Harriss Secret
Xia Fei did not know that Harriss industrial ship was actually empty. To him, Harriss was just a common smuggler in the galaxy, and one who lived like a prince.
"Follow me."
Xia Fei turned around and headed for the command deck, holding the navigation computer memory that Harriss had given him.
Harriss carefully put down the two bags and followed Xia Feis footsteps. The two bags were filled with food and some machinery and plants that Xia Feis did not understand. They did not seem to be of much value.
The Vexor-class cruiser was huge, and the more Harriss followed behind Xia Fei, the more surprised he became. Was he the only one on this huge ship?
Inside the command deck, Xia Fei skillfully connected the navigation computer memory to the mainframe.
Begin system check, Xia Fei ordered the AI computer.
A few seconds later, a cold female voice said, The navigation computer memory is safe. You can open it now.
The AI mainframe was an advanced computer system. Any external data input program needed to be verified by the system, and only after confirming that there were no viruses or unsafe programs could the data be read.
Open it.
The screen flashed quickly, and in less than a second, all the data had been read into the Tomahawk's mainframe.
Xia Fei turned around to look at Harriss, only to see him carefully standing by the door.
Have a seat. Xia Fei said, Im heading to a planet called DLC-113 in Black Abyss, but Im not familiar with this route. How accurate is the data in your navigation computer?
Harriss patted his chest with a smile. Ive been to DLC-113 before, too. I've been on this route at least seven or eight times, so theres nothing wrong with it.
Xia Fei nodded and gave an order to the AI computer. "Refer to the new data and determine the fastest route."
Yes, the route correction begins.
A few moments later, the route correction was completed, and the estimated time of arrival was shortened from twenty-seven days to nineteen. It seemed that Harriss navigation data was quite detailed and accurate.
Following Xia Fei's signal, Harriss carefully checked the route on the screen.
Shouldnt be a problem. The only threat on this route is pirates, but your ship has the Adjudicator Union insignia, so most pirates wont have any designs on it, Harriss said with a smile.
The automatic navigation system was reactivated, and they flew toward the Black Abyss Star Region according to this new route.
Xia Fei brought Harry to a crew cabin. The interior of the Tomahawk had not been modified according to Xia Feis usual style, so it still retained the spacious and comfortable beds and extremely luxurious living space.
Youre going to stay here for the duration of the voyage. Youre best not to go anywhere other than during mealtimes, especially not to enter the command center. The moment Ill notice you doing anything sneaky, Ill not hesitate to throw you into space, understood? Xia Feis face darkened.
Harry nodded repeatedly. "I'll listen to you. If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me. Cooking, cleaning, I can do it all."
Finding a chair to sit on, Xia Fei lit a Hongtashan cigarette and took a few puffs before asking, "I heard that the Death Trio Star Region isn't very peaceful right now? You often run this route, so you should know something. "
"Well, there's a leader in each of the three star regions, and they represent the interests of the tycoons and warlords in their respective star regions. None of them see eye to eye with each other. As you know, the Death Trio Star Region is very barren. Not to mention the food they have to feed their huge population, they have to import it from the Alliance.
"Because of the existence of this vast No Man's Zone, it's very difficult to transport supplies from the Alliance. Though there will be Alliance fleets escorting supplies every few months, it's far from enough to feed the population of the three star regions. Even if there are many small merchants like me who rely on transporting food and medicine to make a living, it's still very difficult to fill everyone's stomachs.
"Recently, a new star system was discovered at the border of the three star regions. This star system has four planets that are very suitable for human habitation, and they can produce large amounts of food. The warlords of the three star regions have already clashed many times over these four planets, and there might even be a war," Harry said excitedly.
There was no day or night in space, so it was up to him to decide when to work and when to rest. Though he was already far away from Earth, Xia Fei was still used to living a twenty-four-hour life on Earth.
When night fell, Harry took the initiative to make dinner and even cleaned up the kitchen. Xia Fei quite liked his humble attitude. After all, most men did not like doing laundry or cooking, and Xia Fei was no exception.
After dinner, Xia Fei locked himself in his room and started reading Introduction to Computer Coding. The book was broad and profound, and Xia Fei would gain a new understanding every time he read it. It was as if there was an endless amount of knowledge waiting for him to learn from it.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei felt like there was a mental energy spying on him around the room.
The corner of Xia Fei's lips twitched as he lay on his bed and turned off his microcomputer, pretending to sleep.
