Yes, the quality of the gold is indeed very high, but the size of the box in Josie's hand is obviously such that even if it were filled with gold, it wouldn't be strong enough to smash through the floor of that hotel, especially considering the materials used in that hotel, which looked quite strong.

“Normally yes, but let me tell you, this box actually contains a full one hundred tons of gold,” Josie said, shaking the box in her hand.

Are you kidding me? Carter's eyes widened in surprise.

Because the box wasn't very big, Carter wouldn't be surprised if it contained 100 kilograms, but 100 tons?

“Alright, stop teasing Peggy. Peggy, this isn’t gold, it’s some star gold, but it does weigh a hundred tons.” Margot, who was standing nearby, couldn’t stand seeing Josie teasing Carter and explained to Carter.

However, Carter was even more confused when he heard Margot's words.

“…Star Gold? What is that?” Carter asked again.

“It’s a compressed metal found only in the core of stars. It’s extremely high in quality and also an extremely precious metal material with very high value. Based on our research on the purchasing power of currencies in the universe recently, this amount of star gold is enough to buy the entire town of Contira,” Margot explained with a smile.

To be more precise, this Star Gold is actually made of a similar material to the core of Thor's Mjolnir.

However, the core material of Thor's hammer is made from the core of a white dwarf star with the highest degree of compression, while ordinary star gold is extracted from the core of an ordinary star and is of lower quality.

However, this does not change the fact that it is still an extremely expensive material. According to Margot, the star gold in this small box is indeed enough in terms of physical assets, not even considering the financial assets of the conglomerates on the planet Contrasia.

Wow, I thought you guys were just super rich on Earth, but I didn't expect you to be super rich in the universe too.

Carter couldn't help but question the meaning of life at this moment.

We're all human, so why are you all so outstanding?

Fortunately, she has a strong mentality and recovered quickly.

Having money is a good thing, wouldn't it be great if she could enjoy it too?

"But why didn't you say that when Marwell was here?" Carter blurted out, but as soon as she said it, she realized she had asked a stupid question.

“She’s not from Earth, after all, is she?” Sure enough, Josie’s reply confirmed Carter’s suspicions.

"Looks like I was right. Your eagerness to persuade me to come back then wasn't just for fun!" Carter sighed.

However, she did not blame Josie for it.

After all, her motives for agreeing to Kerry's trip were not entirely pure.

Yes, she and Marwell did indeed become close lovers.

However, the feelings between them were definitely not strong enough for Carter to change his stance as an Earthling.

Carter is quite clear-headed in this regard.

After this little incident, the three of them reached a consensus and quickly found a hotel in the luxury area where they were staying to check in.

Although they possess priceless Star Gold, it still needs to be exchanged for Star Coins to be used as money.

So for the time being, they are still using the money left by Marwell.

Once you're familiar with the environment, find an opportunity to exchange some Star Gold.

However, the moment Josie stepped into the hotel, she knew she didn't need to waste her Star Gold.

Because in the hotel lobby, the three of them immediately spotted a figure surrounded by what looked like aliens.

The other side also spotted Josh and his group immediately.

"Hahaha, Josh! My friend, I never expected to meet you here! It's such a delightful surprise!" The other person laughed and strode towards Josh and his companions, giving Josh a big hug amidst the astonished gazes of the many aliens in the hall.

“Me too, Vlad! I never expected to see you here. I’ve heard that in just a few short years you’ve made a name for yourself—the Blood Lord. It sounds incredibly impressive.” Josie replied with a smile and a hug.

Indeed, the familiar face appearing in the hotel lobby was none other than Dracula, who had appeared countless times in Marville's words and brought much trouble to the universe.

But why is Dracula in Contila?

"Your Excellency Blood Lord, who is this?" Just as the two were catching up, a strange-looking, almost indescribable alien approached Dracula with several subordinates and asked him in a slightly obsequious manner.

“Josie Kahn, my best friend!” Dracula put his arm around Josie’s shoulder and then pointed to the alien and introduced him to Josie: “This is Kakamoshi, one of my partners. My territory produces a kind of phantom grass, which is a hundred times more potent than the hemp grass on Earth. It’s very popular in the universe.”

Goodness, after hearing Dracula's introduction, Josie instantly understood. It turns out that after Dracula arrived in space, he not only gained the nickname "Blood Lord" and occupied a lot of territory, but also started a space version of the flour business.

In his heart, Josie could only shout "Dracula is awesome!" a hundred times.

"So you are the esteemed Mr. Josh Kahn. It is a great honor to meet you." After Dracula finished introducing him, the alien named Kakamoshi immediately stepped forward and flattered Josh.

This alien named Kakamoshi naturally couldn't know Josie's background, but the fact that he was merely the Blood Lord's personally acknowledged best friend was enough for him to flatter him... Dracula calling him a partner was an understatement; in reality, he was just a slightly powerful cosmic businessman.

However, his meager power was utterly insignificant compared to Dracula, who already possessed a formidable reputation throughout the universe.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kakamoshi!" Josie greeted him politely, after all, he was one of Dracula's men, so she had to give him some face.

"By the way, how did you get here? Don't tell me that in just a few years, your company's aerospace technology has reached the point of interstellar travel," Dracula whispered in Josie's ear.

