Chapter 642
A pleading look surfaced on Karell's face, his hands clutching Broly's tail, but he could no longer make a sound begging for mercy.
He looked at Broly with eyes yearning to live, but what he saw was a calm Saiyan boy watching him — more accurately, observing him.
"The Latoken Family will be buried with you."
Broly suddenly spoke; Karell's eyes widened slightly, a crack sounded, and the bones of his neck were strangled apart by Broly's tail.
His hands dropped, his sole remaining eye also began to turn lifeless, yet some resentment and relief still lingered.
And compared to resenting the Saiyan who killed him, he resented Senator Latoken even more.
After all, it was that idiot who chose a monster's faction as a scapegoat.
And the relief was that he wasn't dying alone — that piece of trash would be buried with him too.
"Broly King?"
Dorodabo approached, looking at the corpse on his King's tail, and asked cautiously.
"This person shouldn't have been lying."
Broly said; he had confirmed this during the process of slowly strangling the man to death with his tail.
"Honestly, we seriously do legitimate work, earn some hard-earned money, yet still get framed by guys we have no impression of."
Broly casually tossed the corpse onto the ground and said with some anger: "In a moment, I'll take this star pirate leader's dying accusation footage and go demand an explanation from Leka Star's President — at the very least, demand compensation for the mental harm suffered by all our Nappa Star employees!"
At this moment, Broly finally exuded the temperament of a true disciple of Aqua.
Ankira, Dorodabo: "..."
So King, you brought out the flight recorder just to record the framer's testimony?!
The two, who felt no mental harm themselves, simultaneously nodded at Broly: "Yes, Broly King, our spirits have suffered tremendous harm."
"Pass the order: solve every last one of the star pirates who came down; I'll go confirm our loot won't slip away first."
Broly raised his head, seemingly across a vast distance, locking eyes with the First Mate of the Karell Star Pirate Group currently inside the starship's control room.
"Relay the order: change course, we need to leave this planet quickly."
"Ah, First Mate sir, aren't we avenging Captain Karell?"
"Avenge your mother's ass; Karell was killed by the other side, and it was a one-sided slaughter at that — do you think you're more formidable than that Saiyan?"
The First Mate didn't want revenge; right now he only wanted to pilot the starship and flee.
Karell was dead now, so he was the person most likely to become the new Captain.
Perhaps he couldn't control the other three starships, but at least on this starship he was the biggest shot.
Leave, and he'd have a quarter of the Captain's legacy as a floor.
Stay, and he might be done in by the Saiyan who killed the Captain; anyone who wasn't an idiot would make the correct choice.
As expected, the other three starships also made the same move without any orders.
"First Mate sir, high-energy reaction detected, approaching our side from Leka Star's surface."
The First Mate was startled at the words, looked at the surveillance footage from just now, and then discovered the Saiyan who killed the Captain had lost his traces at some unknown time.
"Ah, high-energy reaction — it's that Saiyan who killed the Captain!"
An operator exclaimed; the detector's surveillance camera also played footage of Broly ascending.
"What to do?"
"Quickly intercept him, don't let that Saiyan approach our starship."
Starship beam cannon charging, starship beam cannon aiming, starship beam cannon firing.
Four light beams struck Broly from top to bottom, yet it was like mud flowing into the sea.
Broly ignored these attacks and went straight to the middle of the four starships.
The First Mate thought the Saiyan would launch an attack on them, but after arriving here the other party stopped right in their midst.
"Perhaps he wants to recruit us?"
Someone said this; the First Mate's heart stirred — this wasn't an impossible thing.
And pledging allegiance to a more powerful Leader was also a pretty good deal.
Just as the First Mate was thinking that if that Saiyan recruited them he'd be the first to open the starship door and surrender to show loyalty, a sense of weakness suddenly surged into his heart, followed by his whole body going powerless; the First Mate collapsed, along with all the star pirates remaining on the starship.
Plundering Qi aura, without the starships having activated energy shields, silently covered all starships; no concrete battle occurred — by the time they reacted to what the Saiyan had done, all the star pirates had already set one foot into the Gates of Hell.
