As he chased after Hye, the latter noticed that at once. "Damn! Are you trying to drag me down with you? Go the hell out of my way! Stop following me!!" he shouted, but no matter how he yelled, the sound couldn't survive in space anyway.
And he had no way to contact that pirate king, or else he'd have spammed him with tons of cruel insults and threats.
Two fast spaceships moved in the same direction, one after another as if they were mirroring each other. That attracted more fire and heat toward the two, and yet they were able to evade any incoming attack using their flying skills.
"He is good," the pirate king took this note to his heart, being more wary of Hye. Yet he never stopped chasing him, even when he noticed that Hye was flying in circles.
"Is he trying to waste time?" the pirate king thought about the reasons that would let Hye do such a move. If it was him, he'd just go straight forward towards the portal, leaving this battle and everyone behind.
