The Scourge Empire expedition team in the light curtain landed on the Zeluo tribe’s home planet through the virtual world.
This planet was still exactly the same as the Zeluo tribe’s home planet that they had discovered before, empty and silent.
However, the surface of this planet soaked in the virtual world was filled with lavender crystals used as psychic archives.
These crystals were scattered all over the planet, densely filling every street and every building, as if the meaning of the existence of this planet was to serve the Zeluo tribe, and these lavender crystals were their tombstones.
“With so many crystals, what exactly happened in the civil war among the Zeluo people?”
“Who wins? The Upward Boundaries or the Evangelicals?”
“Do you think there are still living Zeluo people on this planet?”
All living beings in the universe looked at this strange scene and couldn’t help but start discussing.
On the light screen, inside Zeluo Star, the lavender mist of the virtual world floated in every corner of the street, and the sky was covered by purple clouds.
The whole planet was filled with a strange atmosphere, as if there were pairs of eyes hidden in these strange mists, quietly staring at every corner of the planet.
Even between the purple clouds that were twisting into whirlpools in the sky, there were faintly a few grand gazes cast down, as if, in the sky, the gods were staring at this planet.
The psykers of the Scourge Empire whispered prayers to the emperor of the empire, and used their psychic energy to support a layer of barrier to block the vague sightlines around them.
They began to investigate the crystals scattered all over the planet, and over a period of time, they obtained a lot of valuable information.
【”The records of an exiled virtual entity researcher provide us with valuable information”】
【”The Zelodust obtained at the cost of life brought a turning point for the evangelicals”】
【”They have the power to fight against the Upgraders”】
【”However, as the shadow of war gradually expanded, the evangelicals’ behavior of burning their compatriots to gain power and the anger and fear of the Ascendants further catalyzed the awakening of the terrifying virtual entity.”】
【”These further awakened virtual entities are driving the war to intensify.”】
【”This feedback loop continues to develop, pushing the Ascendants into a mad abyss, creating even more horrific atrocities.”】
【”Evangelicals are increasingly trying to end the war at all costs.”】
The light curtain reflected the war between the Upgrading Faction and the Evangelical Faction.
The intensity of the war of the Zeluo tribe became more and more intense. The Upgrading Faction squandered the power of the virtual realm more and more frantically at all costs, while the Evangelical Faction continued to burn their own compatriots. Their population was decreasing but they were also becoming stronger.
The collision between the two, which seemed like a god, made all the creatures in the universe who were watching this scene shudder. In this process, countless galaxies were destroyed and created, nebulae were shattered and gathered, black holes were generated and decompressed, and the entire galaxy was burning.
This soul-stirring scene in the light curtain made Bronya’s fingers, which were holding the teacup, tremble slightly.
Toppa, who was sitting opposite her, also wavered slightly.
Looking at this situation and talking about the fate of a small and remote planet, it put some psychological pressure on both of them.
“Great Guardian Bronya, let’s make it short.”
Topa put the teacup on the table and looked at Bronya in front of him:
“In the formal negotiation, can I ask a question?……Which civilization does the starship floating on your planet belong to?”
It belongs to the Scourge Empire……..Bronya’s mouth twitched slightly when she heard Toppa’s question.
Although she expected that the company representative would definitely ask this question, when she actually asked it, Bronya was still a little nervous and could only speak according to the prepared words:
“They belong to a place beyond the universe and have come to us after a long journey.”
“If you are curious about them, I can act as a liaison and try to facilitate a meeting between the company and them.”
Bronya was not sure what the Scourge Empire’s attitude was towards the company, and even less sure how the company would react to the Scourge Empire.
If the company was foolish enough to launch an attack on the Scourge Empire, then at that time, the enraged Scourge Empire would cause such terrible consequences. Bronya could not imagine.
Noticing the evasion in Bronya’s tone, Topar cast a strange look.
“Could it be the Scourge Empire?” Topa said half-jokingly.
“That’s really scary.” Bronya’s mouth twitched without leaving a trace, and she quickly covered up the topic with an awkward smile.
She looked at Topa and said,”Let’s talk about us and the company first, Ms. Topa.”
“Um…….”Topa nodded slightly and handed a bill to Bronya.
“As you can see, the city builders borrowed money from the company and built a large number of mechas to resist the antimatter army.”
“After hundreds of years of compounding interest, this debt has already become an astronomical figure……I think your planet will have a hard time paying you back in the long run.”
Topa said as he looked at the narrow Beloberg and the snowfields beyond Beloberg:
“Your planet is too barren, and the people are having a hard time.”
Topa originally thought that Bronya would be shaken after hearing these words, but Bronya’s expression remained calm, and no emotion could be seen behind it.
This made Topa slightly shocked.
Faced with a string of astronomical bills that were almost too large to write down and the fact that his planet was extremely barren, this great guardian could still hide his feelings under a calm appearance, showing neither sadness nor anger.
