#303 - Goodbye, companion
"Mutant?" Blood瞳's eyebrows rose, and he asked with some surprise. He had seen many mutants in x35. Because of gene mutations, mutants had various appearances. One of them was atavism.
"No, I am a rat-man." Shuk corrected solemnly. "Don't lump me together with mutants. Although they sometimes look similar to me."
The sensitive Blood瞳 noticed that Shuk used the word 'it', obviously he didn't have a good impression of mutants.
Just then, Garo beside him reminded him in time, "Sir, he is the patriarch of the Shuk family."
I see. Blood瞳 suddenly understood.
That makes sense. Which family that can make a big splash in the Fifth World is easy to get along with? The patriarch is an insightful fellow. Since Shuk is the patriarch, it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye to his actions. And he probably knows my identity.
Sure enough, after hearing Garo's introduction, Shuk gave Garo an admiring look. Then he said to Blood瞳, "Please sit down, Mr. Blood瞳. Although this is our first meeting, I have heard of your name for a long time. Especially the battle of Waterfall Bridge."
"............" Blood瞳 was silent for a while, then nodded. "Thank you."
Because of Carrie's ascension, the battle of Waterfall Bridge has inevitably been leaked. Blood瞳 had long known that it would attract attention because of this. But he never thought that even a great patriarch like Shuk would be alarmed. But Blood瞳 wouldn't think too much about these things. Since walking from the end of the world to the present, his will has never wavered. What do some comments matter? He only cares about his own path. As for others, let them talk.
So Blood瞳 simply said thank you and then returned to his indifference. It was as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Shuk's eyes lit up, and his evaluation of Blood瞳 was even higher.
However, this was his first meeting with Blood瞳, so there was naturally nothing substantial to talk about. Shuk just wanted to have a preliminary contact with Blood瞳.
For a great patriarch like him, building a wide network of contacts is a basic skill.
During the conversation, Blood瞳 learned that the Shuk family was a very powerful behemoth. Like the Romick family, they are one of the top wealthy families in the Fifth World. But unlike the Romick family, the Shuk family's main business is construct bodies. Simply put, it is a collection of various machines. From Death Star components to small armor manufacturing. The Shuk family has the most outstanding technicians in the Fifth World. And what surprised Blood瞳 the most was that they manufactured more than 40% of the high-level transition launchers in the entire Fifth World. It shows how amazing the strength of the Shuk family is.
However, because of being rat-men, the Shuk family does not get along well in human circles. Most of their friends are also non-humans. The only truly human and powerful ally is the Romick family. This makes the relationship between the Shuk family and the Romick family extremely close. One family is good at manufacturing, and the other is good at energy. Once they join forces, it is enough to cause a stir in the Fifth World.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, Blood瞳 and Shuk's conversation came to an end. Finally, Shuk warmly invited Blood瞳 to have dinner together, but Blood瞳 refused.
When Blood瞳 was about to say goodbye and leave, Patriarch Shuk said to Blood瞳 seriously.
"Mr. Blood瞳, thank you very much for your help this time. So I think you can be my friend. If you have anything in the Fifth World in the future, please don't be polite. I will do my best."
"............" Blood瞳 glanced at him, said nothing, and left.
When he returned to the shuttle, Garo greeted him happily and handed him a smart brain.
"What is this?" Blood瞳 was stunned.
"This is a thank you from Patriarch Shuk." Garo suppressed his excitement and replied, "Ten million star coins."
"Ten million!?" Blood瞳 was taken aback. What a generous gesture. You must know that even when he was Carrie's family warrior, he only received 500 million for the first time. Shuk gave him 10 million. Did he not treat star coins as money?
However, Blood瞳 knew that this was impossible. The value of star coins was probably more stable than the currency of any country in this universe. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a saying that a star coin tip would make people happy for a long time. Ten million star coins was enough for Blood瞳 to buy a planet in the Sixth World.
What a courage. Thinking of Carrie again, Blood瞳 felt that these great patriarchs of the Fifth World were indeed very admirable. No wonder they could build such a huge force.
However, Blood瞳 would not be polite and happily accepted the ten million star coins. This was also the reward he deserved. Finally, he asked seemingly unintentionally.
"Do you know why they appeared here?"
"This..." To Blood瞳's surprise, Garo hesitated. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "Mr. Blood瞳, let's not ask about this matter, shall we?"
"What do you mean?" Blood瞳 frowned.
"Every family has its own secrets. Especially the Shuk family." Garo replied in a low voice, "They are the major manufacturers in the Fifth World. In order to compress labor costs, they also build industrial bases in the Sixth World and even the Seventh World. This... we can't inquire about these things."
