I Just Wanted to Be a Galactic Hunter—Why Am I on the Wanted List?-Chapter 222: Arrival
After clarifying Loren's destination.
This small aircraft began to slowly ascend under Hunter Kuraya's skilled operation, flying towards a direction on the outskirts of Radiant Flow Main City, trailing a long plume of exhaust.
Inside the aircraft's cockpit, both men maintained a certain silence.
Sensing the flight speed of the small aircraft beneath him, a faint smile touched the corner of Loren's mouth.
"Doctor, forgive my bluntness, but you seem quite afraid of me?" Loren asked softly.
Upon hearing this, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Hunter Kuraya's forehead.
"Mr. Loren, I'm just a small fry. Constantly getting involved with a big shot like you, I'm afraid I'll die in a planned 'accident' one of these days..."
After hearing the doctor's reply, Loren gave a silent nod and chose not to continue the conversation.
20 minutes later.
The small aircraft landed within a large logistics distribution center.
It was the very same large logistics distribution center where Loren had landed when he first arrived in the Radiant Flow Star Domain.
This time, without any prompting, Loren quite expertly changed into clothes labeled "Ship Mechanic."
Meanwhile, Hunter Kuraya, after pulling out his communicator to contact the smuggling organization, gave Loren a ship designation number:
"Cargo Ship FA-23."
Upon learning the cargo ship he was to board, Loren reached out, pulled open the small aircraft's hatch, and jumped directly down.
"Doctor, I'm very satisfied with the service you provided. Perhaps we'll meet again." Loren liked this feeling of simplicity and tight security.
Still aboard the small aircraft, Hunter Kuraya's mouth immediately turned down at the corners upon hearing Loren's farewell.
No, it's best if we never meet again...
After Loren left, Hunter Kuraya patiently waited another 10 minutes.
Estimating that Loren had already boarded the smuggler cargo ship, he used his communicator again to contact the smuggling organization's flight dispatcher.
"Beastkin Star Domain, one mechanic." Hunter Kuraya's tone was remarkably calm.
"Cargo Ship FX-11." The answer he wanted came through the communicator in his hand.
After hanging up, Hunter Kuraya stared blankly at the communicator in his hand, lost in thought.
After a long silence, he dialed another number:
"Hey, sweetheart, let's break up."
After saying this, he hung up the communicator without waiting for any response.
Once the call ended, he directly crushed his own communicator in his hand.
Only physical destruction leaves no traces and can't be tracked...
Next, he quickly changed into a set of mechanic's clothes and set up a delayed-explosion bomb in the small aircraft's cockpit.
Opening the hatch, he walked towards the location of Cargo Ship FX-11...
"Goodbye, Radiant Flow Star Domain."
Before boarding the ship, he turned around and looked up at the night sky over Radiant Flow Main City, mentally cursing Loren countless times.
Damn you, Loren, you've forced me to flee again!!
You, who aren't even wanted by the Federation, going to the Central Star Domain—why not take a legitimate passenger ship?! Why a smuggler ship!
Are you going to the Central Star Domain to do something shady, damn it...
In fact, upon learning Loren's destination, Hunter Kuraya had reaffirmed his decision to flee.
Although he didn't know what Loren was going to the Central Star Domain for, years of experience in the Gray Zone told him:
When a big shot chooses to hide himself, he's probably about to do something very, very big...
As the one who helped Loren sneak into the Central Star Domain, he would likely get caught in the crossfire...
Thinking this, he resolutely turned and boarded the cargo ship!
"To hell with it! I'll hide for a few decades! No one will find me!"
Meanwhile, on another cargo ship a kilometer away, Loren, who appeared to be meditating with closed eyes in the ship's cargo hold, revealed a subtle smile at this moment.
Very sharp, Doctor. I have a feeling this won't be the last time we meet...
Loren, who had been monitoring the other with his mental power, quietly withdrew the mental energy he had secretly extended.
What a pity. It seems he won't do anything unnecessary...
Sitting alone in the cargo hold, Loren, after withdrawing his mental power, began deep meditation.
Unlike the last time he took a smuggler ship, this time, Loren was the only stowaway in the cargo hold.
Undisturbed, he peacefully began his meditation.
After all, most sane people wouldn't stow away from the Radiant Flow Star Domain to the Central Star Domain.
Unless they had ulterior motives for going to the Central Star Domain...
The Central Star Domain was the core of the entire Federation, in every sense of the word.
It was also the place where the Federation's power was strongest.
It housed the headquarters of various Federation departments, such as the Security Bureau, the Energy Department, the military...
And most importantly, within the Central Star Domain was the Federation's highest authority—the Federation Council.
Over the years, Loren's understanding of the Federation Council was that it housed the Federation's most powerful Superhumans...
In fact, whether the term "Superhuman" could even describe those Federation Councilors was questionable...
If the Empire's ruler was called the "God of Gods," then as a power that had rivaled the Empire for so many years...
The "Federation Councilors," being the strongest group within the Federation, what was their Tier?
Loren had a rough guess about the answer to this question: "They are a bunch who can rival the Gods..."
"The former, nominal leader of the Nature Sect," and "the Chief who founded the Interstellar Hunter Association."
These were the two Federation Councilors Loren knew of, and they were at least Demigod Tier, likely even higher...
Federal Calendar 7708, November 7th, evening.
Central Star Domain, central city of Habitable Planet 78, a large logistics distribution center.
A rather ordinary cargo ship landed here.
The large cargo ship designated "Cargo Ship FA-23" opened its hatch. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
After the hatch opened, a tall mechanic slowly walked out...
Soon, a hover shuttle bus stopped in front of this mechanic.
The tall mechanic stepped aboard...
The hover shuttle bus's engine started, and it drove out of the large logistics distribution center.
In the gradually darkening night, the hover shuttle bus drove into a spacious underground parking garage.
