Sitting in the carriage, Martina could no longer bear the grievances and anger in her patience. She was like a mad little lioness, tearing a car mat to shreds with her sharp nails, and the appearance of falling into madness made Angus sitting in the front row of the maglev car speechless.

When she was exhausted, Martina had red eyes and huddled in the corner with her knees like a helpless child. At that time, the sobbing of sorrow from time to time made Robin's heart soften, and he couldn't help but ask, "That person is Elliott?" ”

“……”

Looking at Robin with some sadness, Martina bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

Robin remembered the burly man in a silver-black uniform and asked, "So...... And who is that Arnold? ”

"He's the chief of the Hermes spaceport police station......"

Hearing the identity of the strong man, Robin couldn't help frowning. Capturing Robin's expression, Martina hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and explained with some panic: "Don't get me wrong, there is no dispute between our company and the Space Police Department, so the scene just now will definitely not affect our cooperation." ”

“……”

Watching poor Martina desperately explain the scene just now, and thinking of the pressure and pain on her thin shoulders, Robin suddenly began to sympathize with Martina's plight, and he felt that he should not use this poor girl purely from the perspective of an enemy, which would disturb his conscience.

"Don't worry, I didn't say I'm going to end our collaboration." Wiping away the tears from the corners of Martina's eyes with his fingers, Robin said gently: "Now it's time for us to go to the Ministry of Commerce to register my company, and you will become a shareholder of my company, my only partner." ”

"The only ......"

Chewing on Robin's promise-like words, a strange warm current suddenly spread in Martina's heart. From the time her father was killed until now, she has become accustomed to seeing the indifference and ugliness of the world, but Robin, who has only known her for a few hours, has given her an unprecedented sense of security and made her heart beat faster suddenly.

"I'm sorry...... I'm a little out of shape again......"

Perhaps thinking that it was too rude to stare at Robin like this, Martina hurriedly lowered her head, shyly wiped away the tears that began to roll in her eyes again, and muttered with a smile: "I don't know why, I always seem to make myself look like a child today." ”

"You were a kid."

After blurting out this sentence, Robin pointed to Martina's crying pretty face and teased, "I hope you still have time to touch up your makeup before we get out of the car." ”

Savoring the meaning of Robin's words, Martina couldn't help but let out a scream, hurriedly covered her face and turned her head, and hurriedly took out her makeup bag and began to touch up her makeup. And in the driver's seat, Gabriel, who secretly saw all this through the rearview mirror, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and showed a gentle smile like a father.

After this episode, the relationship between Robin and Martina seems to be much more harmonious, and they are no longer always vigilant and distant like strangers. When getting off the bus, Martina also graciously grabbed Robin's arm, handled all the formalities for Robin in every detail, and officially joined the Roche logistics company established by Robin in her own name, becoming the only shareholder of this new company in addition to Robin.

As for the choice of the company's location, Martina chose a large space station for Robin that was adjacent to the Georgia space station.

The large, idle space station originally belonged to another logistics company, but due to poor management, the logistics company collapsed not long ago, and the space station it built was confiscated by the Hermes spaceport as a mortgage on property.

After inspecting the station's facilities and location, Robin signed a one-year lease contract with the Hermes spaceport, and the lease fee for renting the station was as high as 5 million federal dollars.

Although there is no specific concept of the price of goods in the Raymond Federation, as far as Robin saw when he was hanging out last time, some second-hand space shuttles are only sold for more than 100,000 federal coins. The annual rental fee for this large space station is as high as five million federal coins, and it is no wonder that Martina was embarrassed when she first heard that Robin was going to lease a large space station.

But even if the price is a little high, it is Martina who is paying for it. Although this part of the lease fee is also deducted from the payment to Robin, it is obviously not so distressing to spend the money that has not yet arrived.

Filled with the joy of getting their new home, Robin and Angus leave the Hermes spaceport first, ready to take the entire fleet to their new home. Martina stayed at the Hermes spaceport for the time being, promising to visit Robin's 'new home' in person in a few days.

