The Honorary Aristocrats around all took three steps back and started discussing quietly—
“This Hong Dali still dares to appear here. He’s quite brave. The entire Star Sector is hunting for him now!”
“So what if he’s wanted? He killed three of the toughest Top Operatives within seconds. It’s a good thing he isn’t fighting any of us. You’re still talking about the bounty?”
“That’s right. Which one of us will be a match for him? Not even Hong Dali. Even his lackeys are all capable of taking on a crowd. We are insignificant to them.”
“True. We’re lucky that he’s not fighting us. Lower your heads. The executioner is looking this way!”
Hm, Hong Dali had been wandering around these days, so he was unaware that he gained a few new nicknames apart from “Prodigal Hong Dali”, such as “Murderer Hong Dali”, “Executioner Hong Dali”, “Hong Dali, the one who kills without blinking”, “Butcher Hong Dali”, etc.
Hong Dali was basically someone who could make children cry at night.
“Look at how scared they are.” Hong Dali pouted. He found a place to sit down and turned on his communication device. He was not worried at all. After all, there was nobody who could form a threat against him on this planet. Levis alone could handle all the Black and White levels.
“Dali! Have you reached?!” Jiang Qianxue appeared in the video. “I’m in the meeting room around 100 meters to the East of the cave. Hurry and come! My father is here too. There’s some important news.”
“Oh, okay.” Hong Dali nodded and headed towards Jiang Qianxue’s location.
This little room was set up by the Top Operatives to prevent Jiang Qianxue from moving around. Now that Razer and the other Top Operatives were dead, this room had been converted into a convenient conference room.
“Uncle Jiang!” Hong Dali hurriedly greeted. “You’re here.”
“Hm, take a seat.” Jiang Duxing nodded. He chose to be direct this time. “There are ten Top Operatives left. They brought 500 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers and have arrived at the Milky Way. 100 space carriers are headed for the old Earth coordinates.”
“I understand.” Hong Dali instantly understood what Jiang Duxing meant. “Uncle Jiang, what you mean is that the coordinates of our New Earth won’t remain hidden for long. Within a few days, they’ll find the New Earth’s coordinates and head there, right?”
“That’s right.” Jiang Duxing said quietly, “In other words, you don’t have a lot of time left. This thing has escalated too quickly. We Galaxy Aristocrats are deeply involved in this now. The High Nobles have requested a compensation of ten trillion Dimu Dollars and also for us to hand over everyone involved with you. Money’s not the issue. The key thing is the people.”
“Ten trillion Dimu Dollars? Screw them!” Hong Dali laughed coldly. “I’ll see how much longer they can keep that up for!”
To be honest, the Galaxy Aristocrats were good to him. Even Li Tianxing was passable now. The High Nobles, on the other hand, wanted to obliterate his home planet just for killing Malone and three Top Operatives. This bill must be settled properly!
“The problem now is that this planet has been locked down.” Jiang Duxing was a bit troubled. “How will you leave this place?”
“I’ll go once everyone’s here.” Hong Dali smiled. “Only entrance is allowed but not exit? I’ll see what they can do to me.” As a Star Knight, Hong Dali felt that this was no issue at all!
Soon, everyone returned on the backs of the huge birds native to Faerie Star. Once they dismounted, the aura shocked everyone around the cave.
They were all Black-level and above, and judging from their scent, all of them were ability users!
“This… this is too terrifying, right?” The Honorary Aristocrats discussed. “All of them are ability users. Look at the powerful aura they’re emitting. Amazing!”
“All of them are from the Milky Way, right? I remember seeing them when they just arrived here. They look much more powerful than before!”
“Isn’t the biggest killer of the Milky Way, Hong Dali, supposedly a prodigal? How did such a vicious character emerge from the Milky Way?”
“Who knows. Can’t compare to that. Can’t compare to that!”
Prodigal? That’s right. Hong Dali was a prodigal!
Who was a prodigal? Nothing was ever precious to a prodigal no matter how hard others tried to get them! You were a genius? Almighty genius? Monster? No problem. A prodigal would bury you in hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times the resources!
Not enough attributes? A prodigal would consume rare natural ingredients in tons at a time.
No abilities? Grab Soul Stones by the bunch. Fuse with whichever one he wanted!
In conclusion, to a prodigal, no problems solvable with money would be considered a problem! No problems solvable with resources would be a problem! That, was the true ultimate secret of a prodigal!
These Honorary Aristocrats did not understand Hong Dali. Hong Dali looked carefree and heartless. However, he was way smarter than he looked. He pretended to be slow normally just because he was too lazy to use his brain. In his mind, people who were too smart had no friends.
