Ember's expression changed . He glanced at the expressions of all the Silvers, and the horror in their eyes did not look like they were faking it . They really did not know the code word .
His composure almost collapsed . Luckily, he thought of another possibility in time .
"Do you have any other friends?"
The Silvers did not dare to not answer . One of them said while trembling, "The—there were originally seventeen of us, but two people were thrown into the universe during the trip here . They are already dead . "
The carrier died and was thrown into the universe?
The DarkStar people were stunned, not knowing what to do . The carrier's dried corpse could have floated anywhere by then . There was no way they could find it .
Ember was stunned as well, but suddenly, he thought of something . The slave traders definitely would have searched through the carrier's clothes . If the carrier did not hide the Secret Message Bead properly, the slave traders might have taken it . There was still a chance!
However, this would mean that they had rescued the Silvers for nothing, and they were targeted by Floating Dragon Island… Ember's face froze . He felt miserable .
If they had known earlier, they would have gone to find the slave trader first, but before this, he did not know what happened to the carrier . Rescuing the Silvers first was a logical assumption for their next act . The carrier belonged to a partner organization, and after they retrieved the Secret Message Bead, they would rescue him if they could . If they could not, they would just kill him, but now this step was skipped . That damn slave trader had completed their job, but the bead was lost . Furthermore, Ember initially only wanted to steal the people secretly . All this commotion was an accident .
In conclusion, he was extremely unlucky!
Truly frustrated, Ember waved his hand, and countless dust shot out from the ground, turning into a silk-like curtain, shrouding the aircraft chasing them, blocking its vision . This layer of dense black dust was made of graphite, so the image from the detection device immediately became twisted and blurry . The aircraft was blinded, and it hurriedly slowed down .
"I'll chase, Herlous, but don't follow me . He can kill you easily . " Han Xiao stopped Herlous from jumping out of the ship . He did not want this cadre that he had spent so much effort obtaining to be killed, so he flew out alone .

Breaking through the graphite barrier, Han Xiao focused and looked over . Then suddenly, he was a little stunned .
Ember and his people had fled with their powers and vanished without a trace, only leaving the Silvers behind, who were hugging each other while shivering . They were meaningless to Ember now, so they had been abandoned . Not only did that make it easier for them to escape, but it would also calm the Dragon Guards down .
At this time, the graphite barrier was dismissed and fell onto the ground . This meant that Ember was already far away, and the aircraft had left the area of his power .
"He ran so fast . " Herlous was surprised . As he was about to make the order of continuing the chase, Han Xiao suddenly raised his hand, stopped him, and said, "Don't chase anymore . No point . "
"Why? Is it okay to let them escape?"
"Just say we can't catch them . " Han Xiao's eyes sparkled . "Didn't you guys notice? These brutes have really helped us!"
They were stunned before looking over at where Han Xiao was pointing at to see the Silvers on the ground . Then, they realized, and surprise appeared on their faces .
That's right! Our hiring mission is to rescue the Silvers!
After so many things, the Silvers had finally been rescued in a strange way . Furthermore, they were in Han Xiao's hands . Han Xiao was not going to let go of this opportunity . The difficult part of rescuing the Silvers was Horlaide, and this part had been solved just like that . He almost wanted to thank DarkStar .
Han Xiao's words were even more useful than the Guard Captain Wilsander . They all listened to him and stopped the chase . Very soon, the other players came in aircrafts, protecting the Silvers again .
Wilsander requested for communication . "The other brutes are all captured . The people you're chasing are the only ones left . How's it going?"

