Chapter 520 Visit

Starlight City, Dawn Hall.

City Lord Faraon and City Lord Alicia sat in the first row.

Numerous councilors and military officers sat behind them, discussing with worried expressions.

“Oh, the New Year is almost here, and the financial accounts are empty, not a single penny. The people below haven’t been paid for two months.”

Lin Aojun said with a sigh.

“Alright, what’s that? It’s only been two months since they haven’t been paid. In our Thirteenth District, not only can’t we pay salaries, but we’re also short on water, and food prices have doubled. The Council has sent me three consecutive warning letters telling me to lower the prices. How am I supposed to lower them?”

Xiao Lie also grew more aggrieved as he spoke.

“Everyone, your problems are nothing. Our Di Yan Star is even worse off. We lack water, money, and our equipment is aging; even breathing is becoming a problem. If the funds aren’t approved today, it’s over.”

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open, and Dragon White walked in with Secretary Cloud Soft.

The noisy conference hall immediately fell silent.

Dragon White walked to the podium, his gaze sweeping over everyone present as he spoke.

“Everyone is here. Let’s begin today’s meeting.”

“Council President Long Bai, I have something to say.”

Lin Aojun stood up.

“Speak.”

Dragon White replied calmly.

“Our finances are truly too difficult right now; we can’t pay salaries at all. And with the New Year approaching, can the Federal Government allocate the funds?”

Lin Aojun had also gone all out.

“On our Di Yan Star, not only do we urgently need funds, but we also need water resources, food…”

“Weapon production commissioned by the Federal Government, as well as some construction projects, also require settlement payments.”

Seeing this, everyone else also began to speak up.

After listening to everyone’s requests, Dragon White’s brows furrowed. In truth, it wasn’t that she was unwilling to allocate funds, but that the Federal Government’s treasury was empty.

Thinking of this, Dragon White turned to look at City Lord Faraon.

“Don’t look at me, I’m practically starving to death right now.”

City Lord Faraon replied with a stern face.

Dragon White then looked at City Lord Alicia.

“I don’t have much money left either.”

City Lord Alicia replied helplessly.

Dragon White was silent for a few seconds upon hearing this, then spoke.

“Since that’s the case, then let’s use ore to offset the funds.”

“Ah, distributing ore again!”

“No way!”

“This ore can’t be eaten.”

Xiao Lie and others said with worried expressions upon hearing Dragon White’s words.

In fact, Dragon White also didn’t want to distribute ore, but there was no other way now. The treasury truly had no money left, only a large amount of mineral resources transported back from the Three Great Forbidden Zones.

In other words, the Federal Government was now so poor that it only had ore left.

“Silence!”

Dragon White said to everyone.

The people present immediately quieted down.

“I know distributing ore is indeed not ideal, but there’s no other way right now. Once the Federal Government’s finances ease up, we will allocate supplies and funds to you.”

Dragon White said calmly.

“Alright.”

Everyone could only agree helplessly.

“Meeting adjourned!”

Dragon White immediately gave the order.

“Yes!”

Xiao Lie and others responded.

A few days later.

Old Galaxy, outside the Azure Blue Star Defense Line.

The starry sky rippled, and then the Holy Punishment Fortress, Gray Angel, and other ships emerged from Subspace.

Inside the Gray Angel’s central control room.

Dragon Dust sat in the command chair, with Su Ming and Dragon Ying standing on either side.

Dragon Ying reported to Dragon Dust.

“Grandfather, we have arrived outside the Azure Blue Star Defense Line.”

“We’ve finally returned safely. Immediately instruct the Azure Blue Star Defense Line to grant passage. We’re heading directly to Tianlan Star.”

Dragon Dust let out a slight sigh of relief and instructed Dragon Ying.

During this return journey, apart from waiting for the hyper-light flight device to cool down, they never stopped along the way. And they maintained complete silence throughout, fearing any problems.

“Yes!”

Dragon Ying immediately sent a message to the Azure Blue Star Defense Line.

Soon, after receiving the message and verifying the identity and authority, the Azure Blue Star Defense Line shut down the Curvature Interference Device in some areas.

The Gray Angel and other ships re-entered hyper-light flight, entering the defense line and heading towards Cuilan Star.

At this moment, Dragon Dust stood up from the command chair and said to Su Ming with a smile.

“Su Ming.”

“Lord Long Chen, speak!”

Su Ming replied politely.

