“You... you dare hit me!” Feng Xiaowei covered his swollen face, only now realizing what had happened.
This wasn’t some T3 Blizzard, nor was it a place where Zhao Chen, standing before him, could act so arrogantly.
Zhao Chen didn’t speak; he just walked up and slapped him again. “You ask if I dare?”
Feng Xiaowei was completely speechless this time. This guy really didn’t play by the rules.
“Viscount Zhao, although my younger brother is a bit ignorant, he is, after all, a member of our Hurricane Conglomerate. I hope you can give me some face.” At this moment, a figure appeared, wearing the gentle smile of a refined young master.
It was the eldest young master of the Feng family, Feng Dawei.
“He should be grateful that he’s here right now. If he were still on that planet back then, I would have directly arranged for him to have a close encounter with the swarm,” Zhao Chen said with a cold sneer.
“You...” Feng Xiaowei was furious.
But his older brother’s glare immediately silenced him.
Feng Dawei continued to smile at Zhao Chen, then took out a card and handed it to Zhao Chen. “Viscount Zhao, there might have been some misunderstanding between us earlier.
My younger brother is indeed uneducated and has disturbed you and your sister, Viscount. I apologize to you here.
Our Hurricane Conglomerate is about to sign an Imperial Army procurement order, and at that time, perhaps our Hurricane Conglomerate can open up many collaborations with you.
Our Hurricane Conglomerate has industry, technology, and channels, and you have those Starship technologies that interest us.
If you are willing, we can cooperate.
This is my business card.”
On the card, Feng Dawei’s holographic image was projected, along with a series of titles.
For example, Vice President of the Hurricane Conglomerate, a top student who graduated from Heaven's Glory Academy’s Starship Engineering major, and so on.
Compared to Feng Xiaowei, Feng Dawei was much more calculating.
Even when his brother was slapped in front of him, he could still smile calmly and chat with him.
“Then I congratulate you on securing this military procurement order. Remember to invite me to the celebration banquet when the time comes,” Zhao Chen said, his demeanor changing from his previous fierce look towards Feng Xiaowei, now chatting with Feng Dawei with a smile.
“Certainly, certainly.” Feng Dawei, seeing Zhao Chen’s attitude, thought Zhao Chen was moved.
Afterward, Feng Dawei left with his younger brother.
“Brother, that kid just slapped me in front of so many people! Aren’t you going to do anything?” Feng Xiaowei said indignantly.
“So what if he slapped you? Shouldn’t you have been slapped? What kind of occasion is this, and you’re still trying to attract attention!
I don’t care what you do in private, but you need to look at where you are right now!” Feng Dawei said coldly.
Feng Xiaowei mumbled, “But... but him hitting my face isn’t that just hitting the Hurricane Conglomerate, hitting your face, Brother...”
“If that Zhao Chen can cooperate with us and hand over those Starship technologies,
let alone him hitting your face now, even if he were to hit your face 365 days a year, I would allow it,” Feng Dawei said unceremoniously.
Feng Xiaowei was deflated; he knew this was something his older brother would genuinely do.
His older brother not only possessed Starship engineering capabilities but was also a person who would resort to any means for commercial gain, just like their father.
“One must learn to endure. Only when you possess absolute strength can you then seek revenge on those who once provoked you.” Feng Dawei looked at his disappointing younger brother.
If he didn’t know that this was his mother’s child, he would truly suspect that this was his father’s illegitimate son from outside.
Completely not on the same level as his own intelligence.
“This Feng Dawei is quite a character,” Chu Xuan said, standing beside Zhao Chen.
“But this big shot will soon be crying.” Zhao Chen chuckled.
He looked at the business card made of a special crystal in his hand, impervious to fire and water, and bulletproof. He suddenly squeezed his palm, directly crumpling it into a ball, and threw it into the nearby mechanical trash can.
“Do you still want to look around here? I’m preparing to go back,” Zhao Chen said, looking at Chu Xuan and Zhao Wan’er and the others.
