Now that things had reached this stage, everything had become apparent.
With so many bounty hunters coming together, capturing David, the 98th most wanted man on the list,
was just a pretext. What was more important to them was holding this competition for the bounty
hunters so more young bounty hunters would emerge.
David was nothing more than a prize.
The 98th most wanted criminal on the most wanted list was nothing to these hunters, but this would be
a huge bounty and honor for certain individuals.
Whoever got first place would enjoy an excellent development in the bounty hunter community in the
future.
There might even already have been a tacit understanding between these hunter groups, and they
were ready to reshuffle the bounty hunter community to increase the exposure of such bounty hunters.
However, they just did not have a chance to do so.
David, the most wanted man in the empire, coming to the Royal Region would be the perfect start.
As for David himself, they genuinely did not care about him.
He was just a peak Cosmos Ranker.
Even excluding the four big bounty hunter groups, some slightly stronger bounty hunter groups could
catch David.
Even if David did not come to the Royal Region this time, the shuffling of the bounty hunter community
was imperative.
David just happened to run straight into them. During another occasion, his listing might have attracted
some bounty hunters.
However, it would never have reached this scale.
Tens of thousands of ships and millions of bounty hunters were gathered here. There were also
numerous onlookers from large forces.
“David, how about leaving this matter to me? Don‘t worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.
No matter who is involved, I will find out and punish him,” Astrid said apologetically
David turned his head to look at Astrid and said with a smile, “There is no need to worry, You Royal
Highness. I can handle it myself.”
Although David was smiling, everyone in the control room felt a chill. Of course, what puzzled these
people more was how David addressed the veiled woman. ‘Your Royal Highness?
‘What does he mean by that? ‘Is there anyone else with that name? ‘Isn‘t he worried that the Milky Way
Empire will find out?‘ Only one person in the entire Milky Way Empire had that name; she was the
emperor‘s only daughter, Princess Astrid.
They would not associate this woman with Princess Astrid of the empire at all.
“David, I am the cause of this, so let me resolve it, okay? Otherwise, I, Astrid Barlowe, will not feel at
ease in the future and will always live in guilt,” Astrid said in a low voice.
She was afraid that David would blame her for this.
If she had told her father earlier and asked him to send someone to pick her up, David would not have
become wanted by the empire.
Even though Astrid had no idea what went wrong, after the conversation these few days, she had
learned that David had just come back from exploring outside.
With that, she could eliminate the fact that he used to be a wanted criminal.
Astrid was confident that she was the one who caused this.
The person who could list David on the most wanted list of the empire was surely someone from the
empire, and they should have quite a lot of authority.
