Since the upper echelons of the Hutt Civilization were not willing to hand him over, there was no need for him to stay in the prison any longer. Han Xiao expressed his intention to leave immediately, and Wolman tried to persuade him to stay a few more times. They then boarded the hover car and returned to the port.
The atmosphere in the car was silent, and no one spoke. Han Xiao closed his eyes to rest, and Reynold wanted to say something but did not.
Wolman secretly observed Han Xiao's expression. He felt that Black Star would definitely be unhappy about being rejected, but he did not care about what Han Xiao thought. After all, he was only relaying the message to the upper echelons. Whether Black Star was unhappy about this had nothing to do with him.
Furthermore, Wolman did not feel that it was a big deal to make Black Star unhappy. Civilizations were always the mainstream of this universe, and no matter how strong Black Star was, he was not an official.
As a diplomat, he felt that he could express the attitude of the upper echelons. The Hutt Civilization had no intention of roping in Black Star. Currently, Purple Crystal was already ahead of them, and they could not compete with a Star Cluster civilization.
There were so many Star System civilizations trying to curry favor with Black Star, and they were just one of them. Godora was the Star System civilization closest to Black Star, and they were Godora's competitors. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for Black Star to have a close relationship with the Hutt Civilization.
Therefore, Wolman felt that the upper echelons knew that they did not have a chance, so they were too lazy to rope in Black Star. If they could not get anything back by handing over Rossellin, why would they lower themselves and satisfy Black Star's request? As long as they were like the other Star System civilizations and used the Black Star Corps' base as a superficial connection, it would be enough.
In Wolman's eyes, Black Star's action of wanting to hand someone over with just one sentence was a sign of arrogance.
Star System civilizations like us will definitely give you face, but we will not give you face for everything.
Just as Wolman was trying to figure out what the upper echelons were thinking, the hover car finally arrived at the port.
Han Xiao and Reynold got off the car and boarded the spaceship. Wolman accompanied them all the way.
Stepping on the gangway, just as they were about to enter the cabin, Han Xiao turned around and looked at Wolman, who was at the port, and suddenly smiled.
"We'll meet again soon."
"You're welcome to visit me again." Wolman put on a sincere fake smile.
The spaceship shuddered and started moving. It turned into a high-speed stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Watching the spaceship leave, Wolman stopped smiling, pinched his stiff facial muscles, and turned to wave at his team members.
"Done."
…
Five days passed peacefully.
On this day, the delicate boy Wolman spent his days in the Skywalker Galaxy's Black Star Corps branch as usual. An urgent notice was sent to his mailbox, saying that a team from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was about to arrive at the Black Star Corps branch, and he had to be prepared to receive them.
"That's weird. Why did they send someone to the Black Star Corps Division without any prior notice? What are they trying to do?"
This notice did not follow the procedures, nor did it explain the purpose of this group of colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Wolman was a little confused, but since it was a mission assigned by the higher-ups, he could only complete it.
After gathering his team members and making arrangements to receive them, Wolman brought them to the port of the branch and waited for the arrival of this group of colleagues.
This Black Star Corps satellite base was built on the outer orbit of the resource planet. It orbited the planet and supervised the mining teams on the planet. The port was a floating galactic spaceport built next to the satellite base. It was an independent small space station.
Wolman waited for more than half an hour. An official spaceship with the Hutt Civilization's logo approached from afar and docked at the spaceport.
The spaceship stopped, and the hatch slowly opened. A group of people dressed as diplomats accompanied a few Purple Crystal people as they walked down the gangway while chatting and laughing.
Wolman hurriedly walked up and introduced himself.
"This is Wolman, the person in charge of diplomacy in the Black Star Corps branch. These are the emissaries from the Amethyst Civilization. We've just completed a handover and are about to rest here," a diplomat said elegantly.
Emissaries from the Amethyst Civilization! Wolman was shocked. Purple Crystal was the civilization in charge of Colton, and Hutt was only one of the Star System civilizations. Sending an emissary to visit was an important diplomatic mission.
Wolman could not help but be envious of this group of colleagues from the Foreign Affairs Department who were happily chatting with the Purple Crystal emissaries. They were able to interact with emissaries from Star Cluster civilizations and were usually active in the political arena between civilizations. Their work was more elegant and dignified, but he was sent to be in charge of an armed organization.
