This guy was almost scared by his own boss. Such a big reaction?

Thinking back on that time, his expression wasn't very good. "That boy was about half a head shorter than me, a little thin, fair-skinned, and quite good-looking. He looked very well behaved, but the feeling he gave me..." He became a little serious and shook his head. "I just looked at the cat twice, and he seemed to sense it immediately. If I hadn't quickly hidden in the garbage dump, I'm afraid he would have been discovered."

What's even more bizarre is that even after running to the garbage dump and seeing the other person leave, he still vaguely felt that the other person was still nearby.

His intuition has always been accurate. This intuition has helped him complete countless reconnaissance missions and avoid countless dangers, so he hid in the garbage dump until dark.

Their height and appearance matched. Ye Ruisheng was about the same height as his subordinate. The young man was only about half a head shorter than him. He was fair-skinned, with delicate features. He couldn't help but ask, "What color are his eyes?"

The subordinate said, "Black, with black hair and black eyes, just like us."

Ye Ruisheng frowned slightly after hearing this, but if that cat was really that cat, then changing its size would be possible, and changing the color of its eyes would not be a big deal.

"Boss, do you want to continue investigating?"

Ye Ruisheng fell into deep thought. Assuming his guess was correct, and it was indeed that young man who had come to the Empire from the vanished planet, what was his purpose? Selling feathers for money, yet remaining silent and hanging around the slums of District 9...could he be short of money?

Ye Ruisheng said, "No need to investigate further. Just pretend you don't know anything about this." He trusted this subordinate, but there's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. While he was focusing on something, those watching him might discover something because of his actions. District 9 wasn't completely under control yet, and Ye Ruisheng didn't want to take any chances. He didn't intend to rely on others for this matter. If necessary, he would act on his own.

Because of his order, the three brothers successfully transported away three full hover trucks of low-grade alloys that night. No one paid attention to their actions, so no one knew that there was a large pile of alloys in the dilapidated warehouse at the foot of a mountain.

Ye Ruisheng originally planned to take it easy and didn't rush to look for anyone, but the next day someone gave him a gift.

The other party was the district chief of the tenth district. He had been guarding him for most of the day, and then handed him a heavy and exquisite box in a mysterious but confident manner. When he opened it, there was a black object inside, emitting a powerful pressure like a ferocious beast. Its tentacles were like cold and heavy armor. When he unfolded it, he found that it was a complete snake skin.

"Such a good thing has appeared in my market, and as an old man, I immediately thought of the Governor. The snake skin with such a powerful aura attached to it, it is most appropriate to give it to the Governor." The mayor of the tenth district flattered him, saying that his district was prosperous and full of good things, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

When the Governor's Office was originally located in the Ninth District, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that the current Governor had poor vision. But now that he heard that the Governor was going to build a military academy in the Ninth District, he became uneasy.

After so many years of chaos, Belfield is now receiving attention from above and poised for development. How significant is the significance of its first military academy? How far-reaching will its impact be? Why has the impoverished and backward Ninth District received such a boon?

He wanted to apply for this military academy to be located in his territory.

Of course he wouldn't tell them that he had also kept a pair of white snake skins and gave them to the respected Chief Regent, Her Royal Highness Princess Doya... the respected female parliamentarian beside her.

Ye Ruisheng looked at the black snake skin and was speechless.

It was this smell again. If it really came from the young man's hand, how could he dare to take out such an extraordinary thing so casually?

After the District Chief of the Tenth District had given his explicit and implicit hints and left satisfied, Ye Ruisheng ordered his men to keep a close eye on the various underground trading markets and to buy any extraordinary items like snake skins they came across.

He also cast a wide net, but he couldn't resist Jin Chu's completely different routine. On this day, when the military and political leaders held a meeting, he smelled the fragrance of grass and trees again.

Sitting on the main throne, with a sweet and friendly smile, Princess Duoya said to everyone, "Someone sent me a jar of honey today. They said it was the highest-grade royal jelly unique to Sweet Star. Everyone, try it."

Sweet Star is a planet famous for producing various kinds of honey. The honey produced there has a very good reputation and is generally not expensive. Most people can afford it and it is very famous. However, royal honey is hard to come by and even the royal family may not be able to drink it often.

Ye Ruisheng: "..." He smelled the almost imperceptible special herbal fragrance amidst the sweet and rich honey aroma, and said, "Pour me a glass too."

Everyone looked at him. Although the meeting had not started yet, it was still a bit strange to taste honey water at the conference table. Only a few female officials were interested, while the men remained motionless. Drinking honey water openly, is this going to ruin his tough guy image?

