The Last Commander of the Red Alert
Chapter 370: Redemption through Guilt!
Chapter 370: Redemption through Guilt!
The projection clearly showed that while Hu Chong was having his meal, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the female server who was serving the food. Because there were no Red Alert Soldiers around, it took a while for them to notice.
Hu Chong's actions toward the female server were all captured on video. Fortunately, Red Alert Soldiers intervened in time and prevented his actions from succeeding.
None of the Yan Yun Star individuals who were present during the incident raised a voice to intervene, as if they hadn't seen a thing, including the women among them.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen's favorable impression of the people from Yan Yun Star disappeared. Initially, he was willing to cooperate with them, attempting to help them reclaim Yan Yun Star, as he still had relevant missions tied to that planet.
However, after witnessing this, Su Chen discarded those thoughts.
Lisi's face turned cold. She walked up to Hu Chong and kicked him, sending him flying and spitting out blood.
"Your Majesty Emperor, my subordinate has done wrong. As the captain, I'm fully responsible!" Lisi said respectfully.
Had Su Chen not sensed through his Psychicpower that Lisi's internal state wasn't as calm as her exterior, he might have believed her words.
Hu Chong also seemed to realize that they were in a precarious situation now, so he remained silent.
"How will you take responsibility?" Su Chen asked, intrigued.
Lisi knew that being gentle at this point wouldn't work. She clenched her teeth. "I can confine him in isolation for a month, providing only the most basic food each day to ensure he doesn't starve."
After a pause, Su Chen continued, "Is that it?"
Lisi was surprised. Wasn't this enough?
On the battleship, this level of punishment was already substantial. After all, it was just a case of offending a woman. It wasn't a big deal. Even if it had been something more, they could have simply given extra food as compensation. There wouldn't typically be a punishment.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were in a dependent situation, Lisi wouldn't have taken this course of action.
Being a captain of a battleship, Lisi clearly wasn't as innocent as she appeared on the surface. When it was necessary, she was capable of being ruthless. Only by demonstrating her strength could she maintain discipline among her crew.
Su Chen waved his hand, and all the Red Alert Soldiers raised their firearms, aiming at them.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" Lisi's face darkened.
"I believe I mentioned before that if you wish to live here, you must abide by the local laws. According to our Human laws, for attempted assault, there is only one punishment: chemical castration," Su Chen declared coldly.
Of course, Su Chen had just established this law. In the past, Humans were few in number. Even if such an incident occurred, the worst punishment would only result in a few years of imprisonment. However, Su Chen strongly despised such behavior and thus formulated this new law.
Hu Chong's face turned pale. As a man, becoming a mutilated individual was something no man could bear.
"Captain, save me! I don't want to become a eunuch!" Hu Chong shouted desperately.
Lisi remained silent. She realized that Emperor here wasn't joking. She had two choices at the moment: either admit her mistake and allow the chemical castration of her men, which would significantly undermine her authority as a captain, or resist.
But as she glanced at the powerful individuals around her, Lisi found herself lacking the courage to choose resistance.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if it's possible for me to offset their crimes using some technology?" It was Lisi's last resort.
She believed that the technology on this planet couldn't possibly surpass the technology on her own planet. If she offered some technological assistance, she might be able to save her men.
If she had encountered the Human Emperor, for the sake of the greater situation, they might have agreed.
However, she was facing Su Chen.
"Do you know the fate of those who oppose me in my empire?"
At this moment, Su Chen seemed to transform into a sinister demon king, radiating an aura of malevolence. Lisi and her group were like trembling lambs, appearing helpless.
Even if it were just rumors, Lisi had heard that the Emperors of the empire were unpredictable, enjoying killing and causing suffering. Just by using a bit of imagination, it was clear that opposing such individuals would lead to dire consequences.
Su Chen's actions weren't solely to intimidate them. He had a single goal in mindYan Yun Star.
The system mission still remained, waiting for him to complete it. The way to reach Yan Yun Star was known only to these people.
Although he could directly control them and force them to help him reach Yan Yun Star, Su Chen never underestimated anyone. If there was even a slight possibility that the people of Yan Yun Star had a method to resist Psychic control, he and the others would be in danger.
Su Chen would rather have them willingly lead the way than use such methods.
Now was the perfect spark for his plan. Even if the incident with Hu Chong hadn't occurred, Su Chen would have created some other circumstances. After all, they were at fault, and that was enough.
While Lisi was uncertain of what to do, Su Chen suddenly retracted his oppressive aura. "You're all newcomers to Earth after all, and you might not be familiar with the local laws. I'll let this slide for now, but..."
"Capital punishment can be forgiven, but living punishment is hard to escape. They must redeem themselves through guilt!"
"How can they redeem themselves through guilt?" Lisi asked anxiously.
Su Chen's lips curled up slightly. With a glance at Tanya and Ju Ling by his side, they understood that Commander was about to play a trick on these people.
"It's quite simple. Since you've come from Yan Yun Star, you should know how to return there. That planet is already under my control, with no challenges whatsoever. I'm quite interested in Yan Yun Star, and you only need to take me there to redeem yourselves through guilt."
Lisi trembled slightly. She found it hard to believe that Emperor here had such grand ambitionsto conquer their Yan Yun Star?
"Your Majesty Emperor, forgive my impertinence. Considering the level of technology and power on your planet, it's almost impossible for you to conquer Yan Yun Star. Besides, can you even create a spaceship capable of traveling through space?"
Lisi could gauge the technology level of this planet based on the journey from Origin Land to here. It was likely at most a planetary-level civilization, not even reaching the level of a Small Galaxy. And they wanted to conquer Yan Yun Star?
If the timing had been different, Lisi would have likely burst out laughing.
Of course, Su Chen wouldn't admit that he truly couldn't construct a spaceship. He couldn't build one himself, but wasn't there a readymade one in front of him?
"I won't bother you with other matters. You just need to answer my question: will you agree or refuse?" Su Chen remained calm.
Lisi struggled with her decision. After all, Yan Yun Star was her homeworld. Bringing these people back there would essentially make her a traitor, wouldn't it?
But then she thought for a moment. Yan Yun Star was currently a hellish place. These people, if they returned, would only bring misery upon themselves.
