Chen Fei held the landline phone in one hand and scratched his forehead with the other as he finished listening to the rant of Yilan, the female Metallic Dragon. He said, "I have someone here who used financial fraud to hack a trillion Star Yuan from the Dragon King. Yilan, can you help me ask how to return it to Sky Dragon City?"

A Heavenly Rank Warrior, a trillion Star Yuan, Chen Fei wanted both the person and the Star Yuan, but he couldn't have both. So he had to make a choice, taking the person and giving up the money. After all, talent is the most important. He didn't want to be targeted by the Giant Dragons of Sky Dragon City over money problems, especially since this isn't a few million or tens of millions, but a staggering trillion, a figure many small sovereignties' GDP can't reach.

There's a chance that Sky Dragon City's current bankruptcy crisis is caused by this trillion.

Before officially taking in the Heavenly Earth Element Warrior Theodore, Chen Fei must remove this hidden danger first. The Dragon Clan and Sagali civilization have a deep-seated enmity, and one might need to leverage the Dragon Clan's formidable battle strength in the future.

"Someone hacked the Dragon King's money?"

Yilan froze for a moment.

Daring to con the Dragon King's money, and such a huge amount at that, is truly brave!

However, there are quite a few such reckless warriors. Some Blue Star sovereignties even secretly try their hand at it. After all, a single Theodore wouldn't be enough to bankrupt Sky Dragon City. A trillion Star Yuan is not all of Sky Dragon City's liquid assets, just a part of it.

"If there is 100% profit, capital is willing to risk getting hanged; if there is 300% profit, capital is willing to trample all human laws!"

Chen Fei recited a passage from one of the must-read books in economics, "Capital."

Many who dare to reap the Dragon King's gains earn more than 300%. A major player in financial fraud like Theodore probably incurs costs less than the interest on that trillion Star Yuan. Succeeding in this deal means limitless food and drink for a lifetime.

"I'll ask for you first, wait for my call!"

Yilan felt this wasn't as simple as just downloading data from Sky Dragon City. She already sensed that Chen Fei wants to protect the person, using the sacrifice of wealth as a price for Sky Dragon City not pursuing it further.

As long as this huge sum can be recovered, Sky Dragon City has enough reason to shrink the matter. At most, they would break every bone of Theodore, and the issue would be considered resolved.

After hearing the rapid short tone following the end of the call, Chen Fei slowly put the receiver back on the landline, returning it to standby mode.

Someone's going to start getting anxious!

Chen Fei wasn't standing up for someone without a reason; there's a maneuver known as linked kidnapping.

It's like nuclear deterrence from decades ago—the third's warheads can't reach the first but can hit the second. If one wants to strike the first, just capture and go all out on the second. An enraged second won't let anyone off easily, pulling the first down to hell, enjoying fireworks together, and going down in flames.

No one's being reasonable, yet this is the reason—second isn't unjust, right?

Not unjust!

Not a bit unjust!

Drifting in Jianghu, how can one not take a stab? You stab me, I stab you, everyone gets stabbed, no one's running away.

Using Theodore's card, leveraging those coveting the trillion Star Yuan sum, Chen Fei wants to muddy the waters of Habraf Prison. After just two nights here, he already sensed multiple unknown forces reaching out, trying to manipulate him.

If too many major forces reach into Habraf Prison, other forces will certainly get anxious.

No matter the target being watched, it's better to believe its existence than doubt it, since brushing the grass could reveal rabbits; picking up anything is profit, getting Emerald Star on top of an additional trillion isn't that enticing?

Who would yield? Who'd want to sit around sharing fruits?

No one!

There won't be anyone!

None of those who can become major figures are vegetarians, so ensuing visible and hidden fights and a bloody storm are bound to happen.

Let them have a dog-eat-dog fight first, only then can one see who's a true dog; Chen Fei can cheer on the sidelines with a 666 shout.

Although these internal squabbles will weaken Blue Star humans' combat power to some extent, these external fighters in internal conflicts were originally useless against the "Sagali" civilization's invasion.

As for the financial scam giant and Heavenly Earth Element Warrior Theodore, getting him to reveal hidden assets in secret accounts or converted into valuable securities is, on the contrary, easiest for Chen Fei. For instance, no beatings or insults, but a Slaughter Dragon one-day tour, one day's not enough, then two days, every day new, daily new, and again new (from "Panming"), creating new citizens (from "Shangshu·KangGao").

No iron man is stronger than a Metallic Dragon iron, right?

The former is an adjective, the latter is a noun, if they were to come to a verb… what's unable to be changed can be improved in the next life.

-

Early morning, leisurely enjoying the breakfast of one's choice.

Bacon ham sausage with eggs wrapped in a large Shandong pancake, sprinkled with a bit of black truffle, delightful!

A sleep-deprived Nicole von Sasha came directly to the door.

Seeing Nicole, the blonde girl nearly turning into a blonde panda, Chen Fei sipped his morning tea curiously asking, "What's wrong with you? Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Thanks to you, I didn't have a chance to sleep at all last night!"

The pressure from Nicole's frame rushed straight out.

Chen Fei deliberately played dumb, acting innocently asking, "What exactly did I do to incur widespread wrath?"

This is not the time to admit, conceding would mean expecting a Turtle Fist with no reason.

"You…"

The blonde girl was momentarily choked, pointing at Chen Fei, her face flushed before regaining speech, yet her silver teeth still grinding audibly, saying, "The words you said on the phone last night, isn't it obvious to you?"

The fact that a beauty could say something like "obvious," was truly surprising.

"Ho ho ho!"

Chen Fei couldn't hold back, letting out a schadenfreude laugh.

"You're still laughing!"

Nicole raised her small fist, the Nine-section Turtle Fist was about to land on Chen Xiao'er's head.

But the fist ultimately didn't fall, she was an A-level Psychic Ability User, a Doctor of Psychology, a Criminal Investigation Expert, skilled in Emotion Perception and Mind Reading, yet she was not a combat personnel, unsure of hitting people, while the young man in front of her was indeed a true threat, the blonde girl ultimately showed restraint.

After all, this person even beat the Sky Lord's own son mercilessly, likely not showing any mercy to herself, so rationality eventually prevailed.

"What else can I do but laugh?"

Chen Fei spread his hands, displaying a carefree attitude of being immune to pressure.

The news brought by the blonde girl was not bad news, for him, it was actually good news.

The waters are starting to get muddy.

"Your good deeds have now turned the upper echelons of Habraf upside down!"

Nicole stared hatefully at Chen Fei.

This guy still succeeded, the news she brought must have let him guess, after all, what kind of trouble he had caused for Habraf.

All sovereignties are giving orders to Habraf, not only a large number of them leaving the Global Joint Defense Committee headquarters struggling, but also many orders being contradictory.

Chen Fei put away his smile, hugging his arms, saying, "So now, do you still believe secrets can be kept here?"
