Chapter 107 Both are devoted men
Omar possesses an A+ level mental ability, equivalent to the ninth rank, which is two ranks higher than Matt.
His awakened skill is the Soul-Stealing Skill, which can easily bewitch and control superhumans of the same or lower level. His ability to gather information is among the best in the entire galaxy.
However, in order not to expose the secret that the Star Lord had secretly infiltrated Bran City, he dared not approach Lady Xuan.
However, he still managed to bewitch Madam Xuan's personal maid, Meg, through soul-capturing, and obtain useful information from her.
"Lord Star, according to Meg, there is a new pot of lush green grass on Madam Xuan's bedside table. Madam treasures that pot of grass and has strictly ordered Meg not to even touch the flowerpot."
Furthermore, when Meg goes into the bedroom to clean, she can feel that the air in the bedroom is much fresher than before.
Meg added that she noticed Mrs. Xuan had been in a very good mood these past few days; even the crow's feet around her eyes had faded considerably, and her skin had become whiter and smoother, making her look several years younger. "Omar exclaimed excitedly.
"It seems she really has made a breakthrough! That's wonderful! Heaven has finally heard my prayers. This is the best news I've ever received in my life!" Xiao Ran exclaimed excitedly.
When he was young, he thought that the destruction of the Houston family was the biggest surprise of his life. But only today, when he heard the news that she had made a breakthrough and could extend her life by two hundred years, did he realize that this was the biggest surprise of his life!
Years ago, Xiao Ran's father, Xiao Qi, was out hunting when he accidentally fell into a sinkhole and discovered a super-grade energy stone vein.
After being rescued by his companions, Xiao Qi was grateful that they hadn't abandoned him, so he told them about his discovery and planned to share the treasure with them.
As a result, one of his companions, after getting drunk, accidentally revealed the news, which was then discovered by a small family in the vicinity—the Houston family.
A dozen or so male members of the Houston family, disguised as space pirates, killed the entire hunting party overnight and set fire to their temporary encampment.
Eight-year-old Xiao Ran came to visit his father with his mother and stayed at the temporary camp. That day, because he was naughty, he secretly ran to a nearby lake to catch fish, thus escaping a disaster.
When he returned to the temporary camp set up by the hunting team, he found it engulfed in flames. He risked his life to drag Uncle Pan, the only member of the hunting team who was still alive, out of the fire.
Before he died, Uncle Pan told him the whole story and begged for his forgiveness while crying.
Because Uncle Pan was the one who accidentally leaked the secret while drunk.
After that, Xiao Ran went into hiding and was taken in by an orphanage. The children in the orphanage were also xenophobic and bullied him, but Qingxuan was the only child who showed him kindness.
They grew up together and fell deeply in love with each other as adults.
Just as they were looking forward to the future and preparing to save enough money to get married, Xiao Ran unexpectedly received news about the Houston family.
It turns out that they made their fortune thanks to that super-grade energy stone mine, and in just fifteen years, they have become the leading family in Bran City.
In order to take a shortcut to revenge, Xiao Ran used his outstanding talent and handsome appearance to bewitch Carmen Houston, the most beloved daughter of the Houston family patriarch.
He kept all of this from Qingxuan, of course. But unexpectedly, Carmen Houston, in order to gain fame, promised the media that on her wedding day, she would send cakes to all the orphanages in the city so that everyone could share in her joy.
On the wedding day, Xiao Ran held the bride's hand, cut the huge wedding cake, and personally pushed the cake into the family's luxurious private room.
He personally presented each member of the Houston family with a piece of cake, a total of twenty-eight pieces!
Of the sixteen family members who killed his father's hunting party, fifteen of them died of illness, and the other fifteen were among these twenty-eight.
He sprayed champagne mixed with sleeping pills, along with cake laced with deadly poison, and set a fire...
To clear himself of suspicion, he also ate a bite of the poisoned cake, keeping the dose of poison to a level that wouldn't kill him.
He even deliberately had his leg broken in the fire, then dragged the broken leg into the bathroom, covered his mouth and nose with a wet rag, and ultimately became the only survivor of the fire.
Everything went according to his plan, except he overlooked the fact that Qingxuan was pregnant after learning of his marriage, and that she miscarried because she couldn't bear the blow of her childhood sweetheart's betrayal.
Once Xiao Ran snapped out of his reverie, he immediately ordered Omar to take him to the hotel where Xiao Bai and the others were staying.
At this moment, Xiao Bai, who had just returned to the hotel lobby after successfully shaking off the space pirates who were following him with the help of the Illusion Mask, had earned more than 200 million contribution points from the auction house.
Then he saw a man sitting in the private room next to him walking towards him with elegant steps.
“Hello, Mr. Bai! I am Omar Hawkins. My master, Xiao Ran, would like to invite you over for a drink. He has something important to discuss with you in person.”
