Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 4072 To be honest, I'm already ready to inherit the family business!

B612 Little Star... no, to be precise, it should be B612 Small Orbital Satellite.

This is a civilian commercial residential satellite located in a remote star system of the Empire. It was originally built by a nobleman as a residential area for the purpose of mining the planet.

Naturally, most of the residents there were workers who had signed contracts that were tantamount to indentured servitude.

The boy named Huang is likely a descendant of some worker.

However, the household registration management on satellite B612 is extremely chaotic, and even with the abilities of the Pale Goddess, it is difficult to trace the source... It seems that only by sending someone to go there in person can more clues be found.

Hiro Yul silently covered the boy... Ara with a nearly moldy blanket—this was His Highness's order to be as "gentle" as possible.

This is the gentleness he can manage.

However, the Knights' Black Reaper was still very confused. How could he have come here to secretly protect Princess Raphael, only to suddenly find a boy who seemed to be royalty?

He has already taken the genetic sample of the young man Huang as instructed by His Highness... He just needs to return to Marindo and send it to the royal court.

Genetic testing can be done in many places, but His Highness clearly only trusts the tests he conducts himself.

"Um……"

As if he had just had a terrible nightmare, the young man's face suddenly turned pale, and he even broke out in a cold sweat... He let out a soft groan and then woke up completely.

"He's awake." Hiro Yul glanced at the young man, Huang, indifferently.

"You are...you are Big Brother??" Young Huang looked around in disbelief, his face full of surprise. "Wasn't I just in Boss Luo Teng's underground factory? How did I end up back home...?"

As he spoke, the young man suddenly slapped his thigh, his eyes burning as he looked at Hiro Yul, "Big brother, did you save me?!"

"...You don't need to worry about that." Hiro Yul thought for a moment and decided to follow His Highness's instructions and find out the true origin of this strange boy as soon as possible. "How are you feeling now? Is there anything unusual?"

The young man subconsciously touched his body, shook his head, and then slapped his thigh, "I'm hungry!"

The Black Reaper expressionlessly pulled out an energy gel.

The young man was overjoyed and tore open the energy gel without saying a word, then started slurping it up. He then frowned, "This is awful! What is this stuff? I know it's an energy gel, but couldn't you at least use something like banana or strawberry flavor? This tastes like toothpaste squeezed out of machine oil..."

—Be gentle...

Hiro Yul took a deep breath and thought to himself that this child had lost his family at a young age and had to live alone, which was why he had developed such an outgoing, talkative, and sociable personality... This was probably just a teenager's survival mode.

"This is all we have for now, so fill your stomach first." Hiro Yul thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to get something to eat later, you can have whatever you want."

Young Huang was overjoyed once again.

Hiro Yul replied, "But before that, you need to answer a few questions for me."

Young Huang slapped his thigh again, assuring everyone there would be no problem and he would answer any questions. But before that, he asked, "By the way, Big Brother, how did you rescue me? What happened after that? What about Boss Luo Teng? I finally managed to join the Strong Dragon Gang... Could Boss Luo Teng be dead? I don't want that!"

"The gang you mentioned will no longer exist; Star Patrol has already intervened," Hiro Yul said calmly. "Next, Star Patrol will sweep through this area."

Young Huang immediately wore a miserable expression and sighed helplessly, "Why am I so unlucky? Last time I finally managed to join the Viper Gang, and the next day the gang leader inexplicably self-destructed. The time before that was the same, and the time before that was the same..."

What kind of "big boss nemesis" constitution?
Hiro Yul opened his mouth, then decided to skip the topic. He suddenly took out a bag, tossed it onto the 'coffee table' made of old tires and shards of glass, and said casually, "What's this?"

Then, several pendants were found scattered out of the bag—the same ones that the young Huang had given to Hiro Yul before.

The young man's face tightened, as if he had been caught red-handed, and he immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

Hiro Yul picked up one of the pendants expressionlessly, then gently squeezed it, crushing it instantly. "These are all fake, aren't they? And the one you gave me, that's fake too. Where is the real one?"

"...Can't I just not tell you?"

"Star Patrol is still searching outside, and you are one of the people involved in this incident..."

"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?" The young man sighed, then put his feet on the sofa, took off his shoes and socks, and an indescribable smell began to waft out.

In an instant, the memory bullet that [Black Reaper] had ingested the antidote for a certain cockroach, which had died not long ago, struck him again...

But then they saw that the young man was wearing a matching pendant around his ankle... He took it off and handed the rather distinctive pendant to Hiro Yul, "Here it is... Big brother, I didn't mean to lie to you."

