Chapter 1328.
A new Glory was born in the Empire.
Although the news wasn’t widely spread to all citizens, it spread to all star clusters within the empire’s boundaries at superluminal speed, letting the noble class know about the existence of Baron Glory – Wang Dust.
Even the higher echelons of the alliance had gotten the corresponding information and had put him on the list of key concerns.
Because every Imperial Glory represented a powerful force!
Wang Dust received a notification from the imperial family the day after he returned to Sacred Light Star, and had to change his travel plans, and then entered the palace two days apart to face the saint, and participated in the conferral ceremony that His Majesty the Emperor personally presided over for him.
If it was a hundred years ago, the ceremony of bestowing a Glorious Noble was very grand, but nowadays the protocols had long been modified and became much simpler.
But the solemnity remained the same!
The hundreds of people who had been summoned to the palace to observe the ceremony at the same time were all people of high rank and power, encompassing the topmost elite of the empire, including the empire’s Prime Minister, the Speaker of the Parliament, the Commander-in-Chief of the army, and so on.
This conferral ceremony had also allowed Wang Chen to truly enter the sights of the bigwigs.
And against this background, the shocking news that the once-glorious Wan Hai Group had been blocked and taken over by the Empire’s three major bureaus didn’t even make the slightest ripple.
Including the Wan family also chose to remain silent, did not make waves, put on a look of being slaughtered.
Because as long as one had a bit of a brain, one could understand that His Majesty the Emperor was using the Tampax Star’s material embezzlement offense as an entry point, taking advantage of the heavy losses of the Wan Clan’s top management to put the knife to the Wan Clan’s plutocracy.
The Holy Light Emperor’s will was extremely firm, and the timing of his attack was extremely well chosen, so even the Wan Clan’s allies were caught off guard, and the dust had already settled when they reacted.
Although the Wan Clan’s plutocracy would not completely fall, and the Wan Hai Group could still be retained, the Wan Clan’s hundreds of years of accumulation would inevitably have to cede a large portion of its flesh and blood to fill the increasingly dry treasury!
A ceremony with different hearts.
Just as the protagonist, Wang Dust had no feelings about it, and didn’t even care about the honorable title he had just received.
After the conferral ceremony, Wang Dust was asked to leave the palace.
This made him somewhat strange.
It felt like this Emperor’s Majesty wasn’t very willing to talk to him much, and even had the implication of sending the plague!
“Was it you who snatched my airship?”
And before Wang Chen even stepped out of the gate of the palace, he was stopped in his tracks by a little girl who was powdered and carved.
The other party was around ten years old, with a very cute and pretty appearance, wearing a rather luxurious set of princess dresses, and a small diamond crown on her head.
Its identity was known without guessing!
It was just that this Princess looked at Wang Chuan with wide eyes, her eyes were red and she looked like she would cry at any time.
Wang Chen smiled and said, “Your Highness, I didn’t rob you.”
If memory serves, this should be Princess Shiyu.
His Majesty the Emperor’s pearl in the palm of his hand!
“Liar!”
The little princess huffed, “Father clearly gave you my Starlight, and I haven’t even sat on it yet!”
She struggled to accuse, crystal tears welling up in her eyes.
Does no one even care about this?
Wang Dust instantly had a bit of a headache.
Just as he looked around, he realized that the surrounding vote of royal guards were all looking at each other with their eyes and noses, pretending that they didn’t see it.
Wang Dust actually didn’t care about a spaceship, even if this Starlight ship was said to be a royal imperial build, worth tens of billions of star dollars.
But for no reason at all, it was impossible for him to give the Starlight ship back to this little princess.
On what grounds ah!
“This is simple.”
Wang Dust said, “If your highness wants to sit, you can come to me and get a free ride.”
The little princess was confused, “Huh?”
In her past experience, as long as she pampered herself and shed tears, then she could get whatever she wanted.
There was never an example of failure.
But now she ran into a guy who was completely insensitive.
She got angry, “I mean you give it back to me!”
“That won’t do.”
Wang Dust smiled and fished out a lollipop and stuffed it into her hand, “Your Highness, I can’t give His Majesty’s reward to someone else, so I’ll give you a candy, so eat it slowly.”
He touched the little princess’s head, then left without looking back.
The little princess froze for a moment before reacting.
“Wow” cried out.
However, she was still holding the lollipop given to her by Wang Dust in her hand.
This was Wang Chen’s first meeting with Princess Shiyu, and he left a devilish impression in the latter’s heart!
After leaving the palace, Wang Chen rushed to the Royal Exclusive Airport Area at the first opportunity.
Taking over the Starlight cruise ship that already belonged to him.
The size of this cruise ship wasn’t very big, its size was equivalent to a small frigate, and it could carry one hundred and twenty crew members and fifty passengers at the same time.
When it was said to be a cruise ship, it was actually a yacht.
However, its design was extremely advanced, and the eight ultra-high-energy ion engines it carried, once turned on at the same time, could make it the fastest ship in the world, with no existence currently able to match it.
Not only that, the Starlight also had super stealth ability and super strong force field defense system, although it was not a battleship, it was still equipped with one main, two vice three particle cannons.
Although the Starlight’s firepower was not comparable to that of a real frigate, its speed and defense were unmatched by the latter, so it was not afraid of any enemy.
Most importantly, the Starlight could fly automatically with the intervention of artificial intelligence, and could realize interstellar navigation without a crew.
After taking over the Starlight, it took Wang Chen five days to familiarize himself with the ship’s basic operations.
The interior decoration of the Starlight was incredibly luxurious, with as many as seven bathrooms with bathtubs, and its master bedroom suite was even more extravagant, with all kinds of advanced equipment.
In addition the ship’s energy and material reserves were full, only the mech bay was empty.
But Wang Chen was already satisfied.
On the third day after he completed his first test flight, he drove this super cruise ship alone to Taiwu Star.
Originally, Wang Dust had planned to stay in the Sacred Light Star for two or three days and then leave, but he didn’t expect to be delayed by many things and didn’t move until now.
On this journey, he familiarized himself with the Starlight while learning about every aspect of the situation through the Star Ocean Network.
Preparing for the next step of the plan.
Two days later, Wang Chen smoothly arrived at Taiwu Star.
It must be noted that as a royal imperial ship, the Starlight enjoyed queue insertion and exemption from inspection through the Stargate, so he was able to reach his destination so quickly.
After parking the Starlight at the berth of the space fortress, Wang Chen contacted his two girlfriends.
Having just gotten such a big toy, not showing it off to his girlfriends was tantamount to a brocade night!
And this super cruise ship did give Tang Mi and Ming Mei a big surprise.
