Nolan walked towards the starship airport's main entrance, located at the outer right angle of this L-shaped building. The main entrance has a large guest hall as a waiting room with a row of glazed wooden double-door entrances and ornately carved arches at each double door. Nolan stopped his steps and then turned towards his two crewmen who had followed him.
"Then I'll go first."
The two crew members gave a respectful nod and then walked the other way inside the building. Nolan walked out of the building along with the flight attendant earlier. In front of the building is a descending staircase which at the end, a classic-like four-door sedan is parked, four-wheeled, and two times larger than the average sedan on Earth, with a driver from this planetary race. This car is parked in front of the terrace with a descending staircase and a porch roof that overshadows the road below it where the car parked. The flight attendant turned to Nolan and said respectfully.
"We have prepared means of transportation for you to go to the mayor's office."
Said the flight attendant while inviting Nolan to get into the car. Nolan smiled; he then walked towards the car. Seeing Nolan walking closer, the driver immediately opened the car's second-row door for Nolan. Nolan got into the car, sat down, and placed his long sword beside him. The driver closed the car door and sat in the driver's seat on the left. The car then drove away from here.
The car that Nolan was riding in drove on a highway made of stones arranged with a flat surface to form this road. Highway traffic is neither heavy nor quiet, filled with carriages drawn by rhinos-like animals and classic-like sedans. The view on the right and left are the classic buildings typical of this city, with busy pedestrians of various humanoid races. The interior looks luxurious inside the car, decorated with shiny brown wood trim. Nolan enjoyed the view outside the car window while propping his chin on his right hand.
Sometime later, Nolan's car arrived at a short, beautifully carved stone fence; the two cars then entered a large area with green grass and trees typical of this planet from a classic three-story luxury building. The car stops in front of the entrance, which has a porch in front of it that overshadows the street below it. The mayor, who looked old with graying hair and purple skin, wearing a neat overcoat, was standing at the entrance to welcome Nolan. A male security guard from this planetary race opens the car door for Nolan. Nolan walked out of the car and left his sword in the car. Nolan looked directly at the mayor, then approached him. the mayor said.
"How are you, Nolan?"
While walking, Nolan smiled and replied.
"Amazing as usual."
They then shook hands.
"Let's talk for a while."
Nolan nodded, his expression turned curious.
"Of course"
They both then walked away from here.
They walked on a sidewalk from the park in the front yard of the mayor's building, which looks beautiful and orderly, with trees, neat green grass, and various kinds of flowers from this planet with various colors. The mayor said.
"Thank you for your hard work so far protecting Wervas planet. We feel lucky because you are our guardian, where other planets around the universe may not be so lucky."
This seemed to catch Nolan's attention.
"You mean arbitrary from their new ruler or guardian?"
The mayor nodded.
"That's right, our planetary defense force and fleet won't be able to withstand the forces out there, and the latest is the war between DZYRANTH and TITAN. I hope Wervas planet can always work with you."

Nolan smiled and nodded.
After some time being greeted by the mayor, Nolan is now sitting in the previous sedan with the same driver, and this car drives out of the mayor's building area. In the car, Nolan sat relaxed, looking at the driver.
"Let's go to the Sner Dar fountain."
The driver nodded while looking at Nolan from the rearview mirror momentarily.
"Of course, sir."
From the inner pocket of his overcoat, Nolan took out his touch screen cellphone, which has a light blue transparent glass shape with a black frame only at the bottom. This cellphone screen displays the contact of the "Guest of Honor". Nolan sends a text message that says, "Let's meet now" to the contact, then puts his cell phone away again. Nolan looked at the view of the city around him from behind the car window while propping his chin and smiling. The car then accelerated towards the city center.
The sky looks increasingly orange, with the sun shining softly, coloring the clear sky with the faint views of the massive battlecarrier starships fleet of the Lantern Pirate Alliance. In a garden with shady trees, flowers, and grass arranged beautifully and neatly, the center of this park is divided by a plus-shaped flat stone road for pedestrians, whereas in the middle is a fountain decorated with beautiful carvings. There are rows of benches with their backs toward the garden and a row of lampposts in the middle along this pedestrian street. Arlen, Grimor, and Rothur stood by the fountain, waiting for someone to arrive. Rothur looked at the clock on his faint blue transparent glass cellphone screen while also looking around. Rothur appeared to have realized something; his expression changed in astonishment.
"This meeting place was exposed so much, I can even feel cold glances from some people around us."
Some people who walked past them realized who they were and stole glances at them while chatting with their nearby friends. Grimor replied.
"I think it's only natural that they are like that."
Arlen looked around with a surprised expression.
"Why Nolan not here yet?"
Rothur looked doubtful.
"I do not know, even though he himself asked to meet up now."
A man in a cloak with a metal mask covering his entire face walked from a distance and approached them. Grimor was the first to notice the cloaked man's arrival.
"Our other alliance has come."
This immediately caught Rothur and Arlen's attention. The man in the cloak finally got near the three of them.
"Hello my comrades, are you ready for this historic day?"
Arlen smiled broadly.
"Of course, we will meet Nolan, the second rank most wanted fugitive."
Rothur looked at Arlen with an even expression.
"You are completely affected by all of this...."
Grimor looked around in surprise.
"You just came alone cloak?"
The man in the cloak looked at Grimor.
"Yeah, the other members of my organization have business they're currently working on."
They continued chatting with each other.
On the other hand, Nolan had reached outside the park roundabout and got out of his car, carrying his long sword slung over his back. Nolan walked towards the fountain and entered the pedestrian street. Nolan's arrival immediately caught the attention of many people here who happened to be looking his way. Nolan arrived a few meters near Arlen and the others, who were busy chatting with each other and didn't notice Nolan's arrival. Arlen looked curious as he crossed his arms and held his chin.
"I'm curious how strong Nolan is, maybe I'll ask him to fight to train my skills."
The man in the cloak looked surprised; he then appeared to realize something while supporting his chin with his right hand.
"That's probably a very good idea."
Rothur looked surprised.
"Good idea, I also want to try to fight him."
Hearing that all made Nolan smile, then walked up to them while saying.
"Alright then, let's practice together sometime."
Hearing that surprised Arlen, Grimor, Rothur, and the man in the cloak. They immediately looked toward the source of the voice and found Nolan already standing near them. The man in the cloak could hardly believe what he was seeing.
"To think I would actually see Nolan before me…."
On the other hand, seeing Nolan bothered Rothur a little for some reason. Grimor smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Nolan."
Nolan smiled.
"I should be the one who said that."
Nolan glanced at Rothur, slightly surprising him. Nolan smiled.
"Long time no see Rothur."
Rothur's expression turned serious.
"Nice to meet you, Nolan; it's been a long time."
Seeing the two of them look unfamiliar to each other made the others wonder because they knew that Nolan and Rothur used to be close friends from an orphanage, so they were like brothers. Nolan said.
"I have booked dinner at a nearby restaurant, let's talk there. Please follow me."
The expressions of the others turned curious. Nolan smiled and walked away from here; the others walked after him. While walking through the pedestrian street that cut through the beautiful garden on their right and left, they chatted while enjoying the views around them on the still-long road. Nolan smiled.
"I heard a lot of amazing news about Endless space pirate, you all have done it successfully."