“We’ll arrive at Tianlan Star later. When we do, I’ll arrange for the personnel who migrated from Saint Jocks. You go report this matter to Council President Long Bai, and tell her to prepare for negotiations.”

Dragon Dust instructed Su Ming.

“Okay!”

Su Ming nodded in response.

Several hours later, Starlight City, Central Interstellar Airport.

The Level 5 mothership, prilika, slowly landed in its designated berth.

Click!

The exit opened.

Su Ming walked out and entered the underground passage, walking forward in high spirits. He was finally back.

However, just as Su Ming reached the exit, he suddenly heard two guard soldiers complaining ahead.

“Oh, when will our salaries finally be paid?”

“They’ll be paid soon, but it’ll be in ore.”

“No way, paying in ore? Is that even allowed? The price of ore is plummeting!”

“Do you have a better idea? Something is better than nothing, right? After you get it, sell it quickly, or the price will drop even more later.”

“That’s true.”

Su Ming was also stunned, his face filled with disbelief. The Federal Government was actually paying with ore. It seemed things must be very difficult for Dragon White’s side.

Thinking of this, Su Ming immediately quickened his pace and left.

Evening.

Starlight City, Federal Administrative Building.

Su Ming walked in through the main entrance to the lobby. The entire lobby was very lively, filled with chatting military officers.

Su Ming glanced around and noticed many unfamiliar faces.

However, he didn’t pay much attention and walked towards Dragon White’s office.

“General Su Ming!”

Along the way, military officers and officials who saw Su Ming respectfully greeted him.

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

Soon after, he arrived at the door of Dragon White’s office.

The office door was open.

Su Ming walked straight in and saw Vice City Lord Okens reporting to Dragon White.

Feilong and Jon stood nearby. When they saw Su Ming enter, they greeted him in low voices.

“Su Ming!”

“What are you two doing here?”

“We’re here to report on work. Where have you been? Haven’t seen you in a long time?”

“Went to Saint Jocks to handle some matters. Now I’m back to report.”

“Did you succeed?”

“Hard to say.”

“Then you’d better not report yet.”

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

“You’ll hear it yourself.”

Feilong gestured to Su Ming.

Su Ming looked at Okins curiously, only to see him holding a pile of application forms, speaking with an embarrassed expression.

“Lord Long Bai, the Ministry of Materials is already trying its best to suppress domestic prices, but the effect is not ideal, and all aspects require a large amount of funds. Especially with so many personnel withdrawn this time, the Federal Government needs to pay for pensions, resettlement, bonuses, and a series of other expenses. Each of these items alone is a massive amount of money.”

After hearing Okins’s words, Dragon White’s expression grew even more silent.

She knew very well that Okins was right, but the problem was that the Federal Government was truly struggling financially right now, so she spoke.

“Hmm, I understand. Please compile a report for me based on the lowest standards first.”

“Sigh~ Alright, I’ll go now.”

Okins could only respond helplessly.

At this moment, Su Ming saw that Okins had finished his report, so he walked up.

“Lord Long Bai, Lord Okins.”

Okins saw that it was Su Ming and said with a chuckle.

“Su Ming, you’re back.”

“Yes, Lord Okins.”

Su Ming replied politely.

Dragon White turned to look at Su Ming and spoke coolly.

“Su Ming, how did things go with Saint Jocks? Was the item retrieved?”

“It wasn’t retrieved.”

Su Ming shook his head in response.

“I see.”

Dragon White’s brows furrowed upon hearing this. Although she had anticipated this outcome, she was still somewhat disappointed to hear it confirmed.

“However, although the item wasn’t retrieved, we brought the people back.”

Su Ming said with a smile.

“Who did you bring back from Saint Jocks?”

Dragon White and the others were also slightly stunned upon hearing this.

“Everyone.”

Su Ming replied with a chuckle.

Okins and Feilong’s eyes widened in horror upon hearing Su Ming’s words, and they spoke in terror.

“Su Ming, are you crazy? You couldn’t get the item, so you tied them up?”

“Not tied, invited!”

Su Ming explained with a smile.

“Isn’t that the same? Is there a difference?”

Okins and the other two felt like the sky was falling.

The Federal Government’s situation was already terrible, and those people from Saint Jocks had intricate connections with various forces within the Federal Government’s territory. If they were all tied up, the country would surely explode.

Dragon White also frowned, but she calmly asked.

“What exactly happened?”

“You misunderstood. They came back with us voluntarily.”

