Chapter 4067 Just a lowly laborer
With the speed of a true dragon from China, it bypassed the hotel's security and flew openly into the villa's courtyard without anyone noticing.
Then Ah Xi Ruo ran into [Xiang Fei Hu] who was meditating and cultivating in the courtyard... which was quite awkward.
Li Huamei was somewhat curious about Xi Ruo's habit of leaving in the morning and returning at night for the past two days. However, she was always open-minded and believed that Xi Ruo must have a reason for not telling her, and would naturally tell her when she wanted to.
As for the question of whether Xi Ruo's mysterious outing might reveal the plans of the Pirate Alliance headquarters, she hadn't even considered it. She firmly believed that Xi Ruo was a sensible person.
"You're back just in time; it's almost time for dinner."
"...I have no appetite, I'm not eating."
After saying that, Ah Xiruo waved her hand and walked straight to her room—in her mind, [Binglun]'s voice buzzed like a bee, nagging and rambling on, all of which were suggestive words urging her to take the initiative.
Li Huamei glanced at him suspiciously but didn't press him for details. Just then, Brother Shak came running over excitedly and lowered his voice.
"[Shohiko]-sama, someone is looking for you outside. It's Momojiro! But he only left this thing behind, saying it was for you, and then he left."
"I understand." Li Huamei nodded lightly and took the things.
As for whether Shaq peeked, he probably didn't; Li Huamei believed he wouldn't dare.
Brother Shaq was indeed very curious, but he didn't dare to look around. After handing over the items, he left quietly and hid in his room.
"This must be what the boss said he was going to give me..."
Before opening it, [Xiang Feihu] seemed to be deep in thought.
Upon opening it, [Xiang Feihu] was completely bewildered... Zhang Bolu had delivered a book.
A book titled "One Hundred Tips on How to Showcase Feminine Charm"... the cover alone is quite indecent.
"That's so indecent!!"
Instinctively, she snorted and slammed her hand on the cover.
"The boss wouldn't do something so pointless. Could there be some deeper meaning...? Is there encrypted information in the book?"
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Feihu picked up the book, turned around, and went back to her room—she planned to study it carefully.
……
At dinner, neither Ah Xiruo nor Li Huamei appeared. As for Brother Shak... he was not actually qualified to sit at the table to eat; he could only squat on a small stool in the kitchen, holding a rooster bowl.
The maid gently tied a napkin around Mr. Luo's neck.
"It seems a bit quiet tonight," Boss Luo said with a smile.
Not only are Ah Xiruo and the others gone, but even Bai Zhi and Xia Ji seem to be missing... This is a time that belongs only to the boss and the maid.
"Bai Zhi and Xia Ji requested leave, and I approved it." The maid said softly, "Master, would you like some honey?"
Boss Luo casually ran his finger across the honey jar, then smeared the golden honey onto the maid's lips.
He smiled slightly and said, "Then let's have something sweet."

……
In the Empire of Abrier, on a remote waterway of a certain river system, aboard a dilapidated pirate ship whose flag has been half destroyed.
Armand's men still managed to pry it off.
However, the captain was seriously injured and fell into a deep coma. Despite being given a large amount of precious medicine, it had no effect, and the pirates were in a state of panic.
The main problem is that, apart from their own captain, no one knew the true objective of this operation.
They only knew that such a large-scale infiltration of [Abrier] must indicate a major operation, possibly related to the upcoming ascension of the new emperor of the empire.
"How come you still can't wake the captain?"
"No, the captain's self-awareness has been shut down! I can feel an extremely terrifying force clinging to the captain... It must be that horrible guy!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.
The battle between Captain Armand and that mysterious ronin was terrifying... Why didn't a powerhouse of that level fight on the advanced path of the Primordial Realm?
"What should we do? The captain staying unconscious isn't a solution, is it?"
"The only option now is to inform Master Arthur."
"Is...is this okay?"
Armand has many descendants, and different descendants are in charge of "business" in different regions... In the territory of the Abriere Empire, it is mainly the young master Arthur who is in charge.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Before this attack, the captain had already contacted young master Arthur... I don't know exactly what they talked about, but it was probably about him meeting up."
"alright."
With Captain Armand seriously injured and unconscious, the fleet naturally needs someone of considerable stature to step forward and temporarily lead the entire crew—while young master Arthur may not be the best candidate, he is the most suitable one at this moment.
……
"What? Father... he's seriously injured and unconscious?"
Before the encrypted communication screen, Young Master Arthur's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief. "Do you know what will happen if you dare to deceive me?!"
“Young Master Arthur, would we dare joke about something like this with you? Why don’t you look at the captain…”
The scene shifts, and Arthur is immediately struck by the image of Armand lying on the bed, pale and showing signs of pain.
