Grove received a large payment from the Aohan Freedom Alliance but became enraged upon learning that the "Dawn" warship belonged to a company called Black Fire, which had killed one of his former subordinates. He confronted and physically assaulted Kim Sang-geun, demanding to be taken to the "guests" on the ship.

The waitress immediately abandoned any notions of charming Mu Fan.

The woman's refined and cold countenance, her skin as fair as fresh snow...

It was enough to ignite envy in any other woman.

Furthermore, after the waitress inadvertently puffed out her chest, she realized Lu Qingxue hadn't even spared her a glance. Her profound and beautiful eyes, akin to a snow lotus, gazed serenely forward.

An innate nobility that rendered one feel inferior.

But what about the others present?

The waitress discreetly cast her gaze around Mu Fan's companions.

The portly fellow was enthusiastically absorbing photography techniques from Li Xiaoxi.

Everyone was aboard the colossal passenger hoverboard, presenting an ideal setting to practice long-focus lighting effects.

Noticing the waitress's subtly suggestive glance.

The chubby guy and Li Xiaoxi's eyes simultaneously brightened.

The waitress offered a somewhat alluring smile, but upon overhearing their animated discussion, her smile faltered instantly.

"Yes, now transition to a short focus, pay close attention to facial close-ups, observe the forehead wrinkles, those are the most realistic depictions," Li Xiaoxi eagerly instructed, believing the waitress's current angle towards them was perfectly suited.

"Which wrinkle should I capture? There are several," the chubby guy responded instinctively.

The waitress felt a surge of indignation, almost as if her chest would erupt.

She then directed her attention to William.

William responded with a chuckle... "Hehe..."

That simple, honest smile brought to the waitress's mind the thick steaks served at the dining table.

She then glanced at White Hair, her eyes lighting up as she offered a naturally friendly smile.

However, Young Master Yin, upon observing this woman of average looks but a curvaceous figure, also found his eyes drawn to her.

And so it happened...

His eyes suddenly appeared languid, revealing dark blue eyeshadow, accompanied by an even more flirtatious smile, as he extended his tongue to moisten his upper lip.

"Ah~"

The sound emanated from his throat, resembling the soft cry of a kitten.

That particular demeanor...

It was far more provocative than any seasoned professional dancer could muster!

The waitress visibly shivered, abruptly halting her prepared speech.

"Distinguished guests, you are welcome to browse the establishments lining both sides. I shall hand over to my colleague. My apologies, please excuse me."

With that declaration, the buxom waitress seized the moment as the viewing platform aligned with a connecting platform and, in a state of alarm, leaped onto it, making a hasty retreat.

That effeminate, perverted man!

What a total pervert!

It was only at this juncture that Mu Fan took notice of the waitress, turning back with a hint of bewilderment.

White Hair offered a mysteriously charming smile, "She was attempting to challenge me earlier, vying for beauty, so I simply overwhelmed her with my allure."

Having spoken, White Hair struck a pose, showcasing a sculpted profile, adopting an air of cool detachment.

Wealth and authority are but fleeting external acquisitions.

Only one's charm possesses eternal value!

Mu Fan's reaction was...

After a full two seconds elapsed, Mu Fan massaged his forehead and averted his gaze.

He felt that engaging with White Hair had been a significant miscalculation.

Lu Qingxue quietly observed the entire interaction, and as she witnessed Mu Fan's evident exasperation, a breathtakingly beautiful smile graced the corners of her lips.

The hoverboard glided forward, generating a subtle airflow that caressed her ear, gently lifting Lu Qingxue's raven-black tresses and revealing her elegantly swan-like, pale neck.

Precisely at this instant, they traversed an angled transfer junction where hundreds of platforms intersected across the immense and sprawling tracks.

Thousands of onlookers caught sight of Lu Qingxue's unparalleled grace.

"She's so beautiful, like an elf from a snow-capped mountain."

"Like a divine being's daughter."

"Her eyes are as profound as the very stars..."

Fiery gazes were cast her way, accompanied by undisguised admiration.

Perhaps sensing the multitude of eyes converging upon her from all directions, Lu Qingxue subtly furrowed her brow and elegantly extended her slender fingers to intertwine with Mu Fan's right hand.

Feeling the cool, soft touch within his palm, Mu Fan gently clasped her hand.

Instantly, hostile glares converged upon them.

"Hmph!"

Mu Fan let out a frown, his gaze sweeping coldly, sharp as knives!

Some individuals, still undeterred, cast greedy glances at Lu Qingxue's profile.

"Hey, girl..."

Bang!

A burly man, whose head was half-shaved, had just begun to sneer when he was struck with immense force to his chest. His two-meter-tall frame was propelled half a meter through the air before crashing down.

His chest throbbed with excruciating pain, and upon inspecting the damage, he could only gasp in disbelief.

The majority of the armor plating on his chest had been pulverized.

A steel pellet, scarcely larger than a fingernail, was lodged deep within, narrowly missing his sternum.

Now, any attempt to raise his arm sent radiating agony throughout half his body.

"Say that again, and I'll shatter your mouth."

As the two massive hoverboards passed one another, Mu Fan's calm voice cut through the air.

Immediately, fierce expressions flickered across the faces of the large man and his associates.

They lived by the blade; they would not be lectured by some mere child!

Guns...

All firearms were uniformly confiscated.

The burly man, his companions at his side, staggered to his feet, steeling themselves to draw their knives.

Such blades were not forbidden in this place.

For one, this wasn't a domain of peace.

Furthermore, they were merely cold weapons.

But just then, the hoverboards had completely zipped past, leaving a distance of over twenty meters between them.

"Stop them, make them stop for me!"

As the burly man bellowed in anger, his hoverboard careened violently into the edge of the pathway. Instantly, the dozen or so men surged forward, commencing a run along the perimeter of the metal platform.

Within the colossal expanse of the Star Ring passage, human figures were rendered as insignificant as ants.

The hoverboard was akin to a massive palm, whereas the ship's course through the vast passage resembled a true leviathan.

At this very moment, the burly man's frantic pursuit was a mere trifle amidst the bustling and clamorous environment.

"Scoundrels, how dare you lay an ambush for me."

"Inform the Flame Star customs, and tell them to detain that brat!"

Not a single sound escaped the shaved-headed man's lips, only a violent fit of coughing, the agonizing pain causing his temples to flush crimson.

"Yes, boss."

Upon spotting Mu Fan's hoverboard, the men swaggered over.

However, just as they breached the initial throng of people, a hand suddenly materialized beside them, sweeping the shaved-headed man aside with an overwhelming force that sent his forehead crashing onto the platform.

Thud!

A dazzling display of golden stars spun before his vision.

"Get lost."

A frigid voice echoed near his ear.

"Asshole—"

Bam!

The butt of a rifle descended, slamming the shaved-headed man to the ground.

At once, the crowd parted, falling into an imposing, silent stillness.

A fully equipped squad clad in Blue Wing Battle Armor emerged from the rear, their metallic footsteps resonating.

And the individual who had struck the shaved-headed man had flown...

It was Grove!

The burly man's associates simultaneously swallowed hard, retreating into the anonymity of the crowd.

Ka, ka ka...

Thud!

Just as Mu Fan and the others were poised to enter the second portal, a mechanical interlocking sound reverberated.

The immense metal gate, a colossal fifty meters wide...

Slammed shut!
