"Are you sure that kid named Robin is registered with a logistics company? And not some mercenary escort company or security company? Looking at the purchase list of Roche Logistics handed over by his entourage, Elliott, who had a cold face, couldn't help frowning.

Judging from the things on this list, this is not like what a logistics company would buy at all, but rather like the preliminary preparations made by a team of mercenaries preparing for war.

"Yes, boss." The attendant secretly glanced at Elliott's expression at the moment, and said cautiously: "I also investigated their loan records at the Federal Bank, and I found ......"

Elliott's eyes froze: "What did you find?" ”

"I found a copy of the contract between Roche Logistics and Byron Heavy Metals Trading in the Commonwealth Bank's loan file, which shows that Byron Heavy Metals Trading Co., Ltd. has been purchasing rare materials from Roche Logistics for a long time, and the total amount of funds is up to 100 million federal dollars."

"Rare substances! ～”

Hearing this, Elliot almost jumped up from his office chair, grabbed the attendant's collar, stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and asked word by word, "You mean...... Rare substances? ”

"Yes...... Yes......" The attendant replied with a shudder, avoiding Elliott's devouring gaze.

"Damn! ~Where the hell did this Robin come from, and where did he get the goods? Elliott gasped like an angry bull as he pushed his followers away, roaring, "Contact Bloody Harry, I'm going to find out if he's from a gathering team." ”

"I've been contacted, and Barry told me with certainty that he'd never heard of this man, and had never seen an unfamiliar fleet in the gathering circles on the outskirts of the Ultra Nebula. Unless...... Unless they come from the deepest depths of the Ultra Nebula. ”

"No way, no one can enter the Ultra Nebula and come out alive." Elliott slowly calmed down after a few rough gasps, he narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Is it that some people are disobedient and have broken the contract they signed with me to secretly sell things to others?" ”

"It should ...... There shouldn't be ...... With such a large trading volume, it is impossible not to find ......"

"No?" Elliott, who had just regained his composure, suddenly turned around, knocked down his entourage with the cane in his hand, and roared hysterically: "Then tell me, where the hell did this guy's goods come from?" ”

"I'm sorry ......"

The bloodied retinue struggled to get up from the ground, covered his forehead with blood flowing like a pillar, and replied with a frightened hunched back: "I...... I don't know ......."

"I don't know! ~" Elliot kicked the poor attendant down again, slapped him on the back with his cane and roared: "You don't know anything, so what are you doing alive!" ~You damn shit! ～”

Elliot, frantically whipping his followers like crazy, blood raining down on his white shirt, and the gem-encrusted cane finally broke in two after knocking open the skulls of his followers.

'Whew! ~''Whew! ～’

Gasping for air, Elliott kicked away the bloody corpse at his feet with a hideous face. He wiped the blood splashed on his cheeks, grabbed the communicator on his desk and roared, "Find someone to come to my office to dispose of the garbage, and also, contact some free people who want to work for me, and ask them to go to the port to stop that 'Catfish' 3 transport!" ～”

…… Meanwhile, at the large ship berthing in the Hermes spaceport, Robin and the others are busy signing for the goods delivered by various merchants, while Cecilia and Borg are already in position on the bridge, ready to go.

"This is the last batch, and it's a great harvest today!"

Watching the shipboard personnel happily move the last machine tool into the cargo hold, Robin and Lee looked at each other and smiled.

He handsomely signed the receipt form, shook hands with the smiling boss and said, "I have written down your contact information, remember your promise, you will update me with your list of goods at any time." ”

"Of course, it's a pleasure to keep in touch with a big client like you."

Hearing the boss's compliment, Robin smiled noncommittally, and simply completed the transfer procedures in front of the electronic screen at the port of berth.

After confirming that the payment had arrived, the smile on the boss's face suddenly brightened again, but just as he wanted to say a few words to Robin, a strong man with a face full of iron rings suddenly squeezed over, grabbed him by the neck and threw him out. Immediately, a large crowd of freedmen dressed like thugs swarmed around.

"Someone's making trouble! ～”

Finding that something was wrong, Li Yi, who was busy in the cargo hold, waved and rushed out with a large group of shipboard personnel.

