Chapter 1687 Nine-Star Black Check
Chapter 1687: Nine-Star Black Check Chapter 1687: Nine-Star Black Check Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Brother, he called us poor!” Luke Yates exclaimed, clearly irked.
Braydon Neal remained calm and expressionless.
“We’re new here.
It’s best if we keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble.” “Got it!” Luke said, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he drew his sword and charged after the starship, swinging at it.
Swoosh!
With a single slash, the sky was cut through, and the starship, which was a hundred meters long, was cleaved in half. The sword in Luke’s hand was a path artifact, far more powerful than a regular treasure, having cost him eight million battle merits.
Inside the starship, the purple-haired young man was so frightened he lost control of himself. This was the Milky Way Empire’s territory. Why was he being attacked? Who was responsible?
Panicked, the young man quickly donned his battle armor and held a special talisman, scanning for the threat. His eyes eventually landed on Luke, who was still brandishing the sword.
The young man was livid and bewildered. “What the hell is this?
Why attack me without reason?
Are you out of your mind?
Who are you?” he shouted angrily.
“I’m a greenhorn!” Luke replied, ready to continue his assault.
Swoosh!
Braydon stepped in, calmly grabbing the back of Luke’s head as if he were handling a misbehaving pet. “I specifically told you to keep a low profile.
We’re new here.” His tone was more indulgent than reproachful, as if this was a minor inconvenience rather than a serious issue.
“I want him!” Luke protested, kicking his legs in frustration.
The purple-haired youth’s face turned pale as he clutched his heart, lamenting the loss of his starship, which had cost him a million star coins.
It was destroyed just like that!
Now he had to compensate for it.
At the same time, a squad of 100 guards from the Milky Way Empire arrived. They were clad in silver armor, and the bearded man leading them shouted authoritatively, “Private fights are prohibited in the Milky Way Empire.
Violators will be severely punished!” “Captain Jarboe, I don’t even know these two bumpkins.
They destroyed my starship with one slash!
Hurry up and arrest them!” The purple-haired youth looked to the guards as his saviors, though he noticed their captain’s cultivation seemed somewhat lacking—only at the holy master realm.
In the current Northern Army, life and death realm was the standard. Kenai Jarboe, the bearded captain, looked at Braydon and Luke, his gaze narrowing as he realized he couldn’t discern their cultivation levels. This meant their cultivation was higher than his.
Kenai frowned and said, “The Milky Way Empire has its own rules.
Regardless of the reason, if you damage something in a private fight, you will be required to pay the full price of the damage plus a fine.” “And how much is that?” Braydon asked.
Kenai replied bluntly, “For destroying a starship and other items, the fine ranges from 100,000 to 1,000,000 star coins.
If you don’t pay, you’ll be imprisoned.
If you’ve injured someone, the fine ranges from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000 star coins.
Furthermore…” “Little Luke, you earned quite a lot of star coins last time you sold those spots, right?” Braydon turned to Luke, knowing he was the richest kid in the Northern Army.
Luke didn’t hesitate. He tossed a black check to Kenai and said, “Fill it in yourself!” Without waiting for a response, Luke charged at the purple-haired youth.
“What are you doing?” The purple-haired youth was alarmed.
“I’m going to beat you to death!” Luke said calmly.
Swoosh!
“Ahhhhh!” The purple-haired youth screamed in terror, drawing shocked looks from many onlookers.
Despite the presence of the patrol team, he was still bold enough to beat someone up in public. He must have had some kind of background; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to act so recklessly.
Kenai’s eyelids twitched. The young fool was incredibly ruthless. With just two punches, he had nearly ended the purple-haired youth’s life.
“Enough,” Kenai said urgently.
“Not only will you face punishment for hurting someone, but you’ll also be imprisoned!” “This is a bit troublesome,” Braydon said, frowning.
“Luke, let’s go!” Luke tossed the near-dead purple-haired youth to the ground and followed his brother.
Kenai, still holding the black check, fell into deep thought.
“Captain, they’ve left!” one of his team members reminded him.
“I know.
Let them go!” Kenai didn’t dare to stop them. The other team members quickly understood that these individuals were not to be trifled with.
Someone muttered, “Black checks from the Cosmos Bank?
Without at least 10 billion star coins in savings, you wouldn’t have one.” “That’s the lowest grade black check.
This one is a nine-star check” Kenai said, holding up the black check to show everyone.
The nine little stars in the upper left corner of the black check were visible.
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock. They knew this represented immense status. Ordinary black checks could only be exchanged for up to 10,000 star coins. One-star black checks could be exchanged for millions, while two-star checks were worth 10 million star coins, and three-star checks could be worth 100 million star coins.
A nine-star black check was worth 1 trillion star coins.
Everyone realized the significance of such a ticket. The little fool had managed to get his hands on something so valuable. It would be worth asking him just how much they had earned from selling the recruitment spots for the Northern Army.
To be honest, out of the 150 new legions of the Northern Army, at least 100 legions were recruited by Little Fool and his group. They had a reputation for being shrewd enough to sell a single spot for 200 million star coins. With ten thousand people, that added up to two trillion star coins.
What was even more outrageous was that Little Fool had raised the price later on. It’s clear they made a huge amount of money.
In any case, Little Fool and his crew had earned a fortune. His rogue legion, which also served as the cleanup crew after battles with the demons, had reaped many benefits. Wherever there was profit, you could count on Little Fool being there.
In the Northern Army, the Great Demon King Luke Yates was a legend.
The patrol team took the purple-haired youth away and made sure he was properly settled. Little Fool was fined 10 million star coins, but neither he nor Braydon was concerned about this small amount of star coins.
The two of them then entered the capital of the Milky Way Empire. Though called a capital, it was actually a super city, sprawling over an area as large as a province with hundreds of millions of residents, mostly human descendants. Occasionally, they spotted half-demons.
This bustling city had things Braydon and Little Fool had never seen before. The city was divided into the inner and outer areas. The outer city was where the ordinary, often poor, people lived, while the inner city was filled with dignitaries and trading companies offering rare goods.
Braydon and Luke naturally headed to the inner city. Compared to the run-down outer city, which had its share of beggars, the inner city was thriving with people in luxurious clothing.
In the heart of the inner city stood the Stargazing Hotel, the finest place to rest, offering accommodation and food. When Braydon and Luke arrived, they were immediately welcomed by a half-demon.
