After leaving Lockster's place, Zhu Bide went straight to his second target. Because he had obtained the Energy Core from Lockster, Zhu Bide felt a lot more at ease. Moreover, when he went to the next shop, he felt a lot more confident.
When Jiang Fei was chatting with Lockster, Zhu Bide had acted as if those who refused to hand over the Energy Cores were digging their own graves. If Jiang Fei were to personally retrieve the Energy Cores, not only would they lose face, they would also lose their lives.
However, Zhu Bide was also worried that those who did not cooperate would not cooperate. Even though he would eventually get the Energy Core regardless of whether they cooperated or not, if he was not the one who completed the quest, it would be obvious that he was useless. When that happened, he might even get annoyed. After all, strong people often hated incompetent people. That was what Zhu Bide was most worried about.
Sitting in his private car, Zhu Bide quickly arrived at his next stop, Kulachi's official residence.
Kulachi was originally ranked fourth among the five strongest people in the Trade Union. He was slightly stronger than Lockster and had a good relationship with Zhu Bide. After all, back in the Trade Union era, Zhu Bide had deliberately made friends with the few strongest people in the Trade Union to fight against Rhedale. So, he had a good relationship with these people.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? I didn't prepare anything … "Kulachi smiled and greeted Jiang Fei.
"Don't worry, we are brothers. There is no need for such formalities!" Zhu Bide laughed.
After the two of them exchanged greetings, Kulachi invited Zhu Bide to the living room.
"Hoho, brother, you have been doing well these past two years. Did you get a new house?" Zhu Bide laughed as he entered.
"It's just a small amount of money. It can't compare to your palace, your majesty …" Kulachi laughed.
"My palace is just a bunch of common things, not worth mentioning. On the other hand, my brother, your place is very elegant!" Zhu Bide talked nonsense. He did not want to talk about business.
"Your Majesty, do you have any orders this time?" Kulachi could not help but ask after chatting with Zhu Bide for a while.
"Yes! I really have something to trouble you with this time! "Zhu Bide saw that Kulachi finally couldn't help but speak first, so he said unhurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please speak in person," Kulachi said.
"I am here on behalf of someone else. That person has taken a liking to the energy core in your hands. I hope you can part with it," Zhu Bide said slowly.
"I don't have an energy core!" Kula was shocked. He subconsciously lied. Although the energy core was of little significance to ordinary people like him, the rarity of this treasure was the best in the universe. He didn't want to lose this collection so easily.
"Brother, I'm just doing something for you. If you really don't have it, then forget it." Zhu Bide didn't insist.
"Your Majesty, may I ask who wants the Energy Core?" Krazy asked.
"You don't have one. Why are you asking this?" Zhu Bide glanced at Kulachi and said.
"Hehe, I'm just curious." Kulachi laughed.
"Hehe, alright, it's not a secret anyway, I'll tell you." Zhu Bide smiled, then said to Kulachi, "You should be able to guess how I got to this position. I don't need to say anything if he wants me to help him, right?"
"Is it the Grand Marshal who wants the energy core?" Kulachi asked tentatively.
"Yes, and his attitude is very firm. I don't know where he got the information. He said that if I can't get it, he will go and get it himself," Zhu Bide said with a shrug.
"Ah?!" Although Zhu Bide's voice was not loud, it almost scared the shit out of Kulachi. One had to know that Zhu Bide had single-handedly razed the Royal Palace of Ridell. This matter had caused an uproar on the capital planet. Although Zhu Bide had ordered a lockdown on the news, how could such a thing be hidden from a big shot like Kulachi?
Therefore, Kulachi knew how powerful and ruthless this person was. Now that he heard that this person was collecting the energy core and that if he did not take the initiative to give it to him, he would go and get it himself, Kulachi was scared out of his wits.
However, he had already lied. If Kulachi changed his words and said that he had an energy core, wouldn't that be a slap in Zhu Bide's face? One had to know that although Zhu Bide was half a puppet emperor, his power was not small. Moreover, even if he did not use force, Kulachi, who was ranked fourth, could not win against Zhu Bide.
Therefore, at this time, there was no need to mention how conflicted Kulachi was. Fortunately, this old man had been in the business world for so many years. In a moment of desperation, he suddenly had an idea and said to Zhu Bide, "Your Majesty, since the Grand Marshal wants the energy core, I, Kulachi, will immediately go and collect it. Tonight at the earliest, tomorrow morning at the latest, I will collect at least one energy core and send it to your palace!"
"Hoho, brother, you are really thoughtful!" Zhu Bide sneered. He did not believe Kulachi's nonsense at all. If this old man really did not have an energy core, forget one night, even if Zhu Bide gave him a year, he might not be able to find it. This energy core was a treasure that was only produced a few times in a galaxy. How could it be so easy to find?
However, although he did not believe Kulachi's nonsense, for the stability of the Empire, Zhu Bide did not want to completely fall out with Kulachi. Therefore, he did not expose him on the spot. However, Zhu Bide remembered that this old man did not give him face. When he found the right opportunity, he would definitely not let Kulachi go.
After leaving Kulachi's place, Zhu Bide immediately went to the next house. At this time, he had already handed the energy core and the spatial core to Hua Mulan and Nina respectively. Then, he let the two of them go into seclusion to absorb the energy core.
Although it might take a few days to absorb the energy core, a tycoon like Zhu Bide naturally did not lack places like the Time House. Although Zhu Bide was not strong, he still had such facilities in his house.
In the Time House, Hua Mulan and Nina each absorbed their energy core and then went into seclusion. Although the other girls showed some envy in their eyes, most of them were happy for them. After all, after the two of them became stronger, they would be able to help Jiang Fei even more.
"Sister Bella, do you think sister Mulan will become a True Immortal after she absorbs the energy core?" Ariel asked curiously.
"I don't know …" Bella shook her head, then looked at Jiang Fei and asked, "Hubby, what do you think?"
