Hunter or Prey

"I've been told that a Jedi may have feelings, but there's absolutely no 'lingering'... Do you know how I answer?" Khaleen Hentz murmured as she kissed Quinlan Vos passionately and said, "I told him it's none of my business what you Jedi allow and don't..."

"Fuck it, next time that Old Man Tholme tells you this, just tell him to shut up." Quinlan Vos cursed.

"Dear, he is your Jedi Master, yet you call him an Old Man..." Khaleen Hentz said with a smile.

"Because he really is a bastard Old Man." Quinlan Vos finished the final blow, then straightened up and sat on the edge of the bed.

Khaleen Hentz got up from the bed, picked up her Coat, took out a Pack of Cigarettes from it, lit one, sat next to Quinlan Vos, and began to puff.

"When did you start smoking this... the Specialty of Dawn?" Quinlan Vos asked with a frown.

"Cigarettes." Khaleen replied, "But this pack is not a Special Product of Dawn, but grown on Loen. The price is more than ten times cheaper than the Brand originally produced by Dawn, but the taste is a little bit worse. Actually... ...this stuff is pretty good, try it?"

Khaleen put the Cigarette she had just smoked into Quinlan Vos' mouth, and Quinlan Vos tried to take a sip, but was suddenly choked and coughed violently.

"Take this thing away! I won't touch it again in my life!" Quinlan Vos quickly got up, picked up a Bottle of Wine next to him and took a big gulp, then returned to the bed with the bottle, After taking another sip, he handed the bottle directly to Khaleen.

Khaleen took a sip from the bottle, and said flatly, "Count Dooku told me to keep an eye on you, what did he tell you to do again?"

"Dooku won't just find a Group of People to follow, so there must be others." Quinlan Vos snorted coldly.

"What made him so nervous?" Khaleen frowned.

Quinlan Vos shook his head and said nothing.

"Look, I even know that you are a Spy sent by the Jedi Order, what else can't you tell me? When we went to steal Count Dooku's plan to raid Kamino, you were not like you are now." Khaleen said.

"A Sith Lord." Quinlan Vos said briefly.

"Lord of Sith? Then you go directly to Count Dooku and squat, isn't he himself?"

"There is still another one."

"I hate you now, do you understand Quinlan? This is your Republic, and it is also my Republic. You want to protect this Republic, and so do I! Maybe I was just a Thief before, but since I met you, I have I found out that what I can do is far beyond what I imagined... as long as I am with you, I can do more." Khaleen said as she turned sideways and held Vos's Stubbled Cheeks.

"In this Galaxy, there is not only One Sith Lord." Quinlan Vos said seriously.

"So, shouldn't it be like this? Isn't it normal for such a Large Galaxy to have a few Sith Lords?" Khaleen asked strangely.

"My current information is limited, and the intelligence I got from the Jedi Order shows that this other Sith Lord may have something to do with Dawn."

"Okay, you're starting to talk about Jedi Knights again." Khaleen rolled her eyes directly, "Forget it, pretend I didn't ask. Oh wait a minute..."

"What?"

"I know a Smuggler, you know, the kind who Smuggles Cigarettes everywhere. I once heard him say that he was with a Very Powerful Gang Leader, and that Gang Leader is called Ni Yongxiao, from Dawn." Khaleen said.

"Ni Yongxiao..." Quinlan Vos pondered, "If there is no other way, I have to start with him. Then call that guy who Smuggled Cigarettes and ask him sometime."

"You mean Sir Lankan? Come on, he also runs more than 200 Casinos and Brothels on Ord Mantell. People like me cant see them whenever they want." Khaleen took another drag on her Cigarette.

Quinlan Vos froze for a moment, "I always thought you were talking about a Small Smuggler, then... If that's the case, is this Sir Lankan just messing with that Ni Yongxiao? Then what kind of figure is this Ni Yongxiao?"

"Well, I only know such a name." Khaleen said, spreading her hands, "But since you have decided, let's start with the first step - learn to smoke."

...

At this time, the Outer Rim of the Galaxy, the Abregado System.

The Huge Body of the Malevolence was Sailing in Space. On the Bridge, General Grievous looked at the B-1 Battle Droid in front of him who was calculating the Hyperspace Data, and said impatiently: "Give me the time to complete the next Jump as soon as possible. Calculate! The Republic is paying more and more attention to us! Mobility is the key to our survival!"

The T-series Tactical Droid on the side said: "We still need half an hour to complete the Hyperspace Calculation. The Hyperdrive of the Malevolence is too low to pass through the Hyperspace Lane at a standard speed. The Mass Projection of those Stars in Hyperspace has already a change and the Jump must be Recalculated."

"Don't tell me this, I only care about when we can leave!" General Grievous roared.

"Half an hour..." The T-series Tactical Droid was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Ten minutes!" exclaimed General Grievous.

However, at this moment, a sudden Burst of Violent White Light Flashed, and then Five Venator-class Star Destroyers broke away from Hyperspace, and suddenly appeared in the Empty Space of the Abregado System.

"I have known for a long time that the Republic will not let us go!" General Grievous stared at the image of the Republic Warships displayed on the Sensor swith his hideous vertical pupils under the metal shell, and said, "Continue to Calculate the course! After we get rid of this Republic Fleet, we leave immediately!"

"Roger! Roger!" replied the B-1 Battle Droid, which was calculating the Hyperroute.

...

At the same time, in the Flagship Bridge of the Republic Fleet, Jedi Master Plo Koon was looking coldly at the Huge Figure of the Malevolence, and said: "Finally caught you! Separatist Super Battleship! Order all Warships, disperse! Send a Message to the Republic Headquarters immediately!"

However, the Communications Officer turned around and said loudly: "General! The Separatist Super Battleship launched Powerful Electronic Interference! We cannot send the Communication!"

"Get ready to fight! Here, we cannot back down!" Plo Koon said in a deep voice.

But at this moment, in the Holographic Image displayed by the Sensors, the Separatist Super Battleship turned its Hull sideways.

"Detected a Strong Energy Reaction from the Enemy Warship!!"
