508 Chapter 505 | High Profile Entrance, Making Friends.
'Make a deal?'
The Grandmaster paused and stared at the young man who broke into his VIP room.
There was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
The video captured by the satellite before was too blurred.
The Elder of the Universe only caught a glimpse of the dark red streak, but didn't see his true face clearly.
However, when Luke appeared in the VIP room, the Grandmaster couldn't help but wonder what happened in the video.
'Was this the terrible enemy who destroyed his entire space fleet?'
'He looks unremarkable ...'
This was the first impression the Grandmaster got.
There was no strong sense of oppression.
There was no such violent momentum as it did when he broke through the space warships with his bare hands.
Then...
The dozens of detectors scattered around the room reinforced this suspicion.
All the statistics shown were average, not even comparable to the few guards in the room.
If anything, Beta Ray Bill's combat power was above 300.
Zod's combat power could break 500.
Then, Luke's combat power didn't exceed 20.
'Too weak!'
The Grandmaster thought that, even if he picked one of the trashiest fighters from the gladiatorial arena, they would still be able to rub this guy to the ground.
'Something's wrong! Something is very wrong!'
The Elder of the Universe was frowning and somewhat torn.
'How could such a powerful man, that could destroy a space fleet, be mediocre?'
The Elder of the Universe's senses constantly reminded him that Luke was by no means the gentle-looking man he appeared to be.
On the contrary, the other party was potentially very threatening.
It was just somehow hidden from the scanners.
"If you're going to make a deal, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
The Grandmaster asked cautiously, as many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Two strong, powerful warriors from an alien planet stood in front of him like a wall, protecting him from any kind of attack from the other party.
"Luke. You can call me Luke."
The young man faintly smiled.
His tall, sturdy figure looked a little 'skinny' in front of the two nearly 10-foot aliens.
'Earthling ...'
The Grandmaster narrowed his eyes and came to a conclusion.
He knew a lot about the blue planet in that solar system.
"What do you want to talk about?"
The Elder of the Universe hesitantly asked.
The corners of Luke's mouth hooked up. He spoke in a natural tone, "I need to find a young planet that's habitable for life and located within the solar system."
"In addition, a large number of people are needed for construction work, as well as a space fleet that can make space jumps ..."
The more the Grandmaster listened, the more confused he was.
'What does this have to do with me?'
He wasn't running a planet construction company!
"I hope you can prepare these things."
After making a list for several minutes, Luke finally said so.
"..."
A series of question marks popped up above the Grandmaster's head.
The confused look on his face grew obvious.
He even wondered if he had misheard.
'This young man was from Earth.'
'Why is he making such rude requests with such a lighthearted tone?'
"I'm sorry, I'm running a gladiatorial arena, not a VIP service company. You're at the wrong place."
The Grandmaster managed to keep a decent smile and didn't lose his temper.
At least, he was an Elder of the Universe. There was a certain level of respect for him wherever he went.
His company itself operated the largest manpower trade in the universe, and he had a large number of slave catching ships and fleets under its hands.
Moreover, he also had a brother that was also an Elder of the Universe.
Taneleer Tivan, the Collector, was extremely wealthy.
Owning the largest recruitment market for mercenaries in the universe and the black-market trading centre.
Knowhere was his territory.
So, when it came to reputation and heritage, the Grandmaster wasn't any weaker than the three galactic empires.
"Maybe, you didn't understand my meaning."
Luke spoke to the Grandmaster through the two guards.
"This is a notice, not a request."
He didn't mean anything by looking for the other party.
He just wanted to get some benefits from him, intending to equip Zod and the others with a space fleet and then complete the plan to rebuild New Krypton.
Therefore, Luke deliberately opted for a high-profile entrance.
He destroyed a space fleet with his bare hands, fully demonstrating his own strength, and then put forward the above requests.
'Good plan!'
But it seems that the Elder of the Universe had quite the strong mental fortitude; it looked like he wasn't shocked.
When he heard Luke's arrogant reply, the Grandmaster sneered, not even bothering to reply.
He was sceptical about his opponent's display of blowing up his space fleet.
Besides, a creature with such great power...
'Why would he need to intimidate me and try to take things away from me?'
The Grandmaster looked a little annoyed.
The two guards, sensing the situation, took two steps forward and approached Luke.
They reached out to push the 'skinny' man, ready to throw him out of the VIP room.
"Putting all your trust in machines isn't a good habit."
Luke scanned around and seemed to notice. 'Why is the Grandmaster so calm?'
With the bio-force field wrapped around him and with his promotion into a singularity, his overall aura seemed calmer and less intense than before.
It was understandable that he was mistaken for an ordinary earthling.
Let's just say that, no matter what kind of alien species, they could easily be blinded by their own senses and data.
Boom!
Luke didn't make a move but released his bio-force field.
The two burly guards tried to grab hold of his shoulders.
As a result, before they could even touch him, they turned into a cloud of atomic dust, as if they were sketches, erased with an eraser, scattering into nothingness.
The ceiling of the VIP room, as if lifted by a strong shock wave, blew out a huge hole.
The entire spacious, luxurious room, except for the ground they were standing on...
All four walls were levelled and disintegrated into the tiniest of substances.
This time, a dozen detectors finally sounded an ear-splitting alarm before being crushed into dust.
The various figures given weren't in the hundreds or thousands.
It was a terrifying value that exceeded the detection range and broke through the upper limit.
"..."
The Grandmaster opened his mouth wide. He could feel a frightening wave of energy, like a tidal wave, destroying everything around him.
The Elder of the Universe was in the centre of the storm and could hardly take even one step out.
He felt like, if he even moved an inch, like the force of destruction from an exploding star, he would be crushed and disintegrated.
"Sir, I think the request you just made was just too ... simple."
The fancy-dressed Grandmaster quickly changed his expression and squeezed out a smile.
"In addition to a habitable planet in the solar system, there should be three more space fleets, more than a million free labourers, as well as terraforming, atmospheric modification supporting equipment ... I'll fund them all, personally."
"For no other reason than to simply make a friend."
Looking at the Grandmaster, who had cold sweat on his forehead and an extremely stiff smile, Luke opened his bio-force field and withdrew the suffocating pressure.
"That's what a wise man should do, follow his heart."
He lightly said so.
Indifferently.
The Elder of the Universe secretly sighed and lamented.
'If you had been so high-profiled from the start, nothing would have happened.'
