Chapter 618: An Early Reunion

Bounty hunters may sound like a very free job, free to travel through the stars. But Boba isn't a newcomer to the industry on his first day, and he and all the veterans in the industry know that bounty hunter freedom is relative. They look very dashing, but they are actually scavengers who make leftovers under the framework of the empire's power.

The main source of work for bounty hunters is from the Imperial Court or local high-ranking officials, and it is not without them from the private sector, but they are usually low-profit, risky, and illegal in most areas, which is not suitable for long-term work.

There was no shortage of fugitives and enemies of high-ranking local officials in the Empire, and it was too costly for the Imperial Army and other law enforcement agencies to use formed forces to capture them. This is the main living space for bounty hunters.

Most of the big orders Boba himself received were from Vinda, and although this partnership was purely based on money, the mutual trust and mutual benefit in it had become a part of his life.

Thinking of a possible conflict with the Empire, and even with Vader, Boba retreated in his heart. Although he had killed many Jedi Knights, he knew that this Sith Lord was no ordinary Force Warrior after seeing Vader's abilities up close.

For ordinary people, and even low-level Force warriors, Vader is a god-like being. Use the Force on the ground to pull down a large battleship in orbit, and kill the enemy fleet commander with a single move of the Force Throat at a distance of several light minutes......

These are all within Vader's capabilities, and Boba has yet to see anyone but the Emperor survive the conflict with Vader. To be an enemy of such a god-like man was never in his work plan as a bounty hunter.

"I'm flattered by your attention, ma'am. But if you want me to help you fight against the Empire, then you can give up, I value my life too much to waste it on such an impossible goal. Boba directly stated that it was unrealistic to pit himself against the Empire.

"When did I say I wanted you to fight against the Empire?" I need your skills. Your knowledge, but not your opinion. Sister Xue euphemistically said that she didn't need Boba to directly confront the empire, but wanted him to share the skills and experience he had accumulated.

For the expedition, Boba. That's where the whole value of Fett comes in. Boba is well aware of the fighting styles of all the major intelligent races in the plane, and has excellent restraint skills for Force Warriors.

If he can be persuaded to share this knowledge and experience under certain conditions, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness and survival chances of the expedition members. Many dangerous tasks can also be risk-controlled at an acceptable level.

"I'm sorry. I don't do this kind of business. I only sell the work I do, not my craft. Boba's tone immediately became cold after he understood Sister Xue's request. As a bounty hunter who lives by his craft, he certainly knows that his most valuable "assets" are the knowledge and experience he has gained by risking his life.

This knowledge and experience is fundamental to his survival in this dangerous galaxy, and if he gives it away, he will lose his competitive advantage in the foreseeable future, and be robbed of business or even scrapped by other bounty hunters.

That's why he rejected Sister Xue's conditions, in his opinion, no matter how strong Sister Xue's background is, it is impossible to offer conditions that satisfy him. Let him obediently hand over the foundation of his life. However, he will soon revise his ideas.

A day later, they arrived at the field where the two captured Star Destroyers were located. Like the Millennium Falcon, they were carefully verified by the escort group before they were allowed to approach as they approached.

Because Sister Xue put forward a very credible reason for the transaction, Boba did not struggle further on the way here, and in order to cultivate mutual trust, Sister Xue also released his shackles. In return, Boba temporarily dismantled the hidden security system on Slave One and agreed to further negotiate his terms at the other party's temporary headquarters.

Boba didn't think about trying to regain control of his own boat after being unrestrained. But he is a very cautious and practical person, not to mention that he has a 1 to 2 numerical disadvantage in the face of Sister Xue. Even if they fight one-on-one, he doesn't have a complete chance of winning.

Needless to say, Sister Xue, who has an inexplicable background, the other party's ability is enough to subdue herself before she makes any threatening moves. Even Captain Solo still has a gun, not a single weapon like him.

Before she let go of Boba's restraints, Sister Xue had already searched all kinds of weapons compartments in Chuanshan, although she did not find all the hidden weapons. However, any weapons in a better position were found and cordoned off, so Boba was still unarmed, and the threat to her was infinitely close to zero.

After Slave No. 1 stopped the spaceship in the air port of the No. 1 Star Destroyer, the group walked out of the cabin under the leadership of Sister Xue. Captain Solo walked out with a pistol holding his head in his hands and Boba dressed in a cloth suit. They were all shocked by what they saw.

