Chapter 94 – Rough Star Pirate Leader VS War God Empire Prince [AA] (21)
Chester didn’t think about anything for the whole two days of preparation. He was so focused on the wardrobe that you would think he was going on a blind date.
So after two days, Chester joined forces with the Star pirates on the Das Star and set off for the Empire together. Looking at Chester, who was standing on the ship, dressed as if he was going to a banquet.
he little brothers who knew the details all felt in an instant that they were not going to help the eldest prince, but to accompany the boss to propose marriage. Who would wear a tuxedo to pilot a mecha? It’s so stupid! I really don’t know what the eldest prince saw in the boss?
However, they all know that Chester has already merged with Mu Jin spiritually, so for Chester’s brothers, Mu Jin is their own person.
When it comes to their own people, they always give their full support. So they all followed Chester, eager to fight, regardless of whether it was a fight or something else.
A large number of pirate ships appeared over the empire, and the people instantly fell into panic. The empire also sent out warships in a perfunctory manner.
Mu Jin was on the command ship, though he didn’t appear, he was secretly manipulating everything. He dispatched Mu Shao and Archibald to the front lines for battle, engaging with those star pirates in a staged skirmish.
Sure enough, before a few rounds had even passed, the Federation people appeared. They claimed to be helping the Empire, but in reality, they all turned their firepower on the Imperial ships and mecha.
However, the Federation soon discovered that something was wrong, because their weapon attacks on the Imperial mecha did not have any effect. On the contrary, their mecha were quickly attacked by the pirates and began to be destroyed on a large scale.
It was clear that the Imperial mecha were much more powerful than their own upgraded mecha. With the help of the pirates, the Federation quickly fell into a rout.
After dozens of their mecha were shot down, they finally realized that something was wrong. It was clear that they had fallen into a trap. These pirates were not helping them at all; in fact, they had agreed to join forces with the Empire to attack them.
What caught the Federation off guard the most was the sudden appearance of the Empire’s long-lost First Prince, Mu Jin, piloting a mecha. He coordinated seamlessly with a black mecha leading the pirates and attacked them, directly destroying their flagship.
Although the Federation officials on the flagship reacted quickly and all escaped in lifeboats, they also realized that they were no match for the Empire at all. They hurriedly ordered a retreat and left in a rather embarrassed manner.
The Imperial army won the victory effortlessly, and it also sent a good warning to the Federation. A large number of warships and mecha intercepted from the Federation were all confiscated and refitted.
Although the Federation suffered no casualties, this provocation would lead to significant economic losses. It was likely that they wouldn’t dare to provoke the Empire for a long time.
Of course, Mu Jin’s indulgence of the Federation’s actions this time was not only to dampen
Through the whitewashing of the royal family and the military, this incident became in the eyes of the public that the Federation attempted to attack the Empire, and the pirates formed an alliance with the Empire to jointly resist the invasion from the Federation. Therefore, the newly formed Pirate Alliance is not only not their enemy, but has also become their ally.
Mu Jin also posted some positive news about Chester and them on the Star Network, along with images of them helping people in remote and desolate planets. After people learned the hidden truth behind it, they were deeply moved.
After seeing that the public was no longer so hostile towards Chester and them, Mu Jin continued to promote on the Star Network. He portrayed the Star Pirate Alliance in a new light, handing over the management of the desolate planets to them. He even gave them the name “Das Alliance,” making them a true third force in the world, aside from the Empire and the Federation.
The Empire held a grand celebration to celebrate the victory of this battle. The atmosphere at the celebration was warm, and the pirates were used to being casual, so they quickly got along with everyone.
Only Chester was particularly nervous, because he knew that he would meet the Emperor of the Empire at the celebration, and the Emperor was the father of his beloved. As a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law, Chester naturally tried very hard to make a good impression.
Mu Jin looked at Chester, who was sitting stiffly beside him, and thought of the strange way he looked when he got out of the mech in a tuxedo. Fortunately, today he was wearing clothes that he had supervised, so he didn’t look too formal.
Comfortingly, Mu Jin patted Chester’s back and whispered softly in his ear, “Don’t worry; my father is a good person.”
Chester took a deep breath after hearing this and tried his best to maintain a proper conversation with the Emperor. Before coming to the banquet, the man had thought hard about what gifts to bring, but he could never think of anything suitable to give to the Emperor.
Mu Jin made the final proposal, suggesting that Chester share the black crystal mines on Das Star with the Empire, and in return, the Empire would provide more supplies to them.
