Chapter 465: The Fat Thief
Lu Yuan, Dong Mu, and Dong Lingxue were riding in the same car.
Lu Yuan and Dong Mu continued to chat about the recycling of bismuth metal waste mines, while Dong Lingxue, who looked rebellious, sat beside him and browsed his mobile phone.
Occasionally when Dong Mu talked to her, she would reply impatiently.
As for Lu Yuan, she treated him like air the whole time.
After a twenty-minute drive, the convoy of people slowly stopped near the center of Red Diamond City.
Lu Yuan saw a building that looked like a super huge ruby.
I don’t know what kind of material it is made of, but under the afterglow of the setting sun, the whole body shines with a beautiful luster like a gem.
It looks luxurious and full of mystery.
The building is surrounded by a huge circular square. The square is almost full of various hover cars. They are all quite high-end in appearance, showing that the owners of the hover cars are either rich or noble.
Surrounded by a large number of drones and guards, the scene looked quite grand, not like an ordinary dinner but more like a high-level meeting of leaders from all parties.
Lu Yuan followed Dong Mu out of the car, and a dedicated waiter immediately came to greet them outside the venue, welcoming them into the venue with a smile.
Lu Yuan followed Dong Mu and heard Dong Mu talking to him in a low voice.
"I originally planned to entertain you at home, but a big shot happened to come to Red Diamond City today. It's a rare opportunity. No one in Red Diamond City is willing to miss it. Don't mind, Qiyuan."
"fine."
Lu Yuan shook his head, then made a curious expression and asked: "Uncle Dong, what kind of big shot is it that can make all the dignitaries in the entire Red Diamond City come to this meeting dinner?"
When Dong Mu heard Lu Yuan's question, he smiled slightly and replied: "Master of this planet, do you think this person is big?"
Lu Yuan blinked, and the fat man covered in jewels that he met at the landing point of the spaceship jumped out of his mind and blurted out.
"Lord Gem?"
Dong Lingxue entered the venue, immediately got rid of the people behind her, narrowed her eyes and searched for her familiar figure in the splendid dinner hall.
"Xiaoxue, here."
Someone somewhere down the field waved to Dong Lingxue and called her softly.
Dong Lingxue's eyes lit up, she immediately lifted up her skirt and walked quickly towards the other party's position.
Dong Lingxue walked through half of the front hall and came to two girls who were also dressed up.
"Fortunately you are here too."
Dong Lingxue picked up a glass of beautifully colored juice from the table next to her and took a sip, saying, "Otherwise, I feel like I will be bored to death tonight."
"Xiaoxue, you are so beautiful tonight."
A girl wearing a moon-white dress looked at Dong Lingxue with envy and said.
Dong Lingxue rolled her eyes and quickly moved towards the girl. She leaned close to the girl's cheek and deliberately lowered her voice and said in a rough voice: "Thank you. Baby, you look just as good tonight."
"Hey you..."
The slightly unrestrained laughter caused a small number of people in the banquet hall to look slightly sideways, followed by a stern look.
Dong Lingxue curled her lips and could only restrain herself.
When Dong Mu turned around with a stern face, Dong Lingxue hurriedly glared back at Dong Mu's back.
This small gesture was noticed by a handsome young man in a dark blue suit next to Dong Mu. The latter seemed to find her interesting and smiled at her.
But Dong Lingxue didn't appreciate it at all. She rolled her eyes and looked away.
"What are you pretending to be?"
Dong Lingxue hates people who pretend to be mature the most.
Although she is about the same age as herself, she still insists on acting obedient and sensible, and it is in front of her father, which makes her father always use the other person to educate herself, which is annoying to death.
Dong Lingxue's eye movements and mutterings attracted the attention of another girl in an evening dress next to her. The latter came up and pointed curiously at the young man in the distance and asked: "Xiaoxue, the one who is following your father?" Who is this person? I have never seen him before.
Is it from the circle? He seems pretty handsome."
Dong Lingxue made a long "cut" sound with disdain on her face.
"What a handsome guy.