However, due to the difference in perspective and personal focus, they are not actually surprised by the same thing. As a bounty hunter and potential collaborator, Boba. Fett is amazed by the "results" here.

As soon as he got off the ship, he could immediately see that this Star Destroyer no longer belonged to the Empire, not only that there was not a single Imperial soldier in the airport, but also that all the vehicles docked here were unfamiliar, and it was obvious that this Emperor-class Star Destroyer had been occupied for a while.

But as far as he knew, no one had ever succeeded in capturing the Empire's Emperor-class Star Destroyer before. As a symbol of the Empire's strength, the Emperor-class has fierce firepower and strong protection, and the rebels have been on the rise for several years, but it is rare to hear of the record of destroying Imperial warships, let alone more difficult captures.

The Star Destroyer in front of him was not only captured, but there were also traces of repair in many places, and the places with the Imperial Flag logo were smeared and covered, replaced by an unfamiliar logo, and none of the signs on the scene belonged to the rebels!

As a bounty hunter who is often in contact with different forces, Boba. Fett was confident that he would be able to recognize the logos of the top forces and organizations in all the galaxies, but this was the first time he had seen the logo of the Space-Time Council, and at this time he would never have imagined that he would also use this unfamiliar logo in the future.

While the bounty hunter was thinking about the battle scene here, Captain Solo, who was pushing him away, saw several familiar figures in the distance, among which the one in a white dress was Princess Leah.

"...... Han" Princess Leah ran over as she shouted his name, and soon rushed into Captain Solo's arms. Soon, the lovers who had just experienced "life and death" showed their affection here, and fell into a situation where no one else was.

For Captain Solo, this was a surprise, after all, according to his memory and understanding, he had only been separated from Princess Leah for a few days. Seeing that his new girlfriend would miss him so much, Captain Solo naturally felt a sense of accomplishment.

But for Princess Leah, the reunion has a deeper meaning. Her three views had been severely challenged a day earlier, and she and Luke were taken to the lower cabin under the arrangement of the Master Chief, where they met Padmay, who had just been transferred.

Through the one-way glass, they both saw their mother for the first time. Padme, who had just "transitioned", did not seem to be in a very good mental state and seemed groggy. She sat on a medical table in a daze, while a group of doctors surrounded her and examined her.

Although no one at the scene directly told the true identity of the people inside the Skywalker siblings, Luke quickly had a rough guess about the identity of the people inside through Guò's Force sensing ability. He was sure that the young woman inside had a deep relationship with himself and Vader, but he was not sure about the specific identity of the other party.

Although he had seen many unusual things on the expedition's side, no one had told him that the men were capable of resurrecting the dead, and it was not until after their brief visit that the Master Chief revealed the mystery and informed them that the woman they had seen earlier was their biological mother.

For Luke, these are two shocking news. And for Princess Leah, it's three. Luke had only met his father a few days earlier, and now he was surprised to find that his mother, who was said to be long dead, was still alive, and that he had a sister of his own!

For Princess Leah, this series of news is even more shocking, because until today, she has never doubted her origins. As the daughter of a famous planet governor, she always thought that her adoptive parents were her own parents.

Her adoptive parents had always taught her to be a defender of the cooking system, and for a long time, she never doubted her education and her mission. But now, in just a few hours, she learns that her "parents" are just adoptive parents.

Her biological father was the most powerful supporter of the imperial dictatorship and her own political enemy, and her mother was the famous Queen of Naboo. And she actually has an older brother herself, and this person is actually Luke, whom she has always felt very fond of!

Before Cloudsdale, Princess Leah had not been sure about her relationship with Captain Solo because of Luke's interference. She had a great affection for these two men who broke into her life at about the same time.

She likes Luke's innocent and kind temperament, but she can't resist Captain Solo's masculinity. If it weren't for a series of mishaps that gave her and Captain Solo more time to spend together, it's hard to say what kind of spark she'd have had with Luke.

Now, knowing the truth, she feels that some of the people around her have been smashed, and all the people she cares about have another side that she doesn't know, only Captain Solo is very innocent, not only willing to go to the trouble for her, but also not to worry about what he suddenly has to do with his past. (To be continued......)
