Chapter 464
"Darling!"
Nereja squeezed himself out of the crowd and opened his arms with excitement on his face .
A smile appeared on Lenny's face as she saw her husband . She dashed into his arms, then kissed his forehead, and they started kissing passionately . She hung on Nereja's neck like a koala . Their position was so fiery that it looked like they were going to do it on the spot . Han Xiao's eyes hurt from watching it, and the image of back then when he captured Kerlodd and stripped him naked appeared in his mind . Muscular, wide shoulders, small member . No wonder there were so many hybrids in Godora…
The other surviving Observers jumped down from the spaceship and hugged their friends .
When Han Xiao got off the spaceship, the space station chief approached and said with a surprised tone, "Black Star, this is…"
Obviously, the station chief did not know that Nereja had hired mercenaries privately . Hiring mercenaries for internal matters without permission was against the regulation in Godora, and the punishment would be given depending on how serious the situation was . It would also be added to their permanent record and affect their future and promotions .
When Nereja gave the mission, he had requested Han Xiao not to leak this information . However, keeping it a secret might lead to missed opportunities and lowered rating, so Han Xiao did not listen to him and told Lenny and the other survivors about it . These Godoran Observers, of course, knew about the regulation . After discussing it privately on the spaceship, they decided to keep the identity of the employer a secret . After all, Nereja had taken the risk to hire the mercenaries to save them, so they were willing to cover it up .
The Observers around them heard the station chief's question and all looked over . The survived Observers looked at Han Xiao worriedly, Nereja swallowed his saliva nervously .
These people were worried that Han Xiao would tell the truth . As Black Star was not an official of Godora, maybe he did not know about their regulations .
Han Xiao smiled and said, "When I was here, I heard about the research ships . I'm a mercenary, so I won't give up any opportunity to make a fortune . Mr . Station Chief, my services are not free . Maybe you should pay a reasonable price for my labor . "
Nereja heaved a sigh of relief, and the other Observers were thankful, too . They looked at Han Xiao discreetly with appreciation .
In order to protect the employer's identity, this mercenary is even putting up a show . That is some dedication to his profession .
The station chief was puzzled and a little troubled . "According to our regulations, we can't pay you any money . This was your own action; we did not hire you . "
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows . "Are you saying that I worked for free? Is this how Godorans treat their friends?"
A shade of joy flashed through the deputy station chief's eyes . He coughed and said, "Station chief, he rescued the missing people after all . Although it's against the regulations, I feel that we should return the favor . We should thank him for saving the lives of these Observers . Godorans never treat our friends badly . "
The station chief frowned and firmly shook his head . "Regulations are regulations . I appreciate your actions, but I really cannot pay you . This was your own action . If I paid you a reward, it would become a hire . That would be against the regulations . "
The faces of the crowd around them changed in dissatisfaction, especially the surviving Observers including Lenny . Their eyes turned rather cold .
These mercenaries saved us, yet you don't even want to give a reward . Are our lives this cheap in your eyes?
Although they were unhappy, they did not say anything . The regulations were not to be disobeyed .
Han Xiao squinted and said in a deliberately indifferent tone, "Okay, I shall just say that I did a good deed . I want to park here for a day, will you maybe allow that?"
Seeing that he did not forcefully ask for a reward, the station chief felt relieved . He nodded and said, "Yes, we always welcome our friends . "
Hearing this, the crowd around them stared at the station chief in discontent before looking at Han Xiao with even more appreciation .
The station chief turned around and left, and the crowd gradually split up as well . When they passed Han Xiao, they greeted him with a solemn gesture, expressing their appreciation .
In a corridor far away with only the deputy station chief and station chief, the deputy station chief took a few steps forward and walked beside the station chief . "You're too stubborn . "
The space station shook his head and said with a very serious expression, "This is not being stubborn but principles . Since I was assigned to this place by the superiors, my job is to supervise all the work here and make sure that everyone does things following the regulations . "
"Sigh, you're right . " The deputy station chief purposely acted regretful . "Very few mercenaries would only negotiate a price after doing the job—their actions were not a coincidence . They probably accepted a secret hire from a space station employee long ago…"
The station chief suddenly stopped walking and said, "You're right… Those mercenaries deliberately lied earlier because they wanted to make more money . Humph, mercenaries indeed are a group of greedy people . Investigate it . I want to know who the one that hired the mercenaries was . "
The deputy station chief hastily discouraged the station chief and said, "For things like this, knowing about it in our hearts is enough . Don't be so serious about it . No matter what, all the lost Observers returning is a good thing . If you act as if you don't know about this and don't look for who's responsible, the regulation violation will not exist . When you report to the superiors, you can write it into your own merits . This will be very beneficial for your future . They will think that you're very capable . "
The station chief frowned and said in a righteous tone, "Merits? I won't hide the truth for something like this! Investigative who hired the Black Star Mercenary Group . A violation is a violation; no leniency is allowed . "
…
Back at the hall, Nereja found Han Xiao . The two of them walked to the side, and he grabbed Han Xiao's hand with a face filled with gratitude .
"Thank you so much for your help . Lenny and I don't even know how to repay you . "
Han Xiao pulled his hands back, shrugged, and said, "Of course you know how to repay me . We agreed on the reward . "
"Yes, yes, yes, of course, I'm just too excited . " Nereja took out his communicator and quickly made a transfer .
