When the Galaxy Wept

Chapter 40 We Did Nothing

It was likely that the alliance wanted to reduce the strength of the Phoenix by sending Matthew Sanders here. With the case of Harrison Gates, the Phoenix would never be trusted anymore. The Captain, Chief Mate, and Staff Officer were changed to the old-school officers of Sanders. Fortunately, the team leader of the air force had been promoted by the senior pilots. He appreciated Emerald’s skills and promoted her to the leader of a team. “Enough.” Emerald stopped their conversation. The Colonel has his own consideration. He did this for the whole alliance.” She chose four of his men to go to Freedom City with her. The men she chose all cheered up. “It is said that the prettiest dancers of the alliance are there.” They had already moved on to the next topic excitedly. Emerald smiled and crouched back to her bed and lay down. Freedom City was the base camp of Kenzo now.No, she was wrong. It was Patrick Lewis. At that thought, she placed her cold hand on her face. Staying in the Phoenix may not have been a good choice, but if she had stayed with Patrick Lewis, she would have died miserably. **** Three days later, the Cheetah of the alliance landed quietly in the harbor of Freedom City. This was not the first time Emerald came to Freedom City. She had been to every planet of the alliance in the last six months. However, Freedom City was different from all the other cities and had been branded with the mercenary’s style over the last six months. They walked in the street in casual wear. Mercenaries were everywhere. Some of them were wearing the black uniform of the mercenary, and some were wearing casual clothes. But it was easy to tell whether they were mercenaries because of their indifferent and cold vibe. The streets here were dirty and disorderly. Vendors had their stalls set up on the crowded streets everywhere. The mercenaries must be very generous because the vendors were all happy with a smile on their faces. Emerald had never seen citizens so happy on other planets. Prostitutes were also everywhere. Some of them had a predestined place, while others just stood on the street and flirted with the mercenaries. They didn’t care about what other people said about them. Finally, several mercenaries began to touch the girls, laughing out loud. No one seemed to care about them, except for Emerald and her men, who blushed with embarrassment. The grand hotels, which only rich people had been able to afford, were now in ruins. All the rich people had moved out of the planet, and the hotels were redecorated into small pubs. They saw a surprising scene...A bunch of tan-skinned guys wearing blue suits was drinking and playing games with the mercenaries who were wearing black suits and kept laughing and laughing. Those were the miners of Freedom City. As the planet with the most mineral resources in the alliance, Freedom Planet had always had a labor-intensive industry base with most workers. There were at least fifty thousand miners here. Both the miners and the mercenaries were born into poor families to have a good time together. There were also some pubs where miners and mercenaries were fighting and creating a big noise. Nobody was surprised by it, and some even applauded them. “They are really free and unfettered,” Jeff said with envy when he watched those people laugh and drink together after the fight. Yes, free was the impression that the mercenaries left. Wild and free.It was also the feeling that Patrick has given to people. The only difference was that he was wilder and more arrogant than the ordinary mercenaries. Even though they were wearing casual clothes, they still looked cautious and serious, some even a little nervous. Many people stared at them on the streets. At last, they took the light rail and arrived at the encampment of the mercenaries. Emerald asked for Robert’s number but was told that he hadn’t come back, but his senior officer was there. Emerald and Jeff met the officer who was an ugly-looking man with bright eyes. He lit up when he saw the expensive present and hit his chest as a guarantee that Robert would apologize to the Phoenix, and called Matthew Sanders in front of them. They seemed to have a happy conversation. The annoying task that Matthew had given her was finally done, and they walked out of the camp. Before Emerald said anything, the young men began to push each other, and Jeff said with a blushing face, “Lieutenant, we want to sit for a while in the pub.” Emerald looked into their eyes, which were bright and full of expectations, and nodded after thinking for a while. “Okay, but keep a low file and don’t get into trouble.” They went to the best pub in Freedom City. The night was clear and bright. The great neon lights of the pub, which were shining in light blue color resembling the light of the moon, were fresh, refined, and different from other colorful lights. It was cold in the early spring. There were a dozen beautiful women wearing delicate makeup and black fur jackets standing outside the pub. Compared to the kitsch and enthusiasm of women in other pubs, they looked cold and languorous, with an empty kind of feminine charm. The cigarettes between their fingers were burning silently. Even Emerald was shocked when she saw these women. What Emerald didn’t know was that the men were even more shocked than her. On the sight of these arrogant but deprived women, their male sex instinct surfaced with the desire of wanting to conquer and enjoy these women. Emerald was shocked when she stepped into the pub, while the young men were excited. The lights were dazzling, and the music was loud, almost deafening. There were countless booths, square tables, and bars in this pub. The miners in blue suits were gathering around a table playing poker, and mercenaries were drinking wine while flirting with women who were sitting on their laps. With one hand under the skirt or shirt of the women, who were giggling in their arms. The girls laughed innocently and brightly. It seemed that they were completely at ease with their position in society.
