"I would like to, but you would have to be able to afford it."
Facing the old captain's inquiry, Duanmu Huai chuckled. In fact, the old captain didn't know that Duanmu Huai had already received his compensation.
It was the design schematics for the black hole bomb.
When the detonation of the black hole bomb had failed earlier, Aikute had scanned the entire device and linked it to the central computer of Exelion for data sharing. It was at that time that Duanmu Huai had secretly kept the design for the bomb.
This was quite the toy; it would be relied on in the future when dealing with the Strict Compliance Protocol and the Void Swarm, among others.