“No more, it’s boring.” Having her good mood ruined by Feng Xiaowei, Zhao Wan’er naturally wasn’t willing to wander around here.
Seeing that Zhao Wan’er wasn’t willing to wander around, Senior Su Lan and Xue Xiaoxiao naturally also expressed their desire to leave.
“Senior Zhao Chen.” Xue Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at Zhao Chen with a high-pitched voice, her eyes like silken threads.
“What are you thinking now?” Zhao Chen could tell what Xue Xiaoxiao was scheming.
Xue Xiaoxiao pouted, “I want to see your big cannon!”
Zhao Chen was stunned. Why did that sound so awkward?
“It’s the bow cannon installed on your T3 Blizzard, and those four main cannons!” Xue Xiaoxiao said, her eyes gleaming.
Why can’t you just say the whole thing?
Zhao Chen agreed to Xue Xiaoxiao’s idea, letting Zhao Wan’er take them to see the T3 Blizzard.
Anyway, just looking at it wouldn’t reveal anything significant.
If technology could be stolen by just a few glances, then it would be far too easy.
“What’s our itinerary for the next few days?” Zhao Chen asked Chu Xuan, who was beside him.
Chu Xuan raised her hand and brought up an itinerary panel, which was mainly centered around the military procurement fair.
“You can see which projects you are interested in, and we can take a closer look at those then,” Chu Xuan said.
Zhao Chen scanned a few lines, checked off several items, and finally discussed with Chu Xuan that they would leave before October 10th, and he would not participate in the subsequent military procurement projects.
Chu Xuan glanced at the military procurement projects Zhao Chen was interested in, one of which was the T2 Interstellar Destroyer military procurement fair project on October 5th.
She didn’t find it strange, as this was the most eye-catching of all the individual military procurements.
It was said that all the on-site viewing spots were already fully booked.
However, for Chu Xuan, given her family’s status, the organizers had naturally arranged a private box early on.
At this moment, Zhao Chen began to look forward to the arrival of the fifth, wondering how wonderful the expressions of the father and two sons from the Hurricane Conglomerate would be when they learned their plan had fallen through.

“Wow... so big! So thick!” Xue Xiaoxiao stood on a specialized floating platform, looking at the four 2500mm caliber medium electromagnetic cannon main guns of the T3 Blizzard before her. She carefully touched the gun barrel.
She even stood at the front of the muzzle, looking into the deep barrel, and even leaned her face in to sniff.
“Senior Su Lan, you seem to have something on your mind?” Zhao Wan’er looked at Su Lan, who was very quiet beside her.
Su Lan brushed her beautiful hair aside and smiled, “Something on my mind? Do I?”
Zhao Wan’er proactively took her senior’s hand. “Senior, you’ve always taken good care of me at the academy. If you truly encounter something, please tell me. I will find a way to help you, Senior...
Even if I... I can’t help.
At worst, I’ll go beg my older brother! My older brother is very powerful now... He... He... In short, he’s very powerful now!”
Zhao Wan’er wanted to say that her older brother could now even build Star Gates, had a T3 Interstellar Stealth Bomber, and was even going to build a T3 Aircraft Carrier Starship.
The current T3 Blizzard was also going to be expanded by dozens of ships.
But these were all secrets of the Owl Dragon Star System, so Zhao Wan’er still didn’t say them aloud.
Su Lan looked at her junior, she patted Zhao Wan’er’s head, “Mmm, I know. I’ll definitely tell you if something happens.”
Although she said so, Su Lan’s heart was filled with melancholy.
The matter she faced was not simple.
The pressure she had to bear came from an Empire!
No matter how powerful Zhao Wan’er’s older brother was, could he face an Empire?
Forget it, she shouldn’t bother them. Let this be her last meeting with them.
Enjoying this last free time.
Su Lan couldn’t help but think of the scene where Zhao Chen stood in front of her when the planet was besieged by the Zerg.
