On the spaceship, Rush Clovis was still constantly looking for opportunities to get close to Padmé. Even wearing a seat belt seemed to be unable to stop him. His actions gradually began to become unscrupulous.
Padmé caressed the back of his hand and wanted to reach out and kiss him.
Although The Rock Johnson was also sitting next to him, in Clovis' view, it was just a robot and it didn't matter. They had long been accustomed to being surrounded and served by robots, so even if they applauded for love in front of the robot, they would never do it.
question(certainty).
Anakin Skywalker, who saw this scene in the driver's seat, was extremely angry. He turned to Padmé's captain of the bodyguard who was sitting in the passenger seat and said: "Look at that guy's mouth! I bet he at least stretched out his mouth just now."
It’s a meter long!”
The captain of the guard didn't know what to say, so he smiled and shrugged.
Anakin looked at the surveillance screen, smiled coldly, and said to himself, "Fortunately, I was well prepared."
As he spoke, he turned on the intercom and pretended to exclaim, "Oh no! Be careful! There's an accident ahead!"
"As he spoke, he suddenly turned the spacecraft to the side.
It had not yet left the atmosphere, and this sharp turn immediately caused the people in the cabin to fall to one side.
Rush Clovis' mouth was only 1 centimeter away from kissing Padmé's face. He was very unhappy at being thrown away, "Is this the best pilot in the galaxy? Padmé. I think I
I can send it for you...hey..."
Before he could finish his words, the seat belt that Anakin had just broken was suddenly disconnected! Clovis was suddenly thrown out and hit the frontmost seat.
"Clovis! Be careful!" Padmé stood up subconsciously, unbuckled her safety belt and walked over to help Clovis up.
Anakin, who happened to arrive at the cabin, saw this scene and his eyes burst into flames. He walked forward in three steps and said without politeness at all: "I'm sorry, sir, there were two spaceships colliding in front of me just now, but you were lucky."
Very good, the problem of damaged seat belts was not discovered until the spacecraft crashed."
As he spoke, he grabbed Clovis's shoulders with both hands, and actually grabbed Clovis, who was actually quite burly, in one fell swoop, pressed him down on the seat one space away from Padmé without any explanation, and then knocked on the door.
Knocking on the seat belt, "Okay, this seat is absolutely safe!"
Rush Clovis was confused the whole time and could only let Anakin control him. After the other person left, he realized that he had been placed one seat away from Padme, "Eh? This...
This pilot is simply..."
Padmé smiled apologetically and said, "Haha, this person is a soldier, so his style is a bit vigorous, don't mind."
Unexpectedly, in Clovis's eyes, her smile was just to comfort him. He thought that Padmé had changed her mind and was beginning to look forward to something more long-term.
Padmé took one look at Clovis's radiant expression and knew what he was thinking.
She understands very well, for such a man, if you give them a look, they will think you are interested in him; if you say something to them, they will think it is an expression of love; if you invite them to a meal, they will start talking under the table.
We’ve booked a hotel room; if we can hold hands or something, that’s fine, and maybe we’ve even thought of the name of the child.
The spacecraft flew out of Coruscant's atmosphere and left the gravitational circle, started the hyperspace engine, and went to Cato Neimoidia, a world of wealth famous for its luxury.
After Rush-Clovis sent the identification code, the Trade Federation fleet on alert outside the planet released the spacecraft.
Anakin drove the spaceship to Bridge City, the capital of the planet Cato-Neimoidia. This is a city built on several huge bridges, with magnificent scenery and extremely luxurious palaces.
"This is my first time coming to this planet..." Padmé looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, almost intoxicated.
"Haha, this is the world of wealth that the Neimoidians have spent centuries creating. It is the most luxurious and comfortable planet in the galaxy." Clovis said.
"But...why would the Neimyindians allow you to be here?" Padmé asked meaningfully.
"The Trade Federation has been owing money to our Interstellar Banking Association. In fact, many industries on this planet have been mortgaged to us and exchanged for huge loans." Clovis said very proudly, while holding his hands
And quietly wanted to put it on Padmé's slender waist.
Anakin, who was piloting the spaceship beside him, had eyes that were about to burst into flames. Padmé also took into account his feelings and quickly slapped Clovis's hands away.
At the same time, Padmé also asked: "There have been rumors that the Trade Federation is helping the separatists, so how much money did they ask for a loan from you, and they actually used the property of Cato Neimoidia as collateral?"
"The most recent one is 150 billion credits. As for the uses, it's security expenses and escort expenses." Clovis said.
"That's money for the war."
"If you work in a bank, you need to ignore these messages, because it will make you lose your impartiality." Clovis shook his head and said, "For example, a person withdraws money at the bank and then buys a blaster rifle.
, went on the street and killed two people. Do you want to blame the bank? And does the bank also have to investigate this aspect? So how do you define what this person will use the money for? Believe me, this will only
It makes you completely unfair."
The spacecraft landed in an extremely luxurious palace according to the navigation, and a group of people stepped off the spacecraft.
However, several people walked towards Padmé, which surprised Padmé, "Lot-Dude? Why are the Congressional Representatives of the Trade Federation here!"
Lot-Dude was obviously very surprised by Padme's visit. He pointed at Clovis angrily and said: "What on earth are you thinking?! Why did you bring the Senator from Naboo here!? Don't you know?
Is today an important meeting?! Not only did you postpone the meeting without permission yesterday, but you actually brought an outsider with you today!"
Clovis said coldly: "I'm going to visit my own property. What's the problem?"
Lot-Dude said angrily: "This is just a temporary mortgage! Temporary!"
"Let's wait until you find a way to repay the money." Clovis waved his hand and ignored him.
He turned to Padmé and said: "Do you remember what I said yesterday? I am making an important investment. Please allow me to delay for a moment. I will finish discussing the investment-related matters and come to accompany you to explore Bridge City.
style."
Then, Clovis placed Padmé in the mansion and left to have a meeting with Lot-Dude.
Anakin Skywalker whispered: "Lot Dude! This person is also very suspicious. It should be said that compared to the Interstellar Banking Association, the Trade Federation's attitude towards separatism is more obvious. Now these two super
If a corporate giant is so close, there must be some conspiracy."
"I'll try to see if I can get some information," Padmé said.
"I'll go with you, it's very dangerous here." Anakin said and was about to walk into the palace.
However, the palace guard stopped him directly and said, "I'm sorry, servants are not allowed to enter such a noble place."
