Chapter 602: Exclusive Interview

~12 min read 2,353 words

Having obtained quite a bit of information from Bloodlust, Li Yu was rather satisfied, although some of the information was temporarily useless for now.

At least it had resolved some of the doubts in his heart, preventing a situation where he wouldn't know what happened when things came to a head.

He appropriately released some of Bloodlust's Seals, allowing him to temporarily move his body, although it was difficult to exert the power of this Corporeal Form.

Just as the two were casually chatting, a beautiful figure walked in. Holding a Silver-White Smart Tablet in one hand, she wore a customized Secretary's Uniform. Her chest was bulging, showing she was very well-endowed.

Li Yu's gaze was subconsciously attracted, but then he calmly shifted his eyes away and said, "What's wrong?"

The newcomer was precisely Sinai. The Hunter's execution ability was very high. Realizing that Li Yu had a tendency to boss him around like a Secretary, he immediately pushed Sinai forward.

And Sinai didn't resist this either. She inherently had a low sense of presence, so she was naturally very happy to have something to do now.

She handled matters quite efficiently, and with Claptrap's assistance, nothing would go wrong.

"The people from Voice of the Starry Universe are here. They said they want to interview you." Sinai's voice was gentle and unhurried, much more pleasant to hear than the Hunter's voice.

Sinai smiled gently. How could the other party dare not be quick? With Li Yu's current Status, how could anyone make him wait?

………

A Luxury Spaceship was following guidance and docking in a special port.

This Spaceship had taken a special channel to dock at a dedicated port because the people inside were very unusual.

Many female Staff Members were already waiting at the port, their eyes sparkling with stars as they looked at the arriving Spaceship.

"Dixie, who let you all come here? Don't you know this is neglecting your duty?!" A guard walked over, Muttering Curses.

"Just to see Lord Vissa once, even if I get punished, it's worth it." The woman called Dixie had a lovestruck look in her eyes.

"Tch, it's just an interstellar star, what's so great to look at? He's a sissy." The guard said in an annoyed tone.

"You are not allowed to insult Lord Vissa!" Dixie glared at the guard, Gnashing Her Teeth.

"Since we are from Returning Star, we should worship Duke Li Yu. Can this interstellar star even compare to a single hair of Duke Li Yu?" The guard scolded coldly.

"Lord Vissa is coming out!" Dixie ignored him, instead looking excitedly behind him.

The Luxury Spaceship had finished docking. The Blast Door opened, and a group of people walked out.

Vissa, who was in the lead, had a genial smile on his face, while Dixie and the others had already let out excited screams.

The guard's expression looked awful, believing that the behavior of Dixie and the rest was damaging to Returning Star's reputation.

However, Vissa was a prominent figure with Status, after all. The guard couldn't flare up and could only go forward to greet them with a dark expression.

Bruno's interview team followed behind Vissa; they were precisely the reporters responsible for this interview.

"Lord Vissa's fans really are everywhere, even here," his accompanying Secretary said with Flattery.

"What use is this?" Vissa shook his head, looking at the dark-faced guard approaching, and smiled. "This general seems very angry. Neglecting one's duty is indeed not a good behavior."

The guard froze. He hadn't expected the first sentence from this universally known interstellar star to him to be like this.

"They are all your fans..." The guard said lukewarmly.

"They probably know I made a special trip to interview Your Excellency Li Yu, which is why they are excited," Vissa said softly. "In that case, it seems somewhat excusable."

"Interview Duke Li Yu?" The guard was stunned, an unusual color blooming in his eyes.

Ha, so what if he's an interstellar star? Doesn't he still have to obediently come over to interview Duke Li Yu?

The guard felt somewhat smug in his heart and also grasped Vissa's meaning, whispering, "I will handle them leniently."

Vissa hadn't expected the other party to say it so nakedly, but he still maintained a gentle smile on his face, and then gave autographs to each of these Staff Members.

Just reselling them could earn a huge fortune.

The people traveling with him were already accustomed to this; their boss was exactly this kind of person.

He was almost always thinking of his fans.

