button on the screen again.
  
  Captain huge indoor doldrums, flashing warning occupy the entire star chart, cold metal walls have been dyed pale red, emotionless machine beep sounded again:
  
  ”Handover request landing”
  
  Brook straightened his back near the table, and Hall, who was online on the light screen, waited nervously for the captain’s order.
  
  Lulai’s face was calm, his silver-blue irises were inverted with scarlet symbolising danger on the light screen, the sharp bow of his lips was slightly drawn, and the indifferent voice carried an indisputable deterrent: “Agree.”
  
  Brook sucked backwards a breath from surprise, he uttered with anxiety: “But…”
  
  But before he could finish speaking, Lulai gave him a faint look:
  
  ”Are you questioning my command?”
  
  There was not much emotional ups and downs in Lulai’s voice,  there was not even the slightest hint of blame or threat, just a simple and almost peaceful question
  
  -are you questioning me?
  
  Those pale eyes turned around and fixedly stared at Brooke.
The terrifying pressure that came from slaughtering mountains of corpses and dipping in sea of blood roared like a tsunami, giving him a sense of fear as if he was about to be torn apart alive.
  
  In just a few seconds, Brook’s back was soaked with sweat, and his hard uniform was tightly glued to his back.
His complexion instantly turned pale, and he stammered with a hoarse voice from fear: “I- I don’t dare to! “
  
  Lulai looked back, quietly issued a command:
  
  ”The lightship fleet stays in combat mode to ensure that it can act immediately when ordered – but now, stay on standby.

  
  Hall gave him a nod:”Yes! “
  
  his image disappeared from the light screen.
  
  –“Open the protective shield.”
  
  With this order, the camouflage energy layer outside the main ship was instantly removed.
In the vast star field, that was empty just a second ago, a huge, pitch-black starship slowly revealed its figure.
Its streamlined body could easily give people a sense of mental oppression and it also made Xiao Yi feel cold sweat all over.
  
  Watching the several black firearms on the warship facing them, Xiao Yi’s throat tightened nervously, he swallowed a bit of saliva with difficulty, and then, a message appeared on the screen in front of him:
  
  ”Boarding the ship is allowed.”
  
  Xiao Yi looked at Ge Xiu for help.

  Ge Xiu chewed up the candy in his mouth.
  
  Crack crack crack.
  
  The crisp sound appeared exceptionally clear in the silent combat room, making the already tense atmosphere even more tense, as if an invisible bowstring was slowly being pulled up.
  
  He said: “Let’s enter.”
  
  The command was simple and clear.
  
  Xiao Yi gave up the struggle.
With a look of despair, he controlled the medium-sized battleship that once belonged to the Alliance and slowly approached, waiting in fear for the light energy shells to shoot out of the dark gun’s muzzle, tearing through the metal protective layer of the hull like paper, flesh and blood of people inside instantly evaporating.
Or, they’d be suddenly surrounded by combat ships in ambush, and then be taken back to the main ship for military disposal-
  
  at the same time, in the main ship Brook and Hall outside the ship also had heart rise into their throat.
  
  They seemed to be able to see that in the next second, the Alliance fleet soldiers who had already prepared ambush around them would appear in front of them like from heaven, and the light energy cannons that had been accumulated for a long time flashed extremely dazzling trajectories toward the main ship that had lost its protective shield, focusing on their weaknesses that had long been betrayed and ruin the cause they have been fighting for half their lives.
  
  Countless horrible conjectures stirred in everyone’s minds.
  
  But the person who gave the order was staring out of the window as if in a dream, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate steel, glass, cannonballs, space and stare deeply at the other.
  
  The distance between both ships was getting closer and closer.
  
  The smell of gunpowder became even stronger and the inevitable exchange of fire seemed be able to happen any time now.
  
  However, it exceeded everyone’s expectations.
  
  The ship sailed into the transfer bay.
  
  The handover was complete.
  
  The medium combat ship successfully landed.
  
  The open hatch slowly closed behind the ship, pale and cold biological light sources lit up in the huge cabin filled with medium light destroyer warships.
Xiao Yi’s fingers were curled stiffly and his palm was cold and sweaty.
He collapsed softly on the chair feeling out of strength.
  
  Ge Xiu peeled off another piece of candy, jumped off his seat as if nothing was wrong and walked leisurely towards the combat room.
  
