Chapter 141 On the Train

Han Xiao naturally had no idea that DarkStar was tracking a traitor on Norios and had purchased a piece of intelligence from an intelligence organization.

By sheer coincidence, he just brushed past Ashes without either of them noticing the other.

At this moment, the trader led them to a booth, and they all took their seats.

"What kind of intelligence are you looking to purchase? Our organization has a powerful intelligence network, and we have everything from current affairs to secrets," the trader boasted.

"I'm looking for someone. Give me some paper and a pen, and I'll draw his likeness."

With his high Intelligence, his memory was becoming clearer. Han Xiao quickly sketched a portrait of a human on the paper. Judging by the lifespan of a normal human, this person was probably around fifty years old, with a circle of stubble, distinct facial features, and many wrinkles. His appearance looked like an ordinary middle-aged man with a vicissitudinous air.

"This person should have been to Norios. I want to know the time and place he appeared," Han Xiao said.

The trader nodded, took out an internal instrument, and searched for a while before saying, "We have matching intelligence. This is an ordinary person. Our informants have recorded all the travelers who have come to Norios. Recently, we are holding a promotional activity for finding people. This piece of intelligence only costs 100 Enas."

Sylvia clicked her tongue secretly. Intelligence was indeed an expensive commodity. Just finding a target marked as an ordinary person cost 100 Enas, enough to take an interstellar tour through several star systems. When she had purchased intelligence about Han Xiao's whereabouts in the past, she had also spent a lot of money.

If she had been timid back then and had hidden away instead of seeking revenge, she would not have known the truth about her father and would have lived in false hatred. How tragic her life would have been. She would not have become the teacher's apprentice because of this, and she would never have been able to touch the field of superpowers. Looking back on the past, she couldn't help but feel grateful to Han Xiao for not killing her; otherwise, she wouldn't be where she was today.

For a moment, Sylvia was quite emotional.

Intelligence was exchanged for money. Han Xiao paid, and the trader transferred the intelligence. Everyone gathered around to take a look.

"This person came to Norios thirty-eight days ago, taking a cross-star-region flight from the [Ancient Star Desert] star region. He didn't have any special behavior in Norios, and seemed to just be traveling. He last appeared sixteen days ago, at the southern part of City No. 8..."

The detailed address of the target's last known location was written above.

"Sixteen days ago? Is he still in Norios then?" Han Xiao asked.

The trader nodded. "We have internal personnel at the port. Every registered identity ID is on file. He has not left Norios and should still be in that place without moving."

"That's not necessarily the case..." Han Xiao said noncommittally.

Intelligence organizations were not omnipotent. As long as one used disguise and a prepared fake identity ID, it would be easy to fool the informants, like himself.

Moreover, Dragon Emperor's teacher was a prophet!

Having experienced the effects of the Son of Destiny character card so many times, he had some understanding of prophecy. Prophecy was not omniscient and omnipotent, and the future it glimpsed would not be too far from the present. If the other party did not use prophecy, they would be no different from ordinary people. Perhaps the other party did not know that his group was looking for him… but that was wishful thinking; the target should have known long ago!

Prophets were tricky fellows. If they didn't want to be found, it would be too easy to hide with their abilities.

—Just like how Germination had exhausted themselves trying to find him back then.

Han Xiao couldn't be sure of the other party's intentions. If the other party wanted to see Ames, he wouldn't hide. Although he had the Son of Destiny character card, he didn't intend to use it here—because the result wouldn't have much impact on him.

What was important was the act of "searching," while the result was not important. Anyway, as long as he gave Ames some clues, he would have completed the task.

As for whether Ames could see her teacher, Han Xiao didn't care.

Having obtained the desired clues, he led everyone out of the intelligence organization, went straight to the station, and boarded the high-speed maglev train to City No. 8.

The train had many carriages, and the one they were in was a group seating carriage, with the seats around a table.

The scenery outside the window flashed by. Melos was playing cards with the three brothers again, Fording was watching how normal people played cards, Aroshia was eating snacks, and Sylvia was teasing Phillip, who was spinning around non-stop.

Because this trip was just to find someone in Norios, everyone was in a relaxed mood, chatting and laughing. Anyway, Black Star was best at finding things, so everything was up to him, and there was nothing to worry about.

Han Xiao crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

At this moment, a strange man's voice suddenly rang out next to him.

"Can I sit here?"

Opening his eyes, a golden-skinned man was standing next to him, carrying a bag, with a smile on his face. He was a Godoran, but his skin color was very light, as if he wasn't a pure-blooded Godoran.

Feeling a sense of tension in his heart, Han Xiao suddenly became vigilant. He now had a natural wariness toward any mixed-blooded Godorans.

"Who are you?"

"Haha, I seem to be too abrupt. Allow me to introduce myself." This Godoran man bowed elegantly, his tone polite. "My name is Owenne. As you can see, I am a Godoran, but please rest assured, everyone. I am not a high and mighty pureblood. I am just an ordinary mixed-blood of Godoran and a member of the human race. I apologize for disturbing you, but I hope to be companions with you on this short journey."

Everyone looked strange.

A stranger suddenly running over and wanting to make friends with them was strange no matter how one thought about it!

Could it be that someone's charm had attracted this guy?

Everyone first looked at Fording, then at Han Xiao, their eyes shifting back and forth.

Han Xiao pointed to the side. "There are still empty seats over there. If you just want a place to rest, please don't disturb us."

"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand my meaning..." Owenne suddenly sat down, squeezing Melos to the side, as if determined to stay here, with a warm smile on his face, sincerely said: "I am also a traveler who has come to Norios, my companion stayed at the port, only I came to the surface, it is too lonely to be alone, and I like making friends the most, in my hometown there is a saying - 'When you go out, you should generously make friends with strangers, this is the way of a man'."

"Hey, hey, don't squeeze me. We haven't agreed to let you sit down!" Melos said unhappily.

"Oh, you guys are playing Wein Cards?" Owenne saw the cards on the table, his eyes lit up, and he took out a stack of card decks from his backpack, slapped them on the table, and said boldly, "I'm a master of Wein Cards. I use the Glorious Domain deck, and no one has ever been able to beat me. How about it, do you dare to play a game with me?"

"Why are you so familiar with people! Who wants to play cards with you?!" Melos was speechless.

Owenne laughed heartily, his face full of confidence. "Indeed, just playing cards is boring. Let's add some stakes, 50 Enas per game. Do you dare to play a game with me?"

"Yo ho, are you trying to challenge me?" Melos was furious, feeling that his dignity as the "Black Star God of Gamblers" had been challenged… although there were only a few people in the Black Star Mercenary Group anyway.

At the same time, Melos quietly turned his head to look at Han Xiao.

Han Xiao made a gesture, indicating that he allowed it.

He had just investigated Owenne. This Godoran was very weak, and his energy fluctuation was only at the C-grade level. He could crush the other party to death in a second, so he didn't pose much of a threat.

He wanted to see where this Godoran came from and what he was up to, so he simply allowed the other party to stay and observe him up close.
