People are working on collapsing iron, and one concept-level capability is developed every month.

"A good businessman should be flexible. But... never mind..."

The blurry projection turned back, continuing to gaze at the "Amber King's" body. "Do you know the origins of that new 'Guardian' envoy?"

"Scarface" shook her head slightly. "I don't know."

She only learned some of the secret information involving the Immortal Boat Alliance from this person; she naturally had no way of knowing anything that this person had never mentioned.

"Her true form is the statue of the 'Amber King,' and the core of that statue is a fragment of the 'Amber King's' divine body."

"what?!"

"Scarface" stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

How could it be possible to transform fragments of the Star God's divine body into living beings?

The blurry projection by the window continued, "She... is different from Taravan and 'Diamond.' As a fellow Envoy, her connection to 'Amber King' is much closer than you realize."

"..."

"Scarface" remained silent.

"The outcome of going up against her might be more serious than you think."

"..."

"The 'Company' needs the 'King of Amber,' but the 'King of Amber' doesn't need the Company. Perhaps the world misunderstands us, but... as a director of the 'Company,' you should know that everything we do is dedicated to the 'King of Amber.'"

"..."

"Scarface" remained silent.

"in addition......"

The blurry projection paused, then said with a hint of emotion, "He seems to possess some kind of ability that can influence star gods. If he were to recklessly attack the 'Amber King,' I might escape, but you would all surely die."

"Ai Qi Liu (one) Umbrella Er Er~"

"Scarface" sighed deeply. "I understand. I will make concessions on behalf of the 'company,' but what are our bottom lines?"

The blurry projection chuckled and said, "Give him whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't want to become a permanent director of the 'Company,' we'll agree to anything."

"Scarface" twitched; this bottom line was much lower than she had expected.

"Who exactly is he?" Mrs. Scarface couldn't help but ask.

"That's a good question, I don't know either."

"Even you didn't know?" Mrs. Scarface felt somewhat incredulous.

"Is it strange? The world is so vast, isn't it normal for there to be things I don't know? It's just..."

The blurred projection said meaningfully, "I can tolerate the 'unknown' in the realms I know because I am merely a mortal, but... some beings cannot tolerate it, especially... Him."

"Him?"

"Scarface" knew that in this person's mouth, "He" was only used to refer to the Star God.

But who exactly is this Star God? Is it one of the Star Gods who have already cast their gaze upon him? Or is it another Star God?

"Scarface" was completely baffled, while the blurry projection simply smiled and remained silent, offering no explanation.

After a long while, the blurry projection finally spoke again.

“Go, go and submit to him on behalf of the ‘Company.’ Since he wants to be the center of attention, then crown him with the prestige of the ‘Company.’”

"As you wish, Lord Dongfang."

"Scarface" lowered her head.

............

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

The next day at noon, when Xueyi knocked on the door to tell him that the time had come, he was still somewhat dazed.

"So fast..."

He put away the "little toy" in his hand, changed his clothes with Xueyi's help, and slowly walked out of the captain's cabin.

Yesterday, after discussing with Amber and Zi Nie, he actually figured out an interesting thing, but it's still just a prototype and will take some time to fully develop.

Let's deal with the important matters first, and then we can go back and think about it slowly after that.

"So, what's the company's reaction? Have they called?"

"No. When communications were first blocked, the 'Company' attempted to hack into the 'Awakening Ship,' but all attempts were blocked by the 'Black Clan's' special domain. Later, when someone tried to force their way onto the ship, they were repelled by Black Phoenix."

Volume 1: Chapter 122, Topaz and Emerald

Hearing Xueyi's answer, Lin Yinzhou raised an eyebrow. "So it was Black Phoenix who personally took action? And it was the messenger who came?"

"Yes. It's Taravan Keane, the head of the 'Company's' building materials logistics department, one of the few confirmed 'protection' agents in the company. After he was repelled, the 'Company' remained silent for a long time, only resuming communication late last night."

"Since then, they have never stopped trying to make contact with us, without taking any additional measures, simply conveying information."

"So honest?" Lin Yinzhou was somewhat surprised.

This was nothing like the "company" he remembered.

As the world's leading monopolistic power, we've been bullied all the way to our headquarters, yet we only have this little reaction.

Did the Black Phoenix startle them? Or has the matter of "Kalania" been exposed again?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lin Yinzhou felt that the latter was more likely.

Indeed, when it comes to a global monopoly like "The Company," there are hardly any secrets in the world.

They might even already know what amber is in its original form.

That explains why they were so quiet.

Thinking of this, Lin Yinzhou spoke up.

"Let's remove the shield from Qingyi and Heiyue, and see what the 'company' is planning."

"kindness."

Xueyi pressed the earpiece and informed the two of Lin Yinzhou's situation.

Shortly after, the block was lifted, and a message from the "company" was delivered to Lin Yinzhou.

"Mrs. Scarface?"

Lin Yinzhou was slightly surprised when he saw the signature at the end of the message.

Since he was there to cause trouble for the "company," he had personally reviewed everything he needed to know on the way.

