Silin didn't know if Gleason Dodge realized that Silin and Huimao were the ones who spied on him that day, but one thing was for sure: Gleason Dodge had begun to pay attention to both Silin and Huimao.
The 15-year-old boy's intuition was too sharp, and Silin had to be prepared for it.
After the young master of the Gleason Family left with his people, the surrounding atmosphere began to relax again. However, the following topics were all about this great noble who was in his teens. As for Celine, he had long been forgotten by the people around him.
Lunani excitedly told Cillin about the legendary young genius. Dodge hadn't enrolled in any educational school, and he had learned everything from elementary education to advanced education on his own. By the time his peers started their elementary education, Dodge had already started his intermediate education, and it didn't take long for him to start his advanced education classes. Sometimes, he would attend some famous academies and listen to the guest lectures of the old academicians invited by the RAS. He wasn't faking it; he truly understood what they were saying.
Lunani had said a lot about the young genius, Gleason Dodge. It was hard to tell how much of it was true, but there had to be a reason for it. Since there was such a rumor, it meant that something similar had happened more or less.
People kept coming and going at the self-service lounge. As soon as they heard that Gleason Dodge had been there, the newcomers began to talk among themselves.
Suddenly, Silin saw a familiar face walking toward him.
"Libero!" Silin called out.
The person who was sauntering toward Cillin with his head hung low and looked very lethargic was none other than Libero, one of his roommates back when he was taking the AF5 entrance exam before he entered the AF5.
Libero didn't say what kind of background he had, but it seemed like his father's status wasn't low. Libero's clothes had the emblem of the Lohr Family on it.
When Libero heard his name, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw Silin sitting there and waving at him, Libero's listless expression brightened. He smiled and ran over to Silin.
Some people in the surroundings also saw Libero running over. These people would first look at the family emblem the newcomer was wearing, and then they would decide whether or not to greet him based on the family emblem.
Someone was about to approach Libero when they saw the Lohr Family emblem on him. However, before they could take a step forward, someone pulled them back and whispered something to them. Then, the person who was about to approach Libero stopped and looked at him with disdain. If it weren't for the Lohr Family emblem on Libero's body, or if they were in a different place, they would definitely show their disdain. After all, this was the Lohr family's private property. They had to give the Lohr family some face, right?
Libero was already used to the attitude of the people around him, so he didn't care. He walked over to Silin and sat down.
"Hey, why are you here? I didn't expect to see you here!" Libero was very happy to see Silin. After all, Silin was one of the few people who didn't look down on the mutants. On top of that, they were roommates who had also attended the fifth exam. This was the first time Libero had seen Silin after they had parted ways.
"A friend gave me a pass, so I came here to eat and drink. I don't really know anyone here," Silin said.
"You don't know me? Who is this little girl? Aren't you going to introduce us? " Libero squinted his eyes. He looked at Lunani and then at Silin. His eyes seemed to say, "Brother, not bad. She's still a young flower."
"Don't be ridiculous. It's not what you think." Cillin introduced both Lunani and Libero to Lunani. However, Cillin only mentioned that they were former roommates when he introduced Libero, so he didn't go into too much detail.
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to be from the Lohr family," Silin said.
Libero smiled helplessly. "I wouldn't have the right to come here if I wasn't accepted by AF2."
"AF2?! The First Advanced Education School under the RAS?! "Lunani exclaimed. It was too difficult for them to get into an affiliated school. AF3 was only for the upper class, and it was difficult to get in without a strong relationship with the upper class. As for AF1 and AF2, it was even more difficult. Rumor had it that they were where all the geniuses of the empire gathered.
"Yeah, didn't Silin tell you?" Libero asked. Noticing Lunani's expression, he continued, "Cillin and I were roommates when we were taking the entrance exams at AF1's preparatory campus. In the end, I got into AF2, and Cillin got into AF1."
Lunani's eyes were filled with admiration and admiration. She didn't expect to see geniuses from AF1 and AF2 in front of her! Entering these two affiliated schools wasn't something that could be entered just by having a noble's identity. It was all about genuine talent and learning!
Libero was a little embarrassed by Lunani's admiring gaze. He scratched his head and cleared his throat. He looked at Silin and changed the topic. "Have you been busy lately?"
"I've just finished a large scale test. I'm doing fine. I don't have many assignments from my mentor. What about you? "
"Me too, but my mentor knows my mentor from AF2. I was supposed to be assigned a task, but because of the wedding, my mentor gave me an early leave."
Ever since Libero was accepted into AF2, there were still many people in the Lohr family who looked down on him, but most of them no longer dared to show it in public. The affiliated schools were renowned throughout the empire, not to mention that Libero was only able to get into AF2 through his own strength. It was exactly because of this that Libero received an entry card from his family. It was an acknowledgement that he was a member of the Lorga Family. Since he was a member of the Lorga Family, it was only natural that he would attend such an important wedding. The groom for this wedding was Lorga's half-brother. Although this older brother had never treated Libero well since he was a child, he was still a member of the Lorga Family. Internal strife was fine, but he had to behave himself in front of other nobles.
