"And how should I address the pretty lady?" Yan Xiaosu said .
"Natalie, Mr Yan . " Natalie answered, and the resumed standing quietly beside Jasper .
"Natalie is a top economics student in Lya Sphinx's capital, and also a pillar in our organization . She's also one of the people responsible for the inspection this time round . As for me, I'm just here to play . " Jasper laughed .
"Keke, Mr Jasper, I think we might not have met under the most cordial of circumstances the last time . " Yan Xiaosu mildly replied .
Jasper was unfazed, instead unleashing a brilliant smile . "Brother Yan, I remember a proverb from Earth . You won't know someone unless you fight them . Brother Yan is indeed one to hide his true ability . I was a fool . "
Saying such things left Yan Xiaosu in a bad position to press the issue . Such an adroit conversationalist was difficult to pin down .
Yan Xiaosu waved a magnanimous hand . "A small matter forget about it . If there's nothing else, I still want to go out and enjoy myself . D*mn, this broken down place is dilapidated and rural . There's nothing fun around here . "
"Oh? Did the esteemed Governor not recommend you anywhere special?"
"He? He asked me to visit with the giants . D*mn, what's fun about that? I left him to his own devices . " Yan Xiaosu said carelessly .
Jasper's jaw dropped . F*ck, this airhead . The giant community was prohibited to outsiders . It meant that they treated you as one of their own .
"Keke, that's true . Such a way of amusement is suited to the foolhardy, unlike us . Actually, it's not just me that came this time . In my circle of friends, we're planning to go hunting in the nature park . Brother Yan, would you like to come with us? It's quite interesting, and since all of us are like-minded, things won't get boring . "
Jasper said .
"Who are they? If they're boring people, I won't go . "
"Yours truly has set up a starlight club, full of rich heirs with unlimited wealth . We came to Tita Star this time to inspect the production, and also to sniff out any opportunities for cooperation . More friends, more doors, I say . "
Jasper said . "Perhaps, Brother Yan could find a decent companion as well . "
Yan Xiaosu waved an agitated hand . "I'm not too interested in things like cooperation, and don't need it either . But that hunting you spoke of sounds not too bad . Beauties and beasts . I like it . "
Yan Xiaosu's eyes were bright . His gaze was roaming over to Natalie with wicked intent… they were indeed quite big .
Jasper was secretly delighted . "I did say we were of like mind . We're hunting Tita Star's special produce, the huge monsters . It's very exciting . Of course, we don't need to personally take a hand . When it comes to it, we can even sit around and bet . It's very addictive . "
"Alright, then I'll leave Lan Ling to rest, and go with you to play!" Yan Xiaosu said .
Jasper secretly wished he could give him a couple of kicks . With anyone else, he might think the person was faking it . But seeing Lan Ling's expression in the great hall, such a matter was indeed plausible .
And the more the other party expressed an unwillingness to cooperate, the more chance there was .
Everything else aside, if he could build good relations with the other Tita people through him, this would be the best deal .
Sending Jasper away, Yan Xiaosu leaned against the sofa and heaved a great sigh . His entire back had been wet with sweat . D*mn, it was the first time he had thought it was so tiring to put on airs .
The Tadinger Group had the most clout in Lya Sphinx . None of them were short on money . Yan Xiaosu was clear that the only way to do business with such people was to crush them with dominance . If one acted cooler, better, than the other, then there was basis for business .
It almost felt like roasting chestnuts while one was in the fire . But no gain without risk .
To do business, sometimes borrowing power was important .
After leaving the room, Jasper suddenly asked . "What do you think?"
Natalie considered it for a while . "Lecherous, but not stupid . He has secrets with the Tita people that outsiders don't understand . That's impressive . "
Jasper nodded, a glimmer of a smile on his face . The returns this time round could be unexpectedly high . He could also prove himself to the family, especially to those in the business opposed to him, and those stodgy old men .
The next day, Jasper had already changed into hunting gear, and Natalie had also taken off her professional clothes . She wore a tight-fitting hunting suit that accented her good figure to mouth-watering levels that left Tyrant Su drooling . He briefly considered changing his goal from dominating the universe to dominating girls .
Jasper was very friendly to Yan Xiaosu, calling him brother . But Natalie purposely kept her distance .
They drove a traditional racing car that the hotel had prepared, to enjoy the original feel of speed .
On the way, Jasper worked his verbal magic . It had to be said that this guy was practiced . They knew that he was purposely trying to be close, but was nevertheless hard to hate . Clearly, this guy was someone of status as well .
When they arrived, 5 others were already waiting . The guys were all about 20 plus, and even the oldest looking was at most 30 . Each had brought babes with them, and making out as though no one else was watching . And behind each of them were 2 mecha . Clearly they were Jasper's .
