Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1328 Star Sea (133)

A new Glory has been born in the Empire.

Although this news has not been widely announced to all citizens, it has spread at superluminal speed throughout all the star clusters within the Empire’s territory, letting the nobility know of the existence of the Baron of Glory—Wang Chen.

Even the alliance higher-ups have obtained the relevant intelligence and have listed him as a key focus.

Because every Empire’s Glory represents a powerful force!

Wang Chen received a notice from the Imperial Family the day after returning to Holy Light Star, forcing him to change his travel plans, and then he entered the palace two days later to meet the Emperor and attend the ceremony hosted by His Majesty personally to confer his title.

A hundred years ago, the ceremony of ennobling a Glory Noble was very grand, but today’s procedures have been revised, simplified a lot.

Yet solemnity remains!

And all those summoned to the palace to observe the ceremony were of high status and authority, including elites from the top tiers of the Empire, such as the Prime Minister, Speaker of Parliament, Military Commander, etc.

This ceremony of ennoblement truly brought Wang Chen into the vision of the big figures.

In such a backdrop, the shocking news that the Wanhai Group, once extremely illustrious, was sealed off and taken over by the Empire’s three major bureaus, didn’t even cause the slightest ripple.

Including the Wan Family, who chose silence, refraining from making waves, adopting a posture as if ready to be slaughtered.

Because anyone with a bit of sense would understand that His Majesty the Emperor was taking the material embezzlement of Tampas Star as a starting point to strike at the Wan conglomerate, taking advantage of their heavy losses at the upper levels.

The will of Holy Light Emperor was extremely firm, and the timing of the strike was perfectly chosen, leaving Wan Family’s allies caught off guard, realizing only after it was set in stone.

Although the Wan conglomerate wouldn’t fall completely, Wanhai Group could still remain, but Wan Family’s centuries of accumulation would inevitably have to cede a large portion to fill the ever-draining national treasury!

A ceremony, with varied emotions.

Only the protagonist Wang Chen was indifferent to it, not even caring much about the freshly acquired title of Glory Noble.

After the ennoblement ceremony ended, Wang Chen was promptly escorted out of the palace.

This left him somewhat puzzled.

Feeling that this Emperor didn’t want to say much to him, even had a sense of wanting to get rid of a pestilence!

"Did you steal my spaceship?"

And before Wang Chen stepped out of the palace gates, he was stopped by a little girl as delicate as a jade sculpture.

The other party was around ten years old, extremely cute and pretty, dressed in a rather luxurious princess gown, with a small diamond crown on her head.

Her identity was unmistakable!

But this Princess was staring at Wang Chen with wide eyes, looking as if she might cry at any moment.

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Your Highness, I didn’t steal your things."

If he remembered correctly, this should be Princess Shiyu.

The Emperor’s beloved!

"Liar!"

The little princess huffed, "Father clearly gave you my Starlight; I haven’t even sat in it yet!"

She tried hard to accuse, with crystalline tears welling up in her eyes.

Isn’t anyone going to intervene?

Wang Chen felt a headache.

Looking around, he noticed all the Royal Guards pretending they didn’t see anything.

Wang Chen didn’t care much about a spaceship, even though this Starlight was said to be royalty-made, worth over a hundred billion Star Currency.

But unreasonably, he couldn’t just return the Starlight to this little princess.

Why should he?

"That’s simple."

Wang Chen said, "If Your Highness wants to ride, you can come find me, and I’ll let you ride for free."

The little princess was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

With her usual experience, as long as she pouted and cried, she could get what she wanted.

Never had she failed.

But now she encountered someone completely uncooperative.

She got angry, "I mean give it back to me!"

"That won’t do."

Wang Chen smiled and pulled out a lollipop, placing it in her hand, "Your Highness, I can’t give someone the Emperor’s reward. Here’s a candy instead, enjoy it."

He patted the little princess on the head and left without looking back.

The little princess froze for a moment before reacting.

And burst into tears.

But she still held tightly to the lollipop Wang Chen had given her.

This was Wang Chen’s first meeting with Princess Shiyu; he left an impression like a Great Demon in her heart!

After leaving the palace, Wang Chen went straight to the royal exclusive airport zone.

To take over the Starlight yacht that was now his.

This yacht wasn’t very big, equivalent in size to a small Escort Ship, able to accommodate 120 crew members and 50 passengers.

Though called a yacht, it was essentially just a yacht.

Its design was extremely advanced; with eight ultra-high energy ion engines, when all activated simultaneously, it became the fastest ship, unmatched by any current vessels.

Moreover, the Starlight possessed super stealth capabilities and a super power field defense system, despite not being a warship, equipped with three particle cannons — one main and two secondary.

Although the firepower of the Starlight couldn’t compare with a real Escort Ship, its speed and defense were far beyond, so it feared no enemy.

What’s most important was that the Starlight could engage automatic flight through artificial intelligence, allowing for interstellar travel without a single crew member.

After taking over the Starlight, Wang Chen spent five days familiarizing himself with the ship’s basic operations.

The interior of the Starlight was incredibly luxurious, with seven bathrooms equipped with bathtubs, and the master suite was extravagantly equipped, with all kinds of advanced facilities readily available.

Additionally, the ship’s energy and material reserves were full, only the mecha cabin was empty.

But Wang Chen was already very satisfied.

He set out solo on the third day after completing his first test flight, piloting this super yacht towards Taiwu Star.

Originally, Wang Chen planned to stay on Holy Light Star for two or three days before leaving, but was delayed by various things until now.

On this journey, he familiarized himself with the Starlight and gathered information through the Star Sea network for various situations.

Preparing for the next step of the plan.

Two days later, Wang Chen successfully reached Taiwu Star.

It must be noted, as a royal dedicated ship, the Starlight enjoyed line-skipping and exemption from inspections privileges through Star Gate, which allowed him to reach his destination so quickly.

After docking the Starlight at the Space Fortress berth, Wang Chen contacted his two girlfriends.

Having just acquired such a big toy, not showing it off to his girlfriends would be like walking in splendid clothes at night!

And this super yacht indeed gave Tang Mo and Ming Mei a big surprise.
