After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

On the ground, a little girl stormed out of the room and shouted at Black Tiger, "You're so slow, Little Tiger! Where's the medicine I asked you to buy? Hurry up and bring it here!"

A girl about the same age as Black Butterfly, with dark circles under her eyes, also came out: "Alright, Xiaoying, Xiaohu must have had something to do to be late. Keep your voice down, the dean just went to sleep."

Hei Ying put her hands on her hips and said, "Hmph, I'll let you off this time for Sister Shuang's sake."

Black Tiger scratched his head: "Thank you, Little Ying, for sparing my life!"

Black Frost looked up at the hovercar that was gradually disappearing into the distance: "Little Tiger, it's so late, where is your Sister Butterfly going?"

Black Tiger said smugly, "Of course we're going to find the wanted criminals! This time, Black Leaf and I found them together. As long as we can kill them, we'll have money to treat the headmaster!"

Black Frost's eyes darkened: "I understand. Little Tiger, give me the gene repair potion. I'll take care of the dean. You two go to sleep."

Hei Ying pouted and said, "No, I want to wait for Sister Die to come back!"

Black Tiger: "I also want to wait for Sister Butterfly!"

"Listen to me, or you won't grow tall if you don't go to sleep," Black Frost said affectionately. "You need to grow up quickly so you can better protect your family here."

"Okay." The two of them ran away dejectedly.

Black Frost sighed. It was all because of them that Dean Black had gone from being the head of one of the four great families to what he was now.

They were all once homeless people, captured by ogres in black robes and imprisoned in dark, sunless rooms. People would disappear from time to time, and all that could be heard were the screams and cries of their companions.

Until one day, Dean Black appeared with his men, rescued them all, and gave them a warm home.

Dean Blake said that the force that had captured them was terrifying, and in order to prevent them from being captured again, everyone had to abandon their former identities and live here under different names.

The dean abandoned his original family business and began acquiring basic materials scavenged by scavengers. After further processing, he resold these materials to people on other planets.

The business had very low profit margins, but Dean Blake invested all the money he earned into the construction of the orphanage, taking in a large number of orphans and equipping it with a lot of expensive training equipment.

Soon, he went bankrupt and unfortunately contracted a serious illness, which made his life even more difficult.

The uncles in the Black family's guard became mercenaries on other planets, sending money back regularly to support the orphanage's continued operation.

Until one day, the eldest among them, Black Leaf, discovered that many wanted criminals of the Federation were hiding on the nameless planet, and that a considerable reward could be obtained by killing them.

So he partnered with Black Butterfly, the strongest among them. One was in charge of the investigation, and the other was in charge of the execution. They began to take the lives of these wanted criminals, and their orphanage gradually became richer and better.

It's just... I feel bad for Black Butterfly and Black Leaf.

The two little ones, Black Tiger and Black Ying, did not go back to their room to sleep, but instead sneaked out to the backyard and sat side by side.

"Little Tiger, tell me, what exactly is in that brocade pouch that Sister Butterfly has been treasuring?"

Black Tiger, resting his chin on his hand, said, "Hmm...it must be pumpkin candy! It's sweet, and Sister Butterfly will definitely like it!"

"You childish brat! Sister Butterfly isn't like you, all you think about is pumpkin candy!" Hei Ying looked up at the sky. "Sister Butterfly is really amazing. When will I be able to become someone like her?"

On the other side, Black Butterfly drove her hovercar and, under the cover of darkness, quietly landed in the garbage mountain next to the scavenger camp.

Black Leaf, disguised as a scavenger, had been waiting here for a long time.

“Xiaodie, you’re here.” Heiye pointed to the scavenger camp not far away. “I’ve checked. It’s an interstellar pirate group called ‘Axe.’ After being wiped out by the Federation once, the remnants escaped here. There are six of them in total, all of whom are Level 3 wanted criminals by the Federation, with a bounty of 10,000 star coins for each of them.”

Black Butterfly: "I'll take care of it. Black Leaf, wait for me here."

Black Butterfly walked into Black Leaf's blind spot and looked up at the night sky, which was devoid of any stars.

The endless night is her domain.

The black butterfly instantly transformed into a wisp of black particles, like a light butterfly, freely flitting through the darkness, heading towards the main tent of the scavenger camp.

"Boss, we collected quite a bit of protection money today, enough for us brothers to have a good drink for a while," one of the pirates said drunkenly. "Those people from the Federation would never expect us to be hiding in a place like this."

The pirate captain raised his glass: "Well said! Cheers!"

As the crowd celebrated, Black Butterfly had already blended into the pirate captain's shadow. She suddenly appeared, pressed the muzzle of her gun against his heart from behind, and pulled the trigger.

In an instant, blood gushed out, but the pirate leader still had a smile on his lips, and his body went limp and collapsed.

The remaining pirates were terrified and turned to flee. But Black Butterfly gave them no chance, transforming into particles once more and silently circling around to their side before suddenly firing.

"A ghost! Run!"

After a brief period of chaos, the screams stopped, leaving only six corpses lying on the ground.

"Mission accomplished, Black Leaf."

As soon as Black Butterfly finished particle transformation, her heart clenched with pain, her throat tasted sweet, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth.

She casually wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

Years ago, she was captured by a man in white robes and injected with a mysterious potion, transforming her into a monster with particle-like abilities. As her powers gradually strengthened and she used them more frequently, she discovered that using these powers was not without its costs.

She could clearly feel her life force slowly slipping away.

Ultimately, it was a power that shouldn't belong to her... but she didn't care anymore. She was just a worthless life anyway; it was a miracle she'd survived this long. The only thing keeping her going was the desire to become a sharp sword in the hands of a pauper.

As long as we can make the best use of our resources and take revenge on those white-robed men, what does it matter how long we live?

Just then, screams came from outside the tent.

"Ah, you... what are you?!"

A scavenger happened to pass by and witnessed the entire process of the Black Butterfly transforming from a particle into a human. The Black Butterfly showed no mercy and shot the man dead.

Although he was just an innocent passerby, once he saw her secret, he was doomed.

This is what her brother taught her with his life: anyone who threatens her must die. There is no room for kind people here.

Black Butterfly calmly opened her personal terminal, took pictures of their faces one by one, and then forwarded them to Black Leaf, who then sent them to the military to collect the bounty.

Hei Ye's message arrived: "Xiao Die, we're home."
