Colonial Suit

"What? Are you crazy?" Carrie's eyes snapped open.

What she said before was just a joke, of course. After all, Malgratala was good, but she still had to live in reality. Only the survival of the family was the most important thing. Carrie couldn't gamble the safety of the entire family with a painting.

But she didn't mean to give the painting to Blood瞳 either.

Malgratala was a source of disaster, and this thing was also a double-edged sword for the Romick family. It was certainly impossible to keep it, but if the family was strongly protected, it could be used to frame some opponents. If it appeared at auction, it would definitely cause chaos in the entire Fifth World. As the head of the Romick family, she would certainly not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But it was different if Blood瞳 wanted this painting. First, it would be difficult for the Romick family to clear themselves, and second, Carrie would never find a chance to stir up the Fifth World again. This would be a great loss to the entire family.

If possible, Carrie definitely didn't want to see such a result.

However, these were not things that Blood瞳 should consider. His personality was such that once he identified something, he would definitely stick to it.

So, facing Carrie's questioning gaze, he just nodded calmly.

"Yes, I want it."

"Do you know what this means?" Carrie asked in surprise, still trying to dissuade Blood瞳.

It was a pity that she didn't know that if Blood瞳 was someone who could easily change his mind, he wouldn't have gotten to where he was today. The most crucial point for a cosmic warrior was a firm will.

"I know what I'm doing." Blood瞳 looked calmly at the Yamir Box on the table, a gentle light flashing in his eyes. "So I must have it."

"You're really crazy..." Carrie covered her forehead and groaned in pain.

Now the problem was in front of her. If she wanted to continue her previous plan, she had to reject Blood瞳. But this was an unimaginable disaster for her. But if she didn't reject Blood瞳, it would mean she would lose an opportunity to dominate the Fifth World. What made Carrie even more棘手 was that as the head of the Romick family, Carrie had to consider far more than Blood瞳. Not only her own safety, the prosperity of the family, but also a series of consequences arising from it.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and neither of them spoke, just stuck there.

Blood瞳 didn't urge Carrie either, just sat there quietly, his fingers gently stroking the Yamir Box. The warm and smooth touch from his fingertips made him feel great.

After an unknown amount of time, Carrie finally sighed. She said softly, "You know what? Mr. Blood瞳, you've given me a big problem."

"I know." Blood瞳 nodded. He knew that once Carrie added the title 'Mr.' after his name, it meant a formal conversation. And this kind of conversation didn't involve affection, just a transaction.

That was good, keeping public and private matters separate wouldn't hurt feelings. Carrie obviously understood the essence of it.

"It's good that you understand." Carrie said softly, her eyes also falling on the Yamir Box. She seemed to be pondering something, and after a while, she spoke again.

"You helped me, I can't refuse your request."

"..." A gleam flashed in Blood瞳's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Go on..."

He knew that Carrie had something else to say. This was just the beginning.

Sure enough, Carrie gave him an admiring look, and then said seriously, "Mr. Blood瞳, please be my family warrior!"

Family warrior!!

This suggestion, which had been rejected by Fifth Cowboy, was finally brought up by Carrie!!

It had to be said that she was really suitable to be a family head. No matter what, her vision was so sharp. If this suggestion had been made before, it would definitely have been rejected, but now it had become a transaction. No matter how Blood瞳 chose, it wouldn't hurt the feelings of both parties.

Of course, to keep Blood瞳, this painting alone was not enough. Carrie also had to give him a matching status and salary.

"A Boler mine star, 500 million star coins. Seven million people and corresponding residential cities. A fleet including twelve transport ships and seven Wind Banner-class battleships. And a micro-jump transmitter. These are the basic supplies I'm giving you. I think you don't need to consider the territory missions of the Mercenary Headquarters. In addition, you will receive a monthly salary of three thousand star coins. And separate remuneration for performing missions."

Facing Blood瞳's calm gaze, Carrie spoke eloquently. Listing wealth that most people could not imagine in their entire lives.

"If you are willing to serve as my family warrior, you will also receive the special guest status of the Romick family. Including the Fifth World and below, all Romick family and ally facilities will be open to you free of charge. You can obtain supply points in any star field. Your private conquests will be recognized and protected by the Romick family."

"You will be directly responsible to me, and no one except me has the authority to issue orders to you. You will get enough free space. And the Romick family's rich resources. As long as you want, any request will be met. Whether it's the best ability potions or training equipment. I swear, you will find that with a family as your backing, any potions and resources are so easy to obtain."