Han Xiao shook his head . "They escaped . There was a very strong Super . "
"Why are you guys the only ones with a problem? If this gets out, these outsiders will doubt the authority of us Dragon Guards . More and more people will challenge us, threatening the security of Floating Dragon Island, destroying the peace of the residents . The long balance will be broken, and the world will turn into chaos . I don't even dare imagine it . When Lord Ames returns, my position in her heart will collapse . " Wilsander complained nonstop .
Han Xiao's mouth twitched . Don't you have any idea? Your impression in Ames' heart was collapsed from the start…
He did not have the heart to break Wilsander's fantasy; they would not be playmates if he did . Actually, creatures at their grade were the same as parameciums in Ames' eyes, and her subordinates were just domestic parameciums…
Han Xiao cut off Wilsander's complaints and said, "Don't worry, I know who they are . "
At this time, a new idea surfaced in his mind . The reason that Ember did not have fears was because they kept things confidential . However, he did not know that his identity had been revealed by Han Xiao, and when his identity was exposed, he would definitely be very confused . Not knowing where he exposed any information, he would never be able to guess what was unique about Han Xiao .
Since he was the only one that knew about this intel, he could take advantage of it, revealing DarkStar's identity to Floating Dragon Island . Coincidentally, Ames had not been in a good mood recently . If someone beyond grade A targeted DarkStar, even Han Xiao would pity them .
DarkStar doesn't want to cause trouble? No problem, I will help them cause tons of trouble . I'm a man who wore the red scarf before after all . Helping people is something I should do .
Because of Mutation Disaster, DarkStar would definitely be his enemy, so he was very happy about this plan .
Furthermore, Han Xiao made a new discovery . Even Ember was sent out . These Silvers definitely have a big secret, and DarkStar is trying to do something huge!
He asked the still horrified Silvers, and after that, he caught a few key points . Firstly, DarkStar did not want to rescue all the Silvers but a certain one . Secondly, this person had definitely been in contact with DarkStar before, or they would not have exchanged code word . This person was likely a secret employee, and even his friends did not know his identity . Thirdly, one of the two Silver that died was DarkStar's target, so Ember had just retreated temporarily . It definitely did not mean that he had given up . Fourthly, this was probably not the first time that a similar operation had been carried out .
By connecting these points, Han Xiao smelled a conspiracy . It was so confidential and cautious—this thing was definitely very important to DarkStar . He was suddenly very motivated . If he could break DarkStar's plan secretly, not only would he anger them, he might even profit from it .

Furthermore, he was in the shadows, and the enemy was under the light . This was his biggest advantage .
The only problem was… he did not know what DarkStar wanted to do . There was a serious lack of intel .
…
The guards cleaned up the ruins of the slave market . Unconscious people were carried aside, and Horlaide's eyes opened slowly . He had finally awoken .
Horlaide looked up . He was still lost and confused . Then, he stared directly at the ruins before him, slowly coming to recognize this familiar outline . His mouth gradually opened wide, and his expression turned horrified .
Then, an almost deafening scream soared into the sky!
"Argh!"
The guards beside hastily covered their eyes and felt shocked . "Tsk, this high note is comparable to a Psychic Blast . "
After he finished screaming, Horlaide fell flat on the ground . His heart was twitching, and he almost suffocated .
He still remembered the last thing that he had seen before turning unconscious . He had been sitting in his luxurious chair, sipping on a drink, and feeling excited about the huge sum of money that he was going to receive . Alas, now, his home was gone, and he had suddenly become broke . He had fallen from Heaven to Hell in an instant .
His composure collapsed! Horlaide's luxurious shirt was covered in dust . He was in a mess . He hastily grabbed one guard from the side and asked with a trembling voice, "What has happened? Why did my home turn into this!"
The guard described what had happened . Knowing the enemies had been captured, Horlaide's eyes sparkled, and he hastily asked, "Then what about my slaves? Where are they? Give them back to me now!"
At this time, a voice full of justice appeared from the side .
"Horlaide, don't worry . I will definitely catch back all the slaves for you, minimizing your damages!"
Horlaide turned and looked over immediately . He was very surprised .
The owner of the voice was Han Xiao, he walked over with wide strides, and behind them followed all the slaves, including the Silvers .
This group of slaves had all been rescued by the guards . Han Xiao had just discussed with Wilsander and received the authority over the slaves, so he had gathered all of them .
"These are all my slaves . " Horlaide was overjoyed .
Han Xiao's face was filled with justice, he patted his own chest and said, "Don't worry, if the slaves are found, I will return them to you immediately . We are colleagues after all . "
"Found? You have already brought the slaves, quickly return them to me . " Horlaide was confused .
Han Xiao widened his eyes, looked around, and said, "Where are the slaves? Tell me, I will definitely catch them for you . "
"Stop playing dumb, right behind you!" Horlaide was agitated .
"Behind me?" Han Xiao looked back with confused, then shook his head, and said, "Only those wearing cuffs and collars are slaves . I only see a group of free people . Where are the slaves you're talking about?"
Now Horlaide understood Han Xiao's intention . His expression changed instantly, and his lungs almost exploded out of rage .
