It made sense, having near-eternal life, mysterious abilities, holding power, reputation, and wealth over the entire Sakaar…
Grandmaster was practically the deified version of a local emperor on Planet Sakaar!
Walking on thin ice, Grandmaster might befriend any lifeform, but it all depended on his mood. If he was in a good mood, everyone could be his friend; if his mood soured, well…
“To live peacefully on Planet Sakaar, it’s best not to get acquainted with Grandmaster,” Enri emphasized, her tone carrying a hint of caution.
“I wasn’t intending to make contact with Grandmaster,” Kyle shrugged, elegantly pouring himself a glass of interstellar wine. He spoke calmly, “What I’m interested in are the challengers from the arena.”
“Challengers?” Enri was surprised.
“Yes, during the prelude matches just now, there was a challenger who advanced to the top four. He reminded me of a friend of mine,” Kyle took a sip of his wine, calmly explaining.
“That complicates things,” Enri frowned, “If it were before this, perhaps you could’ve bribed the guards in the underground prison, and arranged for an exchange with a slave.
But now, the top four challengers will compete in the championship in three days. Even if you throw in a fortune, the guards won’t release anyone without Grandmaster’s approval.”
“What if it’s just to meet him briefly?” Kyle inquired.
“That’s not an issue,” Enri smiled slightly, with confidence, “I know a prison guard who can arrange a meeting for you with the challenger.”
“That would be a big help,” Kyle smiled, to which Enri responded with a blush, “You’re welcome. After all, you’re an important customer to me. If you have any business in the future, please think of me.”
“I do have some business; I’m just not sure if you’re interested,” Kyle took a sip of red wine and spoke up.
Enri playfully blinked her eyes and joked, “Let’s not talk about anything under a million.”
A million? That was quite low, to be honest.
Kyle chuckled, his eyes blinking with a hint of light. He said earnestly, “What I’m discussing with you involves a cooperation deal worth over Ten Million.”
“Over Ten Million?!” Enri’s expression turned astonished upon hearing this, and she choked on her drink, eliciting odd looks from Calvin and her little brother.
Taking a deep breath, Enri calmed herself and looked at Kyle, her voice trembling as she asked, “Are you sure? You’re not planning to buy an Advanced luxury Spaceship, are you?”
“Spaceship?” Kyle touched his chin, calmly accepting the suggestion, “That’s right, I do plan to buy one.”
As long as it wasn’t an Asgardian with Bifrost, any lifeform traveling through the galaxy required the basic means of interstellar transportation: the Spaceship.
“But the deal I’m talking about, worth over ten million, doesn’t pertain to a Spaceship,” Kyle shook his head.
“So, what do you want to buy?” Enri confidently inquired, “Whether it’s through the black market or the Exchange Bureau, I have access to both. I promise to satisfy your needs.”
“The item I want is a bit hard to describe. After this, I’ll have Calvin provide you with a list. You just need to collect and deliver according to the conditions on the list,” Kyle explained, reaching into his leather jacket pocket.
Amid Enri’s astonished gaze, he pulled out an energy crystal wrapped in a metallic casing, emitting a pale blue-white light. He pushed it forward on the table.
“Kryon Stone,” Enri stared at the energy crystal in front of her, her elegance momentarily forgotten as she swallowed hard and covered it with both hands.
She cautiously looked around the room, making sure the other diners weren’t paying attention, then shot Kyle a white-eyed look and stammered, “This is worth Ten Million! And you’re carrying it so casually?”
“Why not? Consider it a down payment,” Kyle grinned. Not just Kryon, he carried many things on him in his Card Space.
“Ten Million, and you’re giving it to me so recklessly, without even thinking? Aren’t you afraid I’ll cheat you?” Enri asked with a puzzled expression on her face.
“Cheat me? That’s not possible. Or, you could try,” Kyle’s mouth curved into a mischievous and chilling smile as he spoke.
When it came to cheating, hardly anyone could outwit him. Upon arriving on Planet Sakaar, he had already taken many precautions to soften his demeanor.
“I was just kidding,” Enri waved her hand slightly as she spoke, feeling a residual turbulence in her heart.
At that moment just now, she had actually sensed a dangerous aura from the perfect man in front of her, an aura reminiscent of a fierce cosmic beast.
Kyle pondered and said, “The items I want to buy are quite diverse. You can collect them in several batches. Also, please help me choose a Spaceship; it doesn’t matter if it’s luxurious or not, the key is its superior performance, it needs to be capable of long interstellar journeys through unstable spatial wormholes.”
Enri nodded, her tone slightly unnatural as she asked, “Do you intend to leave Planet Sakaar?”
“I don’t have that intention for now, but I’m not a native here after all. Someday, I will leave this place. My family is still waiting for me,” Kyle said. His voice softened as he mentioned the last sentence, his usually unyielding heart revealing a tender side.
Earth was his true home.
“I understand. My parents often mentioned our home planet before they passed away, filled with regret. In the future, if I have the chance, I might risk everything to leave this place and bring my parents’ remains back to our home planet.”
As Enri spoke, the sorrow on her face receded. She put Kryon Energy Stone in her bag and said confidently, “Leave it to me.”
After concluding the negotiations for their cooperation, Kyle returned to the hotel and quickly prepared the intricate and detailed list of items. He handed the list to Calvin for sorting and then had Calvin convey it to Enri.
The list categorized items based on price priority, ranging from commonplace laser pistols to laser weapons, as well as various mediocre high-tech auxiliary items. Basically, whatever was cheap, he would buy. The only condition was that the items needed to be intact and undamaged.
It was like collecting junk, but what Kyle was collecting was intact, high-quality Interstellar junk.
Not just Calvin, even Enri couldn’t completely understand the shopping list. She didn’t understand the purpose of Kyle buying so many cheap and mediocre items.
Despite not fully comprehending the situation, Enri still adhered to the principle of putting the customer first and didn’t ask too many questions. She worked efficiently and swiftly, delivering the first batch of high-grade items (junk) worth a Million Credits to a warehouse in the outer city area that Kyle had specially rented the next day.
After receiving the inspection report, Kyle immediately went to the outer city warehouse alone.
The underground warehouse in the outer city.
Kyle manipulated the buttons, opening the intelligent door. Interior sensory lights illuminated the warehouse as soon as he entered, revealing a spacious, square area, a vast underground room covering three hundred square meters.
At the center of the underground room, a pile of items derived from advanced cosmic civilizations accumulated, including depleted laser guns, alien wrist communicators, and more.
While the grade of these items wasn’t low, due to losing their intrinsic value on this planet, they had become advanced junk that was neither useful nor wasteful. Each item fetched only three to five thousand credits when recycled.
However, for Kyle, these advanced junks were treasures awaiting his exploration!
