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

"Report! They're here!"

A guard rushed through the gate and shouted.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the massive corporate frigate was slowly descending, breaking through the clouds.

Chapter 89 Companies and Corporations

Looking out the porthole at the giant mushroom cloud rising below, Bronson felt a little heavy-hearted.

"...Bronson, what happened?"

Sakura's urgent voice came through the communication channel.

"I have failed the captain's trust and failed to protect Krim V."

Bronson paused for a moment before speaking.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things!"

Yingduo's voice sounded exceptionally serious.

"On the battlefield, no one can be perfect, and in the entire galaxy, no one can claim to protect everything. What we should do now is not to blame ourselves, but to take immediate remedial action, at least to reduce the trouble for the captain."

At this moment, the four escort ships had finished clearing the battlefield and were approaching the Krem V's near-Earth orbit.

“I agree with Sakura. What we are doing now is providing the world with advanced medical and reconstruction assistance. Our frigates carry the relevant equipment, and there are also many backups on the flagship.”

Vera's voice rang out, and the immense destruction unfolded before her eyes, filling everyone with a sense of sympathy and heaviness.

Beside her, Cecilia quietly gazed out the porthole.

"Did my hometown ever experience something like this?"

Upon hearing this question, Vera's heart tightened.

Turning my head to look, I did not see the vulnerability I had expected on the girl's face.

A resolute look emerged in Cecilia's gentle, clear eyes.

"Let's go help them."

"It might be dangerous down there, you..."

“I possess the power of healing. I can do it, can’t I, Sister Vera?”

Her voice, usually soft and elusive, seemed to carry weight at this moment.

"........Um."

Under Cecilia's gaze, Vera couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"So, can we get in touch with the captain now?"

Wu Qi's voice rang out at this moment. Faced with such a critical situation, the first person that came to his mind was Lin Yuan.

"Unable to get in touch."

After a moment of silence, Bronson said in a deep voice.

"Inform the planetary representative of Krim V that we will provide them with all necessary assistance."

"clear."

The group reached a consensus, and the escort fleet immediately descended in altitude, while the relevant information was also sent to the surface on a large scale.

.......

At the far end of the planet, another ship bearing the logo of the Interstellar Peace Corporation was also heading towards the planet.

Commissioner Smith looked at the scene on the distant planet and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Well done, colleagues in the market development department. This is truly maximizing profits."

Seeing the captain beside him looking puzzled, Smith, in a very good mood, unusually explained:

"Although the leadership of this world outwardly agrees to deep cooperation and accepts the company's technical support, my private investigation has revealed that there are still many die-hards within the organization who refuse to accept the company's order, and some are even plotting to sabotage the agreement."

But now, a small collision is enough for them to understand just how fragile a nascent civilization is in the face of the universe, and what kind of order the company can bring them.

In this way, complex agreements will become simple, and we can make them incur huge debts.

"What if...they choose to resist?"

"Hehe, that would be even better." Smith didn't say anything more.

"Many times, the company criticizes the aggressive approach of the market development department, but how can they know that the most difficult part of a project is the resistance faced during the consolidation phase?"

.......

The four escort ships slowly descended, their forms now fully visible to the Kremians.

Faced with this awe-inspiring colossal ship in the sky, ordinary people are either bewildered or awestruck, their hopes for the future suppressed by a sense of unease.

Beneath these worried gazes, many others concealed anger and indifference.

"Report: No feedback has been received from local official forces."

The company's messages went unanswered, causing Bronson and others to have doubts.

"No matter what, let's start the rescue first."

Everyone nodded. The escort ship then adjusted its course and descended towards the ruins of Sky City.

But at that very moment, an alarm sounded in the frigate's system.

"Warning, weapon lock signal detected."

"what?"

Bronson's expression changed, and he pulled up the live video feed.

In the surrounding clouds, the silhouettes of numerous small aircraft and fighter jets gradually emerged.

On the ground heat map, more hidden weapon positions were revealed, with cannons pointing at the airships.

"How could they...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the operator next to him suddenly reminded him.

"Report! Video communication received on the public channel!"

"Bring them in."

The screen lights up, and a man in military uniform with sharp eyes appears on the screen.

"Dear members of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, I am addressing you."

The other person's gaze was resolute yet fierce, as if suppressing anger.

"What do you want? We are here for peace."

Bronson looked at the other person and responded in a deep voice.

"Peace? Look at everything before you, is this what you call peace?"

The man in military uniform gave a slightly mocking smile and continued.

"I'm sorry, everyone, but given the current situation, we can no longer allow you to interfere in our affairs. Could you please leave our planet?"

Bronson was not angry after hearing this; he simply spoke calmly.

"We sincerely regret the damage caused to your side by the interstellar pirates. Our ship is equipped with various medical and rescue equipment that can help you save lives as quickly as possible."

"Heh, interstellar bandits, whatever you say. As for aid... sorry, we don't need outside help. We'd rather take our destiny into our own hands!"

For a moment, both sides fell silent. Distrustful glances echoed through the signal.

"At a time like this, life should be the top priority. If you do not trust us, you may allow the rescue team to enter, and our warships may temporarily withdraw."

A female voice interrupted the conversation, and Yingduo's image appeared on the screen.

The man in military uniform's eyes flickered slightly as he noticed the newly appeared female figure.

After a moment of silence, his tone softened slightly.

"We have suffered such an attack, and the company should understand our emphasis on sovereignty and the safety of our citizens. However, I also see your desire for assistance. So... please send a representative to participate in our meeting. I think... we need to find a consensus."

"Then let's leave it at that."

The two sides reached a preliminary agreement.

Just then, another voice suddenly interrupted the public channel:

"A meeting? As a special envoy of the Business Consolidation Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation, I think I should also be entitled to attend, right?"

Commissioner Smith's smiling face appeared on the screen.

"You bastard...you still dare to do that?"

Upon seeing this, Bronson immediately rebuked him.

"No problem, everyone can participate."

But then the man in military uniform raised his hand slightly, a smile appearing on his face, while a sharp gaze was hidden behind it.

.......

Chapter 90 Negotiation

After the communication was cut off, Bronson's face turned completely grim.

"If they had been able to intercept that spaceship, none of this would have happened. Now that things have escalated to this point, how can he still have the nerve to attend the meeting!"

"Shouldn't such a person be investigated and punished for allowing the company's projects to suffer losses?"

Wu Qi, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

He hadn't been angry at the man in military uniform's aggressive behavior, but he found it hard to understand the actions of his colleagues.

"There's nothing we can do but submit a report afterward."

During the communication, Yingduo shook her head.
