Chapter 9: The Emma Family
"When are we leaving?" Frank asked.
"Right now, I'm running out of time, but there's one more thing to work out." Nova looked at Frank and said.
Frank: "What's the matter?" ”
"As my dance partner, you should be going for a change of costume." Nova put his hands on his waist and said.
"I see, I almost forgot about it. Simple, why don't you just buy one halfway? Frank shrugged.
"That's all there is to it, let's go! Time is running out. ”
In this way, Frank became Nova's personal bodyguard and dance partner, and the two rode the latest 428 hovercar to Maria's ball.
At this time, Nova was a good friend and also a noble child.
……
At this moment, on the other side, Konstantino was sitting comfortably with a cigar in his mouth, and at the same time, there was a three-dimensional three-dimensional condensed silver screen in front of him. This is Nova's room. Through the authority of Nova's life butler, he saw the whole process of the two from meeting to leaving Terra Mansion.
He looked at the two people in the picture hugging each other and dancing, seeing the affectionate devotion of the two, Konstantino blew lightly, and the white smoke in front of him instantly dissipated, only to see him with a cigar showing a faint smile.
As long as Frank is in the Terra Mansion, then his every move will not escape Konstantino's sight. However, it doesn't matter, both parties get what they want, or are about to get, so why not?
Constantino's retracted right fist slammed into the monitor panel, and the spotlight screen disappeared, and Frank and Nova were already on their way to the Maria Ball.
……
On the way to the ball, Frank hurriedly buys a black dress, and the two continue to the ball.
"Maria Emma, a good friend of mine, is the daughter of Roland Emma, the ruler of the new aristocratic Emma family. Although the Emma family does not have the same long history as our Terra family, they are very famous upstarts in Tassanis. Halfway through, Nova explains something about Maria to Frank.
"Emma's family! I've heard that they should be the Emma family who started with the fist product of "Ghost Fighter"! Frank said.
"That's right, I heard that they seem to have recently been working on a product that is cheaper and no weaker than the Ghost Fighter, I don't know if it's true or not." Nova nodded lightly and began to talk to Frank about Emma's family's fortune.
What is the fastest development of the entire Kpoplu Star Zone? It wasn't about opening up new colonies, and it wasn't about doing business. Arms trafficking is the fastest way to get rich, and of course, arms trafficking can also be said to be a legitimate business because it is legal.
Whether it is government armies or colonial pioneers, they need strong force to maintain law and order or protect their territory. And most of the planets in the Kpru Star Zone are far from imaginary paradise, and the exploration of new colonies, the study of extraterrestrial life, etc., are all in great danger, they are all pioneers in unknown fields, so they usually face all kinds of unknown dangers, in order to safely expand and research on unknown planets, they must be equipped with a large number of weapons to ensure safety.
The "Ghost Fighter" was born in the Emma family's private military research institute in 2476, and began to face the entire human Shijie in the Kpru Star Zone the following year, and since then the sales of the "Ghost Fighter" have been out of control. Whether it's government troops, colonial pioneers, Tassanis, Yumayan, etc. The ghost fighter has been the essential equipment of their air force since then, and the appearance of the ghost fighter has made the entire human Shijie's air force in the Texas Prue Star Region reequip, making the human Liliang further improved, and thus the Emma family has been achieved.
Generally speaking, most space battles take place between large warships, but the Jishu personnel at the Emma family's private military research institute have discovered that this small, high-speed maneuverable fighter can also deal non-stop damage to those large warships, and can also effectively avoid enemy attacks. Carrying air-to-air missiles and a multi-purpose laser launcher to attack tiny targets on the ground, the Ghost fighters are also equipped with the latest ECM stealth jishu, which allows the Ghost to have flexible tactics while also greatly improving battlefield survivability.
The Ghost Fighter's superb stealth jishu, strong battlefield survivability, and a full ammunition load of only 27 tons make it have good maneuverability at the same time. The all-around performance of the Ghost Fighter throws those old fighters just a few streets away. Therefore, the popularity of the Ghost Fighter is not accidental, but a historical necessity.
"We're almost there! There it is. Nova in the aircraft said, pointing to a 3,700-meter-tall building.
"It's another skyscraper, and you rich people like to do this?" Frank looked at the building in the distance, then turned to look at Nova.
"It's a symbol of family identity and status, or maybe it's a special culture of Tassanis." Nova replied nonchalantly.
