Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 736: Section 731 - Refusal

"Hello, I am Chen Fei, from the Chen Family."

Chen Fei's eyes narrowed.

The Lin Family and the Chen Family had close relations, and they didn't consider each other outsiders, so since they had met, they should at least exchange greetings.

According to the bounty list Boss Hana had just sent to Chen Fei, the young man from the Lin Family in front of him was worth at least a hundred million! This was big!

If he could take him down, he could basically retire and enjoy financial freedom for the rest of his life.

"Hello, it seems like there is a story in your eyes."

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and Lin Zikong from the Lin Family perceptively sensed that this Chen Family Disciple seemed to have something on his mind after seeing him.

The Crown Prince of the Slan Dynasty, Lin Zio, pretended not to know and asked, "Oh? What's the good news?"

For some reason, Chen Fei didn't hide anything and said, "I just received a wanted list, Brother Zikong is worth a hundred million."

The brothers in front of him, he couldn't take that billion because he couldn't beat them!

Lin Zio and Lin Zikong looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

The former quite dissatisfiedly said, "A hundred million is too little, it should be at least ten billion!"

He was a member of the Lin Family after all; how could he be so cheap!

However, Crown Prince Lin Zio followed up and asked, "And what about me, Chen Fei?"

Thinking to himself that the Crown Prince was just joining in the fun for no reason, Chen Fei's mouth twitched as he honestly replied, "Not worth a cent!"

Maybe selling the Crown Prince to the Rebel Army could get a few trifles in return, possibly benefiting Minante first, but surely it wouldn't be as valuable as Lin Zikong. The Rebel Army was contesting the world with the Slan Dynasty, where would they get the extra Star Yuan for bonuses.

This thought was only for entertaining his mind and was by no means something he would actually act upon.

Lin Zikong, clapping his brother's shoulder, couldn't stop laughing.

At least he himself could be worth a hundred million, while his brother couldn't even fetch a coin—though he was the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, it was too much of a slight.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said nonchalantly, "What not worth a cent, it's priceless!"

Lin Zio Slan and Lin Ziyu Slan could also be considered members of the Lin Family in some sense, but there was no mention of them on the Blue Star Sovereignty's bounty lists.

After all, the siblings had another layer of identity, and no sovereignty wanted to create trouble for themselves.

Even though many sovereignties on Blue Star had already declared war on the Slan Dynasty of Cangqiong Star, placing a bounty on the future ruler of Cangqiong Star was not very damaging, but it was extremely insulting, and it might provoke the Slan Dynasty to focus all their efforts on a fierce retaliation. Even the most powerful sovereignty on Blue Star couldn't withstand such retribution.

"Crown Prince Brother, you speak golden words, always right!"

Lin Zikong was still laughing uncontrollably, walking arm in arm with Lin Zio, showing no consideration for any sort of hierarchical deference.

The Lin Family was a large one where half-siblings shared a father but had different mothers, and their relationships were very good, without any inequality in status due to their mothers' backgrounds.

But if anyone else dared to make such disrespectful gestures to the Crown Prince of the Slan Dynasty, they would likely be wiped out, to say the least.

After jesting with Crown Prince Brother, Lin Zikong turned his gaze and said, "Chen Fei, could you send me a copy of that bounty list? I want to show it to my other brothers and sisters."

Enjoyment shared is enjoyment doubled, and it would be very interesting for the Lin Family's siblings to see how much they were each valued at.

If it were anyone else daring to make such a disrespectful gesture to the Crown Prince of the Slan Dynasty, wiping out their family would be the least of their concerns.

Lin Zikong still could not stop laughing, slapping Lin Zio's back hard.

He continued to speak to Chen Fei, "Chen Fei, could you send me a copy of that bounty list? I also want to show it to my other brothers and sisters."

As a member of the Lin Family's offspring, he seemed not at all worried and even utterly unconcerned that his entire family was being hunted by the Blue Star Sovereignties, instead showing interest in the bounty list.

"Alright then!"

As requested, Chen Fei immediately sent the bounty list he had just received and hadn't yet had the chance to examine closely to the other's email.

This also meant that they had exchanged their communication numbers at the same time.

What puzzled Chen Fei was that although the Blue Star Sovereignties were hunting the Lin Family, they hadn't blocked the Lin Family members' communication numbers; functions like calls and emails could still be used normally, whether they were being tapped or monitored, who knows.

