Chapter 546 Surrounded Again
At this moment, the Fallen Family's starship successfully jumped and immediately surveyed the area, realizing that it was indeed close to the Empire's defenses. However, this was an asteroid belt, and since they were a large starship, they had to be careful during their voyage.
Despite the overwhelming tension, they finally made it out of the meteorite zone two days later.
Just as they were thinking of sneaking through to their secret planetary territory to rest and recuperate, the starship's radar reported the approach of an unidentified object.
The people on the two starships who had just escaped were filled with renewed fear. They kept reassuring themselves that since they were on the border of the Empire, it was probably just a patrol force, so it was alright.
However, before they could ascertain the exact origin of the opposing starship, the starship had already set up its posture, clearly not to be trifled with. But what was certain was that it was not the patrol force.
All the starships were so golden they were almost dazzling. While the Empire's patrol fleet was known for its high-profile nature, it wasn't quite this ostentatious.
They should have someone greet the other side and try to talk to them, to find out why they were intercepted. If they are space pirates, they should be willing to pay a price.
They should leave this place as soon as possible and return to their destination.
"Hello, we are from Eurasia Auction House. May I ask which department you belong to? We are just passing by, please allow us to pass. Our auction house will definitely reward you handsomely later."
After a long pause, a soft laugh came from the other end. "Oh, so it's the Eurasia Auction House! That's a machine for printing crystal boxes. Since you want to pay the toll, I can't stop you."
"Let's see how sincere you are!" The voice carried a hint of amusement and a touch of mockery.
But before he could finish speaking and the call was even disconnected, a child's voice came from the other end, "My dear master, you haven't really been bribed by them, have you?"
Please don't do that. Investing in a purifier is definitely worthwhile. You need to consider the long-term benefits.
The Fallen Family members, their faces contorted with resentment at the disconnected communication, looked helplessly at the little abacus on the opposite starship. "How come you can't learn even a fraction of my essence? Of course, we're on Gu Qing's side, but we can try to squeeze some benefits out of him first."
This way, we both do someone a favor and gain something in return—why not?
Little Abacus slapped its forehead hard. "Master, you are so farsighted. I am not. This time, I did disrupt your plans."
"How about this, I'll go and try to curry favor with Xiao Zhi, and then I'll get Master Gu to treat you even better."
The God of Wealth rolled his eyes and tugged at his golden combat suit. "You don't need to be so modest. At least your ability to make empty promises is almost surpassing mine."
"Master, please stop talking! Those guys are getting ready to attack us."
"It's all because you're good for nothing but causing trouble. I was thinking of stalling for time so those guys could arrive and we could put in less effort."
Now, all that shelling has cost a fortune!
Although he was muttering to himself, his hands were busy, and his little abacus was issuing various commands. He had indeed recruited quite a few fighters under his command.
After all, he has to be responsible for his own personal safety and property.
This time, Gu Qing contacted him, and he used this relationship to deepen their cooperation. After all, given Gu Qing's special status and her husband's high position, it would be impossible for ordinary people to curry favor with her.
He had his own channels, and many people posted about him. He was a businessman, so he made good use of these connections. He recruited some people with good supernatural abilities and spiritual bodies.
The Fallen Family still wanted to see if they could get through safely, so they reconnected the call. In a short time, they had already found out some details about the person on the other end.
So as soon as the call connected, he immediately identified himself. "Mr. God of Wealth, we have no past grievances or present worries. You are asking for wealth, we are asking for peace."
We know you value that person's purification abilities, but our auction house has medicine specifically for mutated humans that can perfectly replace them.
If you'd just make way, we'd be willing to offer you 10 sticks, and you wouldn't have to be controlled by anyone anymore.
Although the words were spoken politely, the cannons of each starship had been calibrated and were glowing with a blue-purple fluorescence, indicating that they were charged and ready to fire.
The starship opposite them adopted the same stance. "Well, although I love money, I acquire it ethically. I cannot agree to your conditions."
Before he could finish speaking, both sides opened fire simultaneously. It has to be said that even people with impure intentions can guess each other's actions.
