Hathaway walked into the lounge and suddenly lost all her strength and collapsed on the sofa.
She hugged the pillow and panted for a while before regaining some strength. Just standing in front of Austin for a while, she inexplicably exhausted all her strength, which was even more strenuous than a big fight. And the final blow to drive away fear and increase momentum was even more terrifying.
After Hathaway recovered a little, she opened the communication channel, and Serena appeared in front of her a moment later.
Hathaway was lying on the back of the sofa, thinking about something. It wasn't until Serena called her several times that she came back to her senses and said hello lazily.
"You're back?"
"Yes. Now that I have some time, please help me deal with some Lightyear stocks. It's best to sell them to you. The amount..."
Hathaway hesitated and said, "Let's start with 5 billion, maybe even more."
Serena was taken aback and said, "Of course I am willing, but what happened to you over there? Why do you suddenly need so much money?"
"There are just some ideas that need money."
Serena stared at her, her bright eyes showing that she didn't believe what Hathaway said at all. Hathaway grabbed a cushion and lay on it, resting her chin on the back of her hand. She just looked at Serena, but her eyes drifted to other places. After a while, she said: "I saw him inside..."
Serena said: "That's a good thing! How about it, is it fun? If it weren't for my lack of strength, I would have wanted to come in and give it a try."
Hathaway just lay there, and after a while he said: "It's very dangerous inside, and I was lucky enough to meet him. It's easy for a person to die alone. Even if he dies inside, he won't really die, but he will die more or less." There will be damage.”
Serena observed her expression and suddenly asked: "Did you... have a quarrel?"
"No." Hathaway sighed. She had the kind of temperament to do whatever she wanted, and felt that there was nothing to hide in front of Serena, so she said: "Actually, he and I... have made progress. But I don't care about what happened in that place." I don’t know if it’s true or not. And... I feel like I stole someone else’s stuff.”
"Stealing other people's things? He has a girlfriend? It doesn't look like it!"
"Do you still remember the incident of the dynasty's marriage robbery?"
"It makes a little impression."
"I met the person who escaped from marriage back then. Her name is Lin Xi."
Serena was shocked. She sat up straight and quickly entered a fighting state. Within a few seconds, she searched out and read what happened that year. Human beings now have footprints across the universe that are thousands of light years away, and countless major events happen every moment. That event back then has long been forgotten by people, and there is no trace of it anymore.
After seeing it, Selena's eyes were shining, she was gearing up, as if facing a formidable enemy, and said: "This woman is not easy to deal with! I think I'd better come in, let's work together! Look at me, I've made a lot of progress recently!"
Hathaway said angrily: "You can't beat her with three more, so save it!"
"This is not about fighting. I can help you come up with ideas, distract him, and contain your opponent! There are so many things I can do!"
The little princess didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Please don't cause trouble. It's really very dangerous inside. How can I explain to my uncle and aunt if something happens to you?"
Serena waited for a while, but when she saw that she didn't agree, she had no choice but to give it up and talk about the business: "Cousin, why do you want to spend so much money this time? Did something happen that made it inconvenient for the Winton family to come forward? ?I don’t have that much myself, so I need to apply for a family fund. How about applying for more?”
Hathaway sighed, briefly explained the cause and effect, and finally said: "Although he didn't say it at the time, I knew he must have chosen the Lin family. At this time... this time... how should I put it, I need to let him do it. He will feel comfortable if I do something reciprocal. Otherwise, he will feel that he owes me for this matter and will unconsciously lean towards me, which is unfair to Lin Xi."
Serena jumped up and shouted: "Unfair!? You are already like that, what else is unfair!"
Hathaway smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Serena thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Yes, they have known each other for such a long time. So, you are..." She suddenly woke up and covered her mouth.
Hathaway said calmly: "I took the initiative."
Serena sighed and said, "What do you need me to do?"
"Help me prepare 5 billion, and then turn it into an order for Light Years. This is the reward I have to pay him for bringing people from the Federation."
Serena was confused again, "Aren't there any rewards from the Federation?"
"I refused to disclose the location of Chu Jungui's camp, so the reward was cancelled. But I promised to give him half of the benefits, which is 5 billion."
Serena held her forehead and said helplessly: "Cousin, what are you thinking about? Your reward has been deducted, and now you have to spend your own money to give it to him?"
Hathaway said: "I don't want him to be in trouble, so I have to make a clear distinction and distance myself. One day in the future, when he thinks clearly, he will naturally make his own decision."
"This has to wait until the future?!"
Hathaway sighed softly, whether it was with admiration or annoyance, and said: "Waiting is also very interesting, isn't it? Take your time, I am very patient."
"You...oh!" Serena also sighed, not knowing what to say.
After discussing the details of the transaction for a while, the time was almost up. A colonel took Hathaway to another room, where an old man was already sitting. He had obviously reached the end of his natural lifespan, and the wrinkles on his face were like Gully. But at this moment, his face glowed with a sickly red light, and he was as energetic as a young man.
When he saw Hathaway, he stood up, stretched out his hand covered with age spots, held Hathaway's, and said, "I'm very happy to have this opportunity. Austin told me that there might be new opportunities in a few days." , but the probability is not as high as this time. So please do it this time."
"I'll try."
"Austin said there will be no error in the landing location and there will be no danger, so I will wait for you to pick me up."
Hathaway nodded and left with the colonel, returning to the real dream.
In the real dream, Chu Jungui accompanied Xu Hua to visit inside and outside the camp. He had no intention of hiding anything, and Xu Hua was allowed to visit all places. Xu Hua was full of praises while watching, his eyes were shining, and he didn't miss any detail.
However, when he came to the console of the manufacturing machine, he was a little confused and wiped it on the console, leaving a clear fingerprint immediately. Xu Hua frowned, rubbed a little dirt on his fingers, flicked it to the ground quietly, and went to look at the next piece of equipment.
After he left, the dirt on the ground suddenly turned into a swarm of small insects, quickly crawled back to the console, perfectly covered the fingerprints, and returned to its original appearance of being covered in dirt.
