A serious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Delay the priority of this debt collection and go find a distinguished guest named Bai Yan first."

Toppa, a young man who became one of the "Stoneheart Ten" and a senior executive in the Strategic Investment Department, is a smart man.

She didn't ask why, but directly stated her conclusion:

"Debt recovery priorities are lagging? That guest must be no ordinary VIP. Could you tell me the details?"

The company will not let go of any debt that has not become a bad debt, and Toppa is well aware of this.

Deferred the priority of debt and sought out a VIP.

One can imagine just how distinguished this guest must be.

She recalled the rumors she had heard about online a while ago, and it seemed that Bai Yan was one of them.

But this invalid information did not help her work at all.

The company's communication came through again: "We don't know the details either, but you should know Ms. Black Tower, right?"

“I know. That member of the genius club who collaborates with the company, a proud genius, but her achievements are truly legendary.”

Toppa had heard of this genius and knew of his inherent arrogance.

Any one of her many achievements would have caused a huge stir in the academic world, but all of these achievements were bestowed upon one person.

Therefore, this arrogance rarely aroused disgust, but rather admiration, because that genius had every right to be arrogant.

The company representative spoke seriously and concisely to Toppa: "Can you imagine the identity of the person that Ms. Black Tower mentioned, the one who 'condescended to be my friend'?"

"This……"

Topa, who had a basic understanding of the Black Tower Lady's achievements and arrogance, was taken aback.

If it's simply a matter of delaying debt priority to receive guests.

The identity of this guest is still within the realm of imagination, but a guest for whom Ms. Black Tower said, "He condescended to be my friend"...

Simply having achievements superior to those of Lady Black Tower wouldn't have made her say such a thing.

The identity of such a person is imaginable, but most people wouldn't dare to imagine it in that direction.

The company's senior management continued, "We don't know what this important figure is doing on this planet. The changes here are very likely caused by him."

While continuing his communication, Topa once again looked around at the lush greenery around him.

In a short period of time, a planet was transformed from a land of ice and snow into what it is today; this was the work of that guest.

And the disappearance of that star's core...

Before Toppa could speak, the company concluded: "Based on the current situation, this important figure has a friendly attitude towards local civilization. Keep an eye on your men; some of them are young and impetuous, so don't let them cause trouble."

"I will be more careful."

Topa had no intention of letting those hot-blooded young guys cause trouble, and this business would be conducted as quietly as possible without affecting the lives of local residents.

However, the business direction has changed, and she, the [debt collector], is now helping the company take care of customers.

Or rather, a distinguished guest of unimaginable status.

The company just received this news and did not send anyone more suitable, presumably because they did not know the attitude of the distinguished guest.

Faced with such a distinguished guest, the company will not act rashly; it is not advisable to make enemies of such an important person.

Therefore, the important task of building good relations with distinguished guests now falls on her shoulders.

The company's senior management repeatedly instructed: "Suspend the asset appraisal for now, and also put the debt issue aside for the time being. Prioritize probing the guest's attitude towards local civilization."

Topa asked, "Are you planning to resolve this debt in a more amicable way?"

“If that distinguished guest is on their side, then of course we can consider it.”

While Toppa was still pondering, another voice came from the company's senior management: "But do you think such an important figure would simply accept our overtures?"

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Under the warm morning sun, apart from Himeko and Pam who stayed on the train, everyone gathered at the dining table in the lobby on the second floor of the Goethe Hotel.

Nguyen Mai displayed the same elegance as always during her meal.

Xing raised her arm, which was a little sore from training, and stuffed the bread into her mouth.

March 7th's attention was no longer drawn to breakfast, but completely captivated by Xiaoya beside her.

She barely used her utensils during the entire breakfast process, instead stuffing Xiaoya's mouth full with various foods.

Danheng and Walter ate in silence, occasionally exchanging a few words with Bai Yan.

Bai Yan sat near the window, quietly watching the scenery outside. A woman with short white hair led several groups of people in black uniforms into his line of sight.

Led by Silvermane Iron Guard garrison commander Jepard, the group was heading towards Crepper Castle.

Along the way, Toppa made the most of the time and had a brief conversation with Jepard.

Jepard walked alongside her, and according to Pera's draft of the Belleberg historical record, here is a brief account:

"That's how it is. The day before yesterday was January 1st of the Beloborg Resurrection Calendar. The eighteenth generation High Guardian, Lord Cocolia Land, left everyone at the end of her speech. The Goddess of Spring, Arilo, descended from the sky, took away her remains, and brought spring to the people."

After inquiring about the changes in spring, Topa also asked about Baiyan.

