Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

"Why, are these your agreed targets?"

When Liuying heard Fanyu's words, her face turned even redder, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the ground.

"No, I can't do that..."

She might be able to reach an agreement with the neutral Nameless Guest, or with the local forces of Pinocchio, but reaching an agreement with the "Society of Knowledge", "Genius Club", "Sea Patrol Rangers", "Interstellar Peace Company" and other organizations she knew in the hotel was completely a dream.

Besides, the identity of "Star Core Hunter" is not a good thing in the universe. At least the reason why they are wanted is because of the Interstellar Peace Company.

"I think I should step aside to avoid unnecessary trouble." Liuying's gaze fell on the Interstellar Peace Company members not far away, a depressed look on her face. Although her identity as the Star Core Hunter 'Sam' was not widely known.

But what happened to Pinocchio couldn't be kept secret, and the Interstellar Peace Company's wanted notice made her unwilling to gamble that the other party didn't know.

however--

Just when Liuying was thinking that she didn't want to cause trouble for others, a voice from the side suddenly broke her fantasy.

"Hey, isn't this Grammer's cavalry? They're still here~" A petite figure in wooden clogs came in front of Fanyu and Liuying with a teasing tone, holding a fox mask half-covered in her hand, with a teasing smile on her face.

Liuying's body stiffened slightly, and she couldn't help but look at her: "Masked Fool."

She originally wanted to explain something, but the amused expression on Hua Huo's face made Liu Ying lose the desire to communicate, and the other party's peach blossom eyes were fixed on her. It was obvious that the other party came here not because of her, but because of Fan Yu.

"I have to leave for a while, Mr. Fanyu," Liuying said seriously, quietly walking up the stairs to the other side. Clearly unable to accept the looks from everyone around her, she left only a graceful silhouette as she gradually disappeared from Fanyu's sight.

Fan Yu looked at the dwarf calmly and said, "So why did you send her away, Miss Hanabi?"

Hanabi had a playful smile on her face. "It's a shame that the Star Core Hunter didn't take action. I was hoping to see the Grammer Iron Cavalry here."

"Do you want to consider the occasion?"

Hanabi: "..."

She felt that the other person was the least qualified to say this to her. Who on earth had destroyed Pinocchio's dream without caring about the consequences? The guy who interrupted everyone's dreams and made it so boring had the nerve to say this.

"Forget it, even if he runs away, we still have you. The atmosphere here is very tense right now!" Huahuo said with a smile.

Fan Yu looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that in the conversation between Ms. Emerald and Odi Aifa, the minions behind both sides were a little tense, while the conversation between the leader Ms. Emerald and Odi Aifa seemed very peaceful.

Walter and Ji Zi, who stayed in the center, looked a little embarrassed.

"What do you mean, do you want to go? As the new king of Pinocchio, it would be unreasonable without your participation. How about we continue to kidnap and imprison the other ten Stone Hearts here? That might help to reduce the arrogance of the Interstellar Peace Company." Fireworks said without minding the trouble.

Fan Yu glanced at her barren land and asked, "You don't seem to have learned enough from your dreams?"

Hanabi's face froze, and she felt as if the pain she had experienced in her dream was reverberating through her body. She couldn't help but glare at him angrily: "You really are a man who doesn't understand romance."

"There's no need to bother about a female devil like you who stirs up trouble. As for imprisoning Ms. Emerald, do you think I haven't considered this plan?" Fan Yu said lightly.

Hanabi was stunned for a moment: "Huh?!"

Her words were just a bit of a temptation, and she never thought that anyone would take action. Simply put, it was like a railway cannon.

But this man seemed even more dangerous than her, actually considering kidnapping the top executives of the Interstellar Peace Company to achieve his own goals? One of the largest hegemonic forces in the universe, no normal person would even think of offending them, right?

[This guy, maybe he's more suitable for 'joy' than me?] - Hanabi couldn't help but think strangely.

"then you……"

Fan Yu ignored Hua Huo, the funny guy, and walked towards the room between Ms. Jade and Odi Aifa.

His arrival naturally attracted the attention of several parties before he even got close.

The team from Interstellar Peace Company was wearing tactical goggles. One of them suddenly pressed the button next to his ear, and the tactical goggles in front of him began to light up.

Seeing this scene, Ms. Jade subconsciously wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The employee of Interstellar Peace Company unfolded his headgear. After the goggles released a red light, a focused ray emerged from above Fan Yu's head, as if detecting something.

Then, the employee opened his eyes wide as if he had seen an incredible phenomenon.

"you……"

Before he could finish his words, his goggles suddenly cracked with a sound, and then shattered into countless pieces on the spot.

