Chapter 811: Change a Pair of Pants for Mr. Bernard
This is the first time in Bernard's life that he's seen such an arrogant young man. Even the Lord of the Milky Way speaks to him politely, yet this young man, oblivious to the heights of heaven, dares to tell him to get lost?
However, he wasn't angry; as the saying goes, 'ignorance is innocence'. He believed if Zhang Menglong knew his background, he might be scared stiff.
"Reynolds, it seems your son's friend doesn't know about our Sebosk Corporation's background." Bernard looked at Zhang Menglong with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"I know, isn't it just a stone seller? Having a bit of background in the Milky Way, is that impressive?"
"Isn't that impressive?" Everyone wanted to grab Zhang Menglong by the collar and ask him this.
A galaxy with hundreds of thousands of civilized planets, even the Lord has to give him face in such a galaxy, isn't that impressive enough?
But everyone knew that this young man named Zhang Menglong also had a significant background, and even the Galactic Overlord's attitude towards him was no longer about giving face, but even humbling.
But a strong dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunt — can Zhang Menglong really handle it?
Now Bernard had already brought his warship right in front of him, the cannon pointed directly at him. No matter how wealthy he is, how to solve the problem at hand?
"Mr. Bernard, I advise you not to act recklessly; Mr. Zhang's identity might not be something you can afford to offend," Reynolds stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhang bought ten civilizations, including our Izek civilization, and even the envoy sent by O'Lawrence invited Mr. Zhang to be their guest, you better think carefully!"
"Brother Zhang, you might want to ask the Lord of the Milky Way; this matter might still need him to come forward," Ireel suggested, "Bernard can act recklessly on our planet, but in front of the Lord, he wouldn't dare to act rashly, and the Lord respects you so much, it's just a matter of his words."
"Hmm," Zhang Menglong nodded and was about to contact O'Lawrence, but at that moment, Bernard sneered, "Just O'Lawrence? I'll tell you, if I want to target any civilization in the Milky Way, O'Lawrence wouldn't dare utter a word!"
This remark immediately changed all the faces present.
Bernard's background was certainly impressive, but how could he dare to speak such treasonous words against the Lord of the Milky Way in public? Isn't he afraid of being sanctioned by the Lord?
"So, Mr. O'Lawrence, did you hear that?" Zhang Menglong had already connected with O'Lawrence at some point; Bernard's words had also reached O'Lawrence's ears.
At the home planet of the Milky Way, thousands of light years away, O'Lawrence's face was very grim, barely suppressing his inner rage.
"Lord, this Bernard is too much. You have given him face in the past, which is why you have repeatedly tolerated many of Sebosk Corporation's actions, but now he dares to insult you publicly. I will personally bring him in for judgment!"
Two of O'Lawrence's confidants couldn't stand it anymore. How prestigious is the identity of the Galactic Overlord? How dare he say such things!
"Hold on!"
"Lord!?"
"The current Sebosk Corporation is no longer something our Milky Way can manage!" O'Lawrence said helplessly.
"What's going on? Their family was glorious in the past, but they are considered to be in decline now. It's still up to you in the Milky Way, right?"
"You don't know," O'Lawrence sighed, "Sibak Sebosk once served as the president of the Martial Dao Association in the Laniakea Galaxy Cluster. You know about this, right?"
"I know," his subordinate nodded, Sibak is the legendary figure of the Sebosk family, a Level Six life form, capable of stirring up winds and clouds even in a Level Five civilization, "but didn't he disappear?"
"Indeed, he disappeared, but during his tenure, he had quite a few students, some of whom were exceptional."
Of course, the universe is cold, and the lives within it don't have many emotions; with Sibak's disappearance, many of his students also lost contact with the Sebosk family.
Thousands of years have passed; some have become big figures within Level Four civilizations, while others have perished. Few still remember Sibak.
But just recently, the Sebosk family received a special guest, the ruler of a Level Four civilization at the center of another supergalactic cluster 1,200 billion light years away in the Laniakea Galaxy Cluster.
He was the most ordinary of Sibak's students, but sometimes, ordinary people are the ones with the best luck in the end.
Of course, being able to become Sibak's student was only ordinary compared to others; for the vast masses of the universe, he was still a person with extraordinary gifts.
And he, after achieving fame, came to visit his former teacher but learned that Sibak had already disappeared.
However, this person was very persistent. Following various clues, he actually found the now-declined Sebosk family in the Milky Way. Upon learning that his teacher's descendants had fallen into such a state, this significant figure felt immense regret.
That day, a Level Five civilization ship entered the Milky Way, and the Galactic Overlord O'Lawrence pretended to disappear for that day. He didn't even dare to ask what a person of such status was there for.
Later, he learned that the person was a Lord of a Level Four civilization who took away Bernard's children from the Sebosk family and promised Bernard even more extensive Zidel Ore resources as gratitude for his former teacher.
Indeed, this immediately elevated the Sebosk family's status in the Milky Way greatly, even attracting several Level Three civilization Lords to visit them personally.
Once, he had to bow his head to the Milky Way's Lords, but now, the status of the two has changed dramatically!
"Mr. Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter is beyond my capabilities," O'Lawrence said, "if you have backing from Level Four or even Level Five civilizations, contact them quickly to take the lead and settle this."
"It's over! Even the Lord can't help him now!" Reynolds's mind was blank; he had previously thought his son had latched onto a big, powerful backer, but now he realized, this time, that leg had hit a steel pillar!
"Ireel, it's all your fault!"
"You two are simply a disaster for our Izek civilization!"
"Uh, Reynolds, I have something to do, so I'll go first, let's chat next time!"
"The spaceship I booked is about to take off, I need to go prepare my things, see you in the universe."
The Lords of these Level Two civilizations all found excuses to leave, but Bernard didn't stop them. After all, his target wasn't these people from the start, and he was eager to see this spectacle of rats fleeing a sinking ship.
"You... you all!" The speed at which those people turned their backs left Ireel deeply understanding the meaning of shamelessness.
"Brother Zhang, what should we do?" Ireel understood that Zhang Menglong's background went far beyond this, but the current situation seemed unsolvable.
"No worries, go get Mr. Bernard a pair of pants."
"What?" Ireel was stunned, get a pair of pants? What did that mean? Was this some kind of code from Zhang Menglong? But they hadn't agreed on such a weird signal before!
"I'm just afraid Mr. Bernard might scare himself into wetting his pants; how embarrassing would that be!"
Zhang Menglong activated the communication interface of his Artificial Intelligence, "Have you arrived?"
"Mr. Zhang, we arrived last night, and are now ready near the Izek civilization's home planet orbit."
"Good," Zhang Menglong nodded in satisfaction, "I'm currently on the home planet of the Izek civilization, and someone wants to kill me; I'm feeling cold and scared now!"
