Chapter 4053 The Black-Haired [Li Wei]

Since they are entering the "scientific side" in a piecemeal fashion, each group naturally has its own methods.

After all, they are notorious Void Pirates, an extremely unpopular species on all four sides... and the four sides also have different defensive measures against pirates.

Among these, TGX, from the [science side], is the most hated and the most severely targeted, with its ships constantly patrolling the star systems where those void pirates are accustomed to appearing.

TGX also refers to the Void Pirates as "Star Pirates".

"...Given the absolute need to remain hidden before the operation, headquarters provided us with a legitimate identity to operate the Black Pearl after it entered the Science section."

In the operations room of the Black Pearl, Xiang Feihu explained the details of the upcoming operation with a serious expression.

Whether other pirate crews provide identification is unknown, but the Black Pearl certainly does—Zhang Bolu is making a fuss about it, seemingly not intending to let Captain Luo experience any hardship.

"Look at the screen."

"This person is named [Levi Titus], born into a mid-level divine family of the [magic side], the eighth son of the god, and was sent by his family to attend the coronation ceremony of the [Abriel] royal family."

"Later, [Levi Titus] was captured by the Alliance headquarters and is currently being held in the Black Prison of [Rogue] City."

Looking at the young man on the screen who also had black hair and pupils, Captain Luo said, "Is this the person I'm going to impersonate next?"

[Xiang Feihu] nodded, "Yes, but according to the headquarters' investigation, [Li Wei Titus] has never left the family's divine kingdom. This is not only the first time he has entered the scope of the [Science Side], but also the first time he has left his home. So, Captain, you don't even need to disguise yourself as him to get through this easily."

“Li Wei with black hair…” Captain Luo nodded as he looked at the documents provided by Li Huamei.

This eighth son of a family of medium-level divine power can no longer be described as reclusive; his seclusion is record-breaking—he has never left his place of residence since birth.

As a result, Livy Titus became the subject of countless rumors in the region, and was even privately referred to by the people of the divine realm as the "Black-haired Demon"...

There was a reason why the child of the ruler of a divine kingdom was called a "demon" on that day—the reason was that "Livi Titus" was the child that the ruler of the divine kingdom forcibly gave birth to after he seized the spouse of the demon lord during a conquest of a demon territory.

He is the son of God, and also the son of the devil.

Because he inherited the best features from both sides? Or perhaps it's due to genetic material, [Levi Titus] has an androgynous and handsome appearance, giving the impression of a decadent and depraved noble young master of a different species.

Suddenly a questioning voice rang out.

[Gold], Shaq.

As a crew member who emptied his savings to buy a ticket to board the ship, [Brother Xian] Shak appeared in the operations room early without being notified.

He asked in confusion, "Lord Xiang Feihu, I don't understand. How can someone with only mid-level divine power in the magic field be qualified to be invited to such a grand ceremony?"

Without immense divine power, one wouldn't even be qualified to sit at the table, right?
“I was just about to explain this.” [Xiang Feihu] nodded. Although she despised Shak’s character, she wouldn’t be prejudiced against anyone in official matters. “The Titus family is not a wild divine family. [Titus] actually split off from the family of a [powerful god]. In other words, Titus himself is also a son of a [powerful god]. Furthermore, the [Titus] family happens to have business dealings with a local noble in [Abriel]. They came to attend the ceremony, and at the same time, they also intend to discuss business.”

“[Powerful divine power]... No wonder.” [Gold] Shaq nodded.

According to the classification of gods in the [magic side], [powerful divine power] is already the pinnacle of divine power. Starting from the divine power level of 15-20, each level is more terrifying than the last.

“However, this Li Wei has a complicated background. Will there be any hidden dangers if my brother impersonates him this time?” [Brother Xian] Shak acted as a considerate person, as if he always prioritized the safety of his “brother Xian”.

[Xiang Feihu] said calmly, "Since headquarters has provided this identity, the trouble has naturally been completely eliminated, so there is no need to worry. Moreover, as an invited guest to the ceremony, [Livi Titus] is only at the lowest level. There are many guests at this stage, so he will not attract attention. Furthermore, I think [Livi Titus]'s reclusive nature is very suitable for the captain and fits the character better."

