Chapter 1792: If there is a next life
After making an application, Hua Ya Lanlan was able to see the outside of the prison where she was being held in solitary confinement, guarded by a team of royal guards.
When Hana Ya Lanlan enters this room, she has to go through a scanning device to ensure that she does not have any dangerous items on her.
Only then was it possible to enter.
I stepped into the empty room.
Hanae Misaki was wearing a plain, loose-fitting outfit with no pockets or anything to hide anything.
She just sat there.
Compared to the others, Hanae Miho is undoubtedly the one with the most serious crimes among them.
In these processes, she mostly acted as a go-between.
Therefore, she possessed evidence of the crimes committed by almost all the individuals involved in the case.
She is a living repository of evidence.
This is why she receives such a high level of care.
"You've come." Hanae Misaki looked up at Hanae Ranran, who had appeared before her.
It was as if she had known all along that Huaya Lanlan would appear.
"Why do you do this?" Hana-ya Lanlan asked.
"Why?
"Does the reason matter?" Hanae Miho said nonchalantly.
Do you know how serious your crime is?
You still act like you don't care!
"Do you know how much trouble you're going to cause our Flower Fairy Federation tribe by doing this?" Flower Sprout Lanlan angrily rebuked Flower Sprout Meixiu.
Hanae Misaki shrugged, looking nonchalant: "I did all of these things."
I've already pleaded guilty, so I don't care how I'm tried or sentenced.
"You!" Hanaya Ranran was furious. She hadn't expected Hanaya Misaki to have such an attitude.
When Hana Ranran saw Hana Misaki's indifferent expression across from her, her anger seemed to dissipate instantly.
She also sat on the ground, staring at Hanaya Misaki across from her.
I've been watching it for a long time.
Hana Misaki herself wasn't used to it. She looked at Hana Ranran across from her and said, "Hey, why are you staring at me like that?"
You've been staying here with me all this time. Aren't you worried that they'll suspect you have some kind of connection with me?
"At that point, your Bailan Interstellar Trading Group will be in grave danger."
"I just want to know why!"
Aunt Meixiu, you were a truly remarkable person back then.
The interstellar trading group you created ranks among the top ten in the Fairy Federation tribes, and you even keep saying that.
Your goal is to build an interstellar trading group that ranks among the top three.
You even encouraged me back then, lending me money despite the risks when my interstellar trading group was short of working capital.
What you taught me most back then was that being an interstellar trader requires knowing where the boundaries lie.
Those things are worth touching, those risks are worth taking.
And those are the forbidden zones for us interstellar traders, which we must never touch under any circumstances.
You taught me all of this.
Over the years, I have always followed your instructions.
But why, why did you become the very thing you used to hate the most!
Why? Why? Why! Why!
All of this is because of you, Hanaya Lanlan!
It's all because they shattered my dreams.
You trampled me under your feet.
It's you!
"You've turned me into this!" Hanae Misaki glared at her, her eyes wide with anger, in a way that Hanae Ranran had never seen before.
This startled even the flower bud orchid.
Because she was certain that she saw hatred, even murderous intent, in Hanaya Miho's eyes.
If Hanae Miho were given a chance, she might actually kill herself!
"Because of me?" Hua Ya Lanlan found it somewhat unbelievable.
In her opinion, her relationship with Hanae Miho had always been good.
We have been cooperating for many years.
Why are these reasons my own?
Why would she hate herself?
All of this was completely incomprehensible to Huaya Lanlan.
"As you said, my dream used to be to become the best interstellar trader in the Fairy Flower Federation tribe and to build the largest interstellar trading group."
But what about now?
Under the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group that you have established, our other interstellar trade groups will either accept your investment and make you a shareholder.
They can only pick up scraps left over from the White Orchid Interstellar Trade Group.
The current market share of this universe cluster.
Do you know how much your Bailan Interstellar Trading Group controls?
35%!
Your Bailan Interstellar Trade Group alone directly controls 35% of the market share.
Then, the interstellar trade groups established by the Dragon Star Empire controlled another 35%.
And through investment and other means, you two indirectly control 15%.
In addition, some local interstellar trade markets are only allowed to be managed by a limited number of local interstellar traders.
How much of the market is left?
I'm afraid you, the president of the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group, are unaware of this.
Less than 10%!
This means that we interstellar traders, who refuse to associate with you, will have to scramble for the remaining 10% of scraps.
How much is left of what we've already received?
Hanae Miho laughed hysterically: "My dream?"
What dreams can I talk about now?
Before I partnered with Chu Pinchuan and his team, my group was already in debt, with a debt ratio exceeding 300%.
It could explode at any time.
If I didn't rely on these shady methods, my company would have gone bankrupt and closed down long ago.
"Why didn't you tell me about all this...?" Hua Ya Lanlan was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected there to be so much more to it.
What did I say to you?
Let me tell you, my group is losing money, we have no orders, and no business.
Please, Mr. Bai Lan, give me a little something.
Haha, I, Hanaya Misaki, never accept handouts.
Everything I want is something I fought for and fought for.
Unlike you sisters, I am not so lucky to have received the support of Emperor Xiaolong and have such a powerful backer.
Soaring straight up ninety thousand miles!
Luck... Hehehe... I know that luck is a crucial factor in the success of us interstellar traders.
But you, Hana Ranran, defeated me entirely by luck! I, Hana Mishou, am not convinced!
If we were to have a serious contest between the two sides.
Even if you two, Huaya Lanlan and Huaya Nini, were combined, you wouldn't be a match for me!
"I'm sorry," Hana-ya Ranran suddenly said.
This sudden remark left Hanae Miho stunned.
She stared blankly at the flower buds.
"I didn't know it would turn out this way."
