On the day that the royal guards received Halls and returned to the Capital Star, the Limu Empire’s emperor received news that the crown prince was back safe and sound. 

“Thank you, Weiya!” The emperor said to the medal hanging behind him gratefully.

In the following days, the emperor would inquire about the crown prince’s location at least once a day, and the remaining number of days it would take for him to reach the Capital Star.

“Oh, his optical computer and desk are almost full from countless messages.” The emperor sighed softly.

After countless sighs, the palace attendant finally informed him, “The crown prince’s spacecraft has reached the Capital Star’s port…”

The emperor pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered, “Cover the entrance of the palace with a red carpet. Perhaps he likes fireworks? We can illuminate the sky with some fireworks… what color is good?”

The attendant spoke again, “…The crown prince said that there isn’t any Omega.”

The emperor instantly paused, “What did you say?”

That’s not all, the attendant thought. He added, “His Highness even said that he wouldn’t be returning to the palace immediately. He will be heading off somewhere first.”

“What kind of place is that for it to be more important than bringing his Omega home?” The emperor frowned.

The attendant replied in a daze, “No one knows His Highness’ plans.”

The emperor fell silent for a moment before saying, “Go and prepare my hovercraft!”

Just as the emperor boarded his hovercraft and headed off to the port, the crown prince left the port with Qin Yi.

“We’re on our way to Meili Bank’s head office now.” He said.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes, then leaned back on his chair lazily with a glass of juice in his hand. He nodded lightly and answered, “That’s great.”

Halls also relaxed a little and sat down next to Qin Yi. Although the sweet pheromone scent seemed to be lingering around his nose again, it didn’t rush in strongly like before, making him seem unapproachable. 

At this time, soft breathing sounds drifted into his ears.

Halls turned to look and discovered that Kilia had fallen asleep.

The ‘lady’s’ eyes were closed, and her serene expression was even more beautiful than the treasured ‘lotus painting’ in his palace. Halls’ breathing also unconsciously relaxed.

At this moment, the guard said in a stunned voice, “Your High… Sir, it seems that traffic control is in progress ahead.”

Is it because I’m back? Halls frowned. He was no stranger to such scenes.

Halls stood up and looked at the ‘lady’ once more before turning to walk out. 

“Help me connect to the person in charge of controlling this road.”

“Understood.”

Halls closed the door, ensuring that the ‘lady’ resting inside wouldn’t overhear anything.  The communicator on his wrist lit up and the face of a middle-aged man soon appeared in front of him.

The man hardly seemed to recognize who he was the moment he laid eyes on him, but because the communication encryption he received had the special royal imprint on it, he still voiced out in a trembling voice even if he couldn’t believe it, “Crown Prince… Your Highness?”

“Mn.” Halls didn’t want to engage in small talk with him and went straight to the point, “Let my spacecraft pass.”

“Yes… understood… but why are you not driving your personal spacecraft?”

Halls didn’t answer him and only looked at him silently.

The middle-aged man immediately realized he shouldn’t have asked and hurriedly added, “I’ll release your spacecraft immediately. The main reason is that Meili Bank’s heir has just returned from the Alliance today and will be going to the head office to oversee something. As you know, they’ve always been paying high taxes to the Empire, so upon the bank’s request…”

The middle-aged man suddenly paused, “My apologies, I spoke nonsense again.”

However, Halls’ face instantly changed. 

He stared at the middle-aged man and asked in a low voice, “What did you say? Why the traffic control? Say it again.”

The young heir to the empire looked frosty and the hideous wounds on his face added a sense of ruthlessness and ferocity to him.

This look was something that usually couldn’t be seen on the crown prince’s face at all. 

The man almost thought that he was talking to an entirely different person.

Finally, the middle-aged man spent three minutes explaining what was happening in detail. In the end, his hands were shaking when he cut off communications. 

He only knew that he was extremely scared of the crown prince right now, but he didn’t know that there was a huge storm in said crown prince’s heart right now.

He had lied to Kilia, saying that he was the heir of Meili Bank.

This was while the true heir had already arrived near the bank.

This was a case of the fake goods meeting the real deal!

“Your Highness, w-what’s the matter? Is there a problem?” One of Halls’ royal guards asked, his voice trembling.

Ever since the crown prince had disappeared and reappeared, there seemed to be something off about him.

He was in a rush on the way back and insisted on guarding that Beta beauty. He even refused to lie for an extra hour in the medical cabin.

Halls suddenly turned around and asked softly, “If you lied and now the lie is about to be exposed, what would you do?”

The guard: “Kill… kill the other party?”

Halls: “…”

Halls: “Are you dumb?”

The guard dropped his head, spiritless.

