Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 345 The Most Unfamiliar Acquaintance? The Most Familiar Stranger?

With the most critical gaze, the Mermaid King Perez scrutinized the two burly figures standing beside his innocent, lively, clever, sunny, and understanding underage sister (nearly a thousand adjectives omitted below).

Her voice unconsciously turned half a degree colder as she said, "Oh, good afternoon."

If he weren't afraid of scaring his little princess, his voice could be 50 degrees colder.

Jiang Yuxi was surprised and happy: "Wow, so you know Brother Perez?"

Perez: "I know them, but not well." Perez had no personal relationship with either Hilcher or Frederick.

Frederick: "I know him, and I've known him for many years." The first time he met the current Merman King was probably when the latter was still an embryo. So, roughly speaking, that was when they first met.

Hilcher: "I know him. He's a childhood friend." He met Perez once when he was a cub, guided by his elders.

The three spoke at the same time, and their answers were the same in the first part, but their interpretations of the second part were completely different.

Jiang Yuxi's eyes showed a moment of confusion.

So, are they familiar or unfamiliar with each other? How deep is their relationship? Do they celebrate holidays together or not?

However, the only thing we can be sure of is that they do know each other.

Perez smiled politely and explained, "I've known Hilcher and Frederick since we were very young, but we haven't been in touch much for many years. We've only recently started to keep in touch frequently and are getting to know each other better."

The Mermaid King was telling the truth. Even if his little princess didn't know, he would never lie to his sister!

He had indeed met Frederick, the killer, once during a video call when he was very young.

I was fortunate enough to see it in a video when the Empire, the Federation, and the Sea Clan jointly participated in annihilating the Zerg Queen and the Rebel Alliance.

As for the fact that they only started contacting each other frequently recently, it was the male named "Mu Zihua" who took the initiative to contact him...

Thinking of this, Perez glared fiercely at Frederick! It turned out it was premeditated.

The Mermaid King's face darkened as he recalled the contract Mu Zihua had made with the sea tribe.

It's all his fault for having such a strong "heroic bias" towards Frederick that he believed his lieutenant's nonsense about "the Zerg Queen being reborn." He claimed that whether it was the Sea Clan, the Empire, or the Pirate Alliance, they were all part of a community, and close business and training cooperation would allow them to better fight the enemy together.

That adjutant, Mu Zihua, truly deserved to be hailed as the most famous diplomat in the Federation back then!

Eloquent and persuasive, but no, it should be described as silver-tongued and malicious!
As for this Patriarch Hilcher...

Perez scrutinized the other party with the most critical eye.

He's too cold-hearted; it must be exhausting to be around him. Who knows, maybe in the future... his own lovely and lively little sister will have to do the coaxing? How could that be? His only sister, the incomparably noble little princess of the sea tribe, is someone who should be coaxed by others; how could she be the one to coax others?

Hilcher's mental abilities are mutated, and it's said he needs to stay in solitary confinement for years. Who knows, a perfectly healthy beast might develop some psychological problems from being locked up for too long? My younger sister is innocent and kind, so she should find a male with a lively, cheerful, sunny, and gentle personality.

Perez, who was mentally contemplating Hilcher's "perennial confinement," completely forgot that the Shadow Guard's report stated, "In recent years, Chief Hilcher has spent more time and frequency in confinement, from three times a year in the past ten years to five times a year, and the duration has increased from one or two days to three or five days."

The Mermaid King looked at the two male orcs standing at the top of the interstellar pyramid on the other end of the video, and he couldn't stand the sight of them. He wished he could teleport over immediately and kick the two males away from his sister.

Frederick...?
Oh right, it seems to be Principal Aya's name. But since she found the name a bit awkward to pronounce, and besides, she was working at a kindergarten, she felt that Principal Aya was more endearing and suitable for the children to call her that than Principal Frederick.

"I see." Jiang Yuxi nodded.

Frederick smiled and said, "Principal Xixi, before I joined the kindergarten, didn't I form a small team? Now the team is fully managed by my former colleagues."

Those beasts who knew what Frederick meant by "a small team" couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

A small team becomes a star pirate alliance that resounds throughout the galaxy.

Even the most respected high-ranking officials and noble descendants in the Federation would give way to these "small groups" of space pirates!
Frederick: "I recently heard that the team has a deep collaboration with the Perez family business, and I hope to achieve a win-win situation."

He acted as if he knew the Mermaid King very well, which made the Mermaid King, who had been wronged, feel very aggrieved.

With the help of filters, it's clear that the Sea Clan didn't lose out on the contract they signed back then; in fact, they probably made a profit.

But now it seems like we've lost out big time.

Frederick: "I heard the collaboration is progressing very smoothly."

Perez felt even more frustrated.

It went very smoothly. The sea-crested warriors trained by Black reported that their combat capabilities, responsiveness, and reconnaissance abilities had improved by leaps and bounds.

It's obvious that the sea creatures got the better deal and benefited, so why does it feel so unsatisfying?

Perez gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, very smoothly! It couldn't be smoother!" At this rate, in less than a year, the sea race will have an invincible amphibious force!
Frederick: "I'm glad you're satisfied, Perez. If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to give feedback to Xiao Hei. He will adjust the working methods dynamically according to your needs."

Perez smiled coldly: "No problem for now! I'll let Mr. Black know if there are any issues!" If it weren't for his sister being there, he wouldn't even want to answer Frederick's question.

wild ambition!

It's obvious!

"Little Black? Black?" Jiang Yuxi thought the name was quite interesting.

"Xiao Hei is Blake's nickname. Just like how you call me A Ye, Principal Xixi."

Xiao Hei and I grew up together.

I have two more friends, and I'll introduce them to Principal Xixi when I have the chance.

Although his name is Blake, he doesn't admit to being black. Therefore, he names all his social media accounts "I'm Not Black Black Black."

Frederick never hesitated to expose the shortcomings of his adjutant.

What's an adjutant compared to my own little female?
Jiang Yuxi burst out laughing: "Haha, Principal Ye, your friend is really interesting."

Seeing that Frederick's voice immediately attracted Jiang Yuxi's attention, it was clear that the dissatisfied orcs around her weren't just Peres, who was far away.

Eisen, unable to bear seeing his little fish being coaxed by a big-tailed male, and not wanting Jiang Yuxi to have her attention subtly stolen by Hilcher...
