Dark Overlord - Solomon

(Congratulations to the two Newly Advanced Helmsman, "Chen Xi Feng Ying" and "Lao Shu Ao Ye All Night"! And who among the veteran readers forgot to congratulate them? Leave a comment in the book review section! I'm releasing two chapters today, and I'll do it again tomorrow night...)

Wen Wen, who was just an ordinary product manager at the Arabella Company's roadshow today, actually managed to win the favor of two managers from the Peier Merchant Guild. The two mechs sold were of extraordinary strategic significance to the company.

With a broad smile, Wen Wen stepped forward and said, "Welcome to our two distinguished guests. It is our honor that our friends from Xinqiluo are able to purchase our products."

Fan Lunding, who was watching with his arms crossed, also had a smile on his face.

He was present when the deal went through, and his commission will be substantial when he gets back.

Mu Fan seemed to have become an insignificant person at the scene.

The customers who had hesitated before now flocked forward again, making Mu Fan's standing there seem like a joke.

"Sigh, I really can't stand it anymore. Ignorant people always think that what they see is the whole story." A sigh from the side drew the attention of the onlookers once again.

This is quite a scene! Coming to see a traveling exhibition has turned into a series of twists and turns. The area in front of this Arabela Weapons Company is really bustling!

Um?

The two managers of the Peier Merchant Guild, who looked displeased, turned to look at the person who had spoken.

The person in question hasn't even spoken yet, so who is it this time?

An unremarkable, slightly chubby man wearing non-prescription Glasses was looking at the two of them with a regretful expression.

The two looked at each other intently.

Are you talking about us?

Wensen's purple eyes darkened, making his already ugly appearance appear even more ferocious.

Shorty Sandy also looked over with an unfriendly expression. The two of them had always been respected wherever they went with the Peier Merchant Guild, but now they were being ridiculed at a touring exhibition.

Did he know their true origins?

However, I believe that those present do not possess such insight.

Ignorance?!

It's ridiculous!

Their experiences are not for a bystander to judge.

Damn it, if this were outside the territory, he wouldn't have had a chance to say a second word.

Unfortunately, this is Federation.

Seeing the fierce glint in their eyes, Mu Fan, standing to the side, chuckled and turned to look without saying a word.

The young man in the ordinary travel jacket pushed up his Glasses and continued, "Knowing full well, yet still going to confirm it, to be a clown in other people's eyes—that feeling is hard to understand."

Pfft~

That's so mean.

These slow and deliberate words, when spoken, are undeniably malicious!

Moreover, upon closer examination, it even contains some philosophical insights.

This man is interesting.

Wen Wen and Fan Lunding also looked at the man with some displeasure.

It's fine if you don't buy, but it's wrong to come and bother them.

"Where do you get the confidence to question our experience in Xinqiluo?"

Yes, that's the most prosperous place in the interstellar space.

The onlookers nodded in agreement.

Pushing up his Glasses, the young man gestured with his chin toward Mu Fan.

"Your experience is a disservice to your status. A truly knowledgeable person is standing here, yet for some reason you are met with ridicule."

"Erudition? How ridiculous! I really don't see it anywhere." Wensen's forehead bulged even more, a sign of anger in the Purple Whisker Race.

"You weren't observant enough. Didn't you notice that after he said those things, his fingers were stroking and tapping a metal part on the display stand, and he was looking through the mecha's certificate of conformity and instruction manual? I think this product manager should understand why, right?"

The smile on the young man's face sent a chill down Wen Wen's spine!

Metal parts!

These four words struck a chord with him.

However, Wen Wen's face showed no change. "I really don't understand what you're saying, sir."

"If you don't understand, then forget I said anything. Overall, this mecha is pretty good." The tone shifted again, and this time Mu Fan was a little confused. The young man's words were quite meaningful.

"Because it was, after all, a product of the Gador Empire that had been tested in actual combat."

A bombshell dropped, stunning everyone present.

Holy crap, the Gador Empire has made an appearance, and they're still tens of light-years away!

Don't scare people!

"This gentleman's descent into the Gador Empire is rather alarmist."

"It is now the 257th year of the Federation's New Calendar. At the end of the 255th year of the New Calendar, Professor Wang Wenyi participated in a technical inspection with the War God Academy of the Gador Empire. The Michael Particle Lightsaber did indeed appear in a mecha that was officially sold in the Federation for the first time, but it already had a year of combat experience in the Light Martial Artist Mecha Legion of the Gador Empire. Grandmaster Fan Lunding, am I right?"

The young man continued to speak slowly and deliberately, but his language was carefully chosen. "First time, formal, public sale..."

These words, which others had overlooked, horrified Fan Lunding.

"Let's set that question aside for now. Let's talk about you two. The Peier Merchant Guild has made numerous trips to the Emperor Star of the Gador Empire since the year 256 of the New Calendar. Several professors at the War God Academy are partners of the Peier Merchant Guild. Logically, you should know more about this than we do... Of course, this is from an ordinary person's perspective."

What does "from the perspective of an ordinary person" mean?

With a deluge of information pouring in, the two people at Arabella Company were also a little confused.

Mu Fan's ear clicked in admiration, "Mu Fan, look at him, his eloquence, his knowledge base, he just spoke so smoothly and methodically."

Mu Fan sighed helplessly.

With a snap of his teeth, in the relatively noisy environment, no one heard Mu Fan's voice travel along his bones into the earphones without even leaving his mouth.

"Isn't it you I'm here for?"

"Hahaha~ It's only natural that I'm so wise and powerful. You performed well today! I'll go and scout out the Star Curtain Trading Company Post for you!"

The sound in the headphones went out instantly.

Mu Fan:...

What will he do if he walks like this for a while?

Wensen over there was furious to be mocked like that by a human!

If this person weren't within the Federation's borders, he definitely wouldn't have survived the next minute.

What if I said I didn't know?

Wensen's tone was strange yet chilling.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Actually, nothing much happened today. This mecha is great, but even when people question it, it gets ridiculed. The problem is that the ridicule isn't even right, which is unbearable."

The young man shrugged.

"I'm sorry to have put you through this, buddy."

The young man then smiled at Mu Fan and turned to leave.

"Hey kid, stop right there! I can apply for Xinqiluo's diplomatic privileges within the Federation. This is discrimination against our Peier Merchant Guild and the Purple Whisker Race of the Xinqiluo Alliance!"

This is going too far. Some viewers couldn't stand it anymore. A mere argument could attract the attention of the Federation special forces. This is a bit much.

But this young man was really unlucky.

However, other customers who were preparing to buy the Wind Speed Gladiator were watching with great interest, as if they were watching a play.

"You two haven't changed at all. What agreement did the Peier Merchant Guild reach with you before coming here together?"

"What do you mean?" The short Sandy Conan raised his high forehead and looked at him.

"I wonder which gatekeeper is behind you two? The Solomon Seventy-Two Pillar Knights are renowned throughout the galaxy! Are your organization and Xinqiluo currently in a honeymoon period?"

Solomon...

Fan Lunding's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing those three words! He stared at the two strange Purple Whisker Race opposite him!

For those who frequently travel through interstellar space, there exists a forbidden and terrifying existence.

It's not one of those four well-known factions: the Freedom Alliance, the Xinqiluo Merchant Alliance, the Interstellar Mecha Association, or the Beyond Domain Star River.

Instead, it is independent of the Star River Federation and the Gador Empire, hidden beneath the four major extraterrestrial forces, and possesses Gao Wu — Solomon, a dark overlord-level force!
