Zhao Chen could tell that this incident had a profound impact on Saint Cana's inner world.

After all, this is the Saint Family... the most powerful family force within the Holy Radiance Empire, as mentioned by Saint Cana!

"Are you scared?" Zhao Chen looked at Saint Cana, whose expression was somewhat blank.

Saint Cana instinctively wanted to retort, but suddenly couldn't utter a sound.

Yes... she was scared.

The Holy Angel family she belongs to is quite powerful, and they even possess a Holy Angel Legion, which is enough to show the status of the Holy Angel Legion.

But compared to the Saints' family... that's nothing at all.

"You may not know just how powerful the Saint Family really is..." Saint Cana whispered, "Of the ten Holy Light Legions, at least five are openly related to the Saint Family. As for how many the Saint Family can actually mobilize in private, no one knows."

You may not have heard this saying before.

In the Holy Glory Empire, there are only three types of families.

Category 1: Third-rate families.

The second category is those like my Holy Angel family.

The third category is the families of saints.

Zhao Chen frowned slightly.

One in a class?

“Some have even said that the military power controlled by the Saint Family exceeds the total of all other families!” Saint Cana stared at Zhao Chen, biting her lip lightly.

This was the first time Zhao Chen had ever seen such an expression on this strong woman.

"So, you're scared?" Zhao Chen asked again.

Saint Cana was somewhat embarrassed and angry; this man still hadn't understood what she meant.

"Did you even understand what I said, Saint Family...?"

"So, you're scared." Zhao Chen said these words with a firm tone this time.

Then, Zhao Chen continued, "You previously said that you would not allow any filth or corruption to exist in the Holy Glory Empire."

Now that you've discovered this being is the strongest saintly family in your empire, you're afraid, and you've retreated.

If this is your unwavering belief.

Then all I can say is... you're not worthy of working with me.

Now, I can let you and your people leave.

Zhao Chen raised his hand and gestured for him to proceed.

Chu Xuan pushed herself away and stared coldly at Saint Cana.

Saint Cana looked at the open doors of the bridge, then at the man sitting in the captain's chair with his back to her.

She had tried every possible way to leave before.

But now, when this man keeps telling her to leave, she... is actually wavering.

She clenched her fists, as if two little people were fighting in her mind.

At this moment, Zhao Chen calmly looked at some data transmitted to him, such as when the interstellar transport ship would arrive.

Considering that sending all the slaves on this planet back would require a large number of interstellar transport ships.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen's associates in the Star Alliance still had the ability to mobilize some interstellar transport ships to transport these slaves.

As for why Zhao Chen 'drove' Saint Cana away.

This was a clever tactic by Zhao Chen. The matter of the Saint Family was undoubtedly a huge obstacle for Saint Cana.

If Zhao Chen forces Saint Cana to go with him, it might actually make Saint Cana want to back out.

But now that Zhao Chen is forcing Saint Cana to leave, it might actually have the effect of fighting fire with fire.

These past few days, Zhao Chen wasn't just letting Saint Cana relax on his starship for nothing. Whenever he had free time, Zhao Chen was studying this commander of the Holy Angel Legion.

Zhao Chen discovered that this Saint Cana was a person with strong faith, even to the point of being fastidious about her beliefs.

Now that she knows there is a hidden danger of the Saint Family within the Holy Glory Empire, she cannot help but find out about it!

Her personality and her pride wouldn't allow her not to do it.

It seems that Zhao Chen gave Saint Cana a choice, but in reality, Saint Cana only has one path now.

She returned to her family and told them that she was going to investigate the Saints' family.

There will only be one outcome: her elders will think she's gone mad.

They can lose the holy war duel, but they will do everything in their power to protect Saint Cana, ensuring that Saint Cana receives no real punishment other than some reprimands.

However, to provoke the Saints family is undoubtedly gambling with the fate of the Holy Angels family!

The Holy Angels family would never allow Saint Cana to do that.

Saint Cana alone could not possibly investigate the matter thoroughly within the Holy Radiant Empire. For example, she was nearly assassinated not long ago because she had touched upon areas she should not have.

In this situation, Zhao Chen was undoubtedly the only option she could choose.

Zhao Chen has a fleet, and Zhao Chen has the ability to gather intelligence.

More importantly, Zhao Chen is the man who once defeated Saint Cana.

Aside from her faith, Saint Cana was someone who deeply respected the strong.

Suddenly, Saint Cana rushed in front of Zhao Chen, looking at him with a determined gaze: "You can't send us away. We've already reached an agreement."

We are partners now; you can't go back on your word.

Zhao Chen looked at Saint Cana with a mocking expression: "But you should know that if you continue to investigate, you will touch the Saint Family. If... I mean if the Saint Family is really researching something extraordinary and touches the bottom line of your Holy Radiance Empire."

What would you do?

Or rather, what can a mere Holy Angel family like yours do?

Saint Cana clenched her fists and said with a determined look, "If I really find out that the Saint Family has done something against the Holy Light Faith..."

I will make these things public and let the Saints family face the Empire's judgment for their wrongdoings!

Even if... I have to pay with my life!

Zhao Chen glanced at Saint Cana's trust value in the system mission. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

【Saint Cana's Trust Level: 10】

Oh ho, it's finally a positive number.

Then, it will be much easier to raise it further.

After all, the tasks for this quarter don't end until the end of June.

He still has plenty of time to train this commander of the Holy Angels Legion.

"Since you've made your decision, then let's continue our cooperation." Zhao Chen shrugged, looking indifferent.

Saint Cana stepped aside and didn't say anything more, but she was in a very bad mood.

She felt that the man beside her was like a demon with bared fangs, constantly tempting her down a path of no return.

But she has no other choice now.

For the Holy Light, for her faith!

“Commander, on other slave planets of the Qian family... there may still be a large number of Chuhe Starfield citizens...” Chu Xuan looked at Zhao Chen with difficulty.

"We still have time. Since we're going to deal with the Qian family, we need to wipe them out completely."

They were involved in the slave trade, weren't they?

I'd like to see how the Qian family patriarch conducts trade without {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} slaves.

Besides, as you said before.

The Qian family will pay the price for what they've done.

It's a fight to the death.

Our JF-17 Legion is all about integrity!

We mean what we say!

"This time, the Qian family is doomed!" Zhao Chen revealed a mocking smile.