Aside from Xia Fei, Harry was the only other person on the Tomahawk, so this mental energy could not have come from anyone else. As a warlord, Xia Fei was very familiar with mental energy. He could vaguely sense that Harry did not have any ill intentions and was purely probing him.
Soon, Xia Fei fell asleep.
After Harry's mental energy repeatedly probed Xia Fei's location, it seemed to be heading for Xia Fei's brain.
What do you plan to do? Phantom chuckled and said, "I didn't expect this Harry to be a spiritual-type ability user, but his level is much lower than yours."
Xia Fei replied softly in his mind, Let's wait and see. As long as I want to, I can use the mental backlash to kill him.
Using mental power to spy on others was a dangerous move. If the other party's mental power was stronger than his, it was very likely that he would be pulled into an endless mental vortex and die from the backlash of a stronger mental power.
A smart mental ability user would not easily spy on others unless they were completely confident, and it was obvious that Harry was not such a person.
Surprisingly, the mental energy lingered in the room for a long time before retreating. This left Xia Fei puzzled. Why would it retreat when it was already so close to him?
Sitting up in bed, Xia Fei shook his head. Weird. What is it trying to do?
Not sure, but from what I can see, he seems to be very interested in you, but he has no ill intentions, Phantom said.
Xia Fei thought for a moment. Let's wait and see. A rabbit will eventually show its tail.
The next day, Xia Fei came to the kitchen early and found that Harry was already up.
Sir Xia Fei, this is your breakfast.
Harry smiled as he brought over a plate of scrambled eggs and milk. There were even a few thin slices of ham underneath the eggs and some lettuce on the side.
Xia Fei nodded. Not only did Harry's breakfast taste good, it was also very exquisite. One look and he could tell that it was an elegant aristocratic breakfast. The eggs were 70% done and melted in his mouth. The ham was sliced as thin as paper, demonstrating his excellent knife skills. The lettuce was carefully washed, and the stem was removed, leaving only the green leaves.
How could a smuggler who was busy making a living make such an exquisite breakfast? This greatly increased Xia Fei's doubts. He thought back to the sea bass stewed with shiitake mushrooms from last night. It was also very exquisite, with not a single fishbone to be found. It was just that Xia Fei did not suspect Harry at the time, so he did not pay much attention to it.
After breakfast, Xia Fei lit a cigarette and pretended to casually ask, Harry, youre pretty good at cooking. Where did you learn it?
Harry smiled as he put away the utensils Xia Fei had used and took them to the sink to wash. My mother used to be a kitchen maid in a wealthy household, so I learned how to cook from her when I was young. Its good that you like it. I saw asparagus in the fridge, so Ill make a veal stewed with asparagus for lunch.
"Oh." Xia Fei nodded, not saying anything else.
The next night, Harry's mental energy entered Xia Fei's room once more. This time, Xia Fei was more cautious and did not go to sleep right away. Instead, he cultivated in his room as if nothing had happened. After a few hours, Harry withdrew his mental energy and left.
The third and fourth days were the same. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Due to the Tomahawk's huge deterrence, no pirates dared to target it, so the voyage was very smooth.
Arent you planning to lay your cards on the table? Phantom asked.
Xia Fei smiled. Ill give him one last chance tonight. Hopefully, hes not going to disappoint me.
Dinner was as exquisite as ever. Xia Fei had been eating well lately, so he had even gained a little weight. He ate slowly and carefully before returning to his room, leaving Harry alone in the kitchen to tidy up the place.
What a shame; this will probably be the last time I get to eat such a delicious meal. Xia Fei muttered to himself as he closed the door.
It was fifteen minutes to midnight, and Harry's mental energy reached its peak on time.
What was disappointing was that his mental energy only stayed in the room for less than five minutes before withdrawing, much faster than before.
Gui Ying sighed, "You have killing intent in your heart, he must have felt that it was different from usual, so he became more cautious. In that case, his perception is still quite sensitive, to be able to feel such a small change."
Xia Fei jumped up from his bed and strode toward Harry's room. Ive already given him a chance. No matter what his goal is, Im not playing with him any longer.
To make it easier to keep an eye on him, Xia Fei arranged for Harry's room to be right next to his, so the distance was not too far.
Pushing open the door, he saw Harry looking at Xia Fei with a pale face.
"You felt it from the beginning?"
Xia Fei nodded with a smile. I'll give you two choices. One, Ill throw you out right now. Two, tell me your goal, and Ill throw you out.
Harry thought about it for a moment before he suddenly laughed happily. Xia Fei was slightly surprised by Harry's reaction. It was as if he was not afraid of death.