I bear responsibility for this, if I had discovered it sooner.
Perhaps none of this would have happened then.” Hanaya Ranran looked at Hanaya Misaki sincerely.
Hanaya Miho chuckled: "Apologize?"
sorry?
Hey, hey, hey, you're an adult, aren't you?
Stop with these sickeningly sweet things. We're not three-year-olds anymore.
Instead of saying that, you should go and plead with those tyrannical emperors.
"Make him spare my life?"
Hanae Miho said her last words with a sarcastic tone.
"What you did was too serious, and it involved too many people."
For this case.
Chu Pinchuan, Mami, Rod, and Prince Brauro have all been arrested.
Do you know the relationships between these people?
They will all die, but you cannot live.
Not only will the Emperor of the Dragon Clan not let you live, but those connected to you will not allow you to live either.
Hanae Miho smiled dismissively; she had known about this situation for a long time.
"However, I will take over your company. As long as they are not involved in this matter, I will guarantee their safety and ensure that they will not be retaliated against," Hua Ya Lanlan said sincerely.
Hanae Miho didn't say anything when she heard this.
Because she wasn't a heartless person, she knew that this incident would cause the most trouble for her subordinates.
Even the safety of one's life.
Therefore, the guarantee provided by Huaya Lanlan can save many lives.
Hanae Miho lowered her head and remained silent.
Hua Ya Lanlan got up, preparing to leave.
At this moment, Hanae Miho spoke up.
"Hua Ya Lan Lan, please."
If there is a next life, please don't let us live in the same era.
I just want to make a name for myself through my own abilities.
Hua Ya Lanlan stiffened, then walked out of the room.
Hanaya Ranran was unaware that the source of Hanaya Miho's situation actually lay within herself.
The moment she stepped out of the room, she felt as if she could no longer breathe; everything around her seemed to spin.
She instinctively wanted to grab the wall next to her, but what she saw as the wall right next to her was actually several meters away.
Her body slumped to the side.
Fortunately, the Imperial Guards outside the door rushed forward to help him up.
"Your Excellency, are you alright?"
"Arrange medical staff immediately."
Huaya Lanlan was rushed to the medical department.
After all, she is the president of the Bailan Interstellar Trade Group, and an extremely important figure to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
We absolutely cannot let anything happen to her here.
It wasn't just Orchid buds who saw the suspect.
Other relevant personnel were also given the opportunity to meet the criminals involved in the case now.
Secretary Lilith stared coldly at Secretary Mami across from her.
The succubus Mami was in tears at this moment, and it was clear that she was really scared and regretful.
"Why do you want to do this?" Lilith's secretary asked.
"I...I can't control myself," the succubus Mami cried.
"Is this your reason?" Secretary Lilith said coldly.
The succubus Mami raised her head and looked at Secretary Lilith: "Sister Lilith."
You know what kind of life we led before we followed His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong.
To hide our identities, we disguised ourselves as rats living in the sewers.
They teetered on the brink of hunger and death every day.
From the day I was born until I was brought to the JF-17 fleet by you, I have never had a full meal.
Even back then, I hated my mother. Why did she give birth to me?
You brought me into this painful world.
In order to get food, I dressed up as a little monster and fought for food on the ground with other people and even non-human creatures.
Even the first thing they do after grabbing food is not run away, but stuff it into their mouths.
Then you have to make sure you don't throw up, because those people will pry open your mouth and even hit your stomach to make you vomit the food.
Most importantly, you must be careful not to become someone else's food.
At that time, I had nothing.
The tattered cloth I wear is my only treasure.
Later, I joined the Dragon Legion fleet, and I went from the brink of death to this affluent life.
No more fighting with others for food, no more wandering between death, hunger, cold, and fear.
I thought I could live like this forever.
But later, amidst this abundant life, I found myself even more restless and unable to eat or sleep.
Because I am afraid, I am scared, I am worried that one day I will lose everything I have now.
So... that's why I started working hard within the JF-17 fleet, trying to climb higher and higher.
Having more power makes me feel more at ease.
However, due to the aftereffects of the war, I was no longer able to serve in the fleet group.
I stepped down to the second line.
Then I started to feel fear again, because I had lost real power and no longer had the authority to mobilize starships.
During that period, I was restless and couldn't eat or sleep well; I didn't get a single good night's sleep.
In my dreams, I returned to that nightmare-like childhood.
Then one day, a business partner gave me a card after a banquet.
That card contains my salary for a year.
That night, I slept very soundly.
At that time, I discovered another channel that could put my mind at ease.
Now that I have lost the power of the army, I have more wealth.
However, back then I only dared to steal a little bit on my own, such as transferring idle funds from my account to a current account to earn interest for a few days.
Or some people ask me for help, and I charge them some money.
Whether or not those things can be accomplished is not important.
All you need to do is show that you're trying your best.
After all, I never promised them I would definitely get this done.
Secretary Lilith listened to this, and learned that the Royal Bodyguards had also investigated this record.
These are all small amounts of money, and some can even be overlooked; they are not considered serious crimes.
"Later, I met Hana Miho, and that's how things got to be."
You know all of this.
The first commission I ever received was the sum of all my previous salaries!
At that moment, I was completely captivated.
I'm obsessed with watching the money in my account soar.
I like to turn those funds into collectibles, gemstones, pearls, or high-density crystals.
There is a basement below my villa specifically for storing these things.
When I'm resting at the villa, I sleep in this basement.
Sleeping amidst that wealth, I would sleep incredibly comfortably and peacefully.
That feeling was just so wonderful.
As she spoke of these things, the succubus Mami wore an almost obsessive expression.
It's clear that her childhood experiences have caused her some psychological trauma.
And afterwards, she kept using those methods to heal her psychological trauma!
