When Morgan VII's butler awoke from a coma, the Laurel had already left the star zone where Mechanical Star was located. He immediately looked at his fingers, and seeing his index finger, now missing the Key of Dominance, his face darkened to an extreme degree.
The chest where he had been kicked still throbbed faintly in pain, making his voice much lower and hoarser as he spoke, "Who allowed you to leave?"
"That Blue Star person..."
The servant stammered in trepidation, "He threatened to blow up our ship if we didn't leave."
"Steer the ship back."
An unprecedented humiliation and fear enveloped the butler, rendering him nearly incapable of clear thought—the Key of Dominance held extraordinary significance for the family, and if Morgan VII found out that he had lost it, not only would he be immediately exiled from the ship as space debris, but all the honors belonging to him and his entire family would be stripped away.
