Jiang Cheng said, "Our master and apprentice have traversed many planets, never fearing anything. If someone dares to provoke us, we will ensure they don't have a good time.

We have both been through life and death, so living or dying doesn't matter to us. This small Harry Planet was never our resting place; we're just passing by. Since we're being provoked here, they will naturally bear all consequences themselves.

However, since you've said this, we're wanderers of the universe, and having one more friend is always better than one more enemy. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The person from the Dark World, upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, felt even more unsettled and his underestimation of him grew stronger.

However, he needed people at this moment, so these two, no, these two variables, were exactly what he required.

Hearing Jiang Cheng's tone loosening, the person from the Dark World became even more magnanimous: "Don't worry, my word here is more potent than a hundred from the director. If I say you're fine, then you'll definitely face no problems here; no one will dare say a word against you!

With this, both sides reached a certain consensus, and both parties were quite delighted.

For that person from the Dark World, these two aliens from afar were merely tools for him to use. Once they're not needed, he has his methods to deal with them, whether they live or die.

But for Jiang Cheng and Yanran, they never harbored any ulterior motives. They came to Harry Planet simply to retrieve their Little Flaming Firebird.

Hence, Jiang Cheng told Yanran not to alarm the Black Exhaust Group.

Everything must prioritize finding the Little Flaming Firebird.

The person in front of them, although from the Dark World, seemingly had something to request of them.

Thus, both sides found leverage for negotiation, and the situation developed as within Jiang Cheng and Yanran's expectations.

Jiang Cheng said, "If you can truly assure that neither my master nor apprentice will be implicated by this matter, then, in gratitude, we will agree to your request.

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, we have our limitations. If it exceeds our capability, or if it requires risking our lives, then you must compensate us adequately."

Jiang Cheng's words vividly portrayed him as someone who values money like life.

The person from the Dark World, seeing this, was quite pleased.

It's not scary if your greed is boundless, only if you have no desires.

The less desire one has, the harder they are to control.

This is almost an open secret.

Since everything is so clear, shall we proceed to my place for a thorough discussion? How do you two feel about that?

Curious to see what this person from the Dark World is up to?

Jiang Cheng and Yanran agreed to his request, and thus, these two criminals just caught by the Alien Bureau leisurely boarded the special spaceship prepared for them, heading to the territory of that man from the Dark World.

To avoid alarming the enemies and prompting their defenses, Jiang Cheng and Yanran decided not to involve the Harry Planet police further and went forth accepting the arrangement towards the Harry Planet's Alien Bureau.

Unexpectedly, in the Alien Bureau, they encountered a person from the Dark World, who was colluding with the bureau's chief. It seemed that the person had considerable power, so much so that the chief had to show him deference.

Knowing that these two alien individuals didn't respect the police, the person from the Dark World didn't make things too difficult for Jiang Cheng and Yanran.

In his eyes, these two had decent skills and no prior records—at least nothing incriminating found in the Harry Planet's police archives—so he intended to involve them in a matter.

Driven by curiosity about what this person from the Dark World was plotting, Jiang Cheng and Yanran wondered whether he genuinely wanted their assistance or planned to trap them.

However, these thoughts were fleeting, as they didn't pay much heed to these people. If they were respectful, that was one thing, but if they showed any tricks, there would be no leniency.

So, under the enthusiastic invitation from the person from the Dark World, Jiang Cheng and Yanran arrived at his territory.

It was an extensive building, with two guards standing at the gate, but almost everyone coming and going inside were from the Dark World, and even some gaudily dressed women, clearly from certain professions.

The person's office was lavishly decorated, with the walls behind him adorned with various frames. Jiang Cheng and Yanran, with their sharp eyes, could see the contents of the photos clearly. They were scenes strongly reflecting the Dark World's style.

Some photos showed him counting money, stacked like a small hill in front of him.

Others showed him holding a gun, standing in a laid-back posture.

There were also group photos with several people, suggesting they were either his friends or superiors, making these photos valuable enough to display.

One particular photo depicted him torturing a bloodied man, pulling his hair to tilt his face at a painful angle, while he himself was smiling at the camera.

Though Jiang Cheng and Yanran didn't consider this person from the Dark World to be kind, these photos only amplified their aversion. Perhaps in an attempt to show cooperation or disguise his intentions, the Dark World inhabitant introduced himself as Pan.

He motioned Jiang Cheng and Yanran to sit and had drinks served before closing the door. Clearing his throat, he began discussing serious matters with them.

In hindsight, Jiang Cheng and Yanran concluded he was a traitorous character indeed.

"I need your help," Pan began.

Jiang Cheng replied politely, "Go ahead, as long as it's within our power, we'll certainly assist."

Pan leaned back, revealing a knowing smile: "I think you misunderstand; you must assist me."

He spoke with a menacing undertone: "Don't forget, you're currently suspects in the Alien Bureau on Harry Planet."

"If I wished, you would become true criminals." His sly smile deepened: "The leverage is in my hands."

Jiang Cheng remained silent, contemplating the detestable face in front of him, almost tempted to strike. Yet, to uncover this irritating person's objective, he restrained his impulse.
