Nicole von Shashanna's words made Chen Fei realize that Habulav's internal affairs weren't always united.
This is easy to understand; the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee was originally established by all sovereignties together, with headquarters set up in the heart of the mutant-infested Yangzhou Continent. With so many factions, how could they all work together? Undermining each other and vying for power is just everyday practice.
"Understood, understood, the Joint Defense Committee also has to look at people's expressions, right? Apart from this advance probe, who is the next one?"
Chen Fei was grateful for his Social Welfare Number.
If it weren't for The First Sovereign, more than just one oblivious, greasy uncle from the diterranean would dare to shout in his face. It's possible that his family would be implicated or even threatened.
But his uncle isn't one to ss with; anyone daring to touch the Chen's Family mber had better weigh their options.
Chen Xiao'er may be a commoner, but the Chen Family is not necessarily an ordinary commoner family.
Anyway, the joint mber from Gamada had already been taken away, and Nicole spoke candidly without concern: "I don't know. It's not up to to decide, but I must say that slap of yours was a good one!" She gave Chen Fei a thumbs-up.
She deeply despised those trying to take advantage and claim credit, who only caused trouble without being helpful. So, that slap was very satisfying.
Sitting in his chair, Chen Fei said seriously, "Has Habulav figured out how to answer my three questions?"
The feedback from Habulav would determine his final attitude. After all, the words have been laid out. At worst, he'll pull up stakes and leave. Only three things matter for occupying Erald Star: being able to reach it, capture it, and hold it. Anything else is just delusional.
Just being able to reach it is not sothing anyone can do. The S-Class Space Series Ability User, Hesseman Brown, would definitely not cooperate. They'd need to go themselves if they want it done.
Even if Blue Star had the ability to send personnel to Erald Star, they must wager Longinus's safety. Otherwise, if the gamble fails, they could lose more than just a handful of rice—they might lose their ho.
"Still arguing! More than one fight has broken out."
Nicole sighed. Habulav's top officials were fighting, the United Nations General Assembly was fighting, sovereignties were fighting; all the big players were vying to monopolize, at least to get the biggest piece of the pie.
Since Chen Fei is just a small role, all major powers and forces believe they can easily swallow him up and readily take Erald Star. So, the real contests are happening elsewhere.
It's like a group of ferocious carnivores surrounding a weak, helpless, and unlucky hamster, tearing each other apart in a bloodbath to decide who gets to swallow the unfortunate creature whole.
A tyrant?
Even a true tyrant is nothing against powerful sovereignties. Aren't there plenty of real tyrants who've been eliminated?
"When can they give a definitive answer?"
Chen Fei also felt helpless; this chaotic battle was far from over.
For the sake of benefits, people are willing to abandon their principles, let alone a planet that can ensure generations of prosperity for any family. Who wouldn't fight tooth and nail to be involved? Looking at Chen Fei himself, would he be willing to let go? Definitely not!
"This duration will be long; three to five months wouldn't be short, and eight to nine years wouldn't be too long either."
Nicole didn't want to get involved in this kind of ss, but that's how it is with Habulav's work. Every move is restricted by different sovereignties. There are always those who are satisfied and those who are not. Even voting doesn't help; a façade in public, backdoor dealings are common practice, and dirty tasks are constantly thrown around. Look, Miyoshi Xuesen is specifically tasked with that, and after it's done, they have to take the bla. It's not sothing a simple apology can resolve, so now Monk has packed his bags and left.
"Are we just going to wait for the Parasitic Species to take back Erald Star? I can't hold on for too long!"
Chen Fei pointed to the ground. Being held in the Heavy Criminal Prison with communication cut off was hardly different from being put in another cage.
"I'll ask for you again."
Nicole agreed with Chen Fei's words.
Regarding matters on Erald Star, his conversations with Habulav were mostly straightforward. Apart from the call with Miyoshi Xuesen last night, anyone could tell there was sothing wrong with their conversation.
Boom!~
The whole room shook violently, followed by a series of loud thuds that were getting closer to Interrogation Room 43.
With another rumble, a violent blast of air mixed with countless pieces of concrete crashed into Interrogation Room 43, filling the room imdiately with dust.
Chen Fei's neck was being choked by a thick arm. He heard heavy breathing next to his ear. Using his peripheral vision, he saw the person was a fat man. Looking at the direction from which the breach had co, he suddenly understood.
The man who had Chen Fei in a chokehold was the sa short, fat man who had been dragged not long ago by a squad of Prison Guards into Interrogation Room 21 nearby.
Interrogation Room 43 and Interrogation Room 21 were both odd-numbered rooms along the corridor. Breaking through more than a dozen interrogation rooms was truly impressive.
With a sudden lift, a five-foot-tall Battle Qi Fla burst upward, nearly reaching the ceiling.
The blonde girl, who was taken off guard, struggled to get up from the ground. She was rely an A-level Psychic Ability User, skilled in peering into people's minds but not in combat, fitting the non-combat type of supernatural power user. If it weren't for Chen Fei blocking her, the flying piece of concrete would have ended her right there.
Chen Fei patted the arm around his neck and calmly said, "I say, brother, is this polite?"
"Huh?"
The short, fat man who successfully captured Chen Xiao'er was taken aback. The person choked by him seed unusually composed.
"I'm not into guys!"
Chen Fei slled the sweat coming from behind, mixing with the sll of dust, causing him to frown.
"Neither am I. Don't move, or I might accidentally snap your neck. I'm of the Heavenly Order."
The short, fat man forced himself to appear calm, showing no intention of letting go.
"Theodore, don't do anything rash. He absolutely cannot be hard."
Nicole von Shashanna, the A-level Psychic Ability User, was so tense that her hair stood on end; she recognized the guy who had Chen Fei in a chokehold. That five-foot Battle Qi Fla,
if Chen Fei suffers, securing Erald Star becos hopeless, and the Blue Star Civilization would likely pay a heavy price to maintain its frontline against the "Sagali" civilization's invasion.
Just the defense operations at the "Sagali" civilization's ancestral star system could bankrupt several Blue Star sovereignties. The production costs of airships are nowhere near as economical as Chen Fei's Psi Skills; currently, with just so ammunition and supplies, the sovereignties' budget remains very optimistic. Soone once jokingly remarked, after all, it's the economics undergraduates who are fighting this battle; this war of economic calculations is quite professionally managed.
The short, fat man froze for a mont but then quickly reacted, shouting, "Who is he? No, I don't care who he is! I want to get out of here. Let go, or I'll kill him."
He's had enough of this dark, oppressive place—the Heavy Criminal Prison of Habulav.
"I say, does this kind of thing often happen here?"
Even though his neck was again tightened, Chen Fei remained indifferent, letting the person behind him drag him along.
If the other wanted to leave and could take him along, that wouldn't be so bad.
"'Rookie,' he's of the Heavenly Order!"
Nicole was both angry and anxious. Shouldn't this rookie be concerned about his own safety first?
Before this, Theodore had been a Sixth Rank War Professional here, despite the various thods suppressing him. Sohow, he suddenly broke through and breached into the Heavenly Order.
For soone like Chen Fei, just a B-level Ability User, facing soone of the Heavenly Order is like a chick facing a lion.
