T4 Skeleton King-class Heavy Space Armored Destroyer - Bridge.
"Welcome to the bridge of our 'Little Skull'." Zhao Chen walked onto the bridge, sat directly on the captain's chair, and then took a deep breath.
He sighed, "It's still the most comfortable to breathe on our own starship."
From the moment Saint Cana boarded the interstellar warship, her eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, trying to gather as much intelligence as possible about it.
But the more she saw, the more shocked she became.
As she walked onto the bridge, her heart sank even deeper.
This is an interstellar destroyer.
Meanwhile, the Holy Radiant Empire also possesses interstellar warships of the same level.
T4 Prophet-class medium-sized interplanetary destroyer.
However, compared to the one in front of her, Saint Cana knew that the difference between the two was enormous.
Perhaps... this interstellar destroyer is very expensive to build, and there aren't many of them.
Saint Cana could only console herself with this excuse at this moment.
"Commander, what's our next step?" Chu Xuan asked Zhao Chen.
"Send the starship out first, a little further away from Star City," Zhao Chen said.
This is to prevent anyone who assassinated Saint Cana from having any other intentions. Being so close to Star City, if they have any weapons, even a Skull King-class space destroyer wouldn't be able to defend against them.
"yes."
beep beep beep
Just then, Saint Cana's handheld terminal flashed.
Saint Cana looked hesitantly at the handheld terminal, then at Zhao Chen.
"Take the call, play it on speakerphone," Zhao Chen said.
Saint Cana hesitated for a moment before clicking on the communication that popped up on her handheld terminal.
A blurry video window appears.
"Sir, our starship has encountered an accident."
Suddenly, some soldiers on the starship rebelled, launched an attack on the other space soldiers, and captured several starship divisions.
We are still fighting for control of the starship.
Fortunately, the bridge is still under our control.
"Sir, what's the situation on your end?"
Has a crew member on the flagship mutinied?
Saint Cana's face darkened; she knew this must be the same group that had tried to assassinate her.
Unexpectedly, these people were truly ruthless, not only attacking him but also trying to destroy his flagship as well.
"Danina, I'm safe for now. I'm entrusting all matters on the starship to you."
You must ensure that the starship is under our control; you don't need to worry about me.
"Once you have the chance, command the starship to leave Star City and contact our Holy Angel Legion!" Saint Cana gave the order.
"But it's too dangerous for you out there, my lord. Should I send someone to protect you?" Danina, the subordinate, asked with concern.
Perhaps because she couldn't see the images, the woman on the other side, Danina, didn't see that her Commander Saint Cana had now become a prisoner.
"No need... I... I'm probably safe now." Saint Cana said with a wry smile, glancing at Zhao Chen sitting in the captain's chair.
In the current situation, no one can save her, and at the same time, she is in some ways the safest.
If this man really wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have come to my rescue.
"Very well, I will definitely ensure the safety of this starship! Please rest assured, Lady Saint Cana!"
Communication was interrupted at this point.
"You actually trust your subordinates that much?" Zhao Chen looked at Saint Cana.
Saint Cana said calmly, "She is my adjutant and one of the deputy commanders of the Holy Angel Legion."
She stared at Zhao Chen: "Speak, you brought me here... to save me... what is your purpose?"
Purpose?
Of course, it's for the mission rewards.
However, the system has not yet shown that the task has been completed, which leaves Zhao Chen unsure of what to do with the woman.
Never mind, she's in my hands now, so that's the safest thing for me.
As for when the system task will be declared complete, I'll consider how to deal with her after that.
"Chu Xuan, take them all away..."
Just as Zhao Chen was about to give the order.
A notification sound appeared in Zhao Chen's mind.
【Quarterly mission update...】
【Quarterly Tasks】
Task: Please increase Saint Cana's trust level with the host.
A trust score of 60 is considered passing, and you can claim the basic reward.
You can claim a bronze treasure chest once your trust level reaches 70.
You can claim a silver treasure chest once your trust level reaches 80.
Reaching a trust level of 90 will allow you to claim a golden treasure chest.
Zhao Chen was taken aback and checked the time.
Unexpectedly, it's now April, just in time to refresh the quarterly tasks.
What was even more unexpected was that this quarter's mission was still related to Saint Cana.
Why bother farming Saint Cana's trust points?
System, are you kidding me?
I just attacked someone's Holy Angel Legion, and now they want me to increase their trust level.
This is like touching a tigress's butt and expecting her to rub against you and lift you up high.
"Commander? What did you just say about how to deal with them?" Chu Xuan didn't hear the second half of the sentence and asked curiously when she saw Zhao Chen's strange expression.
"They... except for Saint Cana, all the others will be detained for now. As long as they do not do anything threatening, their basic living conditions will be guaranteed."
"As for Miss Saint Cana, she can stay on my bridge for now." Zhao Chen said the last sentence while looking at Saint Cana.
At this moment, in Zhao Chen's eyes, Saint Cana would appear with every thought.
The above shows the trust value.
【Trust Value: -30】
This thing is actually negative?
This was only after I saved her; before that, wouldn't I have been in the negative seventy or eighty?
Never mind, let's take it slow.
Anyway, there are no penalties for the tasks this quarter, so do what you can, and we'll deal with it when you can't.
And there are still three months left.
"Yes." Although Chu Xuan didn't understand why Zhao Chen wanted to leave Saint Cana on the bridge, she still ordered her people to do so.
Saint Cana's subordinates, seeing that they were about to be taken away, also started shouting.
"Let me go! What do you want to do to Lady Saint Cana?"
"Lord Saint Cana! Lord Saint Cana!"
"I warn you, if you dare to harm Lady Saint Cana, the Holy Radiant Empire will not let you off!"
As these Saint Cana subordinates were led off the bridge, things finally quieted down.
“Give our Miss Saint Cana a seat, don’t let her stand all the time.”
"Take off the handcuffs too," Zhao Chen said.
"yes."
A chair was placed not far from Zhao Chenjian's bench.
The handcuffs on Saint Cana's wrists were also removed.
However, the leopard woman remained within a meter of Saint Cana, her eyes fixed on her as if she were watching prey.
If Saint Cana makes any rash move, she can subdue her immediately.
Saint Cana touched her wrist, sat down in the chair, and looked at the man with a puzzled expression.
What exactly does this man want to do?
