The Way Back to Civilization - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Civilization Successor

“This is really…”

After feeling a little emotional, Wilm said thoughtfully.

“You’re really making me more and more interested, Mr. Gu Fan.”

At this moment, the door of the mansion at the side was slowly opening from the outside to the inside. As the view gradually widened, what appeared in front of everyone was a luxurious hall.

When people really entered the mansion and strolled through the velvet-covered hall, a peaceful and sacred atmosphere began to slowly rise in Gu Fan’s heart. It felt like he was in an ancient and sacred church.

Perhaps it was related to Wilm’s former identity as a psionic race, but everything here showed the personal beliefs of the owner of the house.

What surprised Gu Fan was that the interior of the mansion was decorated in a rather sophisticated style. It was actually very similar to the medieval Gothic architecture of the ancient times of mankind. Everything seemed to indicate that this guy named Wilm must know something.

Just as Gu Fan was admiring his surroundings with interest, a thin figure not far away suddenly attracted his attention.

The person was wearing an inconspicuous beige robe. At this moment, she was holding a kettle and watering the flower pot in front of the corridor. From her figure, she should be a young woman. If he was not wrong, she was a servant of this mansion.

A moment later, as if sensing that someone was watching him, the two cat ears on the other party’s head turned slightly before carefully turning around.

Eh? A real cat girl? Looking at her little face that looked like a human and a cat, Gu Fan only felt that it was quite interesting and could not help but take a few more glances.

However, as if she was afraid of being discovered, the young maid quickly turned her face away after glancing at the group of people behind her from the corner of her eye.

It was obvious that she did not dare to make eye contact with the people. It was also at this moment that Gu Fan saw the black collar on the other party’s neck for the first time.

There was no doubt that it was the symbol of a slave.

The next second, when he turned around, he realized that Wilm was looking at him silently not far away.

Soon, the group passed through the long corridor and arrived at the meeting room in the mansion.

When everyone sat around the round table in the middle of the meeting, Wilm, as the host, spoke first.

“Mr. Ramchi, you’ve worked hard on this transportation contract. Other than you, I don’t know anyone else who can complete the mission in such a short time.”

Upon hearing this, Ramchi forced a smile.

“This is all thanks to the company’s special approval of the route for our Ram Chamber Of Commerce. In the end, it’s all thanks to the company.”

Although the Trade Federation and Huan Yu Enterprise were both business-oriented alliances, one side was flexible in trading while the other was good at regional monopolies. Driven by common interests, the two parties that had reached an agreement were using their own specialties to wantonly absorb the astronomical wealth from all over the universe.

Looking at the two people talking in front of him, Gu Fan could not help but think of a term that often appeared in human society.

Big capitalists were probably referring to existences like them.

The conversation between the two of them lasted for a while. Just as Gu Fan was still listening and sorting out information that was useful to him, Suddenly, Ramchi mentioned his name.

“By the way, Mr. Gu Fan said before he came that he wanted to talk to you personally.”

“Is that so?”

As he spoke, the two leaders had already cast their gazes over. Gu Fan was already prepared. He spoke unhurriedly and then reached his right hand into the pocket of his shirt. “Mr. Wilm, there’s something I’d like you to firm up for me. I’ve heard that you’re an expert in this area.”

Soon, he took out a special device that was only the size of a thumb and looked like an hourglass.

Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a mini black hole sealed in the center of the two triangular cones. Occasionally, black lightning would flash around it.

The moment he saw that thing, Ramchi’s eyes lit up.

If Wilm hadn’t been there, he would have been drooling. “This… is an artificial black hole that has been compressed to the extreme?”

“Lord God, where did you get this thing?”

Hearing the other party’s shocked tone, Gu Fan knew that his luck was not bad.

In fact, he had dismantled this thing from the Glory Queen’s missile storage. Other than the core component of the Black Hole Missile in his hand, he had also brought many strange gadgets with him. The specific origins were roughly the same. In short, they were dismantled.

Just in case the other party didn’t like it, he had other treasures that he could take out. “Looks like you’re very satisfied. If I say that I want to sell this thing to you, how much do you think it will be worth?”

Faced with such a question, Wilm’s mechanical head was obviously stunned.

“I don’t know… This thing is too precious. It’s said that just a stable man-made black hole can produce enough energy for a planet.”

“If you insist on giving an estimate, it can probably be estimated to be more than 10 billion star coins.”

At this moment, Gu Fan was also shocked. This was the first time he knew that this thing was actually so valuable in the eyes of outsiders. So, in order to eliminate those pirates, he had poured out a few trillions of wealth? F*ck, this was not as simple as a loss…

It was a huge loss…

Moreover, could this thing be used as a generator? He was not sure if the other party was really accurate.

In the end, he adjusted his awkward mood.

“In that case, I wonder if this thing can be exchanged for information about the Observer.”

He placed the missile core on the table and pushed it in Wilm’s direction.

For a moment, the small meeting room fell into a long silence.

It was obvious that Wilm was in a dilemma, but in the end, under the temptation of the treasure…

“Alright… This is indeed a good deal. What do you want to know?”

Hearing that the other party had relented, Ramchi, who was at the side, instantly became interested and pricked up his ears.

After all, he didn’t want to miss out on this precious information worth ten billion star coins.

“I want to know who they are and where they are.”

“As well as how I can find them.” Faced with this series of questions, Wilm thought for a moment.

“I just happen to know some rumors about them. It’s said that they were once test officers created by humans.”

“The goal is to find a suitable successor from the Milky Way.”

These words clearly piqued Gu Fan’s interest. “Successor? What exactly do you mean?” But what the other party said next made him fall silent.

“Successor of the Human Civilization,”