Many of Belloberg's people had contact with Bai Yan in these few days, and Jepard was no exception.

"The guest you're looking for, Bai Yan, is staying at the Goethe Hotel. He seems to enjoy afternoon tea and the view there. You can go there to find him after you've met the Great Guardian."

While gathering intelligence, Toppa also kept an eye on the situation inside Belloborg.

Since the asset appraisal business has been postponed, she can focus her attention elsewhere.

For example, the lives of the people here.

She saw people busy at work, most of them with smiles on their faces.

Unlike her home planet, they had smiles on their faces, smiles filled with longing for tomorrow.

The star core is gone, the rift has stopped expanding, spring has arrived, and all things are reviving.

Such a fragile yet resource-rich civilization might become a tempting treat in the eyes of other interstellar civilizations.

But if the important figure the company mentioned is on Belloberg's side...

Even a behemoth like a corporation, a colossus among interstellar civilizations, would not be so arrogant as to become its enemy.

Chapter 79 The Joke of the Interstellar Peace Company

Bronya took time out of her busy schedule to meet with Topa.

Topa didn't mention the debt from over seven hundred years ago, but simply told Bronya that they would postpone the business they were originally supposed to discuss here, leaving her in suspense.

Bronya watched Toppa leave Kripper Castle, then sat behind her desk, took out a document from over seven hundred years ago, and fell into deep thought.

The Interstellar Peace Company is documented in detail in records from over 700 years ago.

That was a colossal entity among interstellar civilizations, something that Belloborg could absolutely not contend with.

Jepard briefly reported to her the personal weapons of the company personnel; even just by looking at them, one could sense a certain intimidating presence.

Judging from information from over 700 years ago, the personal weaponry of those company members was definitely not simple.

This made her feel that Belloberg was like a skinny child who had entered the adult world before he had fully recovered after having his medical devices removed.

She was relieved that the other party had not shown any malice for the time being; otherwise, Belloberg's resistance would have seemed futile no matter what.

Are you worried about Belloberg's future?

A clear and ethereal voice suddenly rang in Bronya's ears; the voice seemed somewhat familiar.

“Children will eventually leave the ivory tower, but not immediately. Besides, they are far from being able to stand on their own right now; they are practically fragile.”

Bronya became alert and looked around, but didn't see a single person.

"The departure of winter, the arrival of spring, the care when one is unable to stand alone, the shelter when facing unmanageable disasters, and the constraint of not being able to become an evildoer... will all arrive as promised."

Bronya still couldn't find the other person. She recalled the letter her mother had left behind and combined it with the words "protection" and "constraint" the other person had spoken of.

She vaguely guessed who the other person was and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The clear voice continued without hesitation: "The one who buried the eighteenth High Warden of Beloborg was also her father."

After she finished speaking, the other person stopped responding to her.

Bronya recalled the words in her mother's letter: the spring god Arilro took her mother's body away, and the father god himself buried it in the spring of Beloborg.

……

Breakfast time has already passed.

Bai Yan held the last cup of tea in his hand to moisten his throat.

Xiaoya wanted to go play with Clara and Hook, so March 7th took her along, and Ruan Mei followed.

The exploration of the lower-level area was not yet complete, so I did not choose to join in the fun.

She had just finished breakfast and was peering out the window of the Goethe Hotel's second-floor lobby: "Who are those guys in black? We haven't seen them in the last few days."

Dan Heng explained to her simply, "The people from Interstellar Peace Company don't know why they're here."

Walter added, "In terms of public relations, the company is a giant conglomerate advocating free trade; in terms of operations, it's a business dictatorship that issues currency and monopolizes resources; but in terms of its founding principles, the company is a selfless supporter dedicated to the [protected] Star God."

Bai Yan finished his tea: "But that stonehead completely disregarded their actions."

The taciturn Dan Heng declined to comment on Bai Yan's words.

Walter and Xing were well aware that the other party had the right to call Xing God that.

Interstellar Peace Corporation does indeed belong to the [Protection] faction, but the [Protection] Star God Amber King, Kripper, has never paid attention to the company's actions.

To put it more bluntly, it's like the Annihilation Gang and the [Destruction] Star God Nanuk; the former believes in and worships him, while the latter disdains his actions.

Bai Yan put down his teacup: "I've met employees from many companies, all sorts of people, and then I learned something that even Ah Ha finds funny."

Xing turned around and asked, "What is it?"

Bai Yan smiled and said, "An organization that worships the [Guardian] Star God has many members whose behavior is even more arrogant than the [Guardian] Star God himself."

Only Xing and Bai Yan laughed out loud.