  Ten minutes later, he looked into the distance from the automatically lowered ladder.
  
  Lulai was walking from a distance, his clothes rose up with his pace, several ill-faced adjutants followed closely, and Ge Xiu, who was standing at the door of the ship, was subjected to many murderous stares.
  
  Ge Xiu didn’t seem to notice the solemn atmosphere in front of him.
He smiled and waved at Lulai and then jumped down the ladder in three steps before standing still in front of Lulai.
  
  His cheeks were bulged by the candy, his dark eyes were slightly narrowed and he pointed to behind him: “Here, a trophy.”
  
  Lulai lowered his eyes, staring at the boy who only reached his chest, without making a sound.
  
  Instead, the adjutant behind him fiercely scolded: “Do you know how many ship regulations you have violated? Not only you left without permission, but even endangered the safety of the entire ship.
According to wartime regulations, it must be dealt with by military law… “
  
  Ge Xiu turned a blind eye to him, but slowly moved closer to Lulai.
He showed a smile on his face, thin to the point of being only a skeleton and a pair of pitch-black pupils stared at the other, as with subtle meaning.
Fireworks leaped and burned in the bottomless abyss deep in his eyes.
  
  His voice was extremely calm:
  
  ”Now, we’re real allies.”
  
  Lulai’s pupils shrank suddenly.
  
  Yes, even though harmony and tranquillity have been maintained for nearly several months on the both sides, the issue of trust lies between them like an insurmountable mountain.
Dependable on the other, the members of the Leviathan will continue to be jealous.
Their life and death is controlled by Lulai, who is in power, and they’re vary of the fate of being abandoned once they lose their value.
And Lulai’s side is also the same.
They cannot trust those unknown and uncontrollable outsiders.
From the beginning, the strict surveillance of Ge Xiu has never stopped, and he seems to be free to go anywhere in the ship, but was in fact restricted everywhere and didn’t have access to a more core level.
  
  The peace between them was extremely fragile and all the calmness was just superficial hypocrisy.
  
  Fear each other, observe each other and test each other.

  In the long-term relationship and assimilation, this gap may disappear.
  
  –But Ge Xiu used the most crazy and extreme way.
  
  He played a game.
  
  A back-stabbing game in which all their lives are bet on.
In this game, swords are drawn between them, and the blades are facing each other.
As long as they make a single mistake or just a lapse of judgment, both sides will lose everything.
Blood would be drawn and the destruction would be overwhelming.
  
  Lulai raised his hand, interrupting the adjutant behind him.
  
  In silence, he asked:
  
  ”What about you? What have you prepared?”
  
  He had prepared a whole ambush with lightship fleet.
The indestructible ships had long been set to a manual combat mode, as long as he ordered, they would turn the opponent into a sieve.
  
  So what kind of back-up plan did Ge Xiu prepare?
  
  Lulai couldn’t believe that Ge Xiu would put himself in such a dangerous situation unprepared, without a backup plan.
  
  Ge Xiu was still smiling, but the words he lightly said seemed like a poisonous blade, which made people feel chills:
  
   “Don’t worry, I will remove the explosives from the main ship later.
After all, we are now allies!”
  
  They used the tips of their swords to get close to each other’s back.
  
  –But, they exchanged a complete hug.
  
  Ge Xiu squinted his eyes slyly, stood on tiptoe and approached Lulai’s ear, his soft voice was like a whisper of a demon: “Look, although they all say I am a lunatic, I don’t think I am too much.”
  
  Lulai looked deeply at him, his silver-blue eyes were like sky above the glacier that had been frozen for thousands of years and he curled up his lips.
  
  And so two lunatics looked at each other and laughed.
  
  ”Happy cooperation.”
  
  Hearing Lulai’s answer, Ge Xiu’s smiled turned deeper.
  
  The distance between them was so close, Lulai could almost smell the sweet candy scent on his body, and there was a faint citrus smell entwined in the boy’s light breath.
  
  His cheeks seemed to be a little more plump than they were when he first saw him, and it almost made you want to pinch them to see if they are the same as you imagined.
  
  Lulai looked away calmly and stepped back a little, opening some distance between them:
  
  ”But… since you left the ship without permission, punishment is still required.”
  
  Ge Xiu was taken aback: “…Huh?
  
  ” –Your sugar for this month is gone.”
  
  Ge Xiu’s expression suddenly froze on his face: “Huh???”