Captain Luo couldn't help but blink.

--I?

—Living a secluded life?
"Captain, what do you think?" [Xiang Feihu] looked at Boss Luo seriously. "If you don't like this identity, there are two other alternative identities, but they may not be as perfect. You'll need to be more careful later to avoid revealing any flaws."

Captain Luo smiled slightly and said, "Since it was Hua Mei who recommended it first, then let's choose this one. I trust your abilities."

"Yes!" [Xiang Feihu] nodded respectfully. "Thank you for your trust."

Seeing Li Huamei's solemn appearance, Ah Xiruo couldn't help but narrow her eyes - she felt that Li Huamei's current state was a bit strange. Was she a dispatched liaison officer?

This guy's practically working himself into a secretary by now!

Looking at [Xiang Feihu]'s current appearance, Ah Xiruo felt that Li Huamei was only missing a secretary's suit to be a real secretary...

"You guys continue chatting, I'm going out for some fresh air."

The true dragon of China rose from his seat, clearly uninterested in such matters.

……

……

【Abriel】, ancestral star 【Marindor】.

A warship, clearly in the style of a magic airship, slowly sailed into the marked harbor, following the signs.

The emblem of a cross sword and a purple rose displayed on the magic airship is clearly the totem of a certain divine lineage—the god Titus.

But the one who settled at this anchorage was a mid-level divine being, completely below average—so he received almost no attention.

After all, those who come here to report are just ordinary guests.

The truly valued guests are all berthed in the upper-level area, and even then, they have their own designated spots... which is incomparable to the public berths here.

Nevertheless, the necessary identity verification processes are still required and are quite rigorous.

However, the Pirate Alliance headquarters was well-prepared, and no difficult or vulgar incidents occurred; the identity verification was easily passed.

"Captain, headquarters has arranged accommodations for you." [Xiang Feihu] pointed to a small aircraft that was landing and lowered his voice, "It's one of ours."

Boss Luo smiled slightly and said nothing.

It seems that in Zhang Bolu's plan, my trip was just a formality.

But [Xian Ge] Shak was dissatisfied at this moment, "Bah, what a lousy ceremony, the guests even have to find their own places to stay! What kind of [Abriel] Royal Family is this, it's nothing special!"

[Xiang Feihu] ignored Shak's complaints... Of course, there were arrangements, but only for those guests who were truly important to the [Abriel] Royal Family.

The vast majority of guests in the general area were more like there to make up the numbers than to be guests... Some even paid high prices to buy tickets from scalpers.

The person who came to pick them up was a spy planted in Marindo by the Pirate Alliance headquarters. His identity was a materials merchant... and he was also the main person in charge of the Alliance's disposal of stolen goods in Marindo. His name was Momojiro.

Momojiro was introducing the place where they were staying.

"These days, almost every hotel and inn in [Marindo] that you can name is packed. Luckily, I have a friend here who helped me find this nice place. [Xiang Feihu], is this hotel to your liking?"

"It mainly depends on Captain [Lo]," Li Huamei said calmly. "Everything is up to him."

Momojiro nodded imperceptibly, but when he looked at the person next to [Shohiko], he couldn't help but become much more respectful.

Actually, Boss Luo doesn't have high requirements for where he stays. He can stay in the most luxurious hotels, and he's also fine with youth hostels that cost a little over a hundred yuan, as long as it's clean.

However, ever since the maid came along, everything they eat, wear, and use seems to defy description as luxurious.

"This will do." Captain [Lo] smiled slightly: "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Momojiro."

"It's my duty!" Momojiro bowed quickly, flattered—he had indeed used a lot of connections to find this hotel, and he hadn't been careless at all. "I'll arrange it for you right away, please wait a moment."

Momojiro hurriedly went to check in.

