Chat rooms are also thriving today.

When Linna and her group of people walked out of the portal, they saw three people standing in the office, meeting their gaze.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

"Hiss...did we come at a bad time?"

Kiana leaned close to Linna's ear and whispered.

This atmosphere makes her feel like she's about to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with her feet!

"It's hard to say, but I'm the one who's in the most awkward position."

Lin Nai said helplessly.

I should have known better than to shout that.

I didn't expect so many people.

but……

Linnai focused her gaze on the person she was least familiar with.

Toppa.

Her original name was Yelena.

Born on a resource-scarce remote planet, he signed a lifetime labor contract because his home planet was terraformed by the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

With her outstanding actuarial skills and management abilities, she was promoted to Director of the 166 Market Group in the Strategic Investment Department as the youngest employee.

During this period, they trained the dimensional piggy bank 'Zhangzhang' to assist with their work, eventually making it a formal employee of the company.

Lin Nai never expected that they would run into each other at this time.

The most fatal thing is...

From their perspective, Belloberg's acquisition by Star Peace Corporation was a fantastic opportunity.

But Lin Nai knew the company's situation all too well.

"cough."

After a brief silence, Seele quickly came to her senses.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Seele." Linna greeted her first, then asked with feigned confusion, "And who is this...?"

"Nice to meet you. Please allow me to give a brief self-introduction. My name is Topa, and I work in the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation."

After speaking politely, Toppa curiously scanned Linnaeus and his group one by one.

And who are you all?

"We are nameless passengers on the Star Train!"

Xing stepped forward and showed the train ticket on his chest, which was proof of the nameless passenger!

Toppa's eyes lit up.

"I see! I could tell at a glance you weren't locals, but I didn't expect to run into so many 'nameless guests'!"

Linnaeus did not speak.

Their identities have changed quite a bit.

It mainly depends on the members' identities in the local area, and then when everyone goes out together, they will act under the identity of the same faction.

After all, strictly speaking, they are considered to be aiding the battle.

March 7th asked, somewhat puzzled, "Hmm... but why would people from the Interstellar Peace Corporation come to the Yalilo-VI?"

To be honest, this place hasn't been connected to the universe for very long, has it?

"This one……"

Topa had not yet spoken.

Seele, on the other side, immediately chimed in, revealing the whole story.

In short, seven hundred years ago, after the star core landed in Yalilo-VI, the "builders" here borrowed a large sum of money from the investors of the "Interstellar Peace Corporation" for disaster mitigation.

Now Toppa has come to collect debts.

When Seele uttered that astronomical number, even the group of people in the chat room fell silent.

As the person involved, Seele was utterly exhausted.

Do not……

We might end up losing the entire planet.

"This...so much..."

Kiana gasped.

There are so many that you can't even count them all!

Chen and Artoria were even more speechless. They were already handling national affairs, and they understood better than anyone else what those numbers meant.

“I completely understand your predicament.”

Toppa nodded and turned to look at Seele:

"Belloberg's current financial difficulties are not because of you, nor are they the fault of anyone else in the city."

"But objectively speaking, since Belloberg has survived as an independent entity to this day, this debt cannot be considered a bad debt..."

Political system?

Ah!

"Wait! A pound of pears (I object)!"

A flash of inspiration struck Linnaeus, and he immediately interrupted Toppa.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Toppa looked on with a smile.

“Seele, didn’t you tell Miss Toppa that the current Belloborg is not the same Belloborg as before?”

"What do you mean?"

For some reason, Toppa's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

There are more experts?!

Seele and Bronya also looked puzzled.

"Have you all forgotten? We rose up through rebellion. If we're really going to be honest, Berlberg is just our spoils of war, isn't he?"

Linnaeus waved his hand and said:

“When you ask us for money now, isn’t that like using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty?”

"Go find whoever owes whom. What does the money owed by 'Rand' in Belloberg have to do with our New Belloberg's Seele?"

Eh? !

Toppa's eyes widened.

Is that true?!

Why was this completely omitted from the strategic investment department's research report?!

"Furthermore, Miss Topa, didn't you know? New Belloberg no longer has any builders, and even the nobles no longer exist."

When Linnaeus left last time, he had already arrested all the nobles.

Those found guilty were beheaded at the Meridian Gate.

They were innocent, but after ideological work, they were sent to labor reform and will be released only when their condition improves.

Belloberg had already undergone a major purge, and even the management style and upper-level positions had been completely changed.

It was a major reform.

Besides the name 'Belloberg', what else could possibly be associated with Toppa?

Unless Toppa says the company is lending money to the entire planet.

Then he was out of options.

"But the Great Guardian..."

"Ahem, actually my real job title is 'Earthfire Guardian'."

Upon seeing Linna's signal, Seele instantly activated her extraordinary wisdom, raised her head, straightened her chest, crossed her arms, and spoke.

She's been the Great Guardian for so long, she's not just doing this for nothing!

"However, it's too long, so the name called out below hasn't changed much."

Topa fell silent.

hiss……

No!

You two are openly signaling to her!

However, before Toppa could continue, Linnaeus interrupted his train of thought with a single sentence.

"Moreover, Miss Toppa, it is a serious mistake to conflate Belloberg's situation with your own childhood experiences."

"Varied?!"

Toppa's pupils contracted, and he looked up in disbelief.

"Take a closer look at this place; it's stronger than you think."

"..."

Chapter 238 - A Ruthless Cut!

Topa is gone.

After Linnaeus's last words, she realized that the situation was taking a sharp turn for the worse.

In addition, the research team from the Strategic Investment Department still had many areas to investigate, so Toppa had no choice but to leave for the time being.

She needs to prepare some more.

Come here.

We can't just watch as bad debts finally turn into recoverable debts, only to turn back into so-called bad debts in the end, can we?

Returning empty-handed is the most taboo thing in a company.

"call……"

Linnaeus pulled up a chair.

If it weren't for Toppa's comment, "Belberg has survived as an independent polity to this day," it would have reminded me.

It suddenly reminded him that he and Seele had rebelled and fought their way up to Belloberg, and that he had already implemented sweeping reforms before leaving; otherwise, there would have been no other way.

We'll definitely have to argue about it some more.

But things are different now.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Artoria walked behind Linna and gently placed her hand on Linna's head, giving her a head massage that she had learned.

Chen and Kiana both looked at this scene with some confusion.

But soon, the two belatedly realized that Artoria was Linna's assistant, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Thank you, Linna, thank you for your help this time..."

Seele was a little embarrassed.

I wanted to invite Lin Nai and the others to come and play, but we hadn't even had a chance to eat before this happened.

Ugh.

Seele immediately deflated.
