Huang Yao hadn't given an exact location, only saying it was a remote planet.
A round trip would take two and a half years. That showed just how remote it was.
That wasn't a problem. The pay was generous, after all, and two million had already tempted Qi Yu.
But what about her safety?
She barely knew Huang Yao. What if this was a trap he had set, with several God Rank experts waiting to ambush her?
Then Huang Yao would keep his money and get her crystal too.
Huang Yao might have been a stooge hired by one of her enemies.
Huang Yao kept pestering her, finally offering the five million Chen Luo had suggested.
Five million! Who could earn five million in two and a half years?
The higher Huang Yao's offer climbed, the more certain Qi Yu became that he had sinister intentions. In the end, she simply cut off the call.
Huang Yao froze for a moment, then gave a wry chuckle as he realized what worried Qi Yu.
Back then, if Snake Mother hadn't been his friend and gone with him, he wouldn't have dared go either.
Huang Yao sighed deeply. "This is tough. I'm afraid I won't find anyone for our young friend's request."
Two days later, Huang Yao's steward reported, "There's a young man outside who says he's your friend. His name is Chen Luo. He really is young."
What? Chen Luo?
Huang Yao was stunned. They had still been in contact a few days ago, and flying from that location would take three months. How had he gotten here already?
That fast?
Huang Yao muttered to himself. Was Void Walk really that fast?
Huang Yao perked up. "Show him in at once! No, I'll welcome him myself. Go fetch Little Li too."