Many nobles who were close to the Lorga Family knew who Libero was. He used to be the biggest joke in the family, and he would've been killed a long time ago if it wasn't for his mentor's help. Therefore, Libero's desperation to get into the affiliated schools wasn't just for the Lorga Family's recognition. It was mainly for his mentor.
Silin's communicator rang while the three were talking. It wasn't a video call, but an audio message from Gen Xingming. It looked like the guy was too "busy" to make a video call right now.
Just as Silin thought, Gen Xingming's message was a pressing one.
Silin replied after reading the message, "I ran into two acquaintances. I'll head over after talking to them for a bit."
Gen Xingming: "What acquaintances? Male or female? As long as it wasn't an old man's generation, they could all be brought along. Anyway, they were all young people. What was there to hide? Second Grandpa had once said that young people should know how to have fun. Relationships were formed through playing, right?
Silin was sure that Gen Xingming had too much to drink right now. Plus, he could hear the laughter behind the voice. It must be quite lively over there right now.
Silin hung up after replying, "I'll be there soon."
Lunani and Libero didn't know Gen Xingming, so they couldn't tell whose voice it was. As for the other people around them, they were too far away to hear anything at all.
"My friend asked me to go over. Do you two have plans? If not, let's go together, "Silin said to Lunani and Libero.
Lunani was a little afraid of strangers. Or rather, she was afraid of the supercilious looks from too many great nobles. However, this place was too unfamiliar to her, and she didn't want to leave just like that. Since they were Silin's friends, they should be easy to get along with. It was more accurate to say that she trusted Little Four than Cillin. After reporting to her father briefly, Lunani left with Silin to her father's dissatisfaction.
As for Libero, he had the same thought as Lunani. Since they were Silin's friends, they should be easy to get along with.
"Do you have a flying car?" Since they were going to go together, Silin's hoverboard alone wasn't enough. They needed a flying car.
Lunani shook her head. She came here in her father's flying car and didn't bring her own. Libero didn't drive a flying car either. In fact, he didn't even come here in his private car, but a service car on the planet.
Without a flying car, they could only borrow one from a car rental spot set up by the Rolle Family. Silin borrowed one from the car rental spot with a pass card. The flying car's specs weren't great, but they definitely weren't bad either. Nobles cared a lot about their reputation, and giving them a low-quality car was basically a slap in the face.
Silin sat in the driver's seat, Lunani and Libero sat in the back, and Huimao was munching on a biscuit in the passenger seat.
After looking at the coordinates Gen Xingming had given him, Cillin drove the flying car towards that direction. He wasn't going too fast, and he didn't forget to take a look at the scenery below him while he was flying. Lunani looked forward to the scenery very much, because every girl had a dream of becoming a bride.
Libero wasn't very interested in the scenery. Some of the things here were even arranged by him, and he came back to do hard labor. His stomach hurt just thinking about it.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh — —
While Silin was driving the flying car slowly towards the destination, a couple of flying cars flew past him. One of them almost brushed past the outer shell of Silin's flying car, and a couple of bullets hit the back of the car. Thankfully, the flying car's defenses were good, or else it would've been severely damaged.
Lunani was shocked by the series of events, and Libero wasn't much better off. He looked out the window and said angrily, "These noble kids are crazy!"
"Who are they?" Silin asked after he stabilized the flying car.
"I don't know, but I've seen them racing a lot lately. I wouldn't have said anything if they were skilled, but the problem is, what kind of skills do they have! Every day, the Rolle clan's cleaning robots have to clean up dozens of wrecked flying cars due to racing. They've also accidentally injured a few people, but since the injured people aren't on any important missions, everyone keeps quiet about it. " Libero grew angry at the mention of this. As expected, the lives of everyone other than nobles were worthless. These people had nowhere else to spend their money, and they were still in high spirits even when their luxury cars were turned into scrap metal.
Cillin changed his flight path and avoided these people when he saw a few flying cars firing at each other. If worst comes to worst, he'd just have to take a detour a little longer.
That was what Celine thought, but those people really had their eyes on them. With a whoosh, they flew towards them again. When they flew over, they even released them while shouting crazily.
Huimao said while biting into a biscuit, "Should we teach them a lesson?"
At this distance, Huimao was more than capable of interfering with the flying cars' control systems.
Silin shook his head. Not many of these noble kids had real strength, and it was obvious just by looking at the flying car's trajectory.
"Sit tight!" Silin said to Lunani and Libero before adjusting some of the settings on the flying car's control panel. What surprised Silin was that even though this was just a public rental car, it was still equipped with all sorts of surveillance and alarm systems. It was just that very few people would put these things to good use.
