Chapter 789: Chapter 783: Tragedy
Finn Lewis hadnât anticipated that Mikeâs pitch to him about the garbage battleships in the classroom would be witnessed by a member of the Wren Clan. This seemed to indicate that Finn wasnât the only one at this school familiar with his own affairs. Finn would certainly not forget the Wren Clan, particularly since Caleb Shaw had sold him 100 grade one warships, based on information collected by Luna Starfield.
In all the families, not to mention the aristocrats, even among the royal family, they were considered a formidable force. This power was almost sufficient to place them within the top ten. This clearly showed just how weak the federal military forces had become.
Life at the academy seemed peaceful. Even though Finn had paid for all his purchases, he wasnât worried about people not selling to him. Otherwise, why would Mike have agreed to the contract? It was because he feared Finn reneging and leaving him with no recourse. Donât forget, the existence of the regulatory office. If Finn filed a complaint there, even if the nine-star royal family consisted of only himself, he would prevail.
Even without a single territory, there, the regulations would unequivocally favor Finn, not their noble selves. This was precisely why they agreed to sign the contract. By signing, the purchase became voluntary and, no one could prevent it. Even if it went to the regulatory office, they wouldnât intervene.
However, what the Aitken Family had not anticipated was that, by the third day after they received the contract and organized to transport the goods, devastating news reached them. Unbelievably, a star pirate from somewhere had directly invaded their family star system, and had robbed the warehouse storing their garbage battleships.@@novelbin@@
Not only did they capture all the supplie and personnel in the warehouse, but they also destroyed the giant warehouse built on a small asteroid and in the nearby space, due to their dissatisfaction with the inferior quality of the warships. Along with it, the entire defense installations of the adjacent star systems were demolished, with no survivors left behind.
Now, even if they were produced, they wonât be able to deliver the order. But if they didnât deliver within the agreed time, 1000 times the penalty would be activated. Try to solve a legal dispute between a five-star noble and a nine-star royal and everyone in the nobility academy laughed. This was far from easy.
Victory was virtually impossible. Everyoneâs expressions instantly became peculiar. Could his Highness, famously known as Prodigal of the nobility academy really be this lucky? The title of Prodigal would be hard to give to anyone but Finn. Everyone knew that Finn came from an indigenous planet so he wasnât initially capable of having star credits.
But now since Finn possesses so many Luna Starfield, thereâs only one explanation, it must be his ancestral wealth! But the nine-star royal family only had an impressive sounding name left, and a bit of territory. Rather than using such vast wealth to develop his familyâs territory, he decided to indulge in various luxuries, if this wasnât Prodigal what was it?
The term Prodigal was mostly used to describe those young masters who were good for nothing. But in Finnâs case, he was indeed squandering his familyâs wealth. Moreover, this glorious spending was a learning experience for anyone. Indeed he was rightfully titled the number one Prodigal.
However, that guy was not nearly as lucky as Finn. With a few over 100 million star credits, he had now amassed wealth amounting to over 1000 billion star credits, thereby quadrupling his revenue. Who could compete with such a swift accumulation of wealth?
In the Unionâs law, if someone finds himself in a situation like this, but unable to carry out his duties, and Finn demanded their family territory, then they would have to convert their territory into cash to repay him. However, where would they generate 1200 billion star credits from? How much do you think a five-star nobleâs territory amounts to?
Even after converting their entire territory, the resulting amount would not be much higher than that. Werenât they just selling off their entire family? Thatâs ridiculous. Everyone had said that Finn was Prodigal, but really, Mike took the real blow. One contract plunged him into total bankruptcy and completely finished him.
