The place Gen Xingming mentioned was close to the main wedding venue, but it was in a different direction from where Silin had landed. Moreover, he had run into a bunch of street racers on the way there, so it took him a while to get there.
It was a place the Rolle Family had built specifically for youngsters to have fun and socialize. Even before he landed, he could tell that the place was bustling with activity from above.
More than half of the children of nobles who had come to this planet to attend the wedding were gathered here. Some of them were in groups of two or three, and some were in groups. They were all chatting with people they were familiar with and looking for a chance to build a relationship with someone of a higher rank.
Silin parked his flying car at the designated spot. The parking lot was filled with dazzling luxury cars, and most of them had the "Whirlwind" emblem on them. Any car with this emblem represented luxury, and people used it to show off their status.
Lunani and Libero were obviously familiar with the "Whirlwind". Lunani's father's personal car was a "Whirlwind", but she herself had one as well. It wasn't a custom-made version, and one had to make a reservation long in advance to get a custom-made car unless they provided a design. Otherwise, they had to wait in line obediently. Of course, the Sizer Family would definitely show you some respect and make a custom car in advance if your background was strong enough.
Lunani could still be proud of herself back at the twenty-third star region, but she didn't have the courage to do so in the entire empire. Lunani's confidence faltered the moment she saw these luxury cars. She knew how the nobles handled things all too well.
Libero opened his mouth as he watched Cillin calmly park the rental car in an empty spot surrounded by shiny luxury cars. In the end, he didn't say anything. He wouldn't have been able to stay as calm as Silin if he were in Silin's place, and he wouldn't have parked his rental car here. He would've taken it to another public rental spot a little further away. That was why Libero felt a little hot on his cheeks when he saw Silin's reaction. He looked around guiltily, but thankfully, most of the services here were automated and no one was looking.
After he parked the car, Cillin grabbed the restless gray cat by the neck and called out to the obviously nervous Lunani and Libero. Then, they headed towards the place Gen Xingming mentioned.
Lunani followed closely behind Cillin. She was afraid that he would leave her behind. As for Libero, he saw a couple of people he knew, but he chose to ignore their disdainful and provocative gazes. It wasn't like they dared to act too presumptuously in this place. It was an internal rule, and everyone had to do their best to show off their manners and poise in a gathering place like this. Even if they had personal grudges, they would put them aside for the time being.
Firstly, they were not the main characters of this incident. Secondly, they did not dare to take the lead. After all, there were people with higher statuses than them here. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone would choose to give way and focus on the few people with the highest statuses. If anyone made too much of a ruckus, they would be seen as stealing the limelight from those few people. This was a hidden rule.
"Luna!"
Lunani was following behind Silin nervously and didn't pay much attention to the people around her. She turned around when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Luna" was her nickname. Only people who were close to her would call her that. The person who was calling her right now wasn't someone she knew, but to show that they had a lot of connections here, everyone liked to call each other by their nicknames when they saw someone they knew. Of course, this was only limited to people who weren't higher in status than them. They would never dare call someone of higher status like this.
The girl who walked over with a puffy skirt came from a middle-class noble family just like Lunani's family. However, unlike Lunani, this girl knew a lot of people in the noble circle and liked to make friends with them.
"Nice to meet you, Sister Vela!" Lunani pulled her skirt up and gave a noble greeting.
Vela didn't pay too much attention to Lunani. Instead, she examined Cillin and Libero from head to toe. Libero was wearing the Lor Family's emblem, but Cillin wasn't. She hadn't met them before, but she wouldn't underestimate them since she had spent most of her life among the upper class nobles. She smiled at Cillin and Libero as a greeting, and both of them returned the greeting as well.
She was used to judging a person's status and self-restraint through their standard and proficiency in their greeting. Both Cillin and Libero's greeting looked casual and natural, but it wasn't a deliberate imitation at all. This caused Vera's opinion of them to rise a little higher. But she didn't know them, and she believed that she had met every single person of status in the upper nobility before. Therefore, even if she thought highly of them, she wouldn't pay them any mind.
"Luna, why didn't you tell me you were coming? You're not a good friend!" Vela pretended to be angry.
"I'm really sorry. I was with my father and didn't plan on coming, so I didn't want to trouble you." Lunani felt like her face was a little stiff from the smile, but she still maintained a flawless appearance. After all, this was a necessary skill for a noble.
"If that's the case, I forgive you. Let me tell you, Luna, I've made a lot of new friends in the past two days. Come, I'll introduce you to them."
Vela liked to show off her superiority, and Lunani knew this very well. It would be good to know more nobles, but Lunani didn't feel safe in an unfamiliar environment like this. Little Luna didn't dare to make decisions carelessly because she was familiar with the dirty facade of nobles. Compared to Vela, Lunani trusted Silin more, so she turned down Vela's invitation politely.
