzzled, shaking the person’s hand. “Yes, I am Xia Fei. Old man Qin Mang asked me to pass this letter to department head Thuram.”

The curly-haired man was slightly taken aback, his eyes revealing some degree of shock by how casual Xia Fei had referred to Qin Mang as ‘old man’. He was quite flabbergasted by it, and his gaze on Xia Fei turned respectful.

“Please follow me.”

What greeted his eyes upon entering the place was a large garden, with four castles to his left and right. Right in the middle was a five-story quaint building. This one at the center was the largest out of all the structures within, and the curly-haired young man brought Xia Fei directly to it.

The old castle was dimly lit, and several portraits of men from different eras hung on the walls. From the description text, Xia Fei learned that these were all elite Adjudicators who had once made great contributions to the Union, and each of them had since passed.

Taking the stairs to the fifth floor and going left to reach Thuram’s office, the curly-haired, young man first got Xia Fei to wait outside as he went in alone to report.

Several minutes later, Xia Fei was invited into the office, and he saw a man, who looked to be in his seventies, propping his chin on his two hands, his eyes staring right at Xia Fei. This man was wearing the Adjudicator Union’s uniform, a transparent badge on his chest.

‘Diamond-rank Adjudicator!’ Xia Fei exclaimed in his heart. The transparent badge represented the highest rank in the Union. It seemed that this elderly man was Thuram. To think Qin Mang’s friend was actually a diamond-rank Adjudicator; Xia Fei was quite surprised at this realization, though he did not reveal any of these emotions outwardly and still maintained his calm and placid countenance.

Though he was getting on in years, Thuram’s two eyes were still as sharp as an eagle’s. His piercing gaze shot forth as a cold killing intent was directed at Xia Fei.

“Killing intent!” Xia Fei was completely baffled on why this calm and collected department head would show such a killing intent toward him.

His finger hovered over his spatial ring. No matter who he was up against, no matter their goal, that icy-cold killing intent had already stirred Xia Fei’s vigilance. Thuram might be very powerful, but Xia Fei was not one to give up without a fight. As long as this other person made any peculiar move, Celestial Moon would immediately be unsheathed without any hesitation.

This strange atmosphere between the two men, who were seven or eight meters away from each other, continued for some time. Thuram wielded his gaze as a weapon, which he unleashed on Xia Fei, an unseen challenge unfolded soundlessly. That curly-haired, young man at the side sighed helplessly, shaking his head as he thought to himself, ‘Oh, dear. Looks like the department head’s old habit is rearing its ugly head again.”

Xia Fei, who had seen plenty of death in that year he was on Heritage Planet, had experienced all kinds of killing aura. Though Thuram’s killing intent was strong, it was still within realms that Xia Fei could bear; both his heart and mind were unfazed by this assault.

Thuram was slightly amazed, and the more Xia Fei defied him strongly, the more it roused his long, silent warrior’s heart.

“Hmph!” Thuram coldly harrumphed, his figure suddenly moving.

Leaping up high like a hawk striking from the skies, Thuram pounced right at Xia Fei.

Conversely, Xia Fei made his move right where he stood.
