Banquet hall terrace.
Austin punches the railing.
“Ouch! It hurts…”
He looked at the railing in horror and touched it again.
"Fuck White Obsidian?"
Obsidian is one of the hardest minerals, rare and expensive, and has a certain sacred meaning. It is generally used as decoration in temples.
Who has the money and nothing better to do than use obsidian to make railings?!
Several disguised paparazzi surrounded him with terminals.
"What's going on on Starnet?" Austin asked, blowing on his red hands.
"There's a slight trend of a counterattack, mainly because the opening dance was so atmospheric, and many fans were singing along."
"But most people are still discussing whether Pei Ji was just playing around."
Austin said fiercely, "Keep a close eye on him! Don't miss any of his ugly behavior!"
He rolled his eyes, "It would be best if I could capture him giving Chen Que the cold shoulder or a scene where the two of them don't look familiar with each other. All intimate actions must be cut out!"
The paparazzi showed an embarrassment, "But... the admiral never left his wife's side. They were always intimate..."
"Stupid! I can't cut it without you! I can't graft it!"
"and……"
"And what?"
The paparazzi lowered his voice: "It seems like someone is watching us. Many people's cameras suddenly broke down for some reason... Sometimes it's just the time it takes to drink water..."
Austin slapped him in the face: "Who allowed you to drink water during work hours?! If you're a paparazzi, you should be prepared to die of thirst and starvation!"
"Did I give you triple your wages just to come to the party and eat, drink and have fun?!"
The paparazzi nodded humbly: "Yes, yes, yes..."
Taking a deep breath, Austin straightened the collar of his uniform and sneered.
"It seems that Pei Ji did make some preparations, but it's a pity that they're useless. I want to see whether he can pinch faster or my Star Network can transmit faster!"
"Oh, and that opening dance of his, what the hell! And the atmosphere... let's have a few professionals critique it frame by frame and give it a catchy title, like 'Looking handsome is awesome, but you're not allowed to criticize a bad dancer?'"
The paparazzi gave a thumbs-up and said, "You are the young master after all!"
The other paparazzi nodded frequently. "I'm not saying anything, Young Master, with your talent for guiding public opinion, it's a shame you're joining the fleet. You should come to the Tree of Life Marketing Department."
Austin listened with elation.
Just wait and see, Pei Ji.
You don't care about other people's opinions, but Shen Que doesn't necessarily mean that you don't care.
The former commander of the First Fleet was extremely cautious every time he appeared in public, and his words were carefully considered.
How could such a reserved person bear to be talked about together with a black and red thing like you?
Divorce is inevitable!
Austin whistled inwardly.
…
One-third of the way through the banquet, Pei Li sat back in the lord's seat.
Old Hall came running over in a panic.
"Admiral, it's coming!"
Pei Ji replied, "I understand."
He put down the plate and used his arms to pull up Chen Que, who was still savoring the last bit of sweetness on his tongue.
Shen Que was slightly stunned, then realized.
——The assets will be disclosed.
Pei Ji raised the corner of his mouth and leaned close to Shen Que's ear.
"Soon I'll be one of the richest Alphas in the entire Baisha Star."
"Is there anything you like? Gems? Starships? Or even a vacation asteroid? I can buy it for you..."
Shen Que's eyebrows did not move, but his heart sank slowly.
Pei Ji had no idea that he had a share in the property, let alone that this share also included the mineral business.
The voice of the Lord of Baisha Star rang out.
Gems, checks, shares worth hundreds of millions, an entire Third Oasis...
From time to time, there were sounds of people gasping for air in the conference hall.
By the end of the long list, even Shen Que felt a little numb.
"All of the above properties have been judged by the Imperial Justice Council. From this moment on, they will belong to my only son, Pei Ji. May wealth follow him forever."
The older man paused slightly.
"Next, I will announce another part of the property that belongs to my only son, Omega, the wife of the young lord of Baisha Star, Shen Que."
The whispering suddenly became louder.
In the paparazzi's live broadcast room, the barrage of comments also exploded.
[What the hell?! Is there something else that is accurate?! ! !]
[Oh my god, I was so confused by what I just heard. It turns out it’s just the son, but is there also a daughter-in-law?]
[Just a quick question: How much is the Fleet Commander-in-Chief's salary? Is it even one-tenth of what's been announced?]
[One tenth? You're really underestimating Shen Que... Not even one twentieth!]
[Hahaha, why would I, who earns 1,000 Star Coins a month, stay up late to read this?]
[Wuwuwu, I won't watch anymore. My body is uncomfortable.]
[My mom, if you give me this much money, I can even let you live a life of widowhood, not just run away from the wedding!]
…
In the venue, everyone's attention was focused on Shen Que, but Shen Que didn't care at all.
He was looking at Pei Ji.
His Alpha frowned and stared at Pei Li who was in the high position, not knowing what he was thinking.
Pei Ji has always been very sensitive to other people's gazes, especially his, but at this moment, he didn't notice himself.
As expected...will you still care?
Shen Que looked at him calmly.
After listing all his properties one by one, Pei Li slowly uttered his last words:
"...and the mineral business on White Sand Planet."
The discussion could no longer be suppressed:
"My God... the mineral business..."
