Capítulo 1291: Chapter 467: Peace Talks 3 (5-in-1)
Inside the Thunder Extre Command Room.
Ferion sat down on the command chair, leaning his head against the backrest, he said to Jone with a headache.
“Jone, what do we do now? We can’t reach an agreent through negotiation, and we can’t hand over the items either, it feels worse than risking our lives on the battlefield.”
“You’re asking ? Who should I ask then? I’m not a politician.”
Jone also felt overwheld.
At this mont, Colonel Zhou Quan rushed over to Ferion and Jone, shouting with urgency.
“General Ferion, sothing has happened.”
“What happened?”
Ferion, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly stood up with a change in expression.
“Soone has posted about us asking Rain Capital for 20 trillion worth of supplies on the Star Cluster Forum, now everyone in Rain Capital is furious, the situation is escalating.”
Colonel Zhou Quan reported fearfully.
Upon hearing this, both Ferion and Jone’s faces turned green. They quickly lifted their wristbands to check the Star Cluster Forum.
There was an anonymous post pinned to the top of the forum.
“Thirteenth Legion—For Justice or Vampires?”
Ferion clicked into the post and took a glance. It contained a video clip showing Ferion in the palace demanding 20 trillion worth of supplies from City Lord Alicia.
The clip was edited, cutting out the beginning and the end, leaving only the segnt where supplies were demanded.
The post had already garnered millions of comnts, and the number was rapidly increasing.
“I’m grateful for the Thirteenth Legion’s support in alleviating our urgent crisis. But demanding 20 trillion just to help us, isn’t that blatant extortion?”
“Ha, fellow brothers and sisters, see that? Our own people are harsher than the enemies!”
“Protest, strong protest!”
…
“Old Fei, what do we do?”
Jone asked in shock.
“I don’t know either, but I feel like the sky is falling.”
Ferion’s face turned from green to black.
If this isn’t handled well and leads to a rift between Rain Capital and the Federation, they might end up taking the fall for this.
….
The next day, early morning.
Thunder Extre · Observation Deck.
Irelia stood with her hands behind her back, coldly observing the outside of the ship.
Dense groups of soldiers from Rain Capital and officers like Marina were gathered at the entrance, holding up banners.
The banners prominently read.
“Protest, protest, protest!”
“Severe protest against the Thirteenth Legion’s opportunistic robbery, extorting massive wealth!”
“We demand fair treatnt, refuse oppression…”
…
Irelia watched this scene with an unchanged expression.
Thump thump!
At this mont, urgent footsteps could be heard.
mbers of the Thirteenth Legion were quickly mobilized to guard the entrance to prevent any disturbances at the protest site.
Seeing this, Marina and the others shouted even more angrily.
“Protest! Protest!”
…..
At this mont, Su Ming approached carrying buns from a distance.
Seeing the lively Thunder Extre entrance, he looked surprised.
When he got closer, he deliberately stopped to look at the banners held by Marina and others, checking the words written on them.
At this mont, Marina and the others noticed Su Ming returning and imdiately stood up straight.
They respectfully saluted Su Ming.
“General Su Ming!”
“Hmm, good morning everyone, have you eaten breakfast? Would you like so?”
Su Ming opened the bag of buns he was carrying and asked.
“No, we’ve already eaten.”
“Oh, alright, I’ll head up then.”
After saying that, Su Ming walked towards the ship.
However, after taking only a few steps, Su Ming stopped and turned his head towards Marina and the others, smiling as he spoke.
“Carry on with what you’re doing!”
“Protest against the Thirteenth Legion, protest against the Thirteenth Legion!”
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Marina and the others resud raising their hands, shouting in protest.
Su Ming smiled, then headed straight into Thunder Extre, making his way towards the command room.
As he passed the observation deck, he saw Irelia descending the steps.
“Senior Irelia, I brought breakfast, want so? These buns are quite nice.”
Su Ming called out with a smile.
“No thanks, they’re too greasy.”
Irelia shook her head and replied.
“Then I’ll take them to Old Fei and the others.”
Su Ming said with a hint of regret upon hearing Irelia’s refusal.
“Okay.”
Irelia nodded slightly.
“I’m off.”
Su Ming then headed towards the command room.
Irelia watched Su Ming’s back, pondered for a mont, and then followed him up.
Soon, Su Ming reached the command room.
Ferion and Jone, upon seeing Su Ming, ran over eagerly as if they had seen their savior, grabbing Su Ming and saying.
“Su Ming, you’re finally back.”
“Hmm, I brought so famous at buns from here, all-natural. Would you like so?”
Su Ming raised the bag of buns in his hand and said.
“Oh co on! Is it ti to think about buns now?”
Jone said, half amused, half exasperated.
“Huh? What’s happened now?”
Su Ming looked at the two in confusion.
“What do you an, don’t you know about the huge commotion…”
Ferion’s words trailed off as he saw Irelia walking in, suddenly beca stiff, and swallowed back what he was about to say.
Seeing Ferion and Jone suddenly beco so reserved, Su Ming smiled and asked.
“So what’s going on?”
“It’s nothing, just that our demand for 20 trillion from Rain Capital got leaked, and now the people of Rain Capital are riled up.”
Jone coughed and said.
“I saw that, it’s pretty normal if you ask ; the amount we demanded is indeed too much. I’d cause a fuss too.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“Su Ming, this is really urgent, aren’t you worried?”
Ferion said in anguish.
“What’s there to worry about.”