I'll be transferred back sooner or later … Wolman consoled himself. Back then, the higher-ups had sent him to be in charge of the Black Star Corps branch because they believed in his capabilities and that there would not be any mistakes. An elite diplomat like him would definitely return to the Foreign Affairs Department.
Just as he was about to invite the Purple Crystal emissaries to rest, a woman was escorted down the spaceship by a few armed personnel. Wolman turned around and was instantly stunned.
The woman who was escorted over was Rossellin, whom he had met with Black Star a few days ago!
Wolman's eyes flashed with shock. He pulled a colleague who was accompanying the Purple Crystal emissaries and whispered, "Why is she on your spaceship? Why did you bring her over?"
That colleague was stunned. "You know her? She's a felon that the Purple Crystal emissaries specially sent to receive. Her name is Rossellin. "
Wolman's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly thought of Black Star.
Could it be …
At this time, another spaceship landed. Wolman recognized this battleship. It was Black Star's spaceship.
The hatch opened, and Han Xiao walked down with Reynold. The few Purple Crystal emissaries who did not usually smile smiled and went up to them.
After chatting for a while, the Purple Crystal emissaries waved their hands, and a few armed personnel escorted Rossellin to Han Xiao. They removed all the restraints on her and released her on the spot.
Rossellin rubbed her wrists, glanced at Reynold, and looked deeply at Han Xiao. She did not say anything and was brought into the Blacklight Stealth by Reynold.
Han Xiao turned around and saw Wolman standing at the edge of the crowd in a daze. He smiled and walked over.
"As I said, we will meet again very soon."
"You …" Wolman suddenly did not know what to say to deal with the situation in front of him.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Your Hutt Civilization doesn't allow bail, so I can only find a civilization that allows bail." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Wolman's lips trembled, and he forced a stiff smile. He had ten thousand curses in his heart, but he did not dare to say them out loud.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw that his colleague was smiling like a spring breeze, as if he knew this would happen, and he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
At this moment, he felt that his most precious sense of superiority was shattered into pieces, and it was shattered by the Hutt Civilization's government that gave him this sense of superiority.
Han Xiao did not look at him anymore. He turned around and shook hands with the Purple Crystal emissaries. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he boarded the spaceship and left with Rossellin.
Wolman clenched his fists and forced a smile again. Work was more important when dealing with the Purple Crystal emissaries.
After settling these emissaries down, Wolman returned to his office. He was the only one in the room for now.
Sitting in his seat, Wolman let out a long sigh. He wanted to suppress his thoughts, pick up the book, and continue reading, but he realized that he could not focus.
Thinking about Black Star, Wolman did not feel good. He secretly comforted himself that this was a game between the upper echelons, and it had nothing to do with him.
He did not have any conflict with Black Star. Luckily, he had always maintained diplomatic etiquette. No one knew how much Black Star had mocked him in his mind. As long as he did not fight with himself, no one would know that he felt embarrassed.
Beep beep!
At this time, Wolman's communicator rang. He opened it and saw that it was a message from his direct superior.
"His Excellency Black Star told us that he was very satisfied with your reception and felt very comfortable. He also hopes to see you again next time. Your transfer application will be postponed for now. You will continue to be in charge of the diplomatic missions of the Black Star Corps division …"
Bang!
A few team members were about to push the door open and enter when they suddenly heard the sound of something being smashed in the office.
They hurriedly pushed the door open and saw that Team Leader Wolman's face, which had always been calm, was now ashen. The floor beside his table was full of debris. The crystal cup that he usually used was smashed into pieces, and the green drink wet the physical book that he usually took care of.
…
Blacklight Stealth, main hall of the cabin.
The three of them each sat in a corner of the circular sofa, forming a tripartite formation. Rossellin's eyes kept moving between Han Xiao and Reynold. Reynold sat upright and looked straight ahead. Han Xiao leaned against the sofa with one hand on the back of the chair and the other holding a wine glass. He looked at Rossellin with interest.
"You saved me because you want me to do something for you. Don't be shy. Tell me."
Rossellin broke the silence first, her tone cynical.
Reynold frowned. "I just wanted to save you …"
"That's enough. Save those words for yourself."
Rossellin interrupted Reynold, crossed her legs, and said with a mocking expression, "I don't know this' Your Excellency Black Star '. In order to get me out, you even invited people from Purple Crystal. The cost must be quite high. I don't believe that you paid such a huge price just to fulfill the wish of a stupid subordinate. Heh, you should have told this Black-something about my ability … Sorry, your nickname is too stupid. I can't be bothered to say it out loud."