Ye Ruisheng's words were particularly abrupt, yet he calmly glanced back at the strange gazes directed at him, as if it were a matter of course. Those people immediately withdrew their gazes, some looking at the sky, some looking at their hands, and then one by one, they all asked for honey water.

Special support.

Her Royal Highness, who had almost caused a lull in the atmosphere and felt a little embarrassed and regretful, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene. She glanced gratefully at the young and handsome Governor-General who was sitting not far away. There was a gleam of light in her brown eyes as if she was thinking about something. Since he could help her out of the predicament, it seemed that he was not completely indifferent to her.

The governor took a sip of honey water and sighed in his heart. There was no doubt about it, it was that kind of smell.

There are two possibilities now. One is that the feathers, snake skin, and honey were not the work of the young man, but at least they are related to him. The other possibility is that all of these were made by the young man. In this case, he was either really short of money or did it on purpose. If it was intentional, it would be fine, but if he was just doing it for money, then it was a bit unreasonable.

No matter which possibility it was, Ye Ruisheng could no longer just stand by and watch.

The meeting was over, and the day's work was over. Ye Ruisheng returned to the Governor's Mansion, fiddled with it for a while, and changed into a formal suit that was not too grand but very solemn, intending to meet the person who was most likely his savior.

Since he was meeting his savior, he naturally had to bring a gift. He didn't know what the boy liked, but if the boy had a cat, he would give him something the cat could use.

In the darkness of night, a slender and agile figure carrying a not-so-small suitcase quietly walked out of the Governor's Mansion.

…

At the foot of a barren mountain in District 9, Jin Chu was looking at a warehouse full of alloys with great joy in his heart. It was truly amazing that the three brothers could act together. Their combined ability to deceive people was incredible. They managed to hype up that jar of honey as royal jelly, found a very good channel, and sold it for over 600,000 credit coins.

Because their efficiency was really good, and after Xiao Miaomiao's observation, the three of them had no intention of doing any harm and were quite reliable and trustworthy, Jin Chuyi was so happy that he gave them a full 100,000 credit coins as a reward. He still had 500,000 credit coins left in his hand, and today he went to the scrap collection station and bought all the remaining low-grade alloys, and the smaller quantities of high-grade alloys were also bought up by him.

Jinchu looked at the alloys in the warehouse and was always worried that something might happen again, so he decided to send them back home tonight.

At the same time, at the edge of the garbage dump, three brothers who had gone out for a big meal to celebrate their big profit ran back in a mess in the night. The second one had blood all over his back, apparently he had been stabbed by someone, and the other two were also injured, but not as seriously.

"I'll go to the warehouse and tell the boss about this. Those bastards can't be killed!" The third brother looked at the second brother's half-dead appearance and said with red eyes and gritted teeth.

They were just eating when they were targeted, and when they came out, they were blocked in the alley. Those people targeted them because of the two snake skins. They forced them to tell where the snake skins came from and whether they had more. They also wanted to arrest them.

The three of them didn't have any special skills, otherwise they wouldn't have been cheating and deceiving people without making any progress. They were almost caught and it took them a lot of effort to get rid of those people, but they were all injured in the process.

"No." The oldest one was the most patient. As he stripped the second one's clothes from behind, he said, "The eldest said he has something important to do tonight. Don't bother him yet. Go get the medicine and get through tonight first."

The third brother had no choice but to go get the medicine, but just as he moved, the small broken door of their house was pushed down with a bang. A group of people rushed in aggressively and subdued the three men in a few moves.

"Are you following us?" Lao Yi also became panicked.

The leader, with a bandit-like air, laughed and said, "It's your fault that you are so stupid... How is it, did you find anything?" He asked the other people who were rummaging around in the house.

"No, nothing!" The room was so small that they turned over the bed but found nothing.

The leader stepped on Lao Yi's face and asked, "Where did you get that snake skin? And where did you get that royal jelly?"

It's no wonder they were jealous. Anyone who could come up with these goodies must have some impressive background, so they didn't dare covet them. But upon investigation, these three brothers had absolutely no background and no understanding of the market. For example, if someone were to trade the snake skin, they would have to barter it or exchange it for favors. Instead, they set up a shabby stall and sold it for a meager sum.

How could such a shabby guy have someone behind him?

Except for the unconscious second brother, the other two were stubborn and refused to speak. The leader smiled and said, "Treat these two brothers well and let them know the rules."

The sounds of punching, kicking and screaming could be heard far away at night, even by the neighbors. However, there were always fights here, and family fights were also common, so no one wanted to cause trouble and pretended not to hear anything.

When Ye Ruisheng, dressed in formal attire and carrying a box of gifts, arrived, he heard screams and the smell of blood before he even reached his destination. His face changed slightly and he immediately quickened his pace.
