Traces of The Dark Side

The short man who spoke lifted his hood, he had big elf-like ears, a ponytail on top of his bald head, and his face was covered with horrific scars, and one eye was also destroyed, but there is no intention of treating or covering these scars at all.

He is Jedi Master Even Piell, a member of the High Council of the Jedi Order.

"This time, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and I are mainly going to deal with this person. You should assist from the side. Don't be rash. This target is too dangerous. The murderer who can kill 700 people, they are not something ordinary Jedi Knights can deal with." Master Even Piell's voice was very ugly, and his throat was also injured in countless previous battles.

"I don't think I'm an ordinary Jedi, am I?" Anakin Skywalker raised his hood, revealing a handsome face full of vitality and sunshine.

It has been 8 years since he joined the Jedi Order after the Battle of Naboo, and 8 years have allowed him to grow from a young boy to the handsome 18-year-old boy he is now. Moreover, his unparalleled talent in The Force also allowed him to grow very quickly. He could master The Force skills that other Apprentices would take months to learn in a few days.

In addition, Anakin is kind and sunny by nature, and he is very popular among the Jedi Order. Except for a pair of ancestors that he dare not provoke, life in the Jedi Order is still very good.

It is precisely because of this that Master Yoda took special care of Obi-Wan Kenobi and took Anakin out to practice more, even if he suffered some setbacks, it could temper his character.

"You still have a lot to learn, Anakin. And this time is not a practice, it is a very dangerous task, otherwise, Master Even Piell would not be able to do it himself." Obi-Wan Kenobi admonished.

"Don't worry! No matter how dangerous it is, can it be as dangerous as the outbound exploration operation two years ago? If we were not lucky enough to disembark early, we would almost be trapped in an unknown star field and never return!" Anakin disagreed.

Master Even Piell's complexion changed, and he scolded: "Have you forgotten Master Windu's warning? That matter cannot be discussed on any occasion!"

Anakin was still a little afraid of Even Piell, he quickly bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Master Evan, I made a mistake."

"Ha! Anakin, come and see! Is this Nar Shaddaa? It's so spectacular!" Another voice came and relieved Anakin. The young Jedi Apprentice raised his hood and watched with great interest through the porthole the countless huge pinnacles tens of thousands of meters high that characterize Nar Shaddaa.

He has naturally curly brown hair, and freckles on his face, and looks a year or two older than Anakin. He is Jax Pavan, Anakin Skywalker's best friend in the Jedi Order and the Apprentice of Jedi Master Even Piell.

Anakin also walked over, admiring the huge spire that pierced into the sky.

"Nar Shaddaa is the only completely urbanized planet in the Milky Way except for Coruscant. This is only a satellite of Nal Hutta, there is not enough space, so the Hutts built countless on Nar Shaddaa. This kind of spiers tens of thousands of meters high provides extra space." Obi-Wan Kenobi said: "There are no laws at all in this place, as long as you have money and power, you can do whatever you want here. Just like this time, someone massacred 700 people, but still, no one can punish this murderer."

The Shuttle docked on a steeple, and a group of four Jedi Knights entered the endless city of Nar Shaddaa.

On the street, gorgeous holographic projection advertisements can be seen everywhere, and the preview of the Dawn Stage of the Bonta Eve Classic Pod Racing Grand Pynix is played repeatedly in the almond position. In the preview, the game video of this stage of the previous years was played repeatedly, and only dozens of Pod Racers were seen galloping at high speed on the Star Ring of Dawn. When the car triggered the mechanism, there would be Automatic Turrets and Flamethrowers to attack them.

The scene of a Pod Racer being thrown out of the magnetic field of the Star Ring, and then being directly killed by a missile from a patrolling Wraith fighter was repeatedly played in close-up, stimulating the most savage parts of the hearts of gamblers and audiences.

"Pod Racing... Dawn..." Anakin Skywalker couldn't help but stop when he saw this advertisement. This was once his childhood dream.

"Let's go, Anakin, don't think so much. Dawn is now one of the Core Planets of Separatism and has been listed by the Republic as one of the 100 most unsafe Planets. All trade has been cut off. No matter what we did in the past, there are so many entanglements there, and now is not the best time to pay attention to them." Obi-Wan Kenobi couldn't help but think of the time when he and his master Qui-Gon Jinn repelled the Interstellar Pirates and saved the Dawn Colonial Group.

In a flash, 11 years have passed... Things are changing.

Anakin nodded, he was actually missing his home on Tatooine, his mother with disabled legs, the Robot Rock Johnson who lived and died with him, and the Racer he used to drive Pod Racing dreams.

He hid his thoughts deep in his heart, straightened his coarse cloth robe, and followed the footsteps of Even Piell and Jax Pavan in front.

The murder scene had already been cleaned up, and the mutilated corpses had already been transported away. Whether it was used to feed wild animals, or thrown into a synthesis machine to make nutrients and sell them to the poor, it was a good way to deal with them.

However, there was still a smell of blood and burnt flesh.

It can be vaguely seen that this place used to be a gorgeous meeting place, but now, the meeting place has been completely destroyed, as if a powerful giant rushed into the meeting place and lifted up the walls, pillars, chandeliers and even the floor here.

There was also a huge stone pillar with a diameter of two meters in front of it. It was pulled up abruptly and smashed several guards into a pulp. Now their bodies are still under the stone pillar, and no one can take it out.

"The Force of the Dark Side, without a doubt, and... very powerful!" Obi-Wan Kenobi frowned.

"Powerful, but disorderly. It's like a wild beast, it only knows how to kill." Even Piell added, "If it was a Sith Lord, they wouldn't be so messy. Their minds are more careful, including being killed. The Darth Maul you killed was also a very cunning man."

Obi-Wan Kenobi nodded, "Darth Maul feels more like a knife to me. There are other people who hold the handle of the knife. Two Sith Lords always appear, one Master an Apprentice, Darth Maul is more like an Apprentice, and now this... can't be sure."

"Who does this venue belong to?" Even Piell turned to ask a Protocol Droid next to him.

"It belongs to Hector, a law-abiding businessman." The Protocol Droid said.

"Businessmen who abide by the law will not come to Nar Shaddaa." Even Piell said coldly: "The Hutt boss behind you, isn't he still willing to come to see us?"

"I'm sorry, respected Mr. Jedi Knight. My boss Jiliac Desilijic is the head of the Desilijic Family. He can't come to such a dangerous place, and he can't meet directly with you who are equally dangerous. "The Protocol Droid said, "But he proposed a direction for you to investigate——Ni Yongxiao."

Anakin looked serious, "Ni Yongxiao, I know this person. He rose from the time when the biggest gangster in the Milky Way the Black Sun, disintegrated. He is a gang leader who is closely related to the Fourth Group. It is said that he can do everything, including weapons and spaceships, spices...except human trafficking."

"It seems that we need to meet this Ni Yongxiao. This planet is full of hostility to us, we have to be careful no matter what. Anakin, Jax, don't make trouble." Obi-Wan Kenobi said.
