"Oh, I wonder what it is that requires my help?"
Xia Ping raised an eyebrow and asked.
"It's like this." Sophia said in a deep voice, "I have three thousand commercial planets under my control. I acquired them through some rather unsavory means, though naturally all their paperwork is complete and they comply with the laws of the major human nations. They count as legal assets.
