any of the three selections, they were given the privilege to
marry as many girls as they wanted and they were allowed to have as many
children as they wanted. For female Glycans who met the same requirements, she
and her family were awarded a lifetime-long financial support. It pretty much
meant they never needed to worry about money.
Chapter 14
In Glycan’s library, when Jason
tried to decode the encrypted navigation data he got from the cruiser, he heard
someone walk in. He slightly opened the door and peeked outside. It was Gloria.
She looked around for a while, then sat near the window.
Jason
came out of the cubicle and cleared his throat. Gloria turned around. They looked
at each other for several seconds. Then Jason walked to Gloria and said, “There
you go.” He handed Gloria the necklace. He noticed the bandages on her wrists.
It reminded him the scene Gloria was tied up and blindfolded. He still couldn’t
understand why somebody did that to a beautiful girl like her.
“Thanks!”
Gloria said gratefully. She took over the necklace and held it in her hand.
“Alright.
You got what you want. I hope you keep your words.” Jason said coldly.
“I will.
I didn’t expect you would give it back just like this.” Gloria smiled nicely.
“Well,
we can have another fight, if you want.” Jason kept a cold face.
“I can
tell, you are very good at fighting.”
“Thank
you.”
They
fell into awkward silence. Jason couldn’t help but stared at her body. She was
like a sculpture combining all the perfect curves together. Her legs were long
and straight; her hips were round and solid; her breasts were pushing up her
uniform proudly. Jason felt no matter what he said, he didn’t have a chance to
score a date. Even though he was standing right in front of her, he felt he was
so far away. He simply gave it up and headed to the vent.
“Even if
you are good at fighting, it won’t get you anywhere.” Gloria suddenly said.
“What?”
Jason stopped and turned around.
“You
should know there is no future for you in the Guardian Fleet.” Gloria said
directly.
“Do
explain.” He didn’t know why Gloria suddenly say something like this. He was
angry, but he wanted to know why.
“Every
year, each first class species can send 200 trainees. Each second class species
can send five. There is no position for you. The only reason you and other
second species are here is to make you think you are part of the family.”
“That is
deep.” Jason said ironically.
Gloria
sensed the irony. She walked to Jason, staring into his eyes, and said, “Give
me an exception.”
“General
Michael R. Stonan.”
“How
come I am not surprised? Yes, he was appointed as the commander of combat
division, but he never had the chance to even give an order.”
“That was
because he passed away before he could start his term.” Jason said furiously.
“And you
think his death was just coincidence?”
“What do
you mean?”
“No
first species would allow that happen. A second species command first species.
What a joke!”
“He was
murdered?” Jason asked in shock. He always considered Michael as his role
model. Whenever he felt he was mistreated or demeaned, he told himself one day
he would be as good as Michael and he would be the commander. Now he felt his
dream shattered into pieces and those pieces struck into his heart like blades.
“Well,
you don’t want to be him anyway. He was a bitch. He did whatever they
requested. He even killed his own kind. He...”
Jason
punched Gloria on the nose before she could finish. She slumped on the floor,
purple blood busting out of her nose. She tried to stand up but fell again.
Jason slowly squatted next to Gloria and said, “I am sorry.” He then grabbed
her hair and pulled her face close to him. Gloria could feel his breath.
“I begin
to understand why those Glycans beat you and tied you up in the food
stockroom.” Jason said slowly as he stared at Gloria. He watched