At this moment, the sound of knuckles rapping on the door came from behind Halls. 

When Qin Yi opened his eyes, he discovered that there was no one around him. He didn’t want an accident to occur again on this trip, so he went straight to the door.

He knocked on the door and asked, “Are you here?”

Halls was very receptive to his voice, almost as if only Kilia remained in his eyes, and everyone else would be ignored.

Only god knew that Qin Yi had forgotten what his name was again, only remembering that it was something with a stone in it.

Halls: “I’m here.”

At the same time, Halls gave a new order to his royal guards through his communicator.

【Kidnap the heir of Meili Bank.】

【???】

For a while, his private channel was full of question marks, but Halls didn’t look down again. He quickly opened his eyes and locked eyes with Qin Yi.

“You’re awake?” Halls asked.

“Mn.” Qin Yi nodded, then looked down at his wrist, “Your communicator is ringing.”

Halls: “It’s not important.”

Qin Yi didn’t question any further. He turned and looked out of the spacecraft. It was completely empty throughout the entire flight path. One would be able to see the silver lights of the building in the distance at a glance, and the symbol of the sunflower that was floating.

Qin Yi: “We seem to… have reached Meili Bank.”

So fast?

Halls lowered his gaze. All the muscles in his body instantly stiffened.

Meili Bank’s staff obviously knew what the true heir looked like, so he couldn’t directly pass himself off as the heir.

Moreover, the weight of his lie would become heavier if he impersonated the heir.

Halls: “My bodyguards will accompany you in first. I have to handle some affairs.”

He said this while pointing to the communicator that he previously labeled as ‘unimportant’.

Qin Yi nodded nonchalantly. In any case, he didn’t have to spend a single cent. On the contrary, he had even made a hundred million while reaching Meili Bank safely.

He could finish the rest by himself. Of course, if there were bodyguards, it would ensure that he wouldn’t be targeted by criminals after taking his inheritance away.

He currently looked too similar to those weaklings that were easily bullied.

Halls quickly watched as Qin Yi got off the spacecraft.

The entire view of Meili Bank gradually came into sight. The towering building seemed to be almost up in the clouds, and there was a long red carpet in front of the golden doors. A dozen small robots were holding flowers and dancing. 

All that was left was the release of the banner, celebrating XXX written on it.

“Is there a festival going on today?” Qin Yi walked forward and asked.

The staff smiled and answered, “Our Young Master Alfred is coming here for an inspection, and we will be suspending the handling of large transactions today…”

Qin Yi: “…”

Was it too late for him to kill this Alfred now?

There were other people near him who were also held up. They said in dissatisfaction, “What? Is that also the reason for the traffic control today?”

“The one who’s coming is old Gladstone’s son?”

“What? The new heir to Meili Bank?”

Qin Yi instantly turned around.

Huh? The heir?

Isn’t that the youth on board the spacecraft behind him?

At this moment, Halls looked down at his communicator. It was about to be overwhelmed by the influx of messages.

【Your Highness, you’re back?】

【Your Highness, think twice!】

【Your Highness, why do you want to kidnap little Gladstone? If he did anything wrong, I’m willing to bring him to apologize to Your Highness】

【!!!】

Only then did Halls realize that his hand was too quick just now, and that order had been sent to many people.

Halls frowned unhappily. He replied to the last message sent.

【Hurry up and bring him over, I’m outside Meili Bank】

The one who sent that message to Halls was the son of the Finance Minister, Henry.

Henry unexpectedly had contact with the real little Gladstone. For a little while, Halls even had the thought of making Henry back up his identity, but the idea was quickly suppressed.

No lie could last for a long time. Halls had done this several times in the past when he had noticed his minister’s young age and tried to deceive him.

On the other end, Henry immediately turned to ask the man beside him after receiving the news, “How could you have offended the Crown Prince?”

The man also looked puzzled, “I-I don’t know…”

“We have to go over right now! Forget about the inspection first. The crown prince of the empire has absolute power and authority. Once he gets angry, it won’t end with just kidnapping you, He may even kill you right away…” Henry’s voice shook as he spoke while he brought his man down from the hovercraft.

It turned out that their hovercraft had just reached nearby.

At that moment, the staff at the door saw their figures and an expression of joy could be seen on their faces, “Young Master!”

But just as they started shouting, they watched their Young Master being taken to another hovercraft. 

“…What’s the matter?”

“Why did the Young Master leave again?”

At this moment, Qin Yi looked back thoughtfully.

He asked, “Is he the young master?”

The staff: “Yes.”

Qin Yi: “Oh.”

Just as Zheng Yi’an had said, the youth had indeed lied to him.
