"How could I not know? You have no idea how enjoyable our conversation was. Miss Kerry is so gentle and kind, we have even exchanged identity cards. She is the daughter of a trade company owner, oh my, you are doing me a great favour indeed."
A thought struck Sky Scar, recalling something he had learned back at the Academy of Zhongting. He quickly asked, "Did she return your identity card?"
"Of course she did. We just used the special card reader in the Luxury cabin waiting room to swap information. Now think about this, she was willing to let me see her personal data, if that doesn't show her feelings for me, I don't know what will. But worry not, I had my data specially processed; she will only view me as a wealthy businessman. This is fantastic, utterly fantastic. You must be jealous right? Excuse me, I need to return to my beautiful Miss Kerry." As he reveled in self-admiration, Feng Yuan turned to leave.
Sky Scar sprung to his feet, grabbing Feng Yuan, "Wait. You dolt, how could you casually give out your identity card? If you could disguise your identity, couldn't others do the same? Let's go check if your card is still intact."
Feng Yuan was confounded, exclaiming in disbelief, "Big Brother, are you saying… No, this isn't possible."
Sky Scar let out a derisive laugh, "Nothing is impossible in this world. Let the facts speak for themselves. Since you're convinced that your Miss Kerry is completely virtuous, why not give it a shot? If I am proven wrong, I'll cover all your expenses when we get to the Ming Huang Star."
Feng Yuan glared at Sky Scar, "Since you are being so generous, I'll oblige."
The two of them arrived at a scanner within the transport ship. Under Sky Scar's direction, a reluctant Feng Yuan inserted his card and donned the holographic sensory glasses. Initially, he displayed no change in expression, but as he conducted a few operations his face turned paler and paler.
Stripping the holographic glasses off, Feng Yuan gasped, "No, this can't be."
Sky Scar looked at him with a calm demeanor, "Well, who got it right now? Your judgement or my assumption?"
Feng Yuan let out a woeful cry, "My money... My money is all gone!" His loud cry immediately attracted an employee from the transport ship. Seeing the symbol worn by prestigious guests on Feng Yuan, the worker approached them respectfully, "Sir, can I assist you with anything?"
Feng Yuan pushed the worker away and ran as fast as he could towards the luxury cabins.
A cold glint flashed in Sky Scar's eyes. He thought; someone actually dared to swindle my brother. It seems I will have to intervene. His body surrounded by Cosmic Energy, he quickly followed Feng Yuan.
A broadcast announcement echoed, "Attention all passengers, attention all passengers, Transport Ship C203922 is about to take off. Please fasten your seat belts to avoid any accidents."
Feng Yuan, under the influence of his loss, was dejected. Pushing himself beyond his physical limits, he rushed into the luxury cabins. Just as he arrived at the boundary between the luxury cabins and the economy class, he was stopped by two security personnel.
"Sir, please pay attention to your safety. The transport ship is about to take off."
"Get out of my way! Let me in." Feng Yuan barked angrily.
"Sir, please stay calm. Our esteemed guests are in the luxury cabins. Please refrain from causing a disturbance."
Sky Scar appeared in front of Feng Yuan and said coldly, "My friend got scammed. Let us in."
The security personnel frowned, "Please do not slander our guests. All our guests in the luxury cabin are of great importance."
Sky Scar, not wanting to waste any more time, snorted in displeasure and moved like a bolt of lightning. His right palm struck the neck of the two guards. Before their bodies could even hit the ground, he and Feng Yuan had already stormed into the luxury cabin area.
"Feng Yuan, calm down, where is your Miss Kerry?" Sky Scar looked at the numerous independent doors around him, full of confusion.
Feng Yuan gasped, "Every guest in the luxury cabin has their own suite. She's in Suite 16. Before I came to find you, she invited me over to her place."
Sky Scar glanced at the room number and went with Feng Yuan to the door of Suite 16. Just then, the floor beneath them shook violently as the transport ship finally took off. Amid the deep rumbling, the feeling of being pushed back grew stronger and stronger. Feng Yuan stumbled and almost fell.
Sky Scar grabbed Feng Yuan and held on tightly to the doorknob of Suite 16, stabilizing both of them. His mental power penetrated the door through the spatial waves. It seemed like there were a few people talking inside.
