A philosopher once said that the sky is always calm before a storm.
After the Military Department had destroyed all the interstellar pirates' ships, its personnel enjoyed a full two days and nights of tranquility. But these two days were the most nerve-wracking time for the numerous members of the Military Department. No one dared to touch a drop of alcohol, fearing another surprise attack like the last time.
News of all interstellar pirates seemed to have been obliterated along with the wreckage of those ships, without a single feedback.
Even Sharp and Emily could clearly feel the peculiar pressure and tension—they knew that these interstellar pirates would definitely take action, but they didn't know how they would strike, so the Military Department's personnel were on edge at all times.
