Chapter 309 All Ready (1/2)
Clank!
The heavy chains fell onto the ground. Kerlodd heaved a sigh of relief, moved his limbs around, and awkwardly looked down on his nude body. ”Can I…”
A set of clothes were thrown toward him. Kerlodd shoved them on hastily; being naked would have humiliated anyone.
Han Xiao stared at Kerlodd with a smile the whole time. Kerlodd's personal account had galactic general currency. Calling the galactic travel agency needed money, and since Han Xiao was unsure if they would accept resources as payment, getting the general currency was insurance.
Furthermore, he indeed did not want to kill Kerlodd. Although he had the upper hand now, Godora definitely knew that an investigator had come to Planet Aquamarine, gotten into an accident, and lost contact. Thus, they would contact Six Nations at some point or even send out new investigator team.
The truth would always be revealed. If he killed Kerlodd, the conflict would only get more intense, and there was no need for that. Letting Kerlodd live meant that the personal conflict would not become a bigger one. Investigators often met a bit of danger; as long he did not die, Godora would definitely not bother as such small conflict was nothing.
Of course, although Kerlodd had made a promise, Han Xiao did not trust him completely. At least he would not let Kerlodd out of his sight in Planet Aquamarine and would not return any of his equipment to him.
Because of him acting mysterious, Kerlodd assumed that Han Xiao came from the galaxy as well, so he would not dare to make a move easily unknown of his identity.
As expected, Kerlodd asked again, ”Who are you really?”
”Galactic Human,” Han Xiao said with perfunctory.
The human race in the galaxy was a very large species, and there were countless branches. Kerlodd observed that Han Xiao seemed to be the most common type of Galaxy Human race. Not being able to identify Han Xiao's origins, he scratched his head and said, ”Okay, I will not ask again. When are you planning to leave? I want to go home soon.”
”Not too long.”
Han Xiao planned to bring the pro players from the Planet Aquamarine Division away. The Divisions would soon end; he could wait.
”By the way,” Kerlodd suddenly said, ”where's my spaceship?”
”Someone took it away, probably without the intention of returning it to you.” Han Xiao knew full well what had happened after. He knew that Raylen locked down the information just from the fact that there was no intelligence about the crashed spaceship from the intelligence agents in the Dark Net; it was clear what Raylen wanted to do.
Kerlodd was upset and did not think about contacting the Six Nations at this time. The current situation did not favor him, so he did not want to take the risk. Furthermore, he felt that he had more to say to Han Xiao, who also came from the galaxy like him, and communicating with him would be easier than with the natives.
”What malfunction did your spaceship have?” Han Xiao asked.
”I don't know either. It was flying normally and perfectly under stealth mode, and when approaching Planet Aquamarine, the engine suddenly stopped working. Although the observer spaceship isn't big, it was very stable. I have no idea why it would suddenly malfunction.
Han Xiao thought about it before shaking his head
He started to get down to business. He turned on the communicator and registered for a personal account. The communicator also worked as a personal terminal—its personal account functions were very rich and had a bank transfer function, the most common way of making a deal in the galaxy, quick and convenient. Every big civilization had their own galactic bank, among which, the most authorized and powerful ones were the three Universal Civilization banks of course. The banks worked with each other, and they could be used anywhere in the galaxy.
Han Xiao picked one randomly and told Kerlodd to make the transfer.
Ding!
”Your account has been transferred 878 Enas.” A pleasant-sounding female voice appeared from the terminal.
”Only this much money? You're too poor.” Han Xiao could not help but complain.
Enas was the general currency in the galaxy, the most common currency unit used.
Kerlodd's face turned red, and he said, ”I don't have the habit of saving. Being an investigator is a tough job, and I need to enjoy myself… Wait a minute, why am I explaining myself to you?”
He suddenly realized that he was being robbed—why did he even have to feel ashamed of having little money?
Having received the money, Han Xiao's target was achieved, and he felt assured. Counting the days, the Planet Aquamarine Divisions would last for about more than ten days, and he planned to use that time to contact the galactic travel agency in advance.
There were thousands of channels in the communicator. Han Xiao looked through and entered 'Garton Galaxy Travel Agency Channel'. A dense list of traveling routes appeared on the screen, and a cold electrical voice appeared.
”Is filtering required?”
”Yes.”
”Location?”
”Star Zone 9, Planet Aquamarine.”
”Destination?”