Looking at the pendant in the young man's palm, Hiro Yul silently took it—his mindset couldn't be ruined like this; so be it, the mission had to be completed.

He examined them carefully, and said calmly, "Why make so many fake pendants?"

Young Huang chuckled and said sheepishly, "Actually, it's for currying favor. Big Brother, you see, if I take out something I keep close to my heart and say that I can't bear to give it away, but because you're a good person, and I have no way to repay you, I'm leaving this treasured thing to you... wouldn't you feel a little bit touched?"

That seems to make sense?

After a moment of silence, Black Reaper said calmly, "If you are truly grateful to others, why not give them something in return?"

"That won't do!" Young Huang shook his head vigorously. "This is a keepsake left to me by my grandfather!"

Hiro Yul's gaze sharpened instantly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is your grandfather?"

"Grandpa is Grandpa?" the young man asked in astonishment. "Big brother, judging from your tone, is my grandpa some kind of extraordinary person?"

As he spoke, the young man slapped his thigh again and again, saying with great wit, "I get it! Big brother, you definitely didn't come to save me for no reason. You're asking about this pendant... Could it be that this pendant is really something extraordinary, and it's related to my grandfather?! Big brother, is my grandfather from some big family? Did he disappear for so long because he eloped with someone when he was young?! Did you come here this time just to find my grandfather? God, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

--calm!
Hiro Yul asked casually, "What's your grandfather's name?"

Without a second thought, the young man said, "Klub Abri! I remember it clearly, it was this name that Grandpa signed when he received his salary! He never told me his real name, he just called me Grandpa! Hehe, I still managed to see it!"

Upon hearing this, Hiro Yul first frowned, then his expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously grabbed the wrist of the young man, Huang!
"Big pot, what are you doing? You're hurting me..."

Hiro Yul did not answer, but stared intently into the eyes of the young man, Huang.

Kleub Abri?

Kleub Abriel?!
King Klub?!
[Abriel] The pioneer and founder of the royal family?!

"Big pot, my hand..."

Hiro Yul took a deep breath, then released his grip and said calmly, "Aren't you hungry? Come on, I'll take you to get something to eat."

"Hooray!!" Young Huang jumped up excitedly. "Big brother, tell me! Am I really an illegitimate child of some wealthy family who has been living away from home? Is my family, which I've never met, very rich?! How much will I get? Are there many heirs in the family? Are there more sisters or brothers? I personally prefer brothers! Because I feel that if it were sisters, they probably wouldn't help me!"

"...If you want to eat your fill, shut up."

"Ok!"

Hiro Yul gave the boy a deep look. King Krypton had been missing for a long time. He left after the Abriel family was promoted to royal status, and legend has it that he may have already ventured into the depths of the Primal Route...

If this boy is truly a descendant of King Klub...

There are many members of the royal family still alive, but very few are truly of direct lineage to the [King Kleub]...

He silently edited the conversation and then encrypted it before sending it out.

……

……

In the distant royal court of Marindor.

His Highness Atesliya, still in his office and not yet off work, was pacing back and forth in front of the window with his hands behind his back—Hiro Yul soon delivered a second secret report.

“King Kleub? It can’t be true…” As the biological son of King Kleub, Prince Atesliya was quite familiar with his father.

"However, given Father's womanizing nature, it might actually be possible..."

[Ateslia] His Highness took a deep breath, for similar incidents had occurred before.

Many, many years ago, the royal family found an illegitimate child, which was later confirmed to be the descendant of the son born from a one-night stand between the young King Klub and a foreigner.

This illegitimate child is actually from many generations later, and his royal bloodline is quite thin. Although he has been found, he has not been able to awaken the royal crest to this day... so he is being raised as a wealthy idler.

"He couldn't wait for him to return with Raphael!"

His Highness Atesliya has already made a decision, as it concerns the direct bloodline of King Kleub and the awakening of the royal crest.

He called out a name: "Slateta!"

The next moment, a light screen appeared, and on the screen appeared a girl with red hair and blue eyes, who was now in a restrained posture.

"Your Highness, is there something you need from me?"

[Ateslia] said directly: "You will take over Hiro Yul's mission and protect Princess Raphael until her return."

Slateta was taken aback by this and instinctively said, "But I'm on a mission right now..."

“I will send someone to replace you,” [Ateslia] said in a deep voice. “You must depart immediately and reach [Ether Star] as quickly as possible!”

Slateta nodded, one hand behind her back, the other clenched into a fist pressed against her chest, then swung it downwards. "Yes, sir!"

