Chapter 54 General Social Etiquette

She was blackmailed.

Emilia Yue is now very sure that she has been blackmailed by this man named Yang Ming!

He actually took away Luofeng coins equivalent to one million federal coins from her small treasury!

Even now, Princess Emilia had to endure this shameless man flirting with her maid, while she could only be sandwiched between the guards and the attendant, wearing sunglasses, holding her chin, and saying nothing.

What a terrible adventure outside the palace.

The hovercraft was heading towards the center of Yilanduo.

The scene of the incident has become a mess.

The attack ship did not attack the other two armored vehicles.

After Yang Ming picked up Emilia and her group of four, he asked Lu to use an anonymous information channel to send the news that the fourth princess was with the fake Talisa to Gutonmaha.

Gutonmaha immediately stopped the small attack ship and forced the other two bulletproof vehicles to stop. He captured eight royal guards from them and confirmed the accuracy of the anonymous news through interrogation.

This frightened Gutonmaha and the other two military leaders so much that they broke out in cold sweats.

They were just one step away from igniting a civil war in this country!

New problems arise.

Where is the fourth princess?

The military found the empty bulletproof car in the emergency lane of the tunnel. The Fourth Princess and her maid (fake Talisa), a living officer, and a female guard disappeared at the same time.

Gutonmaha fell into deep thought as he watched the video sent back from the scene.

Is this the purpose of Yang Ming coming here?

The New Federation wants to gradually seize the entire Luofeng Empire by manipulating the four princesses?

Or maybe the New Federation didn't want to see a civil war break out in the Luofeng Empire now, so it sent Yang Ming to stop this stupid thing?

Gutonmaha analyzed it carefully.

He was a little confused about the intentions of the New Federation.

In the past decade or so, the New Federation has been trying to launch a revolution in the Luofeng Empire, overthrow or sideline the Luofeng royal family, and use the slogan of freedom as a cover to turn this place into their de facto colony, and take the opportunity to strike at the peripheral forces of the Sherman Empire.

In fact, Gutonmaha couldn't help but suspect that his teacher, that wise and thoughtful old man, deliberately did not check who was on the hovercraft and deliberately gave the attack order directly.

If this is true, what should I do?

Gudunmaha kept thinking.

"grown ups!"

A school officer's head appeared in the corner of the projection screen and reported quickly:

"The Imperial Household Department sent a reply letter, asking us not to disclose the news that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess went out. Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess was just having fun and went out to see the splendor of the empire. They have already informed His Majesty the Emperor that the military attack ship accidentally locked onto the Fourth Princess's frame. In addition, the Royal Guard has gone out to search for the Fourth Princess, and all military operations on the surface should be stopped as soon as possible."

Gutonmaha nodded and said, "Follow their reply. Keep replying. The First Star Defense Corps awaits your Majesty's orders."

"yes!"

The officer's head portrait disappeared.

Gutonmaha slumped back in his chair, sighed softly, and felt that he would need to go and ask for an audience with His Majesty next.

"Yang Ming, what do you want?"

…

"Mr. Yang Ming, can I ask you a question?"

In a slowly moving hovercraft.

Yang Ming, who was humming a song, was interrupted by a questioning voice coming from behind.

The little princess Emilia had pushed her sunglasses down to her forehead and was staring at Yang Ming with her lively big eyes.

Take money from others and help them eliminate disasters.

Yang Ming replied with a smile: "Of course, my employer."

Emilia asked softly, "Why didn't they scan our hovercraft?"

"I used some technical means," Yang Ming said gently. "For a long time, due to the continuous development of high-tech, people have become more and more dependent on machines, and everyone will firmly believe in the results seen by machines. However, when you have a technological advantage, machines are easier to deceive than humans."

Emilia blinked: "So, you have such a technical advantage?"

"Of course," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I am a businessman, and what businessmen like most is to take shortcuts, take risks, and develop new technologies."

"No ordinary businessman would have the means to remotely control my vehicle."

Emilia's eyes became very sharp, showing a maturity that did not belong to her age.

She kept saying:

“You’re spying on us, aren’t you?

"When we left the hotel, you spotted me in the car, and followed me all the way, trying to do something, is that right?"

Yang Ming frowned secretly.

