"Aren't you very happy, Silin?" Seeing Silin's puzzled gaze, Shotton explained, "Mr. Aiflon only asked you to pretend to be his son. He didn't ask you to be his bodyguard, so it's impossible for you to come into contact with his family's business. Therefore, in order to make the most of your time, I suggested to Mr. Aiflon that you receive higher education, and Mr. Aiflon chose Seven Lights University."
The galaxy's education was roughly divided into three major categories: elementary education, intermediate education and higher education. In the four great Hunter regiments, many Hunters had received higher education, and as long as their age met the requirements, the regiment would fund and nurture them. The four great Hunter regiments were never stingy when it came to talents, and this was why they were superior to other Hunter regiments.
However, most Hunters received their higher education at the D-M Sector, and there really weren't many like Silin who could receive higher education at the Three Radiant Sectors.
This was also an investment Shotton made for the development of the Sixth Team, and the Sixth Team didn't even have to pay for it. It was practically a perfect opportunity. Moreover, Shotton was certain that even if Silin was only pretending to be Aiflon's son, the school Aiflon chose would definitely not be low for the sake of the Douance Family's reputation.
Silin wasn't an idiot. Back at Planet Brown Earth in Sector X, Silin hadn't even received a proper elementary education. All this time, he had only been taught by Genya himself. Why would he let go of such an opportunity?
"Of course I'm willing to have this opportunity."
Aiflon nodded, "Everyone knows how Seven Lights University is. The reason I chose Seven Lights University isn't just because of the Douance Family's reputation, but also because it's located at Sector B. The influence of the great families is limited there, and some people will have more scruples even if they want to attack you. It's good for both me and you. "
It was true that Aiflon didn't need to waste more manpower to deal with certain possible emergencies if he was at Seven Lights University.
Aiflon received the other documents the butler had prepared and passed them over, "Sign it if there are no problems. According to our agreement, the down payment will be a hundred thousand, and according to the galactic time, fifty thousand will be transferred to Silin's account every ten days from now on. The other ten million will be paid when the mission is complete. "
"Galactic credits?" Shotton asked.
"Galaxy dollars!" Aiflon seemed to be very dissatisfied with Shotton's questioning. Would the great Douance Family really take out Sector coins?
The exchange rate of galactic currency to the sector currency of the thirteen backward Sectors was 100, and the exchange rate to the sector currency of the ten D-M trade Sectors was 10. Cillin's previous' hunting 'bounties were all in Sector Credits, and the few million he used to buy a blank ID and a debit card were all Sector Credits that were lagging behind the Thirteenth Sector. Three years worth of hunting bounties was only equivalent to ten days' worth of profit from this mission.
Noticing the dissatisfaction in Aiflon's tone, Shotton smiled and cracked a rare joke, "Silin is very outstanding. Where else would we find such a good Hunter if we miss him? Not to mention that he can also be a bodyguard after pretending to be a son. Of course, the fee will be extra."
Silin rolled his eyes. At this moment, he could see that Shotton and Dias were indeed brothers. The way they joked around was practically the same.
"Then, our batch of goods …" Shotton said.
"We'll buy them according to the price you mentioned." Aiflon was also very decisive.
"Happy working with you."
"Happy working with you."
Both sides were very straightforward and smart people. There was no need for additional explanations.
After the discussion, all three of them had completed all the necessary agreements. In order to compete for Silin's mission this time, the three of them had signed a tripartite agreement. Other than the three of them, no one else knew the contents of the agreement.
Because Aiflon wouldn't be staying in the thirteen backward Sectors for long, he gave Silin an address and told Silin to go there two days later. Someone would meet him there.
Shotton left the hotel in a relaxed mood and told Silin to return to the team first. After all, it was inconvenient for him to walk around with a mask on his face.
Because everything had been settled, many days of gloominess had been swept away completely. After Shotton had the Sixth Squad deliver the goods to Aiflon's men, the Sixth Squad captain looked at the amount of money he had saved into Kari's account and went on a rare shopping spree, improving the quality of life of the Sixth Squad.
After returning to the fleet, Shotton had even pinched Silin's arm on purpose.
This … is really meat. It was just that every time he recalled how Silin had slammed that A-rank bodyguard into the wall, Shotton couldn't help but shudder. How in the world did he look like a B-rank person? He was practically a human-shaped armored car!
On the other hand, after Silin and Shotton had left the hotel, Aiflon sat quietly on his chair with his eyes lowered and his fingers crossed on his knees. He looked like he was deep in thought.
A long while later, Aiflon raised his eyes and said, "Sopho, return the 'Slaughter Elf' to upgrade and improve it. Discard it if you can't solve that problem. Hurry up the matters at Seven Lights, it's almost time. Also, start making arrangements for Silin."
"Got it."
Aiflon's words were simple, but as an old butler, Sopho understood Aiflon's meaning clearly.
'Slaughter Elf' was the gun model used by Aiflon's bodyguards. It was also a new type of gun developed by the Douance Family. Because the gun was small and easy to hide, its structure was simplified a lot. But it was also because of this that the scene where Silin stabbed its' Achilles heel 'with a single needle had appeared. If he couldn't improve on this point, then Aiflon would rather give up on this gun model than take the risk.
The second matter was Seven Lights. Seven Lights University's recruitment had ended a long time ago, but the semester had not started yet. Therefore, they needed to go through the relevant procedures, and with the Douance Family's influence, it wasn't hard for them to do so.
The last matter was regarding his' son ', Silin. In just a few days, the outside world would learn of this' son 'that Aiflon had left behind, and some operations were about to begin.
After returning to the fleet, Silin went to find Beaver. As a technician, Beaver had the right to use some of the Sixth Team's instruments.
"Protective bone crystal?" Beaver glanced at the pendant Silin took out, "It's possible, but you should know that the energy consumption of protective bone crystal is quite high."
"How much?" Silin asked.
Beaver thought for a moment and calculated the cost, "At least thirty thousand, and it's GAL credits."
"No problem." Aiflon's one hundred thousand GAL credits were enough.
Beaver's eyes widened. This kid had only been here for a few days, and he was already this rich? However, Beaver did not ask too many questions. Dias had told him not to ask too much about Silin during this period of time. "Follow me."
Bone crystal was a blocky crystal formed from the ashes of a person who had been electrocuted, compressed under high pressure, and processed. It cost almost ten thousand GAL credits to crystallize the bone crystal. Back then, most of Silin's hunting bounty had been spent on this.
An hour later, Beaver returned the protected bone crystal to Silin. The protected bone crystal had shrunk a little, but it was also sturdier and more translucent than before. Pointing it at a light source, one could see the silhouette of a person inside.
"An old girlfriend?" Beaver asked. The person depicted inside the bone crystal bore no resemblance to Silin's appearance at all. This meant that they were not relatives.
"Mn." Silin hung the bone crystal back on his neck.
Beaver patted Silin's shoulder. He had seen Silin's situation many times before, "There's still a long way to go."
Perhaps one day in the near future, Silin would meet a good girl and lessen the sorrow of the past.
During the two days since Silin had returned to the ship, no one had seen Silin except for Beaver, Shotton, and a few vice captains. The Sixth Team had done a good job in keeping secrets. Shotton had told Silin everything that needed to be explained. The following opportunities could only be grasped by Silin himself.
Two days later, Silin put on his mask and went to the place Aiflon mentioned to accept his new identity.