Su Ming explained to Dragon White and the others.

“How is that possible?”

Okins found this explanation incredibly absurd.

“It’s true. What happened was, the main forces of the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom and the Dark Star Empire launched a surprise attack on Saint Jocks, intending to take over the entire Saint Jocks, so we intervened and rescued the people.”

Su Ming explained to Dragon White and the others.

Okins and the other two said in utter shock.

“Are the Dark Star Empire and the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom idiots?”

“Damn it, have they lost their minds? Doing this, aren’t they pushing Saint Jocks to our side?”

“Aren’t we just winning by doing nothing?”

“Well done!”

Dragon White’s cool eyes flickered, and she said with great pleasure.

At this moment, Okins asked very puzzledly.

“Su Ming, I still don’t quite understand, why did they suddenly go crazy and attack Saint Joe? This is like stabbing themselves!”

“Yeah?”

Feilong was also completely baffled.

“I got an inside scoop: the economies of the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom and the Dark Star Empire have completely collapsed.”

Su Ming explained to them.

“Haha, so that’s it. I was wondering why they would do something like that? But they deserve it. Let them fight us to the death, and they finally couldn’t hold on, could they?”

Okins burst into laughter upon hearing this, unable to close his mouth.

In fact, war is a double-edged sword. Unless it’s an overwhelming victory, it often results in mutual destruction.

Therefore, it was impossible for the Dark Star Empire and the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom to frequently wage war without any consequences. Especially in the end, they always lost more.

Moreover, their foundations simply couldn’t compare to the Federal Government, so a collapse was very normal.

“Su Ming, where are the people from Saint Jocks?”

At this moment, Dragon White asked.

“They are all in the Holy Punishment Fortress. Lord Long Chen is currently settling them in. Tomorrow, they will personally visit the Federal Government.”

Su Ming said to Dragon White.

“Good. Okins, start preparing for the reception the day after tomorrow.”

“Understood!”

“Also, spread the news of Saint Joe’s visit.”

Dragon White instructed Vice City Lord Okens.

“Alright, I’ll go do it now!”

Vice City Lord Okens was beaming with joy.

He had been worried to death, but now everything was resolved, and he might even make a huge fortune. Those people from Saint Jocks were not ordinary fat cats.

After Dragon White finished her instructions, she turned to Su Ming and said.

“Su Ming, you did well this time. Go and get some rest first. Attend the reception the day after tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Su Ming nodded, then turned and left.

Evening.

Throughout Starlight City, all virtual advertising spaces, television channels, newspapers, and the Star Cluster Forum suddenly began broadcasting and reporting on the visit of Saint Jocks.

L1 District, Su Family Castle, Observation Deck.

Su Mulong, Berudo, and Farsad sat at the dining table, eating dinner while discussing with worried expressions.

“Old Su, how are your funds?”

“Don’t even mention it. All the money has been invested in weapon production, and the Federal Government’s payment isn’t coming back for now. Even if it does, it’s offset with ore.”

Su Mulong replied irritably.

“This can’t go on. Money is needed for everything, we’ll collapse!”

Farsad said worriedly.

“Damn it, of course I know that, but the problem is the Federal Government also doesn’t have money to pay us.”

Su Mulong had a terrible headache.

Just as the three of them were looking worried, Butler Xilun rushed in and shouted to Su Mulong.

“Master, good news, great news! The Federal Government’s economy is saved!”

“What good news?”

Su Mulong and the other two were stunned and turned to look at Butler Xilun.

“The people from Saint Jocks are visiting!”

“Really?”

Su Mulong and the other two were also full of surprise.

“It’s true, if you don’t believe me, look!”

Butler Xilun quickly raised his wristband and tapped a few times, turning on the observation deck’s projection equipment to display the news.

“Hello everyone, I’m Danni, your host. This time, we have invited the renowned economic expert, Mr. Mankoli. Now, please welcome him to comment on Saint Jocks’ sudden visit!”

At this moment, an old man wearing a white shirt and glasses spoke.

“I believe everyone is very clear about one thing: the Federal Government’s financial report has been in deficit for a hundred consecutive years. Our economy has been in a very sluggish state for a long time, and the situation has worsened in recent years! Recently, the CMT index for economic health has even hit a new historical high.”

“If this negotiation can successfully lead to cooperation, the Federal Government’s economy will be saved.”

Berudo and Farsad looked at this scene and discussed in surprise.

“How did these guys from Saint Jocks suddenly come?”

