Colonial Suit

Xie's words were not unexpected. In fact, Blood瞳 had already anticipated what the other party would request. At this time and in this situation, there was only one thing that could move Xie and leave him with no way out: The battle for the throne!

He had to defeat a group of people to seize the power of the Boca clan and ascend to the supreme throne, and these people were not easy to deal with. Since the ancient era of great chaos, they had been holding the power of the Boca clan and controlling unimaginable resources. How could Xie easily shake such a collection of vested interests?

As the most dazzling rising star of the Boca clan and the spokesperson for the new forces, he had been able to endure until now, probably because he was aware of the difficulties and dangers involved.

But now he could no longer escape. The overall situation had forced him to make a choice, otherwise not only would those who followed him be disappointed, but he himself might be threatened.

The road to power is always bloody, even between mother and son.

The cottage was quiet. Blood瞳 had already left, but Xie was still sitting in his original position, looking at the bartending tools on the table. Blood瞳 had just used these things to mix two glasses of wine for him, one bitter and one mellow. The same ingredients, but the taste was completely different. What did he want to express to himself?

After thinking for a while, Xie took out another wine glass. He wanted to mix a glass of wine for himself. A glass of wine that belonged to him alone.

Whether it was bitter or mellow.

......................................

To be honest, before this conversation, Xie had already decided to reject Blood瞳's request in order to better drive the other party to work for him. But when he personally met Blood瞳, he realized that this plan would not work. He was a stubborn man like a beast. If he used some underhanded means, the most likely result would be to lose him. He would decisively abandon himself and use some simpler and more direct methods to achieve his goals. Because that was the principle he followed: survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle of natural competition.

Therefore, Xie had to change his original intention and tie him to his chariot with benefits.

There was no time left...

Xie's finger finally stopped. A glass of wine had appeared on the table, a glass of wine he had mixed himself, the taste unknown.

Looking at this glass of wine, Xie's usual coldness and arrogance softened, revealing a complex expression. In the end, he picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp!

The wine was very bitter!!

Bang! The wine glass shattered on the table. Xie got up and walked towards the door...

At this time, Blood瞳 also entered a bar in a certain city. The bar was brightly lit and the shadows of people flickered. Blood瞳 and Robbie walked to a corner, ordered a few drinks and sat down.

"It looks like we're about to be involved in an epic battle," Robbie said to Blood瞳, playing with his glass. "It's really like a dream. It feels like just the other day I was still preaching in the Seventh World."

"If you start reminiscing about the past, it means you're getting old," Blood瞳 replied, grabbing his glass and taking a sip. The taste was very good, mellow with a hint of coolness. This nameless wine made Blood瞳 feel very comfortable.

Robbie glanced at him and chuckled.

"You're still as indifferent as ever, as if the whole world has nothing to do with you. Doesn't it feel lonely living like that?"

"I'm used to it," Blood瞳 replied, continuing to drink heartily.

For some reason, Blood瞳 was drinking very quickly now, one glass after another. Although Robbie knew that cosmic warriors were not so easily drunk, he felt that Blood瞳 was deliberately trying to get himself drunk.

So Robbie fell silent. After a long time, he whispered:

"Are you planning... to abandon us?"

"............" Blood瞳 did not answer, but continued to drink in silence, a trace of sadness suddenly flashing in his eyes.

Abandon...

How could he?

From the moment he left x35, he had been united with his companions. His companions' fate was his fate. They rejoiced together, grieved together, and faced difficulties and challenges together.

But... this time...

This time...

Blood瞳 raised his glass and drank it down in large gulps. He did not speak, but his eyes gradually became blurred. Drunkenness was separating him from reality, as if a layer of fog had been placed in front of his eyes.

Looking at his expression, Robbie sighed. He knew that Blood瞳 had made up his mind.

This time, it might be the last time they fought together.

Robbie knew why Blood瞳 wanted to do this, but as a companion, he could not accept it.

What if the hope was slim? What if it meant death?

Being able to help Blood瞳 ascend to the top of the world was the duty of his companions... And what regrets would there be in being able to die on such a glorious battlefield? Robbie wanted to tell Blood瞳 that neither he nor the Gemini siblings could agree to this choice. But he did not say it.

He just smiled and silently watched Blood瞳 drink one glass after another until he got himself drunk...

Blood瞳 quickly got drunk and slumped softly on the table, just like an ordinary person. But Robbie did not think he was weak. Instead, he felt that Blood瞳 was real at this time. He helped Blood瞳 up, threw down a few star coins and walked towards the door.

Sometimes, choices are not made by one person, are they?

In the next few days, they rested in the city, and the resources they needed were obtained directly from Xie. At this time, it must be said that Xie was generous. Although Blood瞳's identity was only a partner, the supplies he received were not lacking at all. From ammunition and food, potions and hormones, to magic weapons and warships, as long as Blood瞳 asked, he would definitely get it, and there were no discounts. In addition, the Boca clan was one of the two strongest civilizations in the universe, and its wealth of materials was enough to make Robbie click his tongue. As long as the universe had it, there was almost nothing the Boca clan could not get.

Of course, all of this was limited to the Blood瞳 team, and there were no more shares. (Speaker weeping, I can't make ends meet here either... Can you give me some more?)

In just a few days, Blood瞳 and others saw Xie's wealth and also witnessed his ambition and execution ability.

Including the Speaker of the Humans, nearly a hundred important figures from various civilizations were invited to a dinner party, covering almost half of the strongest civilizations in the Second World today. It could be seen how influential Xie was. Among these figures, in addition to some strong races that had long been famous, even the Elte and Morta were among them. It was just that the Elte people were vassals of the Boca clan, while the Morta were independent.

Such a large momentum could not be concealed from the world, so in just a few days, the atmosphere within the Boca clan became unprecedentedly tense, and various void cities began to be on alert. The Empress Party naturally had their hearts in their throats, but Xie suddenly became idle.

Not only did he not mean to make trouble, he even stopped some fleet patrols. According to the Empress Party's intelligence personnel, his daily business was to hide in his small building and mix drinks over and over again.

Until one day, Xie picked up the newly mixed wine and drank it all in one gulp, a faint smile finally appearing on his face.

This wine... is very sweet.

Very mellow.

He had finally used the same ingredients to create a different taste. (To be continued...)
