Chapter 720: Chapter 528 Moon New Base (Two in One)

Although the Armstrong Family was wealthy, coming up with such a large sum of money all at once was still very difficult.

Two billion pounds, that was almost all the funds their family could mobilize at the moment.

Adams was starting to wonder if the other party had already conducted thorough research as they named such an exact figure.

Now, even he began to hesitate over whether to go through with the deal.

Two billion in exchange for five years of life seemed like a simple equation.

For ordinary people, it might take several lifetimes to earn two billion, not to mention just five years.

However, it was clear that Count Armstrong was not an ordinary person. Faced with such a proposition, he hesitated only briefly before nodding in agreement.

"Wait, I have one more condition."

Just as the eager old count was about to drink the golden liquid in the bottle, Ji Xiaoqi spoke up from the other side.

"This money, you must pay it all within three days. Otherwise, we will come and take everything back."

Upon hearing this, Adams’s expression narrowed with suspicion. The threat from Ji Xiaoqi was blatant, and it made him uncomfortable.

He could barely remember the last time he had been threatened like this. Was it forty years ago? Or fifty?

At that moment, an aura of authority involuntarily emanated from the old count.

He was like an aging lion king who, even at the end of his life, still possessed unshakable strength.

However, in the next second, an even more terrifying presence burst from the girl.

This presence was different from the count’s authority; it was palpable, instantly causing the heart rates of the ordinary people present to accelerate, and their blood to flow faster.

Adams was inwardly shocked.

Although he had already held the person before him in high regard, he never imagined that just a glance could make him feel as though he was about to suffocate.

Yes, he was genuinely about to suffocate, not just psychologically.

He quickly picked up an oxygen mask and took several deep breaths of oxygen to regain his composure.

"Three days, I will pay all the money," was the first thing the count said after putting down the oxygen mask.

Ji Xiaoqi nodded in satisfaction, retracting the aura of an Awakener.

"I hope you can do as you say and not disappoint us."

She finished speaking and exchanged a glance with Dean. The two of them simultaneously activated their teleportation ability, and a dazzling pattern exploded beneath their feet. Their figures disappeared from the room along with the fading light.

Adams gazed at the spot where they had just been standing, stunned for quite a while before he recovered.

"Sir, they’ve gone. What do you think about this matter..."

The Moore Butler quickly approached, but stopped mid-sentence.

Adams raised a hand to halt him from saying any more.

He knew what this old companion, who had been with him for decades, was about to say. However, he had no desire to discuss it at the moment; his attention was entirely on the potion in his hand.

He carefully opened the cap, gazed at the flowing golden radiance inside, his eyes complex.

About ten seconds later, the count shakily lifted his hand and brought the bottle to his lips, downing it in one gulp.

...

Elsewhere, on the Moon, inside the Dawn.

Suddenly, ten rays of starlight shone on a door panel adorned with strange patterns. A Star Alliance Marker conjured a massive teleportation gate, and Ji Xiaoqi and Dean stepped out of it.

"Uh... that is, Xi He, I’ve been meaning to ask you something..."

Dean hesitantly spoke up.

"What Xi He? The mission is over. You can just call me by my name. It sounds weird to still use code names after returning," Ji Xiaoqi waved her hand dismissively.

"Out with it. What is it?"

Dean reacted, then changed his form of address and asked:

"Ji Xiaoqi, I’ve been worried from the beginning. What if Amstern decides to default on the payment, or tracks us down through our data?"

Dean expressed his concerns in one breath.

To these questions, Ji Xiaoqi was entirely unconcerned.

"Dean, you’re overthinking it. Armstrong is a smart man. After seeing our strength, he knows how to choose. Besides... I don’t think he can default on a debt to the Star Alliance."

"As for the investigation you’re worried about, there’s no need. The Star Lord has a special ability to shield against certain tracking methods to some extent, and now that we have Dawn and the Guleng people’s technology, as long as we don’t wish to be found, no one in this world can find us."

Reflecting on this, Dean nodded thoughtfully, but still looked somewhat concerned.

"But that Moore Butler attended my auction once; he knows where to find us. Won’t that expose our estate branch?"

Ji Xiaoqi scoffed and said:

"So what if he knows where it is? Unless he wants to completely turn against us, he’ll just have to keep that secret to himself. Don’t worry, the Canglan Department companions will take care of what comes next. You need to trust in their abilities."

As the two talked, they had already taken the internal elevator to Dawn’s recreation center.
