Chapter 823: Chapter 818 Realization_1

Upon arriving at this point in their reasoning, everyone suddenly felt that it all made sense. It was very possible that the trap had been set by Finn Lewis himself, and the Aitken Family had foolishly walked right into it. However, what Finn hadn’t anticipated was that the Rochefort Clan would get involved.

Even if the opposing family had stepped in, if this had all been a ploy orchestrated by Finn, then those so-called interstellar pirates were in for some real fun. Those pirates had already swindled a sum of money from the Aitken Family, and even if the Rochefort Clan’s intervention meant Finn ended up buying those junk warships, he wouldn’t be at a loss.

But what Finn probably hadn’t expected was that even fate would lend him a hand, making the Rochefort Clan’s move pointless. The result was that a mysterious monster, which had appeared out of nowhere in the Heritage System, wiped them out completely. His luck was unbelievably good.

The school forum was filled with countless posts revealing the truth behind the events. But the truth that people spoke of—that Finn was just lucky—was far from reality. They would never imagine that the monsters were controlled by Finn and were not just some interstellar beasts.

Boarding his newly constructed battleship, Finn looked through the various forum posts revealing the “truth” and chuckled softly to himself; the feeling was indeed quite pleasant. Of course, Mike was going to accompany Finn back to the family, but after stepping onto Finn’s warship, he felt somewhat numb.

Because even an idiot, seeing these warships, would not believe that Finn was clueless. Even if Finn didn’t understand, there must be those under him who did. They wouldn’t just sit back and watch Finn suffer losses. Those silent individuals indicated that they had essentially served the entire Aitken Family to Finn on a silver platter.

Mike felt ill at ease, but no one paid him any attention. After boarding the warship, Finn crisply commanded a temporary T2500 model AI robot, “Head for the Aitken Family’s Capital Star.”

“As you command, Your Highness.” Following Finn’s order, the entire fleet promptly entered jump drive. Finn didn’t reveal any other secret weapons; the entire fleet jumped on its own. A single jump later, they arrived directly at the Aitken Family’s Capital Star, Ellie Star.

Finn’s fleet appeared less than 300,000 kilometers from Ellie Star, and the planet’s defense systems immediately scanned them. However, they had already received the relevant information, and the entire Aitken Family was waiting there. They just hadn’t anticipated that Finn would arrive so swiftly.

“Prepare a shuttle; we’re going down,” Finn said indifferently.

“Your Highness, need we go down? We could have members of their family come aboard our ship,” suggested Marlon Murray hesitantly.

Marlon left unsaid the fact that who knows whether they might be desperate enough to try something? It would be better to have them come out. After all, the entire Aitken Family certainly couldn’t defeat this fleet.

“Go down,” Finn repeated curtly.

Marlon immediately fell silent. Though he hadn’t worked with Finn for long, he had a good sense of Finn’s character: Finn was firm and stood his ground, especially in the face of major issues—he meant what he said.

Marlon thus ceased his objections. Although he was worried, he said nothing more. A shuttle was quickly prepared, and those accompanying Finn were no more than ten bodyguards, along with Marlon and Violet Davis. Violet was now thoroughly Finn’s personal team secretary.

Of course, she still concurrently led Star Bank’s private team; Finn had simply given her an additional salary. Violet was no fool; having been by Finn’s side for so long, how could she not know how to choose? Associating with a top-tier tycoon like Finn was truly like having a solid mountain to lean on.

In Star Bank, although their future was promising, at best, they would only be senior managers, which definitely wouldn’t compare to being associated with someone from the elite royal family like Finn.

Barry quickly received the news that Finn was going to land on Ellie Star. Truth be told, he was surprised; he hadn’t expected Finn to be so bold as to come directly to their planet. Although they had fleets in space, controlling Finn would mean the space fleet wouldn’t dare move against Ellie Star, would it?

To be honest, such thoughts did cross Barry’s mind for a moment, but he quickly suppressed them. The reason was simple: he couldn’t see a way to deal with the repercussions. Even if they managed to kill Finn, they would all have to pay a price for their actions.

Because neither the Federation nor any other power could contend with Finn. Yet, despite this, Barry was somewhat impressed by Finn’s audacity. Now he just didn’t know whether Finn was naively bold or genuinely courageous.

The answer came quickly. The moment Finn stepped off the shuttle, Barry’s face spelled disbelief; he felt as if he’d been dealt an impossible hand. This was the publicly ridiculed, foolishly rich prince?

“Shit, are you blind? Dare to say that Finn looks like an idiot now? Those who call Finn an idiot are the biggest idiots of all.”

In that moment, Finn exuded a temperament of confidence, serenity, and a haughtiness that seemed above the mundane. His face bore a faint smile, as if he was fully assured of himself, or rather, as if everything around him didn’t really concern him at all.

The persona Finn was showing now was his true nature. At that moment, he indeed seemed fearless and unbothered by trivial details. And his reason for being here was to show his genuine self.

“To your conference room.” Upon seeing Barry, Finn didn’t wait for him to speak and simply tossed out a sentence before walking past him straight into the interior. He had already thoroughly scanned the Luna Starfield; soon, Finn led the way into the Aitken Family’s highest conference room.

All the highest members of the Aitken Family’s Elder Council were present. Finn’s ten bodyguards stood; besides them, Mike also took up a position to one side. After entering the room, Barry, who naturally didn’t dare take the seat of honor, stood next to the first chair on the left-hand side.
