Chapter 813 This Isn't a Coincidence?
"F...Five-Level battleship?" Bernard seemed to be frozen in place, staring blankly at the massive fleet above Zhang Menglong.
A formation of more than 2,000 battleships covered the sky, an overwhelming and ominous sight akin to the apocalypse descending. That Level Three spaceship Bernard had been so proud of suddenly seemed like a mere toy.
"Come on! If you have the guts, come and get me! Weren't you arrogant just now? Come over here!" Zhang Menglong was in full mockery mode, furiously provoking Bernard.
Is a Level Four Civilization lord really that impressive? I have a Level Five Civilization battleship backing me up now. I can flatten your Level Four Civilization in an instant.
Zhang Menglong scratched his ear, "What did you just say? I didn't quite catch that, maybe you could repeat it?"
At this moment, Zhang Menglong's sarcastic nature was gleaming brilliantly once more.
Just then, a figure slowly descended from the air next to Zhang Menglong, and through the recognition system, he had confirmed that this young man was indeed his target to protect, and the owner of this five-star account!
"So young?" Zhang Menglong's age truly surprised Yimor.
He had wondered why a five-star user still needed his little fleet for protection?
But upon seeing Zhang Menglong, he understood. This must be a cosmic superrich second-generation kid!
Each star-level user can have 10 sub-accounts. Many such bigwigs often give permissions to their more important descendants, and it seemed Mr. Zhang was a particularly doted-upon junior of some big shot.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry we came late and frightened you." Although Zhang Menglong was just a young man and seemed like he couldn't hurt a fly, his identity was a trump card.
"It's fine; you all traveled a long way to get here. I appreciate your effort," Zhang Menglong said.
"Is that the one who tried to attack you?" Yimor's gaze fixed on Bernard.
"A Level Three Civilization spaceship? Level Three life form? Really?" Yimor had thought Zhang Menglong was facing some huge danger and couldn't imagine it was just a small fry.
A super fleet from a Level Five Civilization sent to wipe out a Level Three life form? Isn't that giving him too much face?
I mean, you're a five-star user of the Cosmic Bank, you can casually spend some pocket change to buy a Level Five spaceship and a large group of bodyguards to provide you with 24-hour comprehensive protection. Isn't that more appealing?
"Yes, that's him," Zhang Menglong said. "My friend and I were just having a good meal here, and this fool barged in with his spaceship and even threatened to capture me!"
"Is this guy out of his mind to dare move against a five-star user of the Cosmic Bank?" Yimor glanced at Bernard with a look one would give a fool, filled with deep pity.
Of course, he also wondered how such a bigwig could still have friends in a Level Two Civilization. Could there be something special about this Level Two Civilization?
However, seeing their expressions of either surprise, bewilderment, or fear, Yimor could guess they probably knew nothing about Zhang Menglong's identity.
"Mr. Zhang, how should we deal with this person? Should we eliminate him directly?" Yimor asked.
"Can we?"
"No! You can't do this!" Bernard panicked upon hearing they wanted to eliminate him.
He never imagined that Zhang Menglong, with a single call, could summon a Level Five Civilization battleship fleet!
He had thought he suddenly latched onto such a big advantage and that his life was about to peak, which made him even more flamboyant and arrogant than before.
This time, he came to capture Zhang Menglong, utterly captivated by those unique eyes of his, thinking only of the potential benefits of such a pupil skill, never considering what abilities a person with such powers might possess.
Now he understood that he had offended someone he absolutely couldn't. Even the student of his ancestors, he couldn't afford to offend!
The enormous emblem of the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire on the spaceship informed him that this fleet came from the Level Five Civilization under their jurisdiction, the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire. Even a Level Four Civilization is just a small spot in a Level Five Civilization, easily wiped out.
"Why can't I do this? You can make a move against me, but I can't kill you?" Zhang Menglong smiled, "Did you not prepare for the worst before you came?"
"What on earth is happening?" Reynor looked to his son.
He had thought it was already surprising enough that Zhang Menglong could command such respect from the Milky Way lord, but now a Level Five fleet was here, which was already beyond his knowledge scope!
"Ireel, is your friend a descendant of some big figure in the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire?" Reynor asked.
"I'm not sure either," Ireel shook his head. "Brother Zhang's identity is very mysterious. He said he comes from a primitive planet not yet part of the Universal Alliance, but last time I went to the Cosmic Bank with him, he had a star-level account!
"Star-level account?" All of his siblings were slack-jawed. Having a star-level user account was beyond just being related to a big figure from the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire; the right question was probably whether the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire belonged to him!
No wonder Zhang Menglong casually bought ten Level Two Civilizations as gifts for Ireel; for a star-level user, that was probably just pocket change?
And Ireel hadn't even mentioned that Zhang Menglong's star-level account was five-star!
"Star-level user?" The exclamations from Reynor and others also left Bernard dumbfounded. He realized why Zhang Menglong, who looked so ordinary, could summon a Level Five fleet — it was a privilege of a star-level user!
"You can't kill me!" Bernard struggled desperately, "The Cosmic Bank only has the right to protect users, not to deprive others of their lives!"
"In principle, we don't," Yimor sneered, "But if someone poses a life threat to our users, we can prioritize the user's life and take emergency measures to eliminate any potential threats."
Yimor turned to Zhang Menglong and said, "Mr. Zhang, our Cosmic Bank also provides you with reliable legal assistance, and as the highest star-level user, you can enjoy legal assistance from our bank's ace lawyers."
"Is the Cosmic Bank's ace lawyer any good?"
"Very good indeed!" Yimor said, "He has studied all the laws registered in every civilization. So far, he has handled over 20,000 litigation cases, with a success rate of 100%. Once, someone demanded 2 trillion Cosmic Coins from one of our star-level users, but with his defense, our user was directly acquitted!"
"Impressive, if it were Zhang Wei, wouldn't they be sentenced to life or even straight to death?"
"That's assuming he performs below expectations," Yimor added, "If our lawyer underperforms, the opposition might at most lose the case. If he performs normally, the opposing party and their lawyer will face sentencing, and if he exceeds expectations, even the judge of the Cosmic Court will be in trouble!"
"Is your lawyer's name Luo Xiang?"
"You've heard of him?" Yimor was surprised, "Though you might've heard some misinterpretations, our ace lawyer hails from the Fallen Blade Frost Civilization, and his full name is Luo Zhixiang!"
Zhang Menglong's face turned red as he tried hard to suppress his laughter. Isn't this just a coincidence?
"Currently, there are 1,740 former Cosmic Court judges in the Cosmic Prison, 171 of whom are there due to bribery, while the rest were sent there by Lawyer Luo!"