Is this woman a porcupine? She will attack anyone she catches …
Han Xiao mumbled to himself. He remembered that Rossellin did not have such a personality during the Silver Revolutionary Army in his previous life.
Reynold said with a deep voice, "I'm using myself as an exchange to ask His Excellency Black Star to save you. Don't be ungrateful!"
"Oh." Rossellin curled her lips and said, "So, you think I'll definitely be grateful to you?"
"You!" Reynold was annoyed.
"I'm quite curious. This Black-something actually agreed to such a request. Is there anything about you that he values?" Rossellin sized Reynold up.
"I'm already a Calamity Grade!"
"Wow, you've grown up, haven't you?" Rossellin opened her mouth wide exaggeratedly and clapped her hands twice, not showing any sincerity at all. She shrugged and said, "So, you're saying that he values you a lot?"
Reynold was speechless. Han Xiao was right beside him, and he did not want to boast that he was valued. He felt like he was overthinking.
"Ahem." Han Xiao interrupted their conversation and said, "Inviting the Amethyst Civilization is not difficult for me. You've been locked up for too long and have never heard of my name."
It was impossible for him to use force. Even if he had the status now, as long as he attacked a civilization, he would still be punished. The army was still growing, so it was impossible for him to destroy his own foundation.
As for removing the base to show his attitude, it would not have a good impact. It would make the other galactic civilizations feel that he was kidnapping the will of a galactic regime. He was not a Beyond Grade A yet, so it was not good to be too domineering. It was not conducive to maintaining a stable relationship.
It was actually very easy to solve this problem. If the Hutt Civilization could take over Rossellin from Ceciris, Purple Crystal could also take over the prisoners from them. All they had to do was transfer one of them.
Purple Crystal valued him far more than Hutt did because he and Purple Crystal were equal partners, and Hutt knew that he could not compete with them. No matter how strong Black Star was, he was not their strongest ally, so Hutt could not be bothered to curry favor with him. Of course, he would not give him any face.
However, showing loyalty to Purple Crystal would bring many benefits. Therefore, if Purple Crystal took action, the Hutt Civilization would be able to turn around.
Small impact and high efficiency, this was Han Xiao's first choice. If it were the players doing this mission, they would have to use brute force to break out of prison.
"Is that so? Seems like you're a big shot." Rossellin raised her brows. "It seems like I need to study the history of the past decade."
As she spoke, Rossellin stood up slowly, walked in front of Han Xiao, grabbed his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp. She then threw the empty glass away, sat down again, burped, and waved her hand casually. "I'm thirsty, so I borrowed some. A big shot like you definitely won't lower yourself to my level, right?"
Han Xiao turned to look at Reynold. "Your sister has quite a personality. She's like a scoundrel."
"She's always been so casual and mean since she was young. She never considered the feelings of others!" Reynold could not help but complain. "So, I'm not surprised that she became an ambitious schemer who toyed with the entire civilization!"
"Yeah, I'm an ambitious schemer, a scoundrel. If you let me out, countless people will suffer. Do you regret saving me, my dear little brother?" Rossellin made a face.
"No." Reynold snorted, not bothering to argue with her.
"Tsk, I'm a little touched. What should I do? Sure enough, no matter how much you hurt your family, your family is always willing to be the scapegoat."
Rossellin stretched and said lazily, "Since you're not going to use me, can I leave at will? If you refuse, I'll take it that you're still going to use me. Of course, you don't have to be ashamed of your hypocrisy. I've seen this kind of thing many times. "
Hearing this, Reynold turned to look at Han Xiao. He only wanted to save Rossellin and fulfill his duty. As for where Rossellin would go in the future, he did not care at all. Only Han Xiao could make the decision to let her go.
Han Xiao rubbed his chin and suddenly asked, "You founded the New Church in your hometown and brainwashed countless people to make them believe in you. Everyone thinks that you're an ambitious schemer."
"Well, you have the same vision as all the ordinary people in the world. At the same time, you also like to repeat nonsense." Rossellin's face was full of sarcasm. "What, is a big shot like you trying to criticize my actions? Tell me, I'll try to repent for one minute. Any more than that would be too much. "
"But I don't think you're an ambitious schemer. You're a reformer." Han Xiao leaned forward and stared into Rossellin's eyes. His tone was neither light nor heavy. He started to fertilize her.
As soon as he finished speaking.
