Under the Starry Sky

(Congratulations to the Newly Advanced Helmsman "Xuan Guoguo")

The business leaders who were watching have decided to file a collective complaint against Star River Yunbang Company later. Did your company send an ancestor to deliver the package?

At a luncheon hosted by a renowned interstellar heavy industry corporation, a courier from your company brazenly barged into the venue, demanding that those being expelled sign for a package, and repeatedly disrupted the banquet's order.

Okay, I've decided to write it this way.

Someone has already prepared a draft.

When the metal box slammed heavily onto the ground, Mu Fan realized that the bald man wasn't joking with him.

"Mine?" Mu Fan pointed to the tip of his nose.

"Okay, let's go through the procedures by signing your name."

After the bald man finished speaking, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed over a pen.

Having been ignored, Xiao Rongrong muttered subconsciously, "Star River Yunbang, they actually signed for it with a pen?"

What era are we living in? Aren't electronic signature procedures the norm now?

"An apprenticeship agreement?"

When Mu Fan saw the crumpled title, he realized that it was not a delivery slip at all. He paused for a moment and looked up at Ruan Xiongfeng.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and sign it."

Mu Fan gave a helpless bitter smile and quickly signed his name.

"Alright, you little brat over there, didn't you want to ask if he was a nobleman? If he's not a nobleman, he can't attend this kind of banquet." Satisfied, Ruan Xiongfeng stuffed the crumpled paper back into his suit and said to Yuan Xian.

"Hmph, this kid's appearance is completely against the rules of the banquet. I'm just making a choice for the majority. If there's no explanation, he and you are both out of here."

"I hate you pretentious people the most. Come on, kid, hurry up and open the box. I need to take this box back to the company."

Ruan Xiongfeng, bored, made a sarcastic remark to Yuan Xian, then gestured for Mu Fan to open the metal box.

The company logo of Star River Yunbang is cut out on the silver alloy. The entire box fits together perfectly, as if it were a single piece. On the front of the box, there is a round, palm-sized blue light that breathes rhythmically.

This is undoubtedly a package from Star River Yunbang! The blue light is not electronic light, but a natural blue crystal from a restricted area. Only a wealthy and powerful company like Star River Yunbang would use such luxurious packaging.

Some of the senior executives present recognized that this was a Star River Yunbang S-level express delivery service, and the sender had definitely been assessed by Star River Yunbang.

"Press your hand on it."

"Baldy Ruan reminded me of," he said.

Mu Fan placed his hand on the box.

A blue ripple swept across, and with two sharp cracks, the top of the metal box split open at the four corners, and the four sides of the box unfolded.

A black triangle glowing red was revealed inside, and a mechanical voice announced, "Please aim either eye at the red area."

The Ink Triangle?

Now some people started to feel a little uneasy.

This level of courier service proves that every step of the item's delivery will be under the watchful eye of the powerful Federation Military.

military?

People began to look around.

Mu Fan slowly lowered his head under the watchful eyes of those around him.

"I have no interest in watching you fool around here. Someone who doesn't even have a family crest is not the heir to any company. It's a miracle that we've waited this long, Old Mr. Wang. What do you say?" Yuan Xian looked at Wang Ji questioningly.

Wang Ji's face darkened again upon hearing this. "This is Luoqi Heavy Industries banquet. Sir, I can give you one minute. If I don't hear a satisfactory explanation, then you and this young man should both leave the venue. As for Wayne, whatever the outcome, I can only express my deepest regret."

Wayne, who was standing next to him, felt a chill in his heart upon hearing the news, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Regardless of the outcome...

It's truly a tragedy for a small family.

As for the fat man, he doesn't care what kind of company or power you are. He only knows that his brother is being looked down upon and bullied!

So what if I get eliminated? Who cares!

Mu Fan had already bent down, ignored the gazes and whispers of those around him and focused his right eye on the area of red light.

A ripple swept out.

"Identification successful. Recipient: Mu Fan. Please retrieve your item. Star River Yunbang is dedicated to serving you."

The Ink Triangle dispersed again, this time the special alloy shell was a full five centimeters thick!

Everyone's eyes were drawn to that.

There lay there quietly a gray and blue paper letter, next to a round black metal bead.

"Heh, I thought it was something serious. Whether you two leave or not is not up to you this time." Yuan Xian chuckled.

Wang Ji frowned; he decided to call his private guards to end this farce.

Suddenly, Ruan Xiongfeng, who had been listlessly lounging around, put his finger to his lips, looked at everyone, and said softly:

"Shh, be quiet."

The bead suddenly floated up, and then the black metal on its surface began to rise and fall like digital pixels. Then, it suddenly doubled in size, and a pale blue light screen emerged above it.

Holographic Image Pearl!

After a few shakes, the image stabilized, and everyone could see that it was a room with a long and storied history, from the endless bookshelves in the back to the weathered and rustic table.

What is this thing?

Suddenly, an elderly man appeared in the scene. His hair and beard were frosty white, but he was vigorous and had a ruddy complexion that was unusual for his age. His face radiated a healthy glow. A gray long-sleeved uniform with gold trim accentuated the old man's dignified presence.

The holographic image alone exuded an aura of authority that seemed even stronger than Wang Ji's.

Who is this old man? He looks familiar.

Some people in the crowd frowned, feeling as if they had seen the old man somewhere before.

Yuan Xian, who was standing next to him, was already getting impatient.

A High-level Executive of the Mountain Haze Society was being snubbed here more than he had in the previous five years.

With a gesture, the members of the Mountain Haze Society moved closer to Mu Fan.

Ruan Xiongfeng grinned, completely unconcerned about this small gesture.

The old man in the picture coughed once and finally turned his gaze forward.

Only then did people realize that this dignified old man was watching everyone from somewhere unknown.

What a powerful aura!

"Hello, student Mu Fan."

The old man spoke softly, his voice reaching the ears of every viewer with perfect clarity.

Students?

Mu Fan?

Is this kid a student?

But the next second left everyone present, including Yuan Xian, Xiao Rongrong, and even Wang Ji, young and old, stunned.

"I am Tang·Andreles, the dean of the Dingchuan Academy."

The fat man, who had been furious, suddenly stopped breathing and stared intently at the old man with his mouth wide open.

What did he just hear?

Yuan Xian's cold smile froze on his face before it could even fade.

Even if he's arrogant, he still knows the name Dingchuan. What did this old man just call himself?!

Upon hearing this, Wang Ji, who was being supported by Wang Nuonuo, suddenly raised his head.

The group of onlookers, who were expecting a laugh, froze, then stared incredulously at the holographic image.

"As the dean of the academy, I am delighted to see such outstanding students among this year's candidates. This is an honor for Dingchuan, and even more so... my honor!"

When mortal vision breaks through the clouds, their insignificance quietly appears Under the Starry Sky.

Tang·Andreles, a true legend who personally participated in the constitutional amendment and is known as a living fossil of the Federation, solemnly uttered these words that sent chills down everyone's spines with a smile on his face.