"what--!"

The employee of Interstellar Peace Company covered his eyes and screamed in pain, scarlet blood flowing out of his eye sockets, and he fell to his knees on the ground.

Two Star Peace Company employees nearby saw their colleague encounter this scene and immediately went to confront him.

They unfolded their headgear and activated it, with red light emerging.

From their perspective, they only saw a large number of honeycomb-shaped light films emerging in the area around Fan Yu, which were elements that were almost invisible in reality.

As the light films reflected through the goggles, they emitted a dazzling and eye-catching light.

"Is this... a protective shield?" The Interstellar Peace Company employee who spoke opened his mouth slightly, revealing an incredible look.

"Don't look, these shields have [rebound]..."

Interstellar Peace Company subconsciously said something to remind his colleagues around him, but it was still a step too late.

In the next second, their goggles shattered, leaving behind streaks of glass.

Fan Yu walked slowly towards the center of the field, and his figure corresponded to the employee of Interstellar Peace Company who instantly knelt on the ground with a painful expression.

It's like the sun that you can't look directly at!

Chapter 97: Jadeite Loan (Additional Update)

"what--!"

Screams of pain rang out, and the two Interstellar Peace Company employees suffered the same fate as the curious employee just now. They covered their eye sockets with their hands, and two pools of blood dripped down.

Fan Yu walked closer to the crowd.

The employees of the Interstellar Peace Company, who were facing a formidable enemy, raised the daggers hidden at their waists, and showed expressions of fear under their deactivated goggles. Some young people could not withstand the mental influence that Fan Yu unconsciously released, and their legs became weak and they subconsciously took a few steps back.

"What is that power?"

"There's absolutely no resistance, and it's so strange. Could it be similar to the ghosts that came out of everyone in chains a few weeks ago?"

"The crystal reflection from the power of preservation happened to be focused by the company's goggles, becoming the fuse that ignited the explosion... truly an incredible method." Feicui slowly stood up and looked at Fan Yu. "However, isn't this way of treating company employees beneath your dignity, Sun King?"

Fan Yu spread his hands and said, "This is the protective barrier I built before I came in. It's to prevent assassinations. Ordinary people can't see it with the naked eye. If you want to blame them, you can only blame their excessive curiosity, right?"

"Being too curious wouldn't have gotten you hurt like this." Emerald muttered to herself. Even if the reflection of the detection goggles from the Interstellar Peace Company caused instability in the matrix circuitry and ultimately detonated, they should have been automatically extinguished by the safety device on them.

Being able to exceed this limit can only mean that this man is a bit vindictive.

Of course, it was undeniable that the Interstellar Peace Company employees she brought with her this time hadn't adjusted their mindsets, and still treated Pinocchio like a former prison belonging to the company. That arrogance and contempt led to this outcome.

She looked down at the question of the Interstellar Peace Company employee beside her and asked other employees to transfer the two injured people out of the hotel.

The employees of Interstellar Peace Company who received the order immediately nodded in response. Under Fan Yu's silent gaze, they hurriedly carried their wailing colleagues as if they had been pardoned and ran towards the hospital outside the hotel.

After dealing with all this, Feicui stopped dwelling on the topic and turned to Fanyu, saying, "Following the incident that Yelina (Topa) was responsible for at Yalilo VI, this should be our second meeting."

Her tone didn't sound like that of a superior whose subordinates had just humiliated her, but rather like she was greeting an old friend.

"Strictly speaking, this is the first time we meet in our true form." Fan Yu corrected Feicui's words, while also looking at the woman he had dealt with before.

The last time in Yalilo VI, the other party appeared via long-distance communication using Topa's terminal and did not go to Yalilo VI in person.

So, when he saw the jade for the first time, it changed from a virtual projection to a real person, and the other person's face and body became more three-dimensional in Fan Yu's eyes.

She had long, fluffy, slightly curly purple hair, a lotus leaf-shaped hat on her head, and a pair of beautiful large blue eyes with a rare vertical pupil at the center. She wore a brown gem-studded glove on her left hand and a jade bracelet on her right wrist.

She was wearing a blue and white checkered dress and a blue cape. The two heavy mountains on her chest swayed with her breathing.

She wore a snake-belly sword at her waist, two leg rings on her long white legs, and high-heeled sandals. She changed her stance from time to time on the floor of the Daydream Hotel, and her heels made light thuds as they stepped on the red carpet.

"This is indeed the first time we meet. You are much younger than you looked in Topa's picture." Jade said with a smile.

Fan Yu greeted politely, "You are even more beautiful than in the image, ma'am."

Walter, Jizi, and Oti Aifa next to them: "..."

