Chapter 1449 - Not As Mysterious As It Seems (1/2)

They were all talking about many things but their root topic was focused on and about Braveheart. Nobody knew who Jiang Fei was yet but they were all talking about him, not directly, but in some form. It was the kind of hot topic that crowds would pay attention to.

These folks… they were all born with silver spoons sticking out of their butts when they were born. They had absolutely nothing to be worried about, except finding out means to earn more, spend more. If they were being honest, they had nothing to live for, nothing to expect of tomorrow. Luxury in terms of the materialistic aspect had been conquered; that was what they could control. The only thing that they sought out more was to own the grand and the rare, to own such things in order to make themselves stand out. A thing that was so special yet fails to be useful in any other way than to make one’s presence known to all. Such an item would be Braveheart, a ship that was created 10,000 years ago by a civilization that was now extinct.

When Braveheart first entered the planet, many had set eyes on it. People like Wagner had even traveled from a distant galaxy just to feast their eyes on such a rare physical ship from the past.

“I’ve waited long enough. Lucius, where is the buyer?”

“Are you clowning us as payback for not inviting you along on the previous trip?”

“Don’t think that you’re invincible now that you have befriended someone better. We can still do things that will scar you for life!”

“Befriended someone? Like who?”

“You didn’t know? Lucius and Rais had befriended a new member of the federation. I have no idea how he does it really…”

“New member? There are too many to count. Who is it?”

“I don’t blame you for not knowing what’s going on out there. You have been spending too much time in the Red Mansion, squeezing yourself in between Ronaby girls.”

“Mhm. Just so you know, Ronaby girls are just the best. Their long ears and legs are kinda my fetish!”

When Jiang Fei came in, everyone was still pestering Lucius to reveal the identity of the seller. However, as expected of the lecherous folks, the topic of conversation shifted from the ship, to Lucius, and then, to adulterous recreational play.

“It’s Fourth Brother.”

“Fourth Brother, come, come! Join the fray! We are pestering this bastard to reveal the seller’s name!”

Everyone in the mansion stood up when Wagner came in after Jiang Fei. One could quickly tell that Wagner must be someone prominent enough to have such a reaction from the mass.

“Heh. Do you still want to know who the seller is? Or should I just…” Wagner teased. He scanned the room for an empty seat and waltzed over nonchalantly.

“Huh? What is he saying?”

“Fourth Brother, do you know who the seller is?”

“Let me cut to the chase. Not only did I meet with the seller, but we have also already come to an agreement about the price,” Wagner said after he took a sip of a glowing liquid from an odd-looking cup.

Jiang Fei sighed awkwardly as he understood that his cover was blown.

“Har? How did you buy the ship when none of us has ever seen even the shadow of the seller?”

“I haven’t bought the ship yet. Nevertheless, I’ve offered up a price so high that none of you can outbid me,” Wagner said confidently.

“Who is the seller then?”

“Yeah! We want to know!”

“Oh! I guess you do not know him yet. Come, Brother Jiang Fei, please let yourself be known,” Wagner raised his glass and gestured toward Jiang Fei who was standing nearby.

“What gave me away?” Jiang Fei said softly as he tried to hide his embarrassment. He was not used to this sort of fancy gathering. He would be fine if he was in the center of a battlefield, surrounded by warriors cheering for him, but not this. Everything about it felt… pretentious.

“Jiang Fei… Where have I heard this name…”