A soft voice laughed, "That guy is adorably idiotic. He was so easy to deceive. He seemed quite clever, I thought it would take some effort. But it seems I didn't even need to seduce him."
Another man's voice said, "Kerry, don't be too careless. We'll stick to the original plan. It's quite a surprise to get so much this time. Didn't expect the poorly dressed kid to actually have quite a bit of money."
"Don't worry, Skyride. Without the guest's permission, no room in the luxury cabin can be opened, not even by the captain. Also, each luxury cabin has a special passage. As long as we disguise ourselves before we reach Ming Huang Star, we don't need to worry about the kid finding out. He might still be dreaming."
The strong push-back feeling gradually subsided. Sky Scar gave Feng Yuan a look, quietly telling him everything he heard. Feng Yuan's face turned beet red. From the time he started thieving, he had always been the deceiver, not the deceived. And this time, not only was he deceived, but he lost all his possessions. He was seething with anger. He looked at Sky Scar seriously and said, "Big Brother, this time you must help me. As long as you can retrieve my money and teach those bastards a lesson, I'll cover all the expenses on Ming Huang Star. Plus, from now on, I'll consider you my big brother. If you tell me to go east, I'd never go west."
Sky Scar curiously asked, "Exactly how much money do you have in your identity card?"
Feng Yuan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "More than six million coins. That's all I have!"
Sky Scar exclaimed, "What? That much? Did you rob a bank, kid?"
Feng Yuan said proudly, "Do you think my title as the number one God Thief in the Cosmic Alliance is for nothing? Otherwise, why would there be so many people after me? Big Brother, that's the money for my coffin! You know, the basic Metamorphosis Technique requires about five million coins. I was saving up for that."
Sky Scar patted his shoulder, feeling the no longer intense push-back sensation, and stood straight. He said, "Leave everything to me." He pulled Feng Yuan back a step. Under Feng Yuan's astonished gaze, he lifted his right hand, and a laser light strike hit the electronic lock on the door. A wisp of smoke let out, proving the incredible sturdiness of the door. It's no wonder the people inside were so confident. The first laser strike only managed to melt part of the lock. But he definitely wouldn't give up that easily. He shaped both hands into claws. Focusing on the lock, ten blinding laser lights erupted simultaneously.
The temperature around them rose sharply, and with a bang, the whole door was reduced to ash by the concentrated laser light.
Sky Scar strode into Luxury Cabin Suite Number 16. He saw two men and a woman, all with stunned expressions. The woman, as Feng Yuan described, was indeed a beauty. She was exactly like what he had imagined. Her golden hair spread down her back, and her blue eyes were as clear as the sea. Her tall figure and voluptuous breasts were incredibly enticing.
Feng Yuan had no time to admire his dream woman at this moment. He gritted his teeth, took a step forward and said, "Hand it over."
Miss Kerry, having recovered from her surprise, chuckled, "Mr. Feng Yuan, what are you doing? Didn't I invite you over to my place? Why did you break my door? This is not something a gentleman would do."
Feng Yuan shouted angrily, "Screw gentlemen. Give me my money, or I'll blow you all to pieces." Under the influence of money, he had just spat out the harshest words he had ever said in his life.
While Feng Yuan was demanding money from Kerry, Sky Scar's gaze was fixed on the two other men. After a brief surprise, there was a hint of indifference on the faces of these muscular men, who just stood behind Kerry, watching them silently.
Kerry laughed softly, "Mr. Feng Yuan, I think you must have misunderstood something. Why would you ask me for money?"
Feng Yuan yelled, "Bullshit, you bitch, give me my money back." In his agitation, Sky Scar could feel the wind power emanating from Feng Yuan, which was noticeably stronger than before.
Kerry still seemed unperturbed. She said, "Mr. Feng Yuan, do you have any evidence to prove that I stole your money?"
Just as Feng Yuan was about to retort, Sky Scar stopped him. He looked at the three people in front of him and said coldly, "We have no evidence to prove that you took Feng Yuan's money. And I don't think we need any. Hand over whatever should be handed over, and we can pretend nothing happened. Life is always more important than money, right? Wouldn't you agree, Miss Kerry?"
