Chapter 821: To Pull The Carpet From Under One's Feet

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng's side was rather smooth but at the faraway Earth, things were getting serious.

In just two years, OMG had undergone drastic change from being in the Asia region of Earth to becoming an Interstellar Commerce Organisation. The speed was so fast that it made OMG seemed like a young bird that had left the nest before reaching the stage when it could withstand a storm.

And a storm had suddenly befallen.

"OMG has betrayed the interests of the Solar System Federation and illegally sought large private benefits on the Titatitan Star."

The storm had started from social media. A reporter had posted an article with his name and accused OMG of using the name of Solar System to engage in monopolistic operations on Titatitan Star. The Committee Member of the Solar System had used the resources of the Solar System in exchange for the interests of OMG private company!

"What resources did OMG have to allow it to represent Solar System to act like a tyrant on Titatitan Star? Two years ago, OMG was just an Asia regional mecha spare parts and maintenance company. Its productions of mecha were also mainly agricultural-used mecha with average quality. Yet, this unpresentable company in the Solar System was the only designated cooperation company on Titatitan Star. From the information on the Titatitan Star's official website, it was reflected that OMG had used the name of the Solar System…"

"After an in-depth investigation into OMG, surprising things had been discovered. Committee member Ye was surprisingly the shadow boss of OMG! The exchange of interests behind scene could be easily inferred…"

At the back of the article, there were many evidences listed. Although there wasn't any direct evidence and all were indirect, the contents were leading others to speculate and were very rich.

Ye Bingwen had not expected that just when everything was going on smoothly, he would suffer such an attack. Clearly, his opponents had made ample preparation. Moreover, they had waited for the scale to reach a certain level before launching the attack. Countless media were reporting about it on paper and large amount of evidence was revealed.

At the same time, the Solar System Federation Committee had made their response. Ye Bingwen was to be thrown into jail!

Although it wasn't a real jail per se, the reason given was to assist in investigation and protective imprisonment!

However, the fact was that everyone knew the so-called assisting in investigation would already mean the Federation investigation bureau had obtained evidence. Moreover, the impact of public opinions were greater. The support of Ye Bingwen had fallen to the trough.

There weren't many who would provide timely assistance but there were many who would kick one when he was down. The rise of Ye Bingwen was too fast but they didn't have the foundation. This was incomparable to those traditional political families. At this point, this shortcoming was rather obvious.

On Earth, it was the time for the Leonid meteor shower again. In the past, the headlines of the media would definitely be on how to observe the meteor showers. However, it was "Committee Member Ye Bingwen has been captured; OMG had been shut down for investigation" now.

In the bars, cafés, teahouses and leisure parks, the topic of casual discussion was mainly about this political storm that was more attention grabbing than the Leonid meteor showers.

"Ye Bingwen didn't have to resort to this right. Since he had become the committee member, he had done quite a number of great things…"

It wasn't that no one was speaking up for Ye Bingwen. However, very quickly, it would be drowned by other voices.

"Bullsh*t. He just looks kind on the outside while still being sinister within. Use your brain to think about it. What did OMG look like just two years ago and what class it is now? If I said there's no insider trading behind it, would you dare to believe it? No matter what, at least I wouldn't believe it!" Some people started to show off their intelligence. Although it was fictitious and thing things they didn't understand, they said it as though they were there to witness it themselves.

This was the common mentality of not willing to see others do well. After saying everything, they suddenly felt better.

"That's right!"

"Shhhh, Committee Member Liang Yindao is going to start his speech.

The bar immediately quieted down substantially. Everyone raised their head and looked at the TV screen. The boss of the bar also increased the volume of the TV substantially.

"Fellow compatriots, today was the night of the Leonid meteor showers. It was supposed to be a great day but my heart ache as though it had been crushed by the meteor showers. The Solar System's rise is still unfolding and it is the time for us, Solar System, to carry out our ambitious plans. However, there are people who dared to defy the wishes of the people and committed acts that go against the trend. He has corrupted the purity of the committee from the roots. I have to admit that Ye Bingwen has done a lot of great things. He has achieved accomplishment in the position as a committee member. The most classic one would be to introduce education to the poor. By introducing education and enrichment programs at poverty stricken areas, many people had benefited…"

