Chapter 269: Titus's Invitation

Looking at Li Yu's growth history that could be found, it could basically be summarized in four words—Ruthless, driven by profit!

Whether it was directly choosing to kidnap an Imperial Noble to seek a way out on Heavenly Desolation Star, or the massive destruction he caused in No Man's Land.

And his subsequent tracks of activity that could be found, all were accompanied by a reign of terror and bloodshed.

When he became an A-Tier Lifeform and completely stepped into the eyes of the Gui Xing High Command, this information was no longer a secret.

His growth speed was staggering and aroused many people's curiosity, but basically everyone believed this would be a sharp sword.

At the same time... no one associated him with the word "Loyalty".

A-Tier... Klein as a stepping stone had already given him the greatest help. Throwing himself into Titus's embrace in time now was the correct solution.

Even if Li Yu abandoned Klein, no one would scoff at him; it was nothing more than interests.

But exactly the opposite, this guy refused, which surprised many people.

The greatest interest Klein had might be her Identity as Princess. If he could really marry into the Return Star Royalty, it would indeed be much more promising than joining Titus.

Unfortunately... if Li Yu really had this intention, there would be many people waiting to watch a joke. A royal Scandal... hadn't appeared for a very long time.

Information written on paper made it difficult for them to truly understand Li Yu. Perhaps Hunter understood Li Yu slightly, and Mo Duo understood him a bit more.

As for others... Li Yu could only respond with a chuckle.

Sending off Max and Edwin, the two mainly came to inform him in advance of Digor's summons.

And according to what Max said, the review progress of the Meteor Fleet was already over halfway done, and temporarily no issues had been found. It would be concluded in about three days.

And the time Digor summoned him was at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon. In the morning, Digor would give a video speech to the Citizens of the entire Return Star.

To give explanations regarding the recently frequent violent incidents in Return Star and the Xinhuo Virus issue, and at the same time, issue Bounties then.

Li Yu pondered for quite a while and found a few photos of Digor on the Interstellar Network. The appearance of this Return Star ruler was very dignified.

After going through the possible conversations, Li Yu finally remembered to reply to Kansa's message. Since he was idle anyway, he could see what major event had happened in Amethyst.

"Amethyst is going to have a schism war..." Kansa's words indeed made Li Yu's Heart Skipped a Beat.

"Schism war?" He repeated these words, rubbing his chin, his expression a bit strange, sizing up Kansa: "It couldn't be caused by you, could it?"

"Let me clarify first, I temporarily don't have the ability to participate in such major events, don't think about making me provide you help."

Are you kidding... Amethyst was at least a large Civilization supported by the Star Glory Empire, with a Territory spanning dozens of Star Systems and extremely strong comprehensive Strength.

Kansa: "..."

He was somewhat Speechless and explained: "I also wish... but how could I have this kind of Strength? It's Prince Saster."

Only then did Li Yu realize, and couldn't help but laugh: "I thought your Anti-Discrimination Movement caused trouble."

Kansa seemed to Hesitate to Speak, his expression complex... This made Li Yu's eyes widen slightly, having a guess: "It couldn't be related to the Anti-Discrimination Movement, could it?"

"Yes..." Kansa said helplessly: "Because the Amethyst Core was intercepted by Saster, the Radiation Project has been delayed in starting."

"Coupled with the Anti-Discrimination Movement growing more and more intense, and unknown factions adding fuel to the fire."

This matter was originally Kansa's life-saving talisman, but later it became more and more out of his control. Even he himself was swept into it and found it difficult to extract himself.

Amethyst's Radiation Project was to make the entire Amethyst race evolve into a species with Amethysts on their foreheads.

But this required the help of the Amethyst Core, and Saster intercepted the ore core.

He said, Gnashing His Teeth: "Seven days ago... Prince Saster declared that he had removed the Amethyst on his forehead, becoming a true 'Amethyst Person', and initiated a liberation movement demanding the removal of forehead Amethysts."

"This directly detonated Public Opinion. Now many people are demanding that I also remove my forehead Amethyst."

"Is the Star Glory Empire not reacting to this?" Li Yu was somewhat confused: "A divided Amethyst shouldn't be what the Star Glory Empire expects."

"Perhaps not in the past..." Kansa shook his head and sighed: "But now, with the growth of Amethyst, the High Echelon has dissenting thoughts. The Star Glory Empire has expressed dissatisfaction many times, but the High Echelon believes that given the current Interstellar situation, it's impossible for the Empire to attack them."

