Chapter 797: Chapter 791 Too Much of a Coincidence_1


    But is anger useful right now? All that Barry was thinking about at this moment was just who Lucy Watson really was because pirates couldn’t possibly have a first-ss warship—no family would be insane enough to sell one to pirates. Wouldn’t that just be asking for an investigation from the Surveince Bureau?


    “I’m a pirate, no nonsense. I already gave you 24 hours to think it over, 24 hours for 5 billion star credits, and we’ll leave your family alone. But sorry, now that you’ve given me such a big gift, you won’t mind sending a bit more, right? 10 billion star credits. If it’s paid, I’ll withdraw immediately; otherwise, I might go have a chat with your people. I know which you’re on. This time, I’m only giving you one hour. After one hour, I wille back,” Lucy Watson said before swiftly cutting off themunication.


    “Commander Davis, is this how the fleets of the aristocracy, the royal family, and even the Surveince Bureau work? Composed of a few humans and mostly robots?” As soon as Lucy Watson ended themunication, she didn’t bother to continue discussing the family. In her view, there was nothing worth discussing.


    It was inevitable now, with no room for any other issues. Unless the Surveince Bureau’s fleet could arrive in time, but they were too far away from here. Besides, it was still unknown whether it would even be their family’s turn. They definitely wouldn’t be able to get here anytime soon.


    However, for the Aitken Family, it was crucial to resolve this issue now. If they really let Lucy Watson reach their home, their lives wouldn’t be safe. You can’t expect to escape using a regr shuttle or amercial spaceship against a first-ss warship, right?


    Regarding Lucy Watson’s query, Jasmine Davis to the point: “Of course not, most of the warriors employed by the various noble families and the royal family are Gene Warriors.”


    “Gene Warriors?” Lucy Watson paused for a moment, the term instantly bringing to mind some unsavory things—a whole array of gene-rted weapons that were prohibited from research on Earth.


    “Yes, warriors created bybining human genes with those of animals from variouss. These warriors are fearless, and they possess unique abilities like exceptional tracking skills, immense strength, and so on. But of course, that’s just an adjective,” Jasmine Davis shrugged nonchntly.


    “Uh, I thought they were clones,” Lucy Watson choked out.


    “No, clones are first of all not much different from humans, and secondly, clones need to be cultured. Additionally, they have almost no difference from humans, which causes them to be prone to issues. The Federation has used clones before, but one riot nearly destroyed the whole Federation. After that, the more reliable Gene Warriors were employed,” Jasmine Davis nodded with conviction.


    “That’s really unexpected,” Lucy Watson said with some speechlessness. Thebination of human and animal genes, such cultivation practices, were strictly prohibited on Earth. Whether secretboratories in various countries were researching these, Lucy Watson did not know. But at least, overtly, everyw strictly prohibited such activities.


    And yet, in the Federation, it was astonishingly open to the public.


    An hour passed quickly, and Lucy Watson promptly initiatedmunication; Barry immediately answered. Seeing Lucy Watson, he straightforwardly asked, “10 billion star credits, and you’ll definitely leave our family’s territory?”


    “Of course, once the 10 billion star credits are transferred, we will leave immediately,” Lucy Watson said without hesitation, very directly.


    “Okay, deal. Give us an ount, and the 10 billion star credits will be transferred right away,” Barry nodded resolutely. Now, he could only choose to trust because if not, the consequences were unbearable. When one’s life is at stake, anyone would agree readily—after all, it’s the family’s funds, not personal assets, so no one really cared.


    Lucy Watson reported her ount, which was managed by Luna Starfield, so she wasn’t worried. Soon, Luna Starfield informed Lucy Watson that the 10 billion star credits had been received. Only then did Lucy Watson smile and say, “Not bad, Patriarch Barry. You’ve shown great courage. I hope you have good days ahead. Everyone, prepare for the jump.”


    After that, Lucy Watson disconnected themunication. She didn’t go back on her word; this wasn’t a matter of one or two days, and she had other measures in store forter. So she left very decisively.


    Luna Starfield immediately reported the situation to Finn Lewis, who hadn’t expected Lucy Watson to acquire 10 billion star credits from the opposition so quickly. This ie was quite high; it almost recouped everything Finn had spent at the noble academy.


    But this was only a preliminary oue; there were still more than two months left. It would be seen who had the cleverer tactics.


    Barry had already reported the situation directly to Mike. If it hadn’t been necessary for Mike to contact Suleiman Cooper, Barry might have even felt like devouring Mike alive, for wasn’t this a set-up? In Barry’s view, although Suleiman could be considered his descendant, Barry didn’t feel the slightest pang of heartache—he was just too far removed.


    However, since moremunication with Suleiman was needed, Mike went to find him at the earliest opportunity. In reality, Suleiman must have known what was going on for a long time, but despite knowing, what could he do about it?


    “Let me think of something,” Suleiman started after some thought, speaking very directly. It wasn’t that he had no option. Although their warship might be one of many and considered rubbish, easy to manufacture, it was still a warship, and production had to start quickly. Three months wouldn’t be sufficient otherwise.


    Mike was appointed by him to trap Finn Lewis, but no one could have anticipated such an incident. At this point, Suleiman was even suspecting if Finn Lewis was behind this interster pirate group.


    Otherwise, it was just too coincidental.


    “Are the details passed on by your family correct? Does this interster pirate group have three first-ss warships?” Suleiman asked thoughtfully after a pause.@@novelbin@@


    “Yes, Your Highness, the information is with me,” Mike responded truthfully.


    “Let me see it,” Suleiman immediately took the photos from Mike, which was not difficult. Despite having locked Mussell Evans and others in the cruiser, Lucy Watson had no interest in taking them along, so after she left, these individuals were naturally released.


    But the shapes of Lucy Watson’s warships and some of the scanning data naturally ended up in the cruiser. However, that was all trivial, as such data were impossible to hide, and hence Lucy Watson didn’t even try to conceal them.


    A first-ss warship was something only the royal family had the right to produce and operate—of course, within the royal family, many had the right to produce a first-ss warship.
