Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Miss Toppa, right? The cutest of the [Stoneheart Ten], I like her very much!"

Luca sighed:

"No offense intended, Miss Camille, but I don't like the company. They almost turned my hometown into an asset that could be packaged and sold."

Upon hearing this, Camille, representing the company's influence, retorted:

“Mr. Luca, the company is a large group.”

"It's easy to label people, but in the end, everyone we come into contact with is a living, breathing human being."

"I'm also part of the company's business. Do you dislike me too?"

"..."

"I spoke without thinking," Luca said, lowering his head in shame.

"Please forgive my rudeness, Miss Camellia."

“You’re right… I should personally verify what kind of person Toppa is.”

Luca looked at Yan Huan.

“Mr. CEO, your relationship with Miss Topa is actually...not bad, is it?”

Yan Huan blinked.

"I?"

"Okay."

“But if you’re talking about our first meeting, in Belleburg, I was actually planning to imprison her as a hostage.”

"If it weren't for her ability to speak up and manage some of the unruly underlings, we wouldn't have such a peaceful relationship now."

Luca nodded slightly, understanding the gist of what had happened.

Toppa... as the company's representative in the competition.

Actually, Luca doesn't dislike her.

I heard that it was this Miss Topa who gave me the grace period for repayment... Maybe she wasn't a bad person.

But he had an instinctive fear of the company's capable senior executives.

"No." Luca clenched his fist.

"I cannot let fear overwhelm me."

He couldn't help but look at the bed.

The figure lying in the blankets has now transformed into that perverted, lewd creature wearing a yellow Pikachu bodysuit.

This is a sign that Luca's mental state has deteriorated again.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Luca walked to the bed and picked up the man in the tight-fitting clothes around the waist.

Close contact with the Baku can help alleviate his mental state.

Slowly, he saw the bodysuit-clad pervert in his arms transform back into Nanuk's appearance.

"Yes, I feel much better."

Luca turned around and looked at the two of them with a firm gaze, saying:

"Now that we've become rivals, we must show her what we're capable of... We absolutely cannot lose to her!"

Yan Huan put her hands in her pockets and nodded calmly.

"Luca, are you ready to fight?"

"Of course!"

……

Amidst the cheers of the audience.

Luca and Yan Huan stepped into the ring once again.

Jimi grabbed the microphone and recited loudly:

"Ah! The two sides facing off next seem to have a long-standing grudge!"

"The atmosphere in the arena is already thick with tension even before the battle has begun!"

"The blue team is from the Belberg team—[Iron Arm] Luca!!"

"The Red Team is Toppa, the debt liquidation expert from the Interstellar Peace Corporation!!"

There were three people standing behind Toppa.

A massive figure, equipped with power armor, stood there, providing cover for the team.

The other two were wearing the company's standard armor, exactly the same armor they wore when they went to the lower district of Belleburg to demand payment.

"I never expected that the people of Yalilo VI would become active in the galaxy. I am very happy to see you at this martial arts ceremony."

Topa was the first to greet them.

Luca responded:

“I’m also really looking forward to this match, Ms. Topa! It’s a great opportunity to show you the dignity of us Belgrade people.”

Yan Huan also greeted Topa.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Mr. Yan Huan, how have you been?" Toppa said with a faint smile.

"We were so busy with work before that we didn't have much time to chat, even though we knew you were on the celestial ship."

"So, are you planning to join the company now?"

"Oh wow." Yan Huan couldn't help but become curious.

"If I join the company now, what position will I be given?"

“Diamonds are trying to recruit you,” Toppa said with a slight smile.

"Once they join, they'll probably be on par with us [the Stone Heart Ten]."

"Huh? Only the Strategic Investment Department wants me?" Yan Huan immediately understood what Toppa meant.

The fact that the position can only be given to the [Stone Heart Ten] equals indicates that only the Diamond is advocating for this matter.

“Other departments have similar ideas, but… at least the Strategic Investment Department came first, didn’t they?”

Toppa said with a smile:

“A talented person like Mr. Yan Huan can shine wherever he goes.”

"However... you have not been explicitly identified as any Star God's [commander]."

"Without the [Envoy's] certification, the price offered for the diamond is already the highest."

"Oh dear, that's really heartbreaking." Yan Huan sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

"Is the Star God's certification really that important?"

"Never mind then, I was hoping to become the vice chairman of Pierpoint."

"Mr. Yan Huan is quite the joker," Topa remarked, glancing at the tourists in the surrounding stands.

"As a grand event held only once every few Amber Eras, the Martial Arts Ceremony is an indispensable event for our company, as an ally of the Immortal Boat Alliance."

"But taking it seriously... there's really no need for that."

Toppa looked at Yan Huan.

"I was quite surprised to hear that you became the coach of the Beloberg team."

"Judging from the way Mr. Yan Huan walked over, I thought you were going to participate in the competition in person."

"That works too." Yan Huan started to stretch her muscles.

"?"

Chapter 976 You, go down and settle down

"Mr. Yan Huan really loves to joke."

Toppa smiled.

"You previously helped Belloberg resolve his debt issues, and now you're helping them participate in the martial arts ceremony..."

"Haha, the child is not young anymore, it's time for him to learn to walk on his own."

Luca immediately retorted.

“Belloberg has always lived in difficult circumstances, and we kids have long since learned to forge our own paths.”

"Haha, what a boastful statement."

Topa looked at Luca.

“I have no ill will toward Belloberg.”

"I just want to confirm whether the people of Baytown are truly capable of standing on their own after surviving that debt crisis."

"If one relies solely on the kindness of powerful figures to overcome difficulties, then one will never become a truly free person, but only a slave to the right to freedom."

Luca's firm reply:

"The people of Belloberg have never been slaves!"

"Sorry, the tension was a bit too high," Topa said with a calm smile.

“Let’s begin, Luca of Belloberg.”

"That's right, come on! Mr. Executive, please step back, lest you get caught in the crossfire!"

"alright."
