After the Li family surrendered, Li Hanzo was captured and the attached machines were all removed from his body. His chanical augntations were also shut down with a special thod of the Truth Guild. In the power system of this sci-fi world, an individual gained strength by training their body to be able to withstand special augntation done with a special material called Xenopherus. Anyone who could withstand more augntation of this kind could grow super strong very quickly.
Other than that, replacing various body parts with various machines was also a way to grow stronger in this world. Li Hanzo had used both of these thods but the Truth Guild had ways to disable both.
Only after that he was allowed to sit down for a "negotiation". This negotiation was going to have three phases and in each phase, a different group would told their demands to him. Even though it was called a negotiation, with Li Hanzo being the losing side, he did not have much ability to refuse anything.
The first group that sat down on the table with him was the party from the world of PALDORA. They again did not ask for anything outrageous and made simple demands. Other than the demand to stop the Oblivion and to disband it, Heity also asked the Li family to pay for the destruction that had happened with what the Oblivion tried to do. Other than that there were a few specific demands that Jean and the other ladies had ca up with but none of them were too harsh. So Li Hanzo did not even try to reject any of them and accepted everything. So the negotiation of the first phase went extrely smoothly.
But that was not the case for second and the third phase. For the second phase, it was the imperial family who were on the negotiation table and their demands were extrely troubleso. They wanted the Li family to beco a part of their faction by betraying the faction of the three duke. That was an impossible demand for Li Hanzo.
When Li Hanzo rejected the terms, the imperial family imdiately threatened them. Li Hanzo was told that if he did not follow their demand, his whole family would be wiped out. But surprisingly, even with the threat of bloodline disappearance, Li Hanzo was stubborn and did not accepted the terms that the royal family offered. It was clear that he was not just putting up an act and even if he and his whole family were killed right then and there, he still would not change his mind. So at the end, it was the imperial family who had to take a step back and offer sothing that Li Hanzo was willing to accept.
Then in the third phase, it was the truth guild's turn. The truth guild had an infamous reputation for being filled with greedy people who were research freaks so Li Hanzo was ready to be given so insane demands. But the demands that the mbers of the Truth Guild made actually even surpassed his expectations. They asked for many many things, including Li family mbers with high quality blood for experint, their heirloom, all the research results and more.
If Li Hanzo actually accepted this demand, then the family would lose over 80 percent of their total value. There was no way, Li Hanzo could accept that. But unlike the Imperial family, the mbers of the Truth Guild were more stubborn. So they also refused to give up on their demands. Just like that, the third phase of the negotiation lasted for over six hours, the longest.
It was Shu Jianxin who showed his qualification as a expert guild head and managed to calm the situation down with his super good negotiation skills. He ca up with sothing that the both parties were able to agree and just like that, the negotiations ca to an end.

After everything was over, Elena decided to return back to PALDORA first to drop the girls' off. Then she would return again to et with Ompenhyner's mother and to buy so things from this world. But the return trip could not happen before another big celebration party. Elena also needed to get the Gaze of Veria first.
So she stayed in this world partying with the ladies for a day. Then after the Gaze of Veria was delivered to her, she imdiately started the returned trip. Before the departure, everyone who had get to know them ca to bid farewell.
Hongjuan had managed to use this chance to join the imperial faction. Obviously his position there was not high. But with the imperial family behind him, he at least did not need to worry about getting secretly destroyed and the imperial family also did not asked for access of his whole domain. So overall, he was satisfied with his new position.
The other people related to this whole incident also managed to get quite a bit of profit. So they were all in a good mood. Taking this chance, Elena made everyone to promise that they would make sure that sothing similar was never going to happen again in the future.
After that, finally this little but eventful adventurer in a different world ca to an end.
...
The return trip was completely safe and nothing troubleso blocked their ways. For the return trip, Elena had used a ship that was gifted to her by the truth guild. They wanted to maintain a good relationship with Elena and she was fine with excepting this gift. The imperial family were also planning to gift Elena a ship but Elena refused this ti and instead asked the imperial family to give that space ship to the inhabitants of PALDORA.
So on the return trip, Elena also taught the ladies how to drive a spaceship. Kasumi was most excited to learn it and she was also the fastest learner in the bunch. Now with this knowledge, if for any reason the inhabitants needed to go to the void in the future, they would have a way without asking help from the truth guild.
The two mbers of the truth guild were also satisfied with the results of this expedition. They had managed to complete the mission given to them, have found a decent amount of research material and even had an internal negotiation with Shu Jianxin where they had gotten so benefits from him too. All in all, both Gotou and Kita were extrely satisfied.
After returning to the world of PALDORA, Elena did not stay there for long. She handed the ladies their spaceship, t with Lifua and Ompenhyner, then imdiately left the world again. But this ti she was not using the spaceship and instead used her world teleportation because that was faster.
She had given Lifua a way to contact her and she was planning to co back to this planet occasionally. But for the ti being, it was ti to start the second phase of her little otherworldly adventurer which would bring her to more worlds.
