Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 621 The Priest's Fall

"Waaah! Goodbye, friends! I have to catch my train!"

Bye-bye~ See you after the holiday.

"Let's go, Ganz."

"OK Bye Bye."

Ganz waved goodbye to his familiar friends with a smile.

Today is my last day at the base. The instructors just called a meeting for everyone, talked about some prohibitions and precautions, and then announced that we were dismissed and could "get out".

Everyone was overjoyed and couldn't wait to carry their luggage and run outside.

Having stayed here for a year, I only got two days off every two weeks, and even during the Spring Festival, I only had a week off. Many of those who lived far away didn't have a chance to go home. But this time, with a full two weeks of rest, they can finally go back and visit.

Hai Sang had also booked his tickets. Before leaving, he noticed that Ganz seemed a bit off, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong? You look so distracted. Aren't you happy to be going home?"

“No,” Ganz denied.

He couldn't explain what was wrong with him; he was just inexplicably irritable, and this had been the case for the past two days.

"Maybe it's because I'm reluctant to leave you all, that's why I'm feeling a bit down," he gave himself as an excuse.

Hai Sang couldn't help but laugh, patted his arm, and joked, "Don't be like that, it's kind of cheesy. If it really doesn't work, you can come home with me."

"That won't work."

"Hahahaha!"

After seeing everyone off, Ganz returned to his dormitory alone. Looking at the small, homely room, he felt somewhat lost. Although his adoptive father had said he would live there permanently, he didn't know if it was just a casual remark or a serious statement.

Even if it's true, he should go back and see.

Having been away for a year and completely cut off from his family, Gantz missed his father, mother, brother, and priestesses terribly.

As a child, he didn't understand much, naively believing that a horse-drawn carriage could take him anywhere he wanted to go. Now, he fully realizes the vastness of the universe. He also finally understands why his adoptive father left with Vera, who was still an infant, and never contacted him again.

Ganz couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and glanced around the room. He hadn't brought any luggage and simply closed the door.

It was very hot outside, and the base was surrounded by mountains. Looking up, it felt like I was back on Planet Goodell. The sun there was always so big.

Ganz's heart suddenly started beating erratically, his brain felt dizzy as if the world was spinning, and his ears rang with a sharp buzzing sound.

He closed his eyes tightly and spread his arms to maintain his balance.

Fortunately, the feeling came on quickly and went away quickly; after a minute, the dizziness gradually subsided.

The anxiety he had been feeling lately reached its peak at this moment. Ganz clutched his chest, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon, his heart still pounding.

Like a wild animal, he sensed danger approaching but couldn't decide which direction to "flee." A conflict arose between the brain's signals and the body's signals, resulting in sensory dissonance.

Ganz raised his wrist, which was equipped with a quantum computer, to try to contact Seifert, but found that it was shaking.

With a "snap," he gripped it with his other hand, trying to stop the trembling, and then dialed Seifert's number.

"...Hey, Father, where are you?"

"I want to go home."

"Can you come pick me up and take me home?"

"I want to go home..."

Meanwhile, Xu Weiwei and Sifus had just come out of the palace.

After a lengthy discussion, King Audu II finally agreed, out of consideration for the two women, to allow his eldest son, Fast, to accompany them to the planet Goodell. If the negotiations went smoothly, Goodell could be incorporated into the Empire.

Management, policies, and taxation are all negotiable. Xu Weiwei and Sifus have already secured the greatest possible leniency.

Their success wasn't due to exceptional eloquence, nor did they make any presumptuous promises. It was purely due to one word: perseverance. And if we were to add another word, it would be "endurance."

They came after a good meal and had plenty of energy. Odu II, on the other hand, was exhausted from a morning's work and still hungry. He had refused countless times, but they wouldn't leave; they seemed determined to persuade him.

Enraged, he pointed at Sifus's nose and berated him, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "Are you too idle? Or do you think I'm too idle? Why did you have to bring this up now of all times? I didn't say I wouldn't agree, could't we wait a while?"

Xu Weiwei keenly sensed something. At this time? What's happening now? Aliens are attacking Earth—no, the Empire?

The two tacitly avoided discussing the topic further.

Sifuss said with a mysterious look, "I have some inside information, but don't worry about how it came about. Anyway, now is the time with the highest success rate to go and talk to them."

Emperor Audu II was at his wit's end. One was his close friend and capable lieutenant, the other a rising star who had made outstanding contributions to the empire. Both were advocating for something beneficial to the empire.

“You don’t need to worry about everything yourself. The two princes are growing up, and this is also a good opportunity for them to learn and grow.”

Sifus's words struck a chord with Odu II, and the scales finally tipped in his favor, and he gave in.

"Find out what Fast is doing right now and have him come over," the Emperor instructed the Secretary-General.

Xu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, a joyful smile appearing on her face.

It was already 2 PM when they left the palace. After meeting with Fast, they decided to set off this evening.

Although there are still many details to be discussed, these can be left until we get there.

Just as the two were about to get into the car, Sifus suddenly received a message.

The moment he saw the contents clearly, he froze, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Xu Weiwei noticed his unusual reaction and had a bad feeling: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Sifus looked up and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Goodell's coordinates have been exposed."

Just now, he received a message from a colleague and friend. The other person happened to be on duty on a border planet closest to Goodell. He asked the other person to keep an eye out for him, and it would be best if they could spare a screen to monitor it 24 hours a day.

And so this message came about.

Xu Weiwei was stunned, unsure of what to say.

Fate seemed to be toying with her, offering a glimmer of hope only to deliver an even greater blow, leaving her constantly plagued by misfortune.

The planet Goodell was able to remain "invisible" in the universe thanks to the protection of its priests. Now that that unnatural, mysterious power has disappeared, one can only imagine what happened.

There was no time to grieve for the priest's fall. Xu Weiwei took deep breaths and told herself to pull herself together.

Life is inherently unpredictable, and even if she possessed the "Book of Answers," it wouldn't make a difference.

The robbers who stole the detector were a step too slow, and so was she. Neither of them had anticipated this.

There aren't that many "perfect moments" in this world.
