Chapter 69: I Want To Give Him A Cannon Shell As A Gift

Ricky’s full name was Ricky Onassis. Thirty-three years old. The new leader of the Onassis family, which was one of the ten wealthiest families in the entire Skyriver Sector.

The family had a long history. They started off by making spaceship accessories more than five hundred years ago, which has continued until today.

These days, the Onassis family did not only run the accessories business, they also ran the spaceship business. Amongst the ten wealthiest families, their total assets ranked them fourth place.

As the new leader of the family, Ricky was also considered a celebrity in the Skyriver Sector. With that being said, he had a hobby known to many—he loved collecting all kinds of historical spaceships. However, many had no idea that in order to obtain certain spaceships at low prices, he had done many filthy things in secret.

They did everything from framing the spaceship owners, sending them to prison, making purchases through the federal government, hiring Interstellar Pirates, to even hiring people to pose as ship professionals to deceive the spaceship owners by claiming that their spaceship posed hidden dangers in order to persuade the ship owners to sell them at a lower price. He had used these dirty tactics no less than ten times, with almost all of them being successful.

Nevertheless, this time, Ricky was infuriated after watching the video in which Gu Ding beat Ter up, in which the bastard Ter had even revealed his name. There were two reasons for his rage. Number one, his chances of getting his hands on this spaceship were very slim now. Number two, his reputation had been ruined by the bastard, Ter.

It was not like other big families had not worked with Ter before, but anyone who had worked with Ter before would keep their mouths shut. This was due to the fact that Ter’s character was too horrible. Like a stink bug, anyone who was stained would have bad luck. Anyone who had anything to do with him would embarrass the entire family.

He was not worried that Gu Ding and Liliath would take revenge because families like them that had a good foundation of skills would have all nurtured their combat strengths. If Gu Ding was so foolish as to barge into his mansion, then there would only be one outcome waiting for him. He would be killed by his men on the spot.

However, he did not know that he had indeed been marked by Gu Ding and Liliath.

In front of Gu Ding was a projection of a mansion. That was the first mansion built by the Onassis family on Fengyuan. The mansion was built in recent years to carry out negotiations for the new gene medicine projects whilst also serving to tighten relationships with Fengyuan’s authorities.

Ricky had been in the pharmaceutical factory over the last few days to discuss a new project. He arrived at Fengyuan’s port on the same day and almost at the same time as Gu Ding. In fact, he saw Gu Ding’s Grey-faced Buzzard and was suddenly attracted to it, which was how things had developed to this state.

“This fellow brings a lot of people with him every time he goes out.” Gu Ding counted the number of guards via the projection. It was indeed a lot more than he had imagined.

“He’s the leader of the entire Onassis family. His family won’t allow anything to happen to him.” Liliath was no stranger to situations like this.

“Thirty-six guards in total. Among them, twenty-three of them are Rank 6 Gene Body, twelve of them Rank 7 Gene Body and one Rank 8 Gene Body. Every window is guarded as well, so it’s impossible to slip inside without being noticed.” Neptune commented after he had analyzed the situation. “Even if you manage to sneak in, it will also be difficult for you to succeed as Ricky Onassis himself is a Rank 6 Gene Body too.”

“Basically, the bodyguards hired by these wealthy people are all veterans. Some of them are even veterans from the elite army units. They’ve all gone through professional training, have a great deal of combat experience, and have each taken at least ten lives. Even though they are also Rank 6 Gene Bodys, each and every one of these fellows is undoubtedbly stronger than Ter.” Liliath not only had a solid understanding of the bodyguard role, she knew people like Ricky very well too. “According to the current circumstances, it’s almost impossible for us to barge in. The moment we alarm a bodyguard, we will be surrounded. People like Ricky won’t leave any loose ends. He won’t turn in the person who attacks his mansion to the Federation Army to collect a monetary reward. He will only kill the person on the spot and leave no trace behind. Even if the federal government learns about it, they will only turn a blind eye.”

“That fellow provoked us first. I will never let him go. I need to teach him a lesson, at least.” After saying that, Gu Ding was silent for a moment, seemingly pondering ways to teach Ricky a lesson whilst also being able to escape after.

After a moment, he asked, “Neptune, other than Ricky and his bodyguards, is there anyone else in the mansion?”

“No. His mansion is a new division built in recent years for the convenience of discussing business. No one stays there normally, so it’s just that the cleaners that come every week to do the cleaning,” Neptune explained. “Moreover, the Rank 8 Gene Body is not only one of the bodyguards, he’s also the butler. When Ricky is on Fengyuan, the butler handles everything, including cooking meals, making tea, and arranging business meetings.”

“This means that this fellow is extremely cautious as he’s worried that someone will poison him. Moreover, he doesn’t like to give others the power to handle business matters and prefers doing it all by himself.” From the description earlier, Liliath could roughly understand what kind of person Ricky was.

“Neptune, does our spaceship’s cannon happen to have the capability to destroy his mansion whilst also not endangering his neighbors?” Gu Ding seemed to have already devised a plan.

“I can tweak it. The smallest cannon barrel should be able to do it,” Neptune replied.

“Are you thinking of…” Liliath heard what Gu Ding said and could already guess what Gu Ding was trying to do.

“That’s right. Since I can’t sneak in to teach him a lesson, blowing up his mansion is a good choice too. This mansion of his should cost at least fifty billion Star Credits or more, right? He wants my spaceship, doesn’t he? Then, I’ll give him a cannon shell as a gift.” Gu Ding broke into a grin.

“If that’s the case, Feng Yuan’s authorities will blacklist you. On top of that, they will inform the federal government to make it a priority to capture you.” Liliath figured that Gu Ding might not know the gravity of the situation.

“Don’t forget. We’re Interstellar Pirates. The federal government has been after us from the start. Isn’t that what we wanted, to raise our bounty higher? Besides, didn’t you want them to change your wanted picture? Maybe they will renew the wanted order this time and do just that.” Gu Ding was more than clear about the repercussions, but, it was precisely the increased bounty that was the main reason behind his decision.

“That bastard who created the wanted order…” As soon as she recalled her pouty picture on the wanted order, Liliath became irritated. “Alright. For the picture, I vote yes for this plan!”

“It seems like this journey is getting more and more interesting…” Neptune mumbled.
