Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1300 Transaction Successful
The federal intelligence community was not angry at Yang Bofa's email; on the contrary, they were pleased.

While sending someone to reply to Yang Bo's email, the federal intelligence agency also quickly reported the matter to higher authorities!
Federal intelligence agencies are currently facing a major headache, mainly due to a series of setbacks recently suffered by Madhya Pradesh.

Aside from the Seventh Fleet's major victory, the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh has otherwise faced a passive situation.

They had just lost another squadron not long ago; those pirate groups were elusive and unpredictable.

The Federation does have spies within pirate groups, but most pirate groups operate independently, and the Federation cannot possibly place spies in every single one.

Moreover, sometimes the Federation's informants within pirate groups only provide intelligence after the fact.

Because these pirates sailed in complete silence and had no contact with the outside world.

This puts federal intelligence agencies in a very passive position.

The information provided by Yang Bo last time was highly accurate.

Of course, the internal strife within the federal military has relieved a lot of pressure on the intelligence agencies!
However, the intelligence agencies can only say that the pressure has decreased.

If this continues, the intelligence agencies will have no way to explain themselves, given how much money they spend every year.

Moreover, each department in Madhya Pradesh wants to get more funding for itself!

Anyway, these funds are federal taxes!

The federal intelligence agencies primarily serve Madhya Pradesh, as other states do not trust them.

Upon receiving the report from below, the Federal President, Vice President, Federal Minister of Defense, and Chief of the General Staff should immediately escalate this matter to a higher level!

"You still haven't figured out who sent us the email!" the President asked the Secretary of Homeland Security, sounding annoyed.
"Your Excellency, the emails used by the other party have been disguised in multiple ways."

“We could expose his disguise, but this mysterious man hasn’t shown any hostility, so we’re taking a wait-and-see approach for now,” the Secretary of Homeland Security offered as an excuse.

The federal vice president sneered, knowing full well that the Secretary of Security was lying.

The chief of staff then spoke up, saying, "Let's ask him what he wants first. If he wants money, we'll give it to him. As long as we have the recipient's information, we can easily track him down."

The Minister of Defense nodded in agreement: "I'm just afraid this guy won't want anything. Whether he wants things or money, there's always someone to receive it."

The federal president nodded, then said, "Secretary of State Security, you contact him personally!"

Yang Bo received an email from the federal intelligence agency asking him what kind of compensation he wanted and how much.
Yang Bo sent an email directly to the other party: Your Federation doesn't want others to know that your major victory was due to intelligence provided by others, right?
Yang Bo's email message contained a threatening tone.

This interstellar war has broken human history records, with the largest number of warships participating in the war ever.

Almost all sixteen pirate crews were wiped out. Except for the four pirate crews that were able to get away with the loss by Lee John and retain most of their warships, the remaining twelve pirate crews were almost completely destroyed.

So the Federation blew this victory into the heavens, and even called the Seventh Fleet commander a war god!
There was absolutely no mention of any other intelligence support!

The Federal President and Vice President, along with their entourage, initially held some goodwill towards the mysterious figure upon reading his reply. However, upon seeing this response, the Federal President scoffed, "That bastard is definitely a pirate."

The federal vice president nodded in agreement: "His attitude is 100% that of a pirate!"

"Ask him what kind of compensation he wants. It's not that we're afraid he won't get compensation, it's that we're afraid he'll ask for too little!"

"Sell it when it's no longer of any use." The federal president disliked Yang Bo's threatening tone.

Of course, they don't know that the mysterious person is Yang Bo.

The head of the First Intelligence Division of the Federal Intelligence Service immediately sent an email to the mysterious person: What kind of reward do you want?
Yang Bo replied: You can decide on the compensation yourself. You don't want to be ruined, do you?

Furthermore, if you want follow-up information, you need to show sufficient sincerity.

The head of the First Intelligence Division of the Federal Intelligence Service looked back at the group of people behind him.

The federal president continued, "Ask him what he wants, whether it's money or something else, and we can meet his needs. Moreover, the prospects for our future cooperation are very promising."

After seeing the email, Yang Bo replied immediately: I want a man-made standard energy stone worth 10 trillion credits!