“That’s strange. Aren’t they afraid of angering the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom and the Dark Star Empire?”

“Who cares, this is good news!”

Su Mulong replied excitedly.

“Right!”

Berudo and the other two replied with a smile.

At this moment, the citizens within the Federal Government were extremely excited after receiving the news.

Almost everyone was discussing the visit of Saint Jocks.

The next day, morning.

All main streets in Starlight City were completely blockaded by fully armed soldiers, and traffic entered a Level 1 control state.

A huge roar came from the sky, and mechs patrolled in mid-air, with security levels directly maxed out.

A dense crowd of people gathered on both sides of the street, excitedly watching.

At this moment, top-tier black hovercars drove from a distance, and many excited people on the scene waved and shouted.

“Look!”

“It’s the Saint Jocks motorcade!”

“Welcome!”

Federal Government Building.

Brilliant colorful streamers were pulled up, and a bright red carpet was laid on the ground.

Countless reporters stood on both sides of the main entrance, excitedly conducting live reports.

“Dear sirs and madams, I am Zhang Ya, a reporter from World Daily. We have just received exciting news. Saint Jocks, after being attacked by the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom and the Dark Star Empire, has now completely relocated to the Federation. Today, Dragon White, the acting Council Speaker of the Federation, will personally receive them for discussions. Once cooperation is reached, the Federation’s stagnant economy will take off.”

At this moment, black hovercars drove over from a distance.

Click!

Countless flashes went off.

These black hovercars drove directly into the Federal Government.

Inside the Federal Government banquet hall.

Dragon Dust, Okins, Faraon, Alicia, and others were waiting for the guests to arrive.

The people present discussed anxiously.

“Why haven’t they arrived yet?!”

“What are you anxious about? This time is different from before; they will definitely come!”

“That’s true.”

At this moment, the ceremonial officer at the door shouted loudly.

“Mokdo, Lord of the Morries Family, with his family, has arrived!”

“Taifulu, Lord of the Shenji Family, with his family, has arrived!”

As the ceremonial officer’s words fell, Mokdo and others, dressed in black suits and looking spirited, walked in with their families.

“Welcome!”

Dragon Dust and the others immediately stepped forward warmly and shook hands with Mokdo and the others one by one.

“Lord Long Chen, Lord Faraon, Lord Alicia, you are too polite. We came in a hurry; I hope we are not disturbing your country.”

Mokdo and the others replied with a smile.

“It’s a rare visit from you all; we’re delighted and couldn’t be happier.”

Alicia replied with a beaming smile.

“That’s good. By the way, where is Lord Long Bai?”

Mokdo turned his head and looked around, but did not see Dragon White.

“It’s still early. Lord Long Bai will arrive shortly. Shall I send someone to remind him?”

Dragon Dust said with a smile.

“No need. It just so happens that there are many old friends I haven’t seen in a long time; we can chat.”

Mokdo said with a smile.

“Good!”

Dragon Dust and the others nodded.

At this moment, Patriarch Komete, Su Mulong, District Chief Xiao Lie, and many council members and generals rushed forward to exchange pleasantries.

For a moment, the shorter Su Mulong, Berudo, and Farsad were squeezed out.

“Damn it, so many people.”

Su Mulong said in a bad mood.

“Sigh, no choice! How about we go up later?”

Berudo also had a bit of a headache looking at so many people.

“Alright!”

Su Mulong also looked helpless.

At this moment, Patriarch Komete excitedly reached out and shook hands with Patriarch Mokdo, greeting him warmly.

“Lord Mokdo, long time no see!”

“Komete, long time no see.”

“You didn’t say you were coming this time; we would have picked you up!”

“No need for such trouble. Eh? Why don’t I see Su Mulong? Didn’t he come?”

Mokdo turned his head to look around, and seeing no sign of Su Mulong, he asked curiously.

Patriarch Komete and the others were also stunned.

At this moment, Su Mulong, who was outside the crowd, heard Mokdo call his name and raised his hand, shouting.

“Here!”

Mokdo saw Su Mulong waving and quickly said to Komete and the others.

“Please make way!”

Komete and the others also bewilderedly made way.

Mokdo immediately walked towards Su Mulong and shook his hand very warmly.

“My dear brother Mulong, it’s been a long time, and I’ve missed you so much!”

“Ah?”

Su Mulong was stunned when he heard Mokdo’s words.

