Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 719: Section 714 - Pushing the Princess Because of an Itchy Hand

Making money wasn't supposed to be like this.

Moreover, if Blue Star's military contractors kept intervening in Cangqiong Star's military affairs, what would the local mercenary corps think? They'd probably shoot him in the back for crossing territories and stealing business.

"So, what are you staying for?"

Minante's face darkened. Not leaving, not cooperating—did "Rookie" intend to be a thorn in their side? Maybe he was aiming for an official position within the Silan Dynasty!

"You know!"

Chen Fei looked around and said no more.

Ever since he realized some might be collaborating with the Parasitic Species, he began to be cautious of strangers nearby. Even if they weren't parasitized, who knew which pair of eyes might be watching him?

"I understand what... Parasitic Species?"

Minante didn't finish his sentence and suddenly lowered his voice. He wasn't a fool and was acutely aware of the mission Chen Fei was currently on.

Because of these extraterrestrial races, the Restoration Army had suffered the loss of two legions, and the area around Nandu City had been turned upside down. Even Minante himself had almost gotten beaten up.

This "Rookie" was incredibly brazen.

"My goal has been clear from the beginning."

Chen Fei hadn't taken on anyone's commission. The threat of the extraterrestrial races was against everyone, not just him. He wasn't the type to be content while others suffered, nor did he adopt an "after me, the deluge" attitude.

The Silan Dynasty and the Rebel Army—even the current Blue Star Sovereignty—didn't have the spare capacity to deal with these Parasitic Species seriously. Perhaps in the eyes of the powerful, the situation hadn't deteriorated to such an extent. Viewing the Parasitic Species as a minor annoyance, they possibly expected them to wipe themselves out. If two civilized planets were considered as two ecological circles with their own immune systems, it wasn't easy for an invasive virus or bacterium to cause an epidemic.

Now, the only ones capable of doing something were him and the contingencies left behind by the great Louis Landon.

If Lord Louis hadn't lacked combat abilities, he probably would have rolled up his sleeves and joined the frontline himself. Even now, they provided top-level Conceptual Armaments, professional intelligence teams, formidable high-end combat support, and the most fearless Dead Soldiers. All possible resources were open for supply, and Lord Louis unleashed almost his full financial firepower.

Although Chen Fei hadn't received a penny in monetary rewards, he had gained top-level logistics support. The defeat of the two legions of the Rebel Army was not at all unjustified.

"You're incredible!"

Because of the difference in stance, Minante couldn't offer Chen Fei much help and could only give a thumbs up.

Though millions oppose, I go forth. He was always worthy of admiration.

"You have to support me more."

Chen Fei naturally wouldn't let go of this local snake.

Now, in the area around Nandu City, the "Radiant Tiger" Legion reigned supreme. With the relationship of his uncle, the Legion Commander, even if Minante's words weren't absolutely effective, they weren't far off.

"Sure thing!"

Minante feared that if he so much as hinted at a 'no,' he'd find himself on the receiving end of a thorough beating on the spot. It was clear from the other party's audacious behavior that he would do it.

Making friends was indeed a tricky business!

The vehicles of those who had been accounted for started up and headed toward the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in an impressive convoy.

The Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in the suburbs of Nandu City had already prepared for their arrival, adopting a defensive posture and activating the Protective Barrier ahead of time, fearing that the "Radiant Tiger" Legion would launch a surprise attack under the guise of an escort.

When the convoy arrived, only a small passage large enough for a single person was opened near the ground level of the Protective Barrier as a window for handover. They also checked identifications, and more than five hundred people congested one corner within the Barrier.

Once they passed through the Protective Barrier, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

Many people lost their composure, throwing away their baggage, shouting and jumping, their cheers rising and falling in waves. The Defensive Soldiers and staff at the Gate Management Substation also clapped their hands, congratulating them for finally escaping safely from the dangerous place and truly being safe now.

Especially the members of the Blue Star Business Delegation who had survived many life-threatening situations, many cried tears of joy, and prior to this moment, they had even prepared their wills, worried they would never return.

"...539, 540, 541, 542, hmm, all present… Huh!!!"

The Ground Portal Gate Management Substation staff responsible for the handover were about to report that the list of the first batch of evacuating citizens was complete when Chen Fei smiled and nodded at Minante, then casually pushed… Princess Lin Ziyu stumbled a few steps involuntarily and was pushed into the Protective Barrier.

Smiling faces that were up to no good—a true reflection of reality.

"What are you..."

Minante didn't grasp the gravity of Chen Xiao'er's action. He hadn't realized the seriousness of such a casual push.

This wasn't the first time this guy's hands had acted on their own, and people had grown used to his antics.

"You didn't see anything, did you?"

