Chapter 80 I will comply.

-You better have a good explanation for this incident.

I trusted you, and this is what I get in return.

Andrew said the moment the Tenera answered his hail.

The human was beyond pissed at the moment but his voice remained calm and cold.

-I cannot explain this attack, I was unaware that they intended to open fire on your station.

The Elf answered, her voice trembling with fear and shock at what just happened.

-Then can you tell me who they are at least and why the hell did they come here?

He asked.

-All I know is that they are from the Adurian council and they got permission from the guild to accompany us to look for their lost ship.

I have no clue why they suddenly attacked you.

-That might be because if I'm not mistaken, their lost ship is sitting in my hangar.

Andrew said after thinking about it for a moment.

-Whatever the case they just attacked me without provocation and I want to know what are you planning to do about it.

He asked.

-According to the guild rules you have defended yourself so there are no consequences for you, but the captain of that ship, is another matter.

If you do not plan on finishing them off, then we would like to take them to the guild to explain their actions and they will be severely punished for what they did.

Andrew thought about it for a moment.

-You can take the captain of the ship, but the vessel stays here, I claim it as my prize.

The human said, surprising them.

-That's your right under the guild rules.

Tenera said, agreeing.

-As for the damage to your station, the guild will cover the repair cost as it was our fault for bringing them here.

She added a moment later.

-Agreed, and by the way, can you explain who is the other merchant and why they are here?

Andrew asked, wanting to avoid any other surprises.

-You can ask her yourself.

The Elf said and Added the other merchant to the channel, but this merchant showed her face, unlike the elf.

The moment Andrew saw the alien woman, he already knew why she was there.

-If my guess is correct, you are looking for three children, right?

He asked just to be sure.

-Yes, how do you know?

The merchant asked.

-Because you look similar, and the three of them are on my station.

The merchant immediately started asking questions about their state and how they ended up on his station.

Andrew explained, making the merchant sigh in relief.

It turned out that the three girls were her nieces and they simply vanished a few days ago when they were visiting her at the merchant guild.

At the same time, the drone ship and all its fighters went missing, so she started to search for them immediately.

Knowing that the ship was supposed to be delivered to this galaxy and this sector, she focused on searching here and now she got lucky enough to find them.

-Will you agree to release them?

The alien asked.

-Yes, you can come and get them, but right now they are asleep after being healed from their injuries.

Andrew said.

He had nothing against returning the children to their aunt, especially when he saw how concerned about them she was.

While he was talking with the other merchant, Tenera was talking to her brother, or to be more precise she was getting scolded by Terelen.

The Elf was more than pissed at the whole situation and the moment he returned to the guild, he would report it along with all the evidence his ship gathered.

This was not only an attack using the guild as a cover, but it also impacted the trust, he had built between Andrew and himself.

-Andrew, the ship just dropped an escape pod with one life sign on board.

Lanarine said.

A moment later the ship exploded, sending pieces of wreckage flying in all directions.

Luckily the station still had its shields raised which absorbed all of the impacts.

The three merchant ships also managed to raise their shields so there was no damage, but now not only Andrew but all three merchants were pissed as all hell.

-I'm going after the pod.

Terelen said and his ship moved at an incredible speed.

In less than five minutes he caught up to the escape pod and captured it, before returning to the station.

-Do you want to interrogate this individual together?

The Elf asked, silently hoping that Andrew would agree.

-Put the pod in Hangar three, I'll be right there.

Andrew said, and left the command center, with Aelita in charge.

He went to get his armor and weapons.

A few minutes later, Andrew, Terelen, Tenera, and Iliana were surrounding the escape pod.

Seeing Tenera for the first time the human finally understood why Terelen wanted a taller body.

His sister was a bit taller than even Andrew.

The first thing she did when she came aboard the station, was to personally apologize once more for the incident that left his station damaged.

Andrew accepted her apology, and they went to see what the captain of the destroyed frigate had to say for himself.

Terelen opened the pod and the moment the lid fell off of it, they saw a person from Ilia's species.

The Adurian captain turned out to be a woman and the moment she got out of the escape pod she attacked Andrew.

The human dodged her kick, and when she tried to follow up with her fist, suddenly her world swirled and she hit the deck with a thud.

Groaning in pain.

The next moment she was turned around on the floor and something heavy and hard slammed into her back pinning her down.

The woman tried to get away but it was no use and soon both her hands were cuffed behind her back, along with her legs.

Andrew used the same method as when he captured Iliana, but this time he didn't care if he hurt the woman or not.

Unable to do anything the Adurian woman stopped struggling.

Once she was cuffed, Andrew stood up, removing his knee from the woman's back and getting her up to her feet.

-Who are you and why did you attack my station?

The human asked.

-I have nothing to say to you.

The woman said and spat in his face right before a fist struck her face and knocked her back down.

To everyone's surprise, it was Iliana who struck the prisoner and she kicked the woman in her stomach for good measure.

-Who the hell do you think you are?

She asked the woman who was again groaning in pain.

-Now you will tell my master what he wishes to know, or you will become my test subject on the pain tolerance and endurance of our race.

Ilia said angrily, lifting the woman's head by her hair to look her in the eyes.

This behavior totally surprised Andrew and the two elves, not to mention everyone who was watching through Andrews's helmet camera.

They all knew that the doctor knew martial arts, but other than Andrew, this was the first time they saw her beat someone up.

Then they all got shocked even more when Iliana pulled her hair aside and showed the captured Adurian the tattoo on her neck.

The moment she did, the prisoner's eyes went wide with shock, and right next second she was pressing her forehead to the metal floor.

-I beg your forgiveness, my lady.

I will comply.

The enemy captain said her voice terrified and she was visibly shaking.
