Chapter 270 Discussing Important Matters
The holographic projection gradually faded away, and the many guests at the banquet had different expressions. Some high-ranking officials belonging to the Guixing military showed sad expressions.
"Elton is a man worthy of admiration..." Someone raised his glass, "He was my classmate and a hero."
"He annihilated four A-level life forms. He is the hero of Returning Star. Cheers to Elton!"
Several people nearby raised their glasses and said in unison: "Cheers to Elton..."
Although their expressions were sad, if you looked closely you could see that their eyes were calm, without too many emotional fluctuations, they were just acting according to the situation.
"I'm afraid that the [Xin He Bounty] will attract the attention of many large laboratories..."
Several people who often appear on the Guixing Financial Column gathered together to discuss the [Xinhe Bounty] issued by Tigor.
The Sword Bearer Medal can only be obtained by those who have made significant contributions to Guixing, and it has many privileges and identities.
"But it is only attractive to the citizens of Guixing. As for the others..."
Greed flashed in their eyes from time to time. For people like them, the value of the [Sword Bearer Medal] was too great.
Although they look glamorous, they are actually the money bags of senior officials. If they can obtain the [Sword Bearer Medal], it is equivalent to a layer of amulet and key!
There is so much to analyze in Tigor's speech just now that I'm afraid many news commentators are working overtime to dissect it word by word.
A month later, Elton was posthumously awarded the [Defender Medal] and the title of Duke of Meteorite, and was named after the Meteorite Fleet, which was enough to prove Elton's achievement this time.
Since Elton's record has been made public, it means there should be no problem with the review.
Many thoughts flashed through Li Yu's mind, and the sounds in his ears suddenly became noisy, bringing him back to his senses.
"His Majesty Titus is here..."
The luxurious spiral staircase was covered with dark red carpet, and a figure slowly walked down it.
The noise in the banquet hall gradually rose and then slowly died down, and Titus finally showed up.
Li Yu looked up at the prince. He had not lived in the central galaxy of Guixing for long. He had only returned here recently because of the frequent affairs in Guixing.
Titus had a well-proportioned and tall figure, and his purple silk robe gave him an aristocratic air. He had a warm smile on his face, and was also holding a wine glass, the mysterious liquid emitting a faint glow.
"Welcome everyone..." Titus raised his glass and looked around, not lingering on anyone for too long, not even Klein and Alexi.
“Your Highness… ” The guests’ eyes were somewhat fiery, and they also raised the wine glasses in their hands and drank them all in one gulp.
Titus then slowly walked down the stairs, revealing a look of reminiscence, "I remember the last banquet was a year and a half ago..."
He stopped in front of a two-legged Hitler who looked terrified, and said with emotion: "Pullman...right, I remember that you were a small businessman last time, but now you have become a household beverage tycoon."
"Yes... yes, Your Highness..." Pullman was terrified and excited at the same time. He did not expect that this noble prince actually remembered his name.
"It's all thanks to you..."
Titus shook his head: "I just gave you a gentle push. It's up to you to fly."
He continued to walk towards the others, his voice gentle, which made people feel warm but also a sense of fear.
"Our eldest brother's personal charm is amazing. I'm so envious." Alexei sighed.
Klein said nothing and just watched Titus talking with everyone.
"Keya..." Titus walked up to Keya, and his smiling face suddenly became solemn, which made the lively atmosphere suddenly quiet.
"What's wrong, my honorable highness..." Keya didn't care at all. Her eyes fell on Titus' face with a dazed look.
"Look at what you look like now!" Titus scolded. Although his voice was not loud, it was like the whistling of a cold wind, making everyone feel a chill in their hearts.
"Please scold me, Your Highness!" Ke Ya's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of tears, her body began to tremble slightly, and her long white legs seemed unable to stand.
"You must remember that you are the commander of Blood Rose... not..." Titus frowned and snorted coldly, but did not continue.
Keya seemed a little disappointed. She wanted Titus to continue talking, to whip her soul with harsh words and insult her personality.
