453 Who Gave You the Courage? (3)
Xu Jingming rejected Prince Lunardo?
Prince Lunardo frowned slightly and gazed at Xu Jingming. He said softly, “Are you rejecting me?”
“How dare you!?” The silver-haired butler pointed at Xu Jingming and shouted angrily, “His Highness personally extended you an invitation, yet you dare be so disrespectful?”
Prince Lunardo frowned and extended his hand impatiently. The handsome, silver-haired butler immediately stopped.
“I can understand why you can’t bear to leave your homeworld.” Prince Lunardo stared at Xu Jingming coldly. “But doing so will make me very unhappy. I’ll give you one last chance… Are you willing to be my guard?”
“Xu Jingming.” An American from Earth’s upper echelons got up and immediately said, “His Highness is kind enough to offer you another chance! It’s your luck to be His Highness’s guard, and it’s also Earth’s luck! You have to seize the opportunity and consider yourself and your family, as well as Earth. You have to make the right choice!”
“Xu Jingming, you have to choose carefully. Otherwise, you will become a sinner of the entire civilization,” another EU executive got up and said.
Prince Lunardo watched this scene coldly.
He was used to it. Geniuses from weak civilizations eventually bowed their heads to him and became his guards and servants for the rest of their lives.
“Thank you for thinking highly of me, Your Highness.” Xu Jingming bowed slightly. “I can’t leave my homeworld for the rest of my life.”
Many people’s expressions changed.
Prince Lunardo’s expression changed, turning nasty as he stared at Xu Jingming with a livid expression. How dare he!? How dare he!? He didn’t take me seriously at all!
At this moment—
Even if Xu Jingming bowed his head and was willing to follow him, Lunardo wouldn’t accept it. This was because Xu Jingming’s rejection was a slap to his face—his princely face!
“You didn’t seize the opportunity I gave you,” Prince Lunardo said softly.
The atmosphere in the hall froze. Everyone could sense his wrath.
Xu Jingming sighed inwardly when he saw this. He had always been on Earth and had never gone out, yet he had even gotten into such trouble.
He insisted on me becoming a guard and servant for the rest of my life. He took umbrage as long as there wasn’t agreement? Isn’t that too domineering? But so what if he is domineering?
“I’m very curious.” Prince Lunardo glanced at him. “Who gave you the courage to reject me twice?”
“This weak civilization on Earth? No.”
“Or is it that good friend of yours, Tejano?” Prince Lunardo looked at Xu Jingming with a faint smile. “You used your relationship with Tejano to deter the Black Moon civilization. Now, you want to use this to reject me?”
“A punk from a lowly, weak civilization like you…” Prince Lunardo stared at Xu Jingming. “Do you think you can become Tejano’s true friend?”
Xu Jingming’s expression didn’t change.
“Let me tell you a principle: friendship is dependent on background.” Lunardo tapped his finger gently. “Coincidentally, Tejano is also my friend! I’ll ask him now and see if he’s willing to back you up.”
Lunardo tapped a projection.
Soon, they connected across the universe.
Buzz!
A gray-skinned man drinking alcohol appeared on the projection. He had silver-gray hair—it was Tejano.
At this moment, Tejano was in the company of his friends as he chuckled at the projection. “Prince Lunardo, my friend, aren’t you sightseeing and enjoying life in the various cosmic sectors? What made you think of me?”
“Of course, I missed you.” Lunardo smiled brightly. “Moreover, I happened to come to Earth and encountered a lowly kid who doesn’t know better—Xu Jingming. He even said that he was your friend. He doesn’t even take me seriously by counting on your reputation.”