Is this yellow-haired girl so hard to fool?

However, after all, this is just a little girl whose mind matured prematurely under the pressure of the royal family.

"Well, since you want to know, this is not some shameful past. I only became a businessman recently."

Yang Ming recalled the time when he played "Abyss".

Looking back now, those were the most carefree years for him.

Yang Ming said leisurely:

"I had a passionate sailing life before I was persuaded by Uncle Hatton to help him run his business.

"I drove my ship, together with a few like-minded friends, to explore some hidden corners of the Milky Way, to search for the legendary ruins of civilization, to deal with space pirates, to buy supplies on the black market, and to fight desperately with those powerful mechanical life forms and genetically modified life forms.

“Occasionally we would participate in battles between legions as mercenaries. We would ride on small airships that would be shattered by a single hit from a ship’s main gun, rush into their tail cabins like locusts, then take out our lightsabers and simple mechas, activate our protective shields, and fight the enemy head-on.

“Sometimes we get into trouble and struggle, partners quarrel and disagree, old friends leave, new friends emerge, and then we embark on the next galactic voyage… You can understand that I used to be a bounty hunter.”

The fake Talisa, as well as the female guards and attendants beside Emilia, looked at Yang Ming with admiration.

"Bounty Hunter?"

Emilia's eyes sparkled.

She asked quietly, "Is it a mercenary who will do anything for money?"

Yang Ming: …

In fact, they are not just in it for money. In the game, they also play for experience points for upgrading, skill books, precious resources, to satisfy their collecting hobbies, etc.

"Yes," Yang Ming said calmly, "but I have quit this business now and am learning business from my uncle."

Emilia asked quietly, "Why?"

"Your curiosity is a bit serious," Yang Ming said slowly, "something not so good happened."

The attendant was a beautiful woman who looked to be less than 30 years old, and she exuded a very feminine charm.

She said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, if the other party has citizenship recognized by other countries and has no criminal record, then we should not interrogate the other party's privacy."

"I know," Emilia whispered, "I just think his fees are too high."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "That's because you are worth the price. Okay, where should I take you? Directly to the palace?"

"I'm afraid not," Emilia said, "Can I go to your place to hide? If I'm caught by the guards or the military now, the three of them will face three to five years in prison."

The three women who were traveling with them immediately smiled bitterly.

Yang Ming asked: "Then what methods can you think of to prevent this from happening?"

"I want them to pretend to find me on their own initiative," Emilia said, "so that they can make up for their mistakes. I also need to contact my second brother in advance and ask him to put pressure on the internal affairs officials. Also, I want to see how the situation will develop if I disappear, and whether I can put some pressure on my father and brothers."

Yang Ming frowned slightly: "The place where I live is the hotel you visited before. As long as you show up in public, you will inevitably be unable to escape the ubiquitous security surveillance."

"Well, I can solve this problem..."

The beautiful attendant interrupted Yang Ming's words, with a bit of embarrassment on her pretty face, and whispered:

"I am a super core member of that hotel. I have a secret passage that I can use. There is absolutely no surveillance. I can also book a room without anyone knowing."

"Oh," Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at the attendant through the rearview mirror.

Emilia wondered, "Why do you have super core members there? Is it because you go there often?"

"Your Highness... I am a single woman who is mentally and physically healthy..."

"Hmm?" Emilia tilted her head.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't ask too many questions, kid. When you grow up, you will understand what social etiquette among nobles is."

Emilia pouted slightly.

"I'm not a noble, just an ordinary working woman, Mr. Bounty Hunter," the attendant defended herself, then lowered her head to start making reservations.

Yang Ming twitched his nose.

He smelled a hint of spring.

…

The disappearance of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess caused a small-scale panic in Yilandu City.

The reason why it was a small-scale operation was that ordinary citizens did not feel anything, and they worked as they should and had fun as they should. The panic was caused by insiders in the military and the forces controlled by the royal family.

The royal family was worried that the military had held the lovely little princess, the apple of His Majesty's eye, hostage.

The military was worried that this would cause the royal family to feel a sense of crisis, thus forcing the royal family to directly confront the military.

No news came from the emperor's study.

The three princes soon received the news, and the second prince sent his trusted guards to join the search for Emilia.

