"Just as I thought …"
Han Xiao had thought of many possibilities on the way there. He had a certain understanding of Ames, and the casual nature of a strong person was very obvious on her. At her level, most problems that were difficult for ordinary people to choose were easy for her. She was too lazy to think and just did whatever she wanted. The way of thinking that focused on weighing gains and losses mostly came from the fact that the individual could not change the external environment. Compared to the overall environment, the individual was too weak and could only put the weight on the side of the scale that was beneficial to them. Ames' way of thinking had long jumped out of the barrier of a weak individual and did things based on her preferences.
If possible, who would not want to live according to their wishes? Ames' power was her passport.
From another perspective, this also meant that she was not ambitious. The four Beyond Grade A Supers in the Shattered Star Ring had all built their own organizations, and only Ames' organization was the most lax. Floating Dragon Island was not her territory but more like her daily residence. She stayed at home all year round, and her subordinates and guards were like housekeepers or cleaners. She had almost completely given up her power. She did not have any ambitions, so in the broken galaxy, all the civilizations of order gave her face and were not willing to provoke this neutral person.
The best way to deal with such a chaotic neutral person was to cater to her interests. As long as one showed goodwill and threw out something that could attract her interest, one would not be in danger.
Han Xiao happened to know a lot of things that could attract Ames' interest.
The force field slowly pressed down, and the solidified air approached. Han Xiao cleared his throat and said with a deep voice, "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency Ames. I hope to use a piece of information to save my life and the lives of my team members. I think you will be interested."
Ames raised her finger, and the force field stopped. An invisible barrier surrounded everyone. Second Prince poked at it, and the air barrier was just twenty centimeters away. The air became indestructible.
Ames did not say a word and looked at Han Xiao with interest, telling him to hurry up.
Killing people was not her hobby. She wanted to know how this mercenary would save her. The struggle of life in the face of death was always a wonderful drama. Watching it could change the boredom of life. Therefore, even if these people were just dust in Ames's eyes, she was willing to spend time to communicate with them, just like how the high and mighty humans liked to study other animals.
Han Xiao prepared for a moment and began his performance.
"I didn't spend much time in the Shattered Star Ring. I usually stayed in Juberly Hub. One day, I met a person on the street. He was a very common Galaxy Human. I couldn't tell how old he was, and he was dressed like an ordinary galactic traveler. He was originally walking past me, but he called me from behind. When I turned around, he suddenly said something to me that didn't make sense …"
"What did he do?" Herlous urged. He saw that Ames yawned and did not seem interested, so he quickly signaled for Han Xiao to get to the point.
Han Xiao coughed and said, "I was also confused at that time because I didn't know him at all. Plus, I didn't understand what he said at all. But now, I finally understand …"
"Aiya, hurry up!" Herlous clenched his teeth. I'm so anxious. The Death Omen is already shining. Can you stop keeping me in suspense at this time? I still have a large race to feed. I can't die!
"He — when you see Ames, tell her not to wait. I don't want to see her yet."
Bang!
An earth-shattering aura spread out, and everyone present was blown away. They landed heavily on the ground and grimaced in pain. They turned around and saw Ames, who had been lazily standing up from the throne. Her expression was no longer calm but filled with a mix of joy and anger. It was as if she had finally received the news she had been waiting for, but it was the opposite of bad news.
Everyone was shocked. They did not know why this super strong person could not control her emotions and power all of a sudden.
Ames landed on the ground. Her black hair fell to her legs like a waterfall, and her bare feet stepped on the warm bone ground. She slowly walked toward Han Xiao, fully unleashed her aura, and asked, "What did that person look like?"
The ordinary people of the Dragon Guards all fainted, and those who were still conscious struggled to get up. Han Xiao took a deep breath to relieve Ames' Haoshoku pressure. He struggled to open his mouth and said, "I don't remember the details clearly. He looked quite old, and his hair was very messy. He looked no different from a normal person … Oh, I remember now. His biggest feature was his eyes. His pupils were shining, just like, just like …"
He deliberately hesitated, as if he could not think of a word.
