Adler did not even realize that his armour suit wielded more strength in comparison to his sister who was armour less. He almost tore her arm off trying to protect her needlessly right now.

"You are going to break her Adler." Beord shouted.

Adler looked at Scarlet who was dangling from his metallic arm like a leaf on a tree branch in the wind. He was shocked that he ended up dropping her ground like a hot potato. free(w)ebnovel(.)com

"Aw, that hurt." She complained as she got up from the ground with Carolyn's help.

"Are you okay, sorry, I didn't mean to grab you so hard." Adler apologized and reached his hand out to touch her but then he pulled it back because he was afraid he would hurt her again.

"She has a bruise." Carolyn said.

There was a large red bruise on her fair arm. It was actually as painful as it looked but she did not want Adler drowning in guilt any harder than he already was.

"I am okay." Scarlet responded. "I will heal, let's just keep going."

Adler wanted to insist that they turn back but he noticed the very curious looks on the faces of all his three siblings. He could tell that they wanted to explore the abandoned space ship,Scarlet especially. He sighed and looked at it, hoping that it would bring them no danger.

The space ship was circular in shape and black in color. Its outer surface was glittering as if someone had been polishing it or it had been crafted from the most glistening of materials.

"Who do you think abandoned it?" Beord asked curiously.

"We should take it along with us, we have no space ships on this planet. If Adler can modify it, we won't have to keep begging the transporters for rides off the planet." Carolyn suggested.

The transporters were the people who flew to this planet to pick up large quantity goods and send them to private buyers. Most of those goods were metals refined and reshaped from the scrap. The other transporters were those who came to dump garbage on this world and pay a small price in exchange.

Adler and Carolyn would secretly give half of the star coins back and sneak away on the transporters' ships to buy some little supplies on the green star which was close by and where their family was less likely to be recognized. If they had their own ship however, there would be no need to desperately beg transporters for help anymore, they could simply leave whenever they please as long as they were not discovered by the space guards.

Space guards monitored the air space of every planet in the Sun star empire looking for fugitives, smugglers, flying ships or mechas in dangerous operating condition and contraband.

The Su family was on the list of exiles so if they were caught outside the blue star, they would be arrested immediately. So far, they had been lucky not to get caught.

"I think we should go back and return with our father, he may know what to do about the ship. We can't just bring...." Adler was still talking when they heard the sound of something opening.

They turned their eyes to the space ship to see Scarlet smiling like a hopeless fool.

"Oops." She said and laughed nervously. "I really pushed just one button, I had no idea this would happen."

She really did have no idea that it would open because she was trying to locate any souls that were lurking around.

"Step away from the space ship Scarlet." Adler said in an exhausted voice.

He wondered why his sister never sat still and just did as she was told. The three siblings who trusted their fighting power entered the ship first and looked around out of curiosity.

"It's empty." Adler said. "Even the flying controls have been damaged."

"What model is this? It looks old." Carolyn commented.

Scarlet who had never studies space ships just looked around randomly and pushed another button which opened a pod and then she screamed.

"Rope, rope." She shouted as she opened her soul gourd to trap the soul with red eyes and the thickest black smoke she had seen so far.

As she was doing so, her weapon wielding siblings rushed to her side and Beord dragged her behind his body. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

"What is it?" Adler asked as he slashed the air.

"Dead body." Scarlet squealed from behind.

"Oh," Adler said and he relaxed.

They looked inside the pod to see a carefully preserved human skeleton. Carolyn and Beord looked at her and shook their heads.

"They are just bones." Carolyn told Scarlet while chuckling. Even Beord was holding his laughter back and pretending to cough.

"I know that." Scarlet retorted angrily, trying so hard to hide her shame. It was not the dead body which frightened her she had seen many dead bodies on earth, most of them in a very terrible condition at that. It was the soul which frightened her.

Her self-appointed guardians relaxed as Adler fussed over her like a mother hen, asking her if she was okay about five times in a row. Then he forced her to stick by his side so that she could touch nothing else in the ship.

"Well there is nothing else here, the rest of the pods are empty. The good news is that they are all fifty mutant beast carriers. "Carolyn announced with joy.

"Let's take them and close the ship. It has been here for years so I am sure nobody will come and steal it when we are gone. We will return for it when she is safely back at home."

Scarlet ignored that comment and her eyes flashed, the grim reaper forum had a section where one could post pictures or videos of plants and animals for identification and trading. Since no one but her could see the forum, she activated the capture feature and started looking around. At this moment, her eyes were basically cameras.