As their Qi was plundered until not a shred remained, these people also lost their lives; their flesh bodies inside the starships were like corpses that had been dead for a long time.
"Take people to go receive our spaceships."
Broly descended again and instructed Ankira with a sentence; passing the star pirate leader's corpse, a bizarre message suddenly floated up in his mind: 【Thanks, old bro, for gifting four big spaceships】.
Broly shook his head and decided to hurriedly send some burial personnel for this star pirate old bro who had gifted his family four starships.
He went to Norta's Administrative Yuan building, where the two sides were already fighting again; after using their equipment, the Immigration Party's troops quickly broke into the Administrative Yuan building.
"Latoken, as a Senator you actually actively colluded with star pirates to have them attack our planet?!"
President Barn, driven into a surrounded desperate situation, angrily denounced the Latoken Senator opposite him.
"This isn't the situation I wanted either, but this was all forced by you — if you had been willing to nod on the proposal to accept the third batch of interstellar immigrants earlier, things wouldn't have developed to this point."
Latoken's complexion wasn't good either; Karell not acting according to plan infuriated him greatly, but he had no way — in the end, he and the star pirates were merely a cooperative relationship, not a master-servant relationship.
However, Senator Latoken did not consider this his own fault for colluding with star pirates; he threw the blame for this planet currently suffering star pirate trampling and plunder onto President Barn opposite him — it was all the other side's fault for wanting to block his money path.
And thinking that after eliminating President Barn, this planet's future would be decided by him, and the massive property losses caused by the star pirates' full-scale invasion of Leka Star could also be slowly recouped in the future, Senator Latoken's mood improved considerably.
"President Barn, do you feel regret now?"
The overall situation settled, Senator Latoken regained his elegance and composure.
"I do regret, but what I regret is not seeing through your viciousness earlier — had I known you'd do this kind of thing betraying Leka Star, I would have exterminated your Latoken Family, your Immigration Party, to the last man before this!"
"Matters have come to this; your anger is merely the howling of the incompetent, Mr. President — things should end now."
Senator Latoken raised his hand; his surrounding subordinates raised energy guns, but just then, a petite figure suddenly fell from the sky.
"It seems I've arrived at just the right time."
After Broly landed, he spoke a single line.
"Who are you?"
President Barn, who had been waiting to die with his eyes closed, opened them and subconsciously asked.
"It's you."
Senator Laken recognized the boy, but didn't know why one of the guys who had been made a scapegoat would appear here now.
"Mr. President Barn, I am the boss of the Nappa Star Security Group. You can call me Broly. I've heard of your governing philosophy from many places, and I personally greatly appreciate someone like you who wants to bring a happy life to more people. Plus, those guys over there have some personal grudges with my company, so I'm willing to help you reverse the current situation, help you protect Leka Star from the space pirates' invasion. However, I don't know how much you're willing to pay our Nappa Star Security Group for this."
President Barn was somewhat dazed, but still subconsciously replied: "As long as you can protect Leka Star, I will repay you to the best of my ability."
"Hah, reverse the situation? Who do you think you are?"
"Finger Sword."
A pale yellow light emerged from Broly's fingertips. He casually waved his hand in a circle around his surroundings, and the people standing there were sliced in two from the shoulders.
"Alright, your commission to reverse the situation, I've already completed."
President Barn: "..."
Looking at that terrifying scene like an Asura field, he discovered he truly couldn't refute this point.
"Yue~"
The female secretary beside him vomited. Killing with energy guns and killing with something like a Finger Sword energy sword, especially slicing people open, were completely different visual sensory shock scenes.
"Not yet. There are still space pirates outside. You haven't completed all the commissions."
President Barn also felt discomfort, but thinking of the situation where Leka Star was being massively invaded by the Interstellar Pirate Group, he still forced himself to endure the discomfort and said to Broly.
"Actually, I solved the space pirate problem outside first, then came over to your side to solve the problem here. Although there's a bit of a 'boarding the ship before buying the ticket' suspicion, I think Mr. President Barn shouldn't default on our Nappa Star Security Group's bill, right?"
"If what you say is true, I'll acknowledge this bill."
