Chapter 37 Gentle Big Sister, Don't Be Afraid
Finneke Shand stood in the shadows, observing and looking for an opportunity to strike.
A moment later, she finally got her chance.
Omega chased after the floating tray in order to retrieve the doll.
However, due to a long-term lack of training, his running speed was slow, and he was never able to catch up.
She chased after him with all her might, shouting as she tried to get the owner of the tray to stop.
But her shouts were immediately drowned out by the noise of the street, and the other person continued walking.
Omega had no choice but to continue its pursuit.
Before she knew it, she was back in the bustling square, and then turned into another street.
Like a patient hunter, Fennek followed behind calmly and unhurriedly.
Seeing her target fall to the ground after bumping into a pedestrian, and in a panic, she stepped forward, bent down, and extended a hand:
Are you alright?
Her voice was soft, like that of a gentle and kind older sister.
Omega looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange woman with a braid. He unconsciously relaxed his guard.
"I got separated from my friend."
She took Fennek's hand and stood up.
Fennek raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone remaining kind and gentle:
"I can help you find it."
"Don't worry, we'll find them."
A flicker of gratitude crossed Omega's eyes as he followed her down the street.
The two chatted as they walked.
Fennek remained the same gentle older sister, speaking softly and kindly, and even managed to get food for the hungry Omega.
This cunning hunter easily gained his target's trust.
She led Omega quietly toward her spaceship.
The two moved further and further away from the grocery store, but Omega was completely unaware of anything amiss.
When Omega learned that she had ventured into the galaxy alone, he even extended an invitation:
"If you're alone, you can join us."
She looked up at Fennek, her eyes filled with clear sincerity.
Fennek's heartstrings were suddenly plucked.
She seemed to see her younger self in this little girl.
"It's been a long time since I've received such a wonderful invitation."
Meeting those expectant and sincere eyes, she felt her long-frozen heart begin to melt a little.
next moment,
Fragments of memory surfaced in my mind, only to be frozen again.
Time cannot be turned back.
The innocent and kind-hearted girl she once was has long been erased by cruel reality.
Fennek concealed the momentary tenderness in his eyes, instantly reverting to the cold-blooded bounty hunter who only cared about money and not people.
Come on, this way.
Her tone held a subtle tenderness, completely different from her previous pretense.
On the other side...
The hunter weighed the credits he had just acquired, a triumphant smile appearing on his lips.
But when he turned around, the smile on his face froze instantly.
Omega is gone.
His heart sank.
The hunter rushed to the center of the street, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings.
Among the passersby, the familiar little girl was nowhere to be seen.
His breathing suddenly became more rapid.
The hunter forced himself to suppress his panic and quickly calm down.
Especially in times like these, it's crucial to stay calm and avoid making a rash decision.
He crouched down, his gaze sweeping over the ground and his surroundings.
With their keen observation and tracking abilities, they quickly discovered the traces left by Omega.
The hunter quickly got up and followed the tracks.
A discarded toy was found by the roadside.
Having confirmed that he was heading in the right direction, he quickened his pace again.
Finally, Omega and the woman beside her were spotted at the intersection ahead.
"Omega!"
The hunter shouted.
Omega heard a familiar voice and quickly turned around to see the hunter not far away.
She raised her arm and waved at the hunter, excitedly introducing him to Fennek:
"My friend has arrived."
But things soon took an unexpected turn.
The two men faced off tensely, each assuming a fighting stance.
The hunter turned sideways, one hand quietly reaching for the vibrating dagger at his waist.
His blaster was in his bag, and he obviously couldn't take it out at the moment.
Fennek put on the helmet and walked behind Omega.
She placed one hand on Omega's shoulder, crouched down slightly, and reached for the blaster at her waist with the other hand.
The next moment, he suddenly drew his gun and fired.
The hunter quickly rolled to the side, dodging several energy beams.
Taking advantage of Omega's distraction of Fennek, he threw out the Vibration Dagger.
At the same time, they closed in and engaged in close combat.
Although Fennek has only recently become a bounty hunter, his fighting skills and experience are exceptionally refined and seasoned.
After several rounds, she forced the hunter to retreat repeatedly.
Omega was about to step forward to help when the hunter stopped him.
"Omega, run!"
She suddenly realized that she couldn't help and would only distract the hunter.
Omega decisively turned around and ran away.
Seeing his prey disappear into the crowd, Fennek angrily turned and glared at the hunter.
She suddenly lowered her head and slammed her forehead against hers.
boom.
A muffled thud was heard.
The hunter felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.
Fennek was protected by a metal helmet and was naturally unharmed.
She gripped the blaster, really wanting to blow this guy's head off with one shot.
But when he thought of the little girl's innocent eyes and invitation, he ultimately didn't make the move.
She abandoned the hunter and chased after Omega in the direction he had gone.
......
Lance sat on the box, resting as he watched the technicians put the modified signature key back into the spaceship.
Suddenly, he sensed a strong sense of fear and unease within the Force.
Lance's expression changed slightly, and he immediately focused his mind to sense the surroundings.
That emotion stemmed from the Force bond between him and Omega.
Omega has run into trouble.
Lance suddenly looked up at the technician and the obstacle clearing king:
"Something's happened with Omega."
"Technician, hack into the central security system and locate Omega's position."
"King of Obstacles, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the hunter's urgent voice came through the communicator:
"Omega is gone."
The hunter rubbed his still-drowsy head:
"A well-trained woman attacked us."
"She's pursuing Omega."
The King of Clear Barriers' expression changed drastically, and he instantly became enraged, wanting to rush out:
"I'm going to tear that bastard to shreds."
Lance raised his hand to stop him.
The Force was quietly at work, and his words contained a tranquil power:
"You stay here, I'm going to find Omega."
King Qingzhang felt a jolt of energy and quickly calmed down.
He patted his chest heavily:
"Leave this to me."
Lance didn't linger any longer and turned to rush out of the repair shop.
The technician was about to locate the nearest official data port when the hunter's voice came through the communicator again:
"I've made a little noise here. Get the spaceship ready to leave."
The technician looked at the pile of freshly disassembled parts on the floor, his tone tinged with helplessness:
"As of now, it cannot be considered a spaceship."
"Unless you have a whole fleet of repair robots."
Upon learning of the situation over the communication channel, Echo immediately said:
"I'll take care of this."
......
Guided by the Force, Lance sped off in the northwest.
At the same time, he separated a wisp of consciousness and extended it along the Force bond.
"Omega, calm down."
"do not be afraid."
