Islinda looked in doubt towards him, but soon she took off a pair of earrings and a bracelet and handed them to him.

The moment he took them he started checking them closely. "What's wrong?" Rigo asked, while noticing the weird behavior of his leader.

"Can you scan them for me?" he handed them to Rigo as he added, "I believe one or both has a tracking device installed somewhere."

The moment he said those words, everyone's face changed. It was well known what tracking devices were, and how dangerous they were.

"Sure, I will scan them now," Rigo said as he took them and started glancing at them closely before his midhead line shone brightly with blue neon color that fell upon these ornaments.

Everyone watched and didn't speak, while James was much confident about his guess. "Or else they have some sort of a sorcerer with special foretelling powers," he sighed as he knew this was nearly impossible to happen.

"Bingo," Rigo said while taking one of the two earrings, "this little one here has some tracking codings on its core."

"Tracking coding?" Islinda asked as she took the earring and glanced closely at it. "I can't see anything, what coding?" she asked again.

"It's a supreme form of tracking, using letters embedded with energy to activate them. The owner of these codings will be away and knowing where these earrings are."

"Can he hurt her with that?" James asked.

"No, it's just a simple tracking function," Rigo replied.

"It's not that simple anymore," James said before adding, "go back to her dorm and take out everything she had from that old empire of hers."

He then glanced at Islinda who nodded and took out a flat key and handed it to Rigo, "be quick," she said, while James added, "if you met anyone, just kill him."

"Sure," then Rigo moved away and took around three full hours till he returned. During these hours, James played with the three girls here and enjoyed his time and they as well.

"What did you find?" he asked once Rigo entered the room, "and what took you so long?"

"It's just…" he paused before sighing, "you really have many things from your empire."

He directed his words to Islinda who chuckled as she said: "Sure, wasn't I the crown princess? These are just things I casually wore back in the days!"

"All of these… forget it," Rigo shook his head before adding, "I found three more tracking codes there. I got them here," he opened his hand and a necklace, another pair of earrings, and a ring were there.

"These…" the moment the five items were gathered she had some realization. "They are things given to me by my uncle, sigh, I never thought he would plan far ahead like this!"

James glanced at her with disbelief! After all he did to her, she still kept some memories of him! "Don't look at me like that! He gave me these while I was a young child, many years back!"

"Even if since your birth, take all of these and get rid of them instantly!" James was strict on her, "this snake has many hidden cards and we need to limit his options."

"Tsk, alright," she then pointed to her head as she added, "he was the one who branded my hair, do you want me to get rid of it as well?!"

James exchanged glances with everyone; no one here knew what she meant by this. "Branded my hair! The ceremony at birth! What, no one here has such a sacred ceremony?"

"Honestly?" James said, "no," he firmly replied as this was something he could ascertain from all his previous readings of the old history of this grand sector.

"Sigh, it's a ceremony where I got some of my hair to be tattooed using a certain device to give me blessings."

James didn't speak, he only glanced at Rigo whose middle head light shone again landing on her head and hair. "Stop, what are you doing? It's my hair!"

"I don't care! You are in danger, and if I had to check you inch by inch I will!" James didn't budge a single step to the back, while he waited for Rigo to finish his inspection.

"They were five hairs, right?" suddenly Rigo asked and the moment he said that her face changed.

"Tsk," James sighed before his man had his light change to be dark red. The smell of meat burning appeared suddenly in the room, which made Islinda jolt up like being stung with a snake!

"What are you doing?!!" she shouted angrily at Rigo, who just turned off his lights and went to stand behind James, calmly like he did nothing.

She glanced at James who said: "Is everything ok?"

"I have burnt those hairs," Rigo said, and before Islinda exploded on his face he hurried to add, "all were branded with tracking codes!"

The face of Islinda turned instantly red, she was angry yet she couldn't do anything or even shout! James was right in his action, and that was something she couldn't refute.

"Don't get mad at me or at Rigo, we are trying just to help," James said before he suddenly said, "but thinking that uncle of yours took all the trouble to prepare such sophisticated tracking codes from this early; I believe your father's death isn't an accident."

The moment he said these words, her face turned ashen white. Her body got softer as she landed on the seat again while her mind was gathering up all the details she knew about her father's death.

"No way!" she muttered, "they told me he died in an accident!"

"Do you believe these… lies now?" James calmly said before adding, "taking into consideration what you knew, it's not a far possibility your uncle was doing the same to him all these years."

She raised her head to glance shortly at him before she recollected herself once more. "Can… can we not discuss this matter now?" she said in a soft and shaky tone.

"Sure," James nodded, before adding, "Rigo I want you to prepare a trap with Dora for anyone who will come after Islinda."

He handed the defected ornaments to Rigo who glanced at them again before saying: "Should we take them with us towards the far distance?" he meant the mission they were going to start soon.

"No," James shook his head before adding, "those hunters have some way to cross barriers between grand sectors with," and he paused and didn't explain much.

Yet everyone in the room knew what he aimed for. "Expanding the empire?" Dora asked.

"Going to gather more fleets?" Rigo asked.

"Having more sexy girls like me, playboy?" Luna hit his chest with both her fists, yet he felt nothing.

"Helping me go home… take revenge?" Islinda asked.

James glanced at all of them while he admitted he was doing this to make himself stronger and find more competitors and exterminate them!

"Yes," he faked his agreement, "I will do for all these reasons," his smile was perfect and everyone thought this one was for him and her.

"Now," he said, "I want you two to lay down a very strong trap so anyone would go in and won't get out."

"This…" Rigo paused as he didn't have anything in his mind right now to suggest.

"Don't hurry and judge, we will hasten the production of more droids," James said before adding, "you and your men will gain upgrades matching our current time and also more reinforcements."

"Thanks my leader," Rigo smiled as he expressed his gratitude in words and in a deep bow to him.

"Don't thank me, you are one of my strongest weapons," James waved casually at him before adding, "what about the recruitment process? The second fleet is ready?" he directed his question to Dora who hurried to answer: "It's still in the infant stage."

"Infant what?" James asked before laughing.

"It's still too soon to complete it," Rigo said, supporting her, "we need a couple of weeks to finish this fleet."

"Good," James nodded, "your mission in these two weeks is to hurry the production of more droids and finish the second grand fleet."

"What about the assassins targeting big sis?" Luna asked, and Jamed glanced at her as he muttered, "Big sis?" he moved his eyes towards Islinda, "you two got too much closer while I was away."

"Are you not satisfied with that?" Islinda replied on his smile with a smile, as both knew what was in the other's mind.

"No problem for me of course," he laughed while caressing Luna's sexy body lying in his lap, "I will take care of those assassins for now."

James then took the ornaments again from Rigo who left a squad of his special droids to guard his leader. James didn't refuse extra help while he was waiting for more assassins to come.

"Let's see how you will target my girl from now on," James laughed while he played with the five ornaments he had from Islinda. "To plan from this far and execute this late… that man is really dangerous!"