"For this kind of thing, you'll know clearly with just a casual check."
Broly nodded, expressing agreement.
"Also, I want to talk to you about the compensation matter regarding our Nappa Star Security Group's employees being framed and set up by your Leka Star government personnel, suffering severe mental harm."
"Ah, we framed you?"
"Not you guys, but..."
Broly didn't waste words. He directly took out the flight recorder and played on the spot the recording of how the Immigration Party prepared to frame and set up their Nappa Star people, as confessed by the pirate leader before his death.
"Based on this, I believe the Leka Star Immigration Party members who designed the frame-up should use all their assets to compensate our Nappa Star Group for the mental harm suffered."
President Barn: "..."
Looking at the frozen image projected by the flight recorder — the Saiyan boy before him calmly strangling the pirate leader to death with his tail — he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Senator Laken's coup succeeded, but he kicked a super iron plate in the Nappa Star Group. Not only were the people already killed, now the party and family might be completely uprooted, forced to pay up as compensation.
"Don't know if you have any objections?"
【Do I look like I'd dare say I have objections?】
"None. However, some Immigration Party members should not be in cahoots with them. I hope Broli-sama can distinguish."
"Good. I've received your opinion. When raiding the Immigration Party's homes, I'll have my subordinates pay attention."
Hearing this, President Barn was also somewhat surprised. He truly hadn't expected the Saiyan boy before him to be so reasonable.
Over the next few days, all the Immigration Party families and factions on Leka Star who participated in colluding with pirates and launching the coup were uprooted one by one by the debt-collection brigade temporarily formed by Nappa Star. Core members were basically killed upon capture. Confiscated assets, as long as they weren't things Nappa Star needed, were all sold at fire-sale prices, cleared out at a fraction of their value.
It's a bit funny to say, but on Leka Star after the pirate attack, the surviving Laika and Boman actually had a feeling of living through a Double Eleven shopping festival.
The Immigration Party occupied many assets on this planet. Now Nappa Star was dumping all kinds of assets at rock-bottom prices, causing people who originally couldn't afford certain things to now be able to afford them.
So, any Leka Star residents with a bit of spare money wanted to take a bite out of this giant whale that was the Immigration Party, enjoying the limited-time welfare brought to Leka Star by the whale fall.
"As expected, making money and such, you still have to look at the bad guys' wallets!"
Broly looked at the Nappa Star Group's financial revenue chart, as striking as Mount Everest, in just a few short days, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Actually, Broly King, if we directly became space pirates, we could rob even more."
Medamaga didn't dare say this line out loud. He was afraid of being beaten.
"Mr. Broly, President Barn requests your presence."
Just as Broly was happily tallying Nappa Star's latest revenue statement with Cila, the vomiting female secretary from the day of the coup came over to invite Broly to the Administrative Yuan building.
"Mr. Broly, the situation is this. Regarding the matter of rewarding you and the Nappa Star Group, I want to request you grant some grace period."
The Immigration Party controlled 67% of Leka Star's wealth. Although the Immigration Party's coup failed and they fell from power, their assets were all taken by the Nappa Star Group as compensation. President Barn's Tourism Party didn't receive any monetary gains.
Although they could afford the material reward Broly proposed thanks to the Galactic Federation immigration subsidy supplies still being there, if they gave them, Leka Star's future plan to independently develop into a tourism star would be out of the question.
President Barn was very conflicted about this, but for Leka Star's future, he still thickened his face and invited Broly.
"You want to default on my bill?"
Broly raised an eyebrow.
"No no no, we don't want to default. It's just that Leka Star's losses this time aren't small either. Most places need money. We temporarily need a large sum of funds to turn over.
And those immigration subsidy supplies are the only goods we can exchange for a large sum of money. We can calculate interest for you. This counts as Leka Star temporarily borrowing from you. Later when Leka Star's finances are relaxed, we'll definitely repay you this bill with principal and interest."
President Barn was startled and hurriedly explained.
"So that's how it is. That's simple then. I happen to have a large sum of money on hand, and what I need are supplies. You can sell your supplies to me and exchange them for the money you need."
