Capítulo 1205: Chapter 617: The Azure Dragon’s Recklessness (Part 2) “The relevant proposal information will be announced to the public after it is organized.” Gusta disappeared wordlessly, his silence unexpected by many. However, after the meeting ended, the former president immediately sought out Anatoli and sarcastically remarked, “Lord of Dusk Hermit truly lives up to his name, charging valiantly for the Azure Dragon.” “You probably wouldn’t be this excited even if you became the president yourself.” No matter how deep his scheming, Gusta couldn’t possibly be without resentment this time, especially toward Anatoli. Betrayers are more hateful than enemies. Yet Anatoli was quite leisurely, not angered by these words, and said while walking, “Gusta, there’s no need to be so indignant.” “If you’re really angry, you can go vent at the Azure Dragon. You were already planning to disappear completely, yet during the entire meeting, you didn’t even dare to retort? No temper at all?” “Isn’t it because you were afraid that if you annoyed the Azure Dragon, they would spare no expense to find you?” Gusta’s face was deathly pale, Anatoli smiled, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, “I guess your visit to me this time isn’t purely out of resentment for betrayal, right?” “You and I are partners, isn’t it normal to find our own way out in times of trouble, how could it be considered betrayal, or perhaps you’re jealous?” Gusta’s pupils slightly contracted, a ripple appeared on his deathly silent face, but he quickly suppressed it. Yet Anatoli always kept his head down, a clinking sound came from the screen on the other side, as if looking for some metal utensils, and he continued, “Jealous that I satisfied the Azure Dragon, avoided being purged, and didn’t have to abandon the forces I painstakingly built.” “After all, you can now only watch as others wantonly ridicule and slander the once invincible Master of Black Hole Hall, without any means.” The screen in front blurred for a moment, the signal seemed unstable, Anatoli satisfactorily picked up a long slender bronze kitchen knife, weighing it in his hand. Gusta remained expressionless, “Be careful of being reckoned with, the Three Great Civilizations won’t easily let this go, who knows what secrets they’ve uncovered deep within the Red River Star Stream.” “Then there’s no need for Your Excellency to worry.” Anatoli paused for a moment, then continued, “Oh, and if you’re planning to ambush me, you better think carefully whether I’m deliberately provoking you today.” The current virtual screen disappeared, and the expression on Anatoli’s face gradually subdued, focusing on cutting, the bronze kitchen knife meticulously dealing with the white and purple fish meat on the metal chopping board. Meanwhile, the interstellar alliance has already announced to the public a series of proposals made by the High-level Life Form Union at the meeting. The first and foremost is the change of the president, with the Azure Dragon replacing Gusta as the new president. This point didn’t surprise too many people, as even those unaware of the inside story could see that the Azure Dragon’s prestige surpassed Gusta’s. However, the second point caused a huge stir. “…Since its establishment, the civilization supervision seat established at the beginning has perfectly fulfilled its responsibilities and obligations, always allowing the Union to grow on the right path and completing its historical mission. It has been decided by an internal vote that the civilization supervision seat will be abolished from today…” Many people and factions have keenly realized that the High-level Life Form Union has entered a whole new stage. However, there was a third announcement that left some people puzzled. “…It has been decided by a joint vote to abolish the internal Supervision Committee of the Mechanic Association.” This announcement was very brief, and immediately upon its release, discussions began within the Mechanic Association, with many mechanics incredibly excited and loudly proclaiming “Azure Dragon Divine Craftsman is mighty!” And many interstellar professionals have already begun analyzing, with their main focus being that this should not fall within the responsibilities of the High-level Life Form Union. Does this to some extent mean that the Union’s power is greater? Everyone is very clear that these matters are inextricably linked to the Azure Dragon. Just as the outside world was fervently analyzing the interstellar alliance’s announcement, speculating on what role the Azure Dragon played in it. One even more explosive news swept in–the Three Great Civilizations jointly issued an apology statement. The wording by the spokespersons varied, but the meaning was all similar. This action was due to the civilization’s internal lack of thorough scrutiny, and a series of incorrect intelligence, leading to a misunderstanding. They emphasized that the Chaotic Star Gap is indeed a place where criminals gather, but the Azure Dragon was not implicated and actively cooperated in clearing out criminals after the situation brewed, being a model of the interstellar. They should make a formal and solemn apology to the Azure Dragon and compensate for a series of losses. In fact, ever since the end of the Chaotic Star Gap incident, many have been speculating on how the Three Great Civilizations would determine the tone of this attack. Whether to strongly reprimand and continue to target. Or keep silent and swallow the bitter pill. Or even bow their heads to admit mistakes and issue an apology. Under normal circumstances, the last one is not a possibility, or rather, it wouldn’t be in the form of an “apology.” An open apology greatly damages the civilization’s dignity, and its impact is hard to measure substantively. At most, they’d play it cool, and then reach various agreements with the Azure Dragon in secret, and the matter would be settled, this is the template for similar situations in the past. This update ıs available on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 So many people were shocked, not expecting the Three Great Civilizations to actually yield positively. And more ordinary life forms were incredulous, in their minds, the idea that “the Three Great Civilizations are nearly invincible” still existed, even though the Azure Dragon had a superior battle record. But they found it hard to clearly understand the inside details, instinctively believing that even so, the Three Great Civilizations could still deal with it, hence their surprise. While a segment of fanatics, led by the “Chief Dragon Fan” community, indulged in a grand celebration and reckoning, wandering among those who previously opposed them, mocking viciously. The slightly settled interstellar once again boiled, an idea gradually rooted itself in the minds of life forms informed of the related news– “The Three Great Civilizations seem to really be unable to do anything about the Azure Dragon.” In Sheffield’s secret base, after the Three Great Civilizations’ apology statement was first issued. Costate, Diuous, and Zhang Hengyu contacted Li Ming again. “Unbind the Mechanic Association, abolish the Supervision Seat, publicly apologize to you, we’ve completed everything, can we negotiate now.” Costate’s face was tense. Each of these demands can cause significant foreseeable impacts on the Three Great Civilizations and other civilizations. And continuously enhance the Azure Dragon’s prestige, belonging to invisible losses. Even so, they had to suck it up as this is the price of defeat. “Hmm, since you all have shown such sincerity, we can talk now.” Li Ming nodded, smiling as he said, “Everyone, make your offers.” He wasn’t planning to employ divide and conquer tactics, last time was just to annoy them a bit. These three parties are not fools, they would definitely communicate wildly in private, preventing him from playing them against each other, so it’s better to talk together. “According to interstellar customs…” Costate opened his mouth, “The redemption price of an X Level life form is fifty billion Star Coins…” “That’s too low.” Li Ming immediately interrupted, frowning, “The profit from one X Level life form is far more than fifty billion.” However, he had looked into the “market rate,” Costate wasn’t really trying to deceive him. And this price was still the transaction price between civilizations. Originally born before the interstellar alliance was established, at a time when there were many warring civilizations, initially, of course, they fought to the death. Later, as the fighting continued, the number of civilizations dwindled, the battlefield narrowed, and captives became mainstream. The transaction price being too low had no deterrent effect, while too high a price was unaffordable. At that time there were no dominant powers, and mutual captives occurred, equivalent to facilitating oneself as well. This “market price” gradually set, maintained to this day. Until now, when the Three Great Civilizations have conflicts amongst themselves, they still redeem captured X Level life forms at this price, regardless of strength. The transaction price between civilizations and individuals is lower, for instance, last time, when Li Ming captured the Empire’s X Level life form, the Empire even prepared to use a mere ten billion to deal with him.
