Exodus TalesExodus Tales

Neither ship planned on giving up. No matter how hard the insectoid ship tried, it simply could not get Xia Fei off its tail. Wherever it warped, Xia Feis Lunar Eclipse was on its tail.

The insectoid ship was a destroyer, whereas Xia Fei had a frigate. The two ships had at least a five-time difference in size.

In theory, the natural predator of the frigate was the larger destroyer, but in reality, it was Xia Fei who was using his frigate to chase after the destroyer, harassing the enemies relentlessly.

It was just like a game of cat and mouse, but there was a twist on how it was being played. In this instance, it was the cat that was constantly dodging, resisting, and trying to escape, whereas Xia Fei the mouse, which had bitten the cats tail, was refusing to let go. From time to time, he could even reach out and poke the cats butt.

The commander of the insectoid destroyer started off nervous then angry and eventually slightly crazed.

He couldnt fathom why Xia Feis Lunar Eclipse had so many different weapons installed; sonic, EMP, cannons, missiles, and radar inhibitors were some of which. Each was more abnormal and wretched than the next.

Battling Xia Fei was like a soldier running into a thug on the streets. Even if one could not kill him, the disgust one would feel from the fight was enough to push them over the edge.

Just as the insectoid ship was about to retaliate using its main cannon, Xia Fei used his firing systems and pitched a disruptor bomb to jam the enemy, forcing the troubled gunner to have to lock-on Xia Fei again.

But before the lock-on was completed, Xia Fei pitched another disruptor bomb.

The incredibly experienced gunner was so flustered that he was on the verge of tears. Can you please go easy on me? Cant you fight honorably? How long do you plan on using underhanded means like this?

Xia Fei did not care for the enemys feelings as he continued to battle his way. As long as the Lunar Eclipses weapon systems were still operational, Xia Fei would keep sending the insectoid ship his regards.

Means? They were already at this stage, so who cared about the means used? It did not matter whether it was black or white; a mouse that caught the cat was a good mouse.

It was never a fair fight. From Lunar Eclipses appearance, it would seem just like any normal frigatesomething that could be found anywhere all across the universe.

However, this average-looking frigate seemed wild and crazy in battle. Using a frigate to chase an insectoid destroyer, to the point where the crew would rather kill themselves, was not simply an uncommon occurrence but rather completely out of the ordinary.

Xia Fei had been careful this entire time as he whittled down the enemys defenses and maneuverability, never once going for the critical systems. He was hoping that he could capture the ship without needing to make it explode.

Xia Fei was doing this as he feared Xiaoyu was on the ship.

Xiaoyu was the most obedient girl Xia Fei had met, and everything that came out of her mouth always sounded incredibly innocent, so losing her would make anyone angry. Xia Fei would never live it down if his mistakes resulted in Xiaoyu losing her life.

The insectoid ship warped again, forcing Xia Fei to stop and wait. It would take from one to ten minutes each warp, and he would immediately warp to the new location and continue his pursuit.

There was an emergency call from HQ on the screen of the communications system. Xia Fei tapped on it to accept the call.

Xia Fei, what is your situation? Robert asked in a serious tone.

Xia Fei quickly went over the situation thus far.

Robert nodded. Youve done well. We cant let this insectoid ship go. If you cant stop it, you have my permission to destroy it no matter the cost.

Xia Fei did not seem phased. I will try my best to stop it.

Xia Fei only agreed to try his best to stop the ship, but he did not promise to destroy it. It was not difficult at all for Xia Fei to sink it as Lunar Eclipse still had a few tricks up its sleeve.

When equipping the ship, Xia Fei included his concept of a victory with a price; thus, the ship was decked with many weapons that would destroy indiscriminately, even crazy weapons that would end up destroying himself and the enemy in the process.

Now, he would rather the ship escape than sink it, not using any of his crazy weapons for they were completely off the tables. If it escaped, at least Xiaoyu had a lifeline; if it sank, he feared that Xiaoyu would only live in his memories.

