Lauren was anxious. He hated the ban on flying mechs in Guilar City, but then he remembered that he had voted for the ban, and could only smile wryly. Greda was really disappointing. It was fine if he caused a little trouble, but others wouldn't go overboard for his sake. Who knew that he would offend those Jie experts today!
Lauren had decided to slap him hard on the face after he got his ransom back, to see if he was blinded by greed. How dare he challenge a Jie expert for a woman? This bastard would die on a woman's belly! Lauren was furious.
However, it seemed that the Jie experts did not intend to make things difficult for him. Lauren was a shrewd man, and knew what he was doing. Eighty million was an astronomical figure to a commoner. However, to him, it was just a drop in the bucket. Would a Jie expert ever lack money? He would be a laughing stock if he said that. No matter which aristocratic family he went to, they would only pay him more, never less. It seemed that the other party only wanted to punish Greda a little, to teach him a lesson.
Fighting whenever they met, fighting to the death over a small grudge, was that the demeanor of a Jie expert?
Ye Chong wondered how Lauren and the rest would feel if they knew what he was thinking. Lauren ran quickly. While he was the tribe leader, he was one of the strongest fighters in the tribe when he was young, and he had successfully completed his ascetic training. His strength was not to be underestimated.
Lauren's group was much more eye-catching than Ye Chong's group. The tribe leader was here personally, so the security was not to be underestimated. More than three hundred guards, all in tight black combat suits, surrounded Lauren in the middle. The group ran at full speed, but none of them showed any signs of fatigue, and their breathing was steady. Passersby looked at them.
Lauren arrived just in time for the crowd. Looking at the tightly encircled crowd, Lauren's guards immediately stepped forward and squeezed out a path. Those who were pushed away wanted to curse out loud, but when they looked back, they immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
As Lauren and the rest walked into the empty circle, the voices of the crowd immediately quieted down and soon fell into silence. There was no one in Guilar City who didn't know the patriarch of the Golden Turtle Clan. Furthermore, the other party was here to save his son. If anyone dared to act recklessly, they might not be able to stay in Guilar City anymore.
"Lao Lun greets seniors!" Lao Lun stood still and bowed respectfully. Becoming a Jie expert was an extremely difficult task. Most Jie experts would only reach this level at the age of 50 or 60. Therefore, Lauren still addressed him as a senior.
Ye Chong and the rest were about to leave when they heard Lauren's voice. Ye Chong took a look at Greda on the ground and signaled to Old Chief Guo. Old Chief Guo understood immediately and walked out of the inn.
"It's my fault that Chief Roren has to come here personally!" Old Chief Guo's tone was devoid of remorse.
Lao Lun said in a panic, "My son is unbearably naughty. He actually dared to offend the seniors. He deserves to die ten thousand times for his crime."
Old Chief Guo chuckled, "You're being too serious, Chief Rolun. It's natural for children to be mischievous, we just need to educate them. Alright, let's get back to business. I wonder if Patriarch has brought the money? "
The audience heard this and were dumbfounded. A Jie expert asking for money?
"There are 100 million credits in this card. Please accept it as a token of my appreciation." Lao Lun took out a purple gold card.
In broad daylight, a clan leader and a group of Jie experts were making a deal in front of so many people. How could they not be shocked?
Many people's gazes fell on the card, and they could only hear the sound of rapid breathing. 100 million credits was an unattainable goal for the average person.
However, Lao Lun did not hand over the card to Old Chief Guo. Instead, he suddenly bowed deeply and said, "Lao Lun has a request, I hope the seniors will grant it!"
"What request do you have?" Old Chief Guo looked at Lao Lun curiously.
"My son is unbearably naughty. Lao Lun admits that I am incapable of teaching him. However, I also know that if he continues like this, he will not achieve anything in the future. Lao Lun pleads with the seniors to accept him as a disciple. Lao Lun does not expect him to become a Jie expert like the seniors. I only hope that the seniors can train his character and strengthen his will. "
Disciple? Old Chief Guo would never agree to that. Just as he was about to reject, Lao Lun dropped a bomb on the crowd. "Lao Lun is willing to pay 5 billion credits as Greda's tuition fee!"
5 billion credits! The crowd went crazy! What did 5 billion credits mean? A Moonlight mech was 30,000 credits, a small starship was 2 million credits, a medium starship was 30 million credits, and a large starship was 500 million credits.
That was equivalent to 10 large starships! Even the powerful Trilobite Mech Squad only had 15 large starships, and that was only achieved after decades of accumulation.
Old Chief Guo's heart skipped a beat. "Hold on, we need to discuss this internally."
