The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

Chapter 2272: Tiber-Zane's Concerns

2273: Tiber-Zane's Concerns

It was already February of 11 BBY, and at this moment on the planet Salukami, Tiber-Zane, the leader of the Zahn Consortium, was furious.

"You f*cking told me that I must hand over all the warship wreckage now!! Who gave you the guts to talk to me like that?!" Tiber-Zane shouted at a man in the uniform of a Galactic Empire official in the holographic projection in front of him.

This imperial official was Gerard Meier, the deputy minister of the Galactic Empire's Resource Recycling Department... before...

Yes, he had been fired.

Because the Zahn Consortium had been officially defined as a criminal enterprise by the Galactic Empire, but it could still do business openly, and it was still doing the very sensitive business of recycling warship wreckage, and it could even take root in the main battlefield planet like Salukami, which was itself the result of a large amount of power and money transactions.

And this matter has now been exposed.

It was not exposed to the media and the public, but to people who should not know about it and who had enough ability to ruin it.

So, Gerard Meier was investigated, and was directly suspended for investigation after being verified. If it weren't for the fact that the people behind the Zahn Consortium had enough political means, I'm afraid he would have been in prison now.

This matter would not have caused too much trouble, after all, officials come and go, but capital remains. However, for the Zahn Consortium, it means a heavy blow!

Because once this business is lost, the Zahn Consortium's actions to secretly develop industry and accumulate warships will not be able to be carried out.

This directly affects the goal of Tiber Zahn and Shen Jon to dominate the galaxy! No wonder Tiber Zahn is so angry, he even wants to send assassins to cut the incompetent guy in front of him into pieces!

Gerard-Meyer's forehead was already sweating. He whispered, "The current situation is very bad. If you continue to recover the wreckage of the warship, this matter may be reported to His Majesty the Emperor. Our best choice now is to show that we have given up all the recovery business. After the storm has passed, the emperor will find a way to restart this business."

A mere deputy minister obviously cannot support such a business. Of course, there are bigger officials behind them.

"This is impossible!! It's obviously you who messed it up!! Now both the workers and the factory are working at full capacity. How can we stop it just like that!" Taber-Zane roared, "If we want to stop all this, do you know how much we have to pay?! This means the collapse of everything!!"

Gerard-Meyer's forehead was sweating more and more. Although Taber-Zane was very young, he was ruthless and unscrupulous. He was so experienced that he didn't look like a man of this age. Even if he was given ten more courage, he would never dare to provoke such a ruthless character.

But there is no way, even the person behind them means the same thing - Gerard Meier, you messed up this matter, you have to find a way to smooth it out yourself.

"... I... I think I can give you some compensation in other ways. Maybe the suspension of the recycling business is indeed a big loss, but please rest assured that the money you lose for this, I will definitely help you make up in other areas..." Gerard Meier was a little incoherent, "Yes, yes, I have a good relationship with the Minister of Food Safety! We can do food business! This is also very profitable! No problem... I don't want a penny, I will do my best to help you make money!"

"Food business?" Taber Zane was so angry that he laughed, "You fucking asked me to do food business?! Maybe I can do a 'Galaxy on the tip of the tongue'?"

J Rad-Mer hurriedly nodded as if he had found a savior and said, "That's right! This is definitely profitable! The money earned is definitely not less than that from recycling warships, and it is very hidden! Really, really!"

Tiber-Zane's expression became extremely indifferent, and he said lightly: "Go back and tell that adult that the business of recycling warship wreckage cannot be stopped. For this, I am even willing to be an enemy of the empire."

Gerard-Mer shouted: "No! In this case, everything is over! Everything is over!"

However, Tiber-Zane directly cut off the communication, and Gerard-Mer knelt on the ground in despair, his face dull. Yes, everything is over, including his life.

"Tell me, what's going on?!" Shen-Jon's voice came from behind.

Tiber-Zane's face suddenly became ferocious. He turned his head suddenly, looking at the communicator that was activated at some unknown time and Shen-Jon in the holographic projection, and growled: "Someone is behind us!"

However, the next second, his neck was directly pinched by an invisible force, and even lifted up! Pain and suffocation filled Tiber-Zane's brain.

"Use your brain to think about why!?" Shen-Jon said coldly, "If you can't figure it out, then die."

The strength on the neck was gradually increasing, and the brain was a little confused due to lack of oxygen. Tiber-Zane only had a short time of more than ten seconds! And there was no doubt that Shen-Jon would definitely kill him!

"Black Sun! And Bloody Dawn!!" Tiber-Zane called out these two names with all his strength.

The pressure on his neck suddenly loosened, and Taber-Zane was thrown down by an invisible force. He knelt on the ground and kept rubbing his neck, and then said: "When we attacked the Pike people before, there was no such a big reaction, but recently we attacked Black Sun and Scarlet Dawn, which means that there must be other forces behind them! No, it is almost certainly the Galactic Empire!"

"You didn't even check this matter clearly, and you let Darth-Maul go to trouble Black Sun. It seems that you treat everything I taught you as fart." Shen-Jon said coldly.

"No... I absolutely dare not. It's just that Darth-Maul is a little unruly now. I hope to teach him a lesson through this incident. Even if it doesn't work, throwing him out as cannon fodder can also lead out those behind the scenes!" Taber-Zane said.

"Then since the people behind the scenes have started to act, you should follow the clues and investigate! Instead of staying here to drink and play with women!"

"Please rest assured, my Lord. I have made some arrangements for this matter. Someone from the Galactic Empire is already helping us keep an eye on it. The reason why I am holding on now is that I want to force those people to take more actions! Force them to take more actions." Tiber-Zane said.

"More actions?"

"I have received news that the Galactic Empire will organize a cleanup operation on the planet Felucia in the future, and the Pike people will bear the brunt."
