Chapter 51: The Late Viscount, Section 5

The viscount punched through the hull of the virtual puppet’s ship…
Don’t ask how he did it—this was simply the outcome. And if it weren’t for the virtual puppet’s advanced self-protection system, most of the warriors present would have been killed in that strike.
After all, outside the ship’s hull was the vacuum of space. No matter how tough the Blood Wolf warriors’ bodies were, they were still humans. To survive in such an environment was already a miracle. So when the virtual puppet arrived at Death Star the next day, almost all the warriors stepped off the ship with pale faces. Behind them, on Death Star’s most advanced warships, damage appeared for the first time—a huge hole over 300 meters in diameter…
Unfortunately, this hole wasn’t caused by the enemy.
Back on Death Star, Black Hair saw the familiar Mirror Lake again, instantly lifting his spirits. He took OldOld Buick on a tour of the entire planet. Death Star’s fairy-tale-like scenery left the old man in awe and amazement. Seeing the respect shown to Black Hair by the planet’s inhabitants, he finally realized: the young man he had saved back then had truly become a revered lord, and this indescribably beautiful planet was his territory.
By God, OldOld Buick never imagined he would one day come to such a beautiful planet, owning a vast estate with a lovely lake and beautiful mountains nearby. The green grass swayed in the breeze, and the air seemed to carry the scent of water. A picturesque blue sky was dotted with clouds, while he lay in a reclining chair below. Anything he wanted could be brought to him with just a word. Even rare foods from thousands of miles away could be delivered by special transport ships. Such a life was simply…
It was a crime!!
OldOld Buick thought dreamily, drooling, unaware that his behavior had already caught others’ attention. But out of respect for Black Hair, no one dared laugh at him.
“It’s… so… so beautiful…” After wandering most of the planet with Black Hair like in a daze, OldOld Buick finally spoke, his voice sounding like a dream whisper.
“Is this real? A planet like this… is it your territory?”

“Of course. There’s nothing strange about that. After all, this is a real world. As long as you put in enough effort, anyone can enjoy such treatment.” Blackhair replied with a smile while driving the off-road motorcycle in front of him. At this moment, he was no longer a majestic lord but more like a child playing in front of an elder. All the past coldness had vanished without a trace, replaced by a cheerful smile.

However, not many people could see such an expression. On Death Star, no—within the Blood Wolf faction, only Blackhair showed such an unrestrained demeanor. It was only UncleOld Buick, Sulei, and Lily from the past who could see it… Apart from them, others saw only a cold Wolf King.

But in UncleOld Buick’s eyes, this wasn’t anything special. In fact, UncleOld Buick had been busy his entire life, spending most of his later years taking care of his subordinates’ children. Xieke Planet was a cruel world; those without a faction’s protection simply couldn’t survive, even those at the bottom of society, like scavengers. Although UncleOld Buick’s factory wasn’t anything special, it was still a well-equipped processing plant, supporting many people.

That’s why there were always young people around UncleOld Buick. Some of them were strong and intimidating-looking. But no one knew how weak they were when they first joined him. Every year, UncleOld Buick rescued hundreds of children from the streets. His kindness ranked among the top in the entire Xieke Planet.

But as Blackhair said, this was a real world. So despite always working hard for those children and raising them, in the end, only 762 of them remained by his side, most of whom were still children.

One thing to note is that each of these 762 people deeply admired UncleOld Buick and could be considered his die-hard followers. Even if UncleOld Buick ordered them to die, none would dare question it. So until the end, he never thought of giving them up. Even when Blackhair invited him and left his future uncertain, he still made sure to arrange a path for them.

He just didn’t expect… that the outcome would be so good. Living and working on such a beautiful planet was simply a luxury!! OldOld Buick thought he was well-informed, but even in the richest family in the town of Kucaire, one could never see such beauty. Was this really a planet? Even the lord’s backyard probably wasn’t this beautiful.

At these thoughts, OldOld Buick could hold back no longer. He apologized to Black Hair for his previous misunderstanding. The old man trembled as he placed a hand on Black Hair’s shoulder, his face full of remorse.

