Chereads / Bounty of The Stars / Chapter 90 - Precious

Chapter 90 - Precious

The two of them discussed a bit more while touring the Jeager. Mr. Gregor had agreed to sell the ship to Kita. And Kita was genuinely happy about that. The Jeager was a fine ship that covered a lot of bases. It almost had everything he wanted for his ship. With a bit of upgrade, The Jeager would become a really good ship for him.

After touring the Jeager for a bit, they both exited the Ship. Everything was in order and now, Osritch and the other Dealer would handle the rest of the process. Before they parted their ways, Gregor turned towards Kita.

"Mr. Thiels, Thank you for coming today. I really enjoyed hearing your story. The Jeager is really close to my heart. She doesn't deserve to be kept inside of an hanger like this. She was meant to travel the stars. That's why I'm relived that I've found someone who'll use her properly. Please treat her well, and She'll treat you better." The Man said with a smile.

"I'll make sure to treasure her." Kita replied with a smile.

They both shook their hands and then they parted their ways.

Kita was escorted back to the shuttle he had arrived in, after they settled in, the shuttle took off. While he was in the shuttle, He gave Osritch a call.

"Hey, How did the meeting go?" Osritch asked instantly after picking up the call.

"It went good, Mr. Gregor agreed to sell the Jeager to me."

"GREAT! How did you manage that? Do you know how many people failed before you?"

"Well, We just talked for a bit.", Kita didn't go into the details. She didn't want to share other's life story around.

"Well, great. I'll handle the transfer procedures. As soon as you're back here, Come meet me. We need you in person for a few things." Osritch said.

"Good, I'll be on my way."

"I'll get on it." He said as he was about to end the call.

"I need something else from you." Kita said before Osritch could end the call.

"Of course, What can I help you with?" The man said with a smile. More work meant more money in his pocket. He was already set to get a good commission off of this purchase. So he wasn't gonna say no to more money.

"I'm gonna need a crew for her. She's a massive ship. I can't operate her alone you know."

"Ah, Right. I thought you already had a crew that you're gonna use. If you need one, I'll see what I can do. I can probably call a few guys and see if anyone's available." Osritch said while scratching his head.

"Well, You do that. I'll make sure to properly compensate you." Kita replied.

"Of course, Of course."

"Well, I'll leave you to your devices then." Kita said as he ended the call.

After a while, Kita arrived back at the space station. He took a pod back to his Hotel room. As soon as he entered the room, Noir jumped to him.

"Hey buddy are you hungry? I'm sorry, I'll feed you right away.", Kita said as he went to feed the cat. He had been gone for quite a while. It took some time to get to and from the planet.

As he put the cat food he had bought onto Noir's plate, Noir jumped on it and devoured it like a champ.

"Good good, eat more." Kita gave him some more food.

Kita kneeled as he saw Noir eating. After making sure that he didn't need anything more. Kita got up and went on to take a shower.

After freshening up a bit, Kita sat on his bed and looked up available tickets for the next ship to His destination.

It seemed that the next ship was in 18 hours. That was good. He quickly book a passage on board the ship and then laid back on his bed.

As if on cue, Noir quickly jumped on his chest as soon as he laid back.

"Hey buddy, All filled up?"

"Meow..", Noir replied with a satisfied expression.

He sat on Kita's chest as Kita began to pet him.

While petting Noir, Kita slowly fell into a deep slumber.

After a good sleep, He woke up. He found Noir sleeping on his chest with him. After gently moving him to the bed, Kita quickly looked at the time, He needed to catch the Ship. But fortunately, there was still a few hours to kill before he would need to go.

He quickly freshened up a bit, and wore a new set of cloths. When he got out of the bathroom, he found that Noir had also woken up.

"You hungry?"

"Meow?" Noir rotated his head to the side.

"Good. Let's go." Kita picked him up and headed outside. He wanted to see something that was unique to this system and this station in general.

There was a Weapon armament shop in the station named Aftiss Firearm. It was a well known weapon brand that only had a few stored throughout the empire. It wasn't often one would come across their store. Kita wanted to see if he could buy something for himself. Preferably a personal gun.

He quickly took a Pod to the shopping district and began walking around. He was slowly going towards the location of the shop. Noir on his shoulder as usual.

When he stopped to grab something to eat. that's when he noticed them. It wasn't obvious at first, and they were trying to conceal them to their best. But Kita could still understand that they were following him.

He had this feeling since he left the Pod, Someone was following him.

"Hmm, But what are their intentions.", Kita wondered. It's not like they could corner him and take all his money. He didn't have any on him. So, that probably wasn't it.

Instead of walking away with the food he just bought, he chose to sit down. He needed to know who they were, As He sat facing them, He saw them moving to keep their distance themselves.

From their attire, They were professionals.

So they weren't working independently, Someone had most likely put them on his tail. He wondered why.

Kita wasn't really afraid of them. Maybe he couldn't handle all of them at once, but he could probably handle them one on one.

"Let's wait until I'm done shopping.", Kita muttered before he took a sip of the coffee before him.