“I’ve always wanted to visit you in the Federation, but I didn’t expect that once I delayed, it would be for so long.”

Mokdo said apologetically.

Su Mulong’s mind immediately crashed; he even suspected if Mokdo had taken the wrong medicine. Why was he so enthusiastic today?

Although their relationship was decent, it was usually difficult for him to even visit Mokdo.

Berudo and Farsad looked at this scene, both with expressions of disbelief.

At this moment, Taifulu, Gene Reese, and the other six patriarchs also stepped forward one after another, warmly shaking hands and greeting Su Mulong.

“Brother Mulong!”

Su Mulong, bewildered, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with them one by one.

Patriarch Komete and the others looked at this scene, all with bewildered expressions, discussing in confusion.

“What’s going on today?”

“Are Old Su and them so close?”

“I haven’t heard anything about it?”

At this moment, Su Feng, Su Zhentian, and the others were also incredibly shocked to see the people from Saint Jocks surrounding their father.

“Am I seeing this correctly? All seven great families of Saint Jocks are exchanging pleasantries with father?”

“Are we that close to them?”

“How could that be? Even the Shenji Family, with whom we have a slightly better relationship, rarely interacts with us.”

Su Feng said with great certainty.

For a moment, everyone was completely baffled.

In the corner, Jon said to Feilong.

“Feilong, aren’t we going up to say hello?”

“There are too many people, and it’s useless to go; they won’t bother with us. Look, besides the city lords of the Three Cities, the seven major arms dealers, and senior council members, how many can even get a word in?”

Feilong said to Jon.

“That’s true, but speaking of which. The young ladies of these great families from Saint Jocks are all very exquisite, like lotuses emerging from water. I wonder if my few rascals have a chance?”

“I advise you not to fantasize. Those who can be brought along are highly favored, all cherished darlings, and won’t easily marry outside.”

“I know.”

Jon replied awkwardly.

At this moment, Su Ming, dressed in a general’s uniform, walked in. He scanned the hall and saw Feilong and Jon standing in the corner, then walked towards them.

“Su Ming, you’re finally here.”

Feilong and Jon smiled as they saw Su Ming approach.

“You two came so early. Wasn’t it announced for ten o’clock?”

Su Ming raised his wristband and checked the time, saying.

“Announcement is one thing, but who wouldn’t come early for an occasion like this?”

Jon replied with a smile.

“That’s true.”

Su Ming nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Mokdo, who was chatting with Su Mulong, caught sight of Su Ming and immediately said to Su Mulong.

“My dear brother Mulong, please excuse me for a moment. I need to greet General Su Ming.”

“Uh, alright.”

Su Mulong was stunned for a moment, then instantly reacted, understanding what was happening.

Then Mokdo walked directly towards Su Ming, and Taifulu and the others followed suit.

“General Su Ming!”

Mokdo walked up to Su Ming and said with a smile.

Su Ming saw Mokdo and the others had arrived and politely replied.

“Lord Mokdo.”

“The last birthday banquet was not well hosted, and then so many things happened afterward, I never had a chance to talk with you properly. Please come to my home for a visit sometime.”

Mokdo extended a very warm invitation.

“Alright, I will.”

Su Ming replied politely.

Then Su Ming noticed Moyote, who was beside Mokdo, staring at him, and immediately said apologetically.

“Mr. Moyote, I apologize for any offense regarding the hangar incident. Please forgive me.”

“It’s fine. Thanks to you, if it were me driving, it would probably have been tough.”

Moyote replied with a wry smile.

“Hmm.”

Su Ming nodded.

At this moment, Taifulu and the others also walked over and warmly greeted General Su Ming.

“General Su Ming!”

“Lord Taifulu, Gene Reese…”

Su Ming replied politely.

All eyes in the hall were focused on Su Ming, and people whispered in discussion.

“Strange, why are these people from Saint Jocks so enthusiastic towards Su Mulong and General Su Ming?!”

“Yeah, usually I’ve never seen them so enthusiastic about anyone.”

“I remember that City Lord Gakels previously sent three invitations to the Morries Family, but they were all politely declined!”

“Did the sun rise from the west today?!”

“Indeed!”

At this moment, Mokdo and the others chatted with Su Ming for a while, then said to him.

“Su Ming, we’ll excuse ourselves for a moment; there are some other friends over there.”

“Alright!”

Su Ming replied politely.

Mokdo and the others left with a smile, but Hillis, Violet Lolo, Helena, Olisa, and others did not leave. Seeing their elders depart, they walked over.

