The Star Thief's patrol team would never be polite to the indigenous teenagers—appearing here at this time could only mean scouts.
One teenager was immediately shot in the leg, the other was about to be beheaded.
The latter panicked, disregarding all caution, "We are from Black Heaven, you should weigh your actions carefully."
Qu Jianlei, who happened to be passing by, was stunned by this remark: Could my reputation really be used in this way?
And against all odds, the Star Thieves, upon hearing this, actually spared the two teenagers.
They said, please pass a message to Black Heaven, join our ranks and you'll have endless riches and honor.
And, if you really manage to persuade him, you can receive a reward of twenty kilograms of gold.
Anyway, the Star Thieves did not hold the two accountable and simply let them go.
In the end, taking two innocent lives wouldn't make much sense; it might be better to express goodwill to Black Heaven.
