Chapter 280 The sad truth that cannot be broken
The Hutts' slave ship quietly appeared in the hangar of the Cornerstone after 12 standard hours.
It was an extremely huge cargo spacecraft with a length of nearly 100 meters, filling most of the huge hangar of the Cornerstone. But it was quiet and hidden. Even the Jedi apprentice, who had a keen sense, did not find that the spacecraft, which was pitch black and square as a coffin box, had joined the Cornerstone and docked into the hangar.
Sean only noticed that when the spacecraft appeared, the crew on the Cornerstone obviously felt a little uneasy, as if they were welcoming something lewd.
This uneasiness was only alleviated with Kong Zhang's presence.
The Hutts' huge and bloated body was like a towering peak, blocking the coldness of the descending from the black slave ship. After a moment, the hatch of the slave ship was lifted outwards, and under the cold white light, a thin fog of cold mist evaporated out of it.
However, in this horror story, a kind-hearted Tilek emerged. He looked too old to be too old, his skin was wrinkled and dry, and his figure looked bloated and heavy. Under his generous and decent loose robe, the Tileks walked slowly and staggered, and they felt a little sorry for Tilek's name of elegance.
However, when people see him, they seem to unconsciously relax their tense nerves and feel relieved.
This Tilek is like he has the label of "honest man".
"Haha, Lord Kong Zhang, why are you here in person? Things are handled here very safely and there is nothing to worry about."
The Tileks' voices are friendly and elegant, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimacy and convincing.
But Kong Zhang was unmoved and said coldly: "The itinerary has changed. You need to take the silver man on the boat and send it to [Kun]. You have 12 standards for preparation, and then set out from here."
The Tilek sighed, "Mr. Kong Zhang, you will give people some problems. You also know how subtle our situation is now. If a bunch of strange faces suddenly appear on this boat, even the blind man knows that there are ghosts. Without the other party's compatibility, we can't land on [Kun] at all."
Kong Zhang said: "And it is your job to overcome these difficulties."
The Tileks were silent for a while and said, "Mr. Kong Zhang, is it really worth it to form an alliance with such a group of losers?"
The Hutt did not waste his words and words with the Tyreks anymore. He slowly stretched out his hand to the side, and a clever Dag man handed a remote control to him.
The Hutt's short and thick fingers gently rubbed the most eye-catching red button on the surface of the remote control, and every friction made the gentle and elegant Tilek look a little gloomy.
Finally, the Tileks sighed and said, "It was me who was a traitor. As a subordinate, I should not question the orders of the Lord repeatedly. I will obey your orders, but I must remind you that this road is not easy to walk, and even if I do my best, I may not be able to pass the test smoothly. Once I am intercepted..."
The Hutts sneered dullly: "'Lobbyist', you think too much, this path will only be easier than you most optimistically expected."
The Tileks showed a puzzled expression, but no longer resisted the execution of the order. He returned and soon brought down a group of various crew members from the ship, most of whom were humans.
"There are only those who can be replaced, with only 10 people in full swing. Most of the other crew members have distinct racial characteristics. The janitors of the Qiankun Group will not be mistaken, so they cannot be replaced. If you want to add people, you can only feel wronged and let them play slaves and squat in the bottom cabin to complete the journey."
Kong Zhang turned his head and glanced at Li Yu: "How?"
Li Yu said: "No problem. I didn't expect to be able to travel all the way. It would be better than anything else if I could reach my destination smoothly. So, including slaves, how many people can I bring in total?"
The Tilek, code-named "Lobbyist", calculated and said, "For humans, you can simply put on makeup and add two or three people. Other races can add four or five people. Of course, if it is a dragon race, then more will be better."
Kong Zhang said: "This is the condition. If you want to send more people, you have to wait for me to find another way and smuggle them and your Silver Number. I can't tell you how long it will take, and it is likely that you will need your cooperation in [Kun]."
Li Yu nodded: "I know, I don't expect to have better conditions... In short, this boat can carry nearly 20 people, and the first batch of arrival at [Kun], right? It's barely enough."
——
Li Yu's barely enough, full of the iconic "Li Yu-style" confidence, which is something that is obviously incredible, but it just makes sense to speak, as if success is within reach.