Nowadays, the largest decision-making body in a "company" is a "seven-member board of directors".

Of these seven people, only two are lifetime directors.

One of them is, of course, the big boss who founded the "Peace Company"—Louis Fleming.

The second is Dongfang Qixing, which single-handedly established the credit point system.

Although these two individuals are still counted in the "seven-member board of directors," their status is largely honorary.

Louis Fleming, the former, announced his retirement at the end of the "Frontier Trade War," hundreds of years before the Amber Age, and has never appeared in the world since.

And the one following behind, Dongfang Qixing, is even more important.

After Louis Fleming retired, he effectively became the sole leader of "the company," but information about this leader was scarce. Apart from knowing that he was the one who established the credit point system, there wasn't a single extra word in the intelligence provided to him by the Immortal Ship.

Getting back to the main point, below these two lifetime directors are three formal board members.

The head of the "Business Consolidation Department" is "Scarface Lady," the "Storage" envoy is Taravan Keen, who is also the head of the "Building Materials Logistics Department," and finally the head of the "Traditional Projects Department" is Zaita.

These three people appear to be equal in status, but in reality, "Scarface" holds an absolute advantage.

The reason is simple: the "Business Consolidation Department" is the largest department in the company, with the most employees, and most of the company's profits come from this department.

Finally, there are two board member candidates.

Oswaldo Schneider and the guardian "Diamond" who commands the "Stoneheart Ten" in the game.

From this perspective, if we exclude the extremely mysterious Dongfang Qixing, "Scarface" is basically the head of the "company".

The top executive personally intervened right from the start. Is the "company" really that flexible?

Lin Yinzhou frowned and read the message again.

The contents were quite simple: "Scarface" said she had investigated everything and asked him to go to "Pierpoint" in person to negotiate, promising a satisfactory answer.

After reading the message, Lin Yinzhou went to the bridge and stared intently at the "Pierpoint" in the distance through the panoramic observation window.

The company's overly flexible nature actually made him a little wary.

Seriously, surely a "company" wouldn't stoop to such petty tricks as a trap?

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yinzhou calmly said, "Send a message to the 'Company' to have 'Scarface' come and talk to me in person. Also, have Heitian and Heiyue come back first; they've been up all day, and they must want to rest."

With the abilities of Black Sky and Black Moon, they naturally wouldn't feel tired.

But given their lazy nature, if they aren't allowed to rest, they'll really start to protest.

"kindness."

Xueyi pressed the earpiece to relay Lin Yinzhou's command.

Before long, the darkness and the moon returned, and the entire star field and "Pierpoint" were restored to light.

Looking at the "Pierpoint" in the distance, Lin Yinzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

Come on, let me see what tricks you're trying to pull.

About ten minutes later, Lin Yinzhou saw with his own eyes that "Pierpoint" had dissipated its atmosphere, revealing the extremely prosperous interstellar city to him.

Subsequently, a giant starship bearing the insignia of the "Business Consolidation Department" slowly took off from the port and sailed slowly toward the "Dawn Ship" in front of many "company" employees of "Pierpoint".

The giant starship stopped halfway through its journey.

Immediately afterwards, a starship with a distinctive personal style emerged from the belly of the giant starship and continued toward the "Dawn Ship".

The starship was similar in size to the "Dawn Ship," with a dark gold color and smooth, powerful lines.

Of course, the most eye-catching feature is the special markings on the side of the starship.

It was a pair of abstract, enormous eyes, composed of sharp geometric lines.

Above it, there is a long, narrow crack line running from top to bottom, like a scar running through the eye.

During the voyage, the abstract eye symbol reflected a ghostly blue light, like the flickering pupil of some giant creature.

He recognized the symbol. In the information provided by the Immortal Boat, each director's unique symbol was pointed out, and this symbol belonged to "Scarface Lady". Only "Scarface Lady" herself could use this symbol.

That's interesting. They deliberately used their own starship to negotiate. Are they afraid others won't know?

He was becoming increasingly curious about what surprise the "company" had prepared for him.

Before long, "Scarface's" starship successfully rendezvoused with "Dawn".

Lin Yinzhou didn't bother with giving the other party a hard time over minor details, so he simply opened the cabin door and had Xueyi lead the person in.

...........

Qiming warship, conference room.

As "Scarface" and her entourage followed Xueyi into the conference room, Lin Yinzhou unconsciously raised an eyebrow.

On this trip, "Scarface" brought four subordinates, all of whom were stunning beauties who fit the mainstream aesthetic of the Immortal Ship. What's even more remarkable is that two of these four were "acquaintances" of his.

Urging the return of the yellow jade—Topa.

Pawning Jadeite - Jadeite.

Volume 1: Chapter 123, I want Pierpoint!!

Lin Yinzhou's gaze swept over the two of them, his expression becoming increasingly intriguing.

What does that mean? A honey trap?

Does this "Scarface Lady" think that such a petty trick will make him bow down?

Hehe~ It's more like looking up!