Lin Zikong cheerfully opened his email, looking at his family members' bounty amounts, occasionally exclaiming in surprise or shouting in shock.

"This is really interesting! Holy smokes, the old man got hung up on a debt of ten billion, I'd love to make a fortune off this one."

Such a rebellious son!

Crown Prince Lin Zio still held the bracelet-type Space Series Alchemy Storage Device in his hand and said to Chen Fei, "Aren't you going to take it? No worries, this thing can't be lost!"

He guessed the reason why Chen Fei had yet to accept it.

Actually, even if it was lost or damaged, the Silan Royal Family wouldn't really hold anyone accountable. After all, losses in battle are quite normal.

"Forget it! I can't afford to compensate!"

Chen Fei shook his head and declined once again. The idea of incurring debt terrified him.

His younger sister had been tricked, saddling the family with a debt of five million Star Yuan. As her brother, he had no choice but to journey far from home to repay it. Now that he had finally settled the debt, if anything happened to this alchemical storage artifact, he would never be able to afford the compensation.

This time it was lost, luckily, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found it through the curse magic preset on the device. What about next time?

One can't always rely on others and luck, right?

"What will you do then?"

Crown Prince Lin Zio also knew that Chen Fei's combat abilities heavily depended on the Space Series Alchemy Storage Device.

Without the support of this bracelet-type Space Series Alchemy Storage Device, his fighting capability would drop to the level of an ordinary B-grade supernatural power user, maybe even less than those with combat-oriented Psi Skills of the same rank.

"Tweet!"

Little Bird was released, standing curiously on Chen Fei's hand and looking around.

Chen Fei flicked one of the leg rings on Xiao Jiu's paw. It was an extremely deceiving Space Series Alchemy Storage Device, especially after professional disguise treatment, making it even harder to discern.

Then, he conjured up a bracelet identical to the one in the Crown Prince's hand out of thin air and fastened it on his wrist, costing him 1 Energy Point. This Dog System that excels in "mathematics" and "music" is truly a rip-off.

Even without having "sacrificed" the original, after wearing it for so long, he was already intimately familiar with its size and surface pattern.

"Eh? What is this?"

Seeing Chen Fei's maneuver, the Crown Prince's gaze shifted back and forth between the high-quality imitation on the other's left wrist and the genuine piece in his own hands.

He clearly didn't want it yet conjured up a fake one, what was the reasoning behind this?

Of course, he wouldn't think that Chen Fei could create Space Series Alchemy Storage Devices, as that was highly technical work.

To this day, the Blue Star Civilization still can't produce these themselves, relying entirely on exports from the Cangqiong Star, which shows the difficulty of crafting a Space Series Alchemy Storage Device. It wasn't just the stringent demands of alchemy craftsmanship but also the supply of rare materials. Even with the official power of the Slan Dynasty's collection efforts, it was still very limited.

"Tactical deception!"

Chen Fei did not spill the beans, but this high-quality replica bracelet was indeed designed to deceive clever people, serving as camouflage to protect the secret on the back of his hand.

The big boss, Louis Landon, had somehow managed to form a special team of supernatural power users who left a mark on Chen Fei's hand that connected to a massive storage space, mirroring the ingenuity of the Space Series Alchemy Storage Devices from Cangqiong Star Civilization.

Lin Zio offered generously, "How about... I just give this to you as a gift?"

As the Crown Prince of the Slan Dynasty, the heir to the supreme imperial authority, the entire Cangqiong Star would one day be his dominion, and a mere Space Series Alchemy Storage Device really didn't count for much. Giving it as a gift wasn't a big deal, he could easily afford it.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, let alone a Space Series Alchemy Storage Device given away for free. Chen Fei shook his head and refused, "Thank you, but I can't accept!"

If it weren't for the "Spatial Branding" on his hand, he would probably have accepted the gift without hesitation.

Even with the "Spatial Branding," the price Chen Fei had to pay was to fight to the death with the Parasitic Species, which is what he had been doing all along anyway.

"Alright! If you ever change your mind, I'm available anytime to give it to you!"

Lin Zio didn't make a fuss and took the Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemical Storage Magical Artifact back.

Although he didn't understand Chen Fei's intentions, he chose to respect the other's wishes.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how did you come to be here?"

Chen Fei steered the conversation back to the original topic.

This was Zhai Liuzhou, where a rebellion was underway, and the situation was still unclear. If it were someone else, he could understand their presence.

But the person least expected to be here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was here nonetheless.
