Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

Yelena looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Black Tower doll leading Estella toward them, a smile appearing on her face.

"Hello, Ms. Heta, I am Toppa, one of the ten members of the company's Strategic Investment Department."

Each of the ten members of Stoneheart has their own cornerstone code name. Yelena's code name is Topaz, meaning she is pressing for the return of the jade.

After greeting Black Tower, Yelena turned to look at Estella.

"It's been a long time, Miss Estádio."

"Miss Topa, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the space station? If I hadn't been checking the platform landing information, I wouldn't have known about this at all," Estella said helplessly.

She was truly helpless...

Most of the staff on the space station probably don't know who Qi Zhimu is, but she does!

It is true that Ms. Black Tower is a genius, but she is also a woman.

…The jealousy in that last sentence wasn't obvious, but to say it was friendly, you could only say that anything is possible in a dream.

If Aster could tell, then Qi Zhimu certainly could too.

He didn't expect this day to come so soon. Since he had promised Black Tower not to interfere, he could only shrug.

May little Yelena remain steadfast and unyielding...

"I have a vague recollection of the previous topaz holder, but I didn't expect the new one to be so young. Your name is Yelena, right? You're doing quite well."

Hei Ta crossed his arms and sat down next to Qi Zhimu.

"...?"

Yelena was taken aback, her eyes flashing with undisguised surprise.

Hei Ta sat down next to Qi Zhimu, almost touching him.

This……

Even if it's a doll, it's still quite horrifying.

"Ms. Black Tower, you flatter me. Compared to you, the Stoneheart Ten are of no value whatsoever."

While responding politely, Yelena's probing gaze couldn't help but linger on the two of them.

Hei Ta allowed the other party to scrutinize and speculate, maintaining her usual aloof demeanor on the surface. Only she and Qi Zhimu knew what she was thinking in her heart.

It must be admitted that Yelena is quite pretty, although she is far less attractive than her.

But putting her aside, the former is also a rare beauty.

Especially her figure.

Fortunately, she got help from Ruan Mei, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to win on all fronts.

Ah…I am indeed perfect…Black Tower was intoxicated with self-satisfaction.

She could choose not to interfere with the bond Qi Zhimu had established before their reunion, but if he wanted to intrude, hmph...

We'll talk about it once we have enough weight.

The atmosphere became slightly awkward for a moment.

Yelena discovers that Qi Zhimu and the Black Tower seem to have an unusual relationship.

Qi Zhimu was fully aware of the situation, but there was an agreement to restrict him.

Needless to say, Heita has never hidden her intentions; it's just that others dare not think in that direction because of her status.

Since the Amber Period, only 84 geniuses have emerged since the birth of the Venus de Milo.

Each Amber Age lasts between 76 and 240 years, and only 84 people participated in each one over hundreds of thousands of years on the scale of civilizations throughout the entire universe, demonstrating its exceptional value.

This leads many people to attach stereotypical labels to geniuses, believing that they are all more rational than emotional and have eccentric personalities.

Apart from three geniuses among the top ten who have a lot of romantic gossip, most of the others have unimaginable private relationships.

Yelena was like that; she considered many possibilities but still dared not confirm the relationship between Qi Zhimu and the Black Tower.

After a while, the atmosphere became awkward, and Estella looked to Qi Zhimu for help, only to receive a helpless response, which made her feel dejected.

Well… the world where only she, the little stationmaster, was injured has been achieved.

Since that's the case, let's break the silence first.

"Miss Topa, your sudden visit to the space station must be for something important?"

When it came to business, Yelena put aside her random thoughts, swiped her hand, and pulled out a terrifying bill record.

"Ms. Black Tower's credit account has been frozen. Here is your recent bill."

Qi Zhimu stared at the large screen that had been pulled out, his gaze freezing.

He couldn't count how many zeros were in that string of numbers.

Once the count was complete, only one thought remained in my mind—

…This money is enough to buy his planet that was razed to the ground by the Destroyer Legion. Oh right, I almost forgot the amount: over a million!

Black Tower glanced at it and couldn't help but curl his lip.

"It's just a small amount of money, Estella, it's all yours."

Estelle: "..."

Could she say that even she was shocked when she saw that string of numbers?

Thankfully, I found the key card not long ago, otherwise the debt would have been delayed for a long time.

"...Miss Toppa, please swipe your card..."

Estelle sighed and handed over two black cards.

This caught Qi Zhimu's attention; it was a look that said, "I had a suspicion all along, but I still accidentally wandered into the imperial family's territory."

Qi Zhimu's inner thoughts: What terrifyingly rich people.

I had always thought that Estella left her family for freedom and came here to help the Black Tower manage the space station.

Their family background must have been quite good, but it seems that it was far underestimated.

Could it be that... the head of the Estád family is one of the highest-ranking employees in the company?

Recalling Yelena's polite tone when addressing her as "Miss," Qi Zhimu understood and couldn't help but look at the Black Tower.

Black Tower proudly raised the corners of his mouth, as if to say, "Look, this is the value and charm of genius. As long as you speak, there are no economic problems at all."

Even without saying a word, just casually releasing some research results can bring in huge amounts of patent fees.

Qi Zhimu chuckled inwardly, realizing that wasn't what he actually meant.

He certainly understood the value of genius.

I'm just curious what she did to help Estádio that made the latter willing to pay out of her own pocket to be responsible for the construction of the space station, and even her research funding.

Yelena was used to Estáe helping her repay debts, so she quickly settled the debt and returned the money to the original card.

"Now that the debt has been recovered, Ms. Heta, I have a letter for you to read."

Yelena's smile vanished instantly, and she took out the letter with a serious expression.

In those days, sending a personal letter by a messenger often represented the utmost sincerity.

Even Black Tower showed a slight surprise upon seeing the small P49 symbol on the envelope.

The Interstellar Peace Corporation has its reach throughout the universe, with its highest-ranking officer being P50, of whom there is only one: the Guardian Star God.

However, Cripper completely ignored humanity and never responded to the company's one-sided supporters.

Therefore, P49 is essentially the person in charge of the company, holding the wealth of the entire universe in their hands.

"interesting."

Hei Ta casually picked up the letter, opened it, and read it in front of Qi Zhimu without trying to hide it from him.

Unfortunately, Qi Zhimu couldn't understand it.

It's not that he's uncultured, but rather that his pen is completely blank, containing nothing at all.

Judging from Black Tower's expression, there was clearly something written on it that could only be read by her or through special means.

After a moment, Black Tower put down the letter and tapped his fingers lightly on the table in thought.

No one spoke to disturb her.

About half a minute later, Black Tower raised his eyes and said lazily, "Kid, you should know your mission, right?"

"Yes, Ms. Black Tower." Yelena nodded.

"Take the message back and tell them I agreed."
