That's right, I'm here again. As usual, the three treasures are mine. But it's too messy here, so I hired a handyman. The other two treasures are his fee! — Your father!
This was the message that Alexis saw. It was left by Theon the Thief.
"Why is that bastard here again? What did he take this time? "Alexis asked.
"It doesn't matter what he took. What's important is the handyman!" Sarila said.
"Handyman?" Alexis was taken aback. He had been too preoccupied with worrying about Theon to read the message.
"Yes. The handyman that Master Theon mentioned is waiting for you in the living room." Sarila shrugged.
"Jiang Fei?" Alexis's eyes widened.
"Yes. The Bio-Armor and the Reaper's Mixture are with him." Sarila had already found out that Jiang Fei was carrying the stolen goods, but the problem was that Theon was involved. She did not dare to make a decision on her own. She had waited until now to report to Alexis.
"No wonder that kid was acting weird when he killed Grendel. It was the Reaper's Mixture!" Alexis nodded thoughtfully.
"Father, now you know what I'm suggesting," Sarila said with a smile.
"Sigh! If this kid is related to that bastard, what choice do I have? "Alexis sighed helplessly.
"Godfather, I've actually secretly investigated this kid before. I even sent spies to his home planet. This guy is indeed a loyal and righteous person. He's amenable to persuasion but not coercion. If we kidnap his family and threaten him, he might fight us to the death. However, if we show him kindness now, he'll never forget us when he becomes rich in the future!" Sarila said.
"Haha, I was right about you. You're getting more and more cautious!" Alexis nodded with satisfaction. Then, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked Sarila, "How old are you?"
"349 years old. Why are you suddenly asking about this, Godfather?" Sarila asked in confusion.
"You Kate people come of age at 350, right?" Alexis asked.
"Yes, Godfather." Sarila had a bad feeling about this.
"What do you think of Jiang Fei?" Alexis asked with a smile. Marriage was undoubtedly the safest and most efficient way to recruit someone. This was true not only on Earth, but across the universe as well.
"Foster father! Do you know how old he is? Not even twenty years old! What about me? Three hundred and forty-nine! Do you think the two of us are suitable? " Sarila was furious when she heard this. She had thought that she could become Alexis's right-hand man by training hard and helping him with government affairs. That way, she would be able to avoid being forced into a marriage alliance. She never thought that this day would come when she was about to become an adult!
"Hey, don't say that. You know that different races have different situations. You Kate grow up slowly, and it takes you 350 years to reach adulthood. Earthlings, on the other hand, only need a dozen years. So, you don't have to worry about this. You two look like a perfect match. It's settled then!" Alexis didn't even give Sarila a chance to object, and he immediately made his decision.
"But …" Sarila still wanted to argue.
"No buts. It's settled!" Alexis's expression darkened. As a Valsalrian, he was also ruthless. Although he had treated his adopted daughter well and trusted her, when it came to sacrificing her, he would not hesitate to do so.
"…" Tears welled up in Sarila's eyes, but she knew that there was no point in trying to convince Alexis. She knew her adoptive father's personality too well. She had no chance to resist. If she dared to run away from the marriage, her home planet would suffer.
…
In the living room, Jiang Fei was bored. It had been a few hours since Alexis had returned, and Jiang Fei was alone in the living room. He didn't even have a bowl of water.
"Haha, Little Fei, sorry to keep you waiting!" When Alexis returned, even the way he addressed Jiang Fei had changed. He looked at Jiang Fei like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.
"My Lord." Jiang Fei bowed to Alexis.
"Don't call me sir. I'm already 970 years old. You can call me uncle," Alexis said with a smile.
"Hehe … Yes … Uncle …" Jiang Fei said awkwardly. Alexis had always been nice to him, so he did not want to offend him. Moreover, with Alexis's age, Jiang Fei could call Alexis "Uncle" even if he wanted to.
"Well, I just thought about it. With your strength, there's no need for you to participate in the graduation ceremony anymore. Give the young people a chance. There's no point in competing with them." Alexis patted Jiang Fei's shoulder happily.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Fei nodded. He had no interest in the graduation ceremony in the first place.
"How about this? Come to my flagship and be my adjutant first. Let Sarila show you around and familiarize you with the army's environment. I'll give you a fleet in a few days." Alexis was willing to pay any price to make sure that Jiang Fei owed him as much as he could before he became rich. Alexis was willing to pay any price he could.
"Sir, I don't think that's appropriate." Jiang Fei was shocked. Although it was said that people who got promoted quickly because of their connections, there was no such thing as a rocket. Besides, he was not one of them.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. We, the Valsalrian Army, respect strength. With your strength, I'm afraid no one on Crimson Stone would be your match." Alexis's words left Jiang Fei speechless. The Valsalrian Army was indeed like this. As long as you were strong enough, reason would always be on your side.
"Oh, right. Where's Sarila? Why isn't she here yet? " Alexis turned around. His adopted daughter was the real gift to Jiang Fei. Otherwise, with Jiang Fei's strength, it wouldn't be surprising if he became a commander of a division.
"I'm here, godfather." At that moment, the cat-eared girl, Sarila, walked over. She had obviously dressed up for this visit.
"Okay!" Alexis nodded with satisfaction.
"Godfather, don't blame me for being cruel," Sarila said to herself as she walked past Alexis. She had joined the Valsalrian Army to protect her home planet. She had thought that she would get a good result if she worked hard to serve Alexis. She did not expect to be given away as a gift.
Now, Sarila had thought it through. After all, she had joined the Valsalrian Army to protect her home planet. Wouldn't it be better to have Jiang Fei's support? If she could really gain Jiang Fei's favor, she would have plenty of ways to make Alexis pay for what he had done today.