Very good. Major General Torres from the border forces wants to speak with you. His troops are patrolling the perimeter of the buffer zone.

The screen flashed, and a few seconds later, a middle-aged man in a military uniform appeared in front of Xia Fei.

Major General Torres had the classic look of someone who had spent most of their life in the army. He had wide jaws, tanned skin, and a piercing gaze as sharp as an eagle.

Young man, its me, the chief inspector of the border forces stationed at the Endaro Star Region. Report your name, ship number, and position as an Adjudicator, Major General Torres said in a serious voice.

Nice to meet you, Major General; Im Xia Fei from the Heaven Execution Training Camp in the Adjudicator Union.

Major General Torres scratched his fully stubbled chin and nodded. The Heaven Execution Training Camp was incredibly well-known in the Alliance, and anyone who could enter the camp would most certainly be decent. Major General Torres had quite a favorable impression of Xia Fei, but the latters next statement almost broke this military man.

Im a librarian in the camp, Xia Fei reported casually.

Major General Torres raised an eyebrow as he could barely believe it.

Robert, why do you have a librarian chasing after spies? Is there no one else at the Adjudicator Union? Major General Torres curiously asked; the slightest trace of mockery could be detected in the tone he used.

Librarians would always be associated with bookishness, cowardice, inaction, people who buried their glasses into piles and piles of books, and other negative images no matter where it was. Major General Torres was most definitely no exception.

Robert was slightly embarrassed as he had been the one who brought Xia Fei into the training camp in the first place. He thought that Xia Fei had an impulse that nobody else had, and that impulse could come in handy to the Union in the future.

He never expected that out of so many branches, Xia Fei would end up becoming a librarian. He was very disappointed by this fact and even slightly regretted his initial decision.

Hehe! No matter what, its still someone from the Adjudicator Union who discovered these insectoid spies. The military hasnt discovered a single thing, Robert calmly retorted.

Hmph. Ignoring Robert, Major General Torres spoke to Xia Fei again. Report your and the enemys position immediately; I have four ships patrolling nearby, well be able to go over as fast as possible and make sure that the spies wont escape.

Xia Fei was slightly shocked. The military had always been known for their unyielding spirit. If they got involved, would they not use heavy weapons to shoot down the enemy ship? If so, he would lose his only chance to retrieve Xiaoyu, and that was something Xia Fei did not want to see.

After a few moments, Xia Fei said, I need the military to guarantee that they wont do any harm to that insectoid ship. They must be captured alive.

Major General Torress eyes widened and said menacingly, Mr. Librarian, this is an order and not a request for your opinion; you dont get to have a say in what we do.

Of course, as someone from the military, Torres spoke clearly and seriously. He was quite frightened at this moment, and someone a bit more of a coward might have wet themselves.

Are you trying to pressure me by using the militarys name? asked Xia Fei, smiling. Im sorry, but Im not your subordinate, so your orders dont apply to me. Unless you can guarantee the safety of the insectoid ship, theres no point in us continuing this conversation.

Xia Fei was not loud, but it was certainly clear, conveying his thoughts respectfully yet showing no room for negotiations. Xia Fei could ignore their orders, but there was no reason for him to burn bridges.

Do you think that I cant throw you in jail? Do you think I cant bomb you into smithereens? Do you think I cant blow your brains out?

Torres let out one thread after another. Unfortunately, the words meant nothing to Xia Fei as he had already made up his mind.

Sorry, said Xia Fei.

Alright, not disclosing intel, huh? You must be a double agent of the insectoids; Ill send out the order and get the whole universe after you right now. Major General Torres exploded in his rage. He was pretty close to pulling a gun on Xia Fei.

Xia Fei looked down to check his tracking system. It had been five or so minutes since the insectoid ship disappeared. It appeared that they had warped quite far away this time, making them harder to track.

Is this what your subordinates are like? Take a look at this guy; Robert, are you just going to let this happen? Major General Torres got even angrier as he was ignored by Xia Fei once again, turning around to express his anger at Robert.

