Chapter 25
As Gae felt the warm attitude of the two people who had previously ignored him, and with other races in the space, whether he recognized them or not, either coming over to greet him or giving him a polite nod, it was clear that they were treating him as an equal. Gae's heart couldn't help but feel complicated.
His actions within the Canaanite tribe were extremely secretive, and his power was deeply concealed. Not to mention these outsiders, even within the Canaanite tribe itself, few people truly knew of his power; they only thought he was an ordinary and mediocre third prince.
So, how much do those intelligent beings who seem to have little contact with them actually know about them? At this moment, Gae actually felt a chill run down his spine.
The eldest son of the Beast Clan was extremely enthusiastic towards Gae, and the eldest prince of the Flame Clan also stayed. The three of them stood together, forming a small circle. Gae did not refuse their approach, because he urgently needed the information they shared.
At the same time, Gae noticed that in this large hall, most of the remaining people were gathered in twos and threes, as if they had formed an alliance. Occasionally, one or two people stood alone in a corner, not too far from the group, seemingly gathering information from their conversations.
He learned from the eldest prince of the Beast Clan and the eldest prince of the Flame Clan that they had arrived here a day earlier than him. Before that, they had also been forced to hand over their territory on their own race's home planet by a Civilian starship that appeared out of nowhere and was forced to do so by the guns of its cannons.
Then, their subsequent experiences were exactly the same as his. After being brought onto the starship, they were locked in a room alone until yesterday, when they were brought here and saw the other people.
Actually, this place, to be precise, is no different from the room where they were previously confined—another enclosed space from which they cannot escape, only larger and with a wider range of movement, allowing them to interact. They are currently in the main hall. Further inside are many small rooms similar to their previous ones. As long as no one is living in one, they can freely choose to stay in any of them. To show his hospitality, the eldest prince of the Beast Clan personally led Ga'e to choose an empty room, showing him how to open and close the door. Then the three of them returned to the main hall.
At this moment, the silver wall in the hall opened silently again, and the various races' heirs who had been exchanging ideas in the hall fell silent and looked in that direction.
As expected, a group of expressionless Chileans stood outside the open entrance, and then a cold voice said, "Go in."
A short figure, only as tall as an Chilean's thigh, walked in cautiously and shakily.
The figure was incredibly short; all the races in the hall had to lower their gazes to look at him. He had snow-white skin, large, watery eyes, two pointed beast ears on his head, and a large, fluffy tail trailing behind him. Upon entering, he cautiously shrank into a corner. When he looked up and clearly saw the people in the hall, especially recognizing several races, his face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror, as if he wanted to flee at any moment. He exuded an aura of…weakness.
Those who didn't recognize the race of the newcomer were fine; they simply scrutinized him with inquisitive eyes.
Those who recognized his race were filled with astonishment and disbelief. The eldest son of the Beast Clan stared at him in disbelief for a long time before his cheeks flushed red, as if he had been insulted, and he said, "The Ear Fox Clan? How did he end up here?"
The various races in the Star Beast Domain are hierarchical. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, powerful races can naturally oppress and enslave weaker races. The Ear Fox Clan is a race that reproduces quickly but is also weak. Because of their weakness and rapid reproduction, they were sold to various planets by Star Beast Merchants, where they multiplied and thrived, becoming a large race widely distributed across many planets inhabited by other races.
However, a large number does not mean a good life. Because they are too weak and reproduce easily, the ear foxes are the lowest-ranking servants in any race and receive no pity whatsoever.
The most arduous, tiring, and dangerous tasks are always done by the Ear Fox Clan. If they anger their masters, they are often beaten to death or maimed. Because they are cheap, they are almost expendable. The lowest of slaves seems to be the label of the Ear Fox Clan.
The ear-fox before them, though not the filthy, matted mess they usually saw, and judging by their status, was likely also a royal heir of the ear-fox clan. But could a royal heir of the ear-fox clan be compared to them?!
Since arriving here and seeing the royal heirs of other races, the eldest son of the Beast Clan had already guessed that the Intelligent Clan had gathered them together, seemingly to prepare them for an event that only the royal heirs of various races were qualified to participate in.
Whatever that matter was, it was something only someone of his level could participate in. Since arriving here, almost all the races he'd seen and recognized were as powerful as his own Beast Clan. Even those he didn't know exuded the aura of strength, filling him with a strong sense of identity. But what was happening now? The Ear-Fox Clan had actually appeared here? Did those intelligent races consider the Ear-Fox Clan to be on equal footing with his esteemed Beast Clan?!
At this moment, the eldest son of the Beast Clan felt deeply insulted.
The prince of the Fox Clan sensed the hostile gaze of the eldest prince of the Beast Clan and immediately hid in the place furthest away from him.
"Still dare to hide?" The eldest son of the Beast Clan's gaze was ferocious. Just as he was about to walk over and teach the other party a lesson, the silver wall that had closed not long ago opened again.
