Qu Jianlei asked, and Hertman answered without hesitation, "Na your price!"
Buying information of this level isn't about money, right?
Qu Jianlei thought for a mont and answered earnestly, "What if I want scarce resources?"
Indeed, it's not about money! Hertman remained silent on the other side of the watch.
To him, money wasn't a problem, even millions or billions weren't a big deal.
As long as he's willing to organize, that amount of money is negligible, once the boss is confird, he'll be the chief steward of the entire planet.
But scarce resources are a different matter, "That depends on the situation... I'm just soone who serves."
Qu Jianlei thought about it before speaking, "Can we agree the price is above a million?"
"No problem," before Hertman could answer, Gradi expressed her stance—she could make the call on this amount.
"But what you've ntioned isn't enough; we need more information."
Qu Jianlei didn't hold back and spoke about the star gate.
After finishing, Hertman straightforwardly replied, "I've heard about the star gate, but it definitely won't pass."
"Don't be so subjective, will you?" Qu Jianlei spoke lazily.
"If the guard captain concludes this way, today's conversation ends here, how about that?"
"Don't do that," said Hertman, "Correcting our misconceptions makes the intelligence more valuable, doesn't it?"
"Well, what can I do when I lack money?" Qu Jianlei sighed, "Kleis might agree to support him."
"Impossible, right?" Hertman still stuck to his viewpoint, "People from Star No. 4 won't forgive him."
"And what if they don't?" Qu Jianlei chuckled dismissively.
"As long as he becos the planetary leader, can they really drive him away?"
"You can just say it," Gradi finally couldn't hold back, "Two grown n, even more protracted than won."
Qu Jianlei chuckled, "If he needs the support of a Supre to challenge the position of planet governor?"
Gradi fell silent upon hearing this—this was the fundantal reason why she and her spouse focused on Kleis.
Hoyel wanted to confirm his position; Kleis was currently the biggest known opponent, impossible not to pay attention to.
The couple ford a coalition of vested interests, still wishing for more in the future, so of course they wouldn't overlook this intelligence.
However, Hertman saw more clearly than Gradi and comnted upon hearing.
"The promises of the Supre an nothing—the lunatic won't put it on paper, and he isn't from Star No. 4 either."
"I really don't know the specifics," Qu Jianlei calmly stated, "But Kleis seems intrigued."
"Are you sure Kleis seems intrigued?" Gradi frowned, "What leverage does Kushnier have?"
She paused and asked, "What was his expression at the ti?"
Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "I wasn't present then. I just heard from a friend."
Gradi's face didn't look good, "So you want to sell this piece of information for a million?"
Who are you making that face for? Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "Then no money, you can leave."
"Alright, Panda," Hertman finally spoke up, "She's just a woman, no need to take it seriously."
"This information is already worth a million... Didn't expect soone would want to make a fuss about this."
Have to admit, the guard captain's vision is indeed different.
But he still had to ask, "But... what conditions did that Supre offer to sway Kleis?"
Qu Jianlei answered solemnly, "I don't know, just heard he was intrigued... I wasn't on-site at the ti, only heard it ntioned."
He certainly couldn't admit he was there, or he'd not only expose himself but implicate others too.
Involving the cook would be one thing, but this could entangle the Earth Scholar organization, even possibly affect the Zi Jiu Immortal...
Qu Jianlei was quite reclusive—reclusive people least liked to affect others.
But Hertman wasn't soone easily fooled.
He calmly stated, "Then speculate what conditions might make Kleis dare defy most people's wishes?"
Would the so-called speculation really just be speculation? Just sothing to say.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a mont and asked, "What if Annette also supports the construction of the star gate?"
"Annette?" Hertman fell silent, only after a prolonged pause did he ask again, "Are you sure?"
Annette is the fourth in hierarchy on the planet, very close to the leader.
Originally, two and three were united against one and four, but if the third and fourth paired up, the second definitely couldn't stay put.
"Not sure," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "You said you wanted speculation."
Actually, it wasn't just speculation; he had calculated this for a long ti, believing this possibility to be the greatest.
And recalling the scene at the ti, Kushnier's lip movent probably articulated "Old Four."
Of course, he wasn't sure about this either; originally, he just wanted to use it to bluff Hertman.
Even if guessed wrong, it's still a reminder, isn't it?
