Regarding the matter of the simple-minded Raven being completely fooled by him, a flicker of guilt silently passed through Loren's heart.

But immediately after, he tossed that sliver of guilt to the back of his mind and laughed with extreme abandon.

Truly worthy of the Raven I raised, this is just too great...

After mentally praising himself for a bit, Loren withdrew his hand that had been frozen mid-air and gently patted the little head of the Raven.

"Don't get too excited yet, stupid bird, remember to finish reading that 'Travel Guide'."

After instructing the Raven, he silently walked over to the large bed in the room, sat down cross-legged, and began his daily Deep Meditation.

He wasn't short on Spirit Stones right now, so there was no need to rob the Mana Crystal Train for the time being. He just had the idea for now...

Of course, the main reason was that he was still on this very Mana Crystal Train. If he robbed the Spirit Stones from the power room now, he'd have to laboriously fly all the way to the City of Hekahn...

As for the Raven, upon seeing Loren sink into Deep Meditation, its expression changed. It silently rolled its eyes.

"Idiot master, I was just teasing you."

"Letting you have a bit of fun, and you actually took it seriously..."

"Your whole bag of tricks for fooling people, I could recite them backwards by now..."

After mentally grumbling a few complaints about its idiot master, the Raven hopped over to the front of that thick 'A Travel Guide to the Human Geography of the Beastkin Star Domain'.

Using its little claws, it began flipping through the pages, its small eyes rapidly reading...

For the Raven, which possessed the Wisdom of photographic memory, the speed of reading such a thing depended only on how fast it could turn the pages...

Wisdom was never a simple ability.

Especially for the Raven, which had studied vast amounts of knowledge from the Federation Network. Its Wisdom had clearly been developed to a certain degree.

This seemingly ordinary ability was gradually revealing its unique power.

The more knowledge it acquired, the more terrifying the power of Wisdom became...

After the Raven immersed itself in the book, the room fell into quiet once more. Only the soft sound of Loren's breathing during meditation and the rustling of turning pages could be heard.

One day later.

Federal Calendar 7708, December 5th, evening.

A Mana Crystal Train sped into the City of Hekahn at a rapid pace, arriving at the train station where such trains docked.

Soon.

Cook P. Jones led the group, swaggering out through the main entrance of the Mana Crystal Train station.

The surrounding passengers, sensing the terrifying aura Cook P. Jones deliberately exuded, all distanced themselves from the group's location, creating a relatively empty zone around them.

The only thing that puzzled the passengers was why a Legendary Tier Major Figure would still ride something as backward as a Mana Crystal Train...

After leading the group out of the Mana Crystal Train station, Cook P. Jones left behind a single sentence, then directly took to the skies, speeding towards the central area of the City of Hekahn.

"The situation is urgent, we'll gather directly at the Bounty Hunters Guild in the city center!!"

When Cook P. Jones said this, he was still clutching a portable computer.

It seemed that while their group was traveling on the Mana Crystal Train, Cook P. Jones's friend had not managed to evade the Dwarves' pursuit as hoped...

Seeing this, Loren gave a slight shrug and silently unfurled the wings on his back, giving them a gentle flap!

In the next instant, his figure also vanished from outside the Mana Crystal Train station, appearing high in the sky.

After identifying the direction Cook P. Jones had departed in, Loren leisurely followed.

His intuition told him there was more fun to be had...

Outside the Mana Crystal Train station, Seena and the other two stood in place, staring at each other blankly.

As the only Mage among the three, Seena let out a soft sigh. She then retrieved her Staff from her spatial necklace and lightly tapped the ground with it.

"Group Levitation!"

As her words fell, a gentle breeze rose beneath the feet of Hankley, Tannas, and herself, lifting their bodies...

After ascending into the sky, the three also silently followed behind Loren, leisurely flying towards the center of the City of Hekahn.

It's worth noting that none of the three got too close to Loren flying ahead...

Loren, flying at the front, sensing the wariness the three behind him held towards him, revealed a somewhat malicious smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I don't look that friendly? That's really hurtful..."

As for Loren's occasional mischievousness, the Raven maintained its usual style.

"Master, honestly, the word 'friendly' coming from your mouth."

"It just shows how unclear your understanding of yourself is..."

Loren retracted the smile from his lips.

"Shut up, stupid bird, keep quiet."

"Mocking your master won't make this Star Realm a better place!"

In response to Loren's retort, another voice from the Raven sounded in his mind.

"But it can make me happy for a while, can't it? Idiot master."

"......" And so, Loren wisely chose not to speak further.

When it came to quarreling, the Raven's combat power clearly far exceeded Loren's...

---------

Federal Calendar 7708, December 5th, nightfall.

At Loren's leisurely flying pace, he and the three following behind—Seena and the others—finally arrived above the Bounty Hunters Guild in the center of the City of Hekahn.

The Bounty Hunters Guild was a Superhuman organization spanning both the Land of the Gods and the Beastkin Star Domain.

This organization, founded separately by the Chief of the Interstellar Hunter Association, shared most of its functions with those of the Interstellar Hunter Association.

If there was any difference, it could only be in the composition of its personnel.

A portion of the Bounty Hunters Guild's members were mostly Interstellar Hunters who had committed offenses within Federation territory.

The other portion consisted of local Superhumans from the Beastkin Star Domain, as well as Superhumans from the Land of the Gods.

It must be understood that the Beastkin Star Domain had no unified laws. There were only "city laws" issued by the lord of each city.

And these city laws mostly only bound low-rank Superhumans. For mid-rank Superhumans and high-rank Superhumans, those city laws were nothing but worthless scraps of paper.

Commit a crime? Just run to the next city. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

As for those Superhumans who came to the Beastkin Star Domain from the Land of the Gods, they were similarly an extremely restless bunch.

Since the distance between the Land of the Gods and the Beastkin Star Domain wasn't far, those Superhumans who had offended various divine churches often chose the Beastkin Star Domain as their first escape route.

The "Beastkin Star Domain," while nominally part of Federation territory.

In a strict sense, it was actually a place that the Federation, the Empire, and the Land of the Gods all left ungoverned.

It could truly be called a "land of barbarism."

And precisely because of this, the members of the Bounty Hunters Guild organization were not only of extremely complex composition, but their methods were also mostly quite bloody.