The members of the Silver Knights were not surprised by this "Li Yu-style" confidence. They had a superstitious sentiment similar to religious beliefs about their leaders and would not question his serious judgment at all.
Only the Jedi apprentice who acts as a limiter can see the heavy pressure Li Yu is carrying.
When the young silver leader returned to the conference room, although he was still smiling and his steps were still steady, Sean seemed to see an invisible mountain pressing on his shoulders!
The Hutts did not fulfill his promise perfectly. The slave ship could only transport 20 people, and the Silver Ship would not know when it would be in place, which was obviously different from what was said at the banquet.
But Li Yu did not waste time arguing with the other party, because he could see that this was the best condition that the Hutts could take out.
It is true that the business of smuggling by the dragon man may make the Qiankun Group profitable and reveal flaws on the defense line of the security forces. However, because this business is of great importance, the smuggling process itself will definitely be strictly controlled by the Qiankun Group.
It is already a huge risk that the Tyreks can replace so many people on a boat.
"However, I always feel that Kong Zhang's words are not true."
In the conference room, Platinum Jiuqian made his judgment first.
As for the young man who had become a right-hand man shortly after joining Baiyin, Li Yu smiled and said, "Of course it's not true. How honest and reliable do you expect a Hutt smuggling merchant to be? That boat may accommodate dozens of people, and maybe even stuff the entire Beiyin into it. The Hutts just don't want to do that."
Platinum Jiuqian frowned: "That..."
"Then we can only accept it." Li Yu said, "Now we are asking for the Hutts, and even our lives must be temporarily entrusted to him. On the other hand, he is only willing to take risks to cooperate with us for the sake of long-term interests, so this kind of cooperation must be limited. Kong Zhang is a businessman, and the businessman will only weigh the pros and cons, but we can't give him more chips now."
Sean was a little puzzled: "If we fail, then all his early investment will be wasted. This behavior at both ends of the head and rat is not beneficial, right?"
Platinum Jiuqian explained: "The two ends of the rat can also be explained as betting on both sides. He will not bet his own lives on one side. If we do not move smoothly, he will turn around and join Qiankun Group."
Sean still doesn't understand this speculative mentality of being on the fence, but since Li Yu and Platinum Jiuqian both judged this way, he had nothing to say.
After all, there was no need for him to understand the business practices of the Hutts in depth.
At this time, Anping asked: "So, according to the existing conditions, who are going to board the boat?"
Li Yu clicked casually: "The whole team of the Red Apricot Team, the top ten in the battle sequence of the Silver, the top three in the intelligence sequence, a certain adolescence lightsword swordsman, a certain down-and-out young lady... Finally, you will lead the team with 9,000 Platinum."
Now even Platinum Jiuqian couldn't help but widen his eyes: "I!?"
"Who else can I besides you? Am I?" Li Yu said angrily, "After our people, the top martial arts factions are all going to play a guest appearance as slaves. Only Chen Sanwan and other goods can guard the Silver Slot. Do you think they have the ability to guard it? If you don't want to be dropped by the Huts with an eight-hand shuttle, I can only stay and see my house."
Platinum Jiuqian was silent for a while and said solemnly: "I will definitely not let your expectations down!"
Sean asked, "Since you are not at ease with the Hutts, why do you have to send the armed sect to [Kun]? And what's the use of sending so many armed sects? We are not going to start a war."
"Wouldn't we go for sightseeing? Of course we are going to start a war. Otherwise, you expect Qiankun Group to open the gate of the sky and send 72 maids to welcome us to find Mostima? Or would there be some domineering chairman who smiled coldly and put Nan Yujin and Xia Yan's heads in a pallet for us to review?"
After a sarcasm, Li Yu carefully explained: "A few people, in a strange environment where they are unfamiliar, no matter what they want to do, force is the core element. This time, the first people who arrived at [Kun] must at least have the ability to kill a head of state in the siege to be qualified to talk further. This is an irrefutable truth summarized by the Silver Knights in the Qianxing System for so many years."
Sean shook his head: "It's hard to imagine this is the truth that exists in a long-term peaceful galaxy."
