Chapter 275: s.p.a.ce Travel!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pablo and Salvatore were initially puzzled as to why Jordan was so polite to Brad.
In their hearts, Jordan was their master, who was always superior and overbearing.
He was the most domineering and mighty master in the world!
!!
Although Jordan had been hurt by Hailey, he had never bowed down to a man or allowed himself to be humiliated.
They were relieved to hear that Jordan wanted to take Brad to s.p.a.ce.
Indeed, Jordan was still the same Mr. Jordan that they were willing to work for for the rest of their lives!
“What do you mean?” Brad asked, a little bewildered.
Jordan continued pretending to be friendly and he said, “You know who Elon Musk is, right? It’s the guy who’s working with manned rockets.”
“Oh right, the UFO-shaped aircraft you just drove into was given to me by him.”
“As you know, his commercial s.p.a.ce travel business has been successful but, so far, no one except astronauts has been willing to try it.”
“Mr. Howard, you’re so mighty and your martial arts skills are incredible. You must be very brave.”
“How about this? I’ll sign you up and pay the 150 million dollars for the ticket and let Musk take you to s.p.a.ce for fun?”
Brad was completely dumbfounded. “You want to send me to s.p.a.ce?”
“Hahaha.”
Pablo and Salvatore both laughed and said, “That’s right, Mr. Jordan is going to send you to heaven!”
Jordan held out his hand, signaling for them not to laugh. He then continued to speak to Brad in a “friendly” manner.
“How can you say that, Mr. Howard? That’s called s.p.a.ce travel, which is going to be a future trend. Only wealthy people like you can afford to experience it, Mr. Howard. Ordinary people won’t be able to do it even if they want to.”
Brad obviously became a little more anxious but on the surface, he pretended not to care.
“Hah, s.p.a.ce travel? Sure!”
“You’ve agreed, huh? I’ll call Musk now and have him prepare for it.”
As Jordan spoke, he immediately made a video call to Musk.
As soon as the video call started, Brad saw the business maniac, Musk.
“Hi, Jordan!”
Musk greeted Jordan happily.
Brad, on the other hand, was astonished. “d.a.m.n it, he really knows Musk!”
Although Brad relied on the Howards’s strong domestic roots, their international influence was not at all comparable to that of the Steeles.
They didn’t know the Gates family or the Musk family at all.
Jordan smiled and said, “Musk, I have a friend here who wants to join your s.p.a.ce trip. I’ll pay the 150 million dollars for him.
After hearing this, Musk immediately got excited, “Oh, really? Let me see which hero is so bold.”
Jordan pointed his phone’s camera at Brad and said, “Mr. Howard, say hi to President Musk.”
Although Brad had been impolite to Jordan, it was obvious that there was hatred.
As the scion of a wealthy family in the capital, he was still very polite and cultured when facing an internationally renowned figure like Musk.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Musk!” Brad said softly.
Musk was still smiling pretentiously as if he were possessed by an alien.”Wow, so you are this bold hero!”
“To tell you the truth, I have invited many rich people in the US to go to s.p.a.ce to have some fun but none of them has dares to say yes. Even Jordan doesn’t dare to go to s.p.a.ce!”
“You are the most daring one I’ve met! Welcome! I will send you to the sky without any problems!”
Despite praised by Musk, Brad was still extremely displeased.
“d.a.m.n it, I can’t believe that even Jordan doesn’t dare to go to s.p.a.ce either!”
For most people ordinary people, s.p.a.ce is strange and full of danger.
Unless they are s.p.a.ce science fiction enthusiasts and people who don’t want to live on Earth, no one would be willing to go such and unfamiliar place.
Jordan said, “Musk, make the arrangements. It’d be best if we can send Mr. Howard up in the sky in the next two days.”
“What a coincidence. We are planning another manned flight the day after tomorrow, so bring this man to me quickly.”
“No problem, we’ll leave right now, see you tomorrow!”
Jordan hung up the video call and said to Pablo, “Get the private plane ready, we’ll set off to Texas immediately.”
“Yes!”
Jordan then smiled and said to Brad, “Let’s go, Mr. Howard.”
To his surprise, Brad flew into a rage. “What!?! Who said I’m going to America with you! I don’t want to go to s.p.a.ce! If you want to go, you go yourself!”
After saying that, Brad was about to leave.
However, just before he reached the door, he was stopped by a few of Pablo’s men.
“What do you mean?”
Brad turned to look at Jordan. Although his reflexes were good, he had been stabbed twice.
Those smoke bombs and other weapons on his body were also removed long ago.
In a fight with bare hands and fists, he definitely can’t do anything to this group of people, including Jordan.
Jordan smiled and said, “Brad, you only have two choices now. You either tell me the reason or go on a trip to s.p.a.ce. You choose.”
Salvatore, who was at the side, burst into laughter. “Brad Howard, do you think that Mr. Jordan has no way to deal with you even if we don’t dare to kill you? Mr. Jordan has a hundred ways to kill you! Haha!”
Brad was livid. He clenched his fiss but did not dare to make another move because he was alone and definitely couldn’t get past them.
After a while, Brad guffawed loudly and said, “Isn’t it just a trip to s.p.a.ce? Fine, I’ll go! But I think it’s you who should go to s.p.a.ce to calm down since your wife just gave birth but the baby doesn’t belong to you. Hahahaha.”
Jordan’s gaze was like a knife and he said coldly, “Go on. Once you get to s.p.a.ce, the aliens will not understand your words.”
Brad suddenly got fl.u.s.tered. “You…”
“Let’s go!”
Jordan grabbed Brad and forcibly took him away.
Soon, Jordan and his men took a private plane straight to BOCA CHICA.
It was Musk’s company’s research and development base in Texas, a place that was incredibly unqiue and housed various versions of interstellar s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps on Earth so far.
Jordan and Brad were both shocked by the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps and rockets here.
Although Brad was from a good family background, he had limited horizons and didn’t know what top technology of this world is.
He was just as astounded to be there!
Jordan and Brad entered the R&D room to see Musk.
Musk happily shook hands with Jordan and hugged him.
Musk said, “We had a nice chat on the video call the other day, and I knew that you were now interested in s.p.a.ce travel as well.
“Within 10 years, I will send at least 1,000 humans to Mars, and in another 20 years, this number will go up to 1 million!”
Afterwards, Musk took the initiative to shake Brad’s hand and asked, “Mr. Howard, are you willing to be the first human to go to Mars?
Brad swallowed his saliva nervously. “To… to mars?”