Yang Bo decided to use his identity as the leader of the Silver Moon Pirates to deal with the Federal Central State.

After seeing the email sent by Yang Bo, the Federation's Vice President chuckled: "This guy has revealed that he's a member of a pirate group. The artificial standard energy stones are mainly used for warships!"

The Federal Chief of Staff said, "We still need to negotiate!"

The president finally spoke, saying, "Keep sending him emails, try to negotiate first, and then ask him if he has any new intelligence!"

After receiving the email, Yang Bo replied directly: There is no possibility of negotiation. You need to settle the intelligence fee from last time first, and then we can talk about the next cooperation.

Upon seeing Yang Bo's reply, the Federal President said, "Have him provide another piece of intelligence, and we'll settle the accounts together later."

After seeing the message from the Federal Intelligence Department, Yang Bo pondered for a moment and then sent an email: The Pirate Alliance does indeed have a joint operation this time, but I don't know the exact details yet, and my information is not free, so it depends on your sincerity.

When the federal president and others saw the email from the mysterious person, their hearts were in their throats!
The Federal Chief of Staff spoke up, "Is Your Excellency saying this on purpose?"

The Minister of Defense nodded in agreement: "I think this guy is just exaggerating; he's probably trying to force us to pay him upfront!"

The Secretary of Homeland Security agreed, saying, "The pirate alliance has just suffered a major blow and it is impossible for them to organize a joint operation again in a short period of time!"

The Pirate Alliance was recently dealt a heavy blow by the Federation, so these people believe that the Pirate Alliance will not be able to carry out large-scale joint operations in the short term.

The Federal Vice President disagreed, saying, "I don't think the Pirate Alliance will let this go easily. The last defeat will exacerbate the internal conflicts within the Pirate Alliance, and the Pirate Alliance Council will definitely try to rebuild the Pirate Alliance's credibility."

"Therefore, the best course of action for the pirate alliance is to achieve another major victory in a short period of time!"

The Federal President spoke directly: "Ask him where he traded the artificial standard energy stones we gave him for fifteen trillion credits, and also try to find out his identity!"

So the people below sent an email to Yang Bo: We can agree to your request. We can pay 15 trillion credit points for the artificial standard stone. However, given your status, how can we trust that you can obtain intelligence accurately?

Yang Bo saw the content sent by the other party and knew that they were trying to find out his identity, but he didn't care. So he sent an email: If you can give me 20 trillion credit points of standard energy stone, I guarantee that I will give you specific information within half a month of receiving the energy stone.

As for my identity, isn't that obvious? I must be a pirate to have gathered so much information.

Upon seeing the email, the federal president and others exclaimed, "This greedy and shameless fellow actually wants twenty trillion credit points of standard energy stones!"

"This guy really is a pirate. We were right! Only pirates are this greedy!" "We still need to be careful with pirates' greed, because these guys have no morals whatsoever. It might be a trap!"

"Actually, there are significant conflicts between pirate crews and pirate alliances, but they are also mutually dependent!"

"Ask him where he made the transaction!"

Upon seeing the message from the Federal Intelligence Service, Yang Bo replied: "Prepare the standard energy stones first, then report a coordinate point. I will notify you of the rest. After obtaining the energy stones, I will gather relevant information as soon as possible!"
The federal president had no choice, because if the news of the last victory were made public, it would severely damage the federal government's reputation.

Of course, the federal president and others deeply hated this mysterious man.

Because the mysterious person's emails were threatening them.

Moreover, this threat could ruin their reputation at any time.

"This despicable and shameless bastard is only now standing up to say these things."

"If this guy had told us beforehand, we could have changed our propaganda strategy."

"This guy is blatantly extorting us!"

"Give it to him, give him 20 trillion credit points of artificial standard energy stones. The more he takes, the more gruesome his death will be."

"That's right. He betrayed the pirate alliance when he sent us the intelligence, and now he's threatening us."

"No wonder that bastard sent us intelligence; it seems he's not well-liked in the pirate alliance either."

The federal president spoke directly: Send him a message saying we agree!
After receiving the email, Yang Bo did not reply to the other party, but waited for their response.

