He Runxian almost dropped the handheld device to the ground upon hearing it, "Aren't you mining privately? Really... engaging in battle with the Insect Race?"
His confusion was understandable. The war between the Insect Race and the Human Race wasn't new; small-scale battles were almost everywhere. Engaging in battle with the Insect Race wasn't unusual; not engaging was.
It's really nothing out of the ordinary for Mr. Broker to have conflicts with the Insect Race. Not to mention that privately mining energy stone mines is bound to attract contention from all sides; the mere fact that they could tunnel a passageway from outside the star system to Xingzheng Star to transport large quantities of supplies couldn't possibly be peaceful.
However, simply stating "engaging in battle with the Insect Race" wasn't just about a mere battle anymore, but a battlefield had formed to some extent. Especially since Mr. Broker specified the star system, it was evidently a stalemate.
