Chapter 624: Chapter 618: Can you afford to play?

“Sir, I think there might be some misunderstanding.” The man standing opposite didn’t even think before speaking up, not wanting to risk his life here.

“Is that so?”

“Indeed. Since you are interested in this woman, let’s consider her a gift to you.” He knew that Finn Lewis was unlikely to detonate this grenade here, but it was better to be safe than sorry. There were too many desperados on the Death Star, and even more outrageous incidents had occurred countless times.

“Let’s go.” After speaking, the man didn’t give Finn a chance to respond. He gestured to his men and prepared to leave. His henchmen hesitated for a moment, then put away their weapons and began to drag up their still-living companion from the ground, following the man towards the exit.

“Wait.” Finn called out instantly.

“What else do you want?” The man turned around, his face looking somewhat unsightly.

“I heard earlier that this woman owes you money. I don’t know how much, but I generally don’t like to take things from others without giving something in return. Dunn Monty, give him 1000.” Finn said with a tilt of his head. Dunn immediately put away his weapon and walked over.

Upon hearing the figure Finn mentioned, the man’s face instantly darkened. Was this an insult? A spark of rage flashed across his face. If it wasn’t for the object Finn was still clutching in his hand, he would probably open fire without any hesitation.

But his hostility faded when Dunn Monty took out a stack of money. When Finn mentioned the sum of 1000, he had assumed it was in black coins, but to his surprise, Dunn Monty was holding star credits, the purchasing power of which on the Death Star was beyond doubt.

“You repaid my debt, so I belong to you now. I have nowhere else to go.” Seeing Finn suddenly stop, the woman was startled and hastily stammered out her response.

“You don’t have to be indebted to me, you’re free.” Finn dismissively waved his hand and resumed walking without waiting for her response.

After walking another ten meters or so, Finn could still sense the woman following him. Feeling helpless, he stopped again, turned around, and said to the woman, “Did I not make myself clear? You’re free. You don’t have to follow me.”

“I... I have nowhere to go, I... I have no family,” the woman carefully responded, her gaze fixed on Finn.

Finn was at a loss for words. His own problems hadn’t been sorted out yet, and now he had to take care of this added burden. However, he refrained from saying too much, simply continuing on his way. Once they left the airport, Montgomery Tian quickly rented a luxurious-looking magnetic floating car, which had a large internal space that could comfortably accommodate seven or eight people.

Finn, Dunn Monty, and the rest climbed into the back of the magnetic floating car, while Montgomery Tian sat in the passenger seat. The woman cautiously climbed into the car after them.

Finn glanced at her but didn’t object. If she wanted to follow, then so be it. Even though this woman was indeed beautiful – from her skin to her body shape to her looks – Finn didn’t have any particular plans for her.

The magnetic floating car quickly ascended onto the track. Finn noticed that there were fixed routes for the cars; they couldn’t fly around at will.

After about half an hour, the magnetic floating car stopped beneath a skyscraper that was thousands of stores tall and covered several square kilometers. The car stopped in front of an auxiliary building on the outskirts of the skyscraper.

After paying the car rental fee, Dunn Monty said quietly, “Your Highness, we have arrived.”