Chen Fei maintained his smile, which didn't change. Then he looked towards the personnel responsible for the handover at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation. The latter's neck hairs stood on end involuntarily, "What the hell does this mean? Why does this smile seem so creepy, as if he's about to devour someone?"

There were supposed to be 542 citizens of Blue Star, so how come there's an extra one now? Something doesn't add up!

Such an unexpected change inevitably aroused suspicion.

"..."

The baffling move by Chen Fei left Minante puzzled as to his intentions.

A thin Protective Barrier represented the legal territorial boundary between Cangqiong Star and Blue Star, one step onto Blue Star, another onto Cangqiong Star, a matter that could be of little or great significance.

"Alright, you should pull back now."

Chen Fei pushed his completely baffled friend away. He couldn't be bothered to explain. In fact, not explaining was better—it was for Minante's good, after all, ignorance is bliss!

Right under the very nose of the other party, Her Royal Highness the Princess from the Silan Dynasty had entered the diplomatic territory of Blue Star Sovereignty without any formalities.

"Dammit, to discard someone once they've served their purpose, you're ruthless!"

Minante waved his hands irritably at the people he had brought along.

He finally saw how ruthless Chen Fei could be and wanted to end their friendship (but was afraid of getting beaten up)!

"We're pulling out, we're pulling out."

He hadn't gone far when he turned back, and this action made Chen Fei's heart leap again.

"Hey! 'Rookie,' are you coming for dinner tonight? Barbecue, and good wine too."

"Of course, I'll come, and fry me a pound of stinky tofu."

"Go to hell!"

Minante left furiously with his group, not even bothering to invite Chen Fei to get in the car.

"Heh heh!"

Watching the departing convoy, Chen Fei let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness no one took it seriously because if they did, it would have been quite a mess.

"That, 'Rookie,' who is this...?"

The Protective Barrier of the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation still left a door for Chen Fei. The personnel inside, looking at Princess Lin Ziyu from the Silan Dynasty and then at Chen Fei, appeared troubled.

They agreed to evacuate the citizens of Blue Star, so why was there an extra person not on the list? Even though it was a last-minute addition, there had to be some explanation.

Beep!

Cangqiong Star People.

Without needing to show any identification, the artificial intelligence AI automatically recognized the identity of Princess Lin Ziyu.

An Investigative Agent from the Imperial Security Department of the Slan Dynasty, Yu Zilin.

And the Little Bird tilting its small head, looking around on her shoulder—the Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu, registered at the Magical Beast Management Center on Blue Star.

There was no issue with the bird, but there was a problem with the person.

Seeing the identity information confirmed at first sight, the worker glanced at the tablet in his hand and then back at Chen Fei incredulously.

In front of the Rebel Army, he had sent an opposing Investigative Agent right into the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation; such an action was audacious in the extreme. Was he not afraid that the two sides would break into a fight on the spot once more?

"You can report it and suggest that the matter be verified with the Slan Dynasty through diplomatic channels. Don't ask any more questions about anything else; the fewer people know, the better. If you do something unnecessary, you might be silenced."

As Chen Fei spoke, he stepped into the gap in the Protective Barrier.

The narrow gap that allowed only one person to pass quickly closed behind him. The Barrier was restored, intact and without a single flaw.

His contract with the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation was not yet over, so he didn't need extra authorization to enter the Protective Barrier. The artificial intelligence AI automatically recognized and allowed him access, as simple as coming home.

"Got it, got it, don't scare me."

In the end, no amount of talking could counteract the terror of the word "silenced." The handover personnel immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his back soaked through, as he hurriedly shifted his attention back to the task at hand.

In diplomacy, there is no such thing as a small matter, especially when it involves the diplomatic incidents between civilized planets. The consequences of overstepping, "silencing" was indeed not an exaggeration; after all, diplomatic immunity, a provision that literally permits killing without consequences, does exist.

"Come here, Little Chen, come over here."

Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Mr. Randon, the CEO of Louis Industrial Company, waved at Chen Fei, and it seemed there were even more people guarding him.

"Is there something you need, Mr. Randon?"

Chen Fei noticed the unfamiliar faces around Louis Landon, faces he hadn't seen before at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation.

But the bodyguards acted as if they saw nothing, most likely they were their own people, having possibly come through the Dimensional Gate from Blue Star.

The moment Louis Landon set foot in the area of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, the security forces were immediately strengthened.

"Thank you for everything you've done. I want to give you a gift."

Louis Landon gestured with a smile.

More than a dozen people rushed up and firmly pinned down Chen Fei, completely immobilizing him. He felt a slight pain in his neck and heard a low shout near his ear.

"Don't move!"

A shot of tranquilizer made Chen Xiao'er's eyes blur, and in his last moment of clarity, he mumbled to himself.

With a smile on his face that was no good sign at all!
