The Truth and Beacon City

Xia Fan's ship, the Disaster, took off, quickly leaving the Chaos Eagle Empire behind and heading deeper into the Outer Frontier.

It normally took eight days to travel from the Chaos Eagle Empire to the Char Star Region, but the Disaster had a Mechanical Core, so it was three times as fast as an ordinary frigate. Thus, it only needed three days to make the journey.

On long voyages, one would normally put the ship on autopilot mode, setting a course for the main computer. It was very convenient, as the ship only needed to follow the course that was pre-set.

Xia Fan's hands flew across the control panel, quickly finishing setting the course, after which he brought Traveling Buddha to the storage hold in the level below.

When the door opened, Traveling Buddha realized to his shock that the storage hold was holding four people.

One was none other than the Imperial City Chief Steward's son, Padu!
