Kert had already seized a spaceship equipped with a jump function; such ships were everywhere on this tourist planet.
He hovered in mid-air, and outside the porthole was the eyeball of a dragon's head.
Just one eyeball had already filled the view outside the porthole, and he felt as if he was being watched constantly.
He was discovered! Everyone else was fleeing, yet he remained, it was too strange! He had definitely been discovered!
As a Second Rank warrior, being overlooked by a Third Rank, his mind was on the verge of collapse.
"Hiss—whoosh!" Kert kept taking deep breaths, using reason to restrain his Instinct, preventing himself from initiating a jump to escape.
The guard holding the baby was equally anxious, his mouth dry.
The baby in his arms seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, crying out loudly, and no amount of comforting from the guard was effective.
