Chapter 279: Chapter 198: Prisoner’s Dilemma

Jiuyue only knew that the atmosphere in the banquet hall was very oppressive, but she had no idea what was transpiring.

After observing for a while, she also discovered that the cherry tomatoes provided at the banquet were very sweet, seeming to be a new variety from another planet, with a taste that was a mix of waterlon and kiwi.

She picked up a cherry tomato and brought it to Duan Mingyuan’s lips, while attentively listening to Duan Mingyuan’s explanations, her sharp ears twitching.

This was what the Fox Demon looked like when she was concentrating.

But at the ti, she was too busy laughing to think so deeply.

"The current situation is the sa. Although all the councilors claim they will vote against, the voting process is confidential. Until the votes are counted, they will never know the choices of the others."

Voting against would have much more severe consequences than leaving a dark history. Not only would they face danger on the return journey, but it was foreseeable that the Shanqi Comrce Association would definitely impose economic sanctions on their planets.

If all the councilors from each planet united, perhaps they could survive this crisis. But if any of them betrayed, or if the majority did, leaving only two or three "scapegoats
