I rely on myself

Chapter 535: Continued Negotiations

Inside the hangar of Yuhuo, the three MSs that had just returned were now arranged in an orderly manner, waiting to be maintained.

Mikazuki let out a long breath, then opened the cockpit without stopping. At the same time, the seat slowly rose and took the driver out.

Sanriku, who had just arrived outside, immediately heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Mikazuki, it looks like you've returned safely. I'm sorry that you had to go into battle with an unadjusted machine."

Following the voice, Sanriku saw that the person who was speaking was Yukinojo. He had an apologetic look on his face and at the same time, he extended his hand towards Sanriku.

In response, Mikazuki took the hand that was extended to him and used it to push himself up, while smiling and saying, "It's okay. There's nothing we can do about it. Uncle, you don't have to apologize like that."

"Ah……"

Although he knew that these were words of comfort, it was enough for Yukinojo and he no longer had a hint of apology on his face.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're back safely."

"Heh... so, what's going on now?"

At this time, Sanriku suddenly asked, and after a slight pause, Yukinojo reacted and replied.

"Now, Olga has taken Miss and Bisquette to the other ship to continue negotiations. As for the result, of course, it's not known yet."

"That's it..."

--------

At the same time, on the other side, inside the hangar of Tabins's ship Hammer was also bustling with activity, but there was one thing that was a little peculiar.

"Lavda, Lavda! Wake up! Lavda..."

Lavda, whose consciousness was still in the dark, suddenly seemed to hear a voice calling her, and the voice became louder and louder as time went by. Finally, Lavda couldn't stand it anymore, and she opened her eyes helplessly and complained.

"What are you doing? Waking someone up suddenly, don't you know it's rude?"

Looking at Lavda's condition, the person who was responsible for waking her up suddenly felt tired and wanted to just leave her there, as it seemed like there was nothing serious going on.

But in the end, he still wanted to wake up Ravda due to Minglai's order.

"You guy, do you still remember what you were doing before?"

"Before? Before, wasn't I piloting a MS... Oh, MS! I was in the middle of a battle, and I was knocked unconscious by the enemy!"

Lavda woke up instantly and saw clearly who woke her up. It was Aji. She quickly asked him, "How was the battle? Did we lose? Or did we suffer heavy losses..."

Lafda kept asking questions, leaving no room for Aji to answer. This gave Aji a headache again, but he was also relieved about Lafda's condition. After all, since she could ask such a series of questions, it showed that she should be fine.

"Okay, calm down. The battle is over, so there's no need to rush."

After some persuasion, Aji finally calmed Lavda down, but she still stared at her, wanting to know the current situation.

Of course Aji would not refuse this, or rather, this was one of her purposes.

Aji informed Lavda of the current situation in full, including the course of their respective battles. When Lavda heard that he was the only one captured by the enemy, a look of shame immediately appeared on his face.

"So I'm the only one captured by the enemy! Ah... How embarrassing! Now I can't face anyone anymore!"

Seeing Lavda's ashamed look, Aji on the side quickly consoled her: "Okay, Lavda, you don't have to be like this. To be honest, my performance was not that good either. I was almost taken down by the other party, so..." "Ah......!"

Although Aji kept persuading her, Lavda had no intention of listening at all. Seeing this, she realized that it was useless, so Aji directly changed the subject.

"Now Ming Lai is talking to the guy on the other side. He should be trying to continue the deal that was mentioned before."

"........."

Hearing this, Lavda stopped making a fuss and looked serious: "So how's the progress?"

"I don't know yet. They should still be talking over there..."

In a room of Tubbins' ship Warhammer, there are many decorations here, giving people an inexplicable feeling.

There is a table in the middle of the room with chairs on both sides. The two parties are now continuing the previously interrupted negotiations here.

There were only Narai and Armida on Tabins' side, while there were slightly more people on Tekkadan's side. In addition to Olga as the representative and Kudelia as the client, there were also Bisquet and Eugene accompanying them. Of course, they stood behind Olga and the others as bodyguards. The two sides now sat on each side to continue the interrupted negotiations.

Ming Lai was the first to speak. He said, "Regarding that guy Maruba, I will send him to our resource mining satellite and use him to work to make up for the cost this time."

"I have no opinion on this. After all, this is your own business. I have no intention of interfering."

Although Olga certainly wanted to teach Maruba a lesson personally, it was difficult for him to intervene under the circumstances, and he also wanted to save face for the sake of fame, so he naturally had no objection to the other party's arrangement.

At this time, a female crew member came over with a teapot and added some tea to Olga's cup. Olga naturally thanked her for this, but also noticed a doubt that had arisen long ago.

"By the way, I was wondering why there seemed to be only women on this ship. Is there a reason?"

When asking this question, Olga didn't care much about it. She just mentioned it casually because she was confused. However, Ming Lai's next answer gave him a great shock.

"Ah, well, that's because this is my harem, of course."

Ming Lai said this very naturally, as if he was talking about the weather or something like that. Even Olga and the others didn't react when they heard it.

But Olga and the others soon realized what the other party had just said. They were all stunned for a moment and subconsciously exclaimed.

"Ugh?!"

Compared to the surprise of Olga and the others, Ming Lai still had his usual bright smile on his face. Perhaps because he had seen similar situations many times before, he continued to explain.

"That is to say, all the crew members on this ship are my women."

"!!!"

Now even those who originally thought they had heard wrong could no longer deny the fact. After hearing such a shocking fact, Olga and the others all felt a little overwhelmed.

As the eldest daughter, Gudelia knew more, but she was not much better. She hesitated and asked, "Does that mean they are all your wives?"

"Ah, that's about the same idea. There are about five other children, but of course they all have different mothers."

Olga and the others were already having trouble processing the shocking information they had received before, and now they were being stuffed with even more shocking information. They suddenly felt like they were having a hard time processing what was happening, and they wanted to give up completely.

It's not really Olga's fault that they are so ignorant. Not to mention orphans like them who can barely read or write, even an upper-class lady like Gudelia would be shocked to learn of the existence of someone like Ming Lai, let alone them.

In short, Olga and the others realized once again that the differences between people can be very small or very large.
