Chapter 64 Negotiation

Qi Yiming had been studying the star map on the ship for three days. When he was racking his brains over how to break into the lair of the cat boss, Wang Sen ran back with a happy face.

"The client brought back good news." Wang Sen took a breath and then slowly told the news brought back by the client: "The cat boss wants to negotiate with us."

"Negotiate?" Qi Yiming was also shocked. He had been preparing to use force for a long time, but he didn't expect that the cat boss actually wanted to negotiate.

"How to negotiate? Where to negotiate?"

"The other party is quite sincere and let us choose the place and time."

"Have you asked how our people are now?" Qi Yiming was most concerned about his subordinates.

"The situation is not good. Xu Ruifeng was beaten half to death. Wang Shuhua and Ye Lu were both detained in solitary confinement, but they are not in danger of life for the time being." Wang Sen said with a worried look.

"Xu Ruifeng deserves to be beaten...it's hard for Brother Wang and Sister Ye!" Qi Yiming had no sympathy for Xu Ruifeng's experience.

"That person is still waiting for our reply."

"The sooner the better, let's do it tomorrow! The location is in the asteroid belt of this galaxy." Qi Yiming opened the star map and casually clicked near the asteroid belt, and stored the position data in the information storage device and handed it to Wang Sen.

After watching Wang Sen leave, Qi Yiming notified the duty officer to recall all the crew members, and the Xuefeng was ready to leave the port.

Qi Yiming needed to scout the environment in advance to avoid being at a disadvantage when fighting.

An hour later, the Xuefeng quietly left the port and headed directly to the asteroid belt.

At this time, in the nest of the cat boss, a mysterious man wrapped tightly was sitting opposite the cat boss, saying in the tone of a superior to a subordinate: "This is the first time the organization has given you a task, I hope you don't mess it up."

If Qi Yiming was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Qiao Shan, the captain of the Azure.

Boss Cat said to Qiao Shan in a flattering manner: "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task beautifully."

The next day, Boss Cat led a dozen of his men to the asteroid belt set by Qi Yiming for negotiations.

Qi Yiming had been waiting for Boss Cat at the agreed location. Looking at the mighty fleet, Qi Yiming frowned and ordered his weapons chief: "Recharge the weapons slowly, don't let too much energy overflow."

"Are you here to negotiate?" Wang Sen also looked at the dozen destroyers and a cruiser on the opposite side with a pale face.

Just when Qi Yiming ordered all the crew members on the ship to be on alert, Boss Cat's side sent a directional communication.

"Are you the boss that Xu Ruifeng mentioned?" Boss Cat looked ferocious in the communicator, but Qi Yiming thought he was particularly funny.

A white and fat face filled the entire screen of the communicator, and his voice was particularly delicate. Qi Yiming also looked carefully to see if the other party had a Adam's apple.

"I'm asking you a question?" Boss Cat got a little angry when he saw Qi Yiming didn't say anything.

"I'm not the boss, the people you kidnapped were my companions." Qi Yiming answered the other party with a smile.

"Tell me, what are you going to use to redeem them?"

"You kidnapped a ship of energy blocks and two other transport ships from us, and the people are useless to you, why don't you return them to me first?" Qi Yiming didn't intend to settle this matter peacefully, and casually put forward conditions.

Even if Boss Cat was kind enough to send the people and three warships back, the problem was that without the three transport ships, Qi Yiming couldn't do anything at all.

This meant that they had to return home at the beginning of this long journey. If things went wrong, everyone would have to work as workers in the territory of the Fan Universe Business Alliance for a while, and save some money to go home before they could return to the Xuanwu Star Region in disgrace.

"It's easy to exchange people, but how about the ransom?"

"Boss Cat, just draw a line, and I'll take it..."

"Hey... you're still an expert!" Boss Cat laughed at Qi Yiming with his shrill voice: "Then trade your ship!"

How could Qi Yiming, who was once famous as the star pirate nemesis in the Xuanwu star field, accept such a condition?

Since he had no intention of making peace, Qi Yiming stopped acting. After receiving the look from the weapons officer indicating that the main gun had completed charging, Qi Yiming directly ordered the Xuefeng to fire.

The star pirates who were suddenly attacked did not panic. Boss Cat looked at Qi Yiming with bloodshot eyes while looking at a destroyer that was sunk on his side: "How dare you be so arrogant on my territory? I'll beat you to your knees and call you daddy..."

After saying that, Boss Cat hung up the communication.

"Yiming, if you start fighting like this, aren't you afraid that the other party will kill you?" Wang Sen was a little worried about the safety of the kidnapped people.

"Didn't you realize that this negotiation was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end?"

"Conspiracy? Weren't you just negotiating the price?"

"You told me this a few days ago. They got a full ship of energy blocks, why do they still need to negotiate?" Qi Yiming looked at Wang Sen standing beside him.

"Yes... How could I forget about this!" Wang Sen suddenly realized, but he still couldn't figure out why the other party still proposed negotiations?

"If I'm not mistaken, the Azure should be nearby..." Qi Yiming said to Wang Sen while ordering the radar commander to increase the detection of the surrounding space.

Qi Yiming didn't take the dozen or so pirate warships in front of him seriously.

As expected, the pirates collapsed quickly.

The Xuefeng only attacked three rounds, and several warships in the pirate fleet broke away from the formation and prepared to flee the battlefield.

However, there was no shortage of bloodthirsty people among the pirates. The four destroyers surrounding the ship of the cat boss were very calm. They followed the cat boss's old cat cruiser to the Xuefeng from beginning to end.

Qi Yiming also quickly discovered the difference between these warships. They kept changing their formation on the way to the Xuefeng. As long as a warship was attacked by the Xuefeng, the attacked warship would retreat behind the other warships for emergency repairs.

What a familiar battle method...

"It's really haunting..." Qi Yiming cursed inwardly.

Qi Yiming thought that he would meet the combatants of the Light of Humanity again on the way, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

They had just come out of the Ancestral Star Region, and they ran into this group of people again without any rest.

"Weapon Commander... Reduce the main gun charging intensity, I want to capture these warships!" Qi Yiming made up his mind this time: "The internal security forces are armored and ready for boarding battles."

Wang Sen's face turned pale when he heard about the boarding battle. He had fought for so many years and had never seen how to fight a boarding battle in space.

But then he thought of the magical tractor beam on the Xuefeng ship and felt relieved. Other warships could not board, but the Xuefeng could.

"Navigator, maximum engine power output... Try your best to get close to the enemy ship..."

With an order, the Xuefeng ship immediately became lively.

As the security personnel on the Xuefeng, the internal security forces all came from Yaluo Star.

And they formed their own faction, usually responsible for the order on the ship, and did not listen to anyone's orders, only to Qi Yiming's arrangements.

But there has been no eye-catching performance. This time, they finally have the opportunity to show their faces. They are all like chicken blood, roaring and wearing single-person exoskeleton armor.

It’s late again... Sorry!!
