Chapter 236: Chapter 235 Full of Tricks

On the Black Dragon Spaceship, Qiu Lei’s gaze towards Ling Xiao never seemed quite right.

All three girls huddled together, looking at Qiu Lei with disgusted faces. Could it be that after having his fun with Bai Bian, he wasn’t satisfied and planned to go after Ling Xiao next!?

Ling Xiao felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up under Qiu Lei’s stare and hurriedly spoke up, “We plan to take a detour through the Alien Star System, then head back to the interstellar federation.”

Qiu Lei scratched his chin and pondered for a moment before nodding, “That’s a viable idea. Although going to the Alien Federation will be somewhat dangerous, their technology is very backward, so as long as we don’t land on those planets, or make contact with those aliens, I think we will still be safe…”

“Is the alien’s technology really that backward?” Xia Weiwei couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Bai Bian nodded, “Although the Alien Star System can support the proliferation of the Alien Race, the resources within are quite limited. That’s also why the two major human federations have let the Alien Star System be.”

The three women suddenly understood; it wasn’t because the spatial barriers of the Alien Star System were unstable that the two human federations ceased their wars, but because there was nothing worthwhile to take from the aliens.

But that made sense. If the investment and returns weren’t equivalent, who would start a war for no reason? Especially an interstellar war of such scale.

Qiu Lei’s expression turned slightly solemn, “If we really decide to take a detour through the Alien Star System, then you will mostly have to rely on yourselves.”

Everyone looked at Qiu Lei with curiosity. Was he not planning to accompany them?

Bai Bian explained, “Both the young master and I have reached the rank of Martial Emperor, which completely exceeds the bearing range of the Alien Star System’s spatial barriers. If we were to go all out there, it would definitely cause a spatial collapse, so if we encounter danger, we must rely on strategy, not force.”

The people present nodded, signaling their understanding.

“These are all trivial matters. As long as you cooperate nicely, everything will be negotiable,” Wang Hao said with a slight smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

Ling Xiao and the others twitched at the sight of this smile—without doubt, it was the smile that Wang Hao showed only when he was about to swindle someone.

With a slap, Wang Hao’s hand came down on the table, and with it a contract.

“This is a stock transfer agreement for one percent of Skyfire Company’s shares. Just sign it, and I guarantee no matter what danger you encounter, you’ll all get home safely,” Wang Hao said with a light chuckle.

Ling Xiao and the others rolled their eyes. No wonder Wang Hao had been so easy to talk to on Civilian Star, demanding fifty percent and settling the deal with just one percent. He had been planning to boil the frog slowly all along!

Unable to help himself, Bai Bian shouted, “Wang Hao, we had an agreement, the young master promised you one percent of the shares in exchange for your guarantee that we safely return to the interstellar federation.”

“What do you mean by ‘your guarantee that we safely return to the interstellar federation’?” Wang Hao retorted gruffly, “When we signed the agreement, I agreed to forgive the deceit of Skyfire Company. Who said anything about helping you back to the interstellar federation?”

Ling Xiao and the others massaged their foreheads. Not only was Wang Hao without scruples, but he was also full of schemes.

Now that they thought about it, Wang Hao indeed had mentioned forgiving Skyfire Company’s deception, but he never uttered a word about returning to the interstellar federation.

Of course, the most crucial point was that they were pressed for time back then and hadn’t had the chance to carefully consider their options, giving Wang Hao another opportunity to extort them.

“You, you’re committing fraud!” Bai Bian exclaimed, his face turning ashen.

“Who’s committing fraud?” Wang Hao said indignantly. “I made it very clear at the time; you’re the ones who got ahead of yourselves. Whose fault can that be?”

Everyone rolled their eyes again. Was this really them getting ahead of themselves? They had simply underestimated how shameless Wang Hao could be.

With a snicker, Qiu Lei shook his head, “Just for rescuing me from Prison Star, I’ll sign the contract.”

“Little Master, please think it through!” Bai Bian urged anxiously.

Qiu Lei waved his hand, his face serious as he said, “If Wang Hao doesn’t save me, I really might be locked up on Prison Star for life. Then, who knows if the Skyfire Company will still bear the Qiu name. Now, giving him two percent of the shares really isn’t a lot.”

Wang Hao nodded repeatedly, “Right, two percent really isn’t much. How about we sign for twenty percent instead!?”

“Cough cough…”

Everyone was instantly choked by his words. This guy was Wang Tianyi’s son after all; how could he be so shameless?

Qiu Lei shook his head, “Wang Hao, two percent is really the limit. This has never happened in the history of the Qiu family, which spans tens of thousands of years. If you keep asking endlessly for more, then I might as well choose to go back to Prison Star.”

Wang Hao huffed and picked up Little White, lecturing, “Little White, remember this, don’t ever learn from those pretentious jerks. They say someone is their lifesaver, but when it comes to money, they turn their faces and refuse to acknowledge the person.”

Saying this, Wang Hao, as if afraid Little White wouldn’t know who he was referring to, pointed at Qiu Lei.

Little White nodded its little head in agreement, “This baby bunny is grateful and knows how to repay kindness. I will definitely repay even the smallest kindness with a spring of gratitude.”

Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction, “Indeed, worthy of a bunny raised by a virtuous gentleman like me. Truly a ‘righteous bunny gentleman,’ unlike some people, who are not even as good as a rabbit.”

No sooner had these words left his mouth than everyone’s eyelids twitched. Who had given this guy the nerve to call himself a virtuous gentleman?

Moreover, Little White was always gallivanting with Wang Hao; now it’s just a hooligan bunny. If someone actually saved it, it would probably turn around and sell its savior for a carrot at the drop of a hat. Who would ever repay such a small kindness with a spring of gratitude? Ridiculous!

Qiu Lei gave a wry smile and shook his head, “Wang Hao, at most three percent. No more. If it’s any more, we can’t explain it to Grandfather.”

Wang Hao, making a show of reluctance, nodded his agreement, “Three percent it is then! You’re lucky to have met someone as kind and soft-hearted as me!”

“Cough cough…”

Instantaneously, everyone around was choked again. Kind-hearted, my ass—that’s three percent of the Skyfire Company’s shares! That’s an astronomical figure nobody would even dare dream of!

But after getting it, this guy was acting as if he had suffered a great loss while the other party was taking huge advantage, utterly shameless to the extreme.

After Qiu Lei had signed the contract, Wang Hao took out the original one percent contract with a smile and nodded, “Now I have four percent of the shares.”

As soon as the words were out, everyone was stunned. Could this guy be any less shameless?

“I won’t acknowledge that one percent contract, only this three percent contract,” Qiu Lei said calmly.

Wang Hao curled his lip and played a video, “You think I wasn’t prepared? I recorded the video of you signing the contract precisely to prevent shameless people like you from denying it later.”

With that said, he walked into his room with Little White, looking utterly pleased with himself.

Ling Xiao and the others were speechless. This guy must have calculated everything in advance; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so thoroughly prepared.

“Little Master, this…” Bai Bian looked at Wang Hao’s room door infuriated, truly wanting to burst in and give Wang Hao a beating.

“Forget it, four percent it is!” Qiu Lei laughed, shaking his head. Considering the talent that Wang Hao had shown, using four percent of the shares to win him over was absolutely worth it.

And Qiu Lei had a premonition that the Interstellar Federation couldn’t contain Wang Hao; his stage was the boundless ocean of stars…
