Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

The competition has already begun.

I thought the promotion matches would be the highlight; I didn't expect the preliminaries to already nearly beat our brains out.

Competitors from every galaxy brought their hometowns' hopes; no one would yield to anyone.

"Tell my mother! I'm no coward!"

"You mean I'm the coward!?"

In the stands, March 7th watched the two competitors on the field.

They didn't even use Path abilities, shed their armor, threw away their weapons, just grabbed each other's heads and traded punches to the face, one after another.

"Do those two... have a grudge?" March 7th swallowed hard.

Would the opponent she has to face next be like this too?

She remembered her opponent is a Memokeeper.

Ever since she heard Sunday finish analyzing the deep logic of this tournament.

Grudges repaid, wrongs avenged.

She couldn't help muttering to herself: would she end up doing something excessive to that Memokeeper?

Dan Heng glanced down at the documents, then started explaining to her.

"Judging by the documents, they do indeed have a grudge. Their homelands are opposed — one suffered a supernova strike, the other a blitzkrieg raid."

Pearl Island Orphan VS Hiroshima Survivor.

"But you don't need to worry. People with blood feuds that deep are rare." Dan Heng comforted March 7th with a sentence.

"Okay... hope there's really nothing between me and the Memokeeper."

March 7th patted her chest, trying hard to shake that thought out of her head.

Chang Ye Yue: Hard to say.

March 7th suddenly remembered Dan Heng's opponent, turned and asked:

"Right, Dan Heng, I remember your opponent is Ren. You two really don't... don't have that... between you?"

".... Mm." Dan Heng nodded slightly, "Ren and I don't have a grudge, just can't stand the sight of each other."

"Huh? You and Ren Shu can't stand each other?" Xing leaned over from the side, looking skeptical, "But I remember you two get along really well."

Xing started counting on her fingers:

Dan Heng goes to the toilet, Ren waits outside;

Dan Heng showers, Ren guards the bathroom door;

Dan Heng eats, Ren even adds food to his bowl.

However you look at it, that's an extremely good relationship.

Dan Heng forced down a disgusted expression, the veins at his temples bulged slightly, then he pressed them back down.

The relationship really is good, but good in a twisted way.

Back when he had just logged into the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, before he officially became the Shen Wu Dragon Venerable, Ren chased him for half the Xian Zhou with that Shili Sword.

After he finally became Dragon Venerable, Ren did it every single day without fail.

6 AM sharp, appearing at the Chi Ming Zu Di, on the pretext of waking him up, showing him around Shen Wu.

Actually what Ren was looking for was a legitimate excuse to wait for him to lose his temper first, then cross blades.

"Our situation is complicated."

Dan Heng expressionlessly shifted the topic off himself, precisely tossing out a big pie.

"Xing, you'd better think about how to ascend to the Xing Fei position."

"Hehe~~ I'm not there yet~"

Xing scratched her head embarrassedly, then threw an arm around Dan Heng's shoulder, "Good brother! Remember to back me when the time comes."

".... Okay." Dan Heng nodded.

He had already calculated it in his heart.

If Xing really tries to usurp Xing Xiao's Xing Fei throne, he'll stand on Xing's side, and drag Ren along too.

Good brothers, for life, die together if we die.

March 7th merely smiled faintly, didn't insert herself into this topic.

Between her and Xuan Ge, there's some indescribable relationship; she hasn't figured out how to explain it to others yet.

And Chang Ye Yue, quietly observing inside her, seeing March 7th finally awaken, felt the heart she'd had suspended for who knows how long finally settle securely.

Not in vain did she dig up those little secrets day after day, feeding them to March 7th one by one.

"I'm back."

Sunday's voice came from the far end of the corridor.

Xing stood up immediately: "How was it, Lao Ri? How did the debate go?"

Sunday sat down beside Xing, caught his breath, then spoke:

"His homeland is being squeezed dry by the Company. He came to the Star Sky Martial Arts Tournament to make people see the Company's true face."

"Sounds like the Market Expansion Department's doing." Dan Heng crossed his arms, brows furrowing slightly.

"Yes." Sunday nodded, the small wings on the back of his head fanning lightly once.

「There's a special kind of ore in their hometown. The Market Expansion Department took a liking to it, paid locals to mine it, and then bought it back from them. 」

「This approach looks good on the surface, but the locals' effort and return are nowhere near proportional, and over time, they developed the notion that 'the ore belongs to the company anyway.'」

「So what was your debate with him? 」March 7th leaned forward.

