VCRMM: Chapter 159

None of the star thieves present realized the danger that was approaching them.

Kuris looked at Angelia and said in a vicious voice, “Angelia, didn’t you say that you completely controlled him?”
How did this seem under control?
Their headquarters was going to be destroyed!

Angelia’s face turned white. She secretly gritted her teeth but she wasn’t strong in combat and she was a bit helpless about this current situation.
At this time, she couldn’t help looking at Xu Sili with tears in her eyes. She said tearfully, “Mr Xu, why are you doing this? You promised me, didn’t you?”

Along with her crying, the sound elements became more active. They rushed toward Xu Sili one after another, trying harder to influence him.

Angelia indeed worked hard this time. Xu Sili was sensitive to the sound elements and he vaguely felt a bit of influence this time.

However, he controlled his mind and this influence was almost nothing.
Perhaps it was because he was attacked by the sound elements in this way so many times, but Xu Sili actually had a faint enlightenment. It seemed he could also mobilize the sound elements to guide the emotions of others?

Angelia cried on the surface but was secretly mobilizing the power in her body. Even the non-targeted star thieves around her were affected by her.
However, the person she really wanted to influence, the silver-haired youth was unmoved.

She could even see deep thoughts in his eyes.
What happened?
Her ability actually failed against him!

On the other hand, Wang Kun looked at Xu Sili with a deep frown.
He had already recognized the blond-haired man outside. It was Mr Xu’s companion.

He could feel this person’s strength with just a quick glance that day.
However, he had only been a bit apprehensive at that time. He never expected that the opponent would directly chase after him and cause such big damage to Flaming Star and the mecha team!

The aftermath of the explosion displayed on the light curtain hadn’t dissipated yet. Awe filled Wang Kun’s heart and his gaze looking at Xu Sili became deeper and deeper.

Hundreds of mechas had already been lost. These were the treasures that Flaming Fox had accumulated for many years! Could it be that he had to just watch as the five mecha squads were wiped out?
No, he had to find a way!
He couldn’t let Flaming Fox be destroyed in his hands!

Since the other person’s target was this Mr Xu… he was now in their hands. Could Wang Kun use him to minimize their loss or find a way to recover the loss?
At this moment, the matter of rescuing Mu Xingzhou had been temporarily pushed to the back of his mind.

Wang Kun raised the laser gun in his hand and pressed it against Xu Sili’s forehead. “Mr Xu, please let your companion stop immediately or else…”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a figure flash around him. His hand was grabbed. Then in the next moment, a man’s steely knee hit his abdomen.

The sensation of pain eroded his nerves.
Wang Kun knelt down weakly while holding his stomach. His eyes widened like they were about to fall out and blood spat out of his mouth.
He raised his head and looked with horror at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly.

Due to the back lighting, the man’s face was hidden in the shadows. Only a pair of eyes that emitted a cold light stared at him coldly from the shadows.
“Or else… what are you thinking?”
He asked in a cold voice and the coldness in his voice seemed to freeze people. “What do you want to do with him?”

Wang Kun trembled all over. A fear he had never felt before in his life rose from the bottom of his heart. He covered his aching abdomen and opened his mouth to speak, but blood overflowed from his mouth.
With just this impact, all his ribs were broken and the broken bones had punctured his internal organs.
He fell limply to the ground and held on hard so he didn’t faint.

Xu Sili looked at the man who suddenly appeared and protected him. His purple eyes shone brightly and he was unknowingly smiling.

At this moment, the star thief controlling him didn’t pay attention due to this sudden change and subconsciously exerted a bit of force with his hand.
Xu Sili couldn’t help frowning when he felt the pain.
The smile on the young man’s face faded away, showing a trace of pain. The next moment, the pain was relieved because…

“Ah—!”
The star thief controlling Xu Sili suddenly screamed.
He saw that his hand was directly cut off by a black sword and burned directly in the process of falling to the ground!

Then under everyone’s eyes, the star thief flew out like a shot put and smashed into the metal wall. He created a deep dent and vomited blood before fainting.

There was a dead silence in the command room.
It all happened so quickly and suddenly.
It was so much so that all the star thieves present, including Kuris and Angelia, were stunned on the spot.

They looked at the man who suddenly appeared with awe-inspiring power. Then they looked at the figure on the light curtain, who had clearly been slaughtering mechas just now only to disappear without a trace. They once again showed the expression of seeing a ghost.
F*k, why did he suddenly appear here?

Except for Mu Xingzhou and the few who went out, as well as the mecha group who had just been slaughtered by Si Sheng, almost all the high level people who could speak were here.
If they were killed, Flaming Fox was completely over. Judging by the posture of this monster, he had no intention of letting them go!

One was impatient. He couldn’t stand this tense atmosphere and immediately rushed out, intending to escape from there as soon as possible.
This star thief was very fast and agile. It could be seen that he was a powerful master. He had also detected Xu Sili’s spiritual power on the spaceship before.
However, before he could reach the door—

Bang!
The man in the snow-white military uniform didn’t even look back. The star thief who tried to escape turned into a cannonball and flew forward, hitting the door head on.
Under the huge impact force, this person flew through the door and finally remained motionless in the raised dust. He was seriously injured.

