Chapter 464: Loot
Being in a ship full of B-Grades, crossing the vast cosmos at unimaginable speeds, returning to action after a month of relaxing with his family… Jack would be lying if he said this wasn’t a little bit off putting. Yet, he was used to it. This was his life. Some instinct kicked in, making him ready to face everything despite his hesitation.
“How long is this going to take, sovereign?” he asked.
Heavenly Spoon looked up from his space ring. “Hmm, about five days. The Systemless galaxy we’re fighting in is not that far from your Milky Way.”
“And you said this was an order of Elder Boatman?”
“Right.”
Jack nodded. It made sense—their master-disciple relationship aside, Jack carried the death cube, an object which Elder Boatman deeply treasured. Yet, Jack couldn’t help wondering—how much of saving him was due to the cube, and how much was due to Jack himself?
“By the way,” he asked again, “will we pass close by the Heaven Egg galaxy?”
“Not really,” the sovereign replied. “Why?”
“I left something there, but… It’s okay. I’ll pick it up later.”
