Chapter 1738 Lily Is Going To Torture Them!
Hye evilly grinned, [And make sure to show an attitude of belonging to a mighty force, got it?]
[Hmm… Don't know why, but are you doing all this to show off?!!] Old Gan felt surprised by this, and yet all he got was for Hye stressing over this point.
Hye couldn't believe the workers he hired to look down on him in such a way. The moment they passed the area of shooting stars, they arrived at the point of meeting with the formation team.
"This ship… Damn! They decorated their spaceship as if it was a grand hotel or something!" Hye blinked twice while watching the spaceship that wasn't any smaller than his flagship. Size wasn't the issue, but this spaceship was decorated with lots of golden ornaments, torches, and lights, even statues of different creatures were around the outer surface of it.
At first glance, this didn't look like anything like a spaceship, but like a luxurious mansion of someone obsessed with showing off. [You are going to lead the negotiations and dealings with them] he sent over to Lily when he got over his surprise from this ship.
[How about you?]
[I'll just keep watching from the sides] he intended before to show off personally, but now he changed his mind. Such folks wouldn't respect the lord showing his face to them, and would even mistake it as a sign of weakness or something.
So instead of this, he decided to do as any proper lord would do, leaving his followers to deal on his behalf, and he just watched from the side.
Lily was his most trusted friend, and she knew what he wanted to do. She led all of the strong forces in the fleet, and surrounded that ship while giving the workers inside instructions about what to do.
The area they needed to cover was formed of many sectors, and they needed to cover this. It wasn't practical to use that decorated spaceship, and Lily strictly ordered them to come on board and work with their men.
The workers tried to stick to their ship, but Lily didn't let them have it. This was the first slap on their face, and they eventually had to listen to her requests, especially when the nymph lady told their superiors about their stubborn attitude and complained about this.
The contract had punitive fees for breaking the contract. And so they had to listen to Lily's instructions, leave their ship, and come to Hye's.
Seeing this made Hye evilly grin, even laugh.
"Why are you laughing like this?" The pirate king didn't see any aim of any of that and didn't get why Hye was feeling this excited.
"Lily is going to give them a very hard time, hahaha!" Hye laughed again, knowing that Lily got what he wanted her to do perfectly well.
After that, everything happened the same way he envisioned and hoped for. The moment they boarded the various spaceships, they got the same treatment that any worker should have.
They didn't enjoy any privilege, and didn't get past any arrogant attitude without being shouted at and even punished. Few of them even ended up in big fights against Hye's forces, ending up with the nymph lady complaining to their superiors again.
In the end, the formation team got strict orders to be cautious while dealing with Hye's troops. They got that Hye wasn't a pushover, wasn't nobody who came to hire them without knowing what that even meant.
To hire them meant that person was quite powerful and very wealthy in the universe. Even if he had no background, like Hye, it didn't mean he wasn't nobody.
Hye knew that quite well, and yet the workers who came here thought he didn't. So they acted as if they were generously helping him here, as if they were doing a favour, not getting paid extensively and richly for their services.
In the end, they had to lower their heads, or else they'd get severely punished by breaking the contract penalty, which was around ten times the initial paid amount of bones.
Once their temper and attitude got fixed, things started to go smoother from there. Hye watched the various ships move towards far places, traveling even for weeks to arrive at their designated spots.
They had to lay the foundation of the grand defensive formation at the border of his controlled zone. In each ship, there were many who belonged to the research department. Once the orders came from their higher-ups to listen to everything Hye's forces wanted, lower their heads, and act humble, old Gan took this as a sign to start.
He messaged everyone he brought with him, asking them to start asking tons of questions about the formation.
How to lay the foundation, how to activate it, and even how to repair any errors that might happen. Gradually and under the tons of questions asked, the workers started to spill out some important knowledge about how to make the formation in the first place.
Everything they said was instantly delivered via messages to old Gan. The latter had a few of his most capable researchers by his side, and started to work on the tons of data received from their men, arranging and sorting them out, before finding the most valuable knowledge.
As they stayed for a long time with Hye's forces, these workers couldn't keep their mouths shut in the end, leaking more knowledge and valuable experience tips.
Two days after the departure of the ships carrying the formation guys, the teams responsible for building the planets arrived.
Hye already had a detailed map of this zone, one that contained everything he'd need or think of. During these two days, he already consulted with the pirate king and other friends he had around about the best places to build the planets here.
They got just a few dozen of them, and that wasn't enough to fill this insane zone. Yet they need to think carefully about where to establish these planets, as this had to follow the general layout of the future design of this zone.
