Chapter 863: Chapter 733: Seizing by Force

For Qu Jianlei and his group, Xiang Xue’s appearance was a complete surprise.

But for the rookie group of four, this also indirectly proves that their boss still has some personal charm.

With Xiang Xue leading the way, everyone enjoyed themselves over the next two days—she even provided vehicles.

With her companionship, Qu Jianlei relaxed a bit; he didn’t have to constantly stick close to his comrades and could spare some time to do things.

This afternoon, Xiang Xue took the rookie group to rest in the park.

For soil-crusted folks from the Garbage Star, this kind of enjoyment is extremely luxurious.

The Central City on Garbage Star also has parks, but they are merely places to relax, without any high expenditures.

The Gorge is slightly better, like the reservoir where Xiao Moshan and Qu Jianlei fish, it has some high expenditure activities.

But a park like the one on Celestial Handle Star, where you can get whatever you want just by asking, without needing identity verification, is quite rare.

One man and four women were enjoying their time, when two people walked over, one A-level and one C-level.

They headed straight to Claire, "Excuse me, Miss, may I ask where you registered?"

Claire lifted her eyelids, glanced at them, and lazily replied, "I’m not an adult yet, find my guardian."

This is pure nonsense; if she wanted to get married, she’d be raising kids by now.

But these two didn’t know, and looking around, they asked sternly, "Who’s her guardian?"

Unfortunately, the other one man and three women didn’t respond in any way.

Seeing this, the two were a bit displeased, "No one responding? We might just take her away."

"Try taking her away?" An A-level Water Attribute woman raised her eyelids, "I could use some cash."

The male A-level pointed to Claire, "Do you know her attribute? Can you afford to delay?"

Turns out these two had discovered Claire’s Dark Attribute and realized she was a rare commodity.

Xiang Xue coldly spoke, "Can’t afford to delay? You can stay and let your Supreme come to redeem her!"

"Supreme redemption?" The opposing A-level’s legs almost gave out, he nearly sat on the ground.

Are Dark Attribute Awakened rare? Indeed, rare enough to warrant an A-level to come and snatch her, it’s quite an achievement.

But calling in the Supreme, that’s an insult... don’t think my family doesn’t have a Dark Attribute.

This A-level is quite renowned locally, and even dares to try and snatch unfamiliar Dark Attributes.

Even if there’s an A-level across, it doesn’t matter, if conflict arises, they can call for backup, right?

B-level, seeing the situation weakening, hurriedly raised his hand in apology, "Sir, we didn’t mean to offend, we are following military orders."

"The military recently ordered thorough investigation of omitted Mutated Attribute Awakened, we didn’t mean to offend."

Xiang Xue glanced at him indifferently, "Using the military to suppress us?"

The B-level Awakened quickly shook his head, "I wouldn’t dare, it’s true there is such a notice on the military intranet, you can check."

"Think I’m ignorant?" Xiang Xue sneered, "The military is always investigating."

"But what puzzles me is who gave you the courage to openly snatch people despite seeing us, who are you bullying?"

The two couldn’t answer; truth be told, they did want to exploit their power.

After a while, the B-level wanted to say something more, but the A-level tugged his arm.

Then the A-level respectfully answered, "We are willing to compensate."

"Bring fifty thousand," Xiang Xue pointed at the A-level, "You stay, when the money comes, you can leave."

A hint of anger flashed in the A-level’s eyes, but he still spoke to the B-level, "Go get the money."

The B-level was about to speak, but seeing the A-level’s gesture, he turned and left.

Claire saw this and asked aloud, "Sister Xue, should we call the boss over?"

"No need," Xiang Xue replied indifferently, the Divine Text Association people are gone, she really didn’t think anyone could do anything to her.

Soon after, the B-level returned with two people, one B-level and one C-level.

The new B-level looked quite young, appearing to be in his thirties, with an imposing air.

Seeing Xiang Xue from afar, his eyes lit up, coming closer he raised his hand in salute and spoke politely.

"Renado of the Haixin Clan greets the sir, may I know your name?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Haixin Clan?" Xiang Xue slightly frowned, thinking how did these two manage to bring a Haixin Count clansman?

But she didn’t care much either, what of a Count? Reason prevails in the world.

Of course, the key is having a Supreme dad, she believes she’s qualified to reason with them.

So she waved her hand, "You’re just B-level, not qualified to ask me... What are you here for?"

Renado was slightly surprised for a moment, he’s a rising star in the Haiyin Clan, highly regarded by the family.

He’s a young B-level, from a Count Clan, lacking nothing in wealth and power, good-looking too...

He has always been successful in society, usually greeted politely even by A-levels, rarely does someone show him such disregard.

Fortunately, he was well-educated, and the other party was young yet already A-level. Speaking so boldly, he must have reasons behind it.

