However, they would not fear ordinary space pirates.
After all, they would not be too weak if they dared to do business outside.
David did not go out and continued to rest in his room.
He was thinking about how he should start his business after he got to the Central Sacred Continent.
Knock knock knock!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
âWho is it?â David asked.
âMister, open the door. Itâs me!â The little girl Peggyâs voice sounded from outside the door.
âPeggy?
âWhat does she want?â
David was curious, and got up and opened the door.
He spotted the little girl standing there outside the door.
David squatted and asked, âPeggy, why are you here?â
âMister, mom is very busy right now and doesnât have time to talk to me, so she asked me to come and play with you,â the little girl said a little embarrassedly.
âThen what is your mother up to?â
âI donât know!â The little girl shook her head.
David smiled.
âWhat does a seven or eightâyearâold girl know anyway?â
âOkay then! Since your mom is not free, I will play with you.â
David picked up the little girl, turned around, and entered his room after closing the door behind him.
âThank you, Mister!â
The little girl was very sensible.
After putting the little girl on the chair, David asked, âWhat do you want to play?â
âI want you to tell me stories,â the little girl said.
âWell⦠Sure! I will tell you a story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,â David thought for a while and said.
âOkay! Okay! Mister, tell me now.â
Then, David started telling stories to Peggy.
One spoke very seriously while one listened even more seriously.
When she heard Snow White eat the poisoned apple, the little girl held Davidâs hand tightly, showing the tension and anxiety inside her heart.
However, she was very sensible and did not ask anything aloud.
She also did not interrupt David.
After David finished telling the brief story and said that Snow White and the prince lived happily ever after, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and beamed.
âHow is it? Peggy, was that a good story?â David asked with a smile.
âYes, yes! Mister, tell me another one, I want another one!â The little girl replied excitedly.
âThen I will tell you one more.â
The two had a happy story time in the room.
On the contrary, the atmosphere in the merchant ship control room had reached a freezing point.
Marlee stared intently at the sensor.
Five more minutes.
As long as these five minutes passed and the other party still did not change their route, both parties.
would pass by each other and they would be safe.
This would mean that the opponent was either a meteorite, a merchant ship, or some force that happened to pass by.
In any of these cases, it would not be a space pirate.
âDonât move.
âYou must not move!â
Marlee prayed silently in her heart.
It was not just her; Fraser, who was standing by, was also praying in his heart.
All the staff on the merchant ship were in a state of extreme tension.
If the rapidly approaching object changed course and came toward them, they could basically determine. it to be a group of space pirates.
Everyoneâs life on the merchant ship would be in danger.
They would not escape facing those space pirates who specialized in robbing merchant ships.
Even if they changed direction as soon as they discovered the other party, there would still be no chance of escaping.
The space pirateâs equipment was much more advanced than that of the merchant ship of the Jung family.