Titus shook his head, his emotional face gradually calmed down, and he seemed to have no interest in continuing the conversation.
Everyone looked at each other. Even though Titus' attitude towards Keya seemed very bad, no one would look down on Keya.
This attitude is enough to show that Keya is the one that Titus truly regards as his own.
Li Yu clicked his tongue in his heart and ignored Keya's strange quirk. It only took Titus less than ten minutes to win her over, put pressure on her, give her warmth, and establish her authority .
It's as simple as eating and drinking water.
"Klein...Alexei..." Titus called out in a strange tone and walked towards the three people.
“Your Highness Titus…” Alexei seemed very reserved in front of Titus, while Klein did not react.
“Don’t be so nervous… We are all family, just call me big brother.” Titus patted Alexei’s shoulder, but his eyes did not linger on him for too long, but fell on Klein.
It seemed as if he was waiting for Klein's greeting, but Klein remained extremely calm and looked at Titus without any fear.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and the guests nearby all showed displeasure on their faces. Disrespecting Titus would be a slap in their faces.
"Brother..." Alexei came out to smooth things over and asked:
"Klein and I were just discussing why you wanted us here."
Titus turned his attention to Alexi at the right time and said mysteriously: "This is a good thing, but Big Brother can't do it alone. I need your help."
Klein's disrespect didn't seem to have any effect on him.
"You are so polite..." Alexey seemed very surprised.
“Just say what you want to say.” Klein suddenly said in a cold voice. Part of the reason she came here was to see what Titus was up to, as he actually invited her to the banquet.
What's more, she was very unhappy that Titus actually wanted to steal his girl, so she came here to vent her anger.
Titus turned to Klein again. The smile on his face seemed to fade a little, and his tone was a little cold: "It's not a good habit to be impatient. Before that, I would like to introduce a guest to you."
Introducing a guest?
Everyone was a little surprised. Judging from Titus' tone, the identity of this guest was obviously unusual.
A man walked in from the stairs. Everyone looked over with curiosity in their eyes, wanting to see the background of the person that Titus specially introduced.
The person who came was also a humanoid species, with light blue skin and long thin hair draped over his shoulders.
He was about two meters tall, with distinctive facial features, extremely high cheekbones, flickering blue spots in his pupils, and a look of indifference in his eyes.
He was wearing a smooth blue robe of a rather special style that looked extremely complicated and luxurious. I didn't know what material it was made of, but the patterns on the robe were exquisite.
The robe was gathered at the chest, making the whole look like a tube, with the hands and feet covered.
This man had a calm expression and extraordinary bearing. He was not hurried under the gaze of everyone and nodded to everyone. It seemed that many people had already guessed his identity and looked a little surprised.
Including Klein and Alexei.
"Let me introduce you." Taitasir said with a faint smile: "Holivias's chief envoy - Ivan Terry."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's pupils suddenly shrank, and several senior executives secretly said, "As expected, considering the other party's race, many people have already guessed it."
Li Yu frowned slightly. Hollyvias was one of the four founding elders of the Civilization Alliance.
It is also the most powerful civilization in the Civilization Alliance, followed by Guixing.
And he is not an ordinary envoy, but the chief envoy. He represents Hollivias and has the right to handle all matters related to Guixing.
No matter how high Titus's status in Guixing is, it is impossible for such an envoy to attend his private banquet. In a sense, such an envoy is Holivias.
Everyone had different looks, and the people of Titus realized the deeper meaning and gradually became happy.
Alexei narrowed his eyes slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking. Klein frowned, and his dissatisfaction was clearly revealed.
Li Yu thought in his heart that this clearly meant that Tigor had established a "crown prince". Guixing did not have the system of primogeniture, and the order of succession was just a sequence, and it did not have any compulsory meaning.
It would have been impossible for Ambassador Hollyvias to attend the banquet without Tigor's instructions.
Klein and Li Yu exchanged glances. This banquet... was indeed not simple.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Ivan nodded slightly and said, "It's an honor to meet you two."
