Sky-cracking Rider

"Adam, send a message to Mr. Randon, have him arrange for someone to extract those asset details, then find a way to liquidate them. Time is not a constraint."

Chen Fei wasn't particularly interested in this trillion Star Yuan; what he wanted were combat resources, not cash.

And besides, money alone can't buy those continuously supplied munitions and high-end module equipment.

However, if he could use this trillion Star Yuan to gain favor with the Dragon Clan, perhaps it might lead to future assistance, not just from the Dragon Clan but also from the Slan Dynasty.

No matter how dire the financial situation of Sky Dragon City is, the Slan Dynasty will always back it up, and it will never truly go bankrupt.

Adam: Yilan sent a message that it can't reach your communication number.

"Got it!"

Chen Fei picked up the landline phone again and started dialing.

The phone in this dormitory of the Heavy Criminal Prison seems to only dial out, while outside calls can't come in.

After a short connection tone, the voice of the female Metallic Dragon Yilan came through, complaining, "Your communication number is hard to reach, I've already called several times!"

"Sorry, it's due to special circumstances. I've been detained and am in a communication restricted state."

Chen Fei could only admit it was an issue from his side.

"Do you need me to rescue you? I can shake the dragons, shake up... about 75 dragons, all of them juveniles!"

Yilan's commanding presence was palpable through the receiver, truly imposing.

"Uh, no need. If you bring the dragons over, it would be tantamount to the Dragon Clan declaring war on Blue Star!"

Chen Fei hurriedly refused, he believed Yilan could really pull off such a thing.

Habulav is the headquarters of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, representing the unified will of Blue Star's many sovereignties, and attacking here is indeed akin to a declaration of war.

Currently, although Blue Star Civilization and Cangqiong Star Civilization are in a minor controlled conflict over the Dimensional Gate assault, it's far from reaching a full-scale breakdown.

"Alright! But actually, declaring war is not a big deal."

Yilan spoke with the typical manner of a Metallic Dragon, as war and slaughter are everyday matters for them, nothing to fret over.

"Is there any message from Sky Dragon City you need to convey?"

Chen Fei hadn't forgotten to ask about the matter he tasked Yilan with yesterday.

"There are two messages. The first is that the Dragon King wants you to immediately transfer a trillion Star Yuan into its account. The second comes from the elders, asking you to transfer the trillion Star Yuan to the Slan Royal Family, and to temporarily refrain from sending it to Sky Dragon City, including the Dragon King. You can choose either one, both are fine."

Yilan contacted Chen Fei to convey these two messages.

Chen Fei laughed and said, "Of course, the second option. The Dragon King has fallen into a gambler's mindset, its account is a black hole. Even ten trillion wouldn't be enough to fill it."

Although the Dragon Clan has a capriciously reckless Dragon King, intelligences like the clan leaders of various dragon kinds can serve as elders to restrain a rogue Dragon King when necessary.

"I thought so too. After listening to you yesterday, I went and flipped through 'Das Kapital.' It's a good book. You majored in economics, right?"

Yilan discovered a "new world" in Chen Fei's words from yesterday.

"That's right! All roads lead to Rome, and many principles are universal, such as using economic principles to analyze politics and military affairs..."

When it comes to his field, Chen Fei became talkative, while Yilan, eager to learn, seemed to listen to a grand lecture, nodding continuously and naturally falling into a learning state, realizing that listening to him for a moment was better than reading ten years of books.

But it was torturous for the non-economics specialist monitors, overwhelmed by one economic term and case after another, feeling dizzy and seeing stars. Each word was recognizable, but together, they became incomprehensible! And those economic models with various mathematical formulas and theories pounded like a hammer on their brains. They dared not miss a word in this ordeal, fearing they'll miss something important, even if it was life-draining.

The phone lesson lasted for over two hours, and Chen Fei, only realizing the time, wrapped up hastily.

It was refreshing to have someone, no, a dragon intently listening; it was enjoyable.

"You're amazing! It's like discovering a new world. I've noted down the books you recommended, and I'll look them up. If I don't understand, can I still ask you?"

After a two-hour crash course in economics, Yilan developed a deep interest in the subject, discovering interesting insights by viewing a problem from different perspectives.

"Of course, no problem. We'll make progress together. If there's time and opportunity, I can introduce my university professor to you. He's much more skilled than I am. Uh, never mind, his heart's not great, you'd better chat online!"

Imagining the university professor's health condition, Chen Fei immediately dismissed the risky idea of bringing in the professor in person to avoid risking his life.

"That would be great."

Yilan wasn't concerned, knowing not everyone is willing to communicate freely with Metallic Dragons like Chen Fei without fear, as most tremble in fear.

"Find those books from the list first, go through them, and if there are things you don't understand, come back and ask me!"

Chen Fei exchanged a few more words with Yilan before ending the call with lingering satisfaction.

Being a teacher gave him a clear and refreshed spirit.

The monitoring team, having persisted for over two hours, was collectively exhausted and decrepit, clearly showing they lacked any talent in economics and were, frankly, failures in that regard.

After the conversation with Yilan, the blonde girl Nicole hadn't reappeared. Naturally, there was no "interrogation" either; no one came to take Chen Fei to Room 43 for questioning. He stayed in his dormitory the entire day.

Fortunately, he could still order food, and the room had snacks and fruits, never leaving him hungry. With a washing machine and dryer available, there would be no issues even if he stayed for ten days or so.

After 25 hours, Chen Fei took out some materials from the "Spatial Branding," using his Psi Skills and AI "Adam's" temporary design, crafted an electronic device approximately one foot in length, width, and height, and placed it on the dormitory desk.

Even being isolated from the outside world, Chen Fei still had some methods to observe the information he wanted.

33 hours after Nicole von Sasha left, the electronic device on the desk reacted, and the AR interface in front of Chen Fei's eyes received data first-hand.

Level 2 vibration, at 3 o'clock direction, located in zone A of Habulav.

Chen Fei blinked and activated the "Basic Optical Observer's" macroscopic perspective. His view shifted from the underground dormitory of the Heavy Criminal Prison to the sky above, allowing a bird's-eye view of the entire Habulav City.

In the world of social dealings, who wouldn't have a few secret trump cards?

The Blue Star Global United Defense Committee detaining him in the Heavy Criminal Prison was of little consequence, communication channels weren't entirely cut off, and his vision remained wide, with few differences other than his own physical confinement.

In zone A of Habulav, a certain building was billowing black smoke and fire, as if a battle was occurring, with light beams moving back and forth.