“It’s just a trip. Mar-Vell, remember the Kree warrior who sent you off Earth? She originally invited us to visit the Kree, but something happened along the way, and she was conscripted, so she sent us here instead,” Josie explained.

“Oh, it’s her. That makes sense. If she was called up, it must be because of the hijacking of the transport fleet, right? I wonder who was so bold. According to the news from the Kree, it was the Raiders who did it, but I don’t believe it. It’s not that the Raiders don’t have the ability, but they wouldn’t go to such lengths. More importantly, according to my information, almost all the Raiders who participated were wiped out. Only the Raider leader and a very small number of Raiders are missing.” Dracula immediately recognized Mar-Vell when he heard it was him. After all, they were acquaintances. As a rising star in the universe, his information network was also very good. As soon as Josie mentioned that Mar-Vell had been called up, Dracula immediately thought of the hijacking of the Kree transport fleet and said this.

He does not mean that.

The raider leader and a portion of the raiders have gone missing?

Weren't all the raiders wiped out back then?

Josie couldn't help but think to herself.

It seems I'll have to get Wenlesa to investigate what happened.

"By the way, are you planning to stay here?" Dracula asked, looking at Josie and the other two carrying their luggage, after briefly mentioning the Tikri transport fleet.

"Obviously, isn't it? This planet feels pretty good. Actually, I'm also planning to build an entertainment city like this, so this is a good opportunity to do some research," Josie replied casually with a smile.

“A wise decision, it will definitely be a very successful project. But there’s no need for a hotel. You’ve been hosting me before, now it’s my turn to host you. Although this is my first time in Contrasia, I’ve already had Kakamoshi help me buy a small house, and I’m just about to move there. You can stay there while you’re here, and all your expenses in Contrasia will be on me!” Dracula said generously.

It is a great pleasure to meet a fellow countryman from Earth in the universe, who is also an old friend, even if he is the extremely cruel and cold-blooded Grand Duke of Piercing.

Of course, Josie wouldn't refuse.

There was no greed for cheap deals involved; it was simply that having connections made things easier.

With the Blood Lord's banner in hand, Josie and her group will obviously find it much easier to operate in Contrasia and many other regions.

Of course, there are side effects too; the title of Blood Lord comes from endless slaughter.

While Josie enjoys the benefits of the Blood Lord title, she also attracts the attention of some of Dracula's enemies.

But would Josie care about that?

Dracula's Blood Lord signature move is indeed effective, but Josie's own trump card is no less impressive.

If it weren't for his concern for Earth and his dislike of being too flamboyant, he might have acted even more arrogantly than Dracula.

Soon after, the group moved from the hotel to Dracula's "small" house.

This small house is not in the previous luxury area, but in another luxury area.

Why are they in quotation marks? Because this house is indeed very small, only a few times taller than Neuschwanstein Castle, and more than ten times larger in area.

The entire building occupies one-third of the luxury area it occupies.

Moreover, the entire building presents an extremely exaggerated blood-red crystalline appearance.

They couldn't be more arrogant.

Tsk, you might as well change your name to Dracula Stark. Your aesthetic tastes are exactly the same as those of that father and son.

But he remembered that Dracula wasn't like this on Earth. His castles, while magnificent, were never this flashy.

How come they changed their personality after leaving Earth?

Josie said she couldn't understand.

All I can say is that Josie will never be able to understand the kind of pleasure Dracula felt when he was suddenly released after being suppressed by an old woman for hundreds of years.

Hmm? Doesn't something seem a little off?

Chapter 272 Heading to Morag

A few days later, Blood Lord's Fortress.

“I never imagined that you would change so much in just a few years!” Dracula exclaimed to Josie, holding a wine glass as he sat on the terrace of the fortress hundreds of meters above the ground.

Although Dracula didn't mention it when they met at the hotel, he could still tell from his keen eyesight that Josie was no longer the same person she used to be.

Even the instant he saw Josie, Dracula instinctively felt a sense of threat.

How long has it been? This kid has already grown to this level?

"Compared to your immense reputation in the universe in such a short time, I am far inferior!" Josie said with a smile. He had no intention of deliberately hiding his strength, and it was impossible to hide it from an old monster like Dracula.

"Heh, you little rascal, you're not being honest! That 'tourism' excuse only fools girls like Marwell. If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before another major power emerges in the universe!" Faced with Josie's flattery, Dracula shook his head slightly, revealing the truth in a single sentence.

As an ancient monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years, Dracula is not as easily fooled as Marville.

Moreover, as someone who was chosen by the ancient witch Gu Yi early on and now possesses great power, Dracula would never believe that Josie would be someone who is content to stay on Earth.

Josie just smiled at Dracula's words and didn't say anything more.

But this also indirectly confirms what Dracula said.

Among intelligent people, there's no need to spell things out too clearly.

"Haha, alright, I have a lot of things to deal with in my territory, so I won't keep entertaining you here any longer!" Seeing that Josie didn't speak, Dracula didn't mind. After all, in a real sense, their relationship was just that of friends and business partners who got along well, plus fellow countrymen from Earth. They weren't really close confidants.