I see, Blood瞳 nodded. It seemed that Shuk was here to check his industrial base, so he accidentally encountered space pirates. But what Blood瞳 was curious about was, what kind of base would require a patriarch to inspect it himself? And would he be trapped by a novice space pirate? Didn't he bring guards?
Blood瞳 was puzzled for a while. But he was too lazy to pursue it, so he ordered to continue the journey.
Half a month later, they finally ended the last high-level transition, and the familiar starry sky of the t6 star field appeared in front of them.
As soon as he entered, Blood瞳 began to connect to the t6 branch of the Space Mercenaries. He quickly obtained Robbie and others' locations. Only then did he know that they were originally at the u9 space station.
This small space station, which once served as a logistics base during the t6 war, has now become a new stronghold in the t6 star field. The Space Mercenaries expanded the business scope of this space station, making it a new branch. The original t6 space station, however, changed its location after being rebuilt due to the destruction, becoming a standard forward fortress.
From this point, it can be seen how much shock the t6 war brought to the Space Mercenaries. So they especially increased their control over t6. The construction of the space fortress is to prepare for the next war.
The u9 space station was not far away, so Blood瞳 arrived here in less than three days. As soon as he got off the shuttle, he saw the lovely twin sisters.
I saw the two little guys, each holding a doll, waiting eagerly at the airport. Their eyes turned red as soon as they saw Blood瞳 appear. They rushed up from left and right, hugged Blood瞳, and burst into tears. The two dolls had long been thrown away somewhere.
"Wuwuwuwu... Blood瞳, I thought you didn't want us anymore..."
"Waaawaaa, it's so good to see you again, Blood瞳."
"Promise us not to take risks anymore. We're so scared."
"Roar!" Lie Ya anxiously circled around Blood瞳's feet, but couldn't squeeze in. He was anxious and howled. Finally, he angered Bo Xi, and was kicked far away.
"Ten ice creams, Lie Ya."
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
"Roar!" Lie Ya roared unwillingly. Does it mean that I'm only worth a few ice creams? But when he saw Bo Xi's fierce eyes, he obediently lowered his head.
"Woo..." Okay, for ice cream.
"You two..." Blood瞳 smiled dumbly. At the same time, a warmth surged in his heart.
This is a companion... Even after such a long time, they are still thinking about their companions. Compared with them, what is a little adventure? Blood瞳 does not regret leaving them behind and invading t6 alone.
However, the two little guys are really clingy. Maybe it was because they had been separated from Blood瞳 for too long. This time, they were unwilling to separate from Blood瞳 no matter what. In the end, they climbed onto Blood瞳's shoulders, one on each side, and refused to come down. Their tearful eyes made Blood瞳's heart soften.
"Okay, you can only sit for a while." He said to the two little guys. Defaulting to their mischief.
"Aowuuu." Lie Ya finally got the chance, ran over and rubbed against Blood瞳's legs. His big tail was wagging diligently.
"............, you are a Nether Leopard, not a dog..." Blood瞳 was startled. Could it be that the little guy has changed Lie Ya's personality after not seeing him for a while? But seeing Lie Ya's pleading eyes, he still touched its big head. "Okay, let me pass. Are you trying to trap me at the dock?"
"Aow." Lie Ya then cried out and followed Blood瞳 dejectedly.
At this time, Blood瞳 saw that not only the twin sisters were at the dock, but also Pandora and Jules.
Pandora was still wearing a clean maid outfit with a pair of heavy black-rimmed glasses. When she saw Blood瞳 turn her head, she showed a sweet smile. She bent down and saluted. "Welcome back, Master."
Jules was wearing a well-tailored blue swallowtail coat, arms crossed, watching coldly. Noticing Blood瞳's gaze, he just curled his lips.
"Not dead yet. Consider yourself lucky."
"If you're not dead, hurry up and go. Robbie probably can't wait."
"Where's Robbie?" Blood瞳 was stunned. Only then did he realize that the companion who should be here the most was not here. He couldn't help but feel worried.
"His condition is very bad now. I think you should go and see him." Jules sighed. "Since the last battle, he has fallen into a deep coma. He only woke up a few times. The last time was half a month ago. He hasn't woken up recently."
What!?
Blood瞳 was shocked. He couldn't care less about exchanging pleasantries with everyone, and rushed out of the airport. His attendant Jack was already waiting there in a car. Seeing Blood瞳 rushing into the car in a hurry, he was startled. "Sir!?
"Go! To Robbie's!" Blood瞳 shouted with a sullen face. Jack immediately understood and skillfully started the flying car.
The next moment, the flying car rushed out of the airport like a wild rhino...
In the car, Blood瞳's eyes were cold and sharp, but his heart was extremely anxious.
Robbie, you must be okay...
