Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Upon hearing what Fang Han said, everyone was immediately stunned.

Orange-level Honorary Aristocrat!

That was someone who was especially privileged and favored by the gods, not an ordinary person!

There were differences between Honorary Aristocrats and the Galaxy Aristocrats. For a Galaxy Aristocrat, you might be impressed by their lineage and envy them for having a good life because they had a good father. But for an Honorary Aristocrat, you could only lament the fact that he had superior ability. Comparisons were odious, but you simply could not be jealous of them because there was only one way to become an Honorary Aristocrat—that was to overwhelm all the competition and carve a way with blood and sweat, surpassing millions!

“God, there’s really an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat coming here? That’s awesome!”

“Yes, yes. Ordinary people cannot become Honorary Aristocrats. I wonder how powerful the one who is coming here for an inspection is!”

“Stop talking. Hurry up, go back and get ready. An Honorary Aristocrat. Wow!”

“Eh, what do you think of my looks? Can I seduce him? An Honorary Aristocrat, that’s awesome!”

“Forget it. Every Honorary Aristocrat is extraordinarily talented. There must be a hundred million or at least eighty million women going after him. You better stop thinking about it.”

“That’s true…”

“All right. Everyone, quiet!” Fang Han put his hand up to suppress the discussions and soon everyone quietened down. Fang Han said, “Everyone still has half an hour to get ready. Go back, take a bath, tidy yourself up, neaten your clothing and do your hair nicely. We must uphold the good image of our company and leave a good impression on the exalted Honorary Aristocrat. Everyone hear me?”

“Yes!” Everyone roared and left to get ready.

It was an Honorary Aristocrat who was visiting, so no matter what, they had to put on their best clothes and be on their best behavior. They did not even go to such lengths when they were attending match-making sessions.

…

9:30 AM.

“Ah… get ready for work…” The sun had already risen high by the time Hong Dali contentedly got out of bed. He glanced at the high-tech digital clock on the wall…

“Yes, there is still time…” Hong Dali rubbed his eyes and got up slowly. He got dressed and had breakfast before getting ready to leave. “Everyone gather, time to go to work!”

“To work!” Everyone cheered.

Hong Dali put the exclusive cloak meant for orange-level Honorary Aristocrats and snapped his fingers. “Let’s go!”

Aristocrat.Dali!

…

Soon, Hong Dali and his followers took a spacecraft and, following the directions on the Navigation System on board, headed to Fang Han’s company warehouse.

There was no one at the warehouse at all.

“Eh? What’s happening here?” Hong Dali looked left and right and ascertained that there was indeed no one at the warehouse at all. He said curiously, “It should be working hours now? How come there’s no one here at all? That’s strange!”

“Yes, what happened?” Everyone was perplexed. It was not a gazetted public holiday that day, how come no one had come to work?

“Forget it, forget it. I don’t care.” Hong Dali went straight upstairs. “Anyway, Big Brother Fang Han had already added me into the security system yesterday. I’ll just go upstairs first. It’s better if there is no one around, I can relax happily. Haha!”

That was the advantage of being a lazy person. All they had to do was hide in their burrows regardless of the situation. Only fools got themselves involved in whatever was happening.

“Yes, yes. Let’s go upstairs first and go into the virtual world to take a look when we get off work.” Tang Muxin was still thinking about the Tower of Trials—to be honest, she had never actually engaged in battle before, so she was feeling rather anxious.

“Upstairs, upstairs.” So, they all trooped upstairs.

…

10:30 AM.

The square in front of Fang Han’s company.

Led by Fang Han, more than two thousand company employees were waiting respectfully at the square. They had been waiting for more than two and a half hours—the Honorary Aristocrat who was supposed to be here to inspect the company had still not arrived! What was happening? Was he delayed? It was fine if he was just late, but if something had happened to him on the way, that would be terrible!

Fang Han was already sweating buckets. He finally took out his communication device, having decided to ask about the current situation.

Last night, he heard that his brother, Fang Wei, had gotten his arms and legs broken because he offended a Galaxy Aristocrat. Fang Han did not dare to be careless when it came to anything relating to the Galaxy Aristocrats. In fact, if it were not for the fact that the Honorary Aristocrat who was supposed to be here was not here yet and Fang Han was worried that he may have gotten into an accident, he wouldn’t have dared to contact the higher-ups—it was just a longer wait than usual, and he dared not question the Honorary Aristocrat. That would be a serious offense!

“Hello.” The communication device connected and Fang Han cautiously asked the holographic projection of the other party that appeared, “The exalted Honorary Aristocrat is still not here yet. Could something have happened?”

“What has it got to do with you if anything happened or not?” The figure on the other end of the communication device droned. “All you have to do is wait.”

“Yes… yes…” Fang Han dared not say too much. He was unsure as to the intentions of the higher-ups. This could be a test for them—his younger brother Fang Wei had just gotten his limbs broken yesterday and, although they were not on good terms, the higher-ups might be making things difficult for Fang Han because of that. He had to proceed with caution.

Just as he was going to switch off the communication device and continue waiting, the other person suddenly stroked his chin and muttered, “Speaking of which, he should be there already. Did you not receive any news at all?”