「I took him to meet my Uncle. 」Sunday smiled.

「My win or loss doesn't matter. I fell from the sky and wanted to see the suffering of this world with my own eyes, measuring the distance of the earth with my feet. 」

「Hahaha——I didn't expect you to be this ruthless, Lao Ri. 」Xing slapped Sunday on the shoulder.

「I thought you would persuade him, using willpower to awaken people's resistance——I didn't expect you to just use a nuclear bomb to put out the fire! 」

「No choice, after all, this is what my Uncle taught me. 」Sunday shrugged, carrying a hint of righteous indignation.

「My Uncle can do anything. Moreover, Great Unity is not a bad kind of peaceful prosperous age. 」

「Sigh——those people from that company, surely Xuan Ge has already summoned them by now, right. 」

March 7th glanced at the viewing room on the high platform to the north, supported by a coiled giant dragon.

Dan Heng followed her gaze and glanced over, his voice flat: 「Based on my understanding of Xuan Ge——he should have already met with the company people by now. 」

Inside Xuan Ge's viewing room.

「Linden Scott, right. 」

Xuan Ge rested his right hand on the armrest of the Dragon Throne, his fingertip tapping the dragon head carving one by one, his gaze falling on the stiffly standing man below.

「Yes, Your Majesty. I am. 」

Scott crossed his hands in front of him, immediately saluted, his voice still fairly steady.

「Interstellar Peace Corporation. Peace Corporation. Corporation. 」

Every time Xuan Ge tapped his finger, Scott felt as if every stroke of his name was being carved, stroke by stroke, onto an invisible Death Register.

「What do you think of the farce on the arena just now? 」Xuan Ge tilted his head, his gaze falling on the person beside him, 「And you, what do you think? 」

「My suggestion is——the company should just go bankrupt as soon as possible. 」

Feicui's expression didn't change, and she spoke boldly.

Anyway, she had already been sold by Diamond to Xuan Ge, so now there was nothing she couldn't say.

「.... Ah? 」Scott was stunned.

He had been waiting for Boss Feicui to speak up and smooth things over, but didn't expect Feicui to directly detonate the landmine.

「Your Majesty, one Sha Jin isn't enough——」Feicui stepped to Xuan Ge's side, 「I also have the ability.... 」

She leaned slightly, moving close to Xuan Ge's ear, her voice charming and seductive: 「I can also make your Small Treasury full to the brim——」

Scott had already started trembling, trembling to the point of being unable to care for himself.

What are you talking about?

What are you doing?

Don't do this!

Is this something a tiny little little character like me can hear!

「Feicui, have you decided? 」Xuan Ge tilted his head to look at the face right in front of him, 「I'm not a good person. Are you willing? 」

「I regret it. 」Feicui stood up straight and sighed.

Scott's pupils suddenly shrank.

Ya mie luo!!

He wanted to hear Xuan Huang say those three words 'get out' to him more than ever before.

He wanted it too much!

「I heard Sha Jin say you like soft, bullyable women. But I don't want to do that. 」

Feicui's voice returned to her usual composure, 「I don't know if Your Majesty is willing? 」

Upon hearing these words, Scott's legs gave out on the spot, his knees hitting the floor tiles.

Did he hear some earth-shattering secret?

Family, can I walk out of this viewing room alive and continue watching the match?

「Why are you kneeling? 」Xuan Ge looked down at him, 「No kneeling. Stand up. 」

「Your.... Your Majesty.... I.... 」Scott's tongue was completely tied.

Feicui glanced at Scott, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly, and did not continue saying those ambiguous words to Xuan Ge.

Anyway, her purpose had already been achieved.

The Market Expansion Department dared not show up, actually sending Scott to take the heat.

Then she would scare this Scott, pressuring him until he started proactively contacting his superior.

As long as Scott contacted his superior, Ao Si Wa Er Duo would inevitably come forward to connect with Xuan Ge.

Then the Strategic Investment Department could take advantage of the situation to swallow part of the Market Expansion Department's territory.

She was just about to withdraw and retreat when her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Feicui was stunned, her whole body being lightly pulled by that force, directly sitting onto the seat of the Dragon Throne.

「Used me and want to run? Where's such a good thing. 」

Hearing these words, Feicui's eyes flashed with a trace of helpless amusement.

Plan succeeded.
