Chapter 2540: Can You Come With Us to Our House?
Owen seemed to be someone who had blood on his hands. His body seemed to emit a vicious aura.
It mustn’t have been easy for him to secure his position as the boss of this area.
“What do you want?” Owen asked.
“My brother and I have something to discuss with you. Can you come with us to our house?” Ning Shu said.
Vivian immediately urged Owen by saying, “Let’s go, Brother. Let’s go, let’s go!”
Owen spat. Rather angrily, he said, “You’re more loyal to him than your own family.
“I’ll go see this Alviss, that guy you always blather on about, but I’m only doing this for your sake,” Owen said.
Vivian immediately smiled. Her face beamed with joy. “Thank you, Brother.”
Ning Shu was a little surprised. She thought that she would have to do a lot of persuading to get the boss of this area to come to their house, but he agreed so easily.
To her, this felt like inviting the governor to her home and the governor actually accepting her invitation.
When the group arrived at their tent, Owen walked in and looked right at Alviss, who was sitting in his wheelchair. He asked, “What do you want from me?”
Alviss told Owen about what he had discussed with Ning Shu before.
Ning Shu got an even stranger feeling. She felt as if Alviss was assigning tasks to Owen.
Facing the boss of the area, Alviss was neither humble nor overbearing. This made Ning Shu feel that her younger brother was not an ordinary person.
After hearing what Alviss said, Owen immediately shook his head. “What you ask is too difficult to carry out.”
There was a key problem here. When the people of Sehlde stood face to face against that big spaceship, all their will to resist its force would immediately dissipate.
The people on Planet Sehlde were people who had never seen the world outside of their own. If they were asked to resist those outsiders, they wouldn’t dare to.
The power disparity between them and their enemy was too great.
“We can use those.” Ning Shu pointed to the barrels outside the tent. Inside the barrels were the fuel that Ning Shu had collected.
“We just need to find a way to deal with their mecha pilots. Without their mecha pilots, even ordinary people from Sehlde can easily deal with that spaceship’s crew.”
Surely not everyone on that spaceship was a mecha pilot. People with such strong mental strength were not a dime a dozen and that easily found.
If all of them were mecha pilots, they wouldn’t be looking all around the interstellar system for people with strong mental strength.
Ordinary tasks, such as cleaning, washing, and cooking duties probably done by ordinary crew members.
They might even be done by robots. Robots would be even easier to deal with than crew members.
Ning Shu told them the method that she had been planning secretly on her own.
“It’s too risky,” Alviss said after he heard Ning Shu’s plan.
“It’s worth it,” Ning Shu replied.
Alviss looked at Owen and said, “I need you to recruit people for this matter. If we succeed in leaving this place, we’ll achieve what generations of our ancestors have wished for. We won’t live in a garbage dump anymore.”
Owen looked a little angry as he said, “The people of the interstellar system have never taken our opinions into consideration. Regardless of our wishes, they take our planet as an abandoned planet and dump all their garbage here.”
Owen shook his head and expressed his disagreement by saying, “It’ll indeed be great if we could leave this planet. However, if we fail, the price that we’d have to pay would be too much to bear. They might even destroy Sehlde.”
Indifferently, Alviss said, “You only have a few more years, anyway.”
Owen was around eighteen years old now. Considering the average life expectancy of the people on this planet, Owen indeed didn’t have many more years to live.
Owen’s face shook.
Ning Shu was a little speechless. What kind of conversation was this? Owen and Alviss’ relationship seemed to only be getting colder as this conversation progressed. Forget cooperation—it seemed like a fight between these two would break out any second now.