“None.” Fang Han nodded and said, “We haven’t gotten any news so far.”

“That’s strange. He said he would be there today…” The projected person thought about it for a while and suddenly remembered something. “Oh right, I remember. The exalted orange-level Honorary Aristocrat said that he would be going to the warehouse. I forgot about that.”

Warehouse?! The Honorary Aristocrat was inspecting the warehouse?!

Fang Han’s sweat fell like rain. His new friend, brother Dali was there, wasn’t he? If he accidentally offended the Honorary Aristocrat, that would be terrible!

However, there seemed to be no movement from the warehouse at the moment. The exalted orange-level Honorary Aristocrat had probably not arrived yet.

Fang Han hurriedly asked for instructions respectfully, “Then… I will go and wait at the warehouse now?”

“Go.” The figure waved airily. “Watch your manners and etiquette. Miss Qianxue personally informed us about this visit. According to the latest instruction, the twenty-eighth division in which your company is located has been given to this Honorary Aristocrat, so serve him well. If you can keep this lord happy, you will be duly rewarded.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Fang Han nodded vehemently. The Honorary Aristocrats were astute masters. As long as they could keep him happy, there would be good times for everyone in the future. Fang Han asked again, cautiously, “May I know the name of this Aristocrat…”

“Who are you to casually ask about the name of the Honorary Aristocrat?” The figure said, “Go!”

“Yes, yes, yes, understood!”

Fang Han wiped the sweat off his brow. This was really hard to deal with.

This orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, who had an official title and lands, wanted to visit his warehouse? What was this situation?

“Hopefully, we’re still on time.” Fang Hang muttered, “Brother Dali is there, I hope he does not offend the Honorary Aristocrat with his lackadaisical nature. I must hurry. I will try to have the Honorary Aristocrat look around the front of the warehouse, hopefully that will satisfy him. Then I can treat him to a good meal at the Brent Restaurant. That should settle it.”

Fang Han immediately said to the employees, “Everyone, gather at the main door of the warehouse! The latest news has it that the Honorary Aristocrat is inspecting the warehouse!”

After they heard what Fang Han said, everyone started talking among themselves—

“The Honorary Aristocrat is going to look at the warehouse? Why?”

“Does the exalted Honorary Aristocrat have some special pastimes?”

“That’s possible. I heard that these Honorary Aristocrats have abilities beyond belief. They also have all kinds of strange habits and hobbies. Rumor has it that there are some who cannot sleep unless they are at the top of the mountain. Perhaps there is one who likes touring warehouses.”

“That’s true. Let’s stop talking and hurry over. If we get there late and anger the Aristocrat, it will not be a joking matter!”

The huge contingent immediately started moving and soon arrived at the warehouse. Fang Han had everyone stand with their backs to the warehouse. Over two thousand people stood neatly in thirty-six rows with Fang Han in front. They all stood ramrod straight in the mid-morning sun!

This time they waited for half an hour or so and soon it was eleven in the morning. Finally, four small fifty-meter-long spacecraft slowly descended and finally landed in front of Fang Han and everyone else.

It’s here!

Fang Han’s heart gave a happy leap and he immediately exclaimed, “Welcome, exalted Honorary Aristocrat! Salute!”

Everyone in the company raised their hands up high and shouted, “Welcome, exalted Honorary Aristocrat!”

Soon, the doors of the spacecraft opened and four Honorary Aristocrats wearing red trench coats appeared!

“It’s the Honorary Aristocrats. Luckily, they got to the warehouse in time.” Fang Han saw the four men and immediately made a forty-five degree bow. At the same time, he wondered to himself, “I thought they said that an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat would be coming? How come four red-leveled ones came instead?”

Regardless, they were still undeniably Honorary Aristocrats. The cloak could not be pirated. Fang Han took a step forward. “Fang Han greets the four Lords.”

“Yes.” The man leading them was red-level Honorary Aristocrat Young Master Feiyun. He gave a brief grunt of acknowledgment and asked, “Hong Dali, is he here?”

When he heard that, Fang Han’s heart skipped a beat!

These four Honorary Aristocrats were here for Hong Dali? Did his Brother Dali offend them? This was big trouble. No matter what, Brother Dali was fated to have met him, so he could not just leave him in the lurch. He might not be able to take all responsibility, but he could at least help to diffuse the situation a little. Fang Han asked cautiously, “May I know if this Hong Dali that you mentioned, did he offend you?”

Without answering the question, he tried to glean more information on the situation. If Hong Dali really offended them, he might still be able to put in a few words for him with his own family background. He might not be able to ensure that Hong Dali escaped unscathed, but perhaps he may be able to stay alive.

Fang Han had been respectful thus far, but Young Master Feiyun frowned and took out a glove, which he put on his right hand. He then turned and slapped Fang Han!

Young Master Feiyun was able to become a red-level Honorary Aristocrat based on the fact that he was a Second Order Planet warrior and had a bright future. He was one of the top fifty red-level Honorary Aristocrats in the Jiang Family. This slap was no laughing matter. Fang Han was already bleeding from a corner of his mouth!

“Who do you think you are? What right do you have to ask me questions?” Feiyun said coldly, “You just have to tell me if Hong Dali is here!”