"His eyes were like a dark universe, and his pupils were like a star that lit up in the depths of the universe. Although it was only a weak fluorescent light, it could light up the entire universe … Is that right?" Ames said.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right." Han Xiao replied and heaved a sigh of relief. Ames must have thought of the person he wanted her to think of. That's good.
Ames seemed to be immersed in her memories. She mumbled to herself, "Why don't you want to see me? Didn't the promise count? Didn't you say that you would come and find me when I became a famous person in the universe? "
Guard Captain Wilsander's heart sank. He had never seen his boss show such a weak expression like that before. It was like a girl who had been abandoned by her sweetheart. This made him very uncomfortable.
Ames was a goddess in his heart. She was strong, beautiful, and mysterious. He was deeply shocked when he first saw her. The admiration from the bottom of his heart made Wilsander willing to give up the organization he had cultivated and join Ames alone. He stayed on Floating Dragon Island and managed this messy territory day in and day out …
That's right, he was a subordinate who had a crush on his boss. This was also the motivation for his work.
At this moment, Wilsander was very envious of his brothers. If only he had fainted on the spot, he would not have had to see this scene!
"Who is that man to her? Is he really her lover … "Wilsander's heart was sour, but he was also very curious.
Ames came back to her senses and sat on the throne again. She stared at Han Xiao silently for a while before slowly saying, "Since he chose you to pass the message to me, I will also give you a choice. Two paths: turn into dust, or work for me."
"I'm willing to work for you." Han Xiao nodded.
Becoming Ames' employee was definitely much better than dying on the spot. Ames' past was very mysterious. Almost no one knew about it, but Han Xiao knew her secrets. For a top expert like Ames, the players in his previous life were naturally very curious. Through the mission descriptions of different characters, they pieced together the experience of Ames and put it in the posts of various important figures. Han Xiao knew even more about her than she did. Not only did he know about her past, but he also knew about her future.
With the priority of information, Han Xiao finally chose this phrase after thinking about it for a long time. It was most likely to alarm Ames. The person he was talking about was also a legendary figure who had a special meaning to Ames. He was almost the most important person in her life, but he had disappeared without a trace. Ames occasionally hired mercenaries to find this man.
That person was a diviner who could see a person's future. Han Xiao pretended that this person asked him to pass the message in advance. With how much Ames treasured that person, he was like an object that was liked by that person. He was basically in no danger.
Moreover, Ames had never revealed this matter to anyone, so Ames would almost never suspect that Han Xiao knew about her past and was tricking her. In her opinion, Han Xiao was just a mercenary who was caught by chance, and that person had the ability to see the future. It was more likely that this person told this mercenary in advance to pass the message.
Even someone as strong as Ames would not have guessed that Han Xiao was an anomaly.
Although the Great Mechanic Han did not like the feeling of being treated as a substitute, his emotions would not stop him from doing what he wanted to do. When he did not have enough strength, he could immediately change his mindset. If it was obvious that he would not be able to beat the other party even if he died, he would definitely not be stubborn and try to be gentle.
Even if he was respected by tens of thousands of people, it would not become a shackle that hindered his actions. He would not hate to eat plain tea after getting used to eating delicacies. Back then, when Han Xiao was weak, he could compromise in the Germinal Organization. Now, he could do the same.
Of course, Ames was much better than the Germinal Organization. At least she was a neutral character and would not be too harsh on him. However, at the same time, Ames was a million times stronger than the Germinal Organization. If he wanted to escape from Ames' control, the difficulty would be incomparable to that of the Germinal Organization. Even if Han Xiao had various methods to make himself grow quickly, it would still be a very long process.
This was naturally not the result he wanted, but the strong could always control the fate of the weak. He could only follow this iron law.
Han Xiao sighed in his mind.
