One person: I have exposed the superhuman to the whole world.

Chapter 166 The Unselectable Space Pirate

North America, a branch of Behemoth Corporation.

"What did you say?! What do you mean by not arresting them?"

Inside the room, a Behemoth leader angrily questioned the advisor who had been seconded from Great Love.

The consultant in front of him did not get angry at the questioning and continued to speak calmly.

"Mr. Thompson, I'm sure I've made myself clear. As your advisor, my personal advice regarding those space pirates who robbed the bank yesterday is not to arrest them."

The leader, named Thompson, took several deep breaths; at this point, he was completely unable to accept the advice given to him by the Great Love Advisor.

Born into an ordinary middle-class family, Thompson has earned considerable profits for Behemoth over the past few decades through his ruthless methods, which has enabled him to become a mid-level manager within the company.

But it was at that time that his path to promotion also came to an end.

Without any connections, it's virtually impossible for him to get promoted further unless he can make a significant contribution to the company.

Just yesterday, a group of space pirates from outer space robbed a bank, stealing a batch of gold before escaping in a spacecraft.

To Thompson's even greater surprise, when the president ordered Behemoth to capture the space pirates, not a single person stepped forward to take on the mission!

The thought of promotion had clouded Thompson's judgment, and he accepted the task without even noticing a signal from his superior.

He saw the spaceship the space pirates used to escape in the video, and that spaceship's technology was far superior to theirs.

If he can retrieve the alien technology, he'll have a chance to get promoted!

In the past, Thompson had done many similar things in order to get promoted.

He has committed many misdeeds over the years, including stealing sacred artifacts from mage families, secretly kidnapping magicians' children to use for company experiments, and interrogating supernatural beings to extract their cultivation techniques.

He thought this time would be the same as before; he only needed to secretly capture the space pirates and send them back to Behemoth.

But the compassionate consultant in front of him dealt him a heavy blow.

Thompson, barely suppressing his emotions, asked reluctantly, "Why not? There must be a reason, right?"

Seeing his unwilling face, the consultant sighed and explained to Thompson.

"Let's not even talk about whether you can catch them or not. Even if you do manage to catch them all, what do you plan to do to them?"

Looking at Thompson's gloomy face, the advisor knew he was definitely thinking of some underhanded tactics.

"I strongly advise Mr. Thompson, don't even think about it!"

"Those space pirates are pirates in name, but they are still legal citizens of the Interstellar Federation. They are protected by federal laws, and we have no right to try them. At most, we can only detain them temporarily."

Have you forgotten that if our soldiers commit crimes at overseas military bases, the local authorities have no jurisdiction to try them, and they will ultimately be taken away by us for processing?

Those pirates are the same. Sir, don't be arrogant just because our country is number one on this planet. In the eyes of the entire universe, we are just an uncivilized and remote little planet!

Even if you capture those space pirates, you'll ultimately have to hand them over to the interstellar police. If they discover you used vigilante justice during the process, you'll face arrest from the interstellar alliance police. Don't expect anyone from the company to speak up for you then.

Seeing Thompson's face alternating between pale and flushed, the consultant stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"You don't need to worry too much. Given the habits of space pirates, they usually move on to another planet after looting from one. They've probably already left by now. Even if you don't catch them, it won't have any impact, since they won't be showing up again anyway."

"Besides, you don't need to have any ideas about the technology of those aliens. With our current scientific research level, even if they let us study it, we still wouldn't be able to figure it out. Not to mention, their technological products have special security measures in place, and we simply can't crack their codes."

After finishing his remarks, the consultant left the office alone, leaving Thompson alone.

……

Headquarters of Nadutong.

Looking at the advice from the Great Love Advisor, Zhao Fangxu asked again.

"Are we really not going to take action against them? We will absolutely not allow the lives of our people to be threatened, nor will we allow space pirates to commit crimes in our country and get away with it!"

While Behemoth was dealing with the space pirates, Nadutong also received orders from above to send people to cooperate with the police in establishing a special department responsible for resisting and apprehending space pirates when they appeared.

Zhao Fangxu immediately sent people to invite staff from Da'ai to serve as consultants, but the suggestions they received were not acceptable to Chairman Zhao and others.

That means only a protection team will be established, not a capture team.

We'll only deploy personnel in key locations to prevent attacks by space pirates; if they do come, we'll put up a fight.

But if they escape, we will not pursue them further.

Simply put, it's just sending a few people to make a show for the public.

"Chairman Zhao, it's not that I don't care about the safety of people's lives. As for those clever space pirates, you should have seen that no one was injured during the robbery of that American bank. They used special restraint bullets, which can only immobilize people for a period of time without causing any additional injuries."

As long as there are no casualties, even if we capture him, we can't do anything to him. Our laws don't apply to them because the Cosmic Alliance is extremely wealthy. In the Cosmic Alliance's laws, the penalties for crimes such as robbery and theft are very low.

"Even if we inflict some injury on those space pirates during our capture, we could face charges of excessive self-defense, and then we'd have to pay them compensation."

After listening to the consultant's words, Bi Youlong, a member of the board of directors, angrily slammed his fist on the table.

"How can there be such a piece of shit law! Is there no justice?! Is there no law at all?!"

The consultant looked at Bi Youlong with a puzzled expression and asked a follow-up question out of curiosity.

"Mr. Bi should understand, right? Don't we have similar laws here? For example, if a victim chases a thief too closely and the thief is injured or even killed, the victim here is also responsible for the thief's death and has to pay compensation."

The consultant's words left Bi Youlong speechless. What he said did make sense, and it was indeed similar to our laws.
