296: Chapter 296: Misunderstanding (Part 2) 296: Chapter 296: Misunderstanding (Part 2) Vice Principal Fleck also reached out and heavily patted Su Ming on the shoulder, praising him.
âYou did very well this time, not only did you save our people, but you also killed Bink!â
âItâs what I should have done.â
Su Ming humbly replied.
âDonât be so modest.
I will commend you for your service, and weâll settle everything once we get back.â
The more Vice Principal Fleck looked at Su Ming, the more he liked him.
In his eyes, Su Ming was like a piece of warm jade, always able to shine with unexpected brilliance.
âIsnât that because I taught him well?
Fleck, can you give me back the bonus you docked from me?â
Mia rubbed her hands with a grin, constantly thinking about the money that had been withheld.
Even a little bit counts.
âYou really have a thick face, but let it be, Iâll waive your punishment for the sake of your student.â
Fleck didnât bother to argue with Mia.
It was at this moment that Major Gene came over and respectfully reported to Vice Principal Fleck.
âLord Fleck, the King of Baisitan has come to visit.â
Upon hearing this, the smile on Fleckâs face immediately faded, and his expression grew somber.
Just then, a series of footsteps was heard, and the King of Baisitan walked in with Martins and others.
âAh, Brother Fleck, Iâm so relieved to see you unharmed.
The worry Iâve been carrying has finally been put to rest.â
âThank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but Iâm afraid I canât quite accept it.â
Fleck coldly responded.
âOh, this whole situation is really a misunderstanding, I apologize to you!
Let me explain it to you slowly, I really didnât expect these rebels to be so bold as to kill the envoy I sent out, and even more audacious to attack you all.â
The King of Baisitan explained very sincerely.
âA misunderstanding?
I have nothing to say to you.â
Fleck didnât give the King of Baisitan any face and, with a cold snort, turned and walked away.
Seeing that Fleck didnât give him any face at all and was obviously extremely angry, the King of Baisitanâs gaze then fell on Mia and Su Ming.
He rolled his eyes and immediately came up with an idea.
The King of Baisitan walked up to Mia with a smile.
âBeautiful Miss Mia, this really is a misunderstanding.
Brother Fleck is just hot-headed at the moment, could you please speak a few kind words on our behalf?â
Mia couldnât be bothered with Baisitan and turned her head to look aside.
âThis is a little something from me, I hope you wonât disdain it.â
The King of Baisitan then took out a sleek black bank card and handed it to Mia.
Miaâs eyes lit up when she saw the black card.
However, she didnât show any emotion, and after taking the card, she sighed and looked towards Su Ming.
Noticing this, the King of Baisitan immediately understood and quickly took out another black card and handed it to Su Ming.
Su Ming looked at the bank card in his hand and, with a strange expression, glanced at Mia.
He was unsure how to handle itâas taking it seemed wrong, and not taking it also seemed wrong.
At this moment, the King of Baisitan said with a laugh,
âThe two of you, our country and the Federation have always been friendly.
This really was an accident; I hope you could help clear up the misunderstanding.â
Mia looked at the black card in her hand, sighed, and then said to the King of Baisitan,
âYour Majesty, itâs not really that we blame Lord Fleck for his anger.
This incident was extremely heinous and had very serious consequences.â
âI understand, could you please help me out?â
âAh, itâs not that I donât want to help, but because of those rebels, we lost two students.
The compensationâŠâ
âIâll pay for the compensation!â
The King of Baisitan didnât even think before saying,
âThere are still so many injured people.â
âAll the medical expenses, nutrition fees, and lost wages, Iâll cover them all!â
âWhat about the costs for the damaged weapon maintenance?â
âIâll cover every last bit, all of it!â
âThe King of Baisitan is indeed generous.
I believe thereâs definitely some misunderstanding in this matter.
Please rest assured and go back, Iâll certainly try to persuade Vice Principal Fleck.â
Mia immediately promised.
âThank you so much, Iâll leave everything in your hands then, I must be going!â
The King of Baisitan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Miaâs words.
âTake care!â
Mia nodded in response.
Baisitan then left with Martins and the others.
After the King of Baisitan had left, Su Ming turned to Mia and said,
âIs this really okay?
Because of them, weâve had casualties.
Although this rebellion might not have been his wish, he canât be completely free of blame.
If it werenât for his actions, we wouldnât have had any deaths.â
Mia, after hearing this, showed a self-deprecating smile and said,
âSigh, what else can we do?
Not to mention whether this was the King of Baisitanâs intention, even if it were his orders, what can we do to him?
At this critical juncture, the Federation would only attack a Neutral Country if they had their brains kicked in by a mule!
So this is the best we could do.â
âThat makes sense.
By the way, which bank issued this card?
I remember the last time the Deputy City Lord of Black Flame City also gave you this type of card, why do they all like using this card?â
âHeh, you donât understand, huh?
This is a bank card issued by the Morris Interstellar Bank.
This card doesnât recognize the person, only the card itself.
Whoever holds this card can withdraw the money in it at will.â
âIt can work like that?
The Federation doesnât care?â
Su Ming asked, quite curiously.
âCare?
How would they care?
You think theyâre pushovers?
There are a lot of ins and outs the Federation doesnât want to get involved with, I wonât go into that now!
Letâs get the supplies loaded, after thatâs finished, weâre setting sail back to the school.
This trip out, you really struck it rich!â
Mia said to Su Ming with a chuckle.
âItâs passable, I suppose.â
Su Ming was in a very good mood, although he didnât know how much money was on the card.
But he felt like the income from this trip should be enough to pay off the money borrowed from his family, and probably much more.
âPassable?
Youâre being too humble and thatâs over the top.
This time not only did you make a fortune, but you also earned much credit for the accomplishments.
Youâll definitely get plenty of academic credits once youâre back.â
Mia said with deep feeling.
âHow many academic credits will I get?â
Su Ming asked with interest.
âHow would I know?
Wait until the military and the academy conduct their joint evaluation.
Come on!
Letâs head back to the ship, let the others do the rest of the work.â
Mia stretched and replied.
âAlright!â
Su Ming nodded slightly in agreement.
Three days later, all resources within the entire mining base were transferred onto the Red Teeth.
The Red Teeth didnât stay in the Abayk Kingdom; it immediately set sail and departed.

Inside a spacious and grand meeting room, with a dazzling crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, exquisite oil paintings on the walls, heavy hand-woven carpets on the floor, and a huge circular meeting table at the center,
Representatives from different Neutral Countries sat in their meeting chairs.
Upon closer observation, one could see that among the 32 Neutral Countries of the Danube Star Sea, 20 were seated here.
This means excluding the 3 Neutral Countries that had fallen and the 6 that were close to the Imperial Army, only three Neutral Countries were not present.