However, these people also knew it wasn't because their boss was kind-hearted, but because this had already become a habit of his.

It was precisely because of this habit that their boss's reputation had remained enduring in the Interstellar Society.

Through a dedicated track, they headed to the designated location. Bruno seemed somewhat nervous. "I didn't expect that person to actually agree to the exclusive interview request!"

"It's not like you don't know how much influence our boss has. Of course he can accomplish this kind of thing."

"..."

The accompanying crowd discussed in low voices.

"Keep quiet..." Vissa's voice carried over. He glanced at the surveillance cameras inside the Flying Vehicle and spoke softly.

Hearing this, the crowd immediately stopped talking, their emotions undulating as they waited to meet that major figure.

At the same time, in the room that was already prepared, Li Yu and Klein sat facing each other.

"Why did you come too?" Li Yu was a bit puzzled. He felt Klein's gaze was somewhat fiery, as if she wanted to eat him up.

"Duke Li Yu is so busy, acting like a Divine Dragon Shows Head But Not Tail recently. Can't I take the initiative to come see you?" Klein's voice sounded somewhat resentful.

Li Yu smiled awkwardly. With the battle concluded, he had a ton of matters to handle. How could he have the time to pay attention to Klein?

"I thought you were also a fan of Vissa..." Li Yu changed the subject.

"I used to be..." Klein shook her head. "I just came to remind you that Vissa is not simple."

"It's best not to offend him easily."

"Oh?" Li Yu was slightly surprised. Klein actually made a special trip just to remind him of this.

"His prestige in the Interstellar Society is very high. Although your Strength is great, you can't silence everyone. Unless you really don't care, offending Vissa will cause many people to curse you," Klein explained.

"However, he has always been on good terms with big shots. As long as you don't go overboard, he won't offend you either."

Li Yu hadn't investigated Vissa carefully. He had agreed to this exclusive interview because Mermaid Princess had specifically sought him out.

The last time he saved Mo Duo, it was exactly Vissa who helped her handle some loose ends, so he agreed to this exclusive interview.

But thinking about it carefully, someone who could pull strings within the Star Glory Empire and escape unscathed was definitely not simple.

This actually piqued his interest.

"Empress, the people have arrived." Someone pushed the door open to report, and then a group of people walked into the room.

One person among them instantly caught Li Yu's attention. He had an extremely strong sense of presence; his exterior was delicate yet not lacking in toughness, and a faint smile always hung on his face.

Undoubtedly, he was Vissa.

And the very first moment Li Yu saw him, he had a feeling that this guy was very strong.

He didn't know where this feeling came from; perhaps it was the intuition of the Royal Blood Titan.

But what circulated in the Interstellar Society was only Vissa's heavenly voice; no one had ever thought Vissa possessed strong Strength.

Everyone considered him a vase. Although he had extraordinary prestige, he didn't pose much of a threat.

Interesting... Li Yu's eyes flashed slightly...

"Empress Klein, I didn't expect you to be here as well." Vissa performed a standard Returning Star Noble etiquette, and then looked at Li Yu. "Duke Li Yu's heroic bearing is far more stunning than in the photos."

This person's Flattery skills had reached Consummate skill. The others behind him stood silently in the room, secretly observing the two people in front of them.

"Lord Vissa, you as well." Klein acted very plain and said, "I'll leave this to you guys. I'll take my leave first."

She didn't drag her feet at all, leaving cleanly and leaving the place to Li Yu and the others.

Meanwhile, the other people in the room thought of some Gossip News circulating in the Interstellar Society—the unspeakable secrets between Duke Li Yu and his Empress.

Looking at the posture before them, the relationship between the two was indeed unusual. There really was no smoke without fire, the crowd muttered inwardly, but they didn't dare stare too much.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Li Yu also acted very affably, inviting the crowd to sit.

Aside from Vissa, who calmly found a place to sit, the others were somewhat restrained and stiff, even fidgeting restlessly.

Their gazes toward Li Yu also carried reverence and Apprehension.

"I've also been fascinated by Lord Vissa for a long time. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to your reputation," Li Yu smiled.

