The journey to Bezenis was very smooth. After all, this was the hinterland of the Universe Empire. There were no foreign invasions or robbers. So, after a few days, Jiang Fei and the others arrived at the gravity well of Bezenis without a hitch.
Jiang Fei's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the Universe Empire, including the newly ascended Emperor Zhu Bide. This newly ascended Emperor knew how powerful Jiang Fei was. Back then, Ridell was killed by Jiang Fei in his old nest that he had been managing for many years.
Zhu Bide knew that he was not as scheming as Rhedale, and he did not have a stronghold as strong as Rhedale. Therefore, ever since Jiang Fei made him the new Emperor of the Empire, he had been very respectful to Jiang Fei. He had never dared to treat Jiang Fei as his own subject.
Therefore, when Zhu Bide received news of Jiang Fei's arrival on Planet Pezenis, he immediately brought a group of high-ranking officials of the Empire to welcome him. Seeing his face full of smiles, those who didn't know better would think that Jiang Fei was the ruler and he was the subject.
"Great Marshal, what brings you here?" Zhu Bide held Jiang Fei's hand and smiled.
"Well, I was just passing by, so I came to take a look." Jiang Fei smiled, then asked, "Speaking of which, it's been more than a year since we parted. How are things here in Bezenis?"
"Thanks to you, the Empire is running very smoothly. I've helped you take care of this house." Zhu Bide said this very respectfully. Although he was the Emperor, his words meant that he was looking after Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei was the real master of this house.
"Mmm!" Jiang Fei nodded. He did not fear the Emperor in front of him at all. After all, Zhu Bide was only able to become the Emperor because of his support. If not for Jiang Fei's reluctance to stand out, even if Zhu Bide became the Emperor himself, he would not dare to object.
However, because he was afraid of being targeted by the Development Team, Jiang Fei had always been very careful. So, naturally, he would not step forward to become the Emperor himself.
After some small talk, Zhu Bide brought Jiang Fei and the others to his palace. It had been more than a year since he became the Emperor. Naturally, Zhu Bide would not use Rhedale's palace anymore. Anyway, he had money, so building another palace was not a big deal.
On the way to the palace, Jiang Fei also observed Zhu Bide. He found that this Zhu Bide was indeed not simple. Although Zhu Bide was able to ascend to the throne previously because of Jiang Fei's support, it seemed that Zhu Bide had taken control of the situation on Planet Bizenis. At least, the higher-ups of the empire had completely recognized him as the emperor.
However, Jiang Fei did not really care about the fact that Zhu Bide had the upper echelons of the Empire under his control. After all, the Empire's main fleet was under his control. Moreover, Velen, who controlled the allied forces, was also on his side. Zhu Bide could not possibly cause any trouble. If Zhu Bide was an honest Emperor, then everything would be peaceful. If Zhu Bide wanted to be like Rhedale, then Jiang Fei did not mind helping him.
After arriving at the palace, Zhu Bide had already arranged everything for Jiang Fei and the others. The girls were not in the mood to talk about politics with Jiang Fei, so they all went out to shop. As the former capital planet of the Trade Federation, Bizenis was extremely prosperous, so it was quite attractive to the girls.
After the girls left, Jiang Fei asked Zhu Bide to dismiss everyone else. He then said, "I came to Bizenis this time not only to see you, but also to ask for your help."
"My lord, please tell me. I will do as you ask!" After Jiang Fei sat down, Zhu Bide did not put on the airs of an Emperor. After he sat down, he simply stood at the side, looking extremely humble.
"Alright! Then I'll be straightforward. " Seeing Zhu Bide like this, Jiang Fei naturally knew that Zhu Bide was trying to suck up to him again. However, this at least showed that Zhu Bide respected him. This way, Jiang Fei would not have to make things difficult for him.
"My lord, please tell me!" Zhu Bide said.
"Do you know about Energy Cores?" Jiang Fei asked.
"That's a precious treasure! My lord, are you interested in this thing? " Zhu Bide immediately nodded. Energy Cores were super precious treasures that could only be found a few in a galaxy. As the top of the Shang Dynasty, how could he not know about them?
"Indeed! Do you know where I can find such a treasure? "Jiang Fei nodded.
"My lord, to be honest, I have two at home!" Zhu Bide replied.
"Oh?" Jiang Fei was surprised. This was really a pleasant surprise.
"I have two Energy Cores at home. One is of the Strength attribute, and the other is of the Space attribute. If you need them, I am willing to give them to you, my lord," Zhu Bide said without Jiang Fei asking.
"Yes! I really need these treasures. Don't worry, I won't take them for free, "Jiang Fei said without hesitation. Jiang Fei did not hold back. For a treasure like the Energy Core, he would do anything to get his hands on it.
"My lord, you're too kind. Isn't it only right for me to give you something?" Zhu Bide smiled.
"Other than these two Energy Cores, do you know the whereabouts of the other Energy Cores?" Jiang Fei continued to ask.
"About that …" Zhu Bide thought for a moment, then said, "The other old guys should have some too. However, treasures of this level will never be publicized, so I'm not too sure."
Zhu Bide's meaning was very clear, which was that the other big shots of the Universe Empire most likely also had Energy Cores, but they were very tight-lipped, so Zhu Bide didn't know how many Energy Cores they had, and even more so didn't know what their attributes were.
"Yes!" Jiang Fei nodded. Since the other big bosses also had Energy Cores, he had to think of a way to get them to voluntarily hand them over.
"Oh! Lord, I think there's another place with Energy Cores! And there's quite a lot of them! "Zhu Bide suddenly raised his head and said.
"Where?" Jiang Fei was also interested.
"Rhedale's Treasury!" Zhu Bide said.
"Rhedale's Treasury?" Jiang Fei was stunned.
"Yes. That old man died suddenly, so his treasury must not have been moved. However, that old fox is very cunning. I've been in control of Bezenis for so long, but I've never found his treasury." Zhu Bide said with a depressed expression. After all, he knew that there was an ownerless treasure vault on Planet Bezenis, but he couldn't find it. Anyone would be tempted by this.
"That's right! How could I have forgotten about that old man! " Jiang Fei's eyes lit up. Rhedale was the biggest profiteer in the Trade Alliance. His wealth was uncountable. Furthermore, he was a Transmogrifier. He had no relatives at all. Naturally, his treasure vault would not be transferred to someone else.
Moreover, the location of Rhedale's treasure trove might be top secret to others, but to Jiang Fei, it was very easy to find it.
