Chapter 422: A Sensitive Time
Chapter 422: A Sensitive Time
The judgment was over.
The flames symbolizing purification had also begun to extinguish.
Loren, high up in the sky, looked down at the few unmanned mechas remaining on the street below.
He had preserved all those fighter mechas, only using his Legendary ability to deal with the pilots inside the mechas.
As for the mechas themselves, they were still there...
After counting the number of mechas on the ground, Loren raised his head again to gaze at the starship that stretched across the sky, tilting his head slightly.
"I wonder if Hans would like this?"
At this moment, the interior of the starship was completely empty, operating in an "auto-hover" mode.
As for the pilots inside the starship and the Resistance members stationed within...
Under Loren's uncanny ability, they had all voluntarily walked into the ship's fuel compartments, transforming into harmless gases within the fuel tanks.Unfortunately.
The starship's built-in energy defense system couldn't stop those invisible threads that descended directly from the void...
As everyone knew, the most troublesome aspect of a rule-system ability wasn't its "power," but its bizarre effect that bordered on a "rule."
That bizarre effect, akin to a "miracle," would give any being a major headache...
"What likes and dislikes?"
Miss Silver Dragon's voice suddenly echoed in Loren's ear.
As the words fell, Jessistan's graceful figure materialized beside Loren, looking quite aggrieved.
"And who is Hans? Do you have another dragon outside?!"
Loren turned his head, glancing at the elegant figure that had appeared beside him, and said calmly:
"Appearing like that out of nowhere is quite startling..."
Upon hearing this.
The Silver Dragon's eyes grew even more watery.
"You haven't answered my question, dear Mr. Loren~"
"Why not give them to me? My followers could really use these things too..."
Hearing Miss Silver Dragon's coquettish tone, Loren, feeling a bit uncomfortable, directly cut off her offensive.
"Please act normal, thank you."
"At least, I'm not going to buy the coquettish act of a several-thousand-year-old dragon..."
Faced with Loren's sharp tongue, the Silver Dragon beside him let out a weary sigh.
I'm just a baby dragon who's lived a bit longer, really!
Hmph! This is prejudice...
I'm not talking to you!!!
Seeing that the Silver Dragon had finally quieted down, Loren gave a light smile before speaking:
"He's a friend of mine from the Radiant Flow Star Domain. Mm... he has a lot of talent for mechanical things..."
Hearing this, the Silver Dragon's eyes instinctively narrowed!
Then, she almost instinctively asked:
"The Radiant Flow Star Domain is so far away. How are you going to send these things to him?!"
"Correction, not 'send,' but 'sell at a discount,'" Loren emphasized.
"As for how to get them to the Radiant Flow Star Domain..."
Then, he smiled warmly at the graceful figure beside him, his expression sunny.
Jessistan: "..."
I hate you! Handsome Mr. Loren! You're a complete jerk!
After an intense round of eye contact, the Silver Dragon ultimately conceded!
Finally, she spoke with extreme reluctance:
"Fine! I can deliver them to the Radiant Flow Star Domain!"
"But I'll give up that starship in the sky!"
"However! I want half of those war mechas on the ground!"
Hearing this, Loren smiled slightly.
"Deal!"
Upon hearing that, Miss Silver Dragon instantly perked up!
"Really?! You promised, no tricking the dragon!!!"
To that, Loren simply nodded lightly.
"Mm."
At a time like this, finding a Demigod-level powerhouse willing to handle delivery wasn't easy...
Let alone delivering the Resistance's equipment...
After getting Loren's guarantee, the Silver Dragon happily flew down to package the war mechas on the ground!
These days, getting so many intact mechas without having to rob anyone was rare...
Mr. Loren, I love you!!!
Once on the ground, the Silver Dragon expertly released hundreds of spatial magic arrays of uniform size, instantly storing all the unmanned mechas on the ground into her self-created storage space...
The whole process was notably efficient, swift, and professional!
Mm... judging by her practiced technique...
One could tell this Silver Dragon had done this kind of thing plenty of times before...
Up in the sky, Loren watched this scene in silence, his lips twitching slightly.
"Miss Jessistan, maybe it's best you don't return to the Land of the Gods. Seriously, I'm worried the gods you've offended might just beat you to death..."
After silently roasting his "driver" in his mind, Loren pulled out his black-and-gold portable computer—Hans's special custom edition—from his pocket.
Dialing a number, Loren waited quietly.
Five seconds later, the call connected.
"Hello? Mr. Loren?"
"Perfect timing. I actually had something I wanted to ask your opinion about..."
"And here you are, calling..."
"Right! You're calling me—is there something you need?"
Hans's familiar voice came through the portable computer.
Hearing this, a radiant smile spread across Loren's face.
"Yeah, it's me, Mr. Hans."
"I just robbed a group of Resistance fighters and seized a starship, along with..."
Pausing, Loren recalled the number of mechas he had counted earlier and subtracted half.
"...and 51 war mechas, in pristine condition."
"Mm... there might be a lot more starships and mechas coming later..."
"Do you want to buy them? Or, can you help me find a suitable buyer in the Radiant Flow Star Domain?"
Loren stated his purpose directly.
As his words fell, Hans's breathing on the other end of the portable computer noticeably stalled...
Clearly, Loren's words had hit him with a certain impact.
After a long pause.
Hans's voice sounded again, now tinged with hesitation as he said:
"Mr. Loren, I might only need one starship and a few mechas for research purposes..."
"As for the remaining mechas, I'll find interested parties for you in the Radiant Flow Star Domain."
"And if there are a lot more coming later..."
"I might need a little time to screen suitable buyers for you, Mr. Loren..."
"After all, during such a sensitive time, not many people can handle Resistance equipment, and even fewer are willing to take it on..."
"Everyone's afraid of getting themselves into trouble..."
Hearing Hans's words, Loren nodded with considerable satisfaction.
"Alright, then I'll have someone send this batch of mechas and the starship to the Radiant Flow Star Domain."
"Oh, and there might be a lot more mechas and starships coming later..."
"Would delivering them directly to your place cause you any trouble?"
As his words fell, the sound of Hans's breathing on the portable computer stalled once more.
A long time passed.
A voice that sounded on the verge of tears finally responded:
"Don't worry, Mr. Loren. My robot companions are all Legendary now..."
"It should... be fine..."