"Haha, it's all just empty fame. It can't compare to the reputation you've fought for with your own two hands." Vissa seemed to receive it very well, yet waved his hand.

He perfectly performed the demeanor of being excited to receive praise from a big shot.

The two flattered each other for a few sentences, and Li Yu gained a general understanding of Vissa. This was a person who had a mask welded to his face.

Everything he displayed was exactly what he wanted others to know.

"Right, I heard that the picture of Nine Dragons Suppressing the Star of mine was also taken by your people," Li Yu said casually.

"That's correct..." Vissa nodded, pointing to the few people behind him. "Bruno, Chekhov, and Gary—it was the three of them who recorded your heroic bearing amidst the battlefield."

Vissa didn't mention the risks they took, nor did he mention that due to the aftermath of the battlefield, many reporters died in that battle.

"It's quite good-looking," Li Yu nodded.

Hearing this sentence, the faces of Bruno and the other two instantly flushed red with excitement, even becoming a bit flustered. After a moment, Chekhov stammered, "As... as long as you're satisfied."

"Then let's begin the exclusive interview." Li Yu had no interest in talking more with Vissa, this Masked Man. Although this guy seemed to hide astonishing Strength, it had nothing to do with him.

"Alright... these are the questions. See if there's anything you want to change." Bruno brought up the interview script and carefully handed it to Li Yu.

Li Yu roughly glanced over it. They were all very standard questions.

Such as his growth journey, some memorable events encountered during his growth, or some key factors that prompted his transformation.

And also what kind of sense of responsibility he had towards the Interstellar Society, blah blah blah.

In short, it was all empty, grandiose talk.

The significance of the exclusive interview was that Voice of the Starry Universe needed this interview to elevate its Interstellar status.

To tell other Interstellar Media outlets: 'The person you can't interview, I can. Awesome, right?'

For Li Yu, it was to slightly repay a favor, then improve his positive image, and perhaps gain a few more Believers.

These questions were all meant to fool the ordinary Interstellar Citizens.

After all, no one would mention the innocent people affected during some of the battles in an exclusive interview.

The cameras were set up, and the interview process officially began.

For Bruno and the other two, this exclusive interview with Li Yu would be a momentous experience in their journalistic careers.

However, before coming here, they had already signed a century-long employment contract with Voice of the Starry Universe, with extremely generous compensation.

But the Breach of Contract Penalty was equally astonishing, otherwise Voice of the Starry Universe wouldn't have let them host this exclusive interview.

The process went quickly. For about half an hour, various questions proceeded in an orderly manner.

"...The experience on Heavenly Desolation Star benefited me greatly, letting me know how hard the Interstellar Bottom-Tier Citizens work..."

"...Yes, interstellar hegemonism is very detrimental to the development of the Interstellar Society. Some powerful civilizations don't contribute to the development of the Interstellar Society, but instead only seek to gain benefits. This is wrong..."

"...Sigh, Strength must be put into shackles. Even the most powerful lifeform cannot act unscrupulously!"

"..."

Even the old Masked Man Vissa, watching Li Yu answer fluently, couldn't help but stare blankly.

This kid couldn't go three sentences without mentioning the bottom-tier citizens, and every two sentences he'd bring up the development of the Interstellar Society. Every now and then, he'd mention restricting powerful lifeforms. His awareness was even higher than his own.

Originally, he thought Li Yu would say some unrestrained words; some powerful lifeforms all had this flaw.

Believing that ordinary Interstellar Citizens were completely not of the same species as them, acting high and mighty.

He didn't expect this guy to be so good at putting on an act, adopting a facade of being willing to shed blood and sacrifice his life for the stability and peace of the Interstellar Society.

As expected, reaching this stage at such a young age, he was certainly not a Simple-minded person.

Vissa's main purpose in coming this time was just to meet Li Yu. At least up until now, Li Yu hadn't disappointed him.

"Finally, is there anything you want to say to your admirers?"

Li Yu paused, his face turning serious as he said, "I am a kind person, so I hope you can also become kind people, and be people useful to the Interstellar Society."

Vissa couldn't help but close his eyes, somewhat speechless.
