Haiâan still jumped although Carl explained, the inspector still has to do so. If Lydneyâs protective shield was not good enough, then could he survive?
The scene suddenly became tense.
âSorry, thatâs the rule.â The inspector apologized, but without any apology in his tone, said, âOh, pure human, why donât you hang in your manâs bed? Why did you need to run through the black market?â He looked up and down at Lydney in a contemptuous tone, and saw Lydneyâs handsome face and said this insultingly.
The opprobrious tone of his voice was too apparent. It was fine if he was just following protocol, but he didnât need to insult people. Even Haiâan, who had always been gentle and docile, wanted to beat the inspector. Sure enough, when Carl heard this, his hands were clenched tightly into fists and his blue veins looked ready to burst.
When Lydney heard this, he suddenly stepped forward and kicked the inspector sinisterly in the crotch.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
All the others present hissed in a breath of cool air. Haiâan also felt that this was painful. The vines he had released all shrank back at once, but fortunately, Lydney did not seem meek now .
If it had been him, Haiâan would not have been able to kick him but he would have slapped the man with his vines. After all, his whole body wasnât big enough right now.
The inspector was suddenly kicked by Lydney, and his face was twisted. When the other inspectors saw him being attacked, they immediately picked up their guns and pointed it at them, but their other hand could not help but protect their crotches.
âSorry, Iâm just a pure human being. I didnât use much force so I shouldnât have hurt you.â Lydney apologized sincerely with a stoic look on his face. âI think your defense here is so strict so I wanted to try it out and see your response. Oh, Iâm so embarrassed.â
The inspector couldnât say a word. He stooped painfully and had a distorted face. What else could he say? Say he was kicked and dropped to his knees by a pure human? He canât afford to lose that face.
An inspector rushed up and helped him up, and no longer harassed Augusteâs crew. He just glanced at Haiâan and let him pass.
How many storms could a potted plant set off? He was not a mutated plant.
So Haiâan sat in his nest and entered Cessieâs collection room.
Cessieâs collection room was like a small castle surrounded by a retro-European fence that housed a small fountain pool in which Cessieâs pet beasts were kept. Haiâan also saw several pots of plants. These pops of green were not precious plants like Haiâan, but mainly pure ornamental plants without any thought. Besides the fence, there were several fruit trees.
The castle was made of white bricks, sky-blue domes and stained glass windows. It looked very dreamy. It stood at the top of the Dreamladder. Under him, the black market was like his kingdom. The painting style of this castle did not match the whole black market very well, neither did Cessieâs style of painting.
When Auguste arrived at the castle, the door opened automatically. At a glance, Cessie was seen standing on the balcony of the tall second-floor interior, dressed in purple aristocratic dress, waiting for them.
Cessie saw them coming and took off his top hat. One hand was hanging down close to the seam of his trousers. The other hand was placed up in front of his belly. He bent down to give Auguste a universal bow of an interstellar merchant.
âLong time no see, Auguste.â He took the stairs on the side of the balcony. In the middle of the hall was a long table with three beautiful candlesticks, many delicious foods and even fresh fruit with water droplets. Cessie went to the long table and poured himself a glass of wine. âHave you eaten yet? Would you like to have a meal together?â
âCessie.â Augusteâs voice was a little hoarser than usual, but those not familiar with him could not hear it at all. Haiâan had stayed with him for a long time, which made him hear a little exasperation in Augusteâs voice at the moment. âWeâre not here for dinner. You said youâve found the Ayulon eggs and the moonlight seeds.â
Auguste was calm. But Haiâan knew that his heart was not as quiet as he had shown.
Cessie shook his glass and took a sip of wine.
Auguste was dressed in a pure black uniform. His tall and strong body was wrapped up in hard armor that made a slight crashing sound when he walked. With the momentum of a general, a sense of oppression was exuded. He looked straight ahead, his black hair hanging slightly over his eyes, his lips clenched tightly, his eyebrows wrinkled.
This was Auguste, who had gone through more than a hundred years of war.
Cessie knew when he saw Auguste, that this time, he could never keep the Ayulon eggs.
Auguste looked calm to anyone except those close to him who felt something was wrong with him.
But Jamie was different. When Jamie, who stood behind Auguste, heard this, he stepped forward excitedly. His lips were slightly open, but he did not say what he wanted to say. His hands were clenched tightly and trembling at his side.
He has been waiting for this day for more than a hundred years.
Cessie was so shrewd that he could become the first businessman in control of a black market. Of course, his eyesight is not bad. He had long seen how important these things were to Auguste and his crew.
Auguste had been searching for Ayulon eggs for hundreds of years, and Jamie was the poorest man on the ship, because every sum of his money was given to Cessie and other expeditions for new planets within the universe to find the moonlight flowers.
Cessie gave them a sincere smile. âOf course, why else would I contact you? Come with me.â After that, he turned around and took Auguste with him to the collection room.
Cessieâs collection house was on the second floor of the castle. It was very famous all over the stars for its many exotic treasures. If someone sees something inside, they should exchange it for something else that Cessie was interested in, or they could buy it at a high price.
The wealthy businessman Cain traded ownership of a planet for a set of jewelry called Tears of Cyria as an annual gift for his sister. But his sister, wearing the jewelry, ran away with Ivan Randall, a wild man, and married in Flower Street on the occasion of the Star Year celebration.
No wonder Cain did not hesitate to join the Freedom Alliance and threatened to fight Ivan.
