Chapter 979: Chapter 968: Interstellar Plane 4

Xia Yue and her group were up next.

"We only have this much," Xia Yue had the System transfer 300 yuan from Yan Mo’s account. She had intended to transfer it all but feared they wouldn’t believe her, so she left some behind.

Showing the individual the balance on their Neural account, one showed two hundred, and the other a little over two hundred.

"You’re joking with me, how can it only be this little?" The man, looking at the balance displayed, immediately said viciously.

"It’s really only this much. We’re from the Marginal Star, with no parents here. The money for the spaceship tickets was saved up from doing a lot of work. We’re going to Aida to study," Yan Mo calmly told him.

"Really, we’ve only got this much left. We thought of working part-time and studying diligently in Aida, working while attending school to earn money," Xia Yue hurriedly added.

"Just look at our clothes and Neural, you can tell we’re not rich," Yan Mo said, pointing to their belongings, with the Neural being of the most basic design.

These were given out for free by the government so that every citizen would have one, of course, those who were wealthy and powerful could afford the best ones.

The thug in charge of collecting the money scrutinized them seriously, but he felt that their demeanor didn’t resemble that of poor people. After all, they looked nothing like the others who were panicking; instead, they seemed calm.

Uncertain of what to do, the thug immediately returned to the lead robber and explained the situation of Xia Yue and Yan Mo.

After listening to his subordinate, the Boss’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of light passing through them, and then he looked in the direction of Xia Yue and Yan Mo.

Worried that they might have given themselves away, Xia Yue and Yan Mo looked down at the floor.

As such, the Boss couldn’t see their expressions and judge whether they were telling the truth, so he walked over.

"You two don’t have any money?" The Boss approached them, his voice booming.

"Yes, all our money went to these tickets, we’ve just got this little bit left," Yan Mo looked up at the Boss, his eyes flickering with a hint of panic, sensing something off about their earlier demeanor, so he changed tack.

"What’s your relationship?" the Boss continued to inquire.

"We’re boyfriend and girlfriend," Yan Mo said cautiously.

Xia Yue, pretending to be scared, burrowed into Yan Mo’s embrace, her head buried in his chest, her body trembling as if in fear.

Seeing them like this, the Boss dismissed the suspicions in his mind.

"Tsk, search them, see if they have any Space buttons," the Boss ordered one of his subordinates to frisk them.

"Yes, Boss," the subordinate immediately went to search Yan Mo and found nothing. Then he prepared to search Xia Yue.

"She’s a girl; it might not be appropriate for you to search her, right? Why not let a woman do it?" Yan Mo quickly stood in front of Xia Yue, pleadingly looking at the lead robber, noting there was a female thug present.

"Enough talk, hurry up," the lead robber said impatiently.

"Move aside," the subordinate, hearing the Boss’s order, tried to pull Yan Mo away to reach for Xia Yue.

Xia Yue frowned, the last thing she wanted was to be touched, it was disgusting.

Should she tell Yan Mo to endure it or to fight back?

Yan Mo thought it best to avoid further trouble for the sake of losing money, but given the situation, he decided against it and told Xia Yue no need to endure.

With incredible speed, before the lead robber could react, Yan Mo appeared behind him, one hand clamping down on his neck, the other holding a knife against it.

Xia Yue kicked the nearby subordinate away and then stood back-to-back with Yan Mo, wary of any surprise attacks.
