971. Tauren (middle)
On the spaceship, Rush-Clovis was still constantly looking for opportunities to get close to Padmé. Even wearing a seat belt seemed to be unable to stop him. His movements gradually began to become unscrupulous, caressing the back of Padmé's hand, and even wanted to reach out and kiss him.
Although Rock-Johnson were also sitting next to it, from Clovis's point of view, it was just a robot and it didn't matter. They have long been accustomed to being surrounded and served by robots, so even applauding for love in front of robots is absolutely fine (sure).
Anakin-Skywalker who saw this scene in the driver's seat was extremely angry. He turned to Padmé and Chief Guard who were sitting in the passenger seat and said, "Look at that guy's mouth! I bet it was at least one meter long just now!"
Chief Guard didn't know what to say, so he smiled and shrugged.
Anakin looked at the surveillance screen, smiled coldly, and said to himself, "Fortunately, I was prepared just now."
As he spoke, he turned on the intercom and pretended to exclaim, "Oh no! Be careful! There's an accident ahead!!" As he spoke, he suddenly turned the spacecraft to the side.
It had not yet left the atmosphere, and this sharp turn immediately caused the people in the cabin to fall to one side.
Rush-Clovis's mouth was only 1 centimeter away from kissing Padmé's face. He was very unhappy at being thrown away. "Is this the best pilot in the galaxy? Padmé. I think I can send it for you... hey..."
Before he finished speaking, the seat belt that was damaged by Anakin was suddenly disconnected! Clovis was suddenly thrown out and hit the frontmost seat.
"Clovis! Be careful!" Padmé stood up subconsciously, unbuckled his safety belt and went over to help Clovis up.
Anakin, who happened to arrive at the cabin, saw this scene and his eyes burst into flames. He took three steps at a time and walked forward. He said without courtesy, "I'm sorry, sir, two spacecrafts collided in front of me just now. But you are very lucky. The problem of the damaged seat belt was not discovered until the spacecraft crashed."
As he said that, he grabbed Clovis's shoulders with both hands, and unexpectedly grabbed Clovis, who was actually quite burly, and involuntarily pressed him down on the seat one space away from Padmé, then tapped the seat belt, "Okay, this seat is absolutely safe!"
Rush-Clovis was confused the whole time and could only be at the mercy of Anakin. After the other party left, he realized that he had been placed one seat away from Padmé, "Huh? This... this pilot is simply..."
Padmé smiled apologetically and said, "Haha, this person is a soldier, so his style is a bit vigorous, don't mind."
Little did he know that her smile, in Clovis's opinion, was just to comfort himself. He fully thought that Padmé had changed his mind and began to look forward to something more long-term.
Padmé glanced at the radiant expression on Clovis's face and knew what he was thinking.
She understands very well, for such a man, if you give them a look, they will think you are interested in him; if you say a word to them, they will think it is an expression of love; if you treat them to a meal, they will start to book a hotel room under the table; if it is to hold hands or something, that will be fine, and maybe they have even thought of the name of the child.
The spacecraft flew out of the atmosphere of Coruscant, and after leaving the gravitational circle, it started the hyperspace engine and went to Wealth World, which is famous for its luxury - Kato-Neimoidia.
After Rush-Clovis sent the identification code, the Trade Federation fleet on alert outside the planet released the spacecraft.
Anakin drove the spacecraft to Bridge City, the capital of Kato-Neimoidia. This is a city built on several huge bridges, with stunning scenery and extremely luxurious palaces.
"This is my first time coming to this planet..." Padmé looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, almost intoxicated.
"Haha, this is Wealth World, which Neimoidian spent centuries building. It is the most luxurious and comfortable planet in the galaxy." Clovis said.
"But... why would Neimoidian allow you to be here?" Padmé asked with a hint of meaning.
"Trade Federation has been owing us InterGalactic Banking Clan money. In fact, many industries on this planet have been mortgaged to us and converted into huge loans." Clovis said very proudly, and at the same time, he quietly wanted to put his hand on Padmé's slender waist.
Anakin, who was piloting the spaceship at the side, almost had fire in his eyes. Padmé also took into account his feelings and quickly slapped Clovis's hands away.
At the same time, Padmé also asked, "There have been rumors that Trade Federation is helping Separatists, so how much money did they ask you for the loan, and they actually used Kato-Neimoidia's properties as collateral?"
"The most recent one is 150 billion credits. As for the use, it's security expenses and escort expenses." Clovis said.
"That's money for the war."
"If you work in a bank, you need to ignore these messages, because it will make you lose fairness." Clovis shook his head and said, "For example, a person withdrew money at the bank, then bought a Blaster rifle, and killed two people on the street. Do you want to blame the bank? And does the bank also have to investigate this aspect? So how do you define what this person will use the money for? Believe me, this will only make you completely lose fairness."
The spacecraft landed in an extremely luxurious palace according to the navigation, and a group of people stepped off the spacecraft.
However, several people came towards Padmé, who was shocked, "Lot Dude? Why did Council Representative of Trade Federation appear here!"
Lott-Dude was obviously very surprised by Padmé's visit. He pointed at Clovis angrily and said, "What are you thinking?! Why did you bring the MP from Naboo here!? Don't you know that today is an important meeting?! You postponed the meeting without permission yesterday, and you actually brought an outsider today!"
Clovis said coldly, "I'm visiting my own property, what's the problem?"
Lot-Dude said angrily, "This is just a temporary mortgage! Temporary!"
"Let's wait until you find a way to repay the money." Clovis waved his hand and ignored him.
He turned around and said to Padmé, "Do you remember what I said yesterday? I am making an important investment. Please allow me to delay for a moment. I will finish discussing the investment-related matters and come to accompany you to appreciate the style of Bridge City."
Then, Clovis placed Padmé in the mansion and left here to have a meeting with Lott Dude.
Anakin-Skywalker whispered, "Lot Dude! This person is also very suspicious. It should be said that compared to the InterGalactic Banking Clan, Trade Federation's attitude is more obvious towards Separatists. Now that these two Mega-corporations giants are so close, there must be some conspiracy."
"I will try to see if I can get some information." Padmé said.
"I'll go with you. It's very dangerous here." Anakin said and was about to walk into the palace.
However, the palace Guardian stopped him directly, "I'm sorry, this servant is not allowed to enter such a noble place."
