Chapter 518: 517, Prime Minister Gordon heads to Skru Star_1
The helicopter of “Air Force Two” landed at a helipad within a base on the mountain top.
Prime Minister Gordon, taking unsteady steps, somewhat shakily descended from the helicopter.
He was 78 years old this year. Traveling at an advanced age was indeed a significant strain for him.
But he had no choice.
For the sake of his family, he had to do it.
At the helipad, Jennifer and Monck had arrived to greet him.
Monck looked a bit upset.
He had been wheedling Jennifer for two hours earlier, and she had ignored him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Jennifer’s face, however, didn’t show much expression. All she thought about in her mind was to fulfill her mission and bring Prime Minister Gordon back to the Skru Star.
Upon seeing Gordon disembarking from the plane, Jennifer walked toward him with the Blue Star language translator on, stretching out her hand and saying, “Human, I am Deputy Commander Jennifer of the expeditionary force, pleased to meet you.”
Monck also switched on his translator, and spoke indifferently, “I am Monck, the commander-in-chief of this base. We’ve met.”
When Gordon saw the two in front of him, he was overjoyed.
In the past, when he visited the Giant Skru Base, the person who received him was often Monck’s adjutant. Only during the last visit did he have the honor of meeting Monck in person.
He never expected that this time, Monck would personally greet him on the helipad, and even brought with him an even more high-profile official!
This fully demonstrated the respect the Skru people had for him!
However, the smile on Gordon’s face quickly froze.
Through the translator, the language spoken by Jennifer and Monck was none other than Chinese! He couldn’t understand it!
His grasp of Chinese was terrible, which was quite a difficulty, making the difficult right to the extreme.
“Could…we…can use…English?” he stated awkwardly in Chinese mixed with an English accent.
Both Jennifer and Monck were a bit stunned upon hearing the translated words. “Can-ya-sis”? Was it some kind of special dish?
However, the voice translator could only translate Chinese, and the English module was not yet available at present.
Both parties attempted at some non-verbal communication after which no one could make sense of anyone else’s intent.
In the end, Monck found a female officer in the base who spoke some English, which only just about solved the translation problem.
…
The translation issue was sorted out ten minutes later.
Prime Minister Gordon was of advanced age, and the wind on top of the mountain was a bit strong. He was swaying on the helipad as if he could fall at any moment.
Jennifer peered at him, a trace of disdain in her eyes.
Could it be that Blue Star would elect such an old and frail person as Prime Minister? What were the Blue Star people thinking?
But she didn’t let her disdain show too prominently.
She said to Prime Minister Gordon, “I came to Blue Star this time to invite you to visit the Skru Star. Our expeditionary forces’ Commander-in-Chief Langqi wants to see you. The whole process will take only an hour or two. I wonder if you could spare the time for me?”
Jennifer’s words were translated precisely and conveyed to Gordon without any misunderstanding.
Gordon was delighted.
The invitation to the Skru Star confirmed that the Skru people had fully recognized him! This was certainly good news!
But…
Gordon hesitated again.
He knew that the Skru people were skilled in mind manipulation. Would he become a puppet for the Skru people during this trip to the Skru Star? If so, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Jennifer was a Spiritual Mind Power Master and immediately saw through the thoughts in Gordon’s mind.
She smiled, “Don’t worry, I promise as the Deputy Commander of the expeditionary force, I will absolutely not subject you to mind control. Moreover, after completing our cooperation this time, we will always regard you as our ally and offer you the status and treatment of an ally!”
As she was speaking, Jennifer also employed her ability of “mental suggestion”.
As a sixth-level strength skilled individual, she only needed to use her ability just slightly, and Gordon, an ordinary person, believed her unquestioningly.
“Alright, I am willing to accompany you to the Skru Star!” Gordon laughed heartily.
…
Afterward, Jennifer took Gordon and their translator onto her private spaceship, returning to the Raging Sun Imperial City through the Space Cracks.
This was the first time Prime Minister Gordon had been on a spaceship, which was an entirely novel experience for him as he curiously stared out the window.
After passing through the Space Cracks, the view of the Raging Sun Imperial City below could be seen clearly.
From Gordon’s perspective, all he could perceive was a tremendous shock!
The Raging Sun Imperial City was filled with hundreds or even thousands of meters high buildings stretching as far as the eye could see; man-made Floating Islands in mid-air glistened under the blazing sun…
It felt like he had entered a science fiction world!
Of course, he had also seen videos of Su Yu’s “tourism” on the Skru Star multiple times.
However, the visuals from the videos were entirely unlike the actual experience of being in this world.
It was as if one was watching a science fiction movie and then stepping into the world of the movie. One would undoubtedly be stunned speechless.
Now, upon seeing the Raging Sun City, which encapsulated the essence of Skru civilization just below him, Gordon suddenly felt waves of dizziness washing over him.
It wasn’t that the Skru people had done something to him, but because he was really too old, and the excessive shock was hard for him to bear.
Jennifer glanced at him and slightly pursed her lips.
She had initially planned to give Gordon a tour of the grandeur of Raging Sun City, planning to circle around the city a few times before taking Gordon to see Commander Langqi at the headquarters.
Who would have imagined that this frail human before her would become unstable just from a bit of shock? She wouldn’t know whom to approach if he were to “crash” midway through the tour?
Helplessly, she abandoned her original plan and took Gordon directly to the expeditionary army headquarters to see Langqi.
…
In the office of Commander-in-Chief Langqi of the headquarters, Langqi had been waiting for a while.
He ordered his AI assistant to freshly squeeze a cup of Leko Bug juice, which he was leisurely drinking.
Jennifer knocked lightly on the door and walked into the office with Gordon and the translator, “Commander-in-Chief, I’ve brought Pacific Ocean nation’s Prime Minister Gordon.”
“Good, you’ve worked hard,” Langqi nodded, focusing his attention on Gordon.
Gordon was already exhausted from the journey and was now seated on a dog-shaped transportation robot.
Upon seeing Langqi, he struggled to rise from the robot.
However, Langqi gestured him to not stand up, “There’s no need to stand. We can understand your circumstances. Let’s talk like this.”
First, he introduced himself, “My name is Langqi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Skru Star expeditionary army, and I wanted to meet you.”
Ropes of veins throbbed on Gordon’s temples with excitement.
Listening to the interpreter’s narrative, he understood the true identity of the man in front of him.
Being able to meet such an important figure, Gordon could already feel the Skru people’s respect for him!
“Commander-in-Chief, how do you do.” Gordon put his hand on his chest and bowed, “I am Gordon, Prime Minister of the American-Pacific Nation of Blue Star. I’m truly honored to meet you!”
