Chapter 2342: Halfway 

Weeks after the incident at the Scout Base...

Starship 666 had departed quietly following the raid weeks ago. While passengers and crew had suffered some losses during the encounter, it hadn't been so severe that anyone was left destitute or desperate.

Operating under the protection of a prominent figure on the planet linked to Scout Base, the space pirates had refrained from excessive aggression. Nevertheless, nearly everyone aboard Starship 666 had suffered some form of loss.

Following the uneventful robbery, those bound for Scout Base disembarked at the station while other awaiting passengers boarded, joining the journey to the final destination at the Aether Terminal.

With the departure from Scout Base, the travelers aboard the ship resumed their usual space travel routines. Since then, they had encountered no further issues, fortunate to have avoided any further encounters with space pirates.