[Shohiko] then introduced, "Momojiro is the second-generation head of the business in [Marindo]. The first-generation head was his father, who had kept his identity hidden for many years. He was recently recalled by headquarters to take on a more important job, and the original business was taken over by Momojiro. So far, it seems that he is doing quite well."

……

"Momojiro, so you were here."

"Isn't this Young Master Meilong? What an honor to meet you here!"

"Haha, I like you, kid. Come over and chat for a bit!"

Momojiro nodded without showing any emotion, though he couldn't help but mutter to himself, but his actions were without the slightest hesitation... he even looked pleased.

【Melon Fox】, the young master of the Fox family, a prominent local family, is also the true owner of this high-end hotel. The connection that Momojiro made was actually just the manager of this hotel.

This young master Fox was introduced to me by that manager—it's perfectly reasonable for a businessman to have a wide circle of friends!
"Young Master Meilong, what are your orders?" Momojiro asked with a bow and a smile.

At this moment, Melon Fox was embracing a beautiful young woman, showing no intention of getting up. He simply glanced up at Momojiro and said casually, "I heard you brought some friends to patronize my business, and they're even guests attending the ceremony?"

“They are some business partners.” Momojiro nodded. “They happen to be qualified to attend the ceremony. Knowing that I have some business in [Marindo], they took the initiative to contact me and help make the arrangements.”

Melon Fox narrowed his eyes and said casually, "What's your background?"

Momojiro smiled obsequiously, "He's a son of God from a mid-level divine power family on the [magic side], not a big shot. He even bought this qualification to attend the ceremony at a high price on the black market. He's mainly here to see if there are any ways to expand his business."

Melon Fox, still smiling at Momojiro, suddenly said, "I like things from the [magic side]. The [magic side] is like a mirror image of our [science side]. Hmm, those who dare to come to observe the ceremony, although only from families with mid-level divine power, must be quite good... What kind of business do they mainly run?"

"Mainly magic potions." Momojiro had already memorized the information perfectly. "The Titus family has a special magic transformation potion that is very popular."

“Transformation potion?” Melon Fox shook his head and said calmly, “Transformation potions are common, nothing special.”

“Yes, the competition for transformation potions is fierce.” Momojiro nodded. “That’s why I spent a lot of money to come here, hoping to find a new way… I really couldn’t refuse the Titus family’s request, so I reluctantly agreed.”

"Understood." Melon Fox smiled and said, "However, since you're your friend, I'll give you face when you come to my place. Go ahead and entertain your friend... By the way, those dancers you found last time were quite good. Get me some more later; I have a friend who should like them."

Momojiro chuckled, "Tonight, an entire troupe of dancers will appear at your residence!"

"You're so sensible." Melon Fox laughed, then stood up, put his arm around the woman, and left.

Momojiro bowed deeply until Melon Fox had completely left before slowly straightening up, but his face still maintained a near-perfectly humble smile.

Was it really just a coincidence that I appeared here?

Momojiro narrowed his eyes. With so many out-of-town guests visiting [Marindo] lately, this young master Mellon Fox is probably deliberately loitering around his hotel every day, looking for any worthwhile investment opportunities.

After all, as one of the prestigious families of Marindo, the Fox family has an extremely large system... and the struggle for succession is quite fierce.

……

"Go and investigate the background of the people Momojiro brought."

Back in his hotel office... the beautiful young woman was gone, leaving only Melon Fox and his butler.

The butler didn't say anything more, just nodded and turned to carry out the task.

Melon Fox was alone in his office, deep in thought.

"So many days have passed, and I haven't found any valuable investment opportunities. It seems my luck has been pretty bad lately..." Melon Fox muttered to himself.

He walked to the window and casually glanced at the hotel's inner courtyard when suddenly a figure entered his line of sight... In an instant, Melon Fox's pupils contracted sharply.

"That is..."

In the courtyard, a girl wearing a white dress, carrying a hamster-shaped cloth bag, and with long green hair, was slowly walking by.

In the group led by Momojiro...

Melon Fox moved a few steps along the transparent floor-to-ceiling window until the figure of the long green-haired girl disappeared, then frowned again.

"How could it be? They look so alike!"
