Chapter 745: The Hunter's Show-off Incident

In a dormitory of the logistics base on Imperial Capital Planet No. 43.

The cramped dormitory was constructed of dull grey metal, a four-person room with bunk beds. The air was filled with the smell of oil and a faint stench.

The holographic projection on the wall flickered constantly, seemingly having some malfunctions.

"The Hunter? It really is a nice title, but I'm still used to calling you Boss Zeth..." a slightly pale-haired Middle-Aged Man sighed with emotion.

Both of his legs were Mechanical Prostheses. Mechanical Prostheses were very different from Mechanical Cyborgs; Mechanical Prostheses provided no auxiliary combat power and were only used to assist movement.

"Frost, we haven't seen each other for five or six years, right..." The Hunter pinched a can of alcoholic beverage, downing it in one gulp, somewhat sighing with emotion.

"Over six years..." Frost smiled.

"It's already been so long..." The Hunter shook his head and sighed lightly. The two clinked bottles and downed their drinks in one gulp.

"I've implicated you. After all these years, you're still a basic mechanic." The Hunter's emotions were complex.

Although it was quite a severe injury, in the Interstellar Era it wasn't considered much. After undergoing Cybernetic Enhancement, he could return to the battlefield.

But right at that time, the General Augustus incident occurred, and the entire Augu Fleet was exiled.

Instead, the heavily injured Frost escaped a disaster and was placed in this kind of maintenance base.

Coming to a maintenance base was considered logistics, so it should be very lucrative.

But he was just a low-level mechanic, having nothing to do with lucrative perks.

"So many years have passed, it doesn't matter..." Frost didn't care at all, saying: "If you hadn't secretly sent me some Star Coins back then, I wouldn't have even been able to install Mechanical Prostheses."

The Hunter shook his head. Frost had saved his life. Even after so many years, he still kept it in his heart, which was why he specifically came over to visit.

Just a pair of Mechanical Prostheses was far from enough to repay this favor.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet. You should still be on the Star Glory Empire's entry blacklist, right? How did you get here?" Frost asked somewhat curiously.

"Are the gate guards so easy to talk to, or has there been some new development in General Augustus's case?"

The Hunter's eyes flickered. How did he get in here? There were specialized personnel in charge of all matters regarding the Dragon Sovereign and his entourage. With just a notification from him, his path was naturally completely unimpeded.

As for General Augustus's case, if he used Li Yu's influence, he could completely clear General Augustus's name.

But the key to the problem was, what was the point of doing that?

Back then, General Augustus indeed disobeyed orders.

Although subjectively The Hunter leaned towards General Augustus, it couldn't change the fact that the Star Glory Empire acted according to the rules back then.

In a sense, it was General Augustus who implicated the entire fleet.

Although The Hunter didn't have any resentment, many others in the Augu Fleet had plenty of resentment.

He had absolutely no motive to dig up this old case. As for doing it for the other people in the Augu Fleet, that was even more nonsensical.

Although his relationship with some people was indeed not bad back then, so many years had passed, and years of interstellar wandering life had changed many people beyond recognition.

Some people had indeed made a name for themselves. Having learned from certain information channels that he was following the Dragon Sovereign, they had contacted him multiple times.

He Know full well what those people were thinking and completely ignored them.

He shook his head and said: "It's all in the past, let's not bring up past events anymore."

"By the way, how is your son? I remember he was still a little baby back then." The Hunter changed the topic and asked.

Frost smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Currently living with his Mother in the Lebus Star System..."

"Lebus Star System? That seems to be your Homeworld, right? Why didn't you..." The Hunter originally wanted to ask why he didn't stay here, but he paused.

After all, this was the Imperial Capital. Both prices and housing costs were absurdly high.

Although Frost was a low-level mechanic, he at least had a dormitory here. The cost of living wasn't high, and he could completely send his salary back.

The Hunter pursed his lips. Since wandering In interstellar space, he rarely felt guilty towards anyone.

But towards Frost in front of him, he always felt a sliver of guilt.

