Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 276 Anemone

When Coyote Twelve brought the next message, the afternoon meeting was already coming to an end.

Blue Star approved the application for the Sixteen-Star Summit with a unanimous vote, becoming the first new star to join the council in recent decades. As a representative, the Third Prince expressed his vision for future peaceful development and mutual benefit with all planets.

All news media in the universe made this news the headlines at the first opportunity. By that evening, the entire universe knew the name of the third prince.

A young diplomat with mature political ideas.

The third prince left the venue surrounded by the crowd. The directors from other planets had already reserved private rooms in the banquet hall. They did not want to waste the dinner process. In the following time, they could communicate with the young prince on future trade cooperation and political stance.

After waking up, Coyote Twelve also actively communicated with Duan Mingyuan.

"You f**king bastard!"

The moment the phone was connected, the familiar curses came out.

Duan Mingyuan also heard the sound of water. Apparently, someone was taking a shower when this Bebop cowboy was making the call.

Coyote Twelve's curses sounded sad and angry, and full of regret.

"Mr. Cowboy, this is the consequence of leaving your post and drinking during work hours, especially when the person you are drinking with is a member of the Eastern Front."

Duan Mingyuan moved the phone further away and commented calmly.

"It's not like I haven't had a drink with her before!"

"You've never mentioned your true thoughts to her before, Mr. Cowboy. According to big data statistics, more than 80% of the results of blade fights are caused by both parties not being honest and playing tricks on each other."

Based on the awkward relationship between Coyote Twelve and Mocking Dove, Duan Mingyuan has already foreseen the tragedy that will happen in the future.

When Cowboy Bebop finally expressed her feelings through a long letter, she had already embarked on the journey to Hot Sands. Although Mockingjay immediately sent the fleet to the Hot Sands region, all that was waiting for her there was endless sand.

Duan Mingyuan resisted this future with his real name, especially since those caught in the tragedy were members of the Ranger's crew.

"you--!"

"Mr. Cowboy, ask yourself, what exactly are you dissatisfied with now?"

Duan Mingyuan asked back.

"Dissatisfied? Of course I am dissatisfied. I have many complaints!"

"for example?"

"Like, you're taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"

Coyote Twelve was still furious, and took advantage of the fact that he was drunk and had no ability to resist. This was against the style of a fair duel. "Normally, I should be on top!"

The result is fine, but the process is a big problem.

"This is a private matter between you two and you should resolve it between yourselves."

Duan Mingyuan was only a doctor and could not interfere with the details. "The afternoon meeting is over. The night is still long. You should solve the specific details by yourselves. Good luck."

Another case has been resolved, and it is time for the medical team to go off work.

He hung up the phone and threw aside Coyote Twelve's defiant words.

Before he could take a few steps, his way was blocked by an uninvited guest.

Compared to the last time they met, Carloya was much more distant. Even though she still had a formal smile on her face, her expression was very stiff, and she kept a distance of more than five meters from him. "You left in such a hurry last time that I didn't even have time to say goodbye to you."

Duan Mingyuan took the initiative to break the awkward silence. His social skills have become stronger recently. If it were in the past, he would have just nodded to Gabriella and then left quickly, doing what he was supposed to do.

He really doesn't like socializing after work, and when he's resting, he just wants to stay at home and watch videos.

"Last time, something urgent happened on my ship, and there was a problem with a project I was working on."

Carloya continued to tell lies that neither side believed in order to maintain the dignity between them.

In fact, if her superiors had not specifically asked her to come here, she would definitely not want to deal with Duan Mingyuan again.

Bad luck is contagious, and Duan Mingyuan is the most "toxic" type.

After leaving Blue Star, bad luck continued to haunt her for a long time. All the projects she handled had problems to varying degrees, making the past half month extremely difficult for her.

"Mr. Duan Mingyuan, you haven't eaten yet, right? Today, the Chamber of Commerce has set up a dinner party at the Dome Restaurant of the Gear Hotel. The committee wants me to personally invite you. The Chamber of Commerce's top management attaches great importance to this summit and the changes on the Mechanical Planet, and has decided to personally come to witness this summit to prevent any more accidents from happening."

As he spoke, a roar sounded again from the sky above the Mechanical Throne.

The directors of the summit came to the window like frightened birds and looked towards the source of the sound. When they saw the huge shadow appearing above their heads, their faces changed.

The night sky above was lit up by the lights of the flagship, and the light and shadows shone on the land of the Mechanical Throne like a blooming silver anemone.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd.

They obviously recognized the meaning of the silver anemone. After a brief shock, they even spoke involuntarily in a lowered voice and became cautious.

"The current head of the Silver Lotus family is very interested in your deeds and hopes to talk to you in person. The time is 19:30. Once the head of the family is ready, he will go to the rooftop terrace."

Carloya handed the invitation letter with silver lace to Duan Mingyuan. After completing the task, she walked away quickly. She didn't want to be alone with Duan Mingyuan even for a moment, leaving the confused Duan Mingyuan there.

He had never heard of the Silver Lotus Family, but from the few words that Carloya said, he could guess that the other party was a high-ranking official of the Chamber of Commerce.

For this reason, he had to seek off-field assistance and told the third prince what had just happened.

The Third Prince naturally noticed the arrival of the flagship, and perhaps because of the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, he couldn't help but lower his voice when speaking, sounding sneaky.

"The family is the real owner of the Chamber of Commerce. I didn't expect that even they would come."

The third prince muttered, "Do you remember that story? The ancestors of the Semitic people once made a huge bet with the God of Trade, Heya, and they lost their planet in that bet."

"remember."

"The Silver Lotus family is the descendant of that bloodline, but they have always been very hidden and almost never show up in public."

This mysterious veil has given rise to endless fantasies and countless rumors about the Yinlian family.

But no matter which planet or civilization, a basic consensus has been reached.

——The family controls half of the universe.

And now, they are working on owning the entire universe.

"You are about to meet the richest man in the universe."
