Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 288 To the Future

So far, Duan Mingyuan is not satisfied with this trip to Jiqiao Star.

The interstellar voyage he imagined was to travel to a planet with a pleasant climate, appreciate the charm of different cultures, stay in luxury hotels, and enjoy the VIP services that are said to be the best in the universe. When they are not needed during meetings, he and Jiu Yue can visit the shops in the capital of the Mechanical Star and buy some local-style mechanisms as souvenirs.

Instead of fighting against the Curse of Flesh, Space Pirates, and now the Silver Lotus Family.

If there were "version ratings" in reality, Duan Mingyuan would give a one-star bad review without hesitation.

The only good news is that after tonight, all the troubles will be over - all the chaos so far have been caused by the high and mighty head of the Silver Lotus family in front of him. If the other party agrees to his request and no longer brings disaster to this devastated planet, their days in the future should be much better.

"……Peace."

Morgan VII repeated Duan Mingyuan's request, and his expression became much more cautious.

That's a decent request.

These two simple words are the most expensive luxury in this era. I am afraid that only those unrealistic idealists would still mention this word.

After a long moment, Morgan VII spoke, with a gleam in his eyes, "I can bring peace to this planet, but there are many other ways to achieve peace. I hope this can be our first honest business - you and me, the Semites and the Transcendents."

Coyote Twelve has had many dealings with the Semites. Whenever the Semites showed such an expression, it meant that they were about to start asking for an exorbitant price.

He did not relax and asked coldly, "So, what is the price?"

"You know the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce. If you can manage the directors well and keep them in line, the Chamber of Commerce can stop interfering with their decisions."

"The Chamber of Commerce Consolidation Act?"

Coyote Twelve cursed in his heart. The Semites seemed willing to take a step back, but in fact they were throwing all the messes to them.

"Cowboy, it seems you are smarter than the rumors say."

After that, Morgan VII looked at Duan Mingyuan and said, "This is how the universe works. If you help us achieve our goal, the Chamber of Commerce will give you the 'peace' you desire."

He believed that Duan Mingyuan would be able to achieve this result without bloodshed. "It's not difficult for you. There's no need to fight. You only need to modify some of their memories to bring true peace to this planet. I have to admit that this is a very convenient ability."

Of course, this is only the first step in the cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and Duan Mingyuan.

Morgan VII thought that this was a normal process. As business partners, he should show them some of his transcendental skills during their first collaboration.

"The cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and Universal Company is only the first step towards the future. You have demonstrated your value to the family over the past period of time, so the Shan people are willing to share the future with you... Savior, this title sounds much better than the spiritual leader of the rebels. You need this reputation, and so do we."

When the cocooning of the Machine Star was prevented, they also created a new future for the Beyonders.

He is no longer defeated as a "devil", but praised as a "hero".

On the road to a new era, people need a strong enemy and a hero who can defeat the strong enemy, and the Semites are willing to give this identity of the future white glove to their partners.

In the end, the "hero" and the people of his hometown will get the peace they wish for amid flowers and praises.

“The Chamber of Commerce had no intention of fulfilling the promises made at the banquet from the beginning.”

Duan Mingyuan understood that the only purpose of the dinner was to stir up suspicion among the directors. "This is the business world. When you can no longer provide value to your business partners, you must be prepared to be abandoned at any time. The Sixteen Stars Summit is a deformed product based on the tide of the times. When the Chamber of Commerce merges with the company, this 'neutral' organization will no longer be needed."

Morgan VII changed the subject and said, "But if you can manage this organization well, the Chamber of Commerce can allow it to continue to exist as a token of sincerity."

He believed that he fully communicated the purpose of the Chamber to their future partners.

From the very beginning, the summit on Jiqiao Star was not a game of votes for bills, but a means used by the Chamber of Commerce to completely disintegrate the Sixteen Summits.

"Of course, if you lose interest in these people, the Chamber of Commerce has prepared a simpler plan for you. As long as they die on Planet Jiqiao, the Chamber of Commerce will quickly foster new rulers on these sixteen planets, and they will naturally abolish outdated institutions such as the Sixteen-Star Summit."

"I totally understand."

Duan Mingyuan finally understood what Morgan VII meant. The peace talks he hoped for were doomed to fail.

"Well, what do you think?"

"The Sixteen Star Summit will continue. We will not interfere with the votes of other summit directors, but Blue Star will definitely cast a vote against it."

Duan Mingyuan also stated his full intentions, "In order to maintain order at the venue, please drive the Laurel away from this star region."

This is not a business, and he is not a businessman.

"it's a pity."

Morgan VII shook his head regretfully. "We need your fame and power, but we also hope that you understand that the Transcendent is not the only choice for the Chamber of Commerce. In fact, no one in this universe is irreplaceable."

After receiving Morgan VII's signal, the butler took off his white satin gloves expressionlessly, revealing the dazzling ring on his index finger.

"Then let's get back to the beginning of the topic."

Morgan VII said, "Perhaps you have heard a saying that no matter what the process is, the result will always develop in the direction expected by the Chamber of Commerce. If this is a detective game for you, the answer you want is hidden in that ring."

The anomaly of the Gear Hotel originates from this ring.

All the assassins who boarded the ship also died from this ring.

Duan Mingyuan saw the ring on the butler's finger burst into dazzling light, and the fluctuating energy gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.

When the curse of flesh and blood spread on the Mechanical Star, and when the "cocoon" was about to cover every corner of the planet, he also sensed the same existence.

Compared to the consciousness born on the Mechanical Planet, this ring is more ferocious and powerful.

"You can consider it as the trophy of the Chamber of Commerce."

The image of Morgan VII gradually faded until it disappeared. After the negotiations broke down, he handed over the aftermath to a special person to handle as he had done before.

——"This is the power that controls everything."

My cold is much better today, and I went water skiing for several days. Starting tomorrow I will resume the 6k word update and the short drama!
