215: Classic plot
According to the information, this weapon system can trigger a spatial storm at the enemy target's location, disrupting spatial stability in that area and tearing a rift in space. With a powerful force that almost ignores ordinary defense systems, it directly rips apart enemy targets.
This powerful function made Li Yang quite tempted.
He continued to read, and when he saw the price, his heart was stirred even more.
At only 10 million star coins, it was not out of reach for Li Yang. Moreover, as a Member, he could enjoy a discount, bringing the price down to only 8 million star coins.
Furthermore, the purchasing conditions were very lenient, with no special requirements; even an ordinary Imperial Citizen could buy it.
More importantly, the data showed that there was only one in stock, and this scarcity further solidified Li Yang's determination to buy it.
Just as Li Yang was about to raise his hand to call a Staff member over to pay for the weapon system, a man in luxurious clothing strode over, oblivious to others, and stopped in front of Li Yang.
He raised his chin slightly, a haughty expression on his face, and spoke.
“Friend, I’ve taken a liking to this thing.”
Li Yang was confused by this sudden scene, and a wave of displeasure rose in his heart.
What do you mean you’ve taken a liking to it? Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served?
He frowned and responded politely but firmly.
“Sorry, comrade, I saw this first and I like it very much. If you’ve taken a liking to it too, then you’ll just have to wait for the next batch.”
With that, Li Yang no longer paid attention to the man's reaction, directly raised his hand to call a Staff member, and explicitly stated that he wanted to buy this Spatial Storm Weapon System.
“You don’t know me?”
Qi Ba widened his eyes, looking incredulous, as if in his perception, his name should be known to everyone.
“I am Qi Ba, the son of Speaker Qisai of the Prague Galaxy! I’m going to give this weapon system as a gift, so you’d better be sensible!”
Qi Ba’s chin was held high, his face full of pride and arrogance, as if merely announcing his identity should make Li Yang obediently back down.
“So what?”
Li Yang raised his eyebrow slightly, his eyes full of disdain.
“What does your father being the Speaker have to do with you? Are you saying you’ve already inherited his mantle and become the Speaker? Go away, don’t bother me while I’m paying.”
With that, Li Yang impatiently waved his hand, his indifferent expression making Qi Ba seem like an insignificant minor character.
Not far away, Hill was looking at other exhibits with interest, but caught sight of a situation developing with Li Yang out of the corner of his eye. He quickly walked over and asked with concern.
“Li Yang, what happened?”
“Oh, this young master, the Speaker’s son, wants to buy this weapon system.”
Li Yang explained unhurriedly, a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
“It’s just that I saw it first, and I don’t want to just give it to him.”
“Speaker?”
Hill paused slightly, then, after a moment of thought, realized.
“Is it Speaker Qisai?”
Upon hearing that Hill knew his father, Qi Ba instantly became even more complacent, puffing out his chest, the arrogance on his face becoming more pronounced.
“It seems your friend has some knowledge! Since you know, then quickly hand over this weapon system to me. Don’t worry, I’m not an unreasonable person; I’ll buy it from you at double the price. Isn’t that generous enough?”
As Qi Ba spoke, he looked at Li Yang with a condescending gaze, as if the terms he offered were a great favor.
However, Li Yang completely ignored him and turned directly to continue with the payment procedures with the Staff member, quickly acquiring the weapon system.
“Esteemed guest, please leave your contact information. We will arrange for professional personnel to come to your location for installation.”
The Staff member completely ignored the dispute between the two, smiling at Li Yang.
Li Yang thought for a moment and directly gave Pal’s contact information to the Staff member.
After all, Pal was currently in charge of fleet management, and the fleet seemed to be docked in another Galaxy at the moment, so it was most suitable for Pal to handle the reception and installation.
Seeing Li Yang completely ignore him and communicate with the Staff member on his own, Qi Ba’s face instantly twisted with anger, and he jumped up like a lit firecracker.
“Hey, didn’t you hear me, kid? How dare you ignore me like that? Be careful, I’ll make sure you can’t leave this Prague Galaxy!”
Qi Ba waved his arms, threatening him with all his might.
Hearing this, Li Yang finally slowly turned his head, looking at Qi Ba with a meaningful gaze, as if he was looking at a clown.
Seeing Li Yang look at him, Qi Ba thought Li Yang was finally afraid, and a surge of secret delight rose in his heart. He quickly pressed his advantage.
“What? Now you’re scared? Then quickly give me that weapon equipment.”
“Hill...”
Li Yang ignored Qi Ba’s unreasonable demand and turned to Hill, saying with a serious expression.
“I strongly suspect that Speaker Qisai is involved in illegal activities. As the son of an Imperial Official, he is so arrogant and domineering. What do you think should be done?”
Hearing Li Yang’s words, Hill’s heart tightened, and he instantly remembered that besides being an Imperial Military Officer, Li Yang also held the title of special inspector.
Although his jurisdiction was not here, with his connections and the resources behind him, he still had considerable influence. Besides, the backgrounds of himself and Li Yang were not something a mere Galaxy Speaker could easily threaten.
“Hmm, judging from his arrogant and domineering words, Speaker Qisai indeed has suspicions of illegal activities, and it’s very possible he has already become part of an illegal group.”
Hill understood and cooperated, saying.
“I think we can notify the Guard Division to come over and investigate thoroughly.”
“Alright, then, let’s notify the Guard Division to come over.”
Li Yang nodded, his eyes firm.
With that, he gestured to the Person in Charge who had been following them, responsible for security and service, to notify the Guard Division of the Prague Galaxy to come immediately.
Even if Qi Ba was foolish, he now understood the deeper meaning in their words and realized that the identities of these two were probably not ordinary, and not someone he could casually manipulate.
His face instantly turned pale, his original arrogant demeanor extinguished, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
And the Staff member of the Hope Merchant Guild also changed color in fright at the sight of this scene.
Originally, they thought it was just a normal dispute between two Members, not requiring reporting to higher-ups.
But now, it seemed that things had far exceeded their control; even the Guard Division had been alerted, so not reporting was simply not an option.
Thus, the Staff member frantically ran to notify their superior, and a storm seemed about to brew within this seemingly calm merchant guild.
