Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

Lin Yuan sat down in the seat marked with his name tag. There was an empty seat to his right, reserved for Taravan, the head of the building materials logistics department. To his left sat Diamond, who greeted Lin Yuan with a friendly expression.

A moment later, Taravan entered, followed by several secretaries. He took his seat at the head of the table and his gaze swept over everyone present.

"Everyone's here." His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Let's begin then."

Taravan paused, then placed his hands on the table.

"There is only one topic today: the extermination of the Great King and the forging of the King."

The air in the conference room froze instantly.

.........

Chapter 359 Established

After Taravan's voice faded, the hall fell silent.

Everyone present was a top-level decision-maker in the company, and they understood the weight of the name "Emperor of Annihilation" better than anyone else. But the name "King Forger" was something that most of them were hearing for the first time.

“Mr. Taravan.” Ya Poli from the Technology Research and Development Department spoke first, her voice clear and cold, carrying the prudence characteristic of a scholar.

"Is the source of this information reliable?"

Instead of answering directly, Taravan turned his gaze to Lin Yuan.

"The authenticity of the information is beyond doubt, guaranteed by the guardian of the custody order," he said slowly.

"This is from the King of Amber. Is any further proof required?"

Ya Po Li paused for a moment, then nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

The others also withdrew their questioning gazes. On the issue of preservation, no one dared to take the risk, and no one dared to question the Amber King's representative.

"Currently, the company's intelligence department is fully mobilized and is gathering all information about 'King of Casting'."

Talavan continued, "But the other side is very well hidden, and we don't yet have enough intelligence to cross-verify. However, it is certain that there is indeed such a figure behind the antimatter legion."

“If we are to deal with the King of Forging, it is impossible to target only one Extinction Lord.”

The scarred woman from the Business Consolidation Department spoke in a low voice.

"The seven Annihilation Lords are all at the level of Commanders. It's unrealistic for our company to deal with the entire Annihilation Faction on its own."

“Even dealing with just one of them would have an unimaginable impact on the existing organizational structure.”

Yan Shilu from the Talent Motivation Department took over the conversation, his gaze sweeping across the faces of everyone present.

“Resources, personnel, and budgets from all departments need to be reallocated. And this doesn’t even take into account the potential chain reaction.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a low murmur of discussion arose in the hall.

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the table. He knew the time had come.

"Everyone," he began, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The murmurs gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"The Ministry of Statistics was established to deal with this situation," Lin Yuan said slowly, enunciating each word clearly.

"Other departments don't need to put in too much effort; my department is specifically designed for this. But the prerequisite is that I need everyone's support."

He paused, then slowly stood up. Seeing that the crowd didn't react much, he raised his voice.

"Admit it, folks, we simply cannot tolerate the existence of these heretics."

It's not because they threaten our interests, although they do; it's not because they kill our employees, although they do.

Ultimately, it's because their very existence questions the meaning of our preservation!

Every time we see a planet they have burned, every time we take stock of the bad debts they have caused, we should know deep down that they are not attacking our assets, they are mocking our faith.

Lin Yuan paused slightly, his eyes becoming intensely bright.

"Gentlemen, we are not facing a business competitor. The existence of the antimatter legion has shaken the very foundation of our existence."

Some might say that the universe is vast enough to accommodate both sides, and we can deal with it rationally.

But any rational deduction can only point to the same conclusion: preservation and destruction are fundamentally incompatible!

He took a slow breath, looking down at each of the important figures. The scene was completely calm, but everyone felt the power and charisma of this envoy.

"In my extremely short life compared to yours, I have only learned one lesson. When your enemy raises his gun, you must fire at him first! That is preservation!"

"Now, I'm willing to be that bullet. Resources, intelligence, channels... I need the Department of Statistics to be operational quickly. Only in this way can we be adequately prepared before the threat of destruction truly arrives."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yuan sat back down. Everyone's eyes flickered, and there was a lot of subtle eye contact.

