Chapter 94: 058 Mutual Probing with the Second Prince
The scheduled meeting with the Second Prince was set for the following morning.
Before Yang Ming departed, Kolev and Lyu were busy selecting the style of a “model villa.” It seemed to be some kind of prefab villa that could be ordered online and installed within half a day.
Yang Ming didn’t quite understand the direction of interstellar real estate development and had no time to fuss over these minor details; he had only one thing to consider now.
How to seize this opportunity to interact with the Second Prince.
The place where the Second Prince of the Luofeng Empire resided outside the palace was one of those towering buildings that Yang Ming had seen many times.
Taking an elevator crafted with anti-gravity technology, Yang Ming went straight to the top floor of the building.
Four brawny men stood in the four corners of the elevator, watching Yang Ming’s every move with the eyes of hawks.
Yang Ming tidied his attire and hairstyle, his tailored gray vest paired with a white shirt, while his neat short hair made him look energetic.
The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing two more detection gates that could see through a person’s bones.
Yang Ming walked in calmly and confidently.
Before arriving at the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk, Yang Ming had no way to be sure if he would be flagged by the scanning-type detection device.
But now, he could be completely at ease about that.

Two green lights signaled a successful clearance.
A beautiful woman in an elegant long dress stood ahead and bowed to Yang Ming,
“Mr. Ming, His Highness has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me.”
Yang Ming calmly followed the woman, walking along a carpeted hallway toward the faint sound of music.
The rhythm of the beat…
Could the Second Prince be partying early in the morning?
“His Highness is exercising,” the woman said softly.
A group of female attendants approached from the front, some holding clothes, others carrying trays. Upon encountering Yang Ming, these attendants would respectfully stand against the wall with their heads lowered, showing respect for the Second Prince’s guest.
Yang Ming looked straight ahead, presenting himself as highly upright.
He intended to maintain a serious expression throughout the day, given the importance of this opportunity, but… two minutes later… when Yang Ming arrived at the spacious gym where the Second Prince was working out…
The pulsating melody.
A middle-aged man dressed in a pink bodysuit, blue yoga pants, and a purple headband was mimicking the aerobic athletes on the big screen, performing all kinds of vigorous moves, liberally releasing masculine hormones.
Damn, this was practically visual pollution!
Especially since, with the image of the Second Prince’s tight “perky butt” in his mind, Yang Ming almost couldn’t resist turning his head and dry heaving a bit.
Yang Ming endured for seven or eight minutes, maintaining a smile the whole time.
Finally, the Second Prince, panting heavily, hands on his hips, stretched in a post-exercise routine as the curtain slowly rose, revealing the area behind.
Yang Ming raised an eyebrow.
Behind the curtain was a live studio, and the men and women who had just been doing aerobics on TV were now lined up, bowing and greeting the Second Prince. Three drones responsible for filming the program gently descended, quickly collected by staff members.
Was the curtain just superfluous then?
“His Highness enjoys the texture of the curtain,” the lady officer seemed to have noticed Yang Ming’s puzzlement and softly explained.
A female guard stepped forward and whispered a few words beside the Second Prince.
The Second Prince turned around, revealing a charming smile on his chiseled, handsome face, then enthusiastically exclaimed in a tone reminiscent of a madman,
“Woohoo! Yang Ming! Haha! I didn’t expect you to be so young! My ears are almost numb from my nagging little sister! Come on! Over here!”
Yang Ming immediately went up to him.
The Second Prince naturally put an arm around Yang Ming’s shoulders like they had been friends for years.
The looks in the eyes of those male and female guards turned quite sharp, fixing intently on Yang Ming.
Yang Ming, with his hands behind his back, followed the Second Prince forward, smiling, “It’s an honor to receive an invitation from a prince of the Empire. If I tell my parents about this, they might be too excited to sleep.”
“Hahaha! Are you teasing me?”
The Second Prince chuckled, “What is royal power without sovereignty? You can consider me your peer, a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid! Oh, sorry, I meant to say I’m the one who’s good-for-nothing, no offense intended.”
Yang Ming laughed, “Your Highness’s humor leaves me unsure how to respond.”
“Relax! Don’t feel any restraint!”
The Second Prince patted Yang Ming’s shoulder and stepped to the side, retreating while speaking, “Feel free to wander around here; I’m off to take a shower and change into something more formal. If you want anything to eat or drink, just tell these beauties, and they’ll fulfill your every need!”
Yang Ming nodded with a smile, though pondering in his heart.
This Second Prince, is he just a carefree playboy or a deep and inscrutable one?
“Mr. Haton, I would advise against going for such a large villa directly.”
Lyu pointed to the 3D projection in front of them, earnestly stating,
“First of all, the area of this chemical plant is limited. You’ll need to make full use of the land resources here in the future, and building a large structure would require filing in advance with the industrial bureau, which would increase time costs.
“Secondly, do you intend to replicate your estate from the Cas Federation here? The meaning of such a large estate, aside from being vast and enormous, is it meant to provide dormitories for employees?”