The people who were ready to move all froze in place and didn’t dare to make any more moves out of fear that they would be the unlucky one next.
They were nervous and their faces were full of fear.
It was just that the man who shocked the audience didn’t even look at them.

At this moment, he had already turned around and faced the silver-haired young man. He even exposed his back full of weaknesses to them.
However, there were his three strikes and the half slaughtered mecha group. Who would dare to step forward again to seek their own death?

Xu Sili was the one who summoned him and had expected Si Sheng’s appearance. He just hadn’t expected Si Sheng to vent his anger as soon as he appeared.
He couldn’t help smiling.
“Ah Sheng.”

On the other hand, Si Sheng stared at him intently. His eyes seemed a bit more bloodshot.
After making sure that it wasn’t an illusion in front of him, he could no longer hold back the longing and panic in his heart. He opened his arms and hugged Xu Sili.

He hugged the young man tightly and tightly pressed a cheek against his ear. He smelled the familiar breath on Xu Sili’s body and reconfirmed that this was real and not his dream.
“I finally found you.”
He gave a low sigh. The fragility and grievances in his voice weren’t at all like the coldness and cruelty of the messenger from hell just now.

Xu Sili leaned against his arms. Due to this sudden action, Xu Sili’s ears were slightly warm. He wanted to refuse but after hearing these faintly crying words, he calmed down again.

He remembered Si Sheng’s panic-stricken voice when he was suddenly turned into a card and replaced by Kuris at the underground exchange.
Xu Sili couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty in his heart.
Si Sheng must’ve been in a hurry, right? It must’ve taken a lot of effort to find him so quickly.

Recalling the bloodshot eyes just now, Xu Sili rubbed against his cheek in distress.
“Yes, I’m fine.”
He patted the man’s back in a soothing manner, wanting to soothe this person’s unease. As for the staring star thieves, he completely ignored them.

After a long time, Si Sheng took a deep breath and let him go.
His eyes stared at Xu Sili and his spiritual power swept over Xu Sili again and again, confirming whether there were any hidden wounds on his body that weren’t visible to the naked eye.
Finally, he took Xu Sili’s hand.

There was a faint red mark on his white wrist from when the star thief controlled him just now.
Si Sheng looked at him with pity and heartache and said softly, “I’m sorry I’m late.”

Looking at his expression and listening to his tone, those who didn’t know anything would think that Xu Sili was cruelly abused.

The star thieves looked constipated, especially Kuris and Angelia.
What pity? They had kidnapped this person and restricted Mr Xu’s personal freedom, but they didn’t abuse him!

They wanted to defend themselves but the two companions who were thrown out were still unconscious. In addition, the sight of Wang Kun convulsing on the ground made them swallow back the words that came to their lips.
Too frightening!
This man was simply a prehistoric beast, right?

Xu Sili didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out, touched Si Sheng’s face and said softly, “I’m really fine. They wanted something from me and didn’t dare to do anything to me.”

Si Sheng glanced at him and lowered his eyes silently. A blue glow appeared around his hand.
He cast a water healing technique to help remove Xu Sili’s red mark. Then he lowered his hand and finally looked at the star thieves.
The gentleness in his eyes no longer remained. There was only cold ice and killing intent.

The star thieves trembled. Finally, Si Sheng’s eyes fell on Angelia.

Angelia’s heart skipped a beat. She had put away her weeping expression a long time ago. Her spine felt numb seeing Si Sheng staring at her and her scalp was about to explode.
She felt like she was being targeted by a poisonous snake. If she was a bit careless, she might die here at any time.

Si Sheng stared at her coldly. Without saying anything, a strong pressure fell on her.

Bang!
Angelia fell directly to the ground. She felt the terrifying power and didn’t pretend this time. She was really crying.
He was really targeting her. Why?

“What did you do?”
High leather boots appeared in front of her eyes and Angelia raised her head with difficulty.

The man looked down at her. His eyes seemed to contain a thousand years of cold ice and his voice was so cold that it made people tremble.
It was obviously a stunning, handsome face but Angelia only had fear in her heart when she looked at him.

What did she do? After he arrived, she obviously didn’t do anything…
“No…”
Suddenly, she realized something.

Angelia hurriedly begged for mercy. “I’m sorry, I know it was wrong. I shouldn’t have tricked Mr Xu into agreeing to help us.”
“But I really didn’t hurt him!”
“My bewitchment technique only affects a person’s judgment and won’t cause any substantial harm. I swear!”

For some reason, the more she spoke, the uglier the man’s expression became. She could even see violent, killing intent flashing in his gray-blue eyes.
She could decipher the words: You are gone.
Angelia’s heart trembled and she almost thought she was going to die.

Fortunately, Xu Sili stretched out his hand and pulled Si Sheng.
“She is a half merfolk who is good at manipulating people’s hearts with her voice, but it didn’t work on me.”
Xu Sili said, “I just pretended to be under her control before.”