If they had not seen with their own eyes the damage done to the Interstellar Peace Company, they would have suspected that these two had conspired to do this a long time ago. They were very skilled in saying one thing to one person and another thing to another.

But no one present could underestimate these two people. Both the Emerald Lady, nicknamed "Emerald Jade", and Fanyu La, nicknamed "Sun King", were very special.

"Let's get back to the topic we were discussing before, representative of Interstellar Peace Company." Odi Afufa brought everyone's questions back to reality.

Jade hummed, "Indeed, it's more important to discuss that matter now. Coincidentally, the Sun King is here too, so you should be a good witness..."

Odi Aifa was speechless: "..."

If Fan Yu is a witness, then there is no one involved in the entire Pinoconi case. This woman's words are really cunning.

Fan Yu asked curiously, "So, what are you talking about?"

Old man Odi Aifa blew his beard. After being repeatedly humiliated by Fan Yu, business was probably the only area he felt confident in. He said seriously, "Ms. Jade believes that Pinocchio's actions in this incident were due to his actions against the gold dust.

Hoping to take over the control of Pinocchio..."

Fan Yu looked at Feicui and felt that she should not be such a reckless person.

"Of course, this is just a standard business tone for making offers. She and I both know that this is impossible..."

“…” Jade didn’t say anything.

If Pinocchio had been in ruins after the destruction of her dreamland when she arrived, her condition might have been feasible. But now that Fan Yu had appeared, she knew what he had done in Yaliluo VI, which meant that the situation had changed. She could only sigh inwardly.

"What remains is that 50% of the profits produced by Pinocchio in the future will belong to the Interstellar Peace Company, but this is unlikely." Odi Aifa said coldly to Feicui.

The latter was quite helpless: "That clause still has some possibility of helping with reconstruction."

Oti Afufa said categorically: “But this is impossible.

"Ms. Emerald, if the rumors are true, you should also be aware that this remote prison, once belonging to the Interstellar Peace Company, is no longer the same as its former inhabitants. The arrival of the "trailblazers" changed everything. Pinocchio is no longer what your company once was."

Jade: "Then how much do you lower your psychological expectations from this probability?"

Oti Afufa hesitated, "We can only accept 10% at most..."

When Fan Yu heard this, he immediately said, "That's impossible."

Chapter 98 Gold Dust: I Don’t Dare to Bet on Such a Game

His voice directly interrupted the old man's words, making the latter stunned.

Odi Aifa subconsciously wanted to ask for the reason, but Fan Yu shook his head: "You negotiated very shrewdly, but it seems that you underestimated the bargaining chips we have."

At this point, Fan Yu turned to look at Feicui: "Logically speaking, Shajin tried to overthrow Pinocchio, and now he is captured as a loser. We should demand a ransom."

Feicui was speechless for a moment. It was the first time she had seen someone turn the tables like this.

Do not……

To be precise, most forces facing this situation would have already begun imagining all sorts of worst-case scenarios and lost their composure the moment they learned she was a high-ranking member of the Interstellar Peace Company. Those like Fan Yu who still considered retaliating were the exception.

"Are you serious? Sun King."

Fan Yu hummed, "As the manager of Pinocchio, dealing with those who try to subvert order is a natural consequence, right?"

Hearing his answer, Feicui's eyes couldn't help but narrow. It was unexpected that the other party would seize on this point to make a fuss.

She looked around the hotel and asked curiously, "Can I ask if Sha Jin is still alive?"

"Of course, he is an important bargaining chip now, bring him up!" Fan Yu turned and looked to the side, and instructed the hotel security personnel.

The member of the Hound family who was in charge of security in the field responded immediately when Fan Yu looked at him.

Soon after.

A young man with blond hair, tired eyes, messy hair and bare feet came to the hotel.

Sha Jin felt the soft red carpet from his toes. He had been to the Daydream Hotel three times, but this was the first time he felt like a barefoot prisoner here.

The warm feeling from the soles of my feet is quite comfortable compared to being in a dark prison.

"Ah... I can finally get out and get some fresh air. What are your plans for today?" Sha Jin stretched lazily, his face looking completely messy, as if he hadn't taken care of anything at all.

When Jadeite saw the appearance of the gold sand, she couldn't help but feel surprised.

Among the "Stoneheart Ten," Shajin is arguably the most attentive to his appearance, often reminiscent of a peacock with its feathers spread out in all its splendor. However, Shajin's current demeanor is that of a homeless person, a sight that is somewhat evocative.

Fan Yu: "As you can see, the person from the company is here to pick you up."

Shajin turned around and saw Feicui, the lady who had once been so kind to him. His relaxed expression suddenly turned serious: "You're here too..."