"Hey... Mechanical Legs... I have some things to do this afternoon, help me go to hangar number two to repair a Flying Vehicle..." A slightly frivolous voice came over. A young man walked into the room, and before he finished speaking, he saw The Hunter and immediately said somewhat surprised:

"This is your Friend? You Old geezer still have friends?"

The Hunter's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at this young man.

The young man sized up The Hunter and found that his attire was quite old-fashioned, like an old-school interstellar adventurer only seen in TV dramas, even wearing a Cowboy Hat, tsk tsk...

Seeing The Hunter's unfriendly expression, Frost hurriedly introduced: "This is Kai Sang, he can be considered my apprentice."

"Who's your apprentice, it's just in name..." Kai Sang rolled his eyes.

Frost smiled awkwardly. The Hunter's gaze fell on Kai Sang, and for some reason, it inexplicably made this young man feel somewhat chilled all over.

However, he didn't mind either, casually sitting on the bed and sighing: "Sigh, the Interstellar United Conference is convening, the outside is all under martial law, places to find fun are all closed, it's really boring..."

Because of Kai Sang's appearance, it interrupted The Hunter and Frost's reminiscing.

Kai Sang acted as if he hadn't noticed that his appearance made the atmosphere weird, instead pointing at the Holographic Screen and saying: "Hey, Dragon Sovereign!"

The Hunter looked at the Holographic Screen, which was temporarily muted, not knowing what was being said.

But what was playing was clearly the scene of the Dragon Sovereign entering the venue.

"Sigh... it's all this guy's fault, me and a few friends almost fell out." He said to himself.

"Those Bastards actually worship this person who brought shame to the Empire."

"Although he is pretty awesome, our stances are different. How can we worship him just because he's awesome."

Frost glanced at it, shook his head and said: "The Empire has already eased tensions with him, what are you angry about?"

Kai Sang mumbled for a while, not knowing what he was saying.

The Hunter pondered for a moment and said: "Frost, are you used to living in this Base?"

"It's alright, after all, it's been so many years..." Frost was somewhat puzzled, not knowing why The Hunter suddenly asked this.

"Interested in being the Base manager?" The Hunter continued.

"Ah?" Frost was somewhat stunned, haven't reacted yet.

Kai Sang, on the other hand, bounced up from the bed, his eyes widened looking at The Hunter, and then suddenly burst into loud laughter: "I say, uncle, don't joke around."

"Mechanical Legs is only a level-one mechanic. Do you know there are still workshop directors and deputy directors above him, branch managers and deputy managers, various management levels..."

"Do you know how many levels he needs to jump in succession if he wants to be the Base manager?"

Kai Sang didn't expect to see a bragging guy today. He then looked at Frost again and teased:

"Is this guy your Friend? He won't ask you to fork out Star Coins to bribe people later, will he? Don't get scammed, otherwise your son will have nothing to eat next month."

The Hunter's reaction was very plain. He merely opened his Smart Terminal and said to someone: "Have all the management heads of the Balrosa Maintenance Base come see me."

"No problem, Your Excellency Hunter." A plain reply came from the other side, as if this matter was just a trivial thing to him.

Kai Sang's brow twitched. He felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity in his heart, but reason made it hard for him to believe.

Frost's originally Withered heart, however, rose with a bit of fiery passion. He knew The Hunter's past. Since the other party could appear openly in the Imperial Capital,

That definitely meant the troubles on his body had already been erased by him. Perhaps he really could pull him out of this quagmire.

Subsequently, something that left Kai Sang dumbfounded happened. In less than ten minutes, this small room was packed full.

"Your Excellency, I am the head of the Balrosa Maintenance Base. I heard you wanted to see me." The guy at the front was sweating profusely, saying in a low voice.

And Kai Sang was looking at a short figure in the crowd. That was his father, the manager of the engine maintenance and debugging department, who was continuously shooting him glances.

Only at this moment did he realize that this seemingly plain-looking guy was a true big shot.

"This is my Friend, he wants to sit in your position, any problems?" The Hunter looked at the Base head.

The Base head was somewhat astonished and still didn't understand the reason. He only received a notice from above saying a big shot wanted to see him.

"Absolutely no problem..." A Middle-Aged Man walked in. It was a Senior Official of the Imperial Capital.