He was talking to Klein and Alexi. Apart from Titus, these two were the only people here who were barely qualified to talk to him.
“We are honored as well.”
Klein and Alexi did not behave disrespectfully in front of the envoy.
"I called you all together for this matter..." Titus didn't waste any more words and went straight to the point:
"Not long ago, I received news that the Purple Crystal Civilization was in constant strife, and the Purple Crystal Emperor's brother, Prince Sast, was launching a liberation movement."
“This is an opportunity.”
It turned out to be this matter... Li Yu was surprised, but also suddenly realized that it was no wonder that so many envoys from civilized civilizations came here.
But...what does this have to do with Klein and Alexei?
Li Yu had known about this a long time ago through Kansa, but there are still many people who don’t know about it because the entire interstellar space is too large and the information reception is limited.
Even Klein and Alexei didn't know. Thinking of this... Li Yu frowned slightly and crossed out Alexei's name.
This is a big cake. All the people present are leaders in their respective fields. They understood this point instantly and their eyes began to become hot.
This kind of splitting of civilizations will certainly be accompanied by countless bloody storms, and the major civilizations will certainly not be able to reveal their identities in public.
We can only mobilize other forces, and the person in charge sent by Guixing this time should be Titus.
"This time...Holyvias will join forces with Guixing." Ivan added, which shocked many people again.
Guixing and Holivias united? Li Yu was a little confused. Splitting the purple crystal might bring a lot of benefits, but it should not be worth the union of two top civilizations.
Isn't it enough for everyone to take their own? Why bother to unite them, when it will be hard to divide the profits later?
Unless...their purpose is not just those interests...
Li Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly remembered what the hunter said. The Star Empire would not sit idly by and watch the purple crystal being split, and would set things right in the end.
What if Hollyvias and Guixing’s goal is to completely split Amethyst?
Zijing is not only a dog raised by the Starry Empire, but also the strongest among all the dogs in the Starry Empire.
If you can successfully split the amethyst, you will gain even more benefits.
This... Could it be that Tigor is building momentum for Titus... Li Yu knew that Tigor seemed to be in a bad state and might die for some unknown reason.
If Titus succeeds, this matter can indeed become his advantage.
“Brother, this matter… doesn’t seem to have anything to do with us.” Alexei asked tentatively, which made Klein look over.
This cake obviously belongs to the Titus family, and so far there is no apparent connection with them.
Titus smiled slightly and looked at Klein: "How can it be irrelevant?"
"If I don't have the Queen's support, I'm not sure about this matter. What do you think... Klein?"
Titus' target is Vimala, and Klein is just a pawn on the surface, using her to test Vimala's attitude.
This incident seemed to be about splitting the Amethyst, but in fact it was a test for Titus before he took over Return Star, and he didn't want any problems to arise.
And Vimala is the biggest problem. During the time when Tigor was missing, Titus was severely suppressed by Vimala.
Titus meant to give some of the credit to Klein so that Vimala would not put pressure on him.
Li Yu figured this out and gradually began to wonder. It seemed that Titus didn't know Vimala's ultimate goal, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to show goodwill to the iron-blooded queen.
Klein thought for a moment and figured out the whole story. Was she just a chess piece? This made her very unhappy.
She was about to lose her temper when she caught sight of Li Yu, who didn't seem to have much presence, and paused before asking, "Do you have any opinions?"
Klein's question made everyone focus on Li Yu, and their expressions all had an unspeakable meaning.
Li Yu was a little surprised. He looked around and said, "Since it is beneficial to Guixing, I believe Queen Vimala should be very happy. Moreover, there will not be much risk in cooperating with the Holivias civilization."
Ivan was keenly aware of the flattery hidden in this sentence. His expression softened a lot and he nodded slightly to Li Yu.
I originally thought that the splitting of the amethyst would not have anything to do with him, but I didn't expect to find the participating node here.
A large laboratory will be available soon, but he is in great need of research resources and capable researchers.
By the way... he also wanted to see the "surprised" expressions of the Amethyst Emperor and Sast who almost killed him.
