"Ask… Just ask! I will tell you whatever you want to know!"
Ju Niao nodded subserviently.
Here in this world, strength was the law. Chen Xiaobei had the ultimate strength, and therefore the power to kill.
The only way to live was to comply.
"Frist, let's talk about the Lu family!" Chen Xiaobei said, "Tell me everything you know. I want to understand as much as possible!""Erm… the Lus…" Ju Niao dug deep into his memory and said, "We'll have to start from 200 years ago. They were foreigners who came from a low-ranking starfield! The Lu family's ancestor was chosen by the Northern Wilderness Temple to be their disciples and was granted the rights to permanent residency. So, he would do complete the tasks assigned to him by the temple. On all those missions, he would always encounter incidents that would increase his cultivation. In a short period of ten years, he became a demigod! Once a person reaches this status, they could become a 1-star elder of the temple, recognized by the Northern Wilderness Starfield and treated like royalty! Shortly after, the Lu ancestor came to Silver Plume City and brought his own people from the low-ranking starfield here! The Lus had officially set their roots here! For the rest of the 100 years, they have been continuing their bloodline! Other than that first ancestor, two other members of the family became demigods. They were dispatched to low-ranking planets to become the head of the temple over there! I can say that their pockets are full! Many Silver Plume citizens were envious of the Lu family's prosperity and wealth! So, when Southern Town Star Temple was in trouble recently, many people, mostly those in power and money, wanted to take the opportunity to crush the Lus!"
Ju Niao revealed a lot. After all, the thing that he just told Chen Xiaobei was no secret. Those who were in power knew everything about the Lu family.
"Will the Lus be overthrown?" Chen Xiaobei asked. "Their ancestor was an elder of the temple and two of his descendants were demigods! After so many years, they are packed with resources! I don't think even the governor of Silver Plume City has the power to remove them!"
"I'm not too sure about that…" Ju Niao shook his head and said, "The incident has not been made known to the public. Maybe the governor is waiting for the leaders of the temple to make up their mind!"
Whether the Lu family would be let off the hook or if they would be severely punished rested on the Northern Star Temple's decision.
Chen Xiaobei figured that out himself so he did not ask Ju Niao about it.
"Black Dragon Faction is assisted by the Lus. How did they react?" Chen Xiaobei asked."Black Dragon Faction's leaders are panicking. They had a full day of meeting today! Everyone knows that if the Lus fall, Black Dragon Faction will also fall…" Ju Niao suddenly paused and swallowed hard. "Er… are… you thinking of forming a new Black Dragon Faction in the outer city?"
"No! I'm not interested in gangs!" Chen Xiaobei chuckled to himself and said, "But I have a friend who might be interested in becoming a gangster boss at a foreign planet like this!"
Your friend? Hu Ben?" Ju Niao was stunned for a moment. "They are soldiers! They don't have the skills to manage a gang!"
"No, of course not Hu Ben!" Chen Xiaobei's eyes then turned frosty. "Everything that I've done today and everything that I've said will be kept a secret from Hu Ben and the others! If you let anything leak, I will come back at any time to kill the both of you!"
"Yes, yes, yes… We won't say a word to anyone…"
The brothers nodded their heads earnestly. At that moment, Chen Xiaobei was like their emperor. Every word he said was sacred.
If they fail to obey the emperor's orders, they would be sentenced to death!
"The friend I was referring to is not in Silver Plume Planet. They might come here in the future…"
Chen Xiaobei smiled at that thought.
The friend Chen Xiaobei was talking about was his homeboy Fire Boss back on earth.
He thought about how they used to visit the street with the pubs and dominate the entire area until they controlled the entire Green Town's underworld! During that time, Chen Xiaobei did not feel anything about it. Now, whenever he thought about it, he could feel the rush going into his mind! To him, it was his most glorious time!
The gang here in outer space brought back memories of the time he spent with Fire Boss.
If he ever got the chance, Chen Xiaobei would bring Fire Boss here and gave him the position of intergalactic boss! Of course, this plan was all in his head for now. Chen Xiaobei himself did not have a firm footing in this place yet. If he brought Fire Boss here now, things might not end well for them.
"Alright. That's all I want to know for now. I will leave some Spiritual Qi to you. When I have time, I will come back to have tea with you!"
Chen Xiaobei put away the Green Jade Gourd and stood up from the couch.
He now had taken 5,000 Spiritual Stones worth of Spiritual Qi.
The last time he spoke to the Prime of Tongtian, Chen Xiaobei learned about Laotzu's character and the way he dealt with different matters.
Instead of cutting them off completely, he left some backup for himself so that it might benefit him in the future.
"You'll come…back?" Ju Niao gulped.
"Why? Am I not welcomed?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
'No! No! You're welcomed here! The door is open for you!"
And because of Chen Xiaobei had decided to spare their lives, Ju Niao was grateful for that. At least they would not turn into sworn enemies.
"That's great!" Chen Xiaobei ordered. "Bring Hu Ben and the others out. If anything else happens to Sister Hua's tavern in the future, I will hold you responsible!"
"No! No! Nothing will happen!" Ju Niao shook his head repeatedly. "I swear, not only will there not be any trouble in her tavern. Her business will flourish and prosper!"
"Good! That's very good!" Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, "I am reasonable. You helped me so when you need help, I can also help you!"
"Re… Really?" Ju Niao asked in disbelief. He did not expect to receive such an unexpected surprise!
Ju Niao was in no position to even be in the company of the likes of Chen Xiaobei. To be able to get help from him was like an amazing surprise!
"I don't simply make promises!"
Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
'Then… Then… Leave us your number…" Ju Niao said.
"Number?" Chen Xiaobei raised a brow. "Can a lowly phone be used here?"
"No… Didn't the army give you an intergalactic mobile phone?" Ju Niao asked.
Chen Xiaobei shook his head.
"Alright! Let me give you one!"
Ju Niao ran upstairs and came back with a phone. "My brother gave this to me as a gift only a few days ago. I haven't had the chance to open it! Dami 17 Intergalactic Cellphone! It doesn't require charging, is waterproof and dropproof! The alarm will ring if the distance between you and it are more than ten meters! Definitely a top-tier security system!"
"Are you going to say that this cellphone is going to sell for 998 RMB?"
Chen Xiaobei felt like they were about to sell him a replica cell phone from Earth.
