335. Auction event

In the luxurious box, Tang Xiao looked down at the vast hall below, which could even be said to be the square. Various exotic flowers and plants are planted here, and water mixed with petals is sprayed in the fountain, which is fragrant.

Well-dressed waiters walked around diligently to provide services to the guests. These waiters were all handsome men and beautiful women. They would naturally provide other services if the guests needed them.

More than a dozen robots curled up into balls are rolling slowly around the outside of the hall. These are all Destroyer droid. Once needed, they will roll towards the target at high speed, stretch their bodies, unfold their shields, and then use two twin rapid-fire blasters to beat the enemy into a sieve.

When I was in this place, I never imagined that I was actually in a space station. Just maintaining the operation of this space station is a sky-high price.

"It's a waste." Glosse-Shelbia coldly defined this place, "Luxurious services will not increase your value in the minds of these people, but using the money to build a battlecruiser will."

"Not everyone can build a battlecruiser. Most of the time, even if you have money, you can't buy one." Tang Xiao fulfilled his duties and stood behind Glosse.

"That's why we are sitting here instead of crowding with the guests down below." Glosse picked up a glass of wine and took a sip himself. Then he smiled charmingly, twisted his waist and came to Tang Xiao, and gently breathed a breath of wine into his ear. "At this moment, I really want to get your reward... Mr. Bodyguard."

"There is no doubt that there is surveillance here, Miss Representative." Tang Xiao smiled slightly, "Besides, since you also know that it is a reward, you should also know under what circumstances the reward will be given, right?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at a flower pot, only to see a soft sizzle and some electric sparks flashing behind the flower pot.

Glosse pouted, put the wine glass in his hand to Tang Xiao's mouth, and half-forced him to take a sip of the wine where he had just drank. Then he returned to the sofa, tapped Omni-tool on his wrist, and revealed a light screen, "Cyrcexis Group is mainly engaged in the manufacturing of illegal robots. After Sev-Serrisix met the sector manager of Trade Federation, he got an order to manufacture Destroyer droid for Trade Federation."

She raised her hand and waved, and Omni-tool projected a holographic projection. On it was a robot curled up into a ball. After rolling rapidly for a while, the robot unfolded into a beetle-like shape. A small Deflector Shield was set up around its body. The two twin rapid-fire blasters on both sides poured out intensive firepower.

"Destroyer droid is a robot invented by the insectoid race Colicoids (Colicoids). Its firepower and protective performance are top-notch. The only drawback is that the three short legs can only move slowly when deployed. If you want to deploy quickly, you can only curl up and roll. But Deflector Shield cannot be deployed when rolling, so at that time, only one shot was needed to kill this expensive robot."

Glosse continued, "Later, there was a famine among the Colicoids people, and they are a race that relies heavily on meat. So Trade Federation used 50 ships of low-quality meat to obtain samples and blueprints of this kind of robot from them, and then reverse-analyzed and manufactured them in large quantities. Cyrcexis Group is one of the OEM companies responsible for manufacturing."

After saying that, she waved her hand gracefully, scattered the light screen, came over and said to Tang Xiao, "So, if I swallow Cyrcexis Group in one gulp, we will have a large-scale robot production line. How are you going to reward me? Bodyguard."

"Then first, we have to kill Sev, and this process must be natural and cannot be suspected on us. Hahahaha... And I happen to know someone who will take the blame. If I remember correctly, he has already started to take action." Tang Xiao came to the window and looked at the hall below.

Ni Yongxiao has arrived at the venue. He has several T-850 bodyguards with him. He is holding a crystal glass of fine wine and a cigarette between his hands. He is chatting happily with Dryden-Vos, the leader of Crimson Dawn.

Tang Xiao thought slightly, Ni Yongxiao seemed to feel something, glanced towards the box without any trace, and then made a hidden gesture.

Soon, a piece of information was sent to Tang Xiao. He looked at it and said to Glosse, "Just now Dryden-Vos provided an information. There were several people before. A powerful character caused trouble in Nal Hutta's capital, Hutt City, and killed more than ten people. One of them was Zabrak, and the other was Cade-Bane's gang."

"Cade-Bane? Under Jango-Fett, Hunter is known as the second most powerful bounty in the galaxy, and his asking price is not low. So this Zabrak should be Darth-Maul? Why is he here?" Glosse asked with a frown.

"He wanted to kill a Jedi Knight, but now he doesn't dare to expose it. So there is nothing more suitable for hunting than a Jedi apprentice who was missing, captured, and brought to this remote galaxy." Tang Xiao said calmly.

"You want to compete with him?"

"Oh, he has to call me uncle." Tang Xiao took a sip of wine, grabbed Glosse's slender waist due to the drunkenness, and then pressed hard on her mellow lips, then patted her buttocks and said, "Let's go down and walk around."

By this time, the guests had almost arrived. Sev-Serry Sykes came to the central high platform, and the exquisite loudspeaker device conveyed her voice clearly and softly to every corner.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this grand event. I see many old friends here, as well as many new friends. Thank you all for coming. And I am especially grateful to the representatives of Fourth Group, Glosse-Miss Shelbia, for coming." With that, the stage lights were turned on and shined towards the box.

However, the box was empty.

Sev smiled awkwardly, "It seems that Miss Shelbia doesn't want to show up in front of everyone, that's okay. Let's get straight to the point! As the invitation said, I got a Jedi apprentice. Her spaceship was shot down by pirates, and she was the only one who survived. Her name is Edra-Kestis (Eldra Kaitis), as the name suggests, is a beautiful Jedi apprentice."

"Perhaps as an apprentice, her value is not as good as that of a powerful Jedi Master, but believe me, such a beautiful and young Jedi apprentice can be used for many purposes..." As he spoke, Sev laughed ambiguously.
