Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal - Chapter 998

Chapter 998 – Sky-High Compensation

?Galaxy Aristocrats Beta Planet Elders, welcome the Top Operatives.? As the most senior, Old Elder promptly led everyone and greeted the Top Operatives when they alighted the spacecraft.

In front of the Top Operatives, strength did not matter. They could never be stronger than them. Hence, it looked better if they stood according to their age.

?Humph.? The person leading the ten Top Operatives was a middle-aged man with silver-white short hair, brown skin, two white stripes on his face, and stood at 1.9 meters tall. He humphed and ignored the greeting. ?None of this nonsense. Find a place and we?ll tell you our conditions. Settle the rest on your own.?

Seeing how they spoke about listing their conditions directly, the Old Elder?s heart skipped a beat. He nodded his head helplessly. ?Sirs, please come this way.?

The group of people entered the Elders? conference hall.

In the conference hall, the ten Top Operatives just sat where they liked. The Old Elder could only stand in front of the silver-white short-haired man respectfully and wait for instructions.

?Your Milky Way has very talented people, indeed.? The silver-white short-haired man said coldly, ?Killing a High Noble and three Top Operatives. There is no way your Galaxy Aristocrats can shun from the consequences of this matter.?

?Yes, yes, yes.? The Old Elder was sweating profusely. ?We did not teach our people well. If we knew such a killer existed, we would have gotten rid of everything relating to him.?

?Pui, what?s the use of saying this now? ? The silver short-haired man said directly, ?According to the instructions from the upper level, this matter is extremely atrocious. The Milky Way has to cooperate with us to provide all information relating to Hong Dali. If this is done well, we will reconsider the severity of your punishment. Otherwise, don?t blame us for being ruthless.?

His words were so harsh that the Old Elder shuddered in fear, not daring to utter a word.

In comparison, Jiang Dongliu was more confident. He asked carefully, ?Then, may I know, Sir, if we cooperate with you, our punishment…?

The people had already died, there was no use saying more. The most important thing was, how the High Nobles intend to punish the Milky Way.

Hearing that, the silver short-haired man smirked. ?Compensate ten trillion Dimu Dollars, surrender Hong Dali?s home planet.?

?How… how much?!? The Elders? eyes widened in disbelief. ?Ten trillion Dimu Dollars?!?

Ten trillion Dimu Dollars, that was fifty trillion Galaxy Dollars! This was an astronomical figure!

No matter how rich the Galaxy Aristocrats were, it was not easy to come up with such an astronomical figure. Fifty trillion! Oh my God, this compensation…

?Too much?? The silver short-haired man chuckled. He scanned everyone around and said, ?This time, the parliament members are furious. They have given the instructions to level the Milky Way if you refuse any of our requests! The first to go will be Beta Planet!?

The Galaxy Aristocrat Elders were all stunned.

Fifty trillion, no negotiation! 500 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers were waiting out. Any refusal, Beta Planet would not exist anymore.

?O… okay!? Jiang Dongliu began to tremble. At a time like this, he could only agree. ?We can give you the money. But ten trillion Dimu Dollars is not a small sum. We cannot come up with all the money right away. Could we have some time??

?Some time? Sure.? The silver short-haired man smiled and said, ?Our fleet will retreat when we receive the full sum. Oh right, each day our fleet stays here, we?ll collect the expenses from you. It?s not a lot, actually. The maintenance fee for one Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carrier out on a mission is only about 3 million Galaxy Dollars. I?m sure you won?t refuse to pay such a small sum, right??

The maintenance fee for one Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carrier out on mission was about 3 million Galaxy Dollars. 500 of them were 1.5 billion Galaxy Dollars, for one day!

Of course, compared to the compensation of ten trillion Dimu Dollars, this was indeed a small sum.

?No, no.? Jiang Dongliu nodded hurriedly. The situation did not look good now. The best thing to do was to agree with whatever conditions they asked. As for the others, they?d wait for Hong Dali to officially declare war with them before deciding!

After all, it was possible for Hong Dali, who had the Golden Emperor Beetle trump card, to go head-to-head against the High Nobles.

?Seeing that you are so cooperative, I won?t make things difficult for you.? The silver short-haired man grinned, then slowly said, ?Next, give me the coordinates for Hong Dali?s home planet. Also, we will take away anyone who is close to him. No one should be missed out.?