Carrie's voice was very soft. But it was this soft voice that made a promise so heavy that it could affect a world. This was not a joke. With the current status of the Romick family, if Blood瞳 nodded, he would be richer and more majestic than any monarch in the Sixth World. His words would be carried out by hundreds of millions of people, and his every move could destroy a force or a country.

Don't forget, originally in the eyes of those below the Sixth World, the Fifth World was a supreme existence. What's more, a large family that was important in the Fifth World? Influencing low-level worlds was really not too simple.

However, to Carrie's disappointment, even though she had offered such tempting conditions. Blood瞳's expression still didn't change at all. In her gentle tone, he remained as firm and cold as steel.

Finally, as her voice gradually weakened. Blood瞳 spoke.

"I have only one question. If I join the Romick family, will I still have the status of a cosmic mercenary?"

"This..." Carrie was stunned.

That's right, Blood瞳 asked the key question in one sentence. This was the most difficult problem to solve in her recruitment this time. Because according to the Romick family's rules, family warriors were the family's most important armed force and could not have other identities. If Blood瞳 joined the Romick family, it would mean he would have to say goodbye to the cosmic mercenary.

This might be a good thing for most cosmic warriors, but for Blood瞳, who was improving so quickly. It was a disaster.

Because even if the Romick family was strong, it could not provide assistance beyond the world level.

"I..." Carrie was speechless for a while, her face full of embarrassment.

Seeing her expression, Blood瞳 understood. So he fell silent.

The latest novel is first published on Six Nine Book Bar!

In front of him, the Yamir Box was quietly placed on the table, emitting a hazy glow.

"It seems that I am destined not to get it." Blood瞳 said lightly, but there was no regret in his tone.

Carrie's heart turned cold. After this time, she had a slight understanding of Blood瞳's personality. Blood瞳's opening in such a tone was definitely not a good thing. This reminded her again of that night on the Bridge of the Waterfall, the figure who lifted White Eyes like a demon.

"Blood瞳, it's not what you think..." Carrie opened her mouth.

She saw determination in Blood瞳's eyes. She couldn't help but think of what Fifth Cowboy had advised her at the beginning. "Do you think you can restrain his steps with Blood瞳's speed of improvement?"

Since you can't restrain him, then why make useless attempts?

"Maybe, we can change the way." Carrie said slowly after thinking seriously. "You become my family warrior, and I won't restrict your identity. But you have to promise that the Romick family's missions will have higher priority than the cosmic mercenary."

Priority, this was the key. If Blood瞳 agreed to this condition, it would be no different from a family warrior in substance. It was just a matter of name, and Carrie could easily solve this aspect.

Of course, this was Carrie's choice under duress, otherwise she would not have made such a concession.

Because no matter what, she could not afford to antagonize Blood瞳. This was not just a matter of losing an assistant, but also the Romick family's current life and death issue.

As the head of the Romick family, she saw much further than most people. And she also knew that according to Blood瞳's speed of improvement, he would probably not be someone she could restrain in a short time. At that time, the Romick family would gain an unimaginable backing.

That was a real, powerful backing enough to make the Romick family stand in the universe.

Meteor-class... can we expect it?

"In that case. It's acceptable." Blood瞳's voice came slowly, interrupting Carrie's thoughts.

Only to see a smile finally appeared on his firm and cold face. He reached out and picked up the Yamir Box on the table. "Then, our transaction is concluded. From now on, I should call you Patriarch, right?"

"I still prefer to hear you call me by my name." Carrie smiled slightly, and also felt that the haze covering her head had disappeared.

Only at this time did she realize how important Blood瞳 was to her. She almost lost a most important friend. Thinking of this, Carrie was afraid for a while.

However, now that the transaction was completed, her relationship with Blood瞳 became even closer. This made her happy.

"Maybe we should go out for a drink." In her happiness, Carrie suggested.

"Good idea. But I think Fifth is more suitable for this than me." Blood瞳 replied with a smile. He was familiar with Carrie's style, and her so-called drink would eventually turn into an absurd nude party. This was not the first time this had happened.

Carrie didn't blush either. Anyway, her personality was like this. Who in the entire Fifth World didn't know?

Immediately, the two left Death Star. After boarding the shuttle, Blood瞳 activated the intelligent brain as soon as possible. Contacting Heck on the other side of the distant.

"I need help."
