What if Hua Yi, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," were to actually deliver a blow to Pierpont—
One of the brightest stars in the sky will be crushed.
The company members are truly doing their utmost to find the culprit. The Amber King has manifested a miracle; who dares to deceive the Star God!
"...The direct participants I know of have long been discarded by the company's upper management and have vanished without a trace."
Chadwick noticed that Emerald, who had been standing quietly beside Hua Yi like a bodyguard or attendant, suddenly began to behave strangely.
The old man looked over curiously and was surprised to find that Jade's demeanor was not that of an insignificant person. He suspected that Jade was one of the few sources of information he had, a big shot in the company who frequently appeared in the newspapers.
Wait a minute, the Hound family head Wyatt can only wait at a distance, while this guy can get much closer to Hua Yi...
"Who the hell are you?!"
Chadwick stared intently at the young man.
"Let me think—'Partners of Justice,' this answer should be easy to understand."
Hua Yi stood up, having learned all the details, and had already drawn his own conclusion.
“Calderon Chadwick, seat number 79 of the Genius Club, you developed the Imaginary Pulse, but ended up disappearing without a trace and being imprisoned in a dream. Obviously, you did not hand over the results to the company and must have gone through a lot of coercion and inducement.”
"...I've already been an executioner once, and even if I've lost all conscience, the last shred of morality won't allow me to continue associating with ambitious people."
Realizing that Hua Yi was a terrifyingly powerful figure, Chadwick clenched his fists.
"I've long since completely forgotten my memories of the imaginary number collapse pulse through special drugs. Whether what you think in your heart matches what you say or not, don't waste your time on this old man!"
"A spirited genius, a weapons inventor under house arrest, and an old man suffering moral condemnation."
Hua Yi pondered.
Organize the many roles that belong to Chadwick.
"As a short-lived species, your body is already ruined, leaving only your spirit trapped in the Pinocchio Dream by the company, coveting weapon data—I won't kill you, and there's no reason to give you any special treatment right now. I'll grant you a second life..."
"What exactly do you want..."
The sudden turn of events left Chadwick in a state of confusion.
"Considering that you upheld your moral principles and didn't let the company steal your imaginary pulse technology, I'm granting you freedom, confined to the realm of dreams."
Hua Yi beckoned Wyatt over and gave instructions to the head of the hound family.
"From now on, no one will be able to coerce or entice Chadwick anymore, and he can visit the Twelve Dreams and Dream Reef."
"Yes!"
The hound's owner stood at attention, tense.
"Um, I... I really don't know the specific bad things the company did, Mr. Hua Yi..."
"Whether you're clear or not won't change the outcome. There's nothing you can do against Interstellar Peace Corporation, isn't there?"
Hua Yi had Wyatt take Chadwick away.
Dreamland is a carnival for dream chasers, and Dream Reef is the home of watchmakers; these have nothing to do with old geniuses.
It was unrelated before.
Now, he needs a guide to understand the basics of dreams and to obtain the freedom Hua Yi promised.
The hound's owner will handle it.
As for the [imaginary number collapse pulse]—
Its main value lies in research. If Hua Yi obtains it, he can hand it over to the Great Black Tower and other scientists on his side for analysis.
In terms of practical applications, mass destruction can deal with human wave tactics, and antimatter legions and abundant abominations are suitable targets, and can indeed have an impact on the cosmic landscape 4.8.
But Hua Yi has many more methods, and his influence far exceeds that of a single interstellar strategic weapon.
He didn't even need to lift a finger.
Throw the Godfall Sword out, and the "sword spirit" inside, Illusion and Bewitching King Insect, will prove with irrefutable facts that "Lord Hua Yi, I am more useful than the Imaginary Number Collapse Pulse."
Jade understands this as well.
Therefore, she did not mention the follow-up at all, whether or not to be open and honest, and to use Hua Yi's repeated saving of the world to move Chadwick.
Perhaps after Chadwick gradually learns about Hua Yi's character from the dreamer Gopher, Sunday, and the watchmaker Mikhail, he will take the initiative to bring out the imaginary pulse technology.
It's also possible that it might not.
Before Hua Yi gave the explicit order, no one dared to act on their own.
The reappearance of [Order], the descent of the Star God, and the artifact of destiny—compared to these, the Imaginary Number Collapse Pulse pales in comparison.
Chapter 636 Jade's Confession
Jade followed closely behind Hua Yi.
The high heels clicked crisply on the marble floor, and the jeweled waist ornament swayed gently with each step. Despite her mature and charming demeanor, Emerald, this strong woman, showed hesitation in her eyes, lacking much of her usual ease and confidence.
Hua Yi once referred to the company as a gray behemoth.
It was a mix of black and white, and the reviews weren't good, considering the company was in the [storage protection] camp.
If we switch to the Immortal Boat Alliance, which believes in [hunting], I haven't heard Hua Yi say how shady it is.
Now, the Amber King has bestowed upon the Storage Protection Artifact, disregarding the company's cumbersome rules and appointing Hua Yi as the chairman's spokesperson. Meanwhile, Interstellar Peace Company is in turmoil, busy purging its internal structure and implementing the [Storage Protection] principle.
The more they investigated, the more they discovered that the previous violations were not isolated incidents.
Using grand and respectable banners to expand the market, and under the guise of bathing in the glory of the King of Amber, to suppress opponents and support cronies, such tactics are commonplace.
The situation is most severe in the market development department.
That's what they do. They're the most ruthless in their suppression, often fanning the flames and instigating wars. Once all the guys on the planet who opposed being incorporated into the company's territory are dead, a whole new market is opened up.