A few hours later...... The TR-735 fleet, which had completed its first cargo handover with Byron Heavy Metals Trading, left the Georgia space station for the Octopus space station, which Robin leased, less than an hour's journey from the Georgia space station.

The name Octopus Station sounds strange, but in fact, it resembles a giant octopus with teeth and claws.

Compared with the Georgia space station, which specializes in production, the Octopus space station does not have so much internal space, but it has eight large mooring racks that can accommodate 100,000-ton transport ships.

"Hey, why did you rent such an ugly space station, this place is so ugly! ～”

Standing by the window of the ship looking at this future 'home' with great interest, Lee laughed happily while not forgetting to sarcastically mock Robin.

"Ugly?" Robin glanced at him disdainfully after hearing this: "If you think it's ugly, you can go elsewhere by yourself, I don't mind giving you a rescue pod." I think Cecilia would have agreed. ”

“……”

Li was choked by Robin's words for a long time, and could only spit out two words angrily: "You are ruthless!" ～”

Seeing Li eating deflated, the shipboard personnel and marines around him who were familiar with Li couldn't help but laugh heartily. And hearing everyone's heartfelt laughter, looking at the cheerful smiles on everyone's faces, Robin's nerves, which had been tense, could finally be completely relaxed.

All the way from Kuiper Circle to here, Robin is making decisions all the way, and he is making the final decision. He carried everyone's hopes and destiny on his shoulders, so he was tense with great pressure at every moment. In the depths of his unknown heart, he is not as calm as he appears, and he will also worry that his decision is wrong, and that his decision has led the fleet to a dead end. Confusion and confusion have always accompanied him, and many times, he even feels that he is about to be driven crazy by this heavy pressure.

But now, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least, everyone is alive now, and they have a legal identity, a huge fortune to make ends meet, and a 'home' to live in.

Perhaps, all this is only temporary, but for them who have been uprooted and wandered to enemy countries, it gives them hope to continue to survive, and they begin to believe that Robin can work miracles and take them home one day.

"The mechanical fixing is completed, the passage is built......

On the bridge of the TR-735, Borg excitedly reported the mooring to Cecilia.

"The hatch opens."

With Cecilia's order, the seven transports from the Nine Star Republic opened their hatches at the same time. The many shipboard personnel who had been waiting by the hatch suddenly swarmed out, shouting and running into the space station through the temporary passage.

Under the arrangement of the captains of each ship, the crew of each ship dispersed in groups of three or five and began to carefully inspect the space station that already belonged to them.

"Bad...... Bad ...... Or is it bad...... It's all bad! ～”

Holding his hands behind his back and checking all the instruments and equipment in the space station, Old Jack's face became darker and darker, and Robin, who was following Old Jack, trembled like a primary school apprentice waiting to be scolded, and didn't dare to come out, just waiting for Old Jack to point at his nose and scold.

But after waiting for a while, Robin didn't hear Old Jack scold him.

Looking up in some confusion, Robin found Old Jack sitting on a machine smoking a cigar, and looked at himself with a look of relief.

"Old ...... Geezer...... You ......" Robin sat down beside Old Jack in disbelief, secretly wondering if this hot-tempered old fellow was so angry that he would behave so abnormally.

"Hey...... Well done kid! ~To be honest, when I decided to leave the academy, I didn't expect this journey to be so thrilling. I can't live in vain to experience such an interesting thing in the last days of my life......"

Hearing Old Jack's words, Robin couldn't help but be stunned: "Old Jack, you ......"

"Hey, hey! ~ But I still want to return to my roots one day! Old Jack slapped Robin on the back of the head and roared, "That's right, even though everything in this rotten place is bad." But what's the bad one, there's something my old Jack can't fix! ～”

"Haha...... Of course! ~" Rubbing the back of the head that was hurt by Old Jack, Robin hurriedly pretended to be well-behaved.

"But......" Old Jack's tone changed, and he suddenly grabbed a big wrench and knocked the broken machine next to him: "But you bought these rags yourself, and you have to help repair them!" ～”

"......" Robin opened his mouth to shirk it, but seeing Old Jack's undeniable look, he could only agree silently with a bitter face.
