Herta Space Station, inside Madam Herta's room.

"Madam Herta, with my current strength, I am perfectly capable of serving as security combat personnel!" Hiroshi did not want to leave this place where he had stayed for so long, nor could he bear to part with the people he was familiar with.

However, Herta just shook her head coldly. "I don't want to explain anything to you again. Now, immediately, leave this place!"

"But..."

"There is no 'but'!" Herta mercilessly interrupted Hiroshi. "Or... do you want me to personally throw you out?"

Hiroshi's expression instantly froze. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. It seemed she was determined. Has she really only ever seen me as a tool to be used? I don't believe it... "Madam Herta, have you only ever seen me as a tool from beginning to end?"

Herta crossed her arms and let out a disdainful snort. "What else? If it weren't for the fact that you were somewhat useful, I wouldn't even spare you a glance!"

Hearing her merciless reply, Hiroshi remained silent for a long time, moisture appearing in his eyes. "I understand, Madam Herta. I... will leave..."

"Wait a moment!" Hiroshi was suddenly called back. A look of anticipation lit up his face. Did she change her mind?

Herta tossed a strange sphere to him. "You did help me out a bit, so consider this compensation. If you sell it to someone who knows its worth, it will be enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime. Also... the interstellar spaceship outside is yours. You just need to input the coordinates. Enough, stop being an eyesore! Don't ever appear on the Space Station again, I don't want to see you!"

Hiroshi looked at the sphere, his expression filled with gloom. It's... just a memento... With a heavy sigh, he pushed the door and left.

Only after his figure had completely disappeared did Herta finally drop her pretense. The cold expression vanished. Her features contorted with pain; her fists trembled, her nails digging into her palms until blood surfaced.

"Tch!" A moment later, she relaxed, her gaze drifting aimlessly...

Hiroshi paused at the exit of the Space Station, gazing deeply at the scenery. This was the place where he had first arrived. Should he say goodbye to Station Master Asta and Captain Arlan? Perhaps not. Why make it so sorrowful?

He stepped through the final hexagonal door. The security personnel were stunned. "Section Chief Hiroshi, are you leaving the Space Station?"

"Ah..." Hiroshi responded faintly. He walked up to the spaceship docked at the platform. The hatch opened with a hiss, and he stepped inside.

Where should he go? The Xianzhou Luofu? Even ordinary people can live well there, and with my strength, I could join the Cloud Knights.

At the same time, Herta watched the spaceship depart from the Main Control Module. Guilt, reluctance, and sorrow transformed into a helpless blessing. "Live well on your own from now on, little fellow. Time is short; I didn't have time to prepare much for you..."

Then, she summoned everyone on the station. She required them to pass through a device she had programmed. What they didn't realize was that every memory concerning Hiroshi vanished from their minds as they passed through. Finally, Herta also stepped through it.

"Farewell, little fellow..."

After finishing, Herta used a mirror to teleport to a desolate, uninhabited planet. She held her staff, her expression grave.

"You think making some pointless preparations can change your fate? What a naive little girl."

Hearing the distorted, androgynous voice behind her, Herta turned. The figure had short coffee-colored hair and wore a white suit, but her face was obscured by a thick, shifting mist.

Even Herta took a sharp, nervous breath. "You really came... Lord of Silence!"
