Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1316 - 499: Clash_2

This kind of feeling lingered in his heart, difficult to express with words.

Ren Zhong didn’t know what impression his basic social etiquette left on others, only slightly surprised why the multifunctional spaceship was delayed for a full five seconds before beginning its descent through the complex three-dimensional traffic lines.

Ren Zhong speculated, perhaps due to the presence of space pirates, additional security checks were needed for landing on the planet’s surface.

Twenty minutes later, his Shuttle Ship slowly landed at the edge of a gigantic lawn.

Before landing, he gazed down from the high sky.

This was an enormous garden city with an area over one hundred square kilometers.

Yet according to Di Baolun’s description, this was merely the Viscount Mansion of Viscount Nan Jiu.

On several other solid and liquid planets in the Southern Nine Star System, Viscount Nan Jiu held several smaller-scale mansion palaces.

He felt quite shocked.

Inside the Shuttle Ship, the entourage led by Ou Youning was even more overwhelmed.

Thinking back to the past, tens of thousands of people crammed into a small space in Starfire Town, members of a semi-professional scavenger team squeezed into a small courtyard, each night having to crowd into a shared sleeping pod, they couldn’t imagine a family occupying an area comparable to the Source Star Capital as their residence.

Comparison is truly the thief of joy.

After stepping off the Airship, Ren Zhong still didn’t see Sosgate Augustus, only a servant-like man waiting there, leading the group to the transport belt and pointing at it idly.

"Step onto this passage and you’ll reach the Viscount’s meeting hall directly, please."

Observing from the side, Di Baolun’s expression slightly changed.

Ren Zhong said nothing, personally leading the group onto the belt.

Fortunately, the belt had gravity-locking devices, preventing the group from being thrown off due to rapid movement.

After another ten minutes, Ren Zhong and the others found themselves in the meeting hall.

At this time, Sosgate Augustus finally deigned to move his precious behind off the chair, walked slowly to Ren Zhong, and clasped his hands, "Welcome, Earl. Apologies for not meeting you sooner, truly ashamed."

Ren Zhong raised his eyelids, glanced around, and surprisingly didn’t find a single chair, then playfully remarked, "I don’t see much of your shame."

Saying so, Ren Zhong familiarly walked past Sosgate, swiftly proceeded to the lone chair at the high position marked with "South Nine," sat down, and crossed his legs.

Sosgate clearly didn’t anticipate this sneak attack, inwardly cursed his negligence.

He wasn’t as daring as his own son, to demand a Earl rise and give him the seat. Helplessly, he walked to Ren Zhong’s side, slightly clasped his hands, and straightforwardly stated, "The main reason for inviting Earl here is to discuss three matters."

"Speak." Ren Zhong leaned back, and the perceptive Ou Youning stepped forward, conjuring an exquisite enamel teacup in his hands, placing it in Ren Zhong’s hand, embodying a sycophant’s demeanor.

Moreover, Ou Youning’s position was quite deliberate, right to Ren Zhong’s right, standing left and right opposite Sosgate, appearing as his protectors.

Sosgate’s expression slightly changed, inwardly cursed.

Thinking Ren Zhong was merely an uncultured country bumpkin lacking etiquette, he didn’t expect him to have quite a few tricks up his sleeve, implying I was akin to his lowly servant?

Suppressing his anger, Sosgate gritted his teeth and continued, "Firstly, it’s regarding the ownership transfer of Source Star Commerce Company. I’ve sent the electronic document pertaining to the company ownership to Earl’s personal system, and this bag contains the paper documents."

Ren Zhong lifted his eyelids, and Ou Youning stepped forward, took the paper documents from Sosgate’s hand, and casually tossed them back, where a professional business assistant from the Alson family opened the bag to verify each document.

Meanwhile, Sosgate continued, "Due to many changes in Source Star, our nine families have managed Source Star Commerce for years. To sustain commercial operations, we invested..."

Ren Zhong raised his eyelids, "The profits? You reimburse me the profits, then I’ll pay you the management fee, otherwise, stop skirting the issue. Sosgate Augustus, do you have a mistaken understanding? Do you think you can truly bully me? My presence in South Nine b doesn’t mean I don’t understand the regulations of the Empire. I thought, well, distant relation isn’t as good as a close neighbor. You’re the head of the Southern Nine Star System Military and Political Department, and administratively, South Nine c indeed falls under your jurisdiction, hence my courtesy to you. But I hope you don’t take it for granted, know your place."