Even though a rental car was a bit inferior to a custom-made car, as long as they had a good driver, this difference wouldn't be a problem.
A few noble children were driving their flying cars and surrounding Cillin's flying car. It was as if they were watching a movie, observing the cowardly expression of the trapped wretch and waiting for it to beg for mercy. But before they could act arrogantly for long, the poor bastard charged out of a gap in the encirclement as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"He's rebelling! He still dares to escape?! "
"Damn! Hurry up and chase after him! "
They weren't afraid of people driving rental cars. This was why they were so unbridled. They had done this many times over the past few days, and every time they saw the people in the cars begging for mercy, they would feel a sense of accomplishment.
But slowly, the nobles who were driving the luxurious cars realized that the pitiful worm seemed to have suddenly grown a few pairs of wings. Not only was it fast, but its flight path was also very difficult to grasp. Even if a few people joined forces to surround it, they would not be able to trap it.
Some people had already started firing at Cillin's car with their weapons, but Cillin was able to dodge them all. The rental car didn't have any weapons installed, so Cillin simply lured the tracer bullets towards the forest and flipped them over in a couple of quick blinks. The tracer bullets kept missing their target and hitting the trees or rocks on the ground.
"F * ck, could the person driving the rental car be the pilot of the fighter jet?! Isn't he afraid of crashing into a mountain?! "someone complained.
"I don't care if he's a fighter pilot or not. We have to shoot it down. Otherwise, how are we going to face people when we get back? How are we going to lose to a rental car driver?! "
"That's true."
But some people were hesitant. This wasn't their territory, and it wouldn't be good to cause too much of a ruckus. There were only a few basic weapons on the car, and the rest had been removed by their families for safety reasons. From the looks of it, it would be very difficult to shoot down the rental car with the monotonous weapons left on the car.
The surrounding flying cars were in hot pursuit, and Silin maintained the rental car's high-end speed almost all the time. Even if the surrounding cars were faster than Silin, they were flying around like headless flies due to Silin's zigzagging route. It was a complete waste of their high specs.
After a sharp ninety-degree turn, a flying car in hot pursuit crashed into a dense forest and didn't catch up. Silin didn't look at the flying car that crashed into the forest. The noble kids' flying car protection was enough to save their lives anyway. At most, they would suffer a little.
Sometimes, Silin found it strange that the descendants of the three kings like Gen Xingming, Ulaganuo, and Bel wouldn't be this crazy even if they went crazy. They would force their twisted pleasure onto unrelated people. If it was just the upper nobles, then what about Naimi and the others?
It was a waste of youth if one didn't go crazy, but this kind of madness was already twisted enough.
There was no way Cillin would believe that these people's backgrounds were much better than Naimi's and the Sizer Family's. They were all nobles, and there was no way someone with a stronger background would be this twisted and insane. So what did these people rely on?
Thump thump!
Two more flying cars were driven into the forest by Silin. He had no interest in wasting time with the remaining flying cars. The remaining flying cars couldn't form a circle anymore, so Silin thought it would be very easy for him to escape.
Thus, the rental flying car that was labeled as a "pitiful bug" easily bypassed the obstacles of the buildings and trees in front of it and flew into the distance like the wind, leaving the flying car that was still flying and dodging obstacles farther and farther behind until it could no longer be seen.
After making sure that he had shaken off the annoying flying cars, Silin checked the direction and flew towards his destination. Feeling that the atmosphere inside the car was too strange, Silin looked at Lunani and Libero through the rearview camera. The two people were sitting there blankly with pale faces and clutching the handrails tightly. Libero's legs were still shaking.
"Hey, you two, are you alright?" Silin asked.
It took him a long time before he finally heard Libero's reply, "I … I'm … fine … I guess …"
Silin: "..."
He stopped the flying car in a grassy area so that Libero and Lunani could take a breather. The moment the flying car came to a stop, Lunani and Libero rushed out to vomit after they recovered from the shock.
Silin rubbed his nose. That was a little too much. He glanced at Huimao, who was still leisurely munching on a biscuit and about to say something. Silin reached out to cover the dog's mouth, which was covered in biscuit crumbs. Otherwise, the dog would say something like "weak constitution" again.
After Silin drove the flying car far away, the flying cars behind them also stopped. After they met up with the people who had crashed into the forest, one of the nobles took out his communicator and contacted a few people, asking them to look for the serial number of the rental car.
He had just given the order when his communicator rang.
"Hey, when are you guys coming?"
"Don't mention it. We ran into some trouble."
"Stop bullshitting. Who are you trying to scare? Who would dare cause trouble for you?" The other party didn't seem to believe him.
"Fuck! There really is one, and it's just a rental car! "
