Chapter 126: A Secret Meeting

“Sonia, go buy another uninhabited island. Make sure it’s a large one,” Harvey said after hearing Sonia’s words and giving it some thought.

He didn’t require Sonia to be extremely powerful, so he wasn’t concerned about whether she might undermine his authority.

However, Sonia’s serious nature meant she imposed certain constraints on herself, discerning what was appropriate and what wasn’t.

Moreover, Sonia had indeed pointed out a significant issue: others would impose their first impressions onto her.

When they inquired about matters related to the Void, if the answers were unsatisfactory, it would easily diminish their trust and admiration for her.

“Your savings currently stand at two billion,” Sonia reported.

“Buying another small island isn’t difficult, but what’s the purpose?” she asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I’ve already fully arranged the matters on Mr. Tony’s side,” she added.

“There are too many eyes and distractions on the island; building a sports ground there isn’t suitable, so buying an island outright is best,” Harvey explained.

“I didn’t establish the Void Cult to create trouble for myself,” he continued.

“If we can’t join, then we’ll just play our own game.”

“If we can’t do as we please on the island, then we’ll go out occasionally.”

Harvey said this calmly.

“You mean with me?” Sonia thought she had misheard.

“Yes, just handle it,” Harvey nodded.

“Understood,” Sonia responded happily, relieved she hadn’t misunderstood.

Previously, when Mr. Kassadin wanted to buy a large cosmic battleship, she thought it was a waste since she couldn’t make use of such advanced equipment.

Mr. Tony also couldn’t study the large cosmic battleship for the time being; it would just be an ornament for now.

But this time, since it was something Mr. Kassadin intended to use, and the island could be developed later to turn a profit even if Mr. Kassadin stopped using it, it made sense.

Besides, Mr. Tony’s factory had already been set up.

After the delivery was successful and taxes deducted, splitting the proceeds with Mr. Tony would bring in over three hundred million.

From then on, an annual income of several hundred million was assured, so money was no longer a pressing concern.

With that settled, Sonia piloted her fighter to set off.

Having previously investigated the nearby islands, she knew who owned them, so contacting them for negotiations wasn’t too difficult.

Harvey knew that in a few days, he could occasionally indulge in other activities and relax, so he paid little attention to the beach affairs.

Tony’s display of Void power, making other members of the Void Cult aware, was also a positive development.

***

Five days passed.

Sonia spent five hundred thirty million to purchase an uninhabited island spanning 506 square kilometers.

Because it was over 400 nautical miles from the nearby Fallen Star Harbor, access wasn’t very convenient, and it was an uninhabited island, so the price was relatively low.

There was also no need to worry about members of the Void Cult showing up.

Harvey brought along various equipment and facilities Sonia had purchased and headed to the island.

Upon arrival, Sonia changed into a white swimsuit; her fair skin gleamed under the sunlight, complementing her angelic features and enviable figure, easily capturing the attention of any man.

“Mr. Kassadin, how does this outfit suit me?” Sonia asked as she stepped out after changing, noticing Mr. Kassadin watching her with a smile.

“Very fitting,” Harvey said, his gaze flickering before nodding.

Hearing the compliment, Sonia happily began setting up the grounds.

Harvey noticed how Sonia’s subtle gestures exuded a captivating charm that stirred desire within him.

But he quickly suppressed it—Sonia was his hired housekeeper.

He entrusted many tasks to her precisely because she was his housekeeper.

As long as his instructions didn’t require Sonia to share intimate moments, she wouldn’t feel wronged or angry.

Crossing that boundary would either require a costly severance or mean he’d develop attachments on Shandar Star.

If that happened, he might never be able to return to Blue Star alone in peace.

Right now, Harvey only wanted physical release, not emotional entanglements.

Blue Star was already filled with beauties, let alone the vast universe.

If he merely wanted to vent desire, there were plenty of options without crossing the line with Sonia.

“The setup is complete, Mr. Kassadin,” Sonia called out.

She sensed his gaze but felt neither fear nor shyness, only happiness, waving cheerfully at Harvey, who was resting under a tree.

Hearing this, Harvey removed his battle armor and changed into male swimwear, revealing a muscular, upright physique.

Sonia was momentarily dazzled, but when her eyes moved upward to his face still obscured by golden light, the romantic illusion in her heart vanished instantly.

“If only Mr. Kassadin’s face were a bit more handsome,” she thought for the umpteenth time.

It was precisely because the fantasy faded that Sonia calmed down considerably.

The two spent time on this deserted island trying various competitive sports.

There were wins and losses; Harvey often lost because he would accidentally smash the ball.

He realized that controlling his strength perfectly to win without breaking the equipment was not easy.

By contrast, Sonia had observed more and, lacking overwhelming strength herself, found it easier to control.

When time was up, Harvey took Sonia back to the Void Island villa; after dinner, they would play again.

They were thoroughly engrossed in their activities.

Sonia felt glad she didn’t have to worry about damaging Mr. Kassadin’s authority in front of other Void Cult members and could play freely.

Harvey was obsessed with the ball, trying every way to perfect his serve.

They played from morning until afternoon.

“Mr. Kassadin, there are new visitors arriving at the temple,” Sonia suddenly received a communication.

After understanding the situation, she apologized with a slight bow, feeling sorry to interrupt the fun.

It was rare that Mr. Kassadin was willing to play with her alone, sharing a secret thrill that made her happy.

But even hidden away on this island without restraints, she still had matters to attend to.

“It’s alright, we can play next time,” Harvey said.

“Is there really a next time?” Sonia asked in surprise.

“This island is precisely for us to relax, of course, there will be a next time,” Harvey replied matter-of-factly.

Sonia’s eyes lit up instantly, nodding eagerly.

“Let’s go. You should quickly change clothes and head over,” Harvey said, noticing her joy.

With a swift movement, he grasped her hand, and in the next moment, they returned to the villa on Void Island.