"The letter of appointment has already been drafted. Your Excellency Frost, as long as you sign it, you are the manager of this Base."

"As for you, Lord Ledi, you will be transferred to the Nabus Military Base to serve as the head."

Ledi blanked for a moment, a trace of ecstasy surfacing in his eyes. The status of a Military Base head was much higher than that of a maintenance base head.

He was more than happy for this.

"Your Excellency Frost, hurry... hurry and sign. Once you sign, this Base is yours..." Ledi looked at Frost Impatiently.

And Frost felt a dreamlike sensation. The people around him were all figures he usually couldn't hope to reach.

Even that workshop director standing in the corner, continuously shivering. Usually, Frost wouldn't even dare to raise his head when talking to him.

Kai Sang's throat bobbed, his expression looking somewhat pale.

Everyone was waiting for Frost's response. A moment later, Frost's hand trembled as he reached for The Hunter, saying in a low voice: "Can you let me think about it carefully..."

Visible disappointment showed in Ledi's eyes, but he couldn't exactly force Frost's hand to sign either.

"No problem. You all can leave first, sorry for the disturbance." The Hunter waved his hand. Only then did Ledi leave, turning his head back with every step.

"Wait, that Kai Sang..." The Hunter suddenly spoke again, making Kai Sang's heart suddenly jump to his throat. He could only force a smile and turn his head back.

"Does he often bully you?" The Hunter asked Frost.

"Bully?" Frost hadn't recovered from the dream just now before he heard this question.

Kai Sang looked at him with a pleading face. Only then did Frost react, hurriedly explaining: "No, no, you misunderstood..."

"Kai Sang usually often helps me. You might not know, a part of our salary calculation is based on the quantity of repairs."

"When I help Kai Sang with repairs, he gives me his portion of the Star Coins. I know he does this because he sees that things aren't easy for me."

"Although his mouth is a bit poisonous, he's considered a good person."

Kai Sang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect his superficial tsundere attitude was actually seen through.

"Oh..." The Hunter was somewhat surprised, then said: "Since that's the case, then forget it, you can go."

The crowd waited outside, no one knowing what the two inside were talking about. Kai Sang was somewhat dazed, not expecting the usually Simple-minded and dutiful Frost to actually have this kind of Friend.

After a long time, The Hunter walked out. The Senior Official of unknown rank went up to him, asking: "What does he say?"

"Arrange a position for him on his Homeworld, doesn't need to be high or low, he doesn't want to stay in the Imperial Capital anymore," The Hunter said.

"No problem..." That Senior Official recorded it down.

Ledi sighed deeply, but also didn't dare to say anything.

Subsequently, The Hunter and the Senior Official left. No one knew his Identity, they could only hear the faint conversation between the two.

"...Star System Governor might be somewhat troublesome, requires layers of approval, the time is a bit long..."

"...I said it doesn't need to be high, just High Echelon of any random department... doesn't need to be promoted in the future either."

"I understand..."

The crowd behind listened to the increasingly distant conversation, a hint of envy couldn't help but flow in their eyes.

Such an opportunity, they probably wouldn't encounter it in a lifetime.

Li Yu, situated in the venue, naturally didn't know about The Hunter's show-off incident.

He only felt that this conference was so boring. It was basically the Major Civilizations accusing each other of shamelessness and pointing fingers at each other for being rogues.

And then they discussed the Cure-All Slave Trade, as well as the recently risen issue of racial discrimination, and everyone shouted and fought for a while.

Anyway, as long as these two issues existed, all other issues would be covered up.

If these two issues were really solved, who knows how many problems would pop up. It was better to continue Appeasement like this.

You're good, I'm good, everyone is good.

As a special guest, he naturally also needed to give a speech. He mainly just blabbered on according to the script, and then Sit Back and Watch.

This conference would last for a long time, but Li Yu would only attend the first day.

Under normal circumstances, after the first day's conference ended, most attending Political Leaders would accept interviews, mainly asking about some interstellar development situations and the like.

But this time, it was quite different. Because all the interviewing reporters surged in front of Li Yu, eagerly waiting to interview him. As for the other Political Leaders, they were all ignored.
