With a long sigh, he said, "Liora… Xu Kai and his men were the first ones to be rescued. But there were many casualties on the other ships. We lost so many men. Out of them all, only thirty survived."
Liora took a sharp breath.
The death of Xu Kai's men pressed against her chest. Even though she had never met them, she felt her heart suffocating. They were his comrades, his men, and now… they were gone from the world.
Atlas watched her expression before continuing. "After finding them, we were able to track you. But you were lost further in space… so far away, like someone had deliberately pushed you out there so we could not find you.
It was as if you were left to die on purpose. That is not possible, because a capsule cannot drift that far on its own. Normally, they are always found within a thousand kilometers."
Liora's expression froze. Was someone really trying to kill her?
But even this shocking thought was nothing compared to Atlas's next words.
