Chapter 322: Dad, Your Shame [Part 2]

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It felt like punching a sack of cotton; the target not even acknowledging the bait they threw out. Before the guy could say anything else, the beautiful woman Cary and the others were ogling stepped forward with a fake smile on her face. Shusag’s eyes were immediately fastened on her long, white legs.

The beautiful lieutenant commander looked at Cary’s group and said, “It’s a shame you guys had already left by the time I took over. We could’ve been comrades in arms.”

“Oh, so you’re the one who took over our squad,” Leaning against the passage wall, Eudy commented while swiping at the tail of the naughty chameleon who was trying to block his vision with its tail.

The woman gave him a smile before saying, “I never understood why you lot were willing to give up everything to join Cillin and restart from zero, when you could’ve stayed in the Sixth B Squadron or joined another squadron. Not all of you might be qualified to become a lieutenant commander, but you would still be treated a lot better than you are now, right? Experience wise you’re not inferior to Cillin, and ability wise many people have heard of your reputation.”

No one responded to her this time. Cary and the gang simply pretended that she was silent this whole time and continued their admiration.

At this point, Eudy was fully annoyed with Dough. He knew that the chameleon was bored, so he grabbed its tail and tossed it into the workshop where Cillin and Wheeze were, he said, “Don’t cause trouble.”

The woman didn’t grow frustrated despite the lack of responses and looked at Shusag this time. The old man had been staring at her legs all this time, and he looked like an easier target.

Simon would’ve stopped her if he was here. Her eye for people ultimately wasn’t as good as her commander’s.

“Is this a new member?” The lieutenant commander put on a perfect smile and started walking toward Shusag. However, she suddenly froze before her foot could land properly on the floor. Shusag’s claws were in front of her before she could react! She couldn’t even see his movement clearly until it was too late!

Everyone else present at the scene didn’t fare much better than her. The stronger ones such as Cary could only see a blur, and the weaker ones didn’t see a thing at all. In their view, it was as if the guy had suddenly teleported from one location to another. But one way or another, no one here could claim that they could move out of harm’s way before Shusag reached them.

Silence filled the hallway for a time. The new faces behind the two lieutenant commanders immediately raised their firearms and pointed them at Shusag, but they were quickly stopped by the guy. He didn’t want to worsen the atmosphere more than it already was, and clearly Shusag wasn’t intending to harm his comrade. And even if he was wrong, he didn’t think anyone on his side could live the moment they started shooting. Shusag had clearly proven his ability with this act.

The five long finger bones glimmered coldly under the light. They looked like they were positioned at random, but a person who was familiar with the vein of the human body would notice that Shusag’s claws were pointed at the common carotid artery, the subclavian artery, the aortic arch, the axillary artery and the trachea respectively.

He didn’t point his claw at the woman’s heart because it was normally viewed as a deeply humiliating act. They were in the same hunter regiment, so it wouldn’t be right to go overboard, right?

It was impossible to know what the lieutenant commander’s expression would look like if she could hear Shusag’s thoughts. Would she thank him for saving her some face, or would she be furious instead?

The corners of Tico’s curled up a little. She was a doctor, so she clearly understood what Shusag was doing. Their new crewmate was turning out to be very capable.

That wasn’t the end of Shusag’s actions, however. He moved closer to the woman like a drunken hoodlum looking for a good time, but the claw arm he was using to threaten her with didn’t wobble in the slightest. At the same time, he moved his normal hand lightly down her waist before trailing her white thighs with his claw, using just enough strength to transmit a shiver, but not strong enough to leave a scratch. In another place, this would’ve been a tantalizing sight for sure.

Tang Qiuqiu facepalmed, despairing at the fact that her squad was made of a bunch of human trash and worrying for the future of Dias’ two year old son. What would he grow up to become in an environment like this? She prayed that Dias wouldn’t suffer too big of a heart attack if her fears turned out to be true.

On the other side, Tesoro felt like slipping into a crack on the ground and pretending that he didn’t exist. Ever since the old hoodlum left the Mist Bodhisattva Empire, he had changed from a covert pervert to an overt one! Dad! How could you harrass a woman right in front of your son and a bunch of minors!? Where is your shame? Did you pickle it in sauce just like you did your vegetables?!