The son of a friend of my dad’s is from an alien planet.
He said he came here to do business with my father, but actually
Are you just borrowing money from my dad because of your connections?"
On the way here, Dong Lingxue heard the conversation between the two clearly, and she had already made up her mind about some things in her heart.
Upon hearing the words "from aliens" and "borrowing money", the interest of the companion girl suddenly disappeared, and she quickly changed the topic to one side.
While chatting, a girl said with a mysterious face: "Do you guys know who the protagonist is tonight?"
"I know, Lord Gem!"
Another girl answered hurriedly and said with a somewhat excited expression: "I have never met him before. I heard that the assets in his name are enough to buy a hundred planets! I don't know what the real person looks like?"
"It looks the same as the photos online."
Dong Lingxue flipped up her hair in boredom.
She met Lord Gem himself at a large dinner party she attended with Dong Mu a few years ago.
I have known for a long time that aside from the gem-encrusted title, the so-called Lord Gemstone is actually just an ordinary middle-aged fat man, with nothing particularly surprising about him.
In fact, the protagonist tonight is not Lord Gem at all.
Rather, he is the son of a duke who came from afar. He is not only distinguished in status, but also extremely outstanding in all aspects. It is said that he is also a Lingting Guard with a promising future.
This person is a super big shot that even Lord Gem wants to fawn over."
"oh?!"
The girl's words immediately aroused the curiosity of both Dong Lingxue and Dong Lingxue, and they were attracted to her unconsciously.
"arrive."
The large aircraft with a pale white gold surface slowly hovered over the square.
With long hair shawl, a cold face, and a hint of determination and nobility in his brows, Helier stood on the deck of the aircraft, looking at the feasting, jewel-shaped venue below, and the well-dressed people with their heads raised and faces full of expectation. The man turned around and spoke to Lord Gem next to him expressionlessly.
"I remember telling you that I always hate this kind of situation."
"I promise, this is the last time."
The fair and fat Lord Gem had a smile on his face and sighed softly: "Lord Helier doesn't need to do anything, just show up later.
You don’t know how much your presence here will help improve my value and status in the family.”
"This has nothing to do with me."
Helier narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Don't forget why I agreed to come over.
If your promise cannot be fulfilled, I guarantee that what you gain by using me will be lost tenfold and a hundredfold.”
"I see."
Lord Gemstone smiled, and then said: "Actually, it's just a drop-in.
The thing I told you about is within this area.
I will take you there right away."
"You better not lie to me."
Helier spoke calmly.
"Of course, I am willing to swear on the honor of the Will family."
Lord Gem raised his hand, as if he was determined to do so.
"What trouble?"
“There is another group of people who are also eyeing this kind of thing.
I can’t solve it with the power I have now, which is one of the reasons why I asked adults to come and help.”
"Who?"
Helier's brows frowned slightly.
Lord Gem said word by word: "A group of... star thieves."
Hearing the words "Star Thief", Helier's eyes suddenly shot out with two cold gleams.
But it soon faded away.
After a while.
Helier raised his hand to straighten his clothes a little, and said calmly: "Let's go.
As you wish, go down and meet them. "
Lord Gem's eyes lit up, and then he took the initiative to lead Helier in person.
"I knew it."
Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at the two people who were slowly getting off the aircraft.
One of them was the Lingting Guard he met on the way to Lilva Star.
"It is said that he is the son of some Duke, tsk tsk"
Lu Yuan sighed, "He is really a top reincarnation professional who calls for being born with a golden spoon."
As Lord Gemstone and the young Lingting Guard beside him arrived, Lu Yuan saw everyone around him rushing towards the two of them.
Dong Mu was among them.
For a moment, I suddenly felt a little meaningless.
Lu Yuan casually tugged on the collar of his clothes and greeted Lu Feng, who had been following him silently all night.
"Let's go back to the mine."
Lu Feng nodded and asked, "Why don't you say hello to the person named Dong?"
"I'll tell him later."
In the evening, Dong Mu led him to meet several people, including the boss of a large waste mine recycling company.
