This star has a large following in several star clusters of the Shattered Star Ring. He is a singer whose influence is not limited by physical distance due to the power of media.
This performance was to celebrate the traditional festival of the reunification of the New Feilan Alliance, an annual tradition, and this singer was the most popular among the invited members.
The performance takes place on a resort spaceship called the Wine and Celebration. Only the elites and wealthy merchants of the New Feilan Alliance can attend. To contact the target, you need to go to the event. So, the question is... how do you get tickets to the celebration performance?
Are you going to the Unification Day celebrations?
Upon learning the spaceship's destination, Sylvia rolled her eyes and said, "Don't dream about it. Every year, the audience members who can enter the venue are all big shots from New Feilan: government leaders, high-ranking military officials, senior government officials, and businessmen who contribute a fortune in taxes every year. With so many important figures gathered together, the security is extremely tight. Don't even think about sneaking in; you might be mistaken for an assassin."
Han Xiao glanced at her, "Have you finished memorizing the book I gave you last time?"
Upon hearing this, Sylvia's aura immediately weakened, and she muttered, "Isn't the assessment still a day away...?"
"By the way, you're a citizen of New Feilan, don't you want to go see it in person?"
"Who wouldn't want to go to the celebration in person? But ordinary people like us can only watch the TV broadcast."
Sylvia pouted, a hint of longing in her voice.
Unification Day commemorates the reunification of the various nations of the New Feilan Alliance after a period of division. It holds immense significance for the people of New Feilan, roughly equivalent to the National Day in Han Xiao's previous life. Sylvia wanted to attend every year, and given Langley's official rank, he was qualified to bring her into the venue. However, Langley was a rebel and spy.
Now a mercenary, she has no chance to enter the celebration anymore, and can only bury this small dream.
Mercenaries are powerful, but their social status is not high, and some are not respectable. After all, most interstellar citizens prioritize a peaceful life and only think of experts in handling such matters when they encounter trouble that must be resolved by force. Naturally, they don't want to deal with dangerous mercenaries on a daily basis. Moreover, most mercenaries are stateless free interstellar people. Although Han Xiao has cooperated with the New Feilan Alliance, this relationship is only enough to apply for a visit to prisoners, and he is not qualified to participate in large-scale celebrations.
Of course, nothing is absolute. Given Dragon Calm's background, if Han Xiao could bring Ames over, he didn't believe the New Feilan Alliance would dare not invite the Dragon Emperor in. Not only that, but it would definitely be a first-class VIP seat, where he would sit on equal footing with the alliance leader.
What? You're not giving me any face Dragon Emperor?
Have you ever seen a brick the size of a planet?
So having power is really comfortable. Once you reach a certain level of strength, you no longer need to lift a finger; just showing your face is enough.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and pondered, "Since you want to go to the scene, I'll take you with me. It's just a small favor."
Sylvia was taken aback, and said suspiciously, "You really have tickets to the show? That's impossible..."
"No tickets are needed," Han Xiao waved his hand. "Someone will invite me in."
I don't believe it.
Sylvia clearly lacked confidence. After a pause, she said impatiently, "Besides, I still have to memorize my lessons..."
"Alright, alright, I'll give you a day off."
Han Xiao chuckled and shook his head. "It's true what they say: 'There's a road to heaven, but you choose not to; the sea of learning is boundless, and you have to work hard to cross it.'"
Melos leaned closer, expressionless. "Let me guess, should I stay and watch the ship?"
"Wow, my brother, we're getting more and more in sync, we're practically telepathic!"
Han Xiao clapped exaggeratedly, making a loud "clap clap" sound, while Melos looked helpless.
The Wine and Celebration is docked at the spaceport on New Feilan, a giant, relatively flat hexagonal spaceship surrounded by numerous escort ships. The dock is closed to the public today to accommodate all celebration participants in preparation for the Unification Day celebrations.
In the airport terminal, a huge crowd had gathered—all citizens of New Feilan —to watch the boarding ceremony.
All performers and political leaders board the ship through a passageway in the harbor. This is a ritual that marks the start of the Unification Day celebrations and is the only opportunity for ordinary citizens to get close to the scene, so it is extremely crowded.
Han Xiao was in the crowd at that moment. The crowd surged around him, but he remained unmoved. Sylvia had to hold onto his clothes tightly to avoid being pushed away.
At the edge of the crowd were rows of soldiers maintaining order, preventing anyone from rushing onto the boarding road. The soldiers along this section frequently glanced at Han Xiao Han Xiao, their eyes filled with warning and vigilance, clearly recognizing him as a highly threatening superhuman.
"Black... Black Star... I want to ask you one last time..."
Sylvia's voice trembled, she swallowed repeatedly, and her expression was tense, "We really don't want to cause a riot and crash onto the spaceship, do we? Even though I've given you the next ten years of my life, please don't let me die so soon..."
Han Xiao didn't bother to answer and waited silently.
After a while, a commotion broke out in the crowd in the distance. One by one, important figures, accompanied by guards, finally began to board the ship. The crowd erupted in deafening cheers. These important figures wore kind smiles and waved to the crowd as they walked. Han Xiao had a feeling that they would burst out with "Comrades, you've worked hard" at any moment.
"They're starting to board... Wow, that's the Speaker of the Alliance, I used to see him on TV all the time."
Sylvia, ignoring her scolding, quickly craned her neck and let out a series of gasps.
She didn't believe Han Xiao could get into the venue from the start. Now that boarding had begun, the fact that Han Xiao was still here meant he wasn't one of those boarding. But Sylvia didn't expose him. She was already very satisfied to be here to watch the boarding ceremony. Her father hadn't allowed her to come before, so this was the first time she had seen the Unification Day celebration spaceship up close. Even if she couldn't get on, she was still quite happy.
Although Langley was a rebel, he raised his daughter Sylvia to love her country.
One by one, the figures walked past. Suddenly, an even louder shout came from afar, surging like a wave. Han Xiao looked up and saw a group of assistants escorting a humanoid figure with a light veil covering his face as he walked gracefully towards them. The masked person revealed a pair of eyes painted with black eyeshadow, exuding charm and elegance. Even the solemn blue robe could not conceal the allure he radiated.
"Morning Star! Morning Star!"
The cheers were deafening.
Han Xiao nodded secretly. This was the mission triggerer, a singer known by the stage name "Morning Star." Judging from the almost ear-shattering cheers, one could tell how successful this person's career as a star was.
By the way, this person is male.
As Morning Star passed the section of road where Han Xiao was, she suddenly stopped, slowly turned her head, her gaze piercing through the crowd, precisely locking onto Han Xiao. The next moment, she strode over.
The crowd erupted in cheers, eager to rush forward and touch their idol. Soldiers held back the throng, narrowly avoiding a stampede, and gritted their teeth, saying, "Lord Morning Star, please do not approach. It is not safe here."
"It's okay, no one will hurt me."
Morning Star spoke, his voice gentle and extremely pleasant, as pure as water. Those who heard it felt calm, and the commotion in the crowd miraculously stopped. He walked into the crowd.
The crowd spontaneously made way for them.
Finally, Morning Star stopped in front of Han Xiao and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, smiled lightly and said, "Hello, I hope it would be an honor to invite you to watch my performance live."
