Pei Ji's eyes lit up and his gaze fixed on the mecha necklace.
Garnier twirled the necklace. "You've done well, beyond my expectations. But before I get your reward, I have one more question for you."
Pei Ji looked away, "What?"
Garnier: "Are you interested in being mine?"
"Your people?" Pei Ji sneered, "What do you mean by your people?"
"Colleague, colleague, companion, whatever you want to call me." Garnier spread his hands. "I like you very much. We can work together in the future."
"I don't even know who you are." Pei Ji said coldly.
Garnier suddenly lifted up his mask and threw it onto the sofa.
"Now you know."
He was naturally serious and indifferent, with a mocking smile on his face as he appeared in front of Pei Ji.
"Ganil Harris, Baron, nice to meet you."
Pei Ji was slightly stunned. With his current identity, he shouldn't be able to recognize him even if he saw his face.
He frowned and said in a deep voice:
"I really didn't expect...it would be the Baron."
"Your reaction is very good." Garnier looked at Pei Ji and felt very satisfied. "I like calm people."
Pei Ji glanced at him and paused for a moment, "I thought that as a baron, you should respect the lord very much."
Garnier shook his hand. "Don't ask unnecessary questions."
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Baron is the lowest rank of nobility. As someone in a higher position, what they see is never you as a person, but your money, connections, and... the resources behind you."
"Without these, you are nothing."
Pei Ji: "It seems the Baron has a story?"
Garnier smiled. "A vulgar story."
A cheesy, underdog story.
He once thought he was talented, so he left his hometown and went to Messiah to make a living, but in the end he was taught a hard lesson by reality.
The position of navigator, which was only one step away from him, would never be his, even if his performance far exceeded that of his opponent.
Just because he is not a noble of the royal court, and because those high and mighty guys look down on his background!
The contemptuous look Carolina gave him on the day of the selection came to his mind again.
Garnier's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and his expression became a little ferocious.
What right does the queen, who has no royal blood and came to the throne through human suffering, have to discriminate against him!
Pei Ji observed him calmly.
"I do think that personal ability is still somewhat useful. Whether it's the Lord of White Sand Star or the Queen of Messiah, they are both fair people."
Jin He, the highest administrative minister of Baisha Star, is not a noble, and Messiah is even less so.
The Queen herself is not of royal blood, and many of the senior generals in the seven fleets promoted by Carolina are of ordinary star origin.
On the contrary, those with aristocratic backgrounds will be promoted more strictly.
Otherwise, with his achievements, he should be able to compete for the marshal.
And there was Luo Yuan. Even though he was not tall enough and had no military school background, the Queen still made an exception and approved his application after seeing his excellent grades.
"You are too naive." Garnier smiled contemptuously.
Pei Ji: "Maybe, but I have no intention of cooperating with the authorities. I like a freer life."
He paused, "The black factory is very good."
Garnier narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure?"
Pei Ji raised his eyes and said seriously, "I'm sure."
"What a pity."
Ganier half-closed his eyes and looked at the soldiers behind Pei Ji.
One of the soldiers received the order and took out a syringe filled with golden liquid from his waist.
He glanced at the girl who had her back to him and approached silently.
Garnier: "I truly admire your abilities."
"There are many people who admire me." Pei Ji smiled meaningfully, "but there are even more people who hate me."
"Trust me, Baron, you will gain nothing by cooperating with me."
"Alright." Garnier took out the mecha necklace and slowly walked towards the girl in front of him. "According to the agreement, you can obtain the right to use the 3S mecha, but only within the black factory. Otherwise, I will revoke the permission."
"Can."
Pei Ji left the sofa and leaned forward.
The soldier holding the syringe was less than half a meter away from Pei Ji.
He stretched out his hand.
——Less than thirty centimeters.
Garnier put down the necklace, and the round container fell into Pei Ji's palm.
——Less than ten centimeters.
Pei Ji's gaze was fixed on the necklace, with undisguised desire in his eyes.
Garnier stared at him.
——Five centimeters.
The next moment, he suddenly grabbed the chain, and the container was just hanging above Pei Ji's palm.
At the same time, the soldier raised the syringe, aimed it at the back of Pei Ji's neck, and stabbed it hard!
Everything happened almost at the same moment.
Pei Ji's eyes turned cold, he dodged the syringe sideways, raised his knee suddenly, and hit the soldier's stomach accurately.
The soldier groaned, his stomach suddenly tightened, he spat out a mouthful of bloody acid, and the syringe fell out of his hand.
Garnier's pupils shrank, and he retracted the necklace as quickly as possible.
The remaining three soldiers immediately opened fire in Pei Ji's direction.
Pei Ji released his mental strength instantly, and with one hand he flipped over the sofa, easily dodging the bullet.
As it happens, mask time is over.
The figure that landed on the ground suddenly rose taller, the long hair disappeared, the facial features became cold and sharp, and a sneer appeared at the corners of the mouth.
"It seems the black factory's technology is still not up to par. I thought it could last for a while."
A arrogant voice sounded.
Seeing Garnier's face turn pale in an instant, his tight lips trembled, and his expression changed several times, it was extremely exciting.
Pei Ji glanced at the syringe that rolled to the ground, and the coldness in his smile turned into mockery.
"I'm so sorry, the last guy who tried to turn me into a bug is still in jail."