At this moment, everyone's gaze immediately turned to that direction again, including the eldest son of the Beast Clan. When he saw who had walked in, his eyes almost froze for a moment, and he completely forgot about teaching that Ear Fox Clan member a lesson.
The person who walked in was like a magnet for attention, attracting far more eye-catching than anyone who had entered before. The reason was simple: the figure who walked in truly embodied the ultimate in glittering and eye-catching glamour.
The ruby hanging on her forehead, the several large, round pearls around her neck that shimmered with a soft glow, the gorgeous clothes that changed luster with every step, and the huge gemstone rings on each of her ten fingers.
The man walked in and was taken aback when he saw the crowd in the hall. He looked at each person's face for a moment, then quickly realized something. The seriousness on his face lessened considerably, replaced by a wicked and arrogant smile. "It seems I'm late. Is there any prince who can explain to me what's going on?"
Looking at that magnificent and arrogant figure, Ga'e moved his lips slightly and said, "Sangkuang Clan."
Neither the eldest prince of the Beast Clan nor the eldest prince of the Flame Clan spoke, but they both stared intently at the figure, the Sangkuang Clan, a powerful and incredibly wealthy race.
The planet of the Sangkuang tribe has abundant gem mines and rich resources, and its people are wealthy. These gem mines allow them to easily exchange for anything they want. The royal family of the Sangkuang tribe has always been the most extravagant among all races, and their deeds are widely circulated among various races, making them a popular topic of conversation.
Other races were not without their envy of the Sangkuang tribe's wealth, but the Sangkuang tribe, while wealthy, also had the strength to protect that wealth, making them a race not to be trifled with.
Therefore, this is a powerful and wealthy entity, whose overall strength ranks among the top among all races.
Because of the wealth and power of the Sangkuang tribe, even in this environment, after the Sangkuang prince asked that question, two royal heirs stepped forward to answer it. The Sangkuang prince listened very attentively, a thoughtful expression on his face.
The eldest prince of the Beast Clan looked at the two people who couldn't wait to fawn over him and couldn't help but scoff, muttering, "Sycophants." They've really disgraced their royal heirs.
Even so, the eldest prince of the Beast Clan couldn't help but glance at the strings of pearls hanging around the neck of the crown prince of the Mulberry Mining Clan. He tried hard not to show any jealousy. Those were deep-sea pearls of the Water Fish Clan, which had the effect of developing the body's potential. Each one was priceless. Even though he was the eldest prince of the Beast Clan, he had only managed to obtain two through great difficulty. He usually kept them carefully close to his body. He didn't have the same kind of extravagance as someone who would just get several strings and hang them around their neck.
The eldest son of the Beast Clan felt increasingly uneasy, and finally simply turned his head away to avoid looking at that place, so as not to upset himself.
After the Sangkuang tribe, no one else entered the hall, except for a few Zhi tribe members who came in later. On a large round table in the hall, many pale yellow tubular objects were placed.
The various races were already familiar with this thing, and after the intelligent race left, they all stepped forward and took a few.
Just as the fox-eared prince with his bushy tail reached for the nutrient solution on the table, a furious roar came from behind him: "Get out of my way!"
The prince of the Fox Clan trembled in fright and immediately shrank to the farthest place. He waited for the eldest prince of the Beast Clan to take the food, and seeing that no one was near the table, he took two of them and immediately shrank into a corner.
To facilitate better communication and obtain updates as soon as possible, almost all the royal heirs gather in this hall when they are awake, only returning to their rooms when they really need to rest.
As Gae pondered the question, he realized that the hall was almost empty when he came to his senses. He started to walk back to his room to sleep, but when he saw the white ball huddled in the corner of the hall, he paused. Clearly, no one had told him how to open the door.
Gae had no prejudice against the Ear Fox Clan, but he didn't think that the weak Ear Fox Clan was worth his time. However, the scene that no one told him about after everyone else left still touched him. His eyes darkened because the scene reminded him of his weak and pathetic childhood.
Those memories, no matter when they came to mind, were always bleak and never made anyone happy. When Gae came to his senses again, he realized that he had unknowingly walked up to the other person.
The prince of the fox clan was trembling as he looked at him, his large, watery eyes filled with terror.
Gae couldn't help but chuckle at his own decision to come here, but since he was already here, he wasn't going to change his mind.
He stretched out a hand, casually picked up the other person, then walked to a door and put him down, saying, "Watch, I'll teach you how to open the door."
After explaining, Gae demonstrated how to open and close the door, then lowered his gaze and asked, "Do you understand now?"
The prince of the fox clan nodded repeatedly, the fear in his eyes disappearing. He looked at Ga'ai with utmost sincerity and said, "Thank you."
However, Gae was too lazy to listen to the other person's thanks, nor did he want to continue to pay attention to the other person. Seeing that the other person had agreed, he opened his door without looking back and went inside.
At that moment, Gae had no idea how, in that short period of time, he had made the most valuable investment of his life.