“Su Ming!”

“You all came too.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“What? You don’t welcome us?”

Violet Lolo replied with a beaming smile.

“How could that be?”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Then if we settle in the Federation in the future, Mr. Su Ming, will you take good care of us?”

“That’s right, we’ve come here from far away and don’t have many friends here.”

Helena and the others said with a light laugh.

“Ahem, certainly, I’ll take care of you.”

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

Hillis looked at this scene, covering her mouth and smiling as she said.

“Mr. Su Ming, don’t be so nervous; we’re just chatting with you.”

“That’s right.”

Olisa echoed.

Jon, standing nearby, looked at this scene with an expression of great envy and said.

“Old Fei, how can the gap between people be so vast?”

“Don’t compare yourself to Su Ming. He’s a monster; his strength is absurdly powerful, and what’s more, he’s quite handsome and popular.”

Feilong said with emotion.

“That makes sense.”

Jon nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Dragon White, dressed in a star-patterned council robe, walked into the banquet hall.

Now, many council members and generals, seeing Dragon White, immediately stopped talking and bowed respectfully.

Although Dragon White had only recently taken office, she had already successfully established authority within the council.

At this moment, Dragon White saw Su Ming surrounded by Hillis and others, chatting and laughing, and was also momentarily stunned.

However, she only glanced at him before walking towards Mokdo and the others.

Mokdo and the others, seeing Dragon White, quickly went to meet her and greeted her respectfully.

“Council Speaker Dragon White!”

“Lord Mokdo, and all distinguished guests from Saint Jocks, I represent the Federation in welcoming you. It is a great pleasure to meet you.”

Dragon White said calmly.

“Lord Long Bai, you are too polite. When you assumed the position of acting Council Speaker, we wanted to visit, but too many things delayed us.”

Mokdo and the others said one after another.

“Hmm, it’s getting late. Let’s go to the conference room in the back to talk.”

Dragon White nodded slightly and said.

“Good!”

Mokdo and the others replied.

“This way, please!”

Dragon White led Mokdo and the others towards the small conference room in the back.

Su Ming glanced over and saw that the participants from Saint Jocks were the patriarchs of the seven great families, while from the Federation, it was Council Speaker Dragon White, the three major city lords, Okins, and several important council members. The rest did not follow inside.

It was clear that they did not want the specific content of this negotiation to be known.

At this moment, those who couldn’t participate in the negotiation whispered among themselves.

“It’s finally starting. I wonder if they can reach an agreement this time?”

“That’s unclear. Pray it gets settled soon; I’m almost starving to death here.”

“What’s starving to death? I’m just hoping the Federation gets through this crisis so that when my fallen brothers collect their pensions, they can get a higher tier.”

At this moment, Helena and the others were asking Su Ming with some concern.

“Mr. Su Ming, the Federation won’t make things too difficult for us, will they?”

“That’s right! Things won’t fall apart, will they?”

In fact, the people of Saint Jocks were even more nervous. They had nowhere else to go now. If the Federation asked for too much, they would truly be finished.

“Don’t worry, Lord Long Bai is a very principled person.”

Su Ming comforted Helena and the others.

“Hmm!”

Hillis and the others felt a little more at ease when they heard Su Ming’s words.

Inside the conference room.

Dragon White, Mokdo, and the others took their seats at the oval conference table, and then the conference room door closed.

“Lord Mokdo, we deeply regret and are saddened by what happened in Saint Jocks.”

Dragon White said calmly.

“We are very grateful to the Federation for its timely intervention this time.”

“These are all things we should do, but shouldn’t we discuss some matters?”

“No problem.”

“Regarding the resources we pledged in Saint Jocks, how do you plan to handle them?”

“Lord Long Bai, we will certainly return the Federation’s resources in full, but a portion has already been used to create the Sixth-Generation Mech, Dark Dragon God. Therefore, we will directly transfer ownership of the Dark Dragon God to you. As for the remaining portion, we will make up for it, and we will also not charge you any liquidated damages.”

Mokdo said with a smile.

Dragon Dust couldn’t help but glance at Mokdo. The older, the wiser. This guy settled the matter of misappropriating their supplies in a few words and even did them a favor by not charging liquidated damages.

“Alright, what are your plans next?”

Dragon White agreed to Mokdo’s proposal, then asked with concern.

The matter to be discussed now was the true priority, concerning the future direction of the Federation’s economy.
