Chương 464: Return

The duo fell into a comfortable silence, the only sound being the hum of the ship's engines filling the cockpit.

The calm was a welcome relief after the tense, oppressive atmosphere on Gorath, and Alex allowed himself a rare moment to savour it.

Mira said after a while, breaking the silence. 

"What's the plan once we reach Mars? I assume you have something in mind."

Alex chuckled. 

"Honestly? I have no clue… I just set the destination there because I have no other information to go off of."

Alex shrugged and continued.