Tang Qiuqiu, Sha Rou and Tesoro cursed in their heads in unison: “Old pervert!”

Cary’s mouth had turned into an O-shape. He thought to himself, damn, experience really does count! Tsk tsk, just look at his skill level, how exciting!

The harassed woman’s face had turned deathly pale, but not because she was angry at Shusag’s disgusting behavior. It was because his eyes looked absolutely terrifying. She could not explain why she felt this way, only that it was contradictory to the act he was putting on. His smile was frivolous, and his speech was sloppy, but everything seemed unclear the moment she looked into his eyes. One thing was certain though, the pressure on her person was about as real as it could get.

She wanted to say something, but she found it difficult to even squeeze out a word. The two claws touching her neck and her skin transmitted a kind of chill that could only be forged with rivers of blood.

What a terrifying man!

The onlookers might think that he was harassing her or playing a game with her, but she knew that they were completely wrong. The chill hidden behind his exaggerated behavior was beyond indescribable.

Shusag moved next to her ears and whispered, “Your moves are too low, try something better next time. Also, always make sure you get the right target before you speak, or it may just backfire on you.”

After that, Shusag withdrew his claws and returned to his original spot. He scratched his hair and took out his cigarette, but Tesoro snatched it from his hands before he could take a smoke, “This is a non-smoking area.”

“Fine, I’ll smoke after we get back to our ship,” Shusag rescued his cigarette from his son as quick as lightning before storing it carefully in his pockets.

Eudy gave Shusag a thumbs-up and said, “Not bad!”

The smiling old man tilted his head and responded with a half-truth, “Ai, it’s either adapt or die, you know.”

It was at this moment Cillin finally finished with his packing and stepped out of the workshop. He noticed the unusual atmosphere but chose not to comment on it. Beckoning to the others, he said, “C’mon, it’s time to go back.”

Before they left, Shusag turned around and gave a couple of young women a flying kiss. It was only when Tesoro kicked him in the leg before he finally ran back to the group.

After the Eleventh Squad was finally gone, Simon asked his lieutenant commanders, “What do you guys think?”

No one answered him because they had no idea what to say. Their courage had been deflated before they figured out their crews’ true strength, and their commander… they weren’t stupid. Only a complete idiot would continue poking the hornet’s nest after the “good time” Shusag had shown them.

Simon didn’t get angry despite the lack of responses. He simply stared at the departing ship on his monitor and fell silent for a very, very long time.

Back to Cillin. After he took back Enji’s items, he had placed them at his own workshop temporarily. They were all very precious treasures.

“Where do we go next, commander?” Cary asked eagerly.

Sector Z had almost been divided completely, so there was nothing a newly established squadron like them could claim. Moreover, there were currently too many forces residing in Sector Z. It was too easy to provoke someone whether it was intentional or not, and the vultures and hyenas would swoop in the moment a conflict began. Therefore, the best way to replenish their resources and collect more information right now was to leave Sector Z.

They couldn’t travel to the top three Sectors because the situation there was even worse than Sector Z. The ten business Sectors were also a no-go because they were dominated by great powers. Therefore, the backwater Sectors were the only Sectors they could operate with relatively bigger freedom.

The question was, which backwater Sector did they want to travel to?

Sector S used to be a prison Sector, but that was no longer the case. A big riot had turned the place upside down, and the former prisoners who used to be imprisoned in the high level prisons suddenly became deadly threats. The three great underground forces were also duking it out at Sector S right now, so this wasn’t the time to go searching for Genya’s logbook.

Sector V was currently screaming about becoming independent and forming a liberties union or something. Only a masochist would go there and seek self-flagellation via war.

A discussion later, the crew eventually decided to travel to Sector T. It was the Sector where Cillin had encountered Wheeze the first time, and Sector T was famous for its abundance of alien animals. There, they would stock up on meat and make a quick buck via hunting while they plotted their next move.

However, right after they entered Sector T, they encountered a seemingly inactive transport ship that was broadcasting an intermittent distress signal. They detected no other activity from the ship besides that.

“What’s going on?” Cillin asked to Moon.

Moon shrugged a little before answering, “That ship is not responding to our communications attempts, and I can’t get much information out of it because something is wrong with its power system. There is one thing I can confirm though. If that ship is carrying a crew, then they must all be dead already.”
