Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

The board member, with his hands behind his back, walked to the viewing window and looked at the vast scenery outside.

"Never mind, this is a good thing. Change is good. A company that doesn't change has no future, a leader who doesn't change has no future, and a universe that doesn't change has no future either."

The divisions among the council members are widening, and the reason... well, let's just say it's a long time coming. No one can tolerate that guy's one-man rule any longer. In the upcoming War of the Gods, everyone wants a piece of the pie.

And my vision... is destined to come true; no one can stop me.

In any case, the huge success of this Xianzhou project ultimately fell to the Market Development Department. It was a pleasure working with you, Sir. I need your help to get me a seat on the board of directors. And I will naturally repay you for that.

This cooperation is beneficial to both sides. I hope we can get along well. Don't create obstacles for me. Otherwise... what good is an envoy then?

Oswaldo Schneider clenched his fist.

"Forward, forward! I must advance by any means necessary! I must advance!"

Beneath his sharply defined, cold expression, a fervent glint flashed in Oswaldo's eyes.

No one knew the source of his fanaticism, and whenever someone asked him this question, he would always answer with a matter-of-fact expression:

"For survival, for preservation! To lose humanity is to lose a lot. To lose animality is to lose everything."

With a wave of his hand, the relevant reports were sent to each member of the board of directors.

He stood there quietly, waiting.

The board meeting is about to begin!

Chapter 254 Board of Directors

Time flies, just like anywhere else. It doesn't slow down because of wealth.

In the blink of an eye, the board of directors of the Interstellar Peace Corporation convened in Pierpoint.

For middle and lower-level employees, it was just another day like any other.

However, for those in high positions who are aware of the situation, today is a momentous historical moment that could influence the world.

Beneath the majestic monument of the Pierpoint, bathed in the radiance of the Amber King, this usually solemn and empty hall once again welcomes visitors... or rather, its inhabitants.

This place is called the Supreme Meeting, also known as the High Table, or the Council.

However, what it's called doesn't matter; its value lies solely in the five figures seated around the high table.

They dress elegantly but not ostentatiously, and don't need to wear expensive accessories that flaunt their status; that would only make the expensive accessories more valuable.

They are the most powerful people in the universe, they are at the top of the company, and they control the flow of global wealth.

Among them are men and women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin, yet beneath their figures lies a wealth of history and profound heritage.

"Ahem, everyone, time is almost up. Let's get ready to begin."

A slow, deliberate male voice rang out.

The first to speak was a portly man who stroked his neatly groomed beard, his smile and the gaze behind his glasses both hidden in shadow.

"Shouldn't we wait a little longer? The old man hasn't shown up at such a ceremonial moment? Maybe there will be a surprise."

The young-looking man spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Wait a minute? Rules are rules. The board's time is precious. How much loss to the company's wealth would occur if we delayed each director by even one minute?"

A hoarse female voice echoed around. Mrs. Scarface, the head of the Business Consolidation Department, clasped her hands together and squinted at the crowd.

"As expected of the head of the Business Consolidation Department, you really know how to follow the rules. Mr. Keane, don't forget the old traditions of the Building Materials Logistics Department!"

A playful female voice rang out.

"OK OK."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, the old manager of the traditional project department stood up and tried to smooth things over.

"Everyone, let's prioritize harmony. Now that we've met the minimum vote requirement, let's get ready to begin."

Looking at the old manager's kind and gentle face and tone, the people present gave him various looks, and then they all stood up.

.........

Beneath the bright, transparent glass dome, five figures stood quietly.

Compared to the more modern meeting rooms elsewhere in Pierpoint, this place has a more religious feel.

Ancient, solemn, dignified, and sacred.

The Amber King's radiance shone through the dome and onto the Star Peace Corporation logo in the center of the ground.

In this bright light, not even a shadow was visible on the smooth ground.

Looking up now, each of them could behold the Amber King's majesty. But no one did.

"Since the East is absent, let me begin. The Amber King's giant hammer slowly falls, and the Amber Era 2158 officially begins. Today, under the witness of the Amber King, the board of directors of the Interstellar Peace Corporation is convened once again."

The opening ceremony was officiated by Taravan Keane, the senior executive in charge of the building materials logistics department and the storage order officer.

"Throughout this past Amber Age, the company has continued its mission of preservation, leading the galaxy forward. All this is thanks to the protection of the great King of Amber. Before we begin, let us offer our praises together..."

