Everyone stared at Ali with shock. How is he still joking around? But Ali continued to act as if nothing significant had occurred.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you staring at me as if I were a ghost? Our village is close to the country of the fairies, and we've heard from passing demons. Is there nothing else to say? What? Do you believe we're fairies? Look at our appearance before passing judgement."

They became convinced after seeing Ali's appearance. By look, he is obviously a demon. He is not a fairy in any manner.

What Ali and his pals didn't realise was that they were viewed as riches rather than foes.

"Please accept my sincere apologies. It's simply that my staff are particularly sensitive to the subject today. "

Carlo swiftly shifted the subject.

Ali also became more at ease.

Finally, Angela took a breath. She was too concerned. If their mission fails due to her actions, she will not be able to forgive herself. She gave Ali a grateful glance.

Ali gave her a grin and pa

    " This again? How did it happen? There is not even a body left. They told me this planet was a simple barbarian planet, and the mission would be easy. Now, look. Our members are dying without even knowing how. This place must be cursed. I hope I can leave this place soon. "A soldier told his companion. But his companion was shaking, and his face almost lost colour. He was terrified.Before the soldier could know why his friend was so scared, he heard a voice."A cursed place? Hmm. That's a reasonable point. If people started to disappear without any trace, there must be something similar to a curse. White mask, note it down. It may come in handy.""Noted, sir," the white-masked man replied, and they both went inside the camp."Hey, who is that black-masked man, and why is he acting mysterious and weirdly?"The soldier asked his friend."Shh. Lower your voice. It's the legendary Mr X. ""What did he do? Why is he famous? ""Don't tell me you've never heard of the Merck family. Ah, Ah

    "The Mercks are alive?" Mr X couldn't believe it. He started to replay the video again and again.The white-masked man became worried. He never saw Mr X act in this manner."Sir, there is no evidence at all. It's just random talk. Please don't take it in mind. We saw how the planet Merck was blown. There was no one there. Everything turned to ash. We saw it with our own eyes. It's just some random guy's assumptions. "The white-masked man anxiously waited for Mr X to speak.Mr X finally stopped his activities."White mask. We have a few prisoners, right? Through torture, hypnosis, drugs, or whatever methods you use, find out everything they know about Alex, John, Ali, and Rowan. I want it done immediately. "The white mask finally got the spirit back. Mr X became serious, which means they were going to start the battle."Also, send me every detail about the last attacks. I want to analyse everything. "With that, they entered a drone and left.

    Mr X remained silent for a long time. His cigarette burnt slowly to ash."White Mask, what are your thoughts about the Mercks arriving here?"White Mask was taken aback. He needed a few minutes to recover from his astonishment."How is that possible, sir? Even if any of them did come here, how could they avoid our notice?"Mr X lighted a new cigarette and began smoking."I deduced that Ali or Rowan were not locals based on the details. They had to have appeared lately, or otherwise, the slaves would have recognised them. And based on the current attack pace, I'm convinced they'd just arrived."Mr X inhaled deeply and proceeded."It appeared to be some Mercks managed to come here. If our intelligence were right, Mark had a son named Little Mark, but what most people don't know is his real name is Rowan. From what I can see, it must be Mark's son."The white mask was at a loss and didn't know what to say."But even if it's Mark's son, what use do we have?"From Mr X's excited expression

    The palace of the Merck family was as busy as usual. Various lights illuminated the entire planet, so much so that from a distance, the planet could be mistaken for the sun. There were numerous spaceships visible in every corner of the planet; the majority of them being battleships- the most advanced battleships in the galaxy, zero. Travelling between planets had become commonplace ever since the Merck family discovered a way to connect planets and galaxies. Trading and migrations began, causing some to become wealthy, while others rose to power. It marked the beginning of a new era. The technological exchange took the world into a never-before-seen era, and the Merck family played a significant role in this.

    "I'm not great at physical labour, but I'm fantastic in math and accounting." For example, I counted over a hundred carts here, with the majority of them carrying at least five people. All of those carts were drawn by horses. You also have some other animals, such as those utilised in agriculture. "Ali stopped for a second and acted like he was calculating something. He then acted like he was finally done calculating and continued his conversation."If my calculations are correct, you have a hundred carts with at least five men in them. Adding the other animals, it's five hundred men and two hundred and ten horses. Two hundred horses mean it requests at least fifty gold coins to manage them on a daily basis. If we reduce the food cost since we are travelling through the jungle, it still costs ten gold coins a day."Ali suddenly stopped, gave a meaningful gaze to Carlo, and continued."Those men seemed to be combat-trained. You need at least 500 gold coins every day to transport 500 s
