Trouble Arrives, Part 2

Mrs. Rhein was not afraid of these princesses. As long as the princes themselves didn’t come knocking, she couldn’t care less about these women.

After all, the Rhein family held some influence on Sky Blue Star and the Main Star. Although Mrs. Rhein had been involved in the child trafficking business, those who had traded with her remembered her fondly—it was all thanks to her vast connections.

So, if anyone wanted to make a move against her, they’d have to think twice about the power backing her.

Nevertheless, Mrs. Rhein mentioned the situation with the princesses to Ye Mo, cautioning her to be careful. If the princesses learned of her existence, they might just try to snatch the children away. After all, these women were quite overbearing!

Ye Mo narrowed her eyes. If it were a fair trade, she would have no objection. But trying to steal the children? Well, they’d have to see if she would allow it.

If they were just wealthy families, Ye Mo wouldn’t mind selling them a puppet child. But if they were royals, she was a bit more reluctant. From what she’d heard, children in the royal family often faced significant risks.

Ye Mo didn’t want to see any harm come to these children!

Mrs. Rhein, on her end, gave no response to the princesses, which left them rather displeased.

At this point, one of the princesses, married to Prince Kaman, came directly to Mrs. Rhein with 100 million star credits, stating that while she only had that much, she wanted a beautiful boy.

Mrs. Rhein apologized, “I’m sorry, Second Princess, but I’m not in contact with that person anymore, so I can’t procure any more children.”

“Then sell me your own child!” Princess Kaman demanded arrogantly.

Mrs. Rhein almost choked on her fury at these words. She responded directly, “I’m sorry, but that’s my child, and I won’t give him to anyone.”

“What did you say? Are you trying to shut down your family’s business on the Main Star?” The Princess Kaman’s father was the Finance Minister of the Main Star.

“Oh? So the Second Princess’s family can control everything on the Main Star now, is that it?”

The Princess Kaman, unaware that Mrs. Rhein had already started a livestream. Anyway, she was not afraid of anything. This woman wanted to buy her child for 100 million? Dream on!

Not to mention that her child was bought for 300 million, even if the princess took out 1 billion, she would never sell her child.

“Mrs. Rhein really doesn’t intend to take care of her family anymore?” Princess Kaman looked at Mrs. Rhein fiercely.

Mrs. Rhein now put on an innocent look, “Second Princess, I am just a weak woman. I can’t afford to offend your family but are you really sure that your family can cover the sky with one hand?”

Princess Kaman snorted coldly, “You don’t need to know about my family’s capabilities. You only need to know that if I want your family’s business to fail, that definitely be it.”

This arrogant display enraged viewers watching the live stream.

“Is this the Second Princess? Married to Prince Kaman? How is she so arrogant?”

“I remember her father is the Finance Minister.”

“No wonder she acts like she owns everything.”

“What’s she trying to do?”

“I just saw her trying to buy Mrs. Rhein’s child for 100 million star credits.”

“Oh my god, does she have no shame? Mrs. Rhein once said her child was worth 300 million!”

“Yeah! Mrs. Rhein treats that child like her own lifeblood. What is this princess up to? Trying to slander Prince Kaman?”

“Pfft, she probably doesn’t realize she’s on a livestream!”

“@Finance Minister, do you know your daughter is acting this arrogantly?”

“I’ll @ the Finance Minister too. Does your family really have absolute control over life and death on the Main Star?”

“This is insane. The Finance Minister has too much power; I’m thinking about running against him myself.”

Meanwhile, Princess Kaman remained oblivious to the fact that her actions had been broadcasted and were now trending.

“Mrs. Rhein, are you sure you want to oppose me?”

“Second Princess, I don’t want to oppose anyone, but my child is my child. My whole family treasures him, and we will not hand him over to you. I hope you can understand.”

“You have ways to get more children, don’t you? What’s wrong with giving this one to me?”

Mrs. Rhein was amused with rage. “Second Princess, not only was this child acquired for 300 million star coins, but I’ve also raised him for over six months. Do you really think we haven’t developed any bond in that time?”

“Is it because you think I’m offering too little?”

“As I said, no matter how much you offer, I won’t sell my child. If you want a child, you should go elsewhere. Stop bothering me. I’m not selling him.” Standing near the door, Mrs. Rhein pushed the princess out and shut the door behind her.

Mrs. Rhein turned to the camera and said, “Luckily, the child wasn’t here, or I’d be scared to death right now.”

The child had been hidden safely away, and no one outside the family had seen him.

At that moment, the door began to bang loudly. Mrs. Rhein pointed the camera at it. “Look at this, everyone. See how arrogant the Finance Minister’s daughter is.”

The online viewers were furious. “@Finance Minister, are you going to do something about this?”

“@Interstellar Police, are you going to step in?”

“Isn’t this threatening public safety?”

“The door’s about to break. Mrs. Rhein, you should hide!”

“Yes! Yes! The people outside look violent. Will they hurt you if they get in?”

Ye Mo was also watching the live stream.

Seeing the princess’s brazen attitude, she finally understood why Mrs. Rhein had warned her. With Mrs. Rhein’s powerful background, Princess Kaman didn’t even hesitate to cross her. What hope did someone like Ye Mo, with no background, have?

Of course, even with Mo Mo supporting her, it wouldn’t make much difference. This was District One, not District Eight, and many people here viewed Mo Mo as a threat.

So if Mo Mo dared to show his face, plenty of people in this district would deal with them.

Besides, there were already many online rumours attacking Mo Mo, claiming he wasn’t even on his warship anymore but had fled to District One.

Mo Mo planned to teleport back soon, intending to bring Ye Mo with him. After all, he wouldn’t let his wife face death!

For Ye Mo, the safest option was to appear on the warship and make a clean getaway.

Ye Mo felt a little helpless. It seemed she couldn’t help Mrs. Rhein, even though it was her puppet children that had caused this trouble for her. After all, every puppet child sold had passed through Mrs. Rhein’s hands.
