The Alliance has ample capacity to handle all of this.
It was under such a background that Gu Jing arrived at Lingze Star.
After completing this mission as a tax envoy, he would continue to study for a few more years at the Alliance Ministry of Finance upon returning, and then whether he is dispatched to serve as a local official, or continue working in other governnt departnts of the Central Alliance for a few years, or even join the military, it would all be possible.
He could choose freely.
In this aspect, he was very grateful to his father.
Gu Hang never demanded that he must beco a certain kind of person, but he never relaxed in his education, even keeping him by his side at all tis, not avoiding discussing important matters even when he was just a few years old, allowing him to speak without restraint.
Back then, even if he didn’t understand, having been influenced by such exposure, he actually was not lacking in insight.
Since childhood, it wasn’t just his father’s personal guidance but also teaching from various distinguished teachers without interruption.
And later, when he ca of age and wanted to attend university, his father supported him as well; after graduation, he wanted to gain experiences in various departnts of the Alliance, not aiming to be an heir, but at least becoming a useful person, contributing his strength to the developnt of the Alliance, and his father supported all of it.
So what should he do?
He must handle his current responsibilities well in order not to let down any of it.
That’s how it was while studying, being one of the top perforrs; after graduation, when he joined the Alliance’s Departnt of Taxation, his work skills were also displayed.
He never denied having the strongest background and receiving the utmost support.
Yet equally, he could confidently say that his academic performance and work achievents, when stripped of his background advantages, were still top-notch.
And right now, as the tax envoy, he understood the responsibilities on his shoulders, significant to the Alliance, not at all sothing trivial, so, of course, he had to do it even better.
Sitting in a luxurious office chair for quite a while, he had roughly thought through what to do next.
"Send the morandum that Yang Shiwei tried to make sign, along with the one he eventually signed, to Rage Owl Star, with my suggestions attached."
"The Central Empire has clearly decided on the proposal to increase taxes. Since they have already dispatched Yang Shiwei for preliminary negotiations, regardless of the outco, subsequent further pressures are bound to follow."
"The morandum I had Yang Shiwei sign again emphasized strongly that the ’Alliance Plan’ is sacred and inviolable, with its core insisting that the Alliance tax amount should continue to be recognized at a fixed value of 21 trillion, without changes."
"This will beco our weapon in further negotiations with the Empire."
"Instead of waiting for things to develop further, it’s better to use this opportunity, using the morandum Yang Shiwei signed and his corrupt practices as a breakthrough point to take the initiative."
"I plan to deliver the account book, which the Central Investigation Bureau has, docunting Yang Shiwei’s transactions with various factions, to Holy Terra, contact individuals on the list, and unite with those forces in Holy Terra that earned money in trade variances, to collectively raise the Alliance’s voice in the Central Empire’s political scene, preemptively."
"If necessary, this docunt can be disclosed, along with details of the legitimate earnings in trade variances, potentially creating a political storm in Holy Terra."
"Requesting thoughts from Comrade Salihoovich on whether to execute this plan?"
In an empty office, Gu Jing spoke, appearing sowhat silly.
He neither activated any communication devices nor had any recording equipnt, almost like talking to himself.
However, after finishing his words, suddenly, arcs of electricity flickered around him.
A creature, about half human-sized and composed entirely of gentle electrical currents, appeared.
The body made of electricity, wings on its back, the arcs outlining feather after feather, vividly realistic. On its half-human torso, its neck stretched long, topped with the head of an eagle.
For those deeply researching demons, witnessing this scene would undoubtedly exclaim: this is a greatly terrifying demon shape, originating from the rarest type among Great Demons.
Such a powerful demon belonging to the most elusive and volatile seat of the Evil God is known as the Magic Lord of Thousand Changes!
Of course, this is not the actual Magic Lord of Thousand Changes. From its appearance, composed entirely of thunder, one can tell it’s a creation of Gu Jing’s father.
Yet, in a sense, it indeed is a Magic Lord of Thousand Changes.
Gu Jing was smart from a young age, inheriting many excellent genes from his parents.
And clever and wise individuals are always more prone to attract Jian Qi’s attention.
However, he himself did not possess extraordinary genius, rely being exceptionally wise among common people.
But combined with his status, it couldn’t help but invite greed.
A Magic Lord of Thousand Changes nad ’Sherovich’—the very one standing beside Gu Jing—set its sights on him.
The Magic Lords of Thousand Changes are adept at sches; unless crucial, they do not reveal themselves easily, utterly contrasting with the impulsive Slaughter Demons, existing at opposite extres.
Sherovich patiently road in Subspace, outside the Storm God Kingdom, cautiously hiding itself, casting tiny bits of influence upon Gu Jing.
It didn’t even attempt to deceive Gu Jing, only providing him with so ’wisdom.’
Understanding during reading becos easier, clearer during calculations, more mature in speech...
No matter the kind of parents, even those like Gu Hang and Yelisia, wouldn’t they want their child to be clever from a young age?
They wouldn’t.
Over several years, making Gu Jing’s natural intelligence a given, coupled with the education he received, the repute of prodigy and genius resounded in small circles.
Reaching this stage, it began to execute its plan further.
In Gu Jing’s dreams, it transford into a kind professor, resembling precisely the teachers from dayti education, engaging in discussions with him. Mostly, they talked about knowledge, but only occasionally, Sherovich would impart so toxic insights to Gu Jing.
He would say to Gu Jing, in this lifeti, you’ll never inherit the Alliance, as your father is immortal.
Your father might not even be a human.
You’re destined to live in the shadows all your life.
You must accomplish sothing so that the world knows you are not just Gu Hang’s son, you are unique...
Sherovich never dared to use direct ans to alter Gu Jing’s mind, fearing alerting Gu Hang.
This master of the storm has beco a presence difficult to provoke in Subspace. Perhaps Sherovich’s master, if caught Gu Hang, could easily eliminate him, but in the storm’s domain under that cold sun symbolizing the Human Emperor, could not be captured.
And Sherovich itself did not have the capability to confront it directly.
It could only, indirectly, sow a seed with so suggestive words from a young age in Gu Jing’s heart.
It hoped its plot would take root and sprout in decades or even a few centuries.
By that ti, a grand conspiracy, tumult, will surely unfold within the Alliance.
Its master, whom it fears and venerates most, would surely grant it an outstanding reward.
Perhaps it might even ascend to the rank of Divine Sovereign Demon because of it!
However, at the age of 9, Gu Jing, like many tis before, encountered the old professor in his dreams.
Sherovich invaded once again.
Yet, before it even got to say much to Gu Jing, the dream’s sky suddenly beca overcast.
Following that, it saw the figure of Gu Hang.
It yelped, reverting to its original form, becoming a humanoid bird, flapping its wings in an attempt to flee. But raging thunder seized and confined it within Gu Jing’s dream, with no escape!