So he smiled and spoke politely, "I heard there was a misunderstanding between you and my two friends, so I specifically came..."

"Friends?" Xiang Xue interrupted him without hesitation.

"Being friends with someone who engages in strong-arm tactics, the Haiyin Clan surely isn’t what it used to be."

Although what she said was true, Renado seized the opportunity, and his expression straightened upon hearing it.

"Esteemed one, if you have something to discuss, feel free. May I know your standing, to be instructing the Haiyin Clan like this?"

Xiang Xue shook her head indifferently, "Mentioning family? I can do that too. I have a Supreme father; am I not allowed to comment a bit?"

The daughter of a Supreme? Renado felt a slight pinch in his heart.

That she had a Supreme backing her was not unexpected, but the father-daughter relationship was indeed a bit too close.

However, it didn’t intimidate him. Hearing this, he chuckled again, "Oh? Which Supreme might that be? Perhaps an acquaintance."

Saying this much, he no longer wanted to stand up for others, but it was necessary to clarify who the other party was.

Xiang Xue’s mouth moved, hesitating for a moment.

Her dad’s identity was somewhat sensitive, and he was currently busy, so calling him by name might disrupt his work.

So she glanced at Claire, "Forget it, ask your boss if it’s convenient."

Claire had a wristwatch and used a "Nameless Card." Hearing this, she raised her hand to call the boss.

Qu Jianlei picked up the call immediately—Little Lake had already noticed something was amiss here and prompted him.

He stated calmly, "No need to speak, I’m fully aware, first help me ask the Haiyin people where Rhine went."

Upon hearing this, Renado could no longer remain calm, "Esteemed one, do you know my Sixth Aunt?"

The Haiyin Clan employed external Supreme Honored Guests who could aid during crises.

But Rhine was the biggest assurance of the Haiyin Clan, even the Supreme Honored Guests were courteous to her.

Qu Jianlei expressed calmly, "Would I mention her if I didn’t know her?"

Renado became increasingly startled at these words. It wasn’t terrifying that the other was a Supreme. The frightening part was the casual manner he mentioned his Sixth Aunt.

He answered respectfully, "My Sixth Aunt went out on business. I can try to contact her; please grant me an order."

Qu Jianlei stated calmly, "Just tell her the captain of 8384 came twice without seeing her; lacking integrity, huh."

Accusing my Sixth Aunt of lacking integrity? Renado was a little stunned, perhaps unaware of how many Supremes she knew?

However, the next moment, he caught another key phrase, hold up, "Captain...the one from the Asteroid Belt?"

He had heard about Sixth Aunt’s encounter in the Asteroid Belt, but couldn’t recall the starship’s number that rescued them.

But it didn’t matter, answering as he input the starship number into his watch, sending it home.

"Seems it’s not a direct relation," Qu Jianlei casually remarked, then nodded, "That’s the one."

Upon hearing this, Renado was instantly shocked. That starship saved his Sixth Aunt’s group, and she had mentioned it repeatedly.

At this moment, where could he find time to fight for someone? He promptly and respectfully replied.

"I’ll contact Sixth Aunt right away; she’ll surely be delighted to hear you’ve arrived. By the way, are you the Earth Attribute one?"

"Whether I am or not doesn’t matter," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "But these people in front of you, they are all new crew members of 8384."

"Crew members of 8384?" Renado’s mind went blank. If Sixth Aunt knew what he was up to now, wouldn’t she tear me apart?

He looked viciously at the B-level who summoned him, speaking through clenched teeth, "You’ve got some nerve."

The B-level was already pale with fright, unable to resist a wail, "Master Renado, I-I truly didn’t know..."

"I’ll deal with you later," Renado could hardly be bothered with him?

Turning around, he looked at Xiang Xue, forced a smile, "I am terribly sorry for today’s incident..."

"Don’t say that to me yet." Xiang Xue waved her hand, speaking blandly, "Do I have the right to comment on the Haiyin Clan?"

"Yes, absolutely," Renado nodded with a laugh, although that smile looked more painful than a cry.

But it was unavoidable, as the Supreme referred to as a "boss" had saved his Sixth Aunt’s life.

And this young A-level female had a Supreme father at home.

At least two Supreme supports, one being her own dad, was not someone he could afford to provoke.

"Good," Xiang Xue nodded. She usually acted sensibly and seldom aggressively.

But some matters still needed to be discussed, "This time, following them, what was your intention?"

"It was to..." Renado hesitated for a moment, ultimately choosing to be honest.

He wasn’t incapable of lying, but the pride of the Haiyin Clan made him disdain it. "To speak on their behalf."

"Speak on their behalf?" Xiang Xue’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Do you know what they did?"
