Chapter 24 - Can I See Your Cannon?

Ultimately, the business deal concluded with Leah Warren purchasing the T1 Wolf Louse-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer starship technology for three million star coins.

After the agreement was finalized, Zachary Chase directly sent all the T1 Wolf Louse starship technical data to Leah.

"I've sent the starship technical data to your email. Please transfer the three million star coins to this account within three days of receiving the starship technical data."

Below was a Star Glory Empire Interstellar Bank card number.

"Sir… you just sent me the starship technology? Aren't you worried I'll go back on my word?"

Leah was very surprised that the other party had done this without any hesitation. Wasn't the other party worried she would default on the payment? This was completely unlike an interstellar transaction. It was more like casually buying something in a supermarket.

"I trust Levi Warren, and if you really dare to do that, I will make you pay a thousand times the price. Alright, I have other matters, so I'll stop here. Happy cooperation."

The network room showed that the other party had left.

Leah hurriedly tried to ask how to contact the other party in the future, but there was no response.

"What a strange person. This must be the most bizarre business deal I've ever made." Leah still felt like she was dreaming.

Moreover, she realized that she didn't even know what to call the other party.

Strange person… strange business…

But no matter what, as long as she could get all the T1 Wolf Louse technical data, she was confident that within half a year, she could turn the starship arms trade from loss to profit! She would make those who were waiting to see her fail drop their jaws!

Zachary, on the other hand, felt a little pained.

"I should have quoted four million…" Zachary said with a bitter smile.

He was still too inexperienced in business. To be honest, his three million star coins buyout price was already relatively high for T1 starship technology. It just so happened that Leah was in dire need of starship technology. A thirsty person who gets a bottle of water will naturally overlook a somewhat expensive price.

"Three million… three million…" Zachary was now planning to build his second starship, which was the T2 Bee Queen-class Heavy Carrier Starship.

Building a starship required a lot of preparation. It wasn't as simple as assembling a starship. Raw materials… construction site… construction technology… and so on… there were too many things.

Beep, beep, beep.

Zachary's handheld terminal rang.

He saw that it was his younger sister, Wendy Chase.

"Oh, the young miss actually contacted me out of the blue." Zachary looked at Wendy on the video window and said teasingly.

Wendy rarely sought out Zachary, and usually, when she did, it was in private, face-to-face.

At this moment, Zachary noticed that behind Wendy were two beautiful women—no, it should be two beautiful women, one older and one younger.

"Stop babbling. My friends are here." Wendy gave Zachary a roll of her eyes.

Then Wendy moved aside and introduced the two beautiful women.

"This is Senior Suzanne Lane from the fifth year; this is my classmate, Lily Xue from the fourth year. I don't need to introduce this one, do I? My brother."

When she said the words "my brother," Wendy clearly showed a look of disdain.

"Hello. We often hear Wendy mention you." Senior Suzanne greeted him politely.

"She mentions me? Forget it, it's good enough if she doesn't badmouth me." Zachary shrugged.

"Brother Zachary, can I see your big cannon!" The twin-tailed loli Lily suddenly leaned forward, her eyes sparkling, and said.

Zachary was stunned. This remark was a bit too…

Wendy immediately pulled Lily back: "Lily, what are you saying!"

"What's wrong? I just want to see Brother Zachary's Blizzard Zero's 1200mm heavy cannon up close." Lily pouted and said.

"Senior Suzanne, you must have something to tell me, right? Just get straight to the point." Zachary changed the subject. This little loli's words really made one…

Senior Suzanne said: "Then let's get straight to the point. Actually, the reason I'm looking for you this time is because of yesterday's starship duel."

Zachary narrowed his eyes, saying nothing, waiting for Senior Suzanne to continue.

Senior Suzanne continued: "It was Victor Hargrove who found people and connections, and someone knew that I was familiar with your sister Wendy, so they came to me. They hope you can cancel Victor's expulsion punishment."

Actually, when Senior Suzanne mentioned the starship duel, Zachary knew it was about Victor. Victor would definitely not obediently withdraw from the North Starship Military Academy. This concerned his future.

"This expulsion punishment is registered in the starship duel. Can it be canceled?" Zachary asked curiously.

Senior Suzanne said: "According to the academy's regulations, the stakes in a starship duel are recognized and will be enforced by the academy. However, if the winning party is willing to cancel the punishment stake, then the losing party can be exempt from punishment. So, it requires your nod of approval."

Zachary said nothing.

Senior Suzanne continued: "It's a friend of mine who asked me to do this. I owed him a favor before. If you're unwilling, then just pretend I didn't say anything. If you're willing to talk, I can help you arrange a time and place for you to sit down and talk. You can propose the conditions you want—after all, we can't let you cancel the punishment for nothing."

"Can I have a private word with my younger sister?" Zachary said.

Senior Suzanne agreed, and she and Lily left.

"Alright, Senior Suzanne and Lily are gone. Say whatever you want to say." Wendy crossed her arms.

"Do you want me to help Senior Suzanne?" Zachary asked.

Wendy was stunned: "This is your business, why are you asking me?"

"My younger sister rarely asks me for favors. I guess Senior Suzanne has a very good relationship with you, right?" Zachary smiled as he looked at Wendy.

Wendy's cheeks flushed, and she honestly said: "I admit, I really like Senior Suzanne. After I came to the North Starship Military Academy, she took great care of me. She is one of my only two friends here—the other being Lily. I also know about Senior Suzanne's situation. The person who asked her for a favor is a fifth-year senior named Henry Tian. He helped Senior Suzanne with something before, and ever since then, he's been using that as an excuse to pester Senior Suzanne, and even wants Senior Suzanne to date him. Senior Suzanne doesn't like him, but because she owes him a favor, she can only endure his harassment. If… if she can repay his favor this time, then Senior Suzanne won't have to endure his harassment anymore."

Zachary nodded. He said: "Alright then. You tell Senior Suzanne to handle this matter. Send me the time and place tonight. I agree to talk."

"Really!" Wendy was surprised.

"Who told you this is my younger sister's first time asking me for a favor?" Zachary grinned.

Wendy rolled her eyes: "Who… who asked you… you can help or… not help."

After speaking, she hung up the communication.

Zachary thought about Victor's matter. Actually, whether Victor was expelled or not was not important to him. He had never cared about this background character, or his relationship with Jessica Shae. If it weren't for the system mission, he would never have proposed the starship duel.

Now there was such an opportunity to help Wendy's senior, and at the same time… he could also extort money.

How could Zachary miss such a good opportunity?

The corners of his mouth gradually turned up. There would be a good show to watch tomorrow.
