VMN: Chapter 66: Dongfang Xia's Joining (Part 1)
🕑 Added 2022-12-19 06:26:11 +0000 UTCThis was an ordinary office, facing the door was the desk. A high-backed swivel chair was placed behind the desk, and the back of the chair was facing Dongfang Xia. There was obviously someone sitting on it; the Stellar Group Supreme Commander. In front of him was a small table with a radio blaring a rousing local song:
"A black cloud hung over us, bloody air pouring out of our nostrils,
The slave master's whips our backs, and the heavy shackles bind freedom.
Dear compatriots, dear comrades-in-arms, please ask yourself whether this is the life we should have?
Quickly pick up the weapon, quickly break the shackles, the golden sun will eventually appear on the mountain in the east!
Yield and live,
Today we will straighten our spines
and stand up!
Rush and destroy the source of that misery.
Dear compatriots, dear comrades-in-arms, please ask yourself whether this is the life we should have?
Quickly pick up the weapon, quickly break the shackles, and the golden sun will eventually appear on the mountain in the east..."
"It's a good song, isn't it?" a husky male voice echoed, and the radio was turned off.
"Please sit down, Miss Dongfang, you are a distinguished guest." The commander of the Stellar Group did not turn around and calmly voiced to Dongfang Xia as before.
"You are the commander of the Stellar Group, right? I don't know your name?" Dongfang Xia asked with raised eyebrows.
"I am just a nameless person. Let's talk about your guard." The commander of the Stellar Group wanted to divert the topic.
"...Okay." Dongfang Xia resisted her curiosity and said, "Due to the current situation, if the Dongfang family sends people to pick me up, it will undoubtedly deal a big blow to the reputation of the Dongfang family, so my butler hopes that I can get more special protection."
"Dragon Kindom can evacuate these expatriates together with you, it is not difficult." The commander of the Stellar Group said.
"Yes, but..." Dongfang Xia took a deep breath. "Obviously the Ten Family doesn't think it's worth doing, they are obviously the people of the Dragon Kingdom."
"So, what do you think of the matter?"
"They shouldn't do this. Abandoning the safety of the people for a trivial benefit is a very dirty thing," Dongfang Xia said coldly.
"You are also a member of the Ten Family, Miss Dongfang," The commander of the Stellar Group said casually.
"That doesn't mean I agree with what the Ten family did."
There was a strange silence in the office, and then the commander of the Stellar Group said, "The Stellar Group can give you the protection you want, as long as you can pay the right price. We can guarantee that there is no one in Paschlick that can threaten your safety."
"Your tone is big, but the current Paschlik is in chaos."
"But,. Stellar Group is still the masters here." The commander's tone was very relaxed.
"..." Dongfang Xia's face showed a trace of solemnity. She was silent for a moment, and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
"So, can I understand that as long as the price is right, this war can also be mediated by you?"
"Of course not," said the commander of the Stellar Group. Dongfang Xia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, but the next words of the Stellar Group commander caused a storm in her heart. "Although it is easy to defeat both sides and support a new government, the price is too high."
"You… What's your purpose?" Dongfang Xia shed a drop of cold sweat. If it was true what the commander said, the power of the Stellar Group in the western region was a bit beyond anyone's imagination.
"Wait, why are you telling me this?" At that moment, Dongfang Xia also realised her blind spot.
"I heard that your situation in the Seventh Machinery Manufacturing Plant is very embarrassing." The Stellar Group commander did not answer her question. "Because no one is willing to invest in your research, right?"
"What are you trying to say?" Dongfang Xia stood up, looking warily at the back of the high chair.
"Do you want to work for the Stellar Group? We can give you what you need." At that moment, the tone of the Stellar Group commander seemed to be tempting and depraved.
"What do I need?" Hearing this, Dongfang Xia sneered.
"I need huge financial support, a complete industrial system, and Laboratory-grade advanced technology. Complete parts supplier,
a group of excellent researchers, and a safe experimental environment. In short, I need a whole country to support my research. Do you have these?"
The Stellar Group commander was silent for a moment and said, "We don't."
"Then—" Dongfang Xia snorted coldly. When she was about to speak again, she was interrupted by the Stellar Group commander.
"However, we have funds provided by the four multinational corporations of Stellar Group Security, United Group Company, Integrated Mining, and Integrated Energy, as well as the temporary self-governments under the Hope Angel Project. We have Gray Wolf Armor's fourteen state-of-the-art production lines support, Ouroboros parts supply, five scientific research teams no less than the world's top ten companies. And an experimental base protected by the armed forces of the Stellar Group Headquarters. In short, as long as you join, the complete system of the Stellar Group will become your most solid backing."
Dongfang Xia was stunned, but she quickly realised it.
"How can I trust you?"
"What about having an acquaintance as a guarantee?"
"Who? I don't remember anyone I know in the Stellar Group."
"It's me."
Suddenly, the voice of the Stellar Group commander turned into a cold female voice, familiar to Dongfang Xia. Before she could remember who the owner of the voice was, the back of the chair suddenly flipped, and the appearance of the commander appeared in front of her. Seeing this face, Dongfang Xia was stunned for three seconds, and then her complexion turned pale.
"Mo Yanqiu! Why you?"
