Chapter 972 Minotaur (middle)
971. Minotaur (middle)
On the spaceship, Rush Clovis is still looking for opportunities to get a par. Padmé was on top of him, and even wearing a seat belt seemed unable to stop him. His movements gradually began to become unscrupulous, stroking the back of Padmé's hand, and even wanted to reach out and kiss him.
Although Rock Johnson was also sitting next to him, to Clovis, it was just a robot and it didn't matter. They have long been accustomed to being surrounded and served by robots, so even applauding for love in front of robots is absolutely fine (sure).
Anakin Skywalker, who saw this scene in the driver's seat, was extremely angry. He turned to Padmé's captain of the bodyguard who was sitting in the passenger seat and said: "Look at that guy's mouth. ! I bet it was at least a meter long!”
The captain of the guard didn't know what to say, so he smiled and shrugged.
Anakin looked at the surveillance screen, smiled coldly, and said to himself, "Fortunately, I was prepared just now."
As he said that, he turned on the intercom and pretended to exclaim, "Oh no! Be careful! There's an accident ahead!!" As he said this, he suddenly turned the spacecraft to the side.
It had not yet left the atmosphere, and this sharp turn immediately caused the people in the cabin to fall to one side.
Rush Clovis's mouth was only 1 centimeter away from kissing Padmé's face. He was very unhappy at being thrown away, "Is this the best pilot in the galaxy? Padme." Demei. I think I can send it for you...hey..."
Before he could finish his words, the seat belt that Anakin had just broken was suddenly disconnected! Clovis was suddenly thrown out and hit the front seat.
"Clovis! Be careful!" Padmé stood up subconsciously, unbuckled her safety belt and walked over to help Clovis up.
Anakin, who happened to arrive at the cabin, saw this scene and his eyes burst into flames. He walked forward with three steps at a time and said without politeness at all: "I'm sorry, sir, there were two spaceships in front of me just now." Collision, but you are very lucky, the problem of the damaged seat belt was not discovered until the spacecraft crashed."
As he said this, he grabbed Clovis's shoulders with both hands, and he suddenly lifted his body. In fact, Clovis, who was quite burly, was caught, and without any explanation he pressed himself on the seat one space away from Padmé, and then tapped the seat belt, "Okay, this seat is absolutely safe!"
< br> Rush Clovis was confused the whole time and could only let Anakin manipulate him. After the other person left, he realized that he had been placed one seat away from Padme, "Eh? This ...This pilot is simply..."
Padmé smiled apologetically and said, "Haha, this person is a soldier, so his style is a bit resolute, don't mind."
Who knew that her smile looked completely different to Clovis? Just to comfort myself. He fully thought that Padmé had changed her mind and was beginning to look forward to something more long-term.
Padmé took one look at Clovis's radiant expression and knew what he was thinking.
She understands very well, for such a man, if you give them a look, they will think you are interested in him; if you say something to them, they will think it is an expression of love; if you treat them to a meal, They started to book a hotel room under the table; it would be okay if they held hands or something, and maybe they even thought of the name of the child.
The spacecraft flew out of Coruscant's atmosphere, left the gravitational circle, started the hyperspace engine, and went to Cato Neimoidia, a world of wealth famous for its luxury.
After Rush-Clovis sent the identification code, the Trade Federation fleet on alert outside the planet released the spacecraft.
Anakin drove the spacecraft to Bridge City, the capital of the planet Cato-Neimoidia. This is a city built on several huge bridges, with stunning scenery and extremely luxurious palaces.
"This is my first time coming to this planet..." Padmé looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, almost intoxicated.
"Haha, this is the world of wealth that the Neimoidians have spent centuries creating. It is the most luxurious and comfortable planet in the galaxy." Clovis said. "But...why do the Neimoidians allow you to be here?" Padmé asked meaningfully.
"The Trade Federation has been owing money to our Interstellar Banking Association. In fact, many industries on this planet have been mortgaged to us and exchanged for huge loans." Clovis said very proudly, while holding his hand And quietly wanted to put it on Padmé's slim waist.
Anakin, who was piloting the spaceship at the side, was about to burst out of his eyes with fire. Padmé also took into account his feelings and quickly swatted Clovis's hands away.
At the same time, Padmé also asked: "There have been rumors that the Trade Federation is helping the separatists, so how much money did they ask for a loan from you, and they actually used Cato-Neimoidia's industry as collateral? ? "
"The latest one is 150 billion credits. As for the use, it's security expenses and escort expenses." Clovis said.
“That’s money for the war.”
"If you work in a bank, you need to ignore these messages, because it will make you lose your impartiality." Clovis shook his head and said, "For example, a person withdraws money at the bank and then buys a blaster rifle. , went on the street and killed two people. Do you want to blame the bank? And do you want the bank to investigate this? So how do you define what this person will use the money for? It makes you completely unfair.”
The spacecraft landed in an extremely luxurious palace according to the navigation, and a group of people stepped off the spacecraft.
However, several people came towards Padmé, which surprised Padmé, "Lot-Dude? Why are the Congressional Representatives of the Trade Federation appearing here!"
Lot-Dude obviously He was also very surprised by Padme's visit. He pointed at Clovis angrily and said: "What on earth are you thinking?! Why did you bring the MP from Naboo here!? Don't you know that today is an important meeting? ? ! You postponed the meeting without permission yesterday, but you actually brought an outsider with you today!"
Clovis said coldly: "I'm going to visit my own property, what's the problem? .”
Lot-Dude said angrily: "This is just a temporary mortgage! Temporary!"
"Let's wait until you find a way to repay the money." Clovis waved his hand and ignored him. .
He turned to Padmé and said: "Do you remember what I said yesterday? I am making an important investment. Please allow me to delay for a moment while I finish discussing the investment-related matters. Come and experience the beauty of Bridge City with you."
Then, Clovis placed Padmé in the mansion and left for a meeting with Lot-Dude.
Anakin Skywalker whispered: "Lot Dude! This person is also very suspicious. It should be said that compared to the Interstellar Banking Association, the Trade Federation's attitude towards separatism is more obvious . Now that these two super corporate giants are so close, there must be some conspiracy.”
"I'll try to see if I can get some information," Padmé said.
"I'll go with you, it's very dangerous here." Anakin said and was about to walk into the palace.
However, the palace guard stopped him directly, "I'm sorry, servants are not allowed to enter such a noble place."