But unexpectedly, Hertman voluntarily confird it, saving him from bluffing.
In the end, the possibility he ntioned was too terrifying, and the Guard Captain was directly frightened.
Now he admits it's speculation, but Hertman doesn't think it's speculation—it's certainly inconvenient to say, right?
Moreover, in fact, people in the governnt are also very concerned about "being always prepared for surprises".
So things may not happen, but what if they do?
The more concentrated the interests, the stronger the vigilance—Qu Jianlei views this psychology as a "persecution delusion".
The Guard Captain didn't realize this before, but now the more he thinks about it, the more fearful he becos.
So he doesn't even ask for evidence—doesn't the boss have to be on guard even if there isn't any?
"Annette and Kleis don't have a good relationship, what reason does he have to support?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Do relationships matter? Are there eternal friends? No, only eternal interests."
As long as your boss Hoyel is taken down, then Star No. 4 will usher in a new situation.
Hertman asked this question not necessarily to get an accurate answer, but to convince himself.
If Panda really has an accurate answer, he would be suspicious—how can you know so much?
After a mont's thought, the Guard Captain spoke again, "Your source of information..."
Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "Obtained by chance, I've just been paying a bit more attention to the military recently."
Hertman continued asking, "Why did you think of paying attention to the military?"
Qu Jianlei casually answered, "The Military Discipline Officer found faults with , and recently soone has been cozying up, I want to live clearly."
The Military Discipline Officer found faults with you—is it Gavin? Hertman didn't actually know this information.
But it's not a big deal, he himself is also from the military, so such news can be easily found out.
Cozying up... just as easily inquired about.
The key is that once you focus on the military recently, it's hard to ignore Kushnier, who has been causing quite a stir lately.
So it's not surprising that so of this guy's privacy has drawn attention.
After pondering for a mont, the Guard Captain slowly spoke, "Your speculation... makes so sense, indeed, we must guard against it."
He has already concluded it's a fact, but he still emphasizes it's a speculation with his words, he is indeed thoughtful.
"Won't you worry about bargaining since you disclosed this information first?"
This is a test from the Guard Captain, he wants to see what the opponent's caliber is.
It's not that he's arrogant, when Gradi last contacted Qu Jianlei, the Guard Captain was too lazy to show up.
To test him with words already considers the opponent a character.
Qu Jianlei paused, then smiled indifferently, "Then go ahead and bargain."
He was never really concerned about money, finding a reason to be short on cash this ti was rely to detach himself.
Otherwise, if soone noticed he was an aid teacher from Star No. 2, so associative imagination might arise.
It's worth noting that before Kushnier ca, he was also on Star No. 2—could there be any connection between the two?
If such speculation arises, his current actions beco drawing fire upon himself rather than borrowing soone else's knife to kill.
However, the Guard Captain heard his answer as another aning—try bargaining if you dare?
Hertman, truly a person who doesn't believe in evil.
He knows Panda has a background, but in his position, encountering people with backgrounds is countless, can they scare him?
Yet this ti is different, it concerns his boss's future.
Many might not accomplish things easily, but the ability to ruin things is more than sufficient.
The Guard Captain now knows Kleis and Annette might have secretly united, gaining an intelligence advantage.
If he really wants to bargain with Panda, the other party wouldn't need to do much, just inform Kleis of this intel.
"They already know about what you thought was secret collaboration!"
With just this point, Hoyel's planned covert counter-attack would be greatly hindered.
Even if the boss can ultimately protect himself, the inability to calculate against others is an imasurable loss.
Getting trapped in a major blunder for such petty gains, a wise person wouldn't do.
If Panda doesn't leak the intel to Kleis, but to Kushnier, he could gain the Supre's friendship.
Hertman is usually a proud person, has a bold spirit to take risks if provoked, but doesn't lack Qi cultivation skills.
Those who only know to fight can be guards, but not the Guard Captain.
He casually humd, "Just joking, you co to Gradi because you trust us, how could we bargain with you?"
After pausing for a bit, he spoke again, "What resources do you want to obtain?"
"Crystal is fine," Qu Jianlei casually replied, "if convenient, give so array materials, I've been studying arrays recently."
The rarity of array materials stems from information monopoly; if the actual authorization is reached, the cost isn't high.
After pondering for a while, the Guard Captain slowly responded, "Crystal is easy to say, array materials... let's discuss them when we et."
