Chapter 13 - Small Incident

In a big space ship that is traveling in the outer space Tyche is reading a book after his conversation with Grey to distract himself. Suddenly the ship stopped moving, Tyche curiously looked outside through the window and was taken back because there were some ships surrounding their ship.

Then came the announcement from the ship's crew, "Passengers please don't panic we can handle this situation, I repeat please don't panic".

Tyche felt something was not right and asked Grey, "Uncle Grey, why are these surrounding our ship".

Grey replied nonchalantly, "Young master, these people are space pirates who live by stealing in the outer space"

Tyche asked innocently, "Why should they live by stealing? Why can't they do some other proper jobs?"

Grey thought for a while and replied, "That's because of their own circumstances, for some it may be due to poverty for others it may be some different reasons but most of these pirates will eventually turn greedy for resources and strength obtained by stealing and won't stop their role as pirates even after achieving their goal".

Tyche said nothing to these complications but asked, "So Uncle are they good or bad".

Grey took a look at Tyche for this question and answered, "There is no distinct good or bad in this universe all these depends on the perspective on oneself, if a person does a task for profit but ends up affecting someone else in the process that person will become evil from the perspective of the affected person, but if someone else is profited from the task of that person then he or she will be considered good by the profited person".

Hearing such a detailed explanation from Grey, Tyche blinked his eyes and said, "I think I get it but what are these pirates going to do now, will they harm us"

Grey replied, "Young master, we don't have to worry about those issues, let the ship crew members handle these things and this ship seem to be familiar with handling this issue so most probably no one will get hurt"

At the same time Tyche and Grey were conversing in the ship's main control room the captain of the Armon Space Ship is having a serious conversation with some one through 3D projection.

The man in the projection was tall with a bulky body and he was wearing a full black coat with a python logo, he is the pirate captain of Green Python Pirates named Kai.

"Captain Ross let's not make things difficult for each other give the usual 30% of your profit we will let you leave", Kai said in a very demanding tone to the Armon Space Ship's captain, Ross.

Hearing Kai's tone of speech and his demands Ross expression became ugly and said furiously, "Kai if you collect 30% of my profit like this everytime how do you expect me to pay my men"

From their conversation it can be seen that it is not the first time that such a situation happening. Both Kai and Ross were about the same cultivation level but due to the number advantage of the pirates Ross has to endure it and pay them when they are intercepted like this.

"Captain Ross, if you want to do business you have to endure and pay obediently or else face the consequences", Kai threatened while grinning like a madman.

"What? You want to fight, then let's see if your ship barriers can take my power beems, I will atleast take down half of your men before you guys take me down", Ross snapped back furious and his endurance level has reached his limits.

Seeing Ross at this state Kai became vigilant, even a cornered rabbit will fight back not to mention Ross a Tribulation Realm Expert. Kai thought for a while and still didn't intend to give up, "Captain Ross, give me 25% and we can make peace or if we fight the one to have large casualties will be you guys so think carefully"

"20% and that's all can I part with now since I already paid my men their salary before departure", Ross replied unwillingly but he knew that this kind of situations are inevitable since their their crew is not strong enough.

Kai pondered for a while and agreed, "Fine pass be the spirit stones". After that Ross sent the amount by one of his men then the pirates departed into the space then became invisible, seeing the pirates disappeared ship crew and passengers breathed out a sigh of relief.

Unknown to everyone the whole conversation between two captains were monitored and even projected as a hologram to Tyche by Grey. Grey was even ready to kill Kai and the pirates if he had made any wrong move to teach Tyche about advantages of being strong, lucky for Kai he passed his calamity.
