Madam Red Spider felt a sudden panic. She knew the nature of Chi Niao; he was a man of his word. If she continued to haggle, it might truly become a one-nine split.
"Three-seven it is," Madam Red Spider quickly agreed.
Zavier smiled and asked, "Besides them entering Twilight Star, is there any other more specific information?"
Madam Red Spider: "..." If they had more specific information, wouldn't they have apprehended the culprits themselves? Was there a need to share the information with others and let them share in the spoils?
"Not yet," Madam Red Spider replied.
"Mm," Zavier responded indifferently.
Madam Red Spider looked at the man and couldn't help but say, "Lord Chi Niao, everyone is aware of your abilities. If you were willing to take action, I believe Zavier and Lu Wanqing would have nowhere to escape!"
"That's for sure, my dad is the most amazing!!!" Little Harvey, who had grown up with his father, was already accustomed to the pretense of speaking one way to one person and another way to another. He immediately chimed in.
Madam Red Spider smiled at his words, but as she saw the woman standing next to Little Harvey, she frowned. Such an ordinary woman, how could Lord Chi Niao have taken a liking to her?
Still, it was just a woman. With a little thought, she could be dealt with.
Madam Red Spider mused, and then a smile bloomed on her face, "Indeed, Lord Chi Niao's reputation is known throughout the entire underground arena."
"Yes!" Little Harvey exclaimed loudly.

Garbage Star.
Through hacking into the Federation's network, the intelligent system Qingqing accidentally uncovered the most secret piece of information – Lu Wanqing was on Twilight Star!
Qingqing hurried to share this good news with Lu Yang: "Master, Master, I found it! I have news! They say Zavier and Lu Wanqing have entered Twilight Star, and they are there right now."
"Twilight Star?" Lu Yang asked, confused.
Qingqing was excited, "Yes, yes, on Twilight Star! Master, let's go quickly! We might find Lu Wanqing soon!"
The interstellar era was too vast, with so many planets. Finding a single person was incredibly difficult. But narrowing the search to one planet, Qingqing felt it could be done. Master was so powerful, he could definitely do it!

On the other side, Zhong Li Feiyu also received the latest news through the Zhong Li family's channels – Lu Wanqing was on Twilight Star!
Zhong Li Feiyu shared this news with Mu Sijie, Yu Nong, and Wei Xingzhou. Everyone was thrilled. Having news meant there was hope.
The four children couldn't go to Twilight Star to search for her; they still had school. But Zhong Li Feiyu, Mu Sijie, Wei Xingzhou, and even Yu Nong all took leave. They all set off, heading for Twilight Star.

Twilight Star.
After leaving the underground arena with Zavier, Lu Wanqing returned home and felt uneasy.
The news had leaked so quickly. Would they be captured soon?
If discovered, Zavier and the others would be in danger, right?
"Ze..." At home, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but turn to call out to Zavier. But as she uttered the beginning of his name, she suddenly realized she couldn't call him by his name. What if someone overheard?
This incident, although their identities hadn't been completely exposed, finding them on Twilight Star so quickly suggested that interstellar technology was very advanced. They might be discovered at any moment.
"Can I call you Ah Ze?" Lu Wanqing thought, and then said.
Little Harvey's eyes lit up. He quickly exclaimed, "Mommy, is that your pet name for Daddy, like in the movies? A pet name between lovers."
Lu Wanqing's anxious mood became speechless at the little one's words. She tapped Little Harvey's forehead and denied it expressionlessly, "No."
"Okay," Zavier looked at her and nodded, "You can."
"We..." Lu Wanqing wanted to say more, but many words caught in her throat, stemming from worry.
"Zavier sat down on the sofa and said, "Go upstairs and pack. From today onwards, you will sleep in my room."
What?
Lu Wanqing's eyes widened, and she looked at Zavier in shock.
Zavier said expressionlessly, "Just in case."
Lu Wanqing: "..."
There wasn't much explanation, but Lu Wanqing inexplicably understood. Their identities were too sensitive. Someone had already discovered they were on Twilight Star, and people might become suspicious. Since they were pretending to be a couple, sleeping together would make their act more convincing and less likely to arouse suspicion.
"But..." Lu Wanqing hesitated. Taking care of children was one thing, but living together was a bit much.
"Are you still worried I'll do something to you?" Zavier looked at her, his gaze slowly drifting down to her slightly flattened chest.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
"You'd better not think anything!" After a brief silence, Lu Wanqing said angrily.
Little Harvey, listening from the side, was bewildered. He looked at his mother, then at his father, and finally exclaimed loudly, "I want to sleep with you too!"
"You cannot!" Zavier rejected him coldly without even thinking.
What seven-year-old son still slept with his parents?
"I want to, I want to!" Little Harvey was defiant and threw a tantrum. Dad was so big, he could sleep with Mommy, so why couldn't he!
"Daddy, you're lying! You said when I grow up, I can't sleep with Mommy anymore, but you're much older than me, and you can sleep with Mommy, so why can't I?"
"Perhaps because he's my wife, and you're her son?" Zavier eyed his boisterous son, feigning speculation.
Little Harvey: "!!!"
"When you grow up, you can go find your own wife. When you have a wife, you can sleep with her, sleep as long as you want, and no one will stop you," Zavier added.
Little Harvey: "…………"
Although Little Harvey was not small, having grown up with his father in a pirate gang, he had never witnessed normal marital life. Therefore, he didn't quite understand why, when he grew up and got a wife, he could sleep with her, but he couldn't sleep with his mommy.
"I don't care, I want to sleep with Mommy!!!" Little Harvey pouted.
"If you want to get everyone killed, then come," Zavier said.
Little Harvey froze. His dark, round eyes were filled with confusion. Why would he get everyone killed? He just wanted to sleep with his mommy.
Lu Wanqing, however, understood. If they were to portray themselves as a normal couple, they had to act like one. The little one was so big; sleeping with them might be fine if no one noticed, but once discovered, it would easily arouse curiosity and attention, leading to their identities being exposed.
"Harvey, Daddy is doing this for everyone's good. Don't make trouble," Lu Wanqing couldn't help but persuade him.
Little Harvey looked at his mother, then at his father, and felt... were they ganging up on him?