Robert might seem like a pleasant old man most of the time, but he did not have the best temper. Thus, he said with a straight face, Major General Torres, its our business what we do with our subordinates; please refrain from commenting.

This was also directed at Xia Fei.

Xia Fei understood immediately. He should do this as well as he could and not give the military leverage.

Major General Torres, we at the Adjudicator Union are logical. We also care deeply about the safety of the Alliance. Ill tell you the position myself.

Xia Fei understood Roberts intention and immediately did a one-eighty. Before Torres could take that in, Xia Fei said, My position is

Oh, no! There are electromagnetic interferences in this area; my radar is malfunctioning! My goodness! The positioning system is malfunctioning, too!

Xia Fei presented an incredibly realistic act as he fumbled around in the ship with a serious look on his face. With a tap of his finger, Xia Fei promptly cut off communications.

Robert leaned back in his chair after dealing with the major general. After a few moments, he received a call from Ye Jingshan, who was anxiously waiting for news.

Whats the situation? Ye Jingshan hastily asked.

Robert shook his head. Consider it a failure.

Consider?

Yes, our plan was to put Xia Fei and Xiao Haili into a closed space and see if the latter would do anything to the former. If he did try and hurt Xia Fei, his identity as a spy would be exposed, and the three teams from the classified investigations department would apprehend Xia Haili immediately.

Ye Jingshan nodded. The both of us came up with the plan together. Weve thought of everything, so how could it have failed?

Everything? Robert sighed. Guess what? The people from the classified investigations met a group of Blood Raiders with unknown motives. Three silver and six bronze Adjudicators died for nothing. Even Xiao Haili and Queiroz were added to the list of casualties.

Our plan completely failed. Not only would we never know if Xiao Haili was a spy, it cost the lives of eleven Adjudicators. Eleven! yelled Robert in frustration. The glorious Team 13 will never make an appearance in the Endaro Star Region again.

Robert then loosened the button to his collar, grabbed a bottle of spirit from his drawer, opened it, and chugged straight from the bottle. No matter what, Xiao Haili was still his disciple, and he would struggle not to blame himself for that. Right now, headquarters was still waiting for him to make a report, but he did not know if he could do it.

Robert did not go through the nitty-gritty. After having some of his thoughts cleared up, Ye Jingshan asked, What about Xia Fei? Is he alright?

Xia Fei. Robert felt helpless. They all died, but Xia Fei lives. Who knows what got into the boy, but he refuses to let the military join in with the chase for the Blood Raiders. That even caused a fight between me and Major General Torres.

From what I gathered, he seems to have something else in mind as he wants to capture the Blood Raiders alive, refusing to sink their ship. Im so confused; why does Xia Fei bring trouble wherever he goes? I cant even count how many problems he has created since the assessment.

Ive made my mind up; we cant let him stay no matter what. Expel him when he comes back. Any of those problems hes created this time is enough for expulsion. Genius or not, I can only handle so many problems on my plate right now, complained Robert to Ye Jingshan.

It was not just that Xia Fei refused to take orders. The death of Xiao Haili and the other members of the classified investigations team was also tied to Xia Feis name.

He was actually partly to blame here, for using Xia Fei as bait to check if Xiao Haili was a spy was his and Ye Jingshans idea.

Knowing that Xia Fei attracted problems yet still pushing him into problems, who else was there to blame?

After a few moments, Ye Jingshan complained, Robert, I cant expel him. Not only can I not expel him, I must be careful myself.

Robert was still guzzling alcohol down his gullet, so it was a good thing he did not do a spit take when he heard that.

Why? Why cant you expel students as the commander of the training camp? asked Robert as he wiped his mouth using his sleeve.

Finally, the marking system detected where the insectoid ship landed, and Xia Fei was just preparing to go after them.

Before entering the wormhole, Xia Fei was shocked to receive a star regional wanted notice.

My goodness; Im actually wanted.