This zone had been specially designated as a hunting zone by Tita Star . This was not new, established a long time ago by the Lan family . The original intention had been to attract foreign investment, such as tourist dollars . Before the super-gravity energy ore's discovery, Tita Star's only attraction was the unique natural resources, and this hunting zone had been the product of their surveys of the investors . But now they had no need of these things, although the activity remained . It gave some face to the early financial groups, and was also beneficial to Tita Star . They could not only depend on the energy ore, otherwise they would turn into a mining planet . That was not desirable .
Tita Star's development goal was of course to develop the planet, using the energy ore as bait . And the financial groups were using developments as bait, to achieve their goal of attaining the ore . This was a game, and it remained to be seen who would emerge victorious .
"Jasper, what are you playing at? You're late . Haha, big-boobed girl, we haven't met for just a few days, and you seem to have filled out even more . " A 20-something guy with an ear-stud said as he whistled .
Their cars were bullet-proof and especially sturdy . But Tita Star's beasts' attack power was nothing normal . That was why each person prepared 2 mecha . One for hunting, one for defense . The mecha could not bring explosive weapons, but only cold weapons . At the same time, the hunting zone prey's information were illustrated in a handbook for the hunters to refer to .
"Pila, less nonsense from you . Don't be sniffling in a while when you lose . "
"F*ck off . When you lose, Big-boob is mine!" Pila said without shame .
Yan Xiaosu was beginning to understand their amusements . It was shameless… but he wanted her as well .
"Eh, who's this guy? You brought a lackey?" Pila laughed . A few others were looking curiously at Yan Xiaosu as well . Such amusements were close-circle affairs, and no one brought strangers .
"Brothers mine, let me introduce you . Yan Xiaosu, from the Little Lucky Star company of Earth . My new friend . He's free as well, so I brought him out for some exercise . Besides, the more the merrier . " Jasper said .
Yan Xiaosu did not acknowledge them . His eyes were roving on the girls draped over them . Actually, he understood that saying anything here would only invite them to look down upon him . To these spoiled brats, the best way was to ignore them .
As expected, Yan Xiaosu's indifference made them a little more respectful . "Oh . Jasper, you should have told us if you were bringing a new friend . "
A tall and handsome guy said . Since Jasper said he was a friend, and had brought him here, it must be no usual person . But this alone was definitely not enough .
"Gabre, Maacah Republic's CK Group, Pila, Caragal Republic's Lonk Group…"
Jasper introduced the other 5 . Each was a member of a famous financial group's family, 3rd generation and such . When the family grew to a certain size, it was no longer a single successor . Normally there were some clan dynamics, but these people were clearly at the heart of it .
"Since he's here to play, why didn't he prepare anything? Unless we're playing, and he's watching?" Gabre said, testing . He even fondled the babe at his side .
From Earth… D*mn, one look and they could tell he was a bumpkin . Was Jasper sick in the brain, or was he just trying to disgust them? But all of them were elites . They would get to the bottom of this . After all, he had been brought by Jasper .
Jasper slapped his forehead lightly . "You see, Brother Yan? This memory of mine . I completely forgot about it . "
"It's fine . I'm not too interested in these things . " He only had eyes for the girls .
At this moment, a few others had caught on to Jasper's meaning . Jasper was on to something, and testing this person .
"Brothers, it's a small matter . Just call your company and get 2 mecha over and it'll be fine . Otherwise, it will inconvenience everybody . " Gabre smiled . His meaning was clear . If you could not even settle this small thing, how could you stand on their level .
Jasper put on a troubled face . "This was my oversight . Or, I could lend you one first?"
"Jasper, that's nothing to play around with . Safety first, unless you're tired of living? This is meaningless, let's go back . " They had disdainful expressions .
Jasper shrugged irritably . "Brother Yan, your opinion . "
Yan Xiaosu collected back his eyes from the beauties . "Not much of an issue . Go prepare . I'll take care of it . "
"Haha, good! Then we'll go ahead to prepare . "
They parked their mecha outside, and entered the great hall to finish the proceedings, and to procure some equipment .
Yan Xiaosu rubbed his nose . D*mn, he had simply played for time . If his act failed, things could turn sour real quick .
The only way was to contact Lan Ling, to see if she could help him out of this mess . Yan Xiaosu was not really here to play, but had simply smelled the opportunity . But although this bunch of guys had a superior attitude, they knew what they were doing . Jasper was playing him, and not the other way round .
"Lan Ling, so sorry to bother you . But there's something I have to bother you about . I wonder if it's convenient . " Yan Xiaosu did not hesitate . At least, based on his relationship with Wang Zheng, he asked directly .
Lan Ling was surprised, but nodded . "That's nothing . I'll send a couple of people over from my bodyguard contingent . "
At this moment a huge voice rang out . Rara Durai was present .
Rara Durai had some impression of Yan Xiaosu . They had met previously . He was familiar with Ye Zisu, and this fatty must be Ada's other friend .
"Lan Ling, let me go . I wanted to stretch my legs, anyway," Rara Durai said .
