"Come, come, come. Let me introduce you to a few old friends!" said Lucifer as he pulled Jiang Fei forward.
"Rice, it looks like we've hit the jackpot this time. Just being able to show our faces in front of these big shots is worth it!" said Lucifer. Lucius's eyes sparkled. Just a moment ago, Lockseed had brought Jiang Fei past a few people. Although they did not stop to greet each other, Lucius and Rice were both dumbfounded by what they saw.
Those who could enter this gambling house were all ordinary people with money and power. Although they were not qualified to interact with Lucifer, it did not mean that they could not be seen in public. To Lucifer and Rice, these people were all uncles. To Lucifer and Rice, letting them see Jiang Fei and Lucifer together was definitely more valuable than getting a large sum of money!
Lucifer and Rice followed behind Jiang Fei, nodding at the people they knew on both sides. Then, they waved their hands to indicate that it was not convenient for them to speak at the moment. The people they knew nodded in return. Their colleagues were either surprised or gratified.
In the eyes of these people, Rice and Lucifer were obviously lucky. They did not know how they had managed to get to know someone as important as Lucifer.
As shrewd businessmen, when these people found out that Lucifer and Rice were together with Lucifer, their attitude toward them changed drastically. Some people even started to treat the two as the heirs of their families.
For top businessmen, an excellent heir did not necessarily need to be strong or capable. After all, if they did not know how to do it themselves, they could always hire professionals to do it. On the other hand, a large network of connections could ensure that a business empire would never fall. Therefore, for businessmen, networking was more important than anything else.
This was exactly the effect that Rice and Lucifer wanted. They wanted these uncles to spread the news that they were together with Lord Lucifer back to their families. When that happened, they would be the first in line to inherit their families.
Who was Lockster? He was one of the most powerful figures in the upper echelons of the Trade Federation. As long as one was related to such an important figure, one's family would be able to prosper for at least a few decades. Therefore, as long as the family's managers were not stupid, they would definitely hand over their family to the younger generation.
Although Jiang Fei saw the two playboys behind him, he did not care. After all, it had nothing to do with him, so he could not be bothered. As for Lockster, he did not care about them at all. As long as they did not cause him any trouble, they could do whatever they wanted to do with Jiang Fei.
"Come, Ah Fei. My brothers are all here." As they chatted along the way, Lockster became even more affectionate towards Jiang Fei.
"Haha, Lord Lockseed, may I know who will be participating in this game?" Jiang Fei asked curiously.
"Ah, these games were originally organized by the officers under me. Long periods of fighting have been too stressful for them, so it's good for them to vent their frustrations. Today, my adjutant told me that since you are also on Hor, why don't we have a get-together? After all, you will have to fight alongside my subordinates sooner or later, so it's good that you can meet each other in an informal setting," Lockster said with a smile.
"Are you guys planning to enlist me into the combat force?" Jiang Fei raised an eyebrow. He initially thought that the Trade Federation would have to test him out for a few days. He did not expect them to be so efficient.
In fact, Jiang Fei did not know that the Trade Federation planned to put him aside for a while. However, ever since they found out that Jiang Fei was Theon's disciple, the Trade Federation was relieved. As Theon's disciple, Jiang Fei was definitely not a spy. After all, this Great Thief had stolen Aino's core fleet and sold it. If this was a ruse, then Aino had invested too much in it.
After confirming that Jiang Fei was not faking his surrender, the Trade Federation could not wait to use this new force. First, Jiang Fei's team was very strong. Although there were not many of them, they were all elite warriors. Each of them had a combat level of more than 200,000!
Second, the Trade Federation hoped that Jiang Fei would face the Valsalrian Army head-on. If someone died, Jiang Fei would never be able to return to the Valsalrian Army. If that happened, not only would the Trade Federation gain Jiang Fei, but they might also be able to pull Theon into their own camp.
Theon the Great Thief was not a famous name in the Trade Federation. Now, the entire Trade Federation knew that there was a godly thief who could steal an entire fleet. To the Trade Federation, this kind of talent was priceless.
"That's right. You guys stay on Hore and get ready. Next week, you will be joining my Fifth Hybrid Fleet. When that time comes, you will be in command of the Fifth Hybrid Fleet!"
"Alright! I hope to reach the frontline as soon as possible! "Jiang Fei nodded. He could not wait to let Aino know the consequences of offending him.
Although the Fifth Hybrid Fleet was not a direct force, it was more than enough for Jiang Fei. After all, the warriors under Jiang Fei's command were all Marines. His real advantage lay in face-to-face combat, not in the bombardment of battleships. Therefore, during interstellar warfare, Jiang Fei and his troops usually did not go into battle. He would only lead his troops to attack planets when there was a need to send ground troops. The 5th Hybrid Fleet was not so much a combat fleet, but an armed troop carrier.
By the time they were done with their business, Jiang Fei and the others had arrived at a magnificent hall.
"Sir, you're here!" A large number of officers stood up and welcomed Jiang Fei's arrival.
"Come, come, come. Let me introduce you to a new friend." Lockster stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Fei in front of him.
"His name is Jiang Fei. From today onwards, he will be your colleague. He will be in charge of the Fifth Hybrid Fleet. From now on, all of you must work together," Lockster introduced Jiang Fei.
"Master Jiang Fei is so young and promising. He has become the commander of a fleet at such a young age!"
"Yeah, when I was at his age, I don't even know where to dig mud!"
"What a young hero!"
…
As soon as Lockster finished speaking, many of the officers began to flatter Jiang Fei. However, there were also some who looked at Jiang Fei coldly. These were mainly the officers who were strong and powerful. They believed that Jiang Fei must have gotten such a high position at such a young age.