Broly nodded and said.
"Ah, this works too?"
The reward Broly demanded was a large amount of Planet Optimization Spaceship supplies. President Barn never expected this creditor Broly to shake and transform into a buyer.
"Then the interest..."
"No need. Anyway, I already have everything I need. That commission to reverse the situation, just count it as me doing a good deed and helping you for free."
Helping others obtain rewards — Broly could forgo them, but others could not refuse to pay; President Barn's attitude of not intending to default on the debt left the boy feeling satisfied.
After President Barn explained Leka Star's difficulties, Broly expressed understanding and, with a wave of his hand, generously waived the other party's debt.
"Ah, how can that be acceptable?"
"Before long, I will be leaving this planet; Leka Star's money is of no use to me."
Broly did not care.
"Of course, if you feel you owe me something, then do your utmost to eliminate this planet's racial barriers, so that this planet's mixed-blood children can also receive the treatment and respect they deserve."
"Mr. Broly……"
"Hm?"
"Are you really a Saiyan?"
"Yes, what of it?"
"You are completely different from the brutal Saiyans of rumor; you are just like a Shengshi!"
"It is merely that the girl I like is a mixed-blood child of a Laika and a Boman, and she has already agreed to leave with me; I am simply loving the house and its crow, and under the current situation, just speaking a word for mixed-blood children like her along the way."
President Barn nodded, thought for a moment, then said: "How about this, Mr. Broly, since Leka Star's money is of no use to you, let us convert it into Galactic Federation Coins.
We cannot pay this money to you for the time being; let it count as your investment in Leka Star's future tourism industry.
If Leka Star's transformation into a tourist planet succeeds and turns a profit in the future, I will promise 20% of the profit income, converted into Galactic Federation Coin dividends, paid annually to the Nappa Star Group.
Additionally, another 30% of the profit income will be used to establish long-term projects specifically aimed at eliminating Leka Star's racial barriers, including love subsidies for current mixed-blood children.
As for the love subsidy, I hope to name this project after you and Nappa Star, and before Leka Star's transformation succeeds, I guarantee the Leka Star government will allocate 2% of its annual fiscal revenue as funding for the love subsidy project.
What do you think?"
"You want to borrow my and Nappa Star's influence?"
Broly looked at him and asked directly.
"You saw through me."
President Barn did not feel embarrassed.
"In the current world, there is prejudice against mixed-blood children; pushing policies in this area faces some resistance, but if there is the backing of you, who saved the planet, and the Nappa Star Group, much of that resistance will disappear on its own; Mr. Broly, I hope you do not blame me for wanting to utilize your and the Nappa Star Group's influence."
Broly agreed, but also left word that after leaving Leka Star, he might still return to check on the situation of the Mixed-Blood Love Subsidy Program named after himself and Nappa Star.
"Cila, let's go back to Nappa Star."
"Mm."
In the latter half of Age 746, the Nappa Star Planet Engine completed its optimization and modification with sufficient material support; Broly brought Cila back to Nappa Star, and accompanying them were two girls who had a relatively good relationship with Cila.
They were Luna, who possessed more Boman characteristics, and Mace, who possessed more Laika characteristics; both were willing to leave the planet where they had grown up for Cila's sake.
"Cila, you must not misunderstand; I am not going with you because I am worried about you, I simply want to go to an alien planet to search for a better future partner."
This person Luna felt somewhat tsundere; clearly she chose to follow along because she was worried about her friend's situation, but she denied it with her mouth.
As for Mace, she was simply young in age, somewhat dependent on Cila, who always cared for her like an older sister.
When Nappa Star set sail again, it had gained four additional starships, as well as many Leka Star specialty supplies.
Of course, there were also three mixed-blood girls from the immigrant planet 【Leka Star】.
Broly's life re-entered the routine of martial cultivation and mobile charging.
Only each day gained one more item: the arrangement to accompany Cila in playing.
In the void of the universe, the Nappa Star with its optimized engine system sped at extreme velocity toward a transfer planet said to be well-informed.
But before that, Broly's Spacetime Energy Slot filled up, meaning it was time to initiate a new cross-world traversal.
