Chapter 1009: Chapter 782: Departure… and the Movements of All Factions
No one has any idea what’s happening at the top of New Moon Auction House right now; below, the auction is still immersed in a lively atmosphere.
Up to this point, the goals of Mu Fan and Princess Yue Xi have been perfectly achieved.
After a burst of laughter among the group, Princess Yue Xi blinked at Mu Fan and said in a clear, melodious voice, “As agreed, that auction item is all yours.”
The sincere intent reached Mu Fan’s ears. He gazed at the charming girl across from him, her words full of grace and cheer, and she seemed so radiant at this moment.
This time, Mu Fan didn’t awkwardly thank her but nodded firmly. Once he escorted Princess Yue Xi back to her country, this deal would be completely finished.
As for the chubby guy, he smiled like a two-hundred-pound chrysanthemum.
White Hair looked at Spittoon Face and Kim with some regret and licked his lips, “Only one chance left, really wish I could trick them once more, but alas…”
“Play it safe,” Mu Fan grinned.
“Hahaha…”
Their side was full of laughter, but Spittoon Face and his companions were not looking pleased.
It seemed that this item was indeed their target.
“Damn it… Hmph.”
Kim looked coldly over there.
“A bit unwilling,” Spittoon Face’s eyes darted around, his voice tinged with complaint.
Kim’s pale face glanced at his partner without saying a word, a chill hidden deep within his gaze.
His other identity was an interstellar broker, and in this auction, although he lost, the intelligence he sold had already made up for his losses.
As for Qiu Huaite’s losses, they were of no concern to him.
[Let them enjoy for a little while longer.]
Smoothing his gaze, Kim sat back in his seat.
…
“What do you plan to do with such a large item?”
Looking at the huge fang, White Hair curiously asked. He couldn’t see anything special about the tooth except for its size.
It was also Mu Fan’s first time seeing a Sky Net Tooth.
The tooth had no hint of yellowing, its glimmering white surface even gleamed like jade, and its weight was extraordinarily heavy. Mu Fan roughly estimated it to be over two tons!
“Fulfilling a promise.” Mu Fan thought of his fighter instructor Mohandas, who had mentored him wholeheartedly, and for a moment, his emotions were stirred.
“Galaxy Transport’s ship has arrived.” The chubby guy looked up to the sky.
A small ship with unique livery hovered above them, slowly descending. Under the gaze of the group, the item was finally successfully loaded into the cargo hold by Galaxy Transport’s robots.
At this moment, Mu Fan finally felt a sense of relief.
The company’s century-long history boasts a record of no lost goods.
With its terrifying 100% task completion rate, Galaxy Transport demonstrates its strength.
As they arrived quietly like a breeze, they left just as silently.
When Galaxy Transport’s dedicated transport ship flew away, Mu Fan felt his heart bleeding…
Interstellar shipping cost 1.2 million Star Coins.
Thank goodness it wasn’t Hinchlo Credit Points, otherwise Mu Fan would definitely choose to carry it back himself.
Gritting his teeth, he withdrew his gaze and looked at his two companions opposite.
“We should be leaving too; the academy’s exchange competition is beginning, can’t do without you.”
White Hair lifted his fist and gently bumped it against Mu Fan’s fist.
“I’ll head back immediately after the escort is complete,” Mu Fan nodded, “Contact you once I’m back.”
The chubby guy made an OK gesture.
The extended Badab Hover Car parked steadily on the outskirts of Yunmei Star’s space port.
Having changed into a light green gown like flowing water, Princess Yue Xi was now as beautiful as a picture. She stood elegantly by the car, watching Mu Fan and his two companions say their goodbyes.
As the goodbyes ended, her melodious voice sounded, “If there’s time in the future, be sure to visit Babon Duchy, and Princess Yue Xi will surely entertain you both well.”
“Goodbye, beauty.”
“Goodbye, Princess.”
The two instantly wore goofy expressions.
Princess Yue Xi covered her mouth and giggled, greatly enjoying such a carefree and unreserved atmosphere.
Seeing the princess laugh so happily, a trace of comfort also appeared in Daisendari’s eyes. Since the Duke’s death, today was perhaps the day the princess laughed the most.
The easygoing pair waved casually, heading towards the space port shoulder to shoulder.
“Big Boss, can I discuss something with you?”
“Go ahead,” White Hair looked at his good brother with a face full of righteousness.
“Move your filthy hand off my butt.”
“Oh, my bad.”
White Hair’s face remained unchanged as he withdrew his hand, then held the chubby guy’s big face.
“MMP.”
“Translate it for me.”
“It means you’re really handsome,” the chubby guy’s voice was unusually sincere.
Their figures grew more distant, eventually disappearing from the trio’s sight.
Mu Fan turned back to look at Princess Yue Xi, the young girl’s eyes filled with laughter, “Such sincere friendship; I can feel the bond between you, Princess Yue Xi is truly envious.”
Hearing this, the simple-minded young man smiled subconsciously, replying, “Better a few close friends than many acquaintances. My friends are the ones I can entrust my back to. Don’t you have any?”
Princess Yue Xi’s mood darkened slightly, shaking her head, but her bright eyes still held a trace of hope for the future, “In that realm, that position, it’s impossible to have friends.”
“Aren’t we?” Mu Fan laughed, a carefree smile with infectious warmth.
“Of course.”
Princess Yue Xi’s mood immediately brightened again, her playful ears twitching slightly.
“Then, for the next step, let’s have the impressive Mr. Mu Fan escort me back to Babon Duchy.”
Mu Fan’s curious gaze fell on those cute little ears, and in his sight, they tinged with a blush as they twitched at her light laughter.
The girl shot a shy glance at Mu Fan, resembling a startled little rabbit, hurriedly sitting back in the car.
“Hmph!”
Daisendari walked to Mu Fan’s side, flexed his arm in defiance, and also got into the back seat.
The two cute and charming maids puffed their cheeks at Mu Fan and scrunched up their noses, humming in unison, then following Princess Yue Xi into the car.
Mu Fan awkwardly scratched his head.
But those little pointy ears were really fun…
This elongated Badab Hover Car showcased exceptional noise-canceling and powerful performance. Naturally, Princess Yue Xi’s private spacecraft wasn’t in the public space port but parked at the renowned “Noble Lighthouse.”
…
When Mu Fan and the others left, no one knew that about a kilometer away, in a sky restaurant, a half-blood man named Kim, dressed in a black tailored suit, was holding a brass monocular eyepiece, gazing out the window.
“What, are you admiring the beautiful scenery of the nearby New Moon City? Today’s auction was so long; aren’t you hungry, Kim?” Qiu Huaite asked, full of concern, while holding a dish of sticky liquid food.
Kim gave his companion a light glance, “Not very hungry, I’m looking at this magnificent city, wondering how many hidden billionaires are concealed here. I still have some business to attend to, so we might part ways here.”
“Alright, until next cooperation,”
Qiu Huaite, though holding some grievances, was nevertheless pleased with their successful procurement of the target item in the last auction, making the trade worthwhile.
Putting away his monocular eyepiece, Kim prepared to leave the sky restaurant quickly.
However, as the floating stairs began to ascend, and the elevator doors opened,
Kim, dressed in a fitted suit, found himself locking eyes with six people inside the floating elevator.
“Mr. Kim, where are you headed?”
A strange, stiff voice came from the middle-aged man leading the group.
Three polished fang necklaces were exceptionally prominent at this moment.
As he finished speaking, the five towering figures, each close to two meters tall, simultaneously stepped aside.
The skull masks exuded a chilling aura that enveloped the five figures, creating an incredibly eerie atmosphere.