"Moreover, external factions have now entered the field, and it's very likely to develop in an unpredictable direction in the end."

Although today's Interstellar situation seemed peaceful on the surface, beneath the water, various clashes were continuous. Top-tier Civilizations were like sharks roaming around; wherever there was meat to eat, they would swarm up.

Dividing Amethyst, the benefits it could bring were massive, no one could resist.

"Then this is interesting..." Li Yu was happy to see this happen. Whether it was towards Amethyst or Prince Saster, he had no good feelings. If it splits, so be it.

Kansa's eyes flickered. Li Yu stared at Kansa on the screen and joked slightly: "You contacting me isn't because you want me to enter the field, is it?"

"With my small frame going in, I'm afraid I'll be crushed until not even dregs remain."

Kansa shook his head. He wasn't that stupid, even though Li Yu was a prominent figure on the Return Star network some time ago.

But how could he not know? Although a reputation on the Interstellar Network was useful, it wasn't big enough to defy the heavens.

Amethyst was also considered a behemoth. If individual Strength hadn't reached a certain level, it certainly wouldn't have any effect.

"If I travel to Return Star, I hope you can protect me." Kansa's words exceeded Li Yu's expectations; he was looking for a way out.

The situation in Amethyst has actually deteriorated to this extent. Li Yu's eyes flickered... but come to think of it, it should be so.

The backer Star Glory Empire Turn a Blind Eye, various factions began to stir up trouble, Saster directly jumped out as a wolf, taking the lead to charge, turning it directly into a pot of porridge.

"I can bring quite a few resources..." Kansa hinted. Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled: "We are all Friends, just treat Return Star as your home when the time comes."

Kansa held back his next words in his stomach. If one didn't know better, they would think it was Digor talking to him.

Hanging up the communication, Hunter, who was committing slow suicide, raised his eyelids and glanced over: "This kid actually trusts you so much."

His own home might be finished, and the way out Kansa looked for was actually Li Yu, enough to prove his trust in Li Yu.

"I saved him after all, isn't it normal for him to trust me?" Li Yu lay down on the Advanced Massage Chair next to him and continued: "What do you think of Amethyst?"

Hunter changed to a comfortable posture, covered his head with his Cowboy Hat, and lazily said: "Standard operation of the Star Glory Empire, suppressing disobedient dogs. In the end, the Empire will intervene and quell the dispute, it's just that Amethyst should be in a pretty miserable state by then."

"So that means Amethyst won't split..." Li Yu's body rose and fell with the massage chair from time to time.

"Probably not..." Hunter pondered for a moment and said: "If no major accidents happen, it just depends on how many resources those factions can plunder."

Hunter was, after all, from the Star Glory Empire's advanced fleet, and was very familiar with many of the Empire's operations.

"...In the past, what kind of factions would get involved in this sort of thing?" Li Yu was somewhat curious.

"Too many..." Hunter lifted the Cowboy Hat covering his face, wondering if he would be suffocated by the smell of his own hair oil.

"Return Star... Spirit User... Holivias... even the Reformers... and a large number of civilian factions..." Hunter briefly mentioned a few factions, the former being three of the four founding civilizations of the Civilization Alliance.

As for the last founding civilization, it was currently quite miserable and didn't have the ability to intervene.

When a Whale Falls, All Things Grow, let alone a large civilization like Amethyst.

Hunter sighed slightly: "The so-called Universe is pretty much the same as the Junkyard on our Heavenly Desolation Star. As long as any sign of decline is shown, a large number of hyenas will swarm up."

"This saying..." Li Yu's expression was strange. He sized up Hunter from top to bottom and exclaimed: "It's quite philosophical. I thought you lying down every day was just committing slow suicide."

Putting the Cowboy Hat back on his head, Hunter was extremely Speechless, refused to communicate, and resumed his slow suicide.

Li Yu originally planned to lie there until tomorrow, experiencing the feeling of slow suicide, but unfortunately, Klein's call interrupted his plan.

"Your Highness..." Li Yu revealed a gentle smile. Looking at the screen in front of him, Klein was sitting on a luxurious chair with nothing in front of her, her crossed long legs entering his sight.

Slender, fair fingers propped her chin, her gaze seeming to look down at Li Yu, full of Queenly demeanor.

How come this woman's aura is becoming more and more different? Li Yu muttered secretly. He remembered the first time he saw Klein, she still looked like the girl next door.

Her voice was somewhat languid, seemingly asking casually: "Why didn't you tell me when you came out of the Experimental Base?"

"I was just about to tell you." Li Yu's expression didn't change, while Hunter cast a look of disdain.