"Father……"
The young master Arthur in front of the screen was startled. He immediately placed his hands on the table, lowered his head, and his shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
On the other side of the screen, the pirates, seeing their young master Arthur's state, quickly comforted him, "Young master, there's no need to be like this. The captain has simply shut down his consciousness; his body is already repairing itself! At least, he's not in any danger! You must suppress your grief!"
Although young master Arthur is not the most outstanding among his many children, he is probably the most filial... Judging from the young master's appearance, he must have been crying?
"Send me the coordinates, I'll come and guide you right away!" Young Master Arthur kept his head down, his voice hoarse.
"Young Master, we're waiting for you, please come quickly!"
The communication ended, the screen went dark, and Young Master Arthur still kept his head down, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably... Suddenly, he covered his face, raised his head, and burst into wild laughter!
"I never expected this, I never expected this... Hahahaha!!!! You old devil, you've finally met your match!!"
Originally, he was still worried about losing something important, fearing that Armand would find out. During this time, he was terrified and his mental state was unstable. He even took some mental supplements, fearing that he would suffer a terrible fate once he woke up from his bliss.
"Heaven is helping me! Heaven is truly helping me!!"
At that moment, the young master Arthur, who was in a frenzy, rushed out of the room.
Amidst the horrified, worried, and confused gazes of his subordinates, Young Master Arthur waved his hand and declared, "Full speed ahead to these coordinates! I'm off to fulfill my filial duty!!"
What are you doing? What filial piety are you showing?

Beneath the dazzling starry sky, the Stargate opened like a vortex, and a rose-gold spaceship slowly emerged... This was not a combat spaceship, but a functional spaceship for performances, capable of transforming into a giant stage large enough to accommodate millions of spectators.
The famous "Galactic Fairy" is currently on board this spaceship.
After finishing their concert in Saint Gloria, the Galactic Fairy immediately headed to their next stop—to perform for the new emperor of Abriel.
In the atrium of the spaceship, in the canopy courtyard, Sheryl was wearing a beach outfit, enjoying the simulated sun's temperature... a moment of leisure amidst her busy schedule.
Assistant Xizi was engrossed in her work nearby.
After their company was wholly acquired by Void Bank, there were huge personnel changes... Except for the Galaxy Fairy team, all departments have been completely overhauled.
Miss Xizi still can't understand why [Void Bank] would acquire this company outright, and at a premium—after all, the company's only cash cow is Miss Shirley, and the others are just supporting characters.
The main issue is that it's strange that a behemoth like the Void Bank would be interested in the entertainment industry... There doesn't seem to be any precedent for this.
Given the size of [Void Bank], if it were to truly venture into the entertainment industry, wouldn't that be a game-changer?
Miss Xizi glanced silently at Miss Shirley, who was enjoying the sunshine and was in a rare good mood, and her feelings were somewhat complicated.
She sighed inwardly. For her at the moment, it seemed that only working hard could repay them... Suddenly, a shadow appeared, directly covering the sky above the spaceship's central courtyard.
The birds kept in the courtyard seemed to be startled and took flight one after another.
Miss Sherry, who had been resting with her eyes closed, frowned slightly and subconsciously pulled down her sunglasses to peer out at the sky. "That's... a ship?"
If we compare her large performance ship to 1, then what appears before her now is [10]!
But this was not just one ship; there were as many as eight ships of the [10] scale, scattered like loyal guards surrounding a larger interstellar spaceship that resembled a cathedral or palace.
"Miss...that looks like the emblem of the Void Bank!!" Miss Xizi's eyes widened immediately!
"Hmm..." Miss Sheryl swallowed awkwardly.
……
A moment later, under the other party's guidance, the performance spaceship slowly entered the dock of the palace-like spaceship... Then, [Galaxy Fairy] was taken to the upper level of the palace - along with her assistant, Miss Xizi.
As soon as she sat down, Miss Xizi couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Are you nervous?" Sherry frowned.
Miss Xizi trembled slightly and said, "The president of the Science Department of the Void Bank... Miss, aren't you nervous? Who would have thought that I would meet such an important person in a place like this? Am I even qualified to meet him...?"
She's just a lowly, insignificant working-class person who works from 5 to 9 and is constantly exploited by her family!
"You'll see him right now, won't you?" Sherry said casually, but she was secretly curious about what kind of person the president of the Void Bank in the Science District would be.
As a renowned songstress who travels through different regions of the four sides of the void, Sheryl has met many truly important figures, but opportunities for one-on-one meetings like this are rare.
The truly important people aren't actually interested in her kind of thing—it's mostly the descendants of important people who are more enthusiastic about it.
