Chapter 638: Chapter 632: You Are Impressive
The transportation fee alone is 5000 star credits, what kind of materials is this costume made of? The problem is that the materials used for this costume are pretty common… They aren’t afraid of counterfeiters since the composition of the fabric can be easily detected by a simple scan.
After a moment of shock, everyone instinctively clicked on the commission, but it was quickly snatched up by none other than the renowned Bloody Lion Mercenary Group, which ranks among the top ten in the Mercenary Association.
They not only have their private spaceship but also their personal fleet, even their private domain. Of course, there is more to the Bloody Lion Mercenary Group; it’s rumored to be backed by a noble family. This is because the lion in their emblem bears many resemblances to the family’s crest.
Regardless, what’s important is, “Bro, are you kidding? The Bloody Lion Mercenary Group taking a small assignment like this? Leave some of these tasks for us lesser mercenary groups to get a slice of the pie!” Countless small mercenary groups nearly burst into tears. 5000 star credits may not seem much, but look at the cost-effectiveness of the task.
This task doesn’t require substantial fighting capabilities. Yes, the Death Nest may be chaotic, but for these mercenaries, it’s not a deadly trap. Everywhere, there is some kind of order, and mercenaries are basically people who dwell on the fringes of this order.
Being there will not be uncomfortable, and though the Death Nest is far, one can easily make it as long as they have a decent spaceship. A spaceship by the price of over 10,000 star credits can reach there within the designated time. This one task is worth half of a spaceship!
But now, an assignment like this has been taken outright by a big mercenary group like the Bloody Lion. “Haha, you got it wrong. The return on this task is high. No matter how big our mercenary group is, even a mosquito is still meat.” These mercenary groups have dedicated spies in the Mercenary Association who have only one mission: to assess the strength of their mercenary group and the number of personnel they can deploy, and ultimately to accept tasks that are cost-effective.
An employer can issue tasks from the web to the Mercenary Association, but the mercenaries’ access to tasks is limited. If they do not reach a certain level, they cannot accept tasks from the web. Even if they reach a certain grade or scale, they still can’t accept tasks from the web.
Therefore, every day, many mercenaries linger at the headquarters of the Mercenary Association. This time, it’s no doubt that the Bloody Lion Mercenary Group got the upper hand since this task is too easy.
These are not things that Finn Lewis needs to worry about, but a day before the auction, Lewis receives a strange communication request. Lewis only knows a limited number of people here, so after hesitation, he accepts the call.
When the call gets connected, the opposite end’s image is unmistakably the interior of a spaceship. Appearing in Finn’s view is a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty, but his real age won’t possibly be around that. He has a couple of scars on his face and fiery red short hair on his head.
His facial features lean towards Western. Seeing Finn, this man asks immediately in a serious tone: “May I ask if this is Mr. Finn Lewis?”
“It’s me.” Finn nodded.
“Good evening, Mr. Lewis. I’m Tobia, the leader of the Fifth Division of the Bloody Lion Mercenary Group. I’m in charge of transporting your goods.” The ferocious-looking middle-aged man stated with a serious tone.
“My goods?” Finn was startled.
“Yes, your costume. It’s been entrusted to the Bloody Lion Mercenary Group for delivery.” Tobia twitched his mouth a bit when he said this.
“Oh, you mean that. Right, I got it. When can you guys arrive?” Finn hesitated but quickly got the gist. He hadn’t expected the lady to come up with such a method. But hiring a Mercenary Group wouldn’t be cheap.
It’s going to be over a thousand star credits at least. It seemed she made quite a profit. “We’ll be there tonight. Do you have any specific requests?”
“No, nothing in particular, just send over the costume. Contact this guy when you arrive.” Finn gave Dunn Monty’s contact information to him.
“Alright.” After confirming, communication is cut off. As soon as it ended, Tobia turned and asked, “So?”
“It’s confirmed, there’s no one this powerful in the famous families of the federation.” A man behind Tobia immediately replied.
Tobia pondered it for a while, then said, “Okay, there are loads of powerful and wealthy people in the federation. If we can’t find him, let’s not look for now and don’t let him discover us. We sent such a grand team on this mission to establish a relationship with him. If he is willing to pay such a price for a piece of clothing, it means he doesn’t lack money.”
“Yes, commander, should we report to headquarter?”
“No need for now, we’ll talk after the mission ends. Despite everything, be on full alert. We don’t know what could happen on the road. Understood?” Tobia commanded in a grave voice.
“Yes.”
After hanging up the phone call, Lewis put the matter behind. The auction is tomorrow evening, so there’s more than a day left. Lewis was curious to see the design of the costume. He logged into the website and found a message from the designer.
When he opened the message, indeed there was a design preview and some words left by the designer. From the message, it could be inferred that since Lewis didn’t reply, the designer had confirmed the design. Lewis looked at the costume and immediately praised it. There was no denying, the designer who dared charge such a price definitely was skillful.
At least, this costume completely highlighted Lewis’s charater. It was all black, similar to a slim fitted trench coat. But what made it different was the material and manufacturing process, which maintained the costume in a perfect shape. Through a 3D dynamic image of Lewis, his temperament wearing this instantly appeared.
Moreover, its black wasn’t the same as the one produced by dyes. It was a profound black that seemed to absorb people’s sight, subtly dotted with delicate but not glaring patterns all over. It was clearly high-end and luxurious.