Oswaldo, relying on this profit-driven and morally bankrupt style of behavior, rose through the ranks to become the head of the development department, only to be used as a prime example by Hua Yi and executed with a single blow.
Now, the discovery of experimental imaginary pulse weapons and the scandal surrounding Chadwick's imprisonment have implicated the technology research and development department.
There's a real sense of unease about jade.
Not only is Hua Yi concerned about the company's image continuing to deteriorate and the possibility of it turning into a black behemoth, but also about some of his own actions...
"My lord, my foundation is [Jade Pawning]. In addition to my work in the investment department, I also run a Jade Pawning service, where people pay a price to trade with me."
"Ah."
Hua Yi nodded, indicating that he was listening, and let the mature woman beside him continue speaking.
Reporting?
The atmosphere at this moment is somewhat like turning oneself in.
Taking a deep breath, Emerald subconsciously tucked a strand of pink hair behind her ear. The action wasn't unusual, but the taut lines of her calves beneath her skirt still betrayed her mood.
"The Silver Chain Galaxy, a galaxy that had always resisted the company, until a rare ion storm, unseen for hundreds of Amber Ages, approached. A kind young woman there found me and begged to make a deal with me."
This has already happened.
Hua Yi could tell from her expression that, after observing Emerald's tense facial features for a while, he didn't try to make a joke or change the atmosphere.
You can't make jokes all the time.
Just like when he was talking to Chadwick earlier, and learned that after Chadwick was young and full of vigor, he was imprisoned and endured moral condemnation for hundreds of years, Hua Yi did not smile from beginning to end, and only acted as a listener.
Even jokes, casual remarks, and gentle gestures need to be timed appropriately.
The Milky Way galaxy is experiencing an ion storm, which is clearly a crisis for civilization.
Hua Yi stopped in his tracks.
"and then?"
Hey.
Emerald, who was standing next to him, quickly steadied herself. Her high heels clattered on the steps, but fortunately, the strong woman didn't lose her balance.
"To avoid chaos, the people on Silverchain Star did not receive the message. In fact, even if they had, it wouldn't have changed anything. There simply weren't enough interstellar ships to evacuate everyone from the planet to a safe place."
As for the company, there is certainly no reason for it to raise the banner of humanitarianism and spend a high price to save the Silver Chain Galaxy, which is not even one of its own.
Such is the law of the universe.
If Interstellar Peace Corporation were saints who did good deeds without considering the cost, they would never have been able to grow from a volunteer team collecting building materials into a galactic giant.
The jadeite is not deliberately embellished; the description is as objective as possible.
"The jewelry socialites of the Silver Chain Galaxy abandoned their early evacuation plan and came to me with many expensive gems that could be exchanged for ownership of an asteroid, such as [Ocean Dream], [Holy Blood], and [Century Treasure], requesting the company's intervention to ensure their home planet safely weathers the ion storm."
"If it's a smaller disaster, that should be enough."
Hua Yi noticed that Fei Cui kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, trying to read his expression.
If it were a more ordinary topic, Hua Yi might have teased this strong woman, but unfortunately it was an interstellar disaster.
"These chips are still too weak to deal with an ion storm."
"Yes. I said at the time that what the girl brought out was far from enough, so she added a third of the mineral rights in the Silver Chain Galaxy for a perpetual term."
Wow, this strong woman has quite a few expressions.
Hua Yi was close enough to capture every subtle change in Jade's eyebrows and eyes.
He almost reached out and touched the corner of the beauty's mouth, turning it into her usual faint smile, to compare the two expressions.
If it were topaz, Hua Yi would make a move, but it's jade, after all...
The relationship isn't that close yet; we refer to each other by our job titles.
"The jewelry socialite offered the mining lease rights, which should be all her assets, but judging from your expression, you still haven't agreed?"
"Yes."
Jade's eyes showed hesitation.
"The girl said she had nothing else to give me, but I reminded her that I could also make an exchange—become the company's agent in the Silver Chain Galaxy, and every minute and every breath I take thereafter will contribute to Amber King's cause until the last moment of my life."
This is where the problem lies.
The Strategic Investment Department and the Market Development Department, in essence, both serve the company's interests. Even if their methods aren't particularly ruthless, their philosophies seem somewhat incongruous with Huayi's illustrious savior-like image. 083
"When I was in Belleburg, I didn't resort to violence to resolve the issue when Toppa was demanding payment. Instead, I negotiated normally, talking about giving and receiving. Ms. Emerald, you don't think I was just being hypocritical and polite back then, do you?"
Hua Yi's lips twitched slightly.
Because the Galactic Chains galaxy was clearly saved from that ion storm.
"I would not ask anyone to make selfless contributions, and I don't mind receiving some benefits while doing good deeds."
"Just a little benefit is enough..."
Jade was still nitpicking over the words, which made Hua Yi laugh out loud.
"It's simply because the Black Tower Space Station, Belloborg, and Pinocchio—these forces don't have many useful treasures. Like a beautiful girl's heart, I've stolen it~"
A heart thief?
He is clearly the ideal king whom everyone hopes to have!
It carries out a fairytale-like rescue, yet it understands the human heart, never demanding that people eliminate selfish desires and achieve universal harmony like in fairytales, leaving only the most melodious note.
Mediocrity is not lowly, much less a sin.
He will bear the burden, he will bring change; as for those who ultimately benefit, let's just make sure they aren't the truly evil ones.
Emerald's eyes gleamed as she fully understood Hua Yi's true intentions.
I felt more than just relieved.
There's an even deeper, different kind of feeling that arises.
Chapter 637 I have two extraordinary items that will surely subdue Hanabi!
"You are truly... a hero who is like a fairy tale, yet transcends the fairy tale."