"I won't say anything later..." Miss Xizi said weakly, "I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing."
Sherry shook her head, and just as she was about to speak, there was a noise outside the door.
The door opened, and two maids stood outside but did not enter... A man with short white hair, dressed in pure black trousers and a pure white long-sleeved shirt, walked in with a smile on his face.
—Aren't you wearing shoes?
Sherry was surprised and quickly stood up. Miss Xizi followed suit, carefully observing her.
"Miss Sherry, hello, nice to meet you," the white-haired man said with a light laugh.
“Hello, Lord Francis!” Sherry smiled elegantly. “I have long heard of your great name, but I never expected to meet you in this way. It is my honor.”
"I'm glad I didn't scare you." The white-haired man, Francis, walked over and sat down casually in front of the two of them. "I'm also on my way to Marindo for the ceremony. Since we've met on the road, Miss Sheryl, why don't you take a ride on my ship? After all, you're now our employees."
Sherry's gaze narrowed slightly. As expected of a regional president, she didn't waste any time and directly stated her meaning... or rather, it was a request that could not be refused.
“Then we’ll benefit from your kindness.” Shirley smiled slightly, not at all shy—although she said she disliked this kind of socializing, she wouldn’t refuse it.
Just as she once told Xizi, if someone could give her unlimited protection, then what's wrong with being a beautiful canary?
She's not incapable of providing emotional value; in fact, she can provide it to the highest degree.
She is merely the [Galaxy Fairy], not the [Galaxy Fairy] forever... The voice of the gods is rare, but not unique.
Even without her, another "Galaxy Fairy" will appear.
Anyway, there will come a day when I will not be able to keep this beautiful original sin. Since I can't escape the fate of giving myself to someone, why not choose someone I can look at...someone who is top-notch in every way?
This regional president from the "science side" has unimaginable power behind him... He seems to be a very good financial backer.
However, to Miss Sherry's slight disappointment, this president with an amazing background did not talk to her for long—in fact, the meeting was very short, lasting only a few minutes!
I've only met him once, and his attitude is a complete mystery.
Soon, Francis arranged for the [Galaxy Fairy] to go.
"Miss Sheryl, I hope you have a pleasant journey."
"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Francis."
……
Before the enormous transparent wall overlooking the stars, Francis casually leaned against it, his gaze deep and steady... At that moment, a stern-faced man pushed open the door and entered.
This is his personal assistant, Karl Franz, a member of the rare Void race, the Primal Dark Elf.
"Miss Sheryl has already been placed in the VIP area," Karl Franz said expressionlessly. "However, why go through all that trouble to change the route... to [encounter] this [Galactic Fairy]?"
He didn't think Francis would be interested in the "Galactic Fairy." Sheryl's beauty was indeed top-notch, but that was all she had.
Given Francis's status, such a beauty was readily available to him.
“Karl, do you know why headquarters suddenly acquired the company that Sheryl belongs to?” Francis asked with a light laugh.
“No one does anything without a profit,” Karl said calmly. “But I’ve seen this company’s financial report; the profits aren’t high, and it’s all supported by the ‘Galaxy Fairy,’ its cash cow. Could it be that this ‘Galaxy Fairy’ has something special about it?”
“I’m curious too,” Francis muttered to himself. “After all, it was the one who personally requested the acquisition…”
"That one?" Karl frowned.
Francis said calmly, "The Seventh Director, Lord Saint Seven-Colored Violet."
Karl Franz's expression hardened slightly.
The board members... those are the true high-level executives and holders of the [Void Bank].
Being the seventh-ranking director may not seem high, but the influence he wields is already terrifying... After all, the bank's board of directors actually has quite a few members, a total of thirty-seven.
Carl felt relieved. Since this was someone the Seventh Director had taken a liking to, it was no wonder that even Francis had to lower himself and change his approach to "chance encounter".
Despite his prestigious status, Francis was essentially just a lowly employee working for the Void Bank.
A thought flashed through Karl's mind, and he subconsciously asked, "Could it be that this seventh director will also be going to [Marindo]?"
Francis paused for a moment, glancing at his personal assistant with some surprise.
The Primal Dark Elf possesses a unique ability: they can subconsciously foresee certain events with remarkable accuracy.
However, this ability requires a medium to trigger it, which could be some information, some objects, or a few words.
Because the seventh director was just mentioned, did you sense something? Or is it just a random thought?
A faint thought.
Francis chuckled softly. "It seems this chance encounter might turn out to be a good investment."
The identity of the seventh director is extremely mysterious. He has never actually shown his face, and even the regional president has never seen him in person.
If Carl's premonition comes true this time...
