From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 687 There is a problem, and it is a big one

Amber's violent outburst silenced the Regent, and even his mental state seemed to have stabilized a little through psychic perception. However, Amber still realized through some of Norton II's micro-expressions and his unnatural muscle twitches that the Regent was still in some kind of "conflict".

It is said that good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Thinking of this, Amber decided to take another dose of "strong medicine" and then extracted the highly concentrated essence of "A Certain Lin" and "A Certain Person" from the memory deep in her brain.

"My Lord, if you called me here today just to warn me, or to stop the Atlas Group from cooperating with Her Royal Highness, I cannot accept it no matter what. I believe you don't have the ability to stop Her Royal Highness from making a decision.
Moreover, even in the empire, commerce and trade are free, and the spirit of contract needs to be respected. If someone tries to intercept this torrent of freedom with the hand of power, it is like swimming upstream and being hostile to the tide of the times. "

The "strong medicine" did work after all. Amber didn't know which "keyword" was triggered. Anyway, after he finished speaking, the Regent exploded like a lit powder keg.

His emotions quickly got out of control, his voice began to rise, and his tone became more and more violent. Finally, he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Amber, don't think I can tolerate anything you do! The stability of the empire cannot tolerate any threats!"

"So there's nothing to discuss? If that's the case, is there any need for you to call me here today?"

Amber said disdainfully that this kind of verbal threat had no deterrent effect on him now.

And even if the Regent really wanted to do something, Amber was not worried.

Not to mention that Princess Agnes would most likely protect the safety of his 'helper', Amber herself had also made a backup plan in her plan for coming to the imperial capital this time.

In the 'Dawn' moored in orbit, all the combatants are elites who have participated in many actual combats, and there is also a large group of ACEs in charge. In the deployment bay, there are also a large number of 'Immortal Legion' combat bodies led by Banninger. In case of an emergency, they can smash down without worrying about casualties.

In addition, an elite strike team sneaked into the empire through the secret channel provided by Ellenita, ready to jump to Saint-Saunière at any time.

In addition, with Lilith lifting restrictions and launching electronic warfare attacks at all costs, there would be no problem in forcibly rescuing Amber and the others in an emergency.

Not to mention that if Amber is pushed too far, he might just let LLS943823 execute the "Homecoming" program.
As if he was intimidated by Amber's fearless attitude, or perhaps he was worried about what Atlas and Princess Agnes might do, the Regent did not continue to argue with Amber angrily, but remained quiet again.

He stared at Amber, his eyes flashing with complex light, as if he was weighing something, and seemed to be in a fierce struggle between heaven and man.
Finally, he closed his eyes and slowly exhaled. When he opened his eyes again, his temperament changed again, and his tone of voice softened a little:
"Mr. Amber, I personally do not want to confront you. I hope you can understand that everything I do is for the future of the empire. I do not want to see any hidden threats that may undermine the stability of the empire."

His ever-changing state, coupled with his sudden softening tone, made Amber a little confused, because through psychic mind reading, he found that the regent did not seem to be lying, and was not mentally controlled by others.

Finally, Amber could only speak again and emphasize: "My lord, I am here to do business. I have no interest in destroying the stability of the empire. Believe it or not, the cooperation between Atlas Group and Her Royal Highness the Princess will continue."

Not surprisingly, the meeting ended in a bad way.

Amber politely said goodbye, and the regent did not stop him. He then turned and left the reception room full of depressing atmosphere. The moment she walked out of the reception room, Amber felt as if she had walked out of an ice cellar into the sunshine, and she was relieved. Seeing the look from Perseus who had been guarding outside the door, Amber did not say anything, but responded with an expression of calmness.

Judging from the fact that Perseus did not avoid Astral at all, they both should have noticed something unusual, and the latter must have known about his action of passing on the message.

After the three of them walked out of the mansion and set foot on the road to the gate, Amber opened a psychic barrier to cover the three of them, and then spoke:
"Perseus, you are right. The Lord Regent is indeed a little strange, but I haven't found any special problems yet. When did he become like this?"

Hearing Amber's question, Perseus quickly recalled: "Actually, it was during the time when we suddenly stopped contacting your company. Originally, both parties had a project ready to be discussed. Mr. Amber, do you remember?"

Amber: "Of course I remember, but we are still wondering what's going on with you. You were fine one day, and the next day it was as if Atlas owed you money. It's obviously you who still owe several balances!"

"We will pay the balance within the limited time, Mr. Amber," Astral suddenly said, "So when you were talking to the adults just now, did you notice anything? Perseus and I both know that you are a psychic."

"There is indeed something wrong. The whole person looks a little strange, and his personality seems to be a little split. But I can't find the reason for the abnormality yet, and I have ruled out the possibility of being controlled by a psychic."

Amber did not hold back and directly stated her observations, and then added another sentence.

"Anyway, we didn't come to any conclusion. What on earth did your Regent want to do by calling me here today? To be honest, after talking to him, I felt that apart from the gap and contradiction between us deepening, there was no improvement in our current relationship. He didn't really think that calling me here to threaten me would make me give up the idea, did he?"

Astral shook his head. "Under normal circumstances, the Lord would never act this way. Doing so would do us no good except pushing the Atlas Group to the Princess' side."

As soon as these words were spoken, Amber was stunned for a moment, but he did not reveal his thoughts. Instead, he quickly said goodbye to the two of them and returned to the Princess Villa under the escort of the Royal Guards.

After simply reporting her safety to Isabel and the others, Amber did not even bother to rest, but went straight to find Agnes in the garden.

"How was it, Mr. Amber, did the meeting with the Regent go well?"

Agnes still maintained her calm and noble temperament, as if someone else had acted in such a panic in the banquet hall last night.

Amber: "Your Highness, if I mean if, the Regent is deliberately pushing the Atlas Group to your side, what do you think?"

"what?"
