"You...how did you find me..." Lorn Pavan was terrified and kept moving back on the ground, completely losing his size.
"Don't worry, Darth Maul is now competing with the bank you tampered with before, and he won't find him in a short time." The voice of the visitor was gloomy, magnetic, and there was a hint of metallic sound, but this should not be his original voice.
"Darth... is really a Sith!" Lorn Pavan's fear had reached its peak.
"Yes, indeed. But don't worry, as I said, Darth Maul can't find you. I have some connections in the Interstellar Banking Clan, and the investigation to mislead him is very simple."
"So...you also found me through the Interstellar Banking Clan? Who are you...what do you want?"
"Wrong question, you should be asking, what happened to your Droid partner I-5?" the visitor said gloomily.
Lorn Pavann jerked himself up from the ground, "Bastard! You caught I-5?! Where is it?!"
"I do have the I-5. But I'm sorry to say that I'm late. Your trusty friend has already wiped the memory of the I-5, and it looks like he intends to take the modified Droid and keep it for himself. But don't worry, I have killed him." The visitor said.
Hearing the man's tone didn't seem to have much killing intent, Lorn Pavan relaxed a little, "So... you found I-5 back, thank you, thank you. That... can I know your name? If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you, I swear!"
The somewhat fuzzy corner of the mouth under the man's cloak was slightly raised, and he said slowly, "My name is... Darth Malthael."
Plop! Pavan fell to the ground again, trembling violently, "You...you are also a Sith! You...why...? Why is there another Sith?"
"Before that, I think you should say something to your son. I will send the Droid to the Jedi Order instead of you, and send it to your son Jax Pavan." Darth Malthael said.
"I... what should I say?" Pavan looked at this person, but he didn't dare to speak.
Darth Malthael dropped a holographic memory, and Pavan recognized that it was indeed the memory on I-5, then he turned and left, "I'll give you five minutes."
Lon Pavan grabbed the memory with both hands, hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to speak: "Jax, my son. When you hear this voice, I don't know if I'm still alive... this Man, I don't know what he's trying to do, but he gave me the chance to leave this message... Listen to me Jax..."
A few minutes later, when Darth Malthael returned, Lorne Pavan had finished recording and seemed to have resigned himself to his fate. He knelt down and put the memory on the ground, "Okay, do whatever you want to do, come on... Anyway, thank you for giving me this opportunity, if you really want to give the I-5 to my son."
"To be honest, if you are alive, it may be more useful to me, because your son will be really good in the future. But now, I can't just think about myself, so I can only borrow your head." Darth Malthael said flatly.
"My son... Jax, is the future really good?" Lorne Pavan raised his head and asked.
"That's right, very good. And he's an upright and smart person."
Don't wait for him to answer, swish!! The red lightsaber flashed across Lorne Pavan's neck in an instant, and a head rolled down.
Darth Malthael picked up the head, put it on the mechanical wreckage aside, and then connected to the Hyperspace Communication. The figure of Darth Plagueis appeared in the projection, and Darth Malthael kneeled down on one knee, "My lord, the task is completed. Lorne Pavan's head is here. He copied all the contents of the memory to his Droid, and he wanted to send the Droid away, and then sell the memory to a Hutt."
"So, it should be the result I thought?" Darth Plagueis said slowly.
"Lon Pavan, Yance the Hutt, and a Jedi Temple purchaser who passed by, as well as their entourage and bodyguards, none remained. But the Droid is not bad, I cleared its memory and prepared to take it back as a toy." Darth Malthael had a sinister smile on his lips.
"Very good! Very good!! Then my other excellent apprentice, what is he doing now?" Darth Plagueis laughed triumphantly.
"Sidious's apprentice, Darth Maul is competing with the bank where Lorne Pavan did his hands and feet." Darth Malthael taunted.
"Hahahaha! As expected of the apprentice I personally taught!" Darth Plagueis punned, not only mocking Darth Sidious but also praising Darth Malthael, "Come back to Bora Island, in the next few months, you will complete my final trial!"
"As ordered."
...
An hour later.
Buzz~~~~~~ A modified silver-black FC-20 hoverbike is coming quickly, and a man wearing a black cloak jumped out of the car, but he didn't hide his appearance too much. The red skin, black markings and well-developed muscles were revealed.
Zabrak, Darth Maul, apprentice of Darth Sidious.
Holding a long metal sword hilt upside down with one hand, he walked towards the interior of the abandoned factory building, but he was keenly aware that something was wrong immediately! With a swish, a Bright Red Light Blade protruded from both ends of the metal hilt at the same time!
Darth Maul lifted his hood, revealing a ferocious face, "Hehehehe...the smell of death."
He walked in step by step, and soon saw the body of the Hutt, and then the body of Lorne Pavan who fell on the other side!
"Dead...all dead...hehehehe...all dead..." Darth Maul muttered with a grin, his sharp teeth protruding from the corners of his mouth, and he jumped in front of the corpse.
He squatted down and began to search for the headless corpse of Lorne Pavan, but he immediately saw the completely destroyed holographic memory placed on the chest of the corpse.
Sudden! He suddenly felt a faint killing intent! Darth Maul suddenly jumped up and leapt back to open the distance, while the Double-Headed Lightsaber was in a posture of alertness!
"Who's here!" Darth Maul asked.
Then he looked up suddenly as if feeling something, only to see a man in a black cloak looking down at him on the steel beam above his head!
Although in the darkness, Darth Maul could clearly see a mocking smile on the corner of the man's mouth!
"Give it to me, die!" Darth Maul roared, brandishing his Lightsaber and leaping forward, swish!!! With a flash of red Sword Light, the hard steel beam was instantly split into two, with molten steel still flowing from the fracture!
But the black shadow was very agile and jumped over from another direction in an instant. Before Darth Maul continued to chase, he had already pressed the remote control.
Darth Maul suddenly felt a huge crisis, and almost at the same time, a sudden violent explosion exploded! Completely cover the entire abandoned factory building!!
Boom~~~~~! ! ! The flames and shock waves of the explosion hit instantly! Darth Maul's reaction was already extremely fast. He used his Force to withstand the impact of the explosion, blowing away the flames, and fell to the periphery of the abandoned factory in some embarrassment.
He looked at the burning factory building in front of him and in the direction where the black shadow disappeared, his face became serious.

The protagonist has finally started walking as a Sith. From this chapter on, when the protagonist appears as a Sith, I will use the name Darth Malthael; and when he appears as the leader of the Fourth Civilization From time to time, I will continue to use the name Tang Xiao.
Do you remember? I did the same with Darth Plagueis (Hego Damask II) and Darth Sidious (Sheev Palpatine).
