Now that Aegis and their sudden interruption are taken care of, I can focus on other things. I make my way towards the exit of my apartment, and as I leave and head into the workshop, I see a familiar face walk in. Durado sees me and walks over.
I'm very fortunate to have a Legendary bounty hunter as my mentor. He suddenly opens his inventory and takes out a credit box. It's the same kind I used to take all the money from Paulie when I broke the bank playing blackjack.
This must be my share of the bounty. This means that Ziller is dead, and Durado has what he wants.
I look at the credit balance on the front display, and it's 560 million credits. That's more than I calculated, but my original estimate was based on what other systems value his corpse.
It seems the Empyrian and Impyra galaxies pay more than others would've. "You got the information you wanted from him?" Durado slowly nods his head.
I can tell he got something that doesn't make finding his daughter easy. "Anything I can help with?" He folds her arms and nods his head slowly. He opens his inventory again, and he hands me a name on a card. It says Teller-Bravo.
I've read some things about them scarcely. From the few sites I glanced over regarding the history of The Aeternus universe. I'm glad my mind works the way it does. I can recall anything at 100 percent accuracy.
Even just glancing at it once and not even spending time on it. "From what I know, Teller-Bravo is the top Scientific Corporation in the universe, and they're backed by multiple private militaries." I'm guessing that Teller-Bravo had something to do with the disappearance of his daughter. That isn't good.
He looks at me in curiosity, and before I can say anything else, he holds up his hand. "It's going to be two days before I can get any information regarding who I can find to tell me about my daughter. Until then, we're waiting here. I'll come get you the day I get the information. We'll go over it, and once we're done here. We'll leave Empyrian." I nod my head in excitement.
I'm glad I get to leave Empyrian soon, and I get to hunt with my mentor. It'll be awesome to perform an actual hyperjump for the first time.
It gives me just enough time to put Jessica's ship together and give it to her. It'll be here tomorrow, and I can construct it with plenty of time to spare.
9 hours to be exact. "Sounds like we got a plan. I'll be handling a project tomorrow. So if you need anything else from me, now is the time to ask." Durado shakes his head and makes his way toward the exit. He's a man a few words, and so am I.
It'll be easy to travel together. There's no need to fill anything with idle chatter since we're both the quiet type. I look down at the credit box and pick it up.
I take it over to one of the open counters in the workshop, and I press the commands on the panel to deposit the full amount into my inventory.
My funds have increased several-fold. I'd be passed a billion credits had I not spent so much on Jessica's ship parts, but in the end, it's just credited, and they can always be remade. I open my player interface to see my new credit balance.
I already know what it is. I like to see the giant number. I don't know if that makes me arrogant or something. In a way, it can be interpreted as such.