Seeing this, Black Hair simply waved his hand nonchalantly. “You don’t need to do this. It’s nothing. You saved my life. I’m just repaying the favor. Where I used to live, those who failed to repay kindness were despised by everyone. Though I’m not a great person, I still understand this principle. And you’re wrong about one thing. Death Star is beautiful, but it’s not where they work. Their workplace is on another planet.”

“Another planet? You have another planet?” OldOld Buick was stunned, his mouth falling open. No one had ever told him this before.

This was OldOld Buick’s own matter. Perhaps because of his special status, despite being on Death Star for days, no one dared to say anything to him, let alone tell him anything about life there. So until now, although he had accepted that Black Hair was a lord, he still thought he only ruled this one planet. Hearing Black Hair say this suddenly naturally shocked him.

But Black Hair was already used to such reactions. After all, he wasn’t someone who liked to show off. Though these forces seemed vast in others’ eyes, there was no need to mention them specifically. It was only because OldOld Buick brought it up suddenly that he mentioned the arrangements Su Lei had made.

“There are indeed a few more planets,” Black Hair replied calmly in the face of OldOld Buick’s surprise. “But those were developed later. The environment there is definitely a bit worse than that of Death Star. As for your children, I plan to place them on Twin Planets.”

“A bit worse… it’s only a bit worse…” Hearing Black Hair’s answer, OldOld Buick became confused and lost in thought, repeating the description over and over. It wasn’t until Black Hair had walked away some distance that he suddenly snapped out of it.

“Wait, what did you say? Twin Planets?”

“Mm, Twin Planets,” Black Hair nodded honestly.

“That’s the biggest twin commercial star, said to be able to mobilize all known resources in the universe… Gemini?” DadOld Buick’s eyes widened even more as he stared at the black-haired man, as if looking at a monster.
“That Gemini is yours!?”
“Yes, it is mine.” The black-haired man touched his nose, looking puzzled. “But I’ve never heard of it being the biggest commercial star or capable of mobilizing all known resources. Moreover, though those two planets are under my name, I’m not in charge of managing them. It’s Koko who oversees them.”
“Koko!!!”
Hearing this name, DadOld Buick was even more shocked; he suddenly jumped up from his seat. “Koko, the Ganluo man!!!?”
“Yes,” nodded the black-haired man.
“My God… what kind of monster are you…?” Staring at the black-haired man in astonishment, DadOld Buick was speechless.
In fact, though he knew little about the black-haired man’s achievements, he was very familiar with this Ganluo man, Koko. The richest merchant in the universe, a genius who changed the fate of the Ganluo people, a great strategist, a tycoon who controlled nearly 50% of humanity’s resources. A man whose mere step could shake the entire human society. In DadOld Buick’s mind, his twin commercial star was like a sacred temple. As a small merchant from the lower classes, Koko’s name was almost equivalent to God in DadOld Buick’s ears.
And such a person was actually the companion of this young man he had saved? From the moment he heard the black-haired man’s words, DadOld Buick felt as if he were in a dream. He was completely paralyzed.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible to continue the tour. The black-haired man had no choice but to stop the off-road bike, carry DadOld Buick to a beautiful lake nearby, and massage him while giving him water to drink, helping DadOld Buick catch his breath.
Lying on the green and soft grass, DadOld Buick’s first words upon waking were…
“If you’re not lying to me, if you’re not trying to cheer me up. If… well, whatever. Take me to see him right away. I want to see with my own eyes what the myth among merchants looks like.”

“A myth among merchants? Koko?” Black Hair touched his nose, clearly unimpressed by OldOld Buick’s overreaction. But since his savior had said so, he couldn’t refuse. After all, the Twin Stars of Commerce wasn’t a place that needed to be kept secret, so it would be fine to take OldOld Buick there. It had been a long time since he’d been there himself as well. He could take this opportunity to settle matters regarding OldOld Buick’s children as well. Surely Koko must have already received the news and prepared enough space?
With that thought, Black Hair didn’t linger any longer and gently pressed the communicator on his wrist. Five minutes later, the sky suddenly darkened, and a massive warship broke through the clouds, appearing above them…