Speaking up to this point, he waved his hand casually. ?Our time is very precious. Let?s begin. Remember, anyone who has a considerably good relationship with Hong Dali has to be brought here!?

With the silver-haired man?s instruction, the entire Milky Way began working.

Their goal was to seize everything and anyone related to Hong Dali.

The entire Galaxy Alliance Center within Shenluo City went completely crazy. Countless guards rushed to the streets to investigate everything related to Hong Dali. The result was rather ugly?Hong Dali?s properties had all closed and everyone related to Hong Dali had been sent away.

This meant that the ten Top Operatives gained nothing from their three-feet-deep investigation.

?After a full day of investigation,? The silver-haired man pounded on the meeting table. In an instant, the meeting table crumbled under the invisible pressure. It was obvious that it was not enough to appease him. ?You?re telling me that all the people related to Hong Dali have disappeared!? All his properties have closed, all employees left?!?

The Elders stood gazing at one another, not knowing what to do. They had no answers for the silver-haired man.

Although Jiang Dongliu knew in his heart what was going on, he tried to explain. ?Sir, I think, Hong Dali must have informed his people to escape once he killed Malone. After all, he actually dared to kill a High Noble, he must have thought of the consequences and took care of his people.?

What he said made perfect sense.

Hong Dali dared to kill even a High Noble. After killing him, it was impossible not to take care of his people. He would at least ask them to hide well to avoid them from being victims of his doing.

?A bunch of useless idiots.? The silver-haired man touched his chin. ?You should at least have his home planet?s coordinates, right? Don?t tell me you don?t have even that??

?Yes! We have it!? Jiang Dongliu hurriedly reported Earth?s coordinates. The silver-haired man glanced at Jiang Dongliu briefly. ?Are you sure these coordinates are correct??

?It?s correct! Absolutely correct!? Jiang Dongliu nodded vigorously. ?When Hong Dali came here, this was the home planet which he registered!?

?Good! I shall see what other tricks this Hong Dali is up to!? The silver-haired man stood up and called for his guards. After he gave them the coordinates, he said, ?Bring 100 space carriers to take a look at his home planet.?

?Yes!? A guard bowed and left to carry his orders.

?All of you can go back.? The silver-haired man waved his hand. Jiang Dongliu and the Galaxy Aristocrat Elders all took their leave.

When he left the big conference room, Jiang Dongliu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

These Top Operatives were not easy to fool. They would not be able to keep it from them for long. They had done all they could. The others could only be left to fate.

?Dongliu,? Li Xuancheng approached Jiang Dongliu and they exchanged a wink. They went to a small house immediately. ?The coordinates of Hong Dali?s home planet that you gave them, was the coordinates of the one that battled with the Zergs? The people on Hong Dali?s home planet have all been relocated. You have deceived the Top Operatives…?

?Old Li, we are now on the same boat.? Jiang Dongliu laughed helplessly, then said in a low voice, ?Hong Dali killed a High Noble and three Top Operatives, there?s no way we can disassociate this with ourselves. The question now is whether we should accept the consequences at once or take it slowly.?

?Take it slowly? You mean…? Li Xuancheng was a smart man. Otherwise, he wouldn?t wait until now to ask Jiang Dongliu this question. ?What secrets does Hong Dali have that we do not know about? Does he have the ability to turn this around??

?Something like that.? Jiang Dongliu nodded. However, it was not possible for him to go into detail. ?Did you not carefully analyze this matter??

?Killed three Top Operatives, Hong Dali…? Li Xiancheng muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly, his eyes lit up. ?Haha, so that?s it. That?s it. No wonder you are not panicking as much as I thought you would, haha!?

?Haha.? Jiang Dongliu laughed. ?Old Li, Old Li, your brain is really beyond reproach. Anyway, just remember this one word. Delay. I think we should be able to see the results soon!?

…

Among the stars in space.

Jiang Duxing flew towards the Faerie Star with the most precious Soul Stone the Galaxy Aristocrats had, the Light Soul Stone. On the way, he kept in touch with his father Jiang Dongliu, so he brought the latest news with him.

Ten Top Operatives had entered the Milky Way with 500 Fifth-level Stellar Space Carriers!
