In this chapter, we learn more about the mysterious ling family and how they came to possess the mysterious legacy. We learn that their father was an "imperial mecha operator" and that he was killed in battle by an "energy turbulence" . We also learn that the "higher ups" in the military ordered ling Xiao to lead their fleet through the "dead star channel" , which led to his unexpected sacrifice. The military orders seem fishy, but the fact that someone was trying to kill his father seems fishy too. The federal military seems to have been keeping a close eye on the family since they killed their father. The only way to find out their father's identity is to kill him.
