Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 62 [Battle for the Scepter]

You took what was mine.

　　"Xerxes, I heard that you testified for Nalun. Is everything okay now?"

　　After hearing the voice of his eldest cousin, Nalun paused for a few seconds and said, "Well, it's okay."

　　His Majesty the Emperor: "That's good... Wait, who are you?"

　　Nalun asked, "Where's Hijin?"

　　The other side fell into a deathly silence. After a long while, he asked, "Nalun?"

　　Nalun: "It's me."

　　Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of something heavy falling from the Emperor's side, and then he heard the young man's voice with full energy: "Hey, is that Nalun? I'm here!!"

　　Nalun asked directly, "Where is the gem you are going to give me?"

　　Hijin said, "Ah!" "Gem? Snap, snap."

　　Nalun: "...Well, I was on Sher Street, and I heard from Luye that you lived here before?"

　　Higgin: "Kachakacha, I wanted to give it to you personally, I hid it in the landlord's safe."

　　Nalun: "...what did you say?"

　　Higgin: "They say it's safest to hide things in a safe, so I sneaked it into the landlord's locker."

　　Nalun was silent.

　　"How did you put it in there?"

　　Higgin: "Crack, crack, I bit a hole in the bottom."

　　Nalun: "..."

　　A hissing noise was heard in the terminal.

　　Hijin: "It's a bit toothy."

　　Nalun: "...What does it smell like?"

　　Hijin: "Crunch, crunch, creamy."

　　Nalun: "What are you eating?"

　　Hijin: "Luye gave it to me."

　　At this moment, the Emperor's wailing came from the terminal -

　　"Xiao Jin! That's a terminal, you can't eat it!"

　　After a burst of mixed electric noise, the communication ended completely.

　　Nalun thought that maybe there would be a period of time when he would not be able to contact His Majesty the Emperor.

　　When the landlord asked about the safe, his face changed and he seemed a little reluctant, but the two were obviously official personnel, searching for something. As a law-abiding citizen, the landlord looked around and agreed to take them to check the safe: "Then hurry up!"

　　His safe was very well hidden. During this time, the landlord kept looking around and was distracted, which made Nalun feel strange. As a result, the landlord asked a strange question: "Young man, are you still single?"

　　Nalun: "..."

　　"Once a man gets married, the financial power no longer belongs to him."

　　Nalun was puzzled.

　　"That's where I hide my private money." He said admiringly, "You actually found something that even my wife didn't know. The empire's reconnaissance capabilities are really amazing!"

　　Nalun: "..."

The landlord said as he opened the cabinet: "Hey, why is there a hole?"

　　Nalun took a look and exclaimed that Xijin's teeth were really good.