On the port, Robin, who was surrounded by a large group of people, had a calm face. He looked at it casually, and suddenly locked his gaze on a few people on the outskirts of the crowd who were hiding in the distance. Although these people perfectly showed the curious demeanor of the other onlookers, Robin was keenly aware that these people hid the uniforms of the space police officers in their coats, in other words, these sneaky guys outside were actually the space police who maintained law and order.

Looking back at Li and a large group of shipboard personnel who had rushed over with their sleeves up, and then contacting Arnold, the chief of the space police station that he had met by chance not long ago, Robin immediately realized that this was a trap. The other party's purpose may have been to get his crew into conflict with these freedmen so that they could keep their ship in the Hermes spaceport in the name of investigation.

"Looks like someone is eyeing me......"

Smiling to himself, Robin put his hand on Nishizawa's trembling shoulders with a relaxed face, turned back to Li who was rushing over and shouted, "Don't come here, tell Cecilia to leave immediately." ”

“……”

Hearing Robin's words, Li and a large group of shipboard personnel who were preparing to fight immediately stopped their steps neatly. With the tacit understanding between Lee and Robin, he quickly got a hint from the way Robin looked at him.

"Go back!" Out of trust in Robin, Lee quickly retreated to the ship with all the crew and closed the hatch very simply.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the sudden chaos in the port through the surveillance footage, Cecilia's video avatar immediately appeared in the cargo hold.

"Somebody wants to get in trouble, Robin will fix it. By the way, he told us to go first. ”

"He's left alone?" Hearing Lee's answer, Cecilia in the video immediately showed a nervous expression.

"Huh...... It's just a bunch of rubbish. Rest assured, the injured person will definitely not be Robin. ”

“……”

Perhaps it was the strong confidence in Lee's tone that infected Cecilia, and she gritted her teeth on the bridge and resolutely started the ship's engines.

The start of the ship's engine made Robin who was left behind breathe a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was Cecilia's refusal to leave because he was worried about himself, but it seems that the experience of this time has made Cecilia slowly fade into a real captain.

Now, with no worries to spare, the beast hidden in Robin's blood began to slowly awaken and open its blood-hungry eyes.

The game is about to begin! ~ Robin licked his lips excitedly, and after glancing around with disdain, he suddenly looked down at Nishizawa who was trembling like a sieve beside him, and said with a playful smile: "Fatty, this is your friend?" ”

Nishizawa, who was born with the timid surname, was about to pee out with nervousness, and now even a fool knew that violence was about to happen, but Robin was still in the mood to joke with him.

He really couldn't figure out why Robin wanted his men to leave, so he asked in a bitter face, "Old ...... Boss...... Are you sure you're awake now? ”

"Nonsense! ～”

Robin glared at him, and turned to the strong man who still hadn't come to his senses.

In fact, no one, including Arnold, the chief of the space police who designed this project, thought that Robin would stay alone and let the ship leave first. After all, this is too unreasonable, at least any Federation person with a lot of money will cherish his life. Moreover, when an employee abandons his boss and flees alone in the face of such a situation, it is a strange scene that is absolutely impossible.

But now this strange scene has really happened, and the transport ship that was supposed to be left in the harbor actually left Robin alone. Faced with this unexpected situation, the strong man who took the lead had no idea how to deal with the current situation.

And looking at Robin, who was walking slowly towards him at this moment, he suddenly felt a kind of instinctive fear. It was as if it was not a human being coming towards him at this moment, but a monstrous beast that had bared its fangs.

The sturdy man looked at the man who was paying attention to the situation in the distance, hoping to get a hint from the man.

Soon, he saw the man make a throat-wiping gesture for him, and this fierce gesture immediately dispelled the confusion in his heart, causing him to once again reveal the fierce gaze of an outlaw.

"You're Robin of Roche Logistics?" The burly man glared at Robin with a hideous face, and quietly touched his hand behind him.

Ignoring the other party's unnutritious opening statement, Robin asked in a tone similar to provocation, "Who asked you to come?" ”

“……”

The strong man was stunned when he heard this, and Robin's composure at the moment made him feel a strong sense of oppression, and he began to breathe rapidly for no reason.

As a freedman who wanders on the line of life and death for many years, he senses the dangerous aura that emanates from Robin's body. If he could, he would have turned around and ran now, but remembering the rich reward promised by the man who found him, the desire for money in his heart overwhelmed his reason, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

"Poor fellow......"

The moment Robin said this, he suddenly threw a high whip leg sideways without warning, hitting the strong man's face.
