The entire room was quiet for a few seconds. After Colin spoke, his expression seemed to twist for a moment but his face eventually froze.

Gu Huai hadn't expected to hear such an answer but his reaction was relatively quick. He blinked and replied, "Oh, it is a charity."

"Yes." Colin nodded blankly.

"That's good." Gu Huai smiled. "I think that people who join a charity are very kind. Such people will be easy to get along with."

Seeing that the young man didn't doubt his words, Colin's expression was stiff as he vaguely responded, "Um... well."

Gu Huai had a smile on his face but he couldn't help wanting to laugh. He moved to the bookcase against the room and randomly grabbed a book. He looked down at the cover of the book and asked, "Why go outside to capture people? I thought I heard something about a torture team yesterday...?"

To send a proposition—

Colin's eyelids twitched and he continued to rack his brains. "The torture team isn't really related to our organization. It is the government department on the other side of the planet."

"Our organization is friendly with the government of the planet and we arrested people because they said important fugitives had escaped. Our side offered to help..." Colin's lies paused here. "Of course, I believe that you aren't a fugitive. It is a misunderstanding but I can't let you leave the room yet because I need time to go through the procedures."

If he let the other side go out now then he would die on the spot. Colin tried to buy himself some time by lying.

Gu Huai nodded to express his understanding and that he wasn't angry about being locked up.

"What activities do you usually organize? Can you tell me? I'm quite interested in charity organizations." Gu Huai continued to follow the topic raised by the other side, the angle of his lips curving up a bit more.

I was like a class teacher checking the summer homework of students. Colin thought quickly and replied, "We... send warmth to the community. We protect the neighbourhood."

—Collect protection fees.

"Take in the homeless."

—Collect the Grey Tower soldiers.

"We also assist in the work of the current planet's government."

The last sentence was really nonsense because there was no government on Nira Star. In this grey area that wasn't governed by the Star Alliance, all forces in the galaxy were very chaotic and every planet here was very messy. This chaos referred to the turmoil on the planet. However, to be honest, since the Grey Tower took root on Nira Star, the security of Nira Star had visibly become better. Thus, Colin wasn't lying when he said that they were protecting the neighbourhood.

"It feels like all these things are very meaningful." Gu Huai was cooperative as he expressed praise.

Colin felt guilty at Gu Huai's praise. He became more and more determined that he couldn't let this person know the real situation of the Grey Tower.

If the young person knew what their organization was actually doing, even if he wasn't angry about the deception, he definitely wouldn't treat them with a gentle attitude anymore, let alone praise them with a smile.

"In recent times, the interstellar routes haven't been secure. It seems there is something wrong with the Star Alliance. It is said that the headquarters of the Star Alliance has been targeted by a weapon called the Meteorite. The situation is very critical." Gu Huai mentioned the topic and showed some concern.
