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

"That Commissioner Smith belongs to the Business Consolidation Department, which has jurisdiction over another department. As employees of the Market Development Department, we can only submit reports to our superiors and request the review team's assistance in the investigation, but this takes time, and we don't know how much wrangling will follow."

"Damn program!"

Bronson cursed under his breath, then changed the subject.

"I will attend the negotiation meeting. You are responsible for coordinating disaster relief, and you should act immediately once progress is made."

“I’ll go too. I’m quite experienced in negotiations.”

Sakura's expression was unusually serious, devoid of her usual ease.

"it is good."

Bronson knew he wasn't very good with words, so he needed an expert's help.

"In addition, the safety of the negotiating team needs to be guaranteed. Given the distrust shown by the other side, we cannot send a large-scale armed force, so we need the protection of individual combat personnel."

"I'll go with you!"

Wu Qi's voice rang out at the opportune moment. Since the Thousand Star City operation, such cooperation had become a tacit understanding.

"Okay, it's settled then. Vera will handle the rescue work. Also, keep in touch with the captain and keep him informed of the situation here as soon as possible."

Looking at the coordinates received on the screen, Bronson said in a deep voice:

"Set off."

Soon, a landing ship shuttled between the escort ships, picked up the personnel, and quickly headed towards the target location.

........

Tiandu Stadium

This is the core venue for Krim V to host large-scale conferences.

At this moment, the entire area within a radius of hundreds of kilometers has been taken over by the defense forces, and all civilians and media are prohibited from entering.

The lander, bearing the IPC logo, slowly descended in front of the main entrance to the Sky City. Bronson and his group stepped off the gangway and strode towards the magnificent building ahead.

At the entrance of the venue, several figures stood waiting quietly.

The man in the lead was the same man in military uniform seen in the communication screen. Beside him stood a tall, unassuming man with an upright posture.

"Welcome to the company's representatives. Your willingness to come demonstrates the company's attitude."

Compared to his previous aggressive demeanor, the man in military uniform appeared much more peaceful at this moment.

"I didn't ask before, but now I'd like to ask, who are you?"

"I am Helian Hai, Commander-in-Chief of the Krem Planet Defense Force, and I represent the Supreme United Government in negotiating with you."

"I am Brunson from the Marketing Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation. And this is...?"

Seeing the other person extend their hand, Bronson shook it lightly and introduced his entourage.

"Market Development Department... I think you also sent a specialist from Business Consolidation Department before, but I don't know who he is..."

“We belong to different departments. We hope that the assistance we are providing this time can be based on an independent framework.”

Yingduo, who was standing nearby, joined the conversation at the right time. She noticed that the man in military uniform opposite her had a thoughtful expression on his face.

As he was speaking, he seemed to receive some message, and then looked up at the sky. A streamlined landing ship was slowly descending.

"You all arrived so early. It seems I've come at just the right time."

A laugh came from behind, and Commissioner Smith, whom we had just mentioned, stepped out of the spaceship.

Behind him followed his assistant and two tall, life-sized humanoid armored figures.

"Sir, and dear colleagues from the company, now that we're all here, let's get ready to begin."

Smith gave a formulaic smile.

Looking at the two armored vehicles behind him, Helian Hai's expression darkened slightly.

"Commissioner Smith, it's hard for us to believe in your sincerity to bring such armed forces to a meeting."

"Oh?"

Smith raised an eyebrow, his gaze behind his sunglasses fixed on the man in front of him.

"With so many troops deployed nearby, how can I guarantee my safety if I rashly enter?"

“If we cannot establish a foundation of trust between us, Commissioner Smith, please leave.”

Helian Hai spoke calmly without changing his expression, and then gestured an invitation to the Bronsons and the others beside him.

"The three of you, please!"

"Commissioner Smith, in that case, why don't you leave now? We will inform you of the contents of the agreement afterward."

Bronson turned his head and said as he passed by the other person.

"Tsk." Smith's displeasure was undisguised.

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Don't these reckless men in the market development department understand this principle?

"Then let's leave it at that!"

After signaling the armored guards behind him to leave, Smith quickened his pace and strode past the crowd into the venue.

"Doing business is about gains and losses. I'll get back the face I lost here, with interest, at the negotiating table later."

Looking at the various gazes of the crowd, Smith muttered to himself.

"Before the meeting begins, I believe we have already established initial trust. We hope that you will allow our rescue team to proceed to the crash site of the space station to carry out rescue operations, as a starting point for both sides to demonstrate their goodwill."

Seeing this, Yingduo pressed her advantage and asked.

"Well."

Faced with this question, Helian Hai's gaze changed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he nodded gently.

"Don't send too many people; we'll be watching you closely."

With the rescue permit approved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The communication was quickly relayed to the escort ship in space. Vera, who was ready, along with Cecilia, a team of staff and several marines, boarded the landing ship and flew towards the disaster area.

"Then let's begin."

Helian Hai turned around, while the tall man beside him lingered briefly on Bronson and his group before silently following them away.

"Let's go," Bronson said in a low voice.

Stepping through the grand gate, you are greeted by a long corridor.

Portraits of various people hang on both sides of the corridor, their gazes silently watching everyone who passes by.

Halfway through, Bronson lowered his voice.

Have you noticed?

"Ah."

Wu Qi agreed and narrowed his eyes.

"That person next to me just now was no ordinary person."

Be careful in everything.

The group nodded.

........

Upon entering the venue, the two sides sat on either side of a long table according to their respective camps.

Smith and Bronson, among others, were deliberately separated by several seats.

On the opposite side, besides Helian Hai, sat several young-looking men.

Judging from their attire, they were clearly from the defense force. The tall, ordinary-looking man sat quietly to the side.

The door slowly closed, completely isolating the outside world from noise.

"Gentlemen, before the meeting begins, I would like to confirm your identities once again. You are all from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, but you represent two parties?"

"Hmph, the scale of the company is beyond your imagination. Our footprint spans the globe, so naturally we need different departments to manage our respective businesses. I, Smith, am fully authorized to represent the Tver Business Consolidation Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation."

"We are here on behalf of the company's marketing department."

Yingduo responded seriously and in a professional tone.

"Very well, since you are all people who have the right to decide the fate of this planet, let's begin negotiations."

A smile appeared on Helian Hai's face, his gaze somewhat subtle.

......

Chapter 91 Rescue and Game

On the medical landing ship dispatched by the company, the rescue team members quietly watched the thick smoke that blotted out the sky and the flames burning on the ground in the distance.

After receiving clearance from the defense forces to land, the landing ship slowly approached the disaster area.

However, according to the ship's onboard instruments, they were still surrounded by surveillance, both overt and covert, closely monitoring their every move.

“These natives, we came here to rescue people, yet they are so wary of us.”

Several engineering staff members showed indignation on their faces.

"Try to understand. After all, they just went through a catastrophe, so it's normal for them to be wary of the outside world."

Vera gently shook her head, while Cecilia, standing beside her, looked up and spoke softly.

"If they see our actions, they'll probably lower their guard, right?"

"Ha, beautiful lady, what prevails in the universe these days isn't goodwill, but the power that ensures goodwill is realized. Just like Captain Lin!"

One of the male engineers shook his head and spoke frankly.

This statement may have some merit. However, such a direct criticism of the girl's thoughts immediately drew somewhat unfriendly glances from Vera and the other female crew members.

"Alright, alright, everyone, it's best to be safe."

The male engineer tactfully changed the subject.