"Yes! It can also be understood as a culture of comparison with Tassanis characteristics. Frank muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" Nova tilted his head, not hearing what he was saying.
"Oh! Very distinctive culture, very nice and nice. Frank Road.
"Really?" Nova looked at Frank suspiciously.
"Of course it's true, am I necessary?" Frank Road.
"I don't think so, do you dare me to sense what your mind is thinking?" Nova grinned.
"Don't come to this set, don't think about getting anything from me." Frank said lightly.
"Funny bodyguard!" Nova gave him a blank look, then ignored him. By this time, their flying machine had arrived at the family mansion where Maria was. The aircraft slowly approached......
"According to the IFF, this is Nova Terra's flying machine."
"Permission to pass."
The aircraft slowly entered the building under the guidance of a staff member, and Frank could only obediently follow Nova behind him, who only knew Nova but not him.
"Hello! Dear Miss Nova, welcome to Emma Mansion, Miss Maria has ordered me to take you to her ball. A Caucasian man dressed in black said respectfully.
Nova: "That's trouble! ”
"It's my honor to serve you, please ...... here," said the man in black.
Nova didn't talk nonsense, turned to Frank and said, "Let's go!" ”
……
"Subject was detected leaving the Terra Building, and at 6:39 local time, the subject left the building with Nova Terra."
"Roger! Keep tracking. ”
"Roger."
"The target vehicle entered the Emma Family Mansion at 7:15."
"You keep staring at them."
"Roger."
At a secret military base, the colonel has just received a report from a team sent to spy on Frank.
"Connect me with Lawrence, and call Will too!" The colonel pondered for a moment, then said to his lieutenant, an artificial intelligent robot.
……
On the other side, Nova and Frank, led by the servants of Emma's family, also came to the ball.
This empty ball hall is on the 3,540-meter floor of the building, and a door 6-7 meters high slowly opens, and Frank sees that the spacious hall is not too full of lights, and the door closes again after the two enter. If he hadn't come in from the outside, he really thought that he wasn't in a high-tech shijie.
The feeling here for him is full of the European atmosphere of the Middle Ages in the West of the earth, and it is empty as if in a church, about 20 meters from the ground to the dome, and a huge chandelier hangs above the dome. Below, Frank sees many men and women clinking glasses to each other, talking and laughing. They wore all kinds of dresses and danced to the music, and all this made him feel as if he had arrived at another shijie.
"What are you doing?" Nova on the side clearly sensed Frank's situation at the moment.
Frank came back to his senses and said stupidly, "It's very nice here." ”
"This is the life of a rich kid among Westerners, it's pretty good, it's very emotional! But I don't like it. Frank said to himself.
"Nova!"
At that moment, a female voice diverted Frank's attention, and the voice knew it was a young girl.
"Maria!"
Nova smiled when she saw a girl with curly black hair approaching, and the two hugged each other for a while.
"I thought you were going to release my pigeons again." Maria laughed.
"I'm really sorry! Nova is a bit crowded with people coming to the ball today, and I have to go and greet the rest of my friends. Maria then said apologetically.
"It's okay! We're good sisters. Nova didn't care, then looked around and smiled, "Maria! It seems that your popularity is not ordinarily small, and I have seen that quite a few of your suitors have come to this ball. ”
"Huh! You don't have many fewer suitors than I do, and I'm sure you'll have more birthdays than I do. Maria laughed, and she was very happy about it.
After a little small talk, Maria went to receive the other friends. The ball will also officially start at 8:00.
"There's a vacant seat over there, let's go and sit down there!" Frank looked around and said when he saw an empty seat.
Nova looked at it, nodded in agreement, and the two walked towards the designated place.
Among the many women at the ball, Nova was undoubtedly the most famous, and although she was only about 15 years old now, she was already a slim and beautiful girl. The golden hair that fell straight down like a golden waterfall made her look more mature and charming.
Many young people cast fiery eyes on it, and the families of the young people here have a certain status in Tassanis. And these rich children don't know much about the Terra family and Nova family.
Similarly, Nova had countless suitors, but Konstantino's high requirements discouraged them, and they could only sigh with a disgraced face, for which Konstantino's heart was incomparably happy when he saw the depression of those people, and only his daughter of Konstantin would do it.
……
A flying machine was flying towards Terra Mansion at this moment......