Angelia looked at him in surprise. “How did you know I am…”
Her bloodline was her biggest secret. How did he know? How did he figure it out?

“Is this important?”
Xu Sili smiled. He looked at Kuris and tilted his head. “Card master, can you still turn me into a card now?”

Kuris instantly turned pale after suddenly being named.
“I’m sorry! I know I was wrong! Please forgive us!”
He lay down on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Sili to admit his mistake.

With the speed of the blond-haired man, he would probably be beaten to death several times before he could use his card-based skills. Kuris could see the situation very clearly.
Xu Sili looked at him with a tilted head. He thought for a while and said, “I’m very interested in your cards.”

Kuris trembled all over. This time, it wasn’t out of fear but distress.
However, there was no other way. For the sake of his life, he could only take out his card box and hold it out to Xu Sili with both hands.
A light touch was felt and the card box was taken away. Kuris’ tears fell directly.

These were the trump cards he had accumulated for many years. If he handed them over like this, his strength would be weakened by at least two-thirds.
If time could be turned back, he would definitely go back a few days and beat himself to death when he decided to target this person in front of him.
Even a cooperation with Blood Dance wouldn’t be as miserable as they were now!

Not only was their base discovered, the outer skin peeled off and two or three hundred mechas lost, but Brother Wang was seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain. His strength was also weakened by half…
The point was that Boss Mu’s life hadn’t been saved!

Kuris could feel the way the star thieves around him looked at him. Flaming Fox was quite united for a star thief organization but that was just a relative term.
He and Brother Wang had caused so much trouble to Flaming Fox. It would be strange for the people of the organization to let him go…
He was sad in his heart but he only dared to lower his head without showing it.

Xu Sili played with the wooden box in his hand. The wooden box wasn’t big. The appearance was simple and it looked very ordinary.
He felt it was really magical when he thought about how he had been placed in it as a transformed card.
He didn’t check it immediately. He stuffed the wooden box into the space capsule and said with a smile, “You guys kidnapped a researcher named Ding Mingyu before. I want to see him.”

In the power room of Flaming Fox, Dr Ding was still under the surveillance of the two star thieves.
Even though they heard the sirens, they didn’t leave without permission.

Dr Ding looked out the window and listened to the sound of the alarm. A glimmer of hope inevitably arose in his heart.
The intruders… was it the federation rescue team?
Someone from the Flanders Interstellar Federation had come to rescue him? His heart was full of expectations and the star thieves monitoring him had an increasingly unkind look in their eyes.
Then the sound of the alarm soon stopped.

Dr Ding’s heart jumped. Could it be… it failed?
“Haha, don’t look at what place this is. They didn’t measure their strength properly when daring to invade our headquarters!”
“Old Ding, you had better stay here with peace of mind.”
The two star thieves said proudly.

Dr Ding’s heart sank and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen a lot.
Just then, the communicator of one of the star thieves suddenly rang. They received an order to take Dr Ding to the command room.

The star thieves watching him didn’t think much. They just thought that Dr Ding was going to identify the prisoner, so they escorted him out of the spaceship toward the base headquarters.
Dr Ding also thought so. For a while, he couldn’t help feeling distressed and he was full of guilt for the captured soldiers.
Then all three of them were stunned when they came to headquarters and saw the scene inside.

Dr Ding stared at Xu Sili in a stunned manner. He opened his mouth but was speechless for a while.
The two star thieves were already frightened. At this moment, they loosened their grip on Dr Ding and retreated to the side while full of doubt and fear.

“You are Dr Ding Mingyu?”
Xu Sili came to the old man who was staring at him in a stunned manner. This person was probably frightened by the bloody scene in front of him.
Considering that Dr Ding was very old, he subconsciously softened his voice and said, “Someone asked me to save you.”
“You should know Mutou, right?”

Dr Ding finally calmed down but his gaze was still wandering over Xu Sili’s face. Then his face showed surprise when he heard this question.
“You mean, Ro…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Xu Sili had already nodded.
“As long as you understand.”

The two of them were playing charades. Dr Ding wasn’t speaking the universal language at all and the eavesdropping star thieves couldn’t understand it at all.
At this time, Xu Sili said again, “I heard that your sister is also in their hands? Let’s go and take her out of here together.”

Dr Ding looked at his face and let out an ‘ah’ as if he had lost his mind again. He received this reminder and quickly said, “Yes yes, I want to save Val!”
Then he turned his head and glared angrily at Kuris and the others.

Without them needing to mention it, Kuris took the initiative to take them to the place where Dr Ding’s sister was.
Coincidentally, the basement where she was placed happened to be separated from Mu Xingzhou by just one room.

Xu Sili originally just accompanied Dr Ding to visit the base of the star thieves. Then when they walked into the room together, he couldn’t help being stunned when he saw Dr Ding’s sister.
He saw the beautiful woman placed in the nutrient cabin. Her eyes were tightly closed and her long silver hair floated in the nutrient solution. Her facial features… turned out to be inexplicably familiar.