One after another, hover cars with gold-rimmed license plates were running everywhere;

Men and women in designer uniforms and coats were on duty at every intersection.

Small spaceships were deployed on the edge of the city.

Gutonmaha, who controlled the mobilization of military forces near the first star, made an emergency landing on the surface, entered the palace to apologize to the emperor, and attributed the previous "mislock" incident to spies from external forces who released false information.

However, at this moment when the city was in turmoil.

Kolev was awakened by Yang Ming's call, and at the door of his room, he received two large boxes of takeout food delivered by the waiter.

Kolev couldn't help but mutter, "What is my troublesome nephew doing?"

A few minutes later, Lu turned off the corridor surveillance near the Starry Sky Suite.

Kolev strolled out with two boxes of takeout, and according to Lu's instructions, he entered the elevator at the end of the corridor. He fumbled around in the area at the back that looked like a metal plate and successfully activated another elevator panel.

"Oh, there really is a thirty-fifth floor?"

The old pirate soon realized what was going on.

When Kolev arrived at the 35th floor, he saw more than a dozen forked roads.

Kolev walked into the third room on the left, arrived at a mural that looked quite valuable, found the hidden combination lock, and under Lu's guidance, opened the secret door covered by the mural.

'Wow, it really is stealing someone's suite.'

Kolev smiled with his eyes narrowed, and then his smile froze slightly.

He saw Yang Ming, the fake Talisa, and two young women in the suite.

The old pirate stared at Yang Ming with a scrutinizing gaze: "My dear nephew, you must take care of yourself."

Yang Ming shrugged: "I'm very strong."

"I used to think so too," Kolev put the takeaway aside, walked to the door frame where Yang Ming was standing , subconsciously looked inside, and then frowned a little deeper.

Kolev whispered, "Don't tell me... Hey, even I would never do such an immoral thing before!"

Yang Ming said calmly: "Uncle Hatton, this is the fourth princess of the Luofeng Empire, Emilia, and here are her maids, attendants, and female guards."

“Oh, this…”

Kolev rubbed his brows and said, "Okay, wait until I wake up and tell me what happened. I must be dreaming now."

Yang Ming turned around and shouted, "Your Highness, your children's meal has arrived."

"I want the normal set meal!"

Emilia muttered something, and the living officer began to unpack the food.

Kolev pulled Yang Ming to a corner and muttered to himself.

Yang Ming briefly explained that he had saved Emilia by accident, and in front of the other four people, he swore that he had never caused any trouble.

Kolev shook his head. "In that case, you should go back to your room and rest. If the reputation of a princess is damaged, worse things are likely to happen."

"I'm just about to go back."

Emilia put down the fries in her hand, called her attendant, and whispered something to him.

The attendant nodded slightly and whispered, "Don't worry, I will express my gratitude on your behalf and personally send him off later. I will also invite this gentleman to have a cup of coffee."

"Forget about the coffee," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Don't go out, it's easy to be exposed."

Having said that, the attendant still insisted on escorting Yang Ming and Kolev out of the hidden suite and gently closed the "mural door".

"Just send it here," Kolev said gently.

The attendant smiled and nodded, walked to the mural next door, and winked at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming received the signal.

After Yang Ming sent Kolev back to the Starry Sky Suite, he took the secret elevator again, returned to the 35th floor, and arrived in front of the mural where the living officer last stood.

The mural wall slowly opened, and a white hand reached out, grabbed Yang Ming's collar, and gently pulled him into the newly opened suite.

The slightly dim light in the room, illuminating the beauty in front of him, made Yang Ming's heart burn with a hint of heat.

The two figures stuck together like a magnet.

The electric drawer of the bedside table opened automatically, revealing a box of... family planning supplies.

"This is a reward," she whispered in Yang Ming's ear.

"Given by the Empire?"

"No, a personal reward for my own warriors."

…

"H- ...

Emilia yawned, hugged her pillow and lay on the bed, muttering, "Why hasn't the attendant come back yet? He's been gone for two hours."

"She is socializing," the fake Talisa said softly, "Your Highness, please go to sleep first. Do you need me to tell you a story?"

"I'm grown up and working hard for our country. I don't need to... tell a story about the little bear Gulu..."