The middle-aged man in the crowd could not help but exclaim, "This old man is really something."
The handsome young man beside him added, "We know nothing about him. Why would Chief Lao Lun be so reckless?"
"You don't understand!" The middle-aged man said, "He's gambling!"
"Gambling?" The handsome young man looked confused.
"Yes, because of the environment Greda grew up in, Lao Lun does not have any control over him now. Besides, the old man has too many things to handle himself, he does not have time to discipline Greda. Lao Lun is also gambling, using 5 billion credits to bet on the chance of his precious son's success. Also, think about it, these Jie experts are very mysterious, they do not belong to any aristocratic family. If they really take Greda as their disciple, the Jin Gui Tribe will have another partner. Lao Lun is very thoughtful. "
The handsome young man was not convinced. "But no one knows the background of these Jie experts. How can he hand Greda over to them so easily?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the handsome young man and said calmly, "Remember, a leader must have the mentality of a leader. If you lose your son, you can have another one. If you miss the chance, it will never come again. This is a chance, a chance for Greda to succeed and for the Jin Gui Tribe to gain a strong ally. If Greda continues like this, he will only be a mediocre person for the rest of his life. It is because he loves Greda that he is willing to use the 5 billion credits to buy a chance for Greda and a choice for the Jin Gui Tribe. "
The middle-aged man added, "In this world, no matter what you do, there is always risk."
The handsome young man hesitated. "If it were you, would you do this?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man did not hesitate.
"Third Miss." An old servant walked to Shi Xin's side. Shi Xin had more than 10 guards by her side, they were protecting her both openly and secretly.
Shi Xin did not turn around. "Uncle Hua, you're here." Uncle Hua was one of the people she trusted the most. Children of aristocratic families would have a guard by their side from the day they were born. Most of the guards were from the side branches of the family. Not only were they skilled in combat, they were also reliable and loyal to the family. Uncle Hua was Shi Xin's guard. He watched her grow up.
Uncle Hua's skin was well maintained. Even though he was over 50 years old, there was not a single wrinkle on his face. His voice was soft. "Second Miss's starship is stranded. Should we send someone to pick them up?"
"No need. They contacted me just now. I asked them to slow down and arrive at Guilar City later. The situation in the city is not clear. Second Sister is not in good health. It would be troublesome if she got a shock. "Shi Xin then asked," Uncle Hua, did you bring the card? "
Uncle Hua was surprised. He nodded. "Yes. Isn't this card for buying a mech from the Xue Lai Clan? "
"Yes. Give me the card first. We'll see how it goes. Maybe we won't be able to buy it this time. "Shi Xin looked towards the hotel lobby.
Uncle Hua and the rest had just arrived, so they did not know what had happened. However, Uncle Hua did not hesitate. He took out the card and handed it to Shi Xin.
Shi Xin did not expect her second sister, Shi Fuyin, and the rest to be in trouble.
The group chatted happily. Shi Chongming told Shi Fuyin about his experiences in training when he was young, and Shi Fuyin gasped from time to time. Rui Bing was still as cold as ever. However, she had the idea of trying out a new training method like training.
She now understood that this troublesome beauty had brought her to an unfamiliar place. This place did not belong to any of the Five Galaxies. At that time, when she found out that this place was not the Five Major Galaxies, the first thought that rose in her mind was that it would be difficult for her to see Ye Chong again in this lifetime.
Perhaps, this was fate. Rui Bing sighed to herself. She felt miserable, and did not want to talk to anyone. She was silent along the way. However, no one dared to pester her. Rui Bing looked like a cold beauty at first glance. Coupled with the ghostly skills she had displayed that day, even those who admired her would have to weigh their own strength.
Just how skilled was this ice-cold woman? Shi Chongming had always been curious.
Shi Fuyin liked Rui Bing, and would always hold her arm. Rui Bing felt pity for this weak girl. Rui Su always liked to hang around her neck when they were at home, so Rui Bing wasn't unaccustomed to it.
Shi Chongming was happy to see that Rui Bing and the Second Young Miss were on good terms.
Due to the dry weather, the ground was covered in cracks. Only a few gray thorny willows grew crookedly in the wilderness.
Rui Bing suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her expression was solemn as she listened.
Everyone else was stunned.
"Watch out!" Rui Bing's gaze was as sharp as a sword.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a series of rustling sounds became clearer and clearer. It was a spine-chilling sound. Shi Chongming's facial expression changed.

After a day's work, they finally found a place to stay. Uh, the food in Chengdu is good. It's not as spicy as I expected.