A faint light flashed in Klein's eyes, and she seemed to snort coldly, her voice extremely low. If Li Yu hadn't become an A-Tier Lifeform, he really might not have been able to feel it.

"Accompany me somewhere tomorrow..." Klein's tone carried unquestionability, and perhaps a little emotion?

"Tomorrow I have to meet Majesty Digor," Li Yu frowned.

"My matter is in the morning, you're meeting Father in the afternoon." Klein obviously knew about this too, seeing through Li Yu's evasion tactic.

"This..." Li Yu seemed somewhat troubled: "Where to?"

"Titus's banquet!" Klein's tone was somewhat cold.

Li Yu's heart suddenly jumped, staring at Klein's exquisite face. This woman wouldn't go smash the venue out of anger because I was poached, would she?

I heard Titus has many fierce subordinates under him, can I hold them off alone?

"Have you looked enough?" Klein's tone didn't reveal any emotion.

Automatically ignoring these two sentences, Li Yu asked: "Your Highness, what are you going to Titus's banquet for?"

Klein's tone sank slightly: "Titus's invitation, of course. This eldest brother of mine... the words he has spoken to me over the years can be counted on one's fingers. He actually remembered to invite me to his banquet this time."

As long as it's not fighting... Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he refused Titus's invitation, it didn't mean he had to form an enmity with him.

Li Yu paused, then said: "If he invited you, you can just go yourself. Wouldn't it be bad to bring me along?"

A cold smile suddenly appeared at the corners of Klein's mouth. Her gaze sized up Li Yu, her tone inexplicable: "Titus didn't just invite me, he also specifically noted that I bring you along."

So this was the crux... Li Yu suddenly realized. No wonder he kept feeling Klein's mood was a bit weird today.

She should also know about him refusing Deanpodo, yet Titus still invited him. How could Klein be happy about this?

It's just, what did Titus invite him for? Still want to recruit him, is he that sincere? Or does he have other plans.

Klein instructed: "Tomorrow morning, we will go to Titus's Palace together."

Then, she paused, her expression actually appearing somewhat cramped. The contrast between her fair long legs and black dress was extremely strong.

"I... won't treat you unfairly." This sentence was obviously a response to Li Yu refusing Deanpodo.

Klein knew she didn't have the resources to cultivate an A-Tier Lifeform, unless she asked her Mother, but she naturally wasn't willing to ask now.

In her eyes, Li Yu not joining Titus was out of loyalty to her.

Li Yu revealed a genial smile and nodded: "Your Highness, this is what I should do."

Looking at Li Yu's smile, Klein hung up the communication somewhat hurriedly.

"You truly deserve to die..." Hunter couldn't help but sigh.

Poor Klein, Have Someone in the Palm of One's Hand by Li Yu.

Hunter reminded: "Have you thought about what you'll do when Mo Duo wakes up?"

"Klein and I are innocent, you talk so much for a Slacker," Li Yu warned, casually throwing out a Golden Electric Arc.

Causing Hunter to shudder and twitch continuously, though it wasn't lethal.

Amidst Hunter's Muttering Curses, this day gradually passed.

Early the next morning, Li Yu took Klein's Exclusive Vehicle and headed to Titus's Palace.

Six Mechanical Warhorses pulled the Dark Gold Carriage. Complex patterns and Royal Crests were carved on the carriage.

This kind of Exclusive Vehicle belonging to the Imperial Family had an identification Chip Inside, enjoying various privileges here.

Titus's Palace wasn't in the Star Casting Palace, but on a satellite of the Main Planet, enough to show his special Status.

The Mechanical Warhorses spewed blazing light flames, soaring through the sky, accurately avoiding all mid-air Flying Vehicles.

The Interior of the carriage used spatial expansion technology, making the space much larger than it appeared. The anti-gravity Engines on the chassis emitted a faint light.

Li Yu and Klein sat opposite each other. The maid kept her head down in the corner, waiting for orders, and the atmosphere seemed somewhat silent.

Klein wore a luxurious and exquisite long black dress, with golden silk patterns embroidered on the hem.

"Your Highness... what is this banquet mainly for?" Li Yu asked, so he could have an idea in his heart.

"I'm not too sure either..." Klein pondered: "Titus holds this kind of banquet irregularly. Those who can go are all figures with considerable Status in various circles of Return Star, and even envoys from foreign civilizations."

"It is highly sought after in the upper echelons of Return Star. Being able to attend Titus's banquet is almost a symbol of Identity."