In fact, the intelligence from last time was worth far more than ten trillion credits.

Because the intelligence from last time was too important!
But for Yang Bo, this was a windfall. In addition, Madhya Pradesh is currently not financially well-off. Several major conglomerates in Madhya Pradesh are now in dire straits, and the government departments of Madhya Pradesh are facing dissolution because other states are not paying taxes!

In addition, the Federal State of Madhya is currently at war with a pirate alliance, and this man-made standard quantity is a strategic resource.

Even if Yang Bo wanted more, the other party wouldn't give him any.

"Hehe!!" Yang Bo chuckled, because he was certain that the Federation would definitely stall for time.

That would be even better. After I get the energy stone, I can stall for time before sending them the information about the Pirate Alliance's operation.

In other words, the federal government of Madhya Pradesh will only be informed after the pirate groups of the Pirate Alliance launch a large-scale attack on the mineral planet of Madhya Pradesh!
Madhya Pradesh needs to know the consequences of delaying.

Then the next time I sell information to them, I can ask for a higher price.

"Anyway, these guys' money isn't their own!" Yang Bo's wishful thinking was deafening.

Yang Bo did this to give them the illusion that they were too late in providing themselves with energy!

In fact, no matter how long it takes them to provide me with energy, I will only send them a message after the pirate alliance's pirate crews have made their move!

Of course, once they have that illusion, they'll be more willing to make money in the next transaction!
Yang Bo aims to act as a balancer between the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh and the Pirate Alliance!

Whoever is stronger, I'll take them down!
If the pirate alliance is strong enough, they will either sell information to the Federal Central State or take action themselves!
If Madhya Pradesh is stronger, then I'll join other pirates to fleece Madhya Pradesh!
Because there are many more methods waiting for the Federal State of Madhya Pradesh; right now it's just robbery, there's also kidnapping and extortion, and so on.

Look at the massive terrorist attack the Pirate Alliance carried out on March Star.

The Federation does need to delay delivering the energy stone to Yang Bo, because they need to have their intelligence department investigate first.

If we can get the information from other places, then we won't need to pay Yang Bo so much money.

So federal intelligence agencies quickly sent messages to their spies within the pirate alliance.

However, the internal structure of the pirate crew meant that spies could not obtain much information.

On the one hand, pirate groups usually operate independently and only temporarily assemble when they need to cooperate!
On the other hand, even federal spies within these pirate groups, unless they reach the higher ranks, ordinary members of the pirate groups have no idea where they are or what they are supposed to do before the battle officially begins.

Yang Bo never expected to make a small fortune and then return to March Star.

"Huh?" After returning to March Star, Yang Bo planned to go to the company to take a look. He had also used the Spirit Seed on Liu Jingxiang.

To Yang Bo's surprise, Nolan actually joined his company.

She was the former Crown Princess of the Empire.

Because as a legitimate company, we need some basic employees!

For example, accountants, finance professionals, cashiers, and human resources personnel.

Furthermore, the accountant, finance manager, and cashier cannot be the same person.

So Liu Jingxiang hired three people, and all three were women.

One of them is Nolan.

This made Yang Bo less inclined to go to the company, so he simply stayed home and continued to work as a white-hat hacker, looking for more vulnerabilities.

Then Yang Bo discovered that he had encountered a small problem.

To be precise, it's Prince Holden of the Second World.

Yang Bo planted a spiritual seed in Prince Holden's butler, so he could quickly appear in the Second World whenever something happened!
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"

"His Majesty has sent envoys to the Kingdom of Harlan to propose marriage. It is expected that the princess of the Kingdom of Harlan will arrive in His Highness's territory in three months."

"His Majesty has specially dispatched two hundred craftsmen and five hundred slaves to decorate the venue for the grand wedding!" Prince Holden's adoptive father sent someone to inform Prince Holden.

Yang Bo saw through their schemes at a glance, because Prince Holden's territory already had a small population. Now, with two hundred more artisans and five hundred slaves, they were indulging in a lavish wedding.

This is going to bankrupt Prince Holden.

Yang Bo is considering what method to use to get rid of this trouble.
