Chapter 303 The Rise of Blackveil Town
But Joanna still had Star Orchard, the fruit company she built together with Cassian and Lorena. The company still had 780 million in liquid funds.
Joanna quickly launched a second group-Blackveil Town.
Star Orchard injected 350 million as startup capital to build the city.

With that, the new Blackveil Town had three major investors: Joanna held 88.4%, while Cassian and Lorena each held 5.8 p>
However, there was a land-use issue involved.
Land rights could not be calculated as shares.
Joanna decided that Blackveil Group would pay a separate annual land-use fee directly to her, as an individual.
That way, profits would be maximized.
After discussing it with Cassian, both sides agreed. Joanna took the role of mayor-who was really the future city lord.
Cassian and Lorena became vice mayors.
A dual-vice mayor system.
Once Joanna submitted the application and transferred the funds, the Space Alliance’s spatial tech activated.
Immediately, a spatial gate opened.
Fully automated mech-based 3D printing robots rolled in.
The land was leveled at high speed.
Underground bunkers, drainage systems, and foundations were dug and completed at once. Construction went into full launch mode.
With hundreds of thousands of machines, an entire city rose from nothing in just three days.
Cassian and Lorena immediately summoned their followers and students. Caspian also helped spread the word.
Soon, large numbers of humans began moving to Blackveil Town to settle down.

Among them, Cassian’s reputation was the strongest.
Back then, Cassian had self-detonated and turned into a sun. That moment had been unforgettable. After Spidra’s dream realm collapsed, all the natives remembered everything.
What kind of man was Cassian? A man of absolute sacrifice.
The remaining warriors naturally rallied around him.
Unfortunately, Spidra’s dream had not only controlled humanity, but it had also erased a huge number of combat manuals, cutting off their growth paths.
If they could become Cassian’s students, their path to combat could continue.
So, many of them left their old cities and moved to Blackveil Town.
They had once been warriors. Now, they were professionals.
And they carried some quiet thoughts of their own.
The humans of the Space Alliance lived in a completely different world from them.
Joanna had saved lives. Everyone acknowledged her. If she became Starlord, the natives would
not object.
Cassian went without saying-a veteran Battle Sage, fully qualified to be Starlord.
But Willow suddenly dropped in from above.
Who would accept that?
In the end, Joanna wasn’t qualified. And Cassian actually lost to Willow.
Now they gathered here, sticking together; developing Blackveil Town was, in a way, a silent act of resistance against Willow.
Did Willow understand what they were thinking?
He might not know their thoughts, but he knew this much-Joanna wasn’t just taking land
anymore.
She was taking people.
Those people were professionals. They spent money, paid taxes, and could fight demons. All of them were skilled.

And all of them went to Joanna.
That hurt badly.
“Endure it,” Willow muttered to himself. “She’ll be starting school in at most a month. Let’s see what waves she can really make p>
He planned to endure, but others did not.
On an unknown planet.
Countless people were aboard a spaceship, preparing for a spatial jump.
In this era, only space pirates kept developing spaceships nonstop.
The Space Alliance focused on vertical expansion, not horizontal exploration. As a result, many uninhabited planets became hiding grounds for criminals.
“Vincent, everything is ready p>
“Mm. First-timers on a crime planet, remember this,” Vincent said calmly. “Steal the magma stones first. That’s our priority. Kill the wardens. As for the prisoners, ask if they want to come with us p>
“Vincent, what if there are moles p>
Vincent laughed. “Haha. Anyone who joins us must believe in the Fire God. Everyone carries
God’s mark. How could there be moles p>
e p>
go p>
Hold tight p>
The spaceship surged forward and entered a spatial jump.
After the treaty restrictions, they jumped directly into the magma star region.
Their stealth radar blocked all scans. Thankfully, this ship’s tech level was extremely high.
They closed in on Magma Star.
After breaking through the atmosphere, the people of Magma Star finally detected them.

Viola, Lucas, Bruce, and Neil stood by the viewing window, watching.
This scene wasn’t new to Viola.
But for Lucas and the others, this was their first real raid.
“If Cedric knew what we had gone through to rescue him,” Lucas said, “he’d be really moved.
“Too bad Joanna is always at the academy or in places with untraceable coordinates. Otherwise, we’d grab her too. As long as she believes in the Evil God like us, the Space Alliance will abandon her. Then she’d have no choice but to stand with us p>
