Outside New Atlas's main gate...
The two sides stood around watching each other, patiently waiting for Ethan and the others to return.
The Kethari fighters remained exactly where they were, not daring to make a single move.
They had barely managed to secure a chance at survival. They weren't about to throw it away by doing something stupid.
Judging by the looks they were getting from everyone around them, the slightest suspicious movement would get them killed on the spot.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long before Ethan and the others flew back.
Ethan looked over the Kethari, then pointed at one of them.
"You. Come here."
"All right..."
The Kethari didn't dare hesitate and hurried over.
"He's about to place something inside you," Ethan said coldly. "If you want to live, don't resist. Otherwise, you die."
"Understood." The Kethari quickly nodded.
"Go ahead." Ethan looked at Skinny Pete.
"Okay."