……

Soon, Hiro Yul in [Ether Star] received an order from the royal court.

He glanced discreetly at the boy, Huang, who was wolfing down his food, then gazed at the sky. "Slateta... [The Wind Spirit of Mercury]?"

"Big brother, what did you say?"

Hiro Yul did not answer the question, but simply said, "After you have eaten, I will take you away from here."

Young Huang's eyes lit up. "Are you taking me to acknowledge my ancestors and start my life as a rich young master? To be honest, I've been preparing to inherit the family business since I was born!"

Emmmm…

Who isn't?
……

……

……

……

In the Empire of Abrier, on the outskirts of a certain planetary outpost, in an area resembling a ship graveyard.

A large amount of warship wreckage was piled up, mostly empty shells with no value. Only scavenging ships were willing to come and pick up the scraps—after all, the valuable parts of the scrapped warships had already been removed before they were sent here.

A small airship was rapidly flying through the warship graveyard, and soon after flew into a cluster of wreckage.

Nestled in the mountains.

Young Master Arthur, son of Pirate King Armand!
Among the wreckage of the "mountain".

"Young Master Arthur, you've finally arrived!" The pirates quickly surrounded him.

"Father! Where is my father!" Young Master Arthur shoved the man aside, his expression urgent. "Quick! Take me to him! My father is such a powerful man, who could have assassinated him!"

"...Actually, it wasn't a sneak attack; the captain was defeated head-on."

"Bullshit!! Father is invincible, I don't believe it, I want to see him!!"

Soon, led by the others, the boy Arthur saw Armand lying on the bed. He rushed over, pressed himself against the window, and tightly grasped Armand's hand. "Father!! Your unfilial son is too late! Father, Father! Your son is calling you again, can you hear me?! Father, you can't die! If you die, what will I do! My old father!"

Those who heard it were heartbroken.

Who would have thought that Young Master Arthur, who was once so fierce, would also have moments of genuine emotion?

The captain had so many children, and he was extremely strict with them... Sure enough, which child wouldn't want their father's approval?

What a stubborn father and son!
“Young master, don’t be too sad. The captain just shut down his consciousness; his injuries have actually healed.” An old pirate said solemnly, “The main reason we notified you to come here is for this operation to enter the [Science Side]…”

Young Master Arthur looked sad and didn't speak, but simply raised his head.

The old pirate hurriedly said, "But the captain hasn't explained the details of this operation... We know that the captain contacted you before his accident. I wonder if Young Master Arthur knows about this operation?"

Arthur nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't worry, I understand. I was making arrangements in secret, but I didn't expect this to happen. What are your plans now? Did Father really not give you any instructions?"

The pirates shook their heads; the captain had indeed concealed the purpose of this mission very well.

“However, since you, young master Arthur, are familiar with the details of the operation…” The pirates had already discussed it beforehand, and now they said directly, “Why don’t you take command before the captain wakes up?”

Young Master Arthur shook his head and said, "You have all been on Father's ship for many years and have more experience than I do. You are also more familiar with the affairs of Father's direct fleet. As for the command, let your uncles and elders choose the most capable one. I can assist you."

"How could that be? You are the captain's bloodline, and you will inherit the pirate crew sooner or later!" the others hurriedly said. "Besides, only you, young master, know the purpose and details of the operation! Young master, you are the one who should take on the task! We will follow your command!"

The pirates were now utterly loyal and determined to support their young master!
—That's right. If something goes wrong, and the captain wakes up, it will be because Young Master Arthur acted recklessly, and we've already done our best to persuade him…

Since the captain is unconscious, the best course of action should be to stop all operations and wait for Armand to wake up—however, this operation is so large that it will likely be profitable for many years to come.

The pirates were itching to get started and didn't want to put the operation on hold!

It just so happens that young master Arthur knows about the plan!
"This, this... what am I supposed to do?" Young Master Arthur sighed helplessly. "Alas, uncles and elders... alright, I'll give it a try!"

"Young Master is wise!"

"Uncles and elders, you must keep an eye on me!" Young Master Arthur said solemnly.

—Ha, the old devil never mentioned the purpose or details of the operation!
—But since even those old devil's henchmen don't know the purpose of this operation... I, of course, know! If I don't know, I'll just say I do, okay?!
You old bastard, your family business is mine now!! I've been preparing for this day for years!
You will stay in bed forever and never wake up!
Young Master Arthur sneered inwardly.

He has already prepared a "grand gift" to show his filial piety!
