1874 Gana’s Destruction

Han Sen carried Guna back to the ship and secured a spot for Meng’er .
Han Sen had thought Icebird Duke would be able to collect some Nobles during his absence, even if they were merely Barons . Things hadn’t turned out quite as he’d expected them to, though .
Too many factions were there with the desire to recruit the Gana . They all had the same idea that Han Sen did, too . Even if they could not recruit the Gana, no one wanted to return home empty-handed .
Many factions had tried securing the services of a Baron, and very few Barons would settle for the low aspirations of fledgling factions like Han Sen’s . They wanted big groups, and the big groups happily chose them . Even if they wanted to join the Rebate, it was far more likely they’d join the Gold Jade King instead .
Han Sen had been gone for a long time, but despite that, no Barons had been recruited .
Not long after, Dragon Lady brought Wang Yuhang along . The workers on the ship were very happy to see a Baron come to join them . But Dragon Lady requested that Wang Yuhang go along with her, and if not, she would not lend them her services .
If this was another planet at war, Barons couldn’t make such demands . But in these circumstances, if recruiters did not honor such requests, they wouldn’t have much success .
Han Sen made a speech that allowed them to stay . The workers complied, and the two were led on board .
“Icebird Duke, it is way too difficult to recruit people here . We should go to another planet . ” Han Sen hid Guna in his room, and he didn’t fancy staying around any longer than he had to .

“Okay . ” Icebird Duke knew this would happen . She had warned Han Sen before they even arrived . But instead of rubbing it in, she simply agreed with him .
When the ship started to fly off, many airships suddenly started to surround it .
Han Sen’s heart jumped in his chest, and he thought to himself, “Did something happen? Did they see me sneak Guna on-board? It looks like I can’t do bad things and expect to get away with it . I just want her help . It wasn’t as if I was going to harm her, though . Karma is biting me back pretty quickly…”
Han Sen kept fretting about potentially being exposed . And if this was the truth, he wondered how he might make it out alive .
Han Sen saw there were many Kao on the airship . So, Icebird Duke went out and spoke to their leader .
“Icebird Duke, what do they want?” Han Sen asked, after nervously waiting for her to return .
Icebird Duke gave Han Sen an invitation, and then she said, “I wasn’t expecting this, but the Gana are actually controlled by the Kao now . The Kao are looking to sell some . So, they have invited us to an auction . ”
“Really? How did they manage that?” Han Sen now knew it wasn’t just Guna who had been captured . The whole of the Gana populace had likely become prisoners .
“Judging from the current situation, I am afraid only the Kao can accomplish this with the Gana . The other factions could not try, because they were watched . If they struck, others were sure to know,” Icebird Duke said .

Those Kao are conducting auctions? They really think that after the auction is complete, they can take the money they amassed and leave?” Han Sen lifted his lip .
“Maybe they have brain damage? Or maybe they’ve got a powerful backer? Regardless, this is none of our business . After all, you lack sufficient funds to take part in such an auction . ” Icebird Duke knew the state of Han Sen’s finances .
Han Sen was practically broke . He hadn’t been producing enough xenogeneic materials and genes to sell . He had also been taking much of what they collected back to the sanctuary to feed his family and friends . Because of that, he had nothing for the auction .
“Maybe I should go, just so I can at least learn a thing or two?” Han Sen thought that if he left now, it would be too obvious .
If he was there for the Gana and didn’t even bother showing his face in an auction, his actions might be considered suspicious .
If the Gana had been defeated and were unable to protect themselves, no one would guess Guna was there, and so his secret would be safe . Han Sen thought he’d join the auction to at least keep himself from drawing suspicion .
Back in his room, Han Sen used hidden mode . He wouldn’t allow voices or videos to be sent outside his room . He also let Little Invisible jump off of Guna’s head .
The bed was colorful in the room, and that was where Guna appeared . Her body was cuffed to the bed, and her mouth was gagged . Only her tail could move .
“Let me go . If anyone finds out that I am here, you will be very dead . ” Guna looked fairly angry .

“Let me give you the bad news and the good news . The bad news? Well, all of the Gana have become prisoners . And tomorrow, they’ll all be auctioned off! The good news? You don’t have to go to this auction and face slavery . You will become mine,” Han Sen said .
“No way . You can’t lie to me!” Guna’s eyes were open wide .
“No way? Then how did you end up captured by Gia?” Han Sen brought out his invitation and showed it to her .
She was tied up, but her tail was free . With it, she opened the invitation and stared at it with wide eyes that refused to shut .
Those traitors!” Guna looked even angrier .
You are lucky that you aren’t being sold off . Follow me and I will treat you well . I promise that you won’t face a slave’s treatment . ” Han Sen smiled .
“What do you want from me?” Guna looked rather confused as she asked Han Sen .
“Nothing . I am only here to recruit . You should know the rules of the Rebate, though,” Han Sen said, seeming to switch subjects abruptly .
Guna looked at Han Sen and asked, “You are not a Rebate, though . You are an outsider, clearly . I think it is more than rare for an outsider to collect members for a faction . I think there are only a few who do this sort of thing . I don’t think you’re one of them . ”
“Outdated news, lady . I am Knife Queen’s student . She’s the leader of the bunny bunch . Of course I have permission to recruit people here . ” Han Sen smiled, and then went on to say, “When I boarded the ship, did you not see the Rebate around? Did you not see the respect and politeness they showed me?”
“Knife Queen has taken an outsider for a student?” Guna could hardly believe it .
“Believe it or not, it does not matter to me . ” After that, Han Sen lay down on the bed next to her .
“What are you doing?” Guna was shocked, and she wished to avoid him . But she was tied up on the bed, and she was unable to move .
“What else would I do aside from sleeping?” Han Sen was lying on the bed, and he looked at Guna as he spoke .
“Don’t you dare . I would rather kill myself . ” A shiver ran down Guna’s spine when her eyes met with Han Sen’s stare . She had heard a lot of races outside her own were quite… sick .
Han Sen smiled and grabbed her jaw .
