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

Leng Ran's hands were tied behind her back, and she was taken to the command room by the robbers.

She tried to break free: "Let go of me, I can walk by myself!"

Seeing that Leng Ran was relatively cooperative, the robbers did not take a hard line. They simply sent Warren and Richie with weapons to escort Leng Ran.

Leng Ran arrogantly said, "Hey, what's the name of your interstellar pirate crew? You've kidnapped the eldest princess and me, you can't be nameless, can you?"

Richie replied, "A pirate crew is a pirate crew, what else is there to call it?"

She stared at him with wide eyes and said coldly, "Of course you do! How could you not have a cool name?"

Valen tapped Leng Ran on the back: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"

A chill ran down his spine, and then a sharp pain shot through him. He snapped, "How about I give you a more imposing name?"

Richie became interested: "What's the name?"

He chuckled coldly, his expression seemingly harmless: "The Shark Bill Pirate Crew. Ten thousand years ago, there was a shark named Bill who was the ruler of the ocean, while you are the rulers of the stars. Isn't that interesting?"

Shark Bill, or as it's called... well, it's just "Sharkby" for short.

Renn, hidden in the shadows, smirked. This kid was definitely not a simple hostage; perhaps they could cooperate.

"That's a powerful name!" Richie's eyes lit up instantly.

Valen smacked Leng Ran on the back even harder: "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go!"

It did hurt quite a bit, but she also realized that these kidnappers weren't very intelligent and probably weren't specifically targeting the eldest princess's kidnapping.

This greatly increases the chances of rescuing the eldest princess.

She noticed that Richie was easier to fool, so she moved closer to him and said, "Brother, judging from your appearance, you're a genius with exceptional talent! It's such a waste for a genius like you to be in a nameless pirate crew."

Leng Ran continued to coax, "Such a good name, of course we should report it to your boss. Maybe if the boss is happy, he'll reward you with the position of captain?"

Richie was indeed tempted and immediately tried to open his communicator to make a call, but Warren slapped him across the face.

Just when Leng Ran thought Warren had figured it out, he took out the communicator he used to contact Joey and looked at Richie triumphantly.

"I'm your captain! You think you can steal my credit? No way!"

Leng Ran: ...I still overestimated him.

Richie got up from the ground: "Why are you always the captain? The commander's son said I'm a genius! He must be right!"

Then the two started fighting, and no one paid any attention to Leng Ran anymore.

This time, she was coldly shocked. She had expected these space pirates to be unprofessional, but surely not this amateurish?

If Leng Ran were the only person on the starship, she would have acted without hesitation. Unfortunately, the eldest princess was still in the hands of the pirate captain, and she was the reason she had risked her life to come here.

Just as he was about to head to the command room alone, Leng Ran suddenly heard a voice.

"Hello, He Xiting. I am Renn, the royal guard knight."

Someone has touched her spiritual depths! It's a telepathic connection!

She didn't make any unnecessary movements so as not to arouse suspicion from the two idiots behind her or Joey, who might be watching the surveillance.

"Pirate leader Joey, a second-level wanted criminal of the Empire, frequently appears on the border between the Empire and the Chaotic Zone. He has a level four physique and a level one mental strength. I can handle him, but..."

Rein paused for a moment: "According to my investigation, nearly half of the starship's cabins are equipped with remote-controlled bombs. If they explode, the entire starship will be destroyed instantly. There are at least two bomb controllers, which should be in Joey's possession."

Leng Ran's eyes flickered slightly. He had to kill Joey before he caused the explosion. If he failed, all three of them would lose their lives here!

She was bound by a restriction ring, which prevented her from using her mental power normally. She couldn't give the other party any response and could only use subtle gestures to hint at things to Rein.

Leng Ran found a place to sit down, rubbing his head: "Ugh, you guys are giving me a headache, I don't even want to move."

Translation: Attack his mental state, preventing him from pressing the bomb controller in time.

Renn, hidden in the shadows, understood: "Unfortunately, my mental strength is not at level three, so I cannot do this."

One's mental strength level must be two levels higher to instantly control the opponent, and it must be at least level three.

Then, Leng Ran tugged at his restraint ring again: "If it weren't for this piece of junk I was wearing, I'd show you guys a thing or two."

Translation: I can do it, but the limiting ring needs to be removed.

Raine was very surprised. He Xiting's mental strength was at level three? Wasn't he supposed to be a lone soldier? Could the intelligence be wrong?

Now is not the time to dwell on this. Rein thought about where he had seen the device to remove the restraint ring before, and it seemed to be on a pirate in the rear cabin!

Rein quickly replied, "He Xiting, I'll go find the device to remove the restriction ring for you. You keep Joey calm for now. I'm entrusting the safety of the eldest princess to you."

Without responding further, Raine quickly disappeared into the shadows to find a way to deactivate the device.

What she needs to do now is to stall for time as much as possible.

So, Leng Ran sat down on the ground and started stirring up the fire.

"Rich, uppercut! Block his right flank!" Warren's sneak attack failed as expected, and he took another solid hit to the face.

"Varen, side kick! Trust me!" Richie was kicked in the stomach and flew a long way.

Joey waited in the command room for a long time but the two escorted Leng Ran in. He turned on the communicator and saw the two fighting fiercely, while Leng Ran sat on the ground and took over the command.

Joey couldn't hold back any longer: Next time we're hiring, we need to include an IQ test.

He roared, "You two idiots, what are you fighting for! Now bring He Xiting to me right now!"

Richie looked aggrieved: "Boss! The captain is bullying me! He won't let me report important information! He's trying to steal my credit."

Could Warren be a traitor? Joey's expression darkened. "Rich, you tell me."

Warren quickly stepped in to prove himself: "Boss, don't listen to Richie's nonsense! He's trying to seize power using intelligence! Let me tell you!"

This time, Joey was truly dumbfounded, and Cecilia also looked at the screen with great interest.

Joey: "Rich goes first! Warren goes second."

Richie chuckled, already fantasizing about a promotion and a raise: "Boss, I've got a brilliant name in mind, perfect for our pirate crew!"

"We will become the masters of the starry sky!"

Joey raised an eyebrow, wondering how his dim-witted subordinate had suddenly become so perceptive.

"We are the Shark Bill Pirates!"

Joey's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Hahahaha, great name! It suits you perfectly!" The usually elegant Cecilia couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Richie was overjoyed: "Even the eldest princess thinks so, boss, isn't that pretty good?"

"Bring He Xiting here within three minutes!" Joey roared through the communicator before the call was disconnected.

Richie and Warren never knew why their boss was angry until their deaths.
