Chapter 604: Chapter 598: What kind of people are these? (Part II)

Finn Lewis didn’t really care, although he did feel a bit irked by the girl laughing in front of him. However, what she was laughing at was none of his business.

“Jasmine Davis, since you know that his Highness is a member of the nine-star royal family, you should show him some respect.” Dunn Monty, a little annoyed, stood up from his seat.

However, Dunn stood up quickly but sat down even faster. Jasmine Davis, who was just standing there laughing uproariously, heard Dunn’s remark and without any hesitation, she threw a spinning kick at him. Dunn managed to raise his arms to block, but the kick landed on his arm, forcing him back into his seat.

“It seems like you’re really getting old, and you seem to have forgotten whose territory this is. Don’t forget, from the moment you got on board, your lives were in my hands. I’m helping you out of old acquaintanceship, otherwise, do you think I would risk coming here?” Jasmine Davis sneered at Dunn Monty, and then continued.

“Wow Boss, you had an old flame? ‘Old acquaintanceship’, was she your ex?” The man piloting the spaceship upfront suddenly whistled and couldn’t help but speak out loud.

“Shut up, get lost, or you know the consequences.” Jasmine Davis snapped back immediately.

“Alright, alright, boss. I’ll keep my mouth shut.” The pilot promptly silenced himself.

After that, Jasmine Davis turned to look at Finn and the others, and then snorted disdainfully. “It’s not that I don’t respect him. Yes, the Lewis Family is the only one in the nine-star royal family, but so what? The family wealth of the Lewis Family was basically sold off a few thousand years ago; what’s left now? Apart from a royal status. Also, it seems that the descendants have all switched to other families. These disgraceful descendants would be better off gone. But speaking of which, is there any descendant of yours among them?”

This last sentence was directed at Finn Lewis, who was exasperated. Damn it, you belittle me so much, and now you’re asking if I have descendants. How the hell would I know! Besides, if such a son were to exist, he would be better off dead.

“Aren’t you guys supposed to explain some things to me?” Without responding to Jasmine Davis, Finn Lewis turned to both Dunn Monty and Thomas Calvin and asked bluntly.

Dunn Monty scratched his head awkwardly, thought for a while, then said somewhat hesitantly, “Well, Your Highness, just ask what you want to know. I will tell everything I can.”

“You really don’t know anything?” Jasmine Davis looked at Finn Lewis in astonishment.

“No, I only know that they said this star system is my private property. They’ll take me back to the Milky Way Star Area to inherit my property, and then I would have the right to pardon their crimes and allow them to return to the Supervision Bureau.” Finn briefly summarised the agreement the three of them had.

“You want to go back?” Jasmine Davis glanced at Dunn Monty.

“Yes.” Dunn Monty nodded without hesitation.

“I don’t know what’s good about that shabby place. Well, it’s none of my business anyway, but I’ve started to admire you, kid. You’re an aboriginal from a primitive planet. Alright, even though you are royal, that just means your life’s genetic code is that of the imperial family. You barely know anything, yet you daringly followed them out of your planet. I admire you,” Jasmine Davis gave Finn Lewis a thumbs-up.

Even though Jasmine Davis’ words were tough to bear, she did speak the truth. Finn Lewis really left his planet knowing nothing. However, if Finn Lewis didn’t have his own trump card, he probably would not have dared to follow them in the first place.

“I have some questions to ask. Shouldn’t you guys explain some things to me?” Finn Lewis thought for a moment, then looked at them and asked.

“Just ask. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll explain a bit to you. But some things are useless to you even if you know them, just treat them as stories to listen to. I must say, I’m quite impressed by how calmly you’ve been taking all this. As for the rest, if you can successfully accept your inheritance, you’re just lucky,” Jasmine Davis said.

Although this woman didn’t say much, Finn Lewis could feel that Jasmine Davis’s attitude towards him had changed slightly. At least, when talking to him, she no longer referred to herself as ‘this old woman’, but simply as ‘I’.

“First question, what is the nine-star royal family?” Finn Lewis blurted out the question he had on his mind. Of course, Finn knew that his trip this time was nothing more than to get the inheritance and to get the protection of the Supervisory Bureau. As for other things, even if Jasmine Davis didn’t bring them up, Finn was well aware. Despite being royal, if you really think of yourself as royal, then you would be mistaken.

In Flame Nation, it’s been said that people become cool once they leave, just like tea becomes cold when people go away. Now, Finn wouldn’t fail to understand this saying. And, countless of years had passed, this saying wouldn’t fail to stand true. When his own so-called son tried to kill him for his inheritance, what else is there to say? The metaphor, ‘One’s tea will become cold as soon as one leaves’, had been irrefutably affirmed. Therefore, even if Finn could get the inheritance righteously and obtain direct protection, he would still count his blessings. He hadn’t thought about anything else.

As for the privileges that the royal status brought, Finn Lewis didn’t even think about it. However, what he said and what he was thinking could be two different things. First of all, wouldn’t Finn need to understand everything first?

“The royal family, the term ‘royal’ in your understanding, is a generalized term or a class. It is divided into nine grades and is strictly limited in numbers. There hasn’t been any new royal family in the Galactic Federation for at least 200,000 years, or rather, the count has never been increased.” Jasmine Davis sat opposite Finn Lewis and spoke casually.

“Since its establishment, the numbers of the royal family have been steadily decreasing. Many families have completely lost their heritage, their original treasures gradually being divided among people. Currently, the number of royal families isn’t very large, probably several dozen families large and small. Among these royals, there is only one family of the highest-ranking nine-star royal family. That is the Lewis Family of the once Emperor of the Milky Way Empire, the creator of the Galactic Federation. Having claimed and founded this large and small territory, they gave up their imperial status, formed a federation, ended the wars that ravaged the entire Milky Way, and became the only nine-star royal family. However, their bloodline basically severed sixty thousand years ago.” Jasmine Davis didn’t stall and explained in detail to Finn Lewis.