"Alright then. This is a great opportunity. Don't regret it if you miss it."
Vela didn't waste any more time since Lunani had turned her down. She quickly excused herself and walked into another group to socialize.
"You humans are so real." Huimao lay on Silin's shoulder and said.
Silin pulled Huimao's whiskers softly. "So don't be like humans."
Since the three of them were unfamiliar faces and their emblems weren't very attractive, no one came over to talk to them. Silin was happy to have some free time, so he went straight to the venue Gen Xingming mentioned.
He thought it was a public venue, but who would've thought that there would be someone stopping him at the entrance to check his identity?
"Usually, it's a robot that checks people's identity here. If there aren't any service robots drinking tea, then it should be a public venue. There shouldn't be anyone stopping you," Libero explained. He knew how the Lor Family set up the venue, which was why he pointed out that there shouldn't be anyone guarding this place.
The so-called identity check was just a look at the emblem on the clothes. Everyone guarding this place had a list in their head, and they had memorized the emblems of the nobles who were qualified to enter. If the person's emblem wasn't on the list, then sorry, but please leave.
Of Silin's group, Libero was the only one who was qualified to enter. Silin and Lunani weren't.
"It looks like the bar is pretty high." Silin smiled.
"Then … should we leave first, big brother Silin?" Lunani asked.
"That's right, Cillin, we don't care!" Libero pulled Cillin and tried to leave.
Stopping Libero, Silin turned on his communicator and was about to summon Gen Xingming when he suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction.
"Who did you see?" Libero followed Silin's line of sight and didn't see anyone out of the ordinary. However, there were a lot of people coming and going in that direction, and the clothes they were wearing were dazzling.
Huimao also turned around and looked in that direction. His beard trembled, but he didn't say anything.
"It's nothing."
Silin turned around and was about to contact Gen Xingming when a voice suddenly came from the other side of the communicator.
"Your Highness Silin!"
Your … Your Highness?
Libero and Lunani stared at Cillin in shock. Only the emperor and the three kings were qualified to use the suffix "Your Highness" in their titles. Then what was Silin?
A person ran out hurriedly after the voice. It was one of Gen Xingming's bodyguards. Only someone who understood Silin's role in the Gen Family would address Silin as such.
Because of Genya, the current and former King Fuji's tacit approval allowed this title to spread in the Gen Family. Genya was happy to see this happen and didn't object to it. He would always watch the conflicted look on Silin's face every time he heard this title.
"Your Highness Silin, His Third Highness is already waiting inside."
The person guarding the door hurriedly apologized and moved aside to let Silin and the others in.
"Let's go." Silin patted Lunani and Libero's shoulders and said, "Let's go."
"Oh."
The two of them followed Silin with stiff steps. They were also wondering how they had become "His Highness Silin".
Silin saw Ulaganuo come out to relieve himself after they turned a corner in the corridor. Silin called out, "Gaga!"
Libero's face twitched. He knew Ulaganuo. He had seen him during the test. But after Libero learned more about Ulaganuo, he realized that anyone who didn't know Ulaganuo very well would be silenced on the spot if they called him that.
Ulaganuo jumped up and slammed his fist on the wall when he saw Silin. "Oh fuck! You're finally here, Silin! I was just talking about you! "
Look, those people outside are still pretending to be gentlemen, but the real prince in front of us is already cursing out of habit.
Since they ran into Ulaganuo, there was no need for the guide to continue.
"What are you talking about me for?" Silin walked over and asked.
"What else could it be? Naimi is bragging so much that he even took out that award-winning flying car model to show off to a bunch of flying car enthusiasts! "
Gen Xingming, Ulaganuo, and Bel had won quite a lot of money during the flying car race that Silin and Naimi participated in. It was pocket money that belonged to them, and they didn't have to worry about their families.
Libero's face twitched again. Since when did Silin participate in a flying car race?
Libero was busy with his mission at the time, and he didn't pay much attention to the racing car race because he didn't have the funds to do so. That was why he didn't know that Silin had participated in that very influential race.
Moreover, the people who left the deepest impression on everyone during the race were Vege-Fritter, the young master of the Sizer Family, and Naimi, the young master of the Sizer Family. As for Silin, he didn't show his face much, and the Sizer Family had blurred his name at Silin's request. That was why not many people remembered Silin.
"Who's this?" Ulaganuo looked at Lunani with interest. He remembered Libero a bit, but he didn't know this girl at all.
"She's a friend of my younger brother, Kiva Lunani," Silin explained.
Lunani bowed cautiously to Cillin. This bow was different from the one she had used before. It was a special greeting for royalty. Royals had their own special greeting as well.
Ulaganuo waved a hand after Lunani was done. "You don't have to be so reserved since you're Silin's friend. Relax a bit."