Thinking about how Mu Jin had successfully experimented with plant cultivation technology on the desolate planets, bringing significant changes to the lives of the people there, Chester found this black crystal sharing, even for a fee, to be a lucrative deal no matter how he looked at it.
Although he felt it was somewhat insufficient, Chester still heeded Mu Jin’s words. To his surprise, when the Emperor heard this news, he was extremely pleased. Especially upon learning that his son, Mu Jin, was saved by Chester, his gratitude deepened.
Mu Shao and Archibald sat together, watching their father and Chester chatting happily. Seeing Mu Jin smiling on the side, they glanced worriedly at each other.
Thinking that their father was so happy now because he didn’t know about the relationship between the Crown Prince and Chester, they wondered if the Emperor would still be as cheerful when he learned the truth in the future.
After the banquet, Chester received many royal gifts. Together with the Star Pirate Alliance members, he planned to leave and return to Das Star.
On the way back, Chester, feeling content with leaving a good impression on the Emperor, speculated that next time, he might be able to propose marriage. However, he was unsure whether his current status was worthy of Mu Jin.
Thinking about this, Chester couldn’t contain himself and contacted Mu Jin through the neural network to catch a glimpse of his beloved. However, when the video call connected, he was surprised to see Mu Jin in formal attire, seemingly about to go out.
Chester was taken aback when he saw the situation. Before he could marvel at how charming Mu Jin looked in formal attire, he heard a sound from outside the door, with someone calling out to his beloved, “Your Highness, please hurry, the prince’s engagement ceremony is about to begin.”
As soon as the voice outside fell silent, Mu Jin turned apologetically to the man and smiled, saying there was an urgent matter before disconnecting the neural communication.
But he didn’t know that at this moment, Chester’s heart was filled with waves. He had just heard clearly that it was the prince’s engagement ceremony. So, is Xiao Jin going to get engaged to someone else?
But wasn’t his beloved already with him? Why would he be engaged to someone else? Clearly, they were a couple!
Chester’s mind was in a mess at the moment. He thought about how Mu Jin had become more rational and restrained after his memory recovered. He was no longer as soft and cute as he used to be. Although he was always kind to him, he didn’t seem as close to him as he used to be.
So, had Mu Jin recovered his memories and no longer liked him? Had he, who had just left, already decided to be with someone else?
Once things involved Mu Jin, Chester could no longer think properly. He only felt that he could not think about it any further, so he simply ordered the pirate ship to turn around and return to the Empire.
He intended to stop this engagement ceremony, and under no circumstances would he let Mu Jin be given to anyone else.
So, by evening, when the engagement banquet ceremony began in the palace, the guests suddenly heard a loud noise from outside.
The Star Pirate ship, which had already left, unexpectedly flew back, and a black mecha descended from the sky, interrupting the ceremony.
Chester jumped down from the mecha, saw Mu Jin in formal wear standing by the red carpet, and Mu Jin’s eyes turned red in an instant. Gritting his teeth, Chester rushed over, took Mu Jin in his arms, and loudly questioned him, “Why are you getting engaged to someone else? You belong to me!”
Mu Jin was also startled by Chester’s sudden actions. Hearing the words, he raised an eyebrow, looking at his lover with a helpless expression.
The entire hall fell silent for a few seconds, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward. Chester also sensed that something was amiss, turned around, and saw all the guests staring at him and Mu Jin in shock.
In the center of the stage, there were the Empire’s Second Prince, Mu Shao, and the man with whom he had fought the golden-haired man that day. Both of them were staring dumbfounded at Chester and Mu Jin, holding rings in their hands, seemingly about to exchange them.
Seeing this scene, Chester was dumbfounded, and feeling guilty, he took a step back. Chester swallowed his saliva, tentatively asking Mu Jin, “The one getting engaged is your brother, not you?”
Hearing Chester’s words, Mu Jin twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a helpless expression, “Otherwise, what did you think?”
Hearing his lover’s words, if Chester still couldn’t figure out why he suddenly went mad, driving the mecha to break into the place, he would have wasted so many years of his life.
Originally, due to the recent conflicts, the royal family wanted to quietly hold the engagement of Mu Shao and Aqibade. Therefore, today, only members of the royal family and Aqibade’s family were present. Unexpectedly, Chester had suddenly rushed in, causing such a big misunderstanding.
Knowing that he had misunderstood Mu Jin, Chester felt extremely embarrassed. He chuckled awkwardly and obediently stepped aside, looking at his beloved with a somewhat anxious expression, regretting that he had caused such a big mess without distinguishing right from wrong.
