Chapter 1558: 1446, compensate
But despite lying, the Stellar Level bigshots exchanged glances among themselves, and none of them stepped forward to criticize Yu.
After all, this matter was highly confidential to begin with.
“Fine, if you don’t want to talk about it, then let’s leave it…” Speaker Lemo didn’t dwell on this further and moved on to the next topic.
However, Yu suddenly said, “My lords, I’ve used up all my most prized possessions, suffered imnse losses—could you give so compensation?”
“Compensation?” Speaker Lemo froze in place.
“Exactly,” Yu nodded earnestly, “This treasure of mine is worth at least forty or fifty billion. Could the governnt compensate for my losses? Even half would do!”
“Well…” Speaker Lemo and the surrounding bigshots were collectively speechless.
Just monts ago, they had been discussing Yu’s calculative nature, but now they saw they had underestimated him. His greed was on a whole other level!
To use one’s treasure and then demand compensation from the governnt—this was sothing completely unprecedented.
Who behaves like this? If everyone did, the governnt would go bankrupt in no ti.
“Let’s table this issue for tomorrow’s council eting.” Speaker Lemo didn’t outright refuse but gracefully tried to dodge the matter. “We’ll discuss tomorrow whether to compensate you and, if so, in what amount.”
“Co on!” Yu knew that once the issue entered a council eting, there was no way it would pass; there wasn’t any precedent for such compensation.
But a sudden idea struck Yu, and he said, “My lords, let’s not push this to tomorrow’s discussion. I hope you can grant the compensation today—and a sizable amount at that!”
“Why?”
The Stellar Level bigshots looked at Yu in confusion. Why was he suddenly becoming so demanding?
Yu replied solemnly, “Because I have a list—a list of items needed to repair the crashed AI Blue Whale.
I need to start collecting the items on that list.
Ti is of the essence, and I must leave the hub today. I won’t be able to attend tomorrow’s council eting.
So, I hope you can grant compensation today.”
“Oh… So you want to… Hold on, you can repair AI Blue Whale?”
Yu’s words stunned the Stellar Level bigshots!
In an instant, the bigshots moved swiftly, surrounding Yu in a tight circle and staring at him in disbelief.
In their excitent, their Stellar-Level pressure spread out in waves, sending tremors across all of Hemis City.
“Yu, you… You claim you can repair AI Blue Whale?!” The Stellar Level bigshots were in utter shock.
What mattered most to them wasn’t Jared’s betrayal—it was the crash of AI Blue Whale.
This was Lord Berna’s mission for them, and AI Blue Whale would play a critical role in future wars, possibly contributing more than any of them individually.
The attack disabling AI Blue Whale had left them unable to account to the hub.
And now Yu said he could repair Blue Whale? If he succeeded, it would be a trendous achievent—a case of saving a dire situation at the eleventh hour.
Thus, everyone stared intensely at Yu, waiting for him to confirm.
Yu certainly wouldn’t disappoint these bigshots. He nodded seriously and confidently, signaling he was up to the task.
But before Yu could say anything, Jared, who had been sealed off to the side, suddenly burst out laughing, “Haha, repair? Don’t let him fool you! How could that possibly be repairable?
Yu, do you even know the exact issue before talking about repairs? Are you just looking to scam so compensation and then… uh huh uh…”
Jared’s mocking tone was outrageously brazen, but he was abruptly silenced halfway by Ashley, who raised her hand to mute him. This traitor was simply too annoying.