Lunani nodded hurriedly. She didn't care what Ulaganuo meant by "relax a bit".
"Kaka, your smile is so perverted!" Huimao said.
Ulaganuo wasn't angry at all. Instead, he greeted Huimao with a chuckle, "Hey wheeze, I've prepared a lot of good food today …"
Ulaganuo's image in Huimao's mind was instantly upgraded from "perverted" to "friendly".
Ulaganuo explained that all three of them had agreed to the guards stationed at the entrance of the venue. It was because their identities were public, and too many visitors came to visit them. It was to the point where they were annoyed to no end, so someone suggested that they be stationed at the entrance. That was how things turned out.
When Silin walked into the room Ulaganuo mentioned, a silver-white shadow flew toward him. Silin didn't try to dodge. Huimao leaped into the air and bit down!
Huimao was already holding the vegetable-shaped model tightly in his mouth by the time he landed on the ground.
"Hey, don't! Please have mercy, Lord Cat! "Naimi jumped over to Huimao's side and tried to say something nice.
The people who were yelling at Huimao were about to curse him when they saw him holding the model in his mouth, but they immediately swallowed their words back into their stomachs when they saw the cowardly look on his face. What a joke, he even called him "Lord Cat". How would they dare to curse him? Wouldn't that be suicide?
"Silin! Get over here! " Gen Xingming pushed away the two beauties beside him and placed three bottles of alcohol on the table. "You're late, so you'll punish yourself with three bottles!"
Celine didn't say much. She picked up the bottle and started to pour without stopping. Three bottles of wine were finished just like that.
"Good!"
The obviously drunk Gen Xingming slammed the table and roared again. His so-called princely demeanor was completely gone, and Lunani was staring at him with a look of disbelief on her face.
Silin shook his head. No wonder Gen Xingming was punished every time he returned home. His father's spies knew everything he did outside, and he was going to get whipped again after the wedding. He might even be sent to the army for another round of furnace modification.
Bel thought Lunani looked familiar, so he clapped his hands after Silin's explanation. "I was wondering why you looked so familiar. You're Chang Four's wife!"
Lunani: "..."
Lunani's impression of the three princes had been completely overturned, completely overturned.
Silin patted Bel's shoulder and told him to stop. Lunani's face was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed.
Naimi finally managed to get the Vegetable-Fritter model back from Huimao's mouth with a plate full of food. Tears streamed down his face as he complained to Silin, "I'm telling you, Silin, you have to pay me back with an intact one!"
"You deserve it."
There was no way Silin wouldn't understand Naimi's intentions. He wanted Silin to build another car for himself. He didn't have the time to build one right now.
After learning that the young man who just walked in was the racer Naimi was talking about, a few knowledgeable enthusiasts came over to talk to him. They had watched the racing competition, but their experience wasn't as deep as Naimi's. Some of them even hoped that Silin could drive the car again so that they could experience what Naimi was talking about.
Ever since the flying car race, Naimi had taken the lead, and a lot of other young nobles who loved flying cars were planning to change their flying cars into vegetable-shaped ones. However, Vegetable-Fritter hadn't officially entered production yet, and there were a lot of technical issues that needed to be solved. That was why there were less than ten Vegetable-Fritters in production right now. They were limited in number, and all of them were made by Fleka. Right now, there was a long line of people waiting to order Vegetable-Fritter from the Sizer Family.
While they were talking, the door opened and a couple more people walked in. Silin immediately knew that two of them were the culprits who had caused trouble for them with their flying cars.
However, after greeting the crowd, the duo walked away from Silin and bowed in apology.
The surrounding people were still wondering what was going on, but the two of them were quite frank and explained what had happened.
At the time, they had sent someone to investigate the rental car's serial number, but the Rolle Family's supervisor had issued a warning when they found out that it was Silin. Later, they were warned by their family members again, and it was only then that they realized that they had run into someone they shouldn't have.
They had to apologize first, or they would be in big trouble if the other party took the initiative. That was how the scene unfolded.
"Heh, you guys have a pretty big deal. You want to race with Silin? Are you tired of living? "Naimi snorted.
"Ahem, of course I don't know."
"Cut the crap, who doesn't know what kind of people you are!"
It looked like Naimi knew them, but since they were here, Cillin didn't say anything out of respect for Naimi.
Halfway through, Silin excused himself to go out and drain the water. He walked through the long hallway and arrived at a secluded place. He looked at the hidden cameras around him, pressed a button on his wrist and entered a room in a flash.
It was a place to store goods, sofas, tools and so on. After Silin entered the room, he looked around once and said, "Come out."
A figure slowly came into view after Silin's voice.
It was a robot, a Black Viper robot. After Silin took over Guan Feng's position, the robot's programming had changed. They wouldn't attack Silin because they knew where Silin was in Black Viper.
"What happened? What's your mission here? "
