Capítulo 383: Chapter 380 Welcome to the Galactic Alliance
"Galactic Alliance language? What did they say?" Tony, still in his new armor, blinked in surprise at Kyle. He hadn't expected his Godfather, who seemed to know everything on Earth, to also understand the common tongue spoken in this distant corner of the universe.
Lorna, equally intrigued, eagerly awaited Kyle's explanation.
Observing the Spaceship fleet on the screen and comparing their firepower, Kyle pondered, "They claim to be the space authority within a ten-light-year radius. They're demanding that our unauthorized Spaceship immediately halt and submit to inspection, or they'll open fire."
"Space authority?" Tony shook his head incredulously. "Sounds like a bunch of thugs trying to shake us down. They create the problem, then offer the solution—stop and surrender, or else."
"But this is outer space. There are no trees or roads," Lorna remarked, rolling her eyes but understanding Tony's metaphorical point.
Planting trees, paving roads, or even space authority— perhaps it was all just an excuse to compel them to stop their Spaceship.
Kyle had anticipated this, wasting no time before instructing Vis, who controlled the spacecraft's operations, "Vis, bring our ship to a halt!"
Tony and Lorna were momentarily taken aback, but they were not foolish. Without needing further explanation from Kyle, they understood his intentions— to gather valuable intelligence from encountering a high-tech civilization, whether they were real pirates or not.
The engines of the Eagle Class Spaceship whirred to a stop, its speed decreasing until only the small engines maintained balance, leaving it suspended in the vastness of space.
The unidentified Spaceship fleet accelerated slightly, and two smaller Spaceships, about three times the size of their Eagle Class Spaceship Class Spaceships, flanked it, blocking its path as if holding it hostage.
The leading Interstellar Spaceship eventually approached, initially appearing no larger than a fist on the screen due to the angle. But as it drew closer, its size became apparent, dwarfing the Earth's Spaceship in comparison.
The Interstellar Spaceship hovered in space like a dark Iron Fortress, obscuring the dazzling and mysterious starry sky, casting its vast shadow over the diminutive Eagle Class Spaceship fighter.
At that moment, the underside of the Interstellar Spaceship suddenly concaved, forming an entrance resembling a mouth. A green light radiated from within, briefly illuminating the Eagle Class Spaceship before a force pulled it inside.
The scene resembled a big fish swallowing a small fish. After passing through a lengthy tunnel, the Eagle Class Spaceship finally landed in the docking area within the Interstellar Spaceship.
The boarding ramp lowered, and Kyle led Lorna, followed closely by Tony in his armored suit, as they calmly disembarked from the fighter jet.
"Shuā Shuā Shuā!"
Dozens of alien guards, clad in slightly bulky white spacesuits, appeared by the fighter jet as if they had rehearsed the maneuver countless times, all aiming laser rifles at Kyle and his companions in unison.
Kyle remained expressionless, calmly surveying them before uttering, "Is this how you welcome guests?"
"Hahaha, first, drop your weapons!" One guard stepped forward, removing his tactical helmet to reveal a green-skinned, pointed, and ugly face, grinning with a wolfish smile. "Outsiders, I am Captain Green, head of the guards on this Spaceship. And you are...?"
He seemed to be using some kind of translation device, as his words were understood by both Lorna and Tony.
Green's eerie gaze shifted from Kyle and Lorna, who were unarmed, to Tony, fully armored. Kyle didn't answer but instead asked, "Are you the captain of this Spaceship?"
Green hesitated for a moment before shaking his head lightly.
"So, take us to see the captain. I don't want to waste time with lackeys," Kyle glanced at Green, his eyes filled with disdain and arrogance, displaying an attitude of superiority.
Green, seemingly accustomed to such treatment, remained unperturbed and gestured cheerfully. "Please follow me. The captain is waiting for you in the reception room."
Without a word, Kyle led Lorna forward, with Tony acting as their bodyguard trailing behind.
Green walked behind them, his gaze lingering on Lorna's graceful figure in Kyle's arms. He licked his lips, then shifted his gaze to Tony, his cold intent barely concealed.
As someone from a remote region of the galaxy, relying on local technology to barely make it to the Galactic Alliance, Green had encountered many people like Kyle. Unfortunately for them, encounters with their Spaceship often had only one outcome!
...
Armed alien guards stood watch every ten meters in the corridor as Green led Kyle and his companions to the reception room without encountering any obstacles.
Just as they were about to enter the room, Tony was intercepted by the guards at the door.
"Sorry, but it's a rule on this Spaceship. Armed bodyguards are not allowed in the reception room," Green apologized with a smile, though his face betrayed no hint of regret.
Tony was about to lose his temper upon hearing this, but Kyle calmed him down with a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Tony, you wait outside."
Since the godfather had spoken, Tony had no choice but to comply, grumbling as he stood outside with Green Peak.
Kyle and Lorna entered the spacious and well-lit reception room, where several rows of circular tables and chairs were arranged. Armed guards stood by the side.
After the door closed behind them, the circular wheelchair at the far end suddenly rotated ninety degrees, revealing a tall extraterrestrial with red hair lounging on it. He extended his hands towards Kyle and Lorna, saying, "Welcome to the Galactic Alliance! I am Reno, captain of this Interstellar Spaceship."
As Kyle and Lorna took their seats, Reno continued in a polite and warm tone, "Welcome, travelers from afar. I mean you no harm, only friendship. May I ask for your identities?"
"I'm Kyle, and this is my wife, Lorna. And this here is Tony, my bodyguard and steward, an intelligent robot," Kyle introduced them, while Lorna blushed slightly, snuggling closer to him, playing the role of the perfect actress.
Fortunately, the fusion of fire-based divine power and light-based energy allowed for the aurora phenomenon produced by them to subside a little.
"Oh, and we are humans from Earth!" Kyle added, scrutinizing Reno for his reaction.
"Earth? Humans?" Reno seemed momentarily stunned.
Pretending to be curious, Kyle asked, "Do you know where Earth is, Captain? Or perhaps any humans?"
Reno waved his hand, and drinks were brought over by the attendants. He smiled at Kyle and said, "No, I don't. However, I had a friend who once visited Earth. He said it was a planet with poor resources and low civilization. He even predicted that the indigenous humans wouldn't be able to leave the solar system and reach our Galactic Alliance civilization within a hundred years. But now, it seems he was clearly mistaken."
"I see," Kyle said, pretending to understand, but leaving a mental note. He couldn't be sure which part of Reno's words were true and which were false.
But he was playing the same game— both sides were testing each other.
