"Excellent!" Wang Teng nodded in approval, stating, "As long as this matter is handled well, I will bestow upon you greater rewards."
"Yes, my lord, rest assured, I will not disappoint you," Payne replied respectfully.
Without further ado, he immediately contacted the warrior of the Black Skull Universe Pirates he had mentioned earlier. He did it right in front of Wang Teng without any hint of concealment.
The others present exchanged glances, swiftly quieting down, their gazes fixed on Payne. Some even harbored malicious thoughts, hoping for his failure.
Soon, Payne established munication, and a pig-human race martial warrior appeared on the screen.
The screen faced away from Wang Teng and the others so the pig-human race martial warrior couldn't see them at all.
"Payne, it's been a while since we last spoke. What brings you to contact me this time?" The pig-human race martial warrior spoke.
"Chad, fancy joining me for a drink sometime? I've just plundered a wealthy merchant recently and got quite a stash of fine liquor, hahaha…" Payne laughed heartily.
"Fine liquor!" The pig-human race warrior's eyes lit up, saying, "Sure thing, where are you now?"
"Let me check the map," Payne said.
Wang Teng promptly had Round Ball locate a nearby uninhabited planet and sent its coordinates to Payne's smart wristwatch. All of this occurred within seconds, leaving no room for suspicion.
"I've sent you the stellar coordinates. How about we meet on some random uninhabited planet here?" Payne forwarded the coordinates given by Round Ball and proposed.
"No problem." The pig-human race martial warrior on the other end checked the coordinates and nodded, smiling. "Seems like you haven't given up on the Five Burial Stars sector. I'm not far from there; I'll arrive within three hours. Wait for me."
With that, he ended the munication. The process was remarkably smooth.
"Done!" Payne grinned. "Sir…"
Wang Teng waved his hand, interrupting him. "I've heard everything. I can wait three hours. Prepare to land on an uninhabited planet. I will personally take action."
"Oh right, this person is a heaven-stage martial warrior, right?"
"Yes, he's a ninth-level heaven-stage martial warrior, and he's likely acquired numerous techniques and scriptures within the Black Skull Universe Pirates, making him much stronger than me," Payne remarked.
Wang Teng merely nodded, his expression calm.
Payne didn't elaborate further. He wasn't worried at all. This young prodigy before him could even slay a universe-stage martial warrior. Dealing with a ninth-level heaven-stage martial warrior was nothing to be concerned about.
"Alright, all of you, prepare yourselves. Tracy, stay back." Wang Teng waved his hand, dismissing the others.
The group glanced curiously at Tracy. Seeing her being singled out by Wang Teng, some couldn't help but feel envious. Even Payne, who had just received rewards from Wang Teng, was no exception.
Damn, being pretty really did count for something.
These big men couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy, but ultimately, they could only resign themselves to leaving, regretting not having been born as ladies.
Yet, they didn't stop to think. With their stature, even if they were born as ladies, would they truly be attractive?
Of course, Wang Teng singled out Tracy not because of her looks but because he saw potential in her.
It had to be admitted that among these universe pirates, Tracy possessed the greatest talent. Her previous intelligence-gathering work on the Five Burial Stars showcased her remarkable abilities, worthy of cultivation.
After everyone had left, Wang Teng didn't speak immediately. Instead, his gaze swept back and forth over Tracy with a hint of scrutiny.
Tracy felt a bit unfortable under his scrutiny. Initially, she hadn't thought much of it. But as his gaze lingered, doubts began to surface in her mind.
Could this guy have ulterior motives before she leaves?
Despite her confidence in her appearance and figure, even though the young prodigy before her had never shown any signs of lecherous intent, who could guarantee what he was thinking deep down?
"Men, huh~" Tracy couldn't help but let out a cold laugh as she pondered.
Wang Teng: …
The woman's laughter was eerie.
"If you want me, just say it. After all, I can't resist anyway," Tracy said coldly. "It's just a body, I'll treat it like being bitten by a mosquito."
Wang Teng was speechless.
Being bitten by a mosquito.
Was she jeering at him?
No, wait, he never had such thoughts.
"Are you overthinking?" Wang Teng said with a wry smile. "The five major families wanted to offer their prodigy to me, and I didn't accept. Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun are as good-looking as you, and they are even younger. Are you too confident?"
Tracy's eye twitched. She looked at Wang Teng's somewhat playful gaze and suddenly wished to find a hole to hide in.
"Confidence is good, but don't always think in that direction," Wang Teng stood up and circled Tracy, seemingly admiring her voluptuous figure, but his words were casual.
"Can you take your eyes off when you say that?" Tracy said.
"Sorry, I can't," Wang Teng chuckled. "Beautiful women are meant to be admired. Although I have no other intentions, you can't deprive me of the pleasure of appreciating beauty."
Tracy: …
She underestimated Wang Teng's shamelessness.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Wang Teng stopped. He walked in front of Tracy and said seriously, "Get ready."