Topa has seen many reactions to debt collection, embarrassment, escape,���、Anger, panic, sadness, fear… but never seen Bronya’s expression so calm, as if the company’s pressure was nothing compared to what she had faced before.
“Damn, is the political environment on this planet really that bad?”
“What kind of political monster did this great guardian fight with to hone such spirit?”
Topa couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice.
“So, what does the company mean?” Bronya asked, tapping the documents on the table with her fingers.
“To be honest, at least for now, Belloberg does not have the ability to pay off his debts all at once.”
“and……This debt is a little unreasonable.”
Bronya leaned on her fingers and looked at Topa:
“The invasion of the antimatter army and the long cold wave are all irresistible factors for Beloberg.”
“We are struggling to survive in this situation, how can we have the spare energy to actively repay the company’s debts?”
“According to the laws of most planets……This is a breach of contract caused by force majeure. Beloberg does not need to bear the liability for breach of contract, but only the contractual liability.”
When Bronya spoke, she was a little surprised at her own calmness.
Her mind was very clear. She was not disturbed by Topa’s words at all, nor was she blinded by the messy terms in the contract:
“In other words, these liquidated damages are at least something we shouldn’t bear, right?” (To read the violent novels, go to Flylu Novel Network!)
“Another point……Why is the company asking us for the debt now?”
Bronya looked at Topa and asked with a raised eyebrow.
“You see, the city builders and the company agreed to repay the debt within 25 years.”
“Why did the company wait until five hundred years later to collect the debt from Beloberg?”
Faced with Bronya’s question, Topa’s eyes twitched slightly.
This great guardian is not easy to deal with…….
“It is Beloborg’s obligation to repay the debt. Beloborg should take the initiative to repay the debt at any time, and the company has the right to————”
“The company has the right to collect debts at any time?”
Bronya’s tone suddenly became low:
“Even if it was a planet that had once joined the interstellar peace system, after being evacuated and abandoned by the company, it had just recovered from a long disaster?”
“Even this planet, like the company, believes in conservation.”
“You abandoned us, leaving us to fend for ourselves in the cold wave, and just assumed that we were destroyed?”
“I guess you have even classified this bill as a bad debt. Seeing that we have survived the crisis and returned to the universe, you are happily digging out from a pile of old bills, hoping to collect interest for up to 500 years?”
Toppa’s eyes twitched. She knew that what Bronya said was true.
Yalilo-VI was once part of the interstellar peace system, but the company ran away on the eve of the invasion of the antimatter army.[]
This really puts her at a disadvantage in the negotiation.
“This is a moral issue, Great Guardian Bronya.”Topa realized that Bronya was difficult to deal with:”But debt is not moral.”
“that is���In the eyes of the Interstellar Peace Company, credit points are more important than security?” Bronya stared at Topa and asked
“This hat is too big.” Topa waved his hand:”If every planet defaults on its debts, how can the company maintain the interstellar peace system? Maintain and protect it?”
“Just like the way they maintained Yalilo-VI?” Bronya said sarcastically.
“Also, allow me to correct……Belloberg is willing to pay off debts…..The reasonable part.”
Bronya added:
“We are willing to bear the principal and the original 25-year interest. We have not been able to repay the debt for nearly 500 years because of the invasion of the antimatter army, the cold wave caused by the star core, and the abandonment of the company.”
“This is not partly the fault of Belloberg.”
“If the company insists on asking for this part of the interest, Beloberg is willing to help you collect the debt from Nanook.”
Bronya noticed that Topa fell into a brief silence, and she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared with Lord Gray Wind and His Majesty Zhou Xuan, dealing with a director of the Interstellar Peace Company was much less stressful.
Most importantly, Bronya calculated one thing, that is, Beloberg was indeed outrageously poor, with no resources, frost-covered land, a small population, and very few buildings.
If the company armed to collect the debt,…..
The wealth obtained is likely to be less than the fuel cost of a round trip for the company’s fleet.
Poverty is the reason why Bronya is not afraid of the company’s fleet.
“…….”The corner of Topa’s eye twitched violently.
She couldn’t help but complain in her heart, Bronya is just the ruler of a remote planet, why is she so calm, and every word she says directly pokes holes in the company’s bills.
But what is even more strange to Topa is, doesn’t Bronya worry about the company’s armed debt collection?
Could it be that she has calculated that the company’s fleet will also lose money, and the company will not easily do such a loss-making business.
Especially since Bronya is willing to bear the principal and 25 years of interest, it is not that she really intends not to pay it back.
Or is it…..She figured it out. I have another plan……..
Topa raised his head and took out another plan that he had prepared long ago:
“This is another plan of ours. You can take a look at it.”
“The company is willing to forgive Beloberg’s debt and even transform the planet’s environment for you.”
“You only need to pay…..Just pay for your future.”
Before Topa finished speaking, he noticed Bronya’s strange look.
