At this point, Ulrich paused and continued, "The Alliance resistance is possible, but nobody wants to be the spearhead, everyone's tiptoeing around."
"Furthermore, the Star Hunter Leader, Sandro, had the audacity to demand in the meeting that I hand over that mechanic!"
"What do you think?" Huo Tan inquired.
"If he'd come to me privately and offered me a little something, I might have agreed, but now..." Ulrich snorted coldly, "Does he really think I'm such an easy target to squeeze?"
Huo Tan then hesitated, "You're right, and I also advise against handing over the mechanic."
"Oh, have you connected with him during the half-month I've been away?" Ulrich asked nonchalantly. Huo Tan tightened up and hurriedly explained, "You misunderstand."
"The reason I say so is that his skill level is indeed very high. In this half month, many have come to him with various ideas, seeking repairs or even custom weapons."