The purpose of his trip to Red Diamond City was completely and successfully achieved.
In this case, there is no need to stay and waste time.
If it were normal, he might have to think about finding a reason to decline Dong Mu's enthusiastic invitation to stay.
But now that Lord Gemstone has arrived, given Dong Mu's character, the next period should be his busiest period.
He probably couldn't care less about his nephew.
Going now is the best opportunity.
Lu Yuan led Lu Feng, slowly exiting the fast-moving crowd, and then walked towards the outside of the venue.
Before leaving, Lu Yuan noticed that someone seemed to glance in his direction.
He followed back and saw Dong Lingxue in a long skirt hurriedly turning away.
He smiled and ignored it.
Just as Lu Yuan expected.
After he used his personal terminal to tell Dong Mu that something happened at the mining site and he needed to rush back urgently, Dong Mu had almost no intention of staying.
Even when Lu Yuan received his reply message, he was already on his way back.
This round trip took less than a day in total.
What he did could be regarded as completely smoothing Lu Yuan's future promotion path, and Lu Yuan was extremely satisfied.
At night, the Lu's Mine is brightly lit.
In a small white building.
A dozen miners, headed by Woolf, were standing or squatting in the room.
Under the not-so-bright light, a long table was placed in the center of the room. The long table was piled with all kinds of steaming food.
At both ends of the long table, a stout and burly figure sat, engrossed in devouring food.
"Boss, are these two reliable?"
A group of miners watched the two men eating frantically for a long time. A middle-aged man with a sallow complexion standing next to Woolf couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
Woolf shook his head and was about to speak.
"Full!"
Under the pile of food residue, a flat, dark face was raised.
This face was densely covered with scars of different sizes, and under the scars were strips of flesh.
Even though it was full of satisfaction at this time, it still looked particularly ferocious and domineering.
And it was such a fierce face like a butcher, coupled with a body with knotted muscles and thick joints.
The body was more than twice as strong as a normal adult male.
The chest was slightly raised.
It looked like a woman!
"Burp--"
A long burp, accompanied by a frowning smell rising from the stomach, dissipated in the room, and the person at the other end of the long table also stopped eating.
Another person stood up, revealing a head full of greasy braids.
This guy who was a little too strong was also a woman.
The two women, who were stronger than men, ate and drank their fill. They picked up the broken bones on the table and slowly picked their teeth, then gradually moved their eyes to Wolfe and others.
The miners who were locked in the eyes of the two women suddenly felt their scalps tighten, and their bodies subconsciously wanted to retreat.
It didn't matter what gender it was.
This was the instinctive fear of the creatures at the bottom of the food chain for the higher-level predators.
"Tell me."
The black-faced woman with scars on her face threw the bones she had picked her teeth on the table and said lazily, "What do you want us to do?"
The miners were so suppressed by the aura of the two fierce women that they almost didn't dare to breathe, let alone speak.
Everyone subconsciously cast their eyes on Wolfe.
Wolfe's performance was much better than that of ordinary miners.
He calmed down a little, then took out a small thing similar to a memory card from his pocket, stepped forward and gently placed it in front of the woman.
The scarred woman picked up the memory card and read it using the terminal.
After a moment, she looked at the information displayed on the terminal, smacked her lips, and asked: "Kill which one? Or kill both at once?"
"Two."
Woolf answered quickly, with a firm tone, "Neither can survive."
"What are the strengths of these two people?"
The scarred woman asked again.
Woolf thought for a while, and said calmly: "The young one is the son of the mine owner, and the mine owner is a baron noble.
He found a bodyguard for his own son... What strength do you think he should have?"
"That's level four."
The scarred woman sucked her teeth and said casually: "At worst, no more than level five.
Generally, the background of a baron's family is just this.
Well, if it's a level five master, then the price mentioned before is not enough."
The scarred woman and the woman with pigtails turned their heads at the same time, and the four eyes stared at Wolf and his group.
The ferocious and cruel eyes like a beast slowly swept over the group, and then grinned and said: "You have to pay more.
At least three times!"
