Chapter 813: Chapter 813: King Wei Yingrui

Shui Huilan’s face showed a hint of surprise upon hearing the words, inviting him over for a chat? Weren’t they here to capture him?

After all, he had killed the star lord of Mountain Stone Star.

Some things Shui Huilan wasn’t aware of, like how the King of Lei Meng Duchy didn’t have strong control over these star lords, which was akin to the ancient feudal lords who had considerable power. Now that Wu Tianyao was dead, it was actually beneficial for the King of Lei Meng Duchy.

Because he could use this chance to strengthen his control over Mountain Stone Star.

The soldier was afraid Qin Hao would refuse and quickly added, “Mr. Qin can bring his guards along. Our king just wants to have a talk with Mr. Qin.”

What the soldier meant to convey was that our king does not intend to kill you but genuinely wants to have a discussion.

Qin Hao pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, let’s go.”

He left a few Shadow Guards to ensure the safety of Luna, Qingtao, and others, and along with Leng Xuan and several others, boarded the Air Combat Device.

Not far from the caravan was Lei Meng Star, the capital planet of Lei Meng Duchy.

About ten minutes later, Qin Hao arrived at Leimeng City on Lei Meng Star, which served as the economic and military center of Lei Meng Duchy, bustling with activities.

Leimeng City was massive, roughly the size of dozens of Zhudao Cities, with countless buildings towering hundreds of stories high and Air Energy Cars speeding through the city.

The Air Combat Device landed on the rooftop of the tallest building in Leimeng City.

This cylindrical skyscraper, nearly three hundred stories high, housed the military and political offices of Lei Meng Duchy, with various departments located within the building.

Qin Hao and his group descended from the Air Combat Device and were promptly escorted inside the building.

They arrived at the entrance of a reception room, where several guards were stationed. They looked at Qin Hao and said, “Mr. Qin, our master is waiting for you inside.”

Qin Hao told Leng Xuan and others, “You all wait outside.”

He walked into the reception room, where a middle-aged man was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the bustling scene outside.

Upon hearing someone enter, the man turned around and looked at Qin Hao, “Hello Mr. Qin, please take a seat. I am Wei Yingrui, the king of Lei Meng Duchy.”

Having said that, he extended his hand and shook hands with Qin Hao. Qin Hao smiled slightly, “Hello Prince Wei, I am Qin Ritian from Tanglong Empire.”

Wei Yingrui’s eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this, “Mr. Qin, please sit down.”

The two sat across from each other, with Wei Yingrui smiling kindly while maintaining a dignified demeanor, “Mr. Qin, killing the star lord of my Lei Meng Duchy has put me in a difficult position.”

Qin Hao calmly replied, “Prince Wei can handle it as he sees fit.”

Wei Yingrui smiled and said, “I have already investigated the matter thoroughly. It isn’t Mr. Qin’s fault, so I will handle it fairly.”

Qin Hao: “Prince Wei must have something else in mind for inviting me here.”

Wei Yingrui nodded, “I’ve visited Tanglong Empire once. Mr. Qin, are you a member of the Qin Family?”

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, “Prince Wei seems to know quite a lot. Yes, I am indeed from the Qin Family!”

Wei Yingrui was taken aback, realizing that he was actually from the Qin Family. Tanglong Empire had several major superfamilies: Emperor the Li Family, followed by the Qin Family, the Cheng Family, among other distinguished founding aristocrats.

Wei Yingrui softened his tone a bit, “Mr. Qin, your subordinates use advanced mecha units?”

“That’s correct, Prince Wei has quite the eye,” Qin Hao replied indifferently.

Wei Yingrui laughed awkwardly, “Mr. Qin, I wonder if your Qin Family sells these mecha units? I’d like to buy some.”

Qin Hao pondered for a few seconds upon hearing this, then replied, “I cannot make decisions on advanced mecha units and would need to inquire. However, I can make decisions on lower-grade mecha units.”

“How much for lower-grade mecha units? Does Mr. Qin have other items for sale besides mecha units?”

Qin Hao looked at him and asked, “What does Prince Wei want to buy? We sell weapons, but for some high-level weapons, I would need to ask.”

“I need interstellar warships, air combat devices, and combat robots,” Wei Yingrui replied.

Although Lei Meng Duchy could produce these items, their technology lagged behind that of the eight major empires, hence their performance was inferior.

Qin Hao: “I’m well aware of your country’s weapons performance. How about I send over the test videos for these weapons in the next few days, and if Prince Wei is interested, you can place an order then.”

Wei Yingrui nodded, “How much for the lower-grade mecha units?”

Qin Hao: “The price for lower-grade mecha units is ten billion star coins each. You know how difficult they are to obtain.”

Currently, there are practically no channels for purchasing mecha units in the interstellar marketplace, making Qin Hao’s offer unique.

Wei Yingrui had no intention of haggling, as he knew how difficult it was to obtain these. “Alright, I’ll take a hundred of them. Is that possible?”

Qin Hao smiled, “Of course, Prince Wei. How could I refuse when you are giving me money? From now on, we’re all friends.”

Wei Yingrui burst into laughter at Qin Hao’s straightforwardness, “That’s right, from now on, we’re friends.”

Qin Hao: “Prince Wei, I have some industries in the Southern Wilderness Star System. Currently, passing through the endless asteroid pathway incurs fees. The fees are not a problem, but it delays time. Time is money.”

Wei Yingrui instantly understood, “That’s easy to solve. I’ll issue an exemption certificate for Mr. Qin. They will pass you through directly without fees.”

In his view, this was not a big deal, as the fees were trivial and inconsequential.

Qin Hao stood up and said, “If Prince Wei has nothing else, I will take my leave. I need to head to Nolan Empire for some business.”

“Mr. Qin, why don’t you stay for a meal? We really hit it off,” Wei Yingrui genuinely wanted to get along well with Qin Hao to acquire more advanced weapons in the future.

Qin Hao smiled, “No need, the caravan people are still waiting for me.”

Wei Yingrui didn’t insist, “Then, Mr. Qin, be sure to drop by for a drink when you pass through here next time.”

“Certainly, Prince Wei,” Qin Hao smiled slightly.

Leaving from there, he was escorted back to the caravan, which then resumed its journey.

Back on the ship, Shui Huilan quickly asked, “Xiaotian, are you alright? What did Wei Yingrui want with you?”

“Nothing much, just discussing business, he wants to buy mecha units,” Qin Hao’s face showed a hint of cold smile.

My mecha units are not that easy to purchase. Since you came to me, don’t blame me, Qin Hao, for being ruthless.

Qin Hao will certainly leave a backdoor program in the mecha units Wei Yingrui purchases to manipulate them for rebellion later!

If he wants to buy warships, air combat devices, and combat robots, Qin Hao will also ensure he retains control over them, making it easier to dominate Lei Meng Duchy.
