Chapter 567: Chapter 347: Heart of Sky Base (Five in One)_7

Kogis dismissively said,

"The Clan Leader speaks wisely, it was a needless worry on my part."

"No worries, it’s the thought that counts."

"Actually, Clan Leader, there’s another matter I need help with on this visit."

After the formalities, Gotten spoke with a smile on his face.

Kogis, having listened to Gotten, narrowed his eyes and replied,

"You’re being too formal, what kind of relationship do we have? We’re not blood brothers, but we’re as close as if we were. Just say what you need!"

"Well, I’ll speak plainly then, Lord Kogis! The Heart of Sky Base project our corporate group has been constructing has been completed for over fifty years now. There’s still 40% of the final payment left, totaling 42 trillion Dark Star credits, what do you think..."

Gotten said cheerily.

"Oh, come on, Brother Gotten, what’s our relationship! If I had the money, wouldn’t I pay? It’s just that I’m broke."

"Clan Leader, you must be joking. How could you possibly be out of money?"

"I really am broke, don’t let the fancy food fool you. I knew you were coming and prepared specially. Normally I survive on energy bars."

Kogis blatantly lied.

Hearing this, Gotten’s smile stiffened slightly,

"You’re really joking, Clan Leader. The Heart of Sky Base has been running for over fifty years, and I heard it’s doing quite well."

"Nonsense, it’s really not doing well. Those lowlifes below have been using the energy and not paying up. I’m hardly making ends meet," Kogis flatly denied.

Gotten’s lips twitched, not believing a word Kogis said.

Who among the lowlifes would dare owe the Empire money? And since when has the Dark Star Empire been so benevolent as to credit energy to the lowlifes?

Clearly, this guy just doesn’t want to pay.

But this was within Gotten’s expectations. He extended three fingers and said with a smile,

"Clan Leader, please, think of some way. If you can make this payment, we are willing to offer these figures as a tribute to you!"

Kogis, seeing Gotten extend three fingers, immediately put on a different face and said,

"This is a bit difficult, but not impossible, it’s just..."

"Just what? Please, feel free to speak," Gotten asked anxiously.

This time coming to discuss the final payment, Gotten already brought the utmost sincerity, a kickback of thirty percent of the final payment—trillions of Dark Star credits. If this couldn’t be settled, it would be troublesome.

"Lord Gotten, don’t be nervous, it’s just a trivial matter. I’ve heard that the young ladies of the Shenji Family are as beautiful as heavenly beings and possess extraordinary demeanor. I really admire them and wish to know if I might have the honor of forming a connection?"

Kogis asked with a grin.

Hearing this, Gotten’s eyelids twitched violently, and he awkwardly said,

"Lord Kogis, you’re joking with me again. Haven’t you been married for a long time, and don’t you have not just a primary wife but also over twenty concubines?"

"That’s not an issue. As long as I can marry a lady from the Shenji Family, I’m willing to divorce right away!" Kogis shamelessly declared.

"Then, Lord Kogis, may I ask which lady of our family caught your eye?" Gotten asked, holding back his displeasure.

"I’ve heard that the seventh daughter is quite exceptional!" Kogis said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gotten almost jumped to his feet. This guy was really going for broke, setting his sights on the seventh daughter.

Although there were many daughters in the family available for marriage alliances, not just anyone could be considered. The seventh daughter was the beloved jewel of the Clan Leader, and this guy didn’t even reflect on whether he was worthy.
