The intruders were dealt with, and Xavier returned shortly after.
Lu Wanqing opened the door and went downstairs with little Harvey. As they were leaving, she suddenly remembered something and quickly crouched down to speak to Harvey. "Harvey, that mecha Mommy gave you before, don't take it out unless it's absolutely necessary. If others see it, they might guess Mommy's identity, and then they'll find Mommy, which will put you all in danger."
"But if you encounter real danger, like today, and Daddy hasn't returned, and bad guys are trying to hurt you, Harvey, you must remember to use the mecha and drive the bad guys away."
Little Harvey worried, "But if the bad guys are driven away, Mommy will be exposed and captured!"
"I don't want that!" Little Harvey stubbornly refused.
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Harvey, do you remember what Mommy told you before? Even if we're separated this time, we can still meet on Shui Lu Xing later. Harvey will have plenty of time to be with Mommy."
"But if something happens to Harvey, Mommy will never see Harvey again. Mommy will be very, very sad," Lu Wanqing said.
Little Harvey said seriously, "Nothing will happen to me, I'm super powerful!"
Lu Wanqing nodded. "Mm."
"Shall we go down and take a look?" Lu Wanqing suggested.
Lu Wanqing took Harvey to the first floor, and Xavier looked up at them.
Harvey immediately ran towards them with immense joy. "Daddy, Uncle Wu, you guys were so cool just now!!!"
Uncle Wu's spirits lifted immediately upon hearing this. He looked affectionately at little Harvey running towards them.
Xavier, however, turned to Lu Wanqing and handed her two more spatial twists.
Lu Wanqing was surprised. She hadn't expected him to receive two more orders so quickly. Did so many people on Mu Ai Xing need their mechas repaired?
"Thank you," Lu Wanqing said, accepting the mechas and expressing her gratitude.
"Today was an accident. I will issue a public warning. No one will dare to enter our yard again," Xavier stated.
Lu Wanqing nodded. "Good."
"Those people... do you know them?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask.
Mu Ai Xing was a low-level planet, but it was developed. It shouldn't have been so dangerous. She had only just moved here, and trouble had already found them. At least, Lu Wanqing hadn't encountered any trouble during her previous long stay with Xiao Yi.
"People from the black market," Xavier replied.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
"Hmph, they're so mean, they bullied Mommy! We'll beat them to death!!!" little Harvey said angrily.
Hearing her child's words, Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered. They were space pirates. Would Harvey also kill people casually when he grew up?
Little Harvey was already saying "beat them to death"...
"Harvey, don't kill people casually," Lu Wanqing couldn't help but advise, her thoughts racing.
Even though space pirates had their own code, pirates who killed people casually were truly... unlikable.
Xavier glanced at Lu Wanqing again upon hearing this, then stood up and went upstairs.
Lu Wanqing's heart beat a little faster. She hesitated and couldn't help but ask, "Xavier, what did you do before?"
She didn't believe Xavier was born a space pirate.
Xavier's demeanor was too different. She had been captured by the San Dao Pirate Group before and understood the character of those pirates. Xavier... was far superior to them!
Xavier's excellence even carried a noble air, much like what she had felt from Mu Sijie and Zhong Li Feiyu in the Imperial Capital – a sense of upbringing belonging to the upper class.
Xavier turned to look at her, his deep eyes emitting a light like a bottomless abyss.
Lu Wanqing suddenly felt an immense pressure, making it difficult to breathe.
"This is not something you should know," Xavier said, his voice indifferent.
Lu Wanqing's heart suddenly sank. She quickly followed him, "Xavier, I didn't mean to pry into your past. I'm just a little worried..."
"Miss Lu, please don't worry. Although the boss is a space pirate, he has never killed an innocent person," Uncle Wu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, defending Xavier.
Lu Wanqing turned to look at Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu sighed. After a moment of silence, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked.
Little Harvey also held his mother's hand and said earnestly, "Mommy, Daddy is not a bad guy!"
Is that so?
Lu Wanqing looked at Harvey. After a long while, she crouched down, looked into Harvey's eyes, and smiled, "Okay, then Mommy believes you."
Little Harvey immediately became happy, extremely joyful. "Mm-hmm, Mommy believes me!"
"Mommy, let me tell you, we've never robbed ordinary people. We only rob other pirate groups," little Harvey said.
"Is that so?" Lu Wanqing's heart also settled, and she was happy.
"Then Mommy believes you. Harvey, you must be a principled person like Daddy in the future, and you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, okay?" Lu Wanqing said with a smile.
"Okay!" Little Harvey said happily.
After a long time, Uncle Wu finally explained Xavier's past to Lu Wanqing. It turned out that Xavier had also been in the Imperial Capital before. His father was once the Marshal of the Fifth Legion. Xavier had even attended the Imperial Military Academy with Zhong Li Feiyu. Their strength was comparable, and they were the most outstanding student representatives. At that time, everyone thought that Xavier would enter the Fifth Legion after he grew up, gain experience, and eventually inherit the position of Marshal of the Fifth Legion when his father retired.
But all the beauty was abruptly halted by a deliberate scheme...
Xavier's father, the former Marshal of the Fifth Legion, was framed by his own副官 (deputy officer). Xavier's father, mother, grandparents, and younger siblings all died, as if it were an accident. Yet, on the surface, no one could find any evidence against the deputy officer.
Xavier narrowly escaped death because he wasn't home that day. But he soon learned the truth.
At that time, Xavier had not yet graduated from the Imperial Military Academy; he was still a student and had not undergone any training. Naturally, he was not qualified to inherit the position of Marshal of the Fifth Legion. This position eventually fell to that deputy officer.
While Xavier was burying his family, the deputy officer feigned condolences. Xavier, being young and hot-headed, secretly led him to a secluded spot and assassinated him.
Having killed a marshal, Xavier could no longer remain in the Federation. He became the Federation's most wanted fugitive and eventually, after much wandering, became a rogue space pirate.
However, even as a space pirate, Xavier had his own principles. He never attacked ordinary civilians. He always dealt with other pirates roaming the universe.
