the days before i bought the galaxy

Warren's new airship caused a little stir at the banquet, and even the administrator expressed his desire for an identical airship.Warren rebuffed everyone's request with diplomatic reasons. Normally, gifts given to people on earth by alien civilizations are not allowed to be easily transferred.

As the head of the Federation of Free Chambers of Commerce, whose total assets exceed those of everyone present, Warren finds that his popularity has reached a new level.Sometimes he paid extravagantly, covering all the cost of the construction of Midgard's new airport in one sentence, and sometimes he didn't take out a dime, which rarely shut the door of the administrator who hinted at asking for bribes.All these shrewd and decisive moves became part of his personal charm.After people gradually got to know Warren Slim, the upper class of Midgard began to split into several factions.About a quarter privately expressed interest in joining or being friends with the coalition, and a quarter saw Warren as an enemy and a disruptor of the established system.To Warren's surprise, the remaining half didn't care how the business was doing, but were more interested in his private life.This gave Warren a new understanding of the rich N generation that these generations have accumulated.

"You're rich, but that's not why I want to be friends with you."

Under the soft light, the young man's face was glowing with a faint pink.This is a rather charming young man, between the age of a man and a boy, it is said that his family is inextricably linked with the largest family in Midgard, and he has lived a life of food and clothing since he was born .Warren thinks it's also fun to occasionally talk to someone who's fun and not phony.

"Some local emperors living in remote areas also have unimaginable wealth," the young man continued, "but their lives are poorer than reptiles. For me, as long as I have enough money to enjoy my current life That's enough, that's why I've left most of my estates in trust companies. What a dull job for a man of real taste!"

"So, Bingham, what exactly made you decide to befriend me?" Warren raised his glass and nodded at the administrator who happened to be looking in his direction.

"It's how serious you are about your relationship that impresses me. I heard that you are devoted to each lover and never betray them. To tell you the truth, we are quite similar in this regard." Before Lun, this young man named Bingham had already drank a lot, but neither his actions nor his speech showed a trace of drunkenness. The effect of alcohol only made him look more red-faced, or quite delicious.

"Oh?" Warren raised an eyebrow noncommittally.He felt that the few people standing around Lan were a little too close, but now Lan was not as rigid as before, and even learned to communicate with him and complain with his eyes.

"It's probably a genetic problem. Most people in our family are very specific, but unfortunately, this precious character is becoming more and more difficult to find now. The people around me are either for my money or for my money. I got some other benefits from myself. I had two lovers, but they both betrayed me. Sometimes I think, maybe in the end, I will end up so sad that I can only spend my life with a lifelong slave." Bingham sighed "I mean, it's hard in this world to find a lover who is devoted to each other. Don't you have that trouble, Mr. Slim? Maybe...I mean maybe...maybe we can be very good A couple? To be honest, I am quite confident in my appearance, I think maybe you need someone with a good taste in life by your side?"

"I don't think that's impossible."

Warren's words made Bingham's eyes light up.

"If only you could have the same talents as my other lovers."

Bingham frowned: "Forgive me, I didn't see that you are a utilitarian before. Can only useful people stay by your side? Could it be that my background, appearance, temperament and good conduct can't serve me well?" Extra points?"

"I believe that only equal wisdom can lead to the possibility of communication, and a relationship without communication is not secure. Some people like to pour their love on a canary, but I am not such a person." Wo Len smiled.

"I feel insulted! How can you be sure that I don't have the talent to match yours?" The young man was a little annoyed.

"I can't be sure without seeing it with my own eyes." Warren smiled. "So if you are willing to join the league and work hard for it, maybe I will consider admiring your talent."

"Work?" Bingham froze for a second, chewed the word, and then couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Slim, you are really the best salesman in the world! Thank you for your suggestion, although the result and Odin Tell me differently, but maybe I'll actually give it a try."

"Odin? What did Odin tell you?" Warren suppressed his nervousness.

