After three days of travel through space, the starship passed through the sky gate of the jump station on the morning of the fourth day and arrived in the core of the Imperial system.

This scene was witnessed by many interstellar travelers, but ordinary people do not know much about warships. They can only distinguish them from the civilian passenger ships they are traveling on by their appearance, but they know nothing about their models or purposes, so it did not cause much of a sensation.

But it's a different story in the eyes of those in the know.

Lin Yaozong has been so worried lately that he can't sleep at night, and several gray hairs have even appeared.

He had poured a lot of money and taken great risks, planning until now, and thought he was finally reaping the rewards, but the mercenary team in charge of the matter suddenly lost contact and disappeared.

He has no idea what happened up there, or whether those people are still alive.

He speculated that there were two possibilities: either the group was blinded by greed and violated the spirit of the contract, realizing that the "super blood" was more valuable than the final payment, so they ran away with the raw materials; or they suddenly encountered some unforeseen event and were attacked by another party, resulting in their total annihilation.

As time went by, he grew increasingly uneasy and more certain of his suspicions.

If we haven't been able to contact them for so long, they're probably facing one of these two outcomes.

Regardless of which one it is, it means his investment is going to go down the drain.

When Lin Yaozong realized this, he couldn't catch his breath and choked on his trachea, almost coughing up his lungs.

More than the money he lost, he was unwilling to give up all the effort he had put in over the years.

On the well-regarded Imperial Capital Star, he steals trade secrets and other valuables from the Furei Group, which is controlled by the Sifors family. Through various connections and bribery, he manages to obtain relevant files from Planet Goodell...

Each step was harder than reaching for the stars, but he racked his brains, found a new path from the dead end, and took risks to achieve the result he wanted.

But something went wrong in the last step.

After several sleepless nights, Lin Yaozong looked as if he had aged ten years.

His family naturally noticed his unusual behavior, but no matter how much his wife and daughters cared, Lin Yaozong couldn't let go of this matter.

Until I came across a post about the fleet online.

[Preparing for a trip to Hakuna, I was queuing early in the morning at the 'East Gate' to 'enter the cave' when it suddenly got dark. Looking out the window in confusion, I saw this scene. [Images][Images][Images]]

First floor: This is so oppressive, my megalophobia is about to flare up...

Second floor: Wow! Is that a warship? They're so close! It feels like they're practically touching it!

The original poster replied: I estimate they are about 40 or 50 meters apart, but they are really too big, so they look very close.

Third floor: Does anyone know which army this is? What do they do?

……

28th floor: I also encountered this, but not in the same place as you [coordinates].

29th Floor: Let's do a drill.

……

After carefully reading the document, Lin Yaozong immediately contacted his confidant: "There should be members of the royal family on those three warships that came out of the East Pole Star Jump Station today. Investigate what they were doing on Star 9527."

Emerging from the jump station indicates that the external affairs have concluded. Given the conspicuous arrangement, the fact that they didn't return directly to the capital planet but instead detoured to an asteroid suggests there's more to it than meets the eye.

He wasn't the only one who caught this signal.

The royal family is like a butterfly across the ocean; any movement it makes is like a hurricane to the common people, and it is definitely worth pondering.

Hounds and spies everywhere were waiting for their chance to strike.

The butterfly continued to flap its wings as usual.

After another hour of travel, the starship arrived at planet 9527 and landed on the docking pad.

After dropping off Xu Weiwei and the others, the main ship took off again, carrying Fast to the Imperial Capital Star. Sifus also went back to report.

Finn received the news early and came to meet him.

From the moment Xu Weiwei appeared on the escalator, his gaze was fixed on her, and everyone around them became mere background figures.

It had only been a little over a week, but it felt like an eternity to him.

Selene seems to have lost weight again. Was her chin ever this sharp before? Does Kane even know how to take care of someone?

"Hey! You seem to have it easy, but you have no idea how I've been spending these past few days."

Upon seeing his good friend, Kane was in high spirits and went over to greet him, putting his arm around his shoulder and leaning on him. Then, as expected, he was pushed away, and unexpectedly received a cold glare.

Kane was stunned for a moment, completely confused: Why is he glaring at me?

Could it be because of the message? Surely it's not something that's still remembered now.

Xu Weiwei followed behind, and after watching the two finish their flirting, she called out "Brother".

Finn hummed in agreement, looking at her slender collarbone, feeling a pang of unease.

"What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll let the kitchen know in advance."

"Whatever, it's still early, let's not talk about that now. Have all the workers left?" When discussing work, Xu Weiwei would always stare intently into the other person's eyes, waiting for an answer.

Finn felt a lump in his throat, but he couldn't get angry at her, so he could only resignedly reply, "They've all been taken away, and some of the processed medicinal materials have also been transported back. Except for Rehmannia glutinosa, Poria cocos, Atractylodes lancea, and Polygonum multiflorum, which take a long time to process, it will take a few more days."

Xu Weiwei nodded: "Where is the place? How's it being prepared?"

Finn pulled up a 3D diagram from his personal terminal: "Forty single rooms, sixty double rooms, and thirty family suites. All basic appliances are provided. There's also a community hospital under renovation."

Xu Weiwei was so surprised she could hardly speak: "Why didn't the butler tell me...?"

It's much better now than she had imagined.

Because she needed it urgently, she didn't dare to make major changes, only instructing them to bring essential furniture like a bed and wardrobe, along with some basic appliances. She never expected them to actually combine a single room into a suite, and the community hospital was something she hadn't even anticipated!

"It was my idea, and I was also in charge of the construction and procurement. I told the housekeeper not to take up your time with this kind of thing, so don't blame him. If there's anything you're not happy about, just tell me, and I'll have someone fix it."

Finn's tone was gentle, carrying an innate composure and calmness. Deep in his eyes as he looked at Xu Weiwei, there was a barely perceptible hint of expectation—he was seeking praise.

Behind him, Vincent, wearing a smiling mask, remained silent: "Yes, it was all my young master's responsibility. It has nothing to do with me. Of course, my young master would never do something as immoral as letting someone else's butler rest while making his own butler do the work, hehe..."

Fine, I'll let it go for the sake of his rare good fortune.

Just a little bit of wind and frost.