Xiao Bai's first reaction was that the master and servant were probably after his two hundred million contribution points.
He didn't expect that despite his great efforts, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of those with ulterior motives. Since that was the case, he decided to be ruthless.
He immediately released his pressure towards Xiao Ran, trying to see if he could intimidate him, but the pressure disappeared without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Xiao Bai was shocked!
Since he broke through to the tenth rank and arrived in the Flowing Light Star System, among all the people he has encountered so far, apart from the dragon in the ancient underwater tomb, he has never met anyone who could easily dispel his pressure.
This person's strength is unfathomable; he is even stronger than that SS-level zombie king, Gu Qituo!
But a formidable enemy had already come knocking on his door, so he naturally couldn't hide.
Xiao Bai glanced at Matt, who was following beside him, and gestured for him to find a chance to slip away and go find Boyiyan to come and help.
But then the formidable enemy stood up from his chair and smiled at him, saying, "Mr. Bai, don't be nervous! I have no ill intentions towards you. Please do me the honor of coming over for a chat."
Since the other party had said that, Xiaobai had no choice but to stride over and sit down opposite him.
Matt, on the other hand, dawdled slowly, ready to slip away at any moment.
But Omar smiled and gestured for him to proceed, then easily intercepted the mental net he had released to transmit the message.
"Mr. Matt, since the master is discussing business, let's relax a bit. Please have a seat!"
"Could you tell me how high your psychic ability level is?" Matt didn't bother with pleasantries and asked directly.
“Mr. Matt, you should have already guessed it, shouldn’t you?” Omar said with a smile.
"A+ or S?" Matt asked.
“A+ rank, my master is SSS rank,” Omar said calmly.
"Hiss!" Matt gasped, then blurted out, "He's that mysterious star lord of Planet Tron?"
“As far as I know, there isn’t another SSS-class on the entire planet Tron,” Omar said.
Upon hearing this, Matt's tense heart calmed down: "Thank goodness, you're not space pirates."
"Hahaha! Mr. Matt, why do you think my master and I are space pirates?" Omar couldn't help but burst into laughter.
“Hey! We just got back from the auction!” Matt said frankly.
Since the other party is a Star Lord, they certainly couldn't be after their two hundred million contribution points.
After all, Trond Star is one of the richest planets in the entire galaxy. How could Xiao Ran, as the star lord, be so short-sighted?
Omar finally understood why the master and servant were so nervous.
It's understandable, considering they were unfamiliar with the area and suddenly received a large sum of money. It's normal for them to worry about being targeted by space pirates.
The two sat down and began to leisurely drink beverages and eat fruit.
On the other side, seeing that the other party was nervous, Xiao Ran didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and said directly, "I came here today specifically to thank you and your husband. Thank you for giving Madam Xuan the opportunity to break through."
"Madam Xuan has indeed made a breakthrough, congratulations! However, this is also due to her own accumulated strength, which allowed her to achieve this naturally with the help of a little external force."
"This whole thing started because she showed kindness to my wife first. We were just returning the favor, there's no need to be so polite." Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that the powerful space pirate he thought was actually a guest who came to express his gratitude, causing him a false alarm.
After exchanging information, the two men developed feelings for each other.
Xiao Ran thought this person was good; she had thought that a crisis was coming and that he had stepped up to help.
Hearing the thanks, he attributed all the credit to his wife. He is a responsible and magnanimous man!
Xiao Bai also thought Xiao Ran was quite good. The other party was clearly of a higher level than him, yet he was willing to condescend to come and thank her for the sake of that Madam Xuan.
As fellow men deeply in love, he was even more impressed by the undisguised affection in Xiao Ran's eyes when he saw her mention Madam Xuan.
"By the way, I'm not here just to express my gratitude verbally. As the master of Troon Star, I should do my part as a host."
However, I truly do not know what my most distinguished guest needs, so please tell me clearly, so that I, as the host, will not have to worry about guessing.
Please don't hesitate to refuse; I will only feel at ease if I can meet your and your family's needs.
"Because Madam Xuan's life is more important than mine, your help in her breakthrough is equivalent to extending her life. No amount of gratitude is too much for me," Xiao Ran said sincerely.
Xiao Bai gazed at the extremely handsome man before him. Even with a full head of white hair, his stunning good looks remained undiminished. Luckily, he hadn't noticed the fan in his house, or he might have been attracted to it as well.
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in his own appearance, but rather that he worried about becoming aesthetically fatigued from seeing so many handsome men. Therefore, it was best to get rid of these men who were just as good-looking as himself as possible.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai stopped being coy and said directly, "Since the Star Lord is so kind, I won't stand on ceremony."
To be honest, my wife's lifelong wish is to travel to more vast star systems. If you have any clues about star maps, please point them out; we would be extremely grateful.
