Then, Hong Dali looked towards the killer group and said, “Brother Levis, Sister Christina, and Brother Blood Demon, you guys will have to come with me. If not, I will be too afraid!”
“Hehe, no problem.” The three of them laughed loudly and nodded together.
Lastly, towards Ye Huayun, Hong Dali carefully pondered for a while, then suddenly said, “Sister Ye Huayun, if I say that I can at least double your current strength if you are willing to die for me, will you be willing to do so?”
“I...” Ye Huayun deeply looked into Hong Dali’s eyes, thought for a while, then heavily nodded and said, “I have nothing else to lose, anyway. I am willing!”
Swoosh...
Another lackey instantly appeared on Hong Dali’s system interface. The head portrait of the lackey was indeed Ye Huayun!
“This... This is...” Ye Huayun was instantly astonished. She felt enormous strength flowing out from her body! This feeling...
It was totally incredible!
“Quite a good feeling, right?” Hong Dali smiled and said. His Lackey Halo was indeed quite awesome. Hong Dali rubbed his nose and said, “That’s all for now, I will enhance your equipment too if there’s a chance to do so. Oh right, Xiaoyi.” Hong Dali looked at Ling Xiaoyi and said, “Let Sister Ye wear your cape, her identity will become that of a person from our Milky Way then. This way, she will not implicate her family if she seeks revenge.”
“Okay.” Ling Xiaoyi instantly took down her cape and passed it to Ye Huayun.
Jiang Qianxue stretched out her hand and touched the cape for a while. Then, four words instantly appeared on it—Aristocrat.Huayun!
“Okay!” Now, Ye Huayun didn’t suspect Hong Dali anymore. She nodded and agreed, then directly donned the cape. “From now on, I am a person from the Milky Way!” When her fiancé was killed, the Galaxy Aristocrat from her galaxy that she served didn’t even dare to speak a word.
What reason was there for her to serve such a lord anymore?
...
After Hong Dali made the arrangements, Jiang Qianxue contacted the space carrier in space and asked someone to send down a holographic helmet. Then, through the helmet, Jiang Qianxue appeared in her home in the virtual world.
“Master.” A guard hurriedly rushed into Jiang Duxing’s room and said, “Miss Qianxue is looking for you in the virtual world. She said it’s urgent.”
“Oh? Urgent?” Jiang Duxing squinted his eyes, put down the tobacco pipe in his hand and said, “I shall go now.”
In the virtual world.
“What!?” After hearing what Jiang Qianxue said, Jiang Duxing completely collapsed. “You guys have only just arrived there and Hong Dali killed Sir Malone? He’s a High Noble! That’s a High Noble, but he was killed just like that?”
Saying so, he sweated profusely and walked around in circles. “What should we do? What should we do? That’s a High Noble! This can’t do, I shall capture all of Hong Dali’s family and friends now. If we turn ourselves in to the High Nobles, sweet talk them, compensate them some money, maybe we can still minimize the impact of this. If not, who knows how many of the people in the Milky Way will have to die with him!”
“Father!” Hearing Jiang Duxing’s words, Jiang Qianxue anxiously said, “Malone wanted to capture me to become his wife, but I wasn’t willing. Malone wanted to kill me, then Dali killed him because of me! Yet you say you want to capture Dali’s family now?”
This reason sounded very logical, how could Jiang Duxing not know that Malone was prurient. He sucked in a deep breath and helplessly said, “This reason is acceptable, but the problem is that Malone is a High Noble. Do you know the consequence of killing a High Noble!?”
“This...” Honestly speaking, Jiang Qianxue really wasn’t very clear. After all, even though she was a Galaxy Aristocrat, it was hard for her to see a High Noble. Therefore, she didn’t pay much attention to this aspect and only knew that the consequence was very severe, but not exactly how severe...
Jiang Qianxue wasn’t clear of the consequence, but Jiang Duxing was.
“Years ago, such a thing had happened too.” Jiang Duxing said in a deep voice, “At that time, a High Noble angered a genius, then that genius directly killed the High Noble, then started running.
“Do you know how large a force the High Nobles sent to capture him?” Jiang Duxing asked Jiang Qianxue.
“I don’t know.” Jiang Qianxue shook her head.
“600 Fifth-level Stellar-level space carriers!” Jiang Duxing sighed and said, “The entire galaxy that the genius was in was surrounded by the cannons of the 600 aircraft carriers. At the same time, he was wanted in the entire Dimu Star Sector, all of the thirteen top operatives pursued after that genius!
“Speaking of which, that was a super-genius who passed Level 30 in something similar to the Tower of Trials too.” Jiang Duxing slowly said, “But so what? What the High Nobles want is absolute domination! So what if you’re a genius? They have many of them! The consequence of a genius who isn’t obedient is death!
“The final result was that because the genius refused to surrender, his galaxy was almost completely wiped out. In the end, because that genius really had no way of escaping anymore, he showed himself and challenged the top operatives. As for the result, there isn’t a need to ask.
