Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Chapter 601 Space Pirates (39)

Ten years have changed a lot; the League and the Royalists are now evenly matched.

Mo Hua became the new emperor. He used his brothers and sisters to form marriage alliances, cultivated good relations with powerful families, and became increasingly adept at weighing the pros and cons, thus becoming a qualified emperor.

After what happened with the old emperor, the aristocratic families no longer dared to truly trust Mo Hua, and now they only maintained a superficial peace.

Evan relentlessly pursued Xiong Bufan's crimes, eventually finding Xiong Bufan's image in a video and obtaining a soldier's testimony that proved Xiong Bufan was the one who caused the sabotage.

Even if Mo Hua didn't believe it this time, there was nothing he could do. Someone had to take the blame for what happened ten years ago, and Mo Hua wanted to bring Alberk under his own name.

Albuquerque generates a large amount of tax revenue every year, making it a highly sought-after commodity for politicians, and Mo Hua has long coveted it.

After sending the application to Albuquerque, Mo Hua mobilized his spaceship to prepare for a secret visit to the planet.

Before going, Mo Hua put his mecha into his personal armory.

After receiving news of Mo Hua's visit, Che Ziqin carefully observed Xiong Bufan's expression, as he had not forgotten that Mo Hua was Ouyang Qian's first love.

The two were childhood sweethearts and had a love story that shocked the entire nation.

Moreover, given how ruthlessly Xiong Bufan treated Yuwen Yanran back then, it's hard to say he didn't harbor any personal grudges.

Xiong Bufan didn't react, still fiddling with the materials in his hands. Che Ziqin reminded him again, "Bufan, Mo Hua is coming to Alberk."

"Oh, as long as it's not someone giving me money, don't tell me."

Che Ziqin was unaware that Xiong Bufan had killed the emperor and empress. He looked at Xiong Bufan and asked, "Have you really let it go?"

Xiong Bufan had long forgotten who Mo Hua was. Che Ziqin's words were essentially fabricating rumors about Xiong Bufan in front of him.

"If you say another word, I'll punch you. Can't you see I'm busy?"

Che Ziqin then realized that Xiong Bufan had put it down. "You go ahead and do your work. I'll be going now. You should prepare well this time."

Chen Wenxiao: "Let's go, let's go, don't disturb her."

"Yes."

Rosie's gossip-loving spirit has been burning ever since Mo Hua's invitation arrived. She is now looking forward to the scene of the two reuniting, which is like a real-life idol drama.

If Che Ziqin knew what Luo Xixi was thinking, he would definitely encourage her to talk to Xiong Bufan and say that he shouldn't be the only one getting scolded.

Chen Wenxiao warned, "Be careful, Mo Hua is probably here to take over Alberk."

Upon hearing that someone was trying to take his things, Xiong Bufan became instantly agitated. "Alberk Star belongs to me, and no one is allowed to take it from me!"

Chen Wenxiao explained, "I wanted you to prepare in advance."

"profound."

Amidst Che Ziqin and Luo Xixi's anticipation, Mo Hua's spaceship finally landed on Albuquerque.

Xiong Bufan also rarely came out to watch the excitement, but he hid in the shadows. The real handover was done by Che Ziqin and Luo Xixi.

After Mo Hua disembarked from the spaceship, he was somewhat disappointed not to see Xiong Bufan and asked, "Where did Miss Ouyang go?"

Che Ziqin and Luo Xixi exchanged a glance, both realizing that Mo Hua had come to ask for Alberk. "The city lord is still patrolling the city. Your Majesty, please come with us."

"it is good."

The true city lord, Xiong Bufan, was mingling in the crowd watching the commotion. She might not know who Mo Hua was, but she recognized the man's scent—it was the same scent as that of the emperor and queen from back then.

Mo Hua's guard team was small, consisting of only four people. Che Ziqin and Luo Xixi followed him back to the city lord's mansion.

Mo Hua: "Alberk is developing well."

Che Ziqin replied carefully, "It's far inferior to the central planet. These were all built by everyone together."

Mo Hua was not satisfied with this answer. "Alberk is the planet that pays the most taxes. It is said that more than half of its people are mechanical engineers."

Everyone can pilot a mech.

Che Ziqin: "Your Majesty, not all rumors are credible."

……

For every word Mo Hua said, Che Ziqin would respond with a reply, including remarks that belittled Albuquerque, hoping that Mo Hua would leave the planet alone.

Xiong Bufan and Luo Xixi are Che Ziqin's apprentices. Albuquerque is Che Ziqin's child. He has watched Albuquerque develop into what it is today, and he has poured countless efforts into it.

Mo Hua found it boring and gradually walked away from the city lord's mansion.

One clear advantage of having many mechanical engineers is the increased innovation.

Albuquerque has many things that even the central planet doesn't have, and you can see robots rummaging through parts there.

The distance from the spaceship docking station to the city lord's mansion seemed exceptionally short; it felt like we arrived in just a few steps.

Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Xiong Bufan emerged from the crowd and took the main seat in the mansion.

Mo Hua glanced at Xiong Bufan's scarred face, a fleeting look of disgust crossing his eyes. This guy really didn't care about his appearance at all.

Che Ziqin gave Mo Hua a cold look and secretly glared at him several times. If it weren't for the royal family, would Xiong Bufan have been disfigured?

Xiong Bufan: "Everyone, please take your seats."

Mo Hua sat on a chair below the main seat, while Ai Wen stood not far below her, the two of them resembling the positions of an ancient concubine and a head palace maid.

After taking his seat, before Mo Hua could say anything, Ai Wen immediately started his attack, "Lord Ouyang, shouldn't this main seat be given to our Emperor?"

Xiong Bufan tilted his head and looked at Che Ziqin standing next to him, "You guys go out first, I'll stay here."

Che Ziqin: "Alright, let's not cause trouble. We won't disturb you and His Majesty's reunion."

"Go on." Xiong Bufan waved his hand and saw Che Ziqin, Luo Xixi, and their servants out.

Mo Hua assumed Xiong Bufan wanted to catch up with him, so he waved Evan away, saying, "Go wait for me outside."

Evan glanced at Xiong Bufan and said reluctantly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

For a moment, only Mo Hua and Xiong Bufan remained in the room. Mo Hua was less of a regal figure than before. "Sister Ouyang, you've suffered."

Xiong Bufan agreed, saying, "I also feel that I've suffered a lot."

Mo Hua was prepared for Xiong Bufan to call her a scumbag, irresponsible, and not come to pick her up. She had even prepared an excuse. But to her surprise, Xiong Bufan just calmly accepted the words.

Mo Hua didn't know what to say for a moment, but thinking of his purpose, he pretended to feel sorry for her and said, "Sister Ouyang, now that I'm here, you don't have to work so hard."

Xiong Bufan glanced at Mo Hua sideways. Didn't this guy just say he would take care of her? "Give me some star coins."

Mo Hua fell silent. After more than a decade, how had Ouyang Qian become so mercenary? She was nothing like the kind and understanding person she used to be.

Indeed, the environment shapes the people. Alberk can only produce trash, and even the kind and beautiful Sister Ouyang was no exception.

As Mo Hua's silence grew longer, Xiong Bufan's expression worsened. This man was trying to make empty promises without offering any real benefits.