Diamond was the first to respond. He recalled his conversation with Lin Yuan and nodded slightly.

"The Strategic Investment Department supports the work of the Statistics Department." Diamond's voice was gentle yet firm.

“If necessary, the ten Stonehearts can also provide assistance.”

Oswaldo followed closely behind. His expression was unreadable; he simply said, "The market development department will also cooperate."

With the heavyweight's statement, the other managers nodded in agreement.

Ms. Scarface stated that the Business Consolidation Department could provide support in terms of resources and channels, Ms. Ya Poli said that she could cooperate in equipment research and development, and Mr. Yan Shilu promised to prioritize the allocation of personnel to the General Affairs Department.

Seeing this, Taravan nodded in satisfaction.

“Now that everyone has reached a consensus, then…” he changed the subject, “there is still one problem that needs to be solved.”

His gaze turned serious.

"Inter-departmental friction has been going on for far too long. The board is very concerned about this."

Taravan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable weight.

"The issue of board reshuffling, or rather, the election of new board members, needs to be resolved as soon as possible. It can't be delayed any longer."

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became subtle.

“The board has given us a deadline,” Taravan said, holding up a finger. “A decision must be made within that timeframe. All qualified executives can be candidates.”

His gaze swept across the field for a moment.

"Including you, Lin Yuan."

All eyes were once again focused on Lin Yuan. The young head of the Statistics Department, who had just been promoted to the P47 Storage Order Envoy, once again became the center of attention in the meeting room.

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"My department is still under construction, and there's still a lot to do." His tone was calm, revealing no emotion.

"As for the board seats... I'm not in a hurry."

He paused, then changed the subject.

"However, there is one thing that everyone here needs to know."

Everyone listened intently.

"If we rely solely on the company's resources to deal with Zhuwang, the pressure will indeed be enormous."

Therefore, during the upcoming departmental preparation period, I plan to visit other forces on behalf of the company, including the Genius Club, the Immortal Boat Alliance, and even families… to lay the foundation for establishing a united alliance against destruction.

His gaze became distant.

"I hope that I can see the internal strife within the company resolved as soon as possible before my trip ends."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a few seconds.

Diamond and Oswaldo looked up almost simultaneously, their eyes meeting in the air.

The implications were complex and difficult to articulate without being explicitly stated. Yet, a chill permeated the atmosphere.

Lin Yuan observed all of this, remaining outwardly calm, but already having made his plans.

“Then,” Taravan broke the silence.

"That concludes today's meeting. All departments should cooperate with the Statistics Department according to the agreed plan. I will further push for the re-election of directors at the board meeting."

...........

While Pierpoint was holding a momentous conference that would shape the fate of the universe, there were also those in the vast cosmos who stood on their own small feet.

Before a vast planet, though the few colors on it still testify to its past beauty, it is now only covered with the scars of war and scorching.

A figure in a white suit stands in space, looking down at the planet before him.

He raised his hand to straighten his top hat, preparing to salute the planet.

Suddenly, he paused, turned around, and saw a dark, burning flame slowly appear.

"Huanlong, what brings you here? I heard last time that you were getting beaten up on the Immortal Ship. That sounds quite amusing."

Laughter erupted.

Chapter 360 Visit

Huanlong remained expressionless upon hearing Guiji's teasing, though the flames around him rippled slightly.

"Hey, just kidding, why take it so seriously?"

Seeing Huanlong's expression, Guiji shook his head.

"Hmph, Guiji, are you playing your role-playing game again?"

"No, no, no, this is not child's play."

Gui Ji raised his hand to adjust his top hat, his tone leisurely:

"This time, I carefully crafted the character cards. You see, I rolled the dice seriously every time. The hand of fate is really interesting."

He pointed to the scorched planet, a hint of pleasure in his voice.

Huanlong's figure pressed close to the planet, looking down at the desolate silence below. She suddenly spoke with great interest:

"What role did you choose to play this time? An extraterrestrial demon? A hero? Or... a god?"