“The genius died fighting, his galaxy compensated the High Nobles 3 trillion Dimu Dollars. As a result, the Galaxy Aristocrats of that galaxy were preserved. But as for the others in that galaxy, at least 20 billion of the people there died.
“Under the cannons of the High Nobles, a normal planet really just need a few shots to be destroyed. After that incident, everyone became afraid of the High Nobles. As long as any High Nobles appears, they will receive the highest treatment and no matter their request, we must definitely satisfy them!
“These are the High Nobles, what they want is only submission, nothing else.” After saying this matter, Jiang Duxing helplessly shook his head and said, “And now, Hong Dali actually killed Sir Malone... Tell me, what should I do? What else can I do?”
“Father.” Jiang Qianxue sighed deeply and said, “Actually, with Hong Dali’s current strength, he is able to fight head-on with the High Nobles. Just now, there were some things that I didn’t say. But now, I think I should tell you.”
“Some things? What things?” Jiang Duxing frowned.
“The Zerg race appeared on Dali’s home planet last time. In the end, the Golden Emperor Beetle appeared. It’s said that this is one of the most powerful bloodlines in the universe.” Jiang Qianxue slowly said, “And Dali is now the Star Knight of the Golden Emperor Beetle.”
“What did you say!?” This time, Jiang Duxing was completely astonished!
The Golden Emperor Beetle! That was indeed one of the most powerful bloodlines in the entire universe, it was even on par with the Green Phoenix!
“You mean to say that the Golden Emperor Beetle appeared that time on Earth!?” Jiang Duxing heavily swallowed his saliva and asked, “And Hong Dali even became its Star Knight?”
“That’s right.” At such a time, if she didn’t tell him this important news, it would definitely be impossible to ask the Galaxy Aristocrats to protect Hong Dali’s family and friends.
After all, who could easily accept the consequence of killing a High Noble?
Actually, Jiang Qianxue wasn’t very clear of the details of this matter too. She could have chosen not to say this and secretly helped Hong Dali make arrangements for his family, but she chose not to. The reason was simple. If she couldn’t convince her father and grandfather to secretly help her, no matter how hard she tried, what she could do would be very limited. Therefore, she might as well directly inform them of the situation clearly.
“This little rascal.” Jiang Duxing heavily patted his chest, calming his emotions. He pondered for a while, then said, “If what you said is true, then this time, there may still be a chance of survival.”
He thought for a while and then said, “From what I know, the thirteen top operatives of the High Nobles are all Stellar-levels. If High Nobles really have the strength to resist them, they might choose to retreat in helplessness and swallow down their anger. However, that depends on whether Hong Dali has the capability to do so or not. As for our Galaxy Aristocrat side, we can at most secretly go lenient on his family, but I am afraid we can’t help him on the surface.”
His words weren’t wrong.
If Hong Dali was really strong enough to resist the High Nobles, then the High Nobles could only tolerate it. After all, someone who had nothing to lose wouldn’t be afraid of anything. If they made an enemy out of someone who was as strong as the top operatives, the consequence wouldn’t be light.
But the problem was, no matter how strong Hong Dali was, on the surface, the Milky Way Galaxy Aristocrats could only maintain a neutral stand, or even help the High Nobles. After all, this was a serious matter, they couldn’t risk the lives of everyone in the Milky Way.
“I don’t need you all to help him.” Jiang Qianxue softly said, “Dali has said that he is only worried about his parent’s side. As long as they are fine, he can handle the other matters himself!”
“This...” Hearing her words, Jiang Duxing carefully thought for a while.
For such a matter like killing a High Noble, just these few words were definitely not enough to persuade him to directly stand on Hong Dali’s side.
What Jiang Duxing was really considering was how to handle things from now on. More importantly, how he could preserve Jiang Qianxue’s safety.
After all, he only had this one daughter. No matter how heavy a burden he had to bear for her, as her father, he would bear it for her!
These were what parents were. No matter what kind of mistake their children did, they didn’t have a choice but to think of something to resolve it.
Jiang Duxing thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, “Qianxue, I must talk to you clearly about this matter.
“For Hong Dali’s side, all I can do is to help him secretly transfer his family and friends away. I can give them a false identity and to slightly stall time for him. But you must know that the High Nobles won’t be so easily fooled. I reckon the news of Malone’s death has already reached the Dimu Star Sector headquarters.
“At most three days later, the top operatives will reach Faerie Star to investigate this matter. If your side covered this up properly, you might be able to drag it for 10 to 15 days. If not, at most seven days.
“After they discover that it was Hong Dali who killed Malone, they will definitely come to Milky Way to investigate. By that time, no matter what the case is, we must cooperate with them fully. After all, we can’t risk the lives of our entire race and of those in the entire Milky Way.”
“Therefore... Qianxue.” Speaking up to this point, Jiang Duxing sucked in a deep breath, looked at Jiang Qianxue, and said, “Malone’s death is definitely related to you too, there’s really nothing I can do about this. All I can say is for you to develop as fast as you can. If you guys have the strength to resist the High Nobles’ Starfleet and the thirteen top operatives like the pirate king White Beard Gate, by that time, there’s nothing that those High Nobles can do about you guys.”