The Taravan were solemn, and the same expression appeared on everyone's face. They spoke in unison, each with their own distinct manner of greeting:

"All is dedicated to the King of Amber!"

After the ceremony concluded and this solemn and sacred opening took place, everyone took their seats.

"Let's begin then. What's on the agenda? We can bring it up now."

"Heh, let's continue with the issues we didn't finish discussing last time," a light chuckle rang out.

"Is it another one of your visions for a new cosmic order?"

The capable-looking woman curled her lip, her voice tinged with disdain.

"Of course, a new era has arrived, and the war of the gods is also approaching. At a time when all the forces in the galaxy are beginning to take center stage, isn't a framework vision like mine just what's needed?"

Seeing that the crowd was either silent or uninterested, the speaker did not give up. With a fervent passion for his vision of preservation, he continued to peddle his ideas:

“Look at this board of directors. We all share the same ideals and beliefs, but our demands have led to disagreements. Since neither radical nor conservative approaches can satisfy everyone, why not consider my new order?”

He paused, observing the expressions on everyone's faces:

"In this chaotic universe, only by establishing systems can chaos be combated. And as entities of capital and defense, corporations are the sole builder of this resistance to chaos. This is the path promised by the Great Amber King."

In my new order, intellect can be used to our advantage, harmony will have a place, and the hunt will clear away obstacles. As for destruction, abundance... oh, and pioneering..."

Don't you think you're being a bit delusional?

The scarred woman scoffed, interrupting him.

"A vision? You always have to think about that." The man shook his head with a sheepish smile.

"Speaking of pioneering... I didn't expect these nameless guests to reappear in the last Amber Period. Really..."

He paused, then suddenly looked at Taravan with a smile.

“Mr. Keane, I heard that your vote actually landed on Diamond. It’s unbelievable. That previously unknown Oswaldo Schneider… wasn’t he also someone you helped up?”

"Hmph, what support or not, we're all colleagues in the company. The world is undergoing a major upheaval, it's just a matter of making choices that are more in the company's best interest."

Taravan glanced at him, his voice indifferent:

"Even though the person is about to retire, it's not very polite to discuss the successor in front of them."

"It's alright. I'm used to it now that I'm about to leave this damn position."

A crisp female voice rang out, but it sounded somewhat uninteresting.

The two people opposite her were very polite in their words, but they couldn't wait for her to get out of there.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly—once the successor arrived on the board, the balance of power that had been maintained for hundreds of years was likely to be broken.

However, that's something for Dongfang to worry about; old man, this is what he deserves.

Looking at the board members in front of her, each with their own thoughts, the woman wore a hearty smile.

.........

"It's truly a momentous and dramatic event. Hearing these news reports makes me feel like I'm getting old."

After the agenda was completed, the old manager expressed his feelings in Tian.

"Zai Tian, ​​there's no need for such sighs. Everyone knows you still often reminisce about your detective career when you were young. Wasn't your past experience much richer than this?"

"Sigh, it's all in the past. Now I'm just a nostalgic old man, watching young people who are not even a fraction of my age rise to higher positions, and watching old friends gradually disappear. So I just stay here in this old building of the traditional project department and reminisce about the past."

No one would underestimate this kind old man as a staunch supporter of Dongfang Qixing on the board of directors.

"Speaking of young people, I don't know if you've received the report from the market development department. It's unbelievable that another greenhorn has emerged from under that young man's subordinates..."

Taravan suddenly spoke calmly, and everyone's gazes finally changed.

"Unexpectedly, in this new era, the company has welcomed a new envoy—Lin Yuan."

A calm voice boomed like thunder, and the most important agenda item of this board meeting was finally brought to the fore.

...........

Chapter 255, page 46

“The messenger…”

In the brief silence, the board members present were all silently pondering the weight of this word.

Even the most powerful people in these galaxies deserve respect when faced with the ultimate representation of individual power.

After a moment, the man peddling his vision of the new order's eyes brightened slightly, and he asked, "Can the information be confirmed?"

"A battle between the envoys did indeed occur on the Immortal Ship Luofu, with the two sides including the Great Lord of Annihilation and the Hunting Heavenly Generals."

I believe that after receiving the news, everyone has already verified the authenticity of the matter through their own channels, and the footage leaked from the scene matches the report.

So... whether it really is the messenger or not, those of you who are interested can try it for yourselves.

Talavan shrugged.

"Heh, the truth often comes out in the details. The cooperation report with Xianzhou can't be fake, can it?"