"It was at a summer dinner, and I asked him what he thought of me, was there a chance of being one of your lovers, and he said I was your type. He was the most attractive half-man I've ever met." Bingham recalled.

"What else? What else are you talking about?"

"We've all been in the Prokaryon, so I told him about some of the latest fads from the Prokaryon. By the way, he said he's going on a long mission, and he's leaving before you get there. "

That damned fox!The kidnapping was really planned by him!

Warren guessed that the person who kidnapped Odin would not care that he had contact with Bingham, a local, so Odin would leave clues through Bingham.

"anything else?"

"It's impolite to ask what your lover says in private." Bingham smiled slyly, "But Odin asked me to tell you something."

Warren watched the young man's lips closely, for fear of missing any information.

"He said, watch out for Patrick."

"Patrick?" Warren frowned.

The Patrick family is one of the six major families. It started with genetic technology and biotechnology, and has always been a subsidiary family of Silver Shield.Why did Odin suddenly bring it up?

"That's what he said. Everyone said that everyone in Patrick's family is crazy and likes to do cruel living experiments. It's kind of scary to think about it." Probably thinking of some terrible picture, Bingham's face showed Disgusted look.

"Are there any Patricks in Midgard?"

"As far as I know, no! There are very few people in Patrick's family. They mainly rely on selling new technology to make money. Planets or spaceships are dispensable things for them. Every piece of Patrick's family's patented The product will be handed over to the Patrick family for a little technology royalty, so it seems that what they are doing is really an industry whose profits far exceed ordinary trade!"

"indeed so."

If I remember correctly, one of the earliest technologies of Patrick's family was the half-human production technology, and the extensive use of half-humans made the family one of the top big families.When Odin mentioned Patrick's family, would it be related to this?

"Ah! The administrator is going to announce a reward!" Bingham leaned close to Warren's ear and whispered, "Actually, I think, compared with those of us who get nothing for nothing, the 'labor' of pirates is quite worth the reward. Tell me quietly You, here, as far as I know, there are at least six or seven people who raise pirates in private, which are specially used to attack their competitors or conduct illegal transactions. It’s just that these pirates have robbed the richest group of people now, so everyone That’s why it looks so disgusting.”

Warren nodded, approving of Bingham's words.

Not far away, the administrator tapped his cup and began to announce his reward on the pirates who had been rampant recently through the loudspeaker.The amount of the reward offered was not high, but more of a reputation reward, which was in line with the administrator's usual stinginess.

Warren guessed that not many people would really take the initiative to search for this group of pirates. The opponent's equipment is too sophisticated, and a large chamber of commerce with standing force will not be able to extract too many people at once, but there are too few spaceships to go and they may be taken by others. , so maybe only mercenaries would be interested in this bounty.Even if the opponent cannot be eliminated, the bounty for finding the pirate's lair is quite high, enough to attract most mercenaries who are not rich.

Montgart said he would consider sending Ferret, who had a [-] percent success rate on reconnaissance missions, if he had to.However, Warren is still a little hesitant. The background of "Grand Rogue" may not be simple. If something happens to his adopted son in Odin's absence, Odin will definitely ridicule him when he returns.

It is impossible for this group of pirates to grow up out of thin air, someone must have given them financial support.

Who on earth is it?

Warren's eyes wandered through the crowd, and suddenly met someone's sight unexpectedly.

Suddenly stunned!

Why did L, who was expelled by Odin, appear in this place?

After returning, Warren specifically asked Alexander Cavendish about L's whereabouts, but even Alexander didn't know where L was. L seemed to disappear out of thin air, bringing his evolutionary species Brian and Warren with him. Vera, the female mechanic sent to monitor him. (Warren has reason to believe that perhaps the latter has been destroyed by L.)

Why did L come to Midgard?

Who is he playing for this time?

Warren and L exchanged glances and made a tacit agreement to find another place to talk after the banquet.
