285 I Get Rich, You Be the Scapegoat! (1/2)

After Jiang Fei returned to the lounge, he took a shower in order to wash the seawater off him. Then, he dried his clothes before he left the cabin and returned to the deck.

”Ah Fei, why's your hair wet?” Han Tianyu asked after Jiang Fei came up.

”Oh! I took a shower,” Jiang Fei replied.

”Mmm. The battle's over, let's go back.” Han Tianyu looked at Jiang Fei in confusion but did not ask any questions.

”Which side won?” Jiang Fei asked curiously.

”The Black Widow won. Come to think of it, that chick is really patient. She waited for Baldwin to bleed to death,” Han Tianyu said. It seemed like he was quite afraid of Rosita!

”Oh.” Jiang Fei nodded. He was not actually interested in the outcome of the battle between the Lockheed family and the Warner family. He was more concerned about the reaction of the victorious party after they discover that the fragment had been stolen.

Looking at the islet from the deck, Jiang Fei saw the Warner family transport Baldwin's body away. Then, Shroder and Brooke shook hands and embraced each other. It looked like the two of them were still relatively friendly toward each other, as if the battles that killed the two Metahumans earlier did not happen at all.

”What's up? Curious?” Han Tianyu asked.

”Yeah, they were just fighting with each other moments ago and they didn't even allow surrenders, which enabled the battle to stop only after someone has been killed. Why are they suddenly chummy again now?” Jiang Fei asked, confused.

”You'll slowly adapt to the real world that's full of hypocrisy.” Han Tianyu shook his head helplessly, then explained, ”It's not just among Metahumans. It's like this even in the upper-class society of ordinary people. Even if I hate you to death, and we're both vengeful toward each other and would even kill each other at any opportunity, we still have to be friendly toward each other in public. This is the etiquette of the upper-class.”

”Whatever. I'll never follow such stupid etiquettes!” Jiang Fei snorted.

”You don't have to. Your master's so powerful. Even if you don't follow the rules, no one will dare to do anything to you.” Han Tianyu shrugged. Using a Level 5 Metahuman as a deterrent was just so useful that even a suspicious Level 5 Metahuman could already achieve such an effect.

”Cut the nonsense. Let's go back!” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes. People were about to realize that the fragment had been stolen, so Jiang Fei wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

In addition to Jiang Fei and Han Tianyu, many others also came to watch the battle. There were twenty or thirty ships around and the people that came were all the younger generation of various forces. Many of them were Metahumans. They came here with the same purpose as Jiang Fei — they were sent out by their family to have a look at the real world.

Now that the battle was over, the show had ended. If they stayed here any longer, the owners of this territory would not be happy. So, many of the boats around the islet had begun to leave. Jiang Fei's departure did not seem abrupt and was not suspicious at all.

After Jiang Fei and Han Tianyu left, things became chaotic within the Lockheed family. Rosita victory in the battle had secured the Lockheed family's ownership of the ship's fragment. However, after the Warner family left, when the Lockheed family sent a towboat planning to tow the fragment of the spaceship away, they realized that it was a fake projection!

”What's going on?!” Shroder looked at the metal box and shouted loudly.

”Could it be that it was already a projection back when we first discovered it?” Jenny asked.