There was a famous saying: “Ignorance is bliss!”
“Hahaha, everyone’s here, right?” Hong Dali slowly walked out of Jiang Qianxue’s small house. Acka was squatting on his head. He laughed and said loudly, “Since everyone’s back, let’s prepare to leave now!”
Everyone looked at Hong Dali and responded. “We’ll do whatever you say, Young Master!”
The situation was shocking. Every Honorary Aristocrat present felt their scalps tingle.
Too terrifying!
At first, everyone assumed that only Hong Dali and a few others were involved in the murder of Malone. Now, it was clear that Hong Dali was the leader of all the Milky Way Honorary Aristocrats! Absolute boss. They heard everyone yelling, “We’ll do whatever you say, Young Master!”
Now that they thought about it, it was no wonder why Hong Dali was only with a few others. Everyone else went to search for Soul Stones. Once they found them, they returned to gather here!
“Hehe, since we’re leaving.” Hong Dali sniffled and smiled. “I have to at least say goodbye to Sister Green Bird first. It won’t be nice to leave just like that. Lackeys, guard the door!”
Lackeys: “Yes Sir!” Over twenty guards then appeared in front of the cave entrance…
Once they saw that, who would still dare to oppose them? They would be asking for death.
Thus, Hong Dali freely walked into the cave.
“Sister Green Bird.” Hong Dali hurriedly walked over and smiled. “Something happened near my hometown. I have to leave now. I thought that I should come to say my goodbyes. Hehe.”
Acka saw its mother and excitedly chirped. “Chirp chirp—”
“Hm, I understand.” When she saw the mysterious boy, Green Phoenix had a very gentle look in her eyes. “Go. Remember, don’t be blinded by hatred. Always keep a calm and peaceful heart no matter what happens.”
“Hm, relax. I’m not a murderer.” Hong Dali smiled and said, “Then, Sister Green Bird, how should I get out? Should I shoot those space carriers down?”
He was not joking. Although the High Nobles said that people could only enter Faerie Star, not leave, he definitely would not mind taking care of a few space carriers for fun just to get out.
“No need for that. I’ll help you get out later.” Green Phoenix shook her head and slowly closed her eyes.
Hong Dali was not sure about what the Green Phoenix was doing. However, he trusted what she said. As expected, a silver-white spacecraft about 200 meters long appeared near the entrance of the cave. Green Phoenix opened her eyes and looked at Hong Dali. “Go. This spacecraft is specially designed for my esteemed guests on Faerie Star. No matter what happens on Faerie Star, it will not be affected.”
What the heck. There was a VIP guest system here?
Hong Dali exclaimed, “Then, Sister Green Bird, does this VIP have any requirements? I want to be a VIP too!”
“You already are.” Green Phoenix smiled. “Anyone who can help the beasts on Faerie Star to transform and evolve successfully will automatically become a VIP. You helped Wuwei transform into a dragon. Hence, you’re a VIP now.”
“I see!” Hong Dali laughed. “Haha! Good! Then, Sister Green Bird, I’ll be on my way! I’ll come back and find you when I have the time. Hehe!”
“Go. Remember my words. You must maintain that kindness in your heart.” Green Phoenix nodded. “Don’t be blinded by hatred.”
“I know!”
Hong Dali laughed once he exited the cave. “Yahahahaha, lackeys, let’s go now!”
…
In space, somewhere near Earth’s star sector.
100 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers, each over 2,000 kilometers long, headed towards Earth’s coordinates.
The space carriers looked terrifying, especially the giant main cannons. Those things could completely demolish an entire planet with a few shots. They made nuclear bombs look like children’s toys in comparison.
“Report, Captain.” A soldier reported to the captain of the space carrier. “We are 4,032,000,000 kilometers away from the target location. At the current pace, we will arrive at the location in fifty-six hours.”
“Fifty-six hours? Hm, alright.” The captain nodded. “Remind everyone to get a good rest. Our mission is easy this time. Don’t be too nervous. It’s just a normal small planet.”
“Roger!” The soldier instantly left to relay the orders.
“This time, our superiors asked us to surround them instead of firing at them.” The captain touched his chin and smiled. “It’s such a tiny place. We can obliterate the entire planet within seconds. Yet, they sent out 100 space carriers. They’re making such a huge deal out of nothing. Meh, I guess it makes sense since that Hong Dali came from this planet. He even dares to kill the High Nobles. I have no idea what he was thinking.”
He thought for a while and finally stretched lazily. “Ah, since we have two more days, let’s take a break for a while. We’ll talk about everything else once we arrive.”
