Chapter 576 Always Causing Sensational News (2/2)
Herlous then continued. ”Our captain single-handedly tied down the three most terrifying enemies and bore the weight of the greatest danger. The three Calamity Grade Supers weren't able to break our captain's defense, and DarkStar was forced to use their mothership's main cannon to attack our captain…”
The reporters gasped in shock and continued scribbling.
”Three Calamity Grade Supers were beaten up and forced to use their spaceship's main cannon!”
”The two circular mountains on the outside are the result of the main cannon. Our captain used his own body to tank the cannon and emerged unscathed. Following which, DarkStar fired another shot, but they fell for our captain's trap and almost caused the death of their own Calamity Grade comrade. As such, they didn't dare fire another shot…”
This was truly some juicy news!
The reporters were all dumbfounded and hurriedly wrote.
”Tanking the main cannon with his body, Black Star arrogantly taunts for another shot!”
”Finally, the Godoran reinforcements arrived, and DarkStar wasn't willing to fight Godora again. As such, they were forced to retreat. That's what happened.” Herlous then shut his mouth.
The reporters gave a warm round of applause and wrote frantically.
”Black Star's divine might, DarkStar's pitiful escape!”
…
After estimating that Herlous' interview should be over, Han Xiao entered the conference room.
All the reporters immediately jumped up with faces full of respect and cried out, ”Sir Black Star!”
Han Xiao immediately felt as though he was the discipline teacher making his rounds in a school.
Han Xiao sat down, and the reporters began their interview. They first confirmed that what Herlous had described was the truth before showering Han Xiao with many other questions.
”Did you feel any pressure from facing three Calamity Grade Supers?”
”How did it feel to tank the main cannon?”
”What do you feel about the actions of DarkStar?”
The endless stream of questions made Han Xiao feel as though he was holding a press conference.
Han Xiao answered all the reporter's questions patiently as he needed to rely on them to spread his name. This was an additional Renown reward. After all, an event that could give him Legendary Points would definitely have many hidden rewards.
As the interview came to an end, one of the reporters asked a final question.
”Sir Black Star, for you to stay behind on Planet Aquamarine and aid the planet in fighting the calamity and fending off the enemies, is it because this is your home planet?”
Hearing that, Han Xiao's eyes glowed, and an idea popped up in his mind. ”That is only one of the reasons…”
”Can you tell us the other reasons?” the reporter asked.
Han Xiao chuckled and said, ”Of course. Planet Aquamarine isn't only my home planet. The Black Star Mercenary Group also plans to expand to Planet Aquamarine and set up a branch division on the planet. This will also be one of the bases of the Floating Dragon armed division. A while back, the Dragon Emperor came to Planet Aquamarine to assess the location, and my job is to fight off all incoming enemies.”
The eyes of all the reporters lit up, and they were overjoyed! This was another juicy piece of news!
It turned out that Planet Aquamarine was a planet under the protection of Black Star and Floating Dragon!
From that day onward, Planet Aquamarine would no longer be a low-grade planet without anything special. The brand of Floating Dragon would be marked on it, and this brand would be a protective talisman for the planet. At the very least, ninety percent of those with ill intentions would be deterred.
After all, he would not remain on Planet Aquamarine forever, and this was beneficial to both Planet Aquamarine and his own base.
Apart from raising the level of security, the fame of Floating Dragon would attract merchants and investments to the planet. Some financial groups would invest in the planet, and this would speed up the process of Planet Aquamarine becoming connected to galaxy.
Since Planet Aquamarine was the territory of Floating Dragon, even if it was a backward planet for the time being, the financial groups would still be willing to carry out some investments and transfer some technological knowledge over to aid the Six Nations in their development. This way, he would be able to fulfil his promise to the Six Nations.
At the same time, stamping Planet Aquamarine with the brand of Floating Dragon was a precautionary measure. Even if the Six Nations developed in the future and became independent, they would not dare go against their contract with him. They would be extremely clear about the outcome of losing the brand of Floating Dragon.
As such, even though the regime controlling Planet Aquamarine was the Six Nations on the surface, the true ruler of the planet was actually…
Ames
It naturally was not him.
However, with Ames' lazy nature, he would have an extremely large say.
Of course, Ames would not reject. As for the Head Butler Jenny, who was in charge of operations…
Ha! Loving colleagues like them should clean up after each other!
…
This trip of theirs was filled with rewards, and they all returned with satisfaction.
The next day, the various news agencies of the Garton Star System released detailed coverage of the 'true story' of the battle on Planet Aquamarine. It was coupled with photos of the circular shaped mountains being the main headline.
After taking a glance at the article, Han Xiao almost puked blood as he strangled Herlous and roared with anger, ”Didn't we agree to tell the truth‽ Just what did you tell the reporters‽ Did I ask you to brag? Did I‽”
Herlous was filled with grievances. ”I really did tell the truth. Who knew that reporters would be so good at fluffing things up?”
This incident was spread far and wide in the galaxy. Not just the Garton Star System, even the other Star Systems of the Shattered Star Ring who were paying attention to the chaos created by DarkStar knew about a character called Black Star who fought three Calamity Grade Supers alone and tanked the main cannon of a DarkStar mothership.
Even a Star Cluster level civilization remembered Black Star's name.
The entire Shattered Star Ring was shaken!