On the TV, Liang Yindao paused with a face showing deep feelings of grief before continuing," However all these were just his moves to cover up and to numb us. The truth is that he had been trying to gain interests for his privately-owned OMG Company. He had committed three crimes. The first crime is acting kind when he is actually evil. The so-called enrichment project was in fact for him to obtain cheap labour to earn more money for OMG. This namelist is the evidence. This was a special list of the poor that had been 'helped'. A namelist of 5,186 people. How many of them are still on Earth? How many of them are still in the Solar System? These people had all been sent to Titatitan Star away from their countries and villages. Who was the beneficiary of all these? All these 5816 people? Or OMG? Or Ye Bingwen himself? The second crime is that he had betrayed the interests of the country…"

Liang Yindao was one of the committee members that had a large public supporter base in the Solar System Federation. He came from grassroots and was a professor in a university without any commerce background. During his first campaign as the representative of a region, his team only had three people. Two of them were his students. The other one was his wife. In the end, he succeeded. With his eloquence and speech, he had moved countless voters and become the most junior regional committee member representative. After which, he had moved up the ranks steadily and was known for being fair and honest among the public.

In the Solar System and on Earth, countless regular civilians had followed him and believed in him. They had seen him as the voice of the civilians and the warrior that protect the interests of the public. He was a real politician and not just a sly politician. This was a gift. Some people were more persuasive innately. Even if they didn't say a word, only a gaze was also enough to persuade others to believe in him.

His speech was filled with emotion and incitement. Almost everyone started shouting angrily. Ye Bingwen should have died a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times. However, no one talked about the good things that Ye Bingwen had done for them. Even if they remembered, they wanted to follow the pace of Liang Yindao and believe that these were cover ups for his evil and unloyal acts!

Yan Xiaosu had returned to Earth. Little Lucky Star had also undergone investigation. Although it wasn't shut down like OMG, it was still hard for them to take another step forward. Some of the projects that were agreed had also been postponed indefinitely. Disregarding the losses, the development path was distorted. This was because Little Lucky Star had become related properties and was another path Ye Bingwen had used to gain profits. Otherwise, how could a sanitary napkin company develop to such a scale in such a time and even dabble into interstellar business. There were evidences showing that they were doing some business with some interstellar financial organization on Titatitan Star. All these signs indicated that they were a hidden plot.

"I'm sorry about it. This time, I have implicated you guys." Ye Zisu rubbed her eyebrows as she speaked to Old Yan.

"Our side is not important. Try to find a way to meet your father to understand the practical situation is the most pressing thing now."

Old Yan frowned and was very worried about Ye Bingwen's situation. "Very clearly, this was a premeditated political attack. This scale and approach are definitely not by an ordinary person. We should investigate that committee member and we might be able to get some clues."

Ye Zisu nodded her head. "I'm already on it."

However the opponents had come prepared. Moreover the killing move was especially lethal. They had directly controlled Ye Bingwen, OMG simply did not have a living road.

Solar System Investigation Department.

Ye Bingwen might look extremely calm in appearance but he was feeling very proud in his heart. He had been brought to this place for three days. The moves used by his opponents were extremely sinister. As an experienced person in the commerce field and politics, he had expected his opponents' moves to be accurate and ruthless. There's no wonder that everything was so smooth for him recently. It was to make him drop his guard.

In fact, Ye Bingwen knew who his opponents were. Only they had such a large influence. OMG's rise had damaged the interests. From the very start, Ye Bingwen should have been more alert.

"Committee Member Ye, if you do not cooperate, it would only be disadvantageous to you. Tell us about how you conducted interested exchanges and we could plead for leniency in front of the prosecutors and prove that you have contributed."

Bang! A loud thump sounded.

"At this stage, you are still hoping for the best? Let me tell you this, I have seen many like you. The last one was even crying badly while kneeling down to beg for contribution!"

Ye Bingwen smiled. One was playing the nice cop while the other playing the role of the bad cop. It was an old move. Did they treat him as an idiot? Many simple minded teenagers that had not experienced interrogation might have divulged crimes that the cops didn't know about when faced with this trick while being coaxed and scammed.

The development of OMG was truly due to his hard work. However to be able to develop to today's scale, it had nothing much to do with him. Truthfully speaking, he had just benefitted from being associated with that guy. Unfortunately, no one would believe about such things. If their position was swapped, he probably wouldn't have believed too.

"Before I see my lawyer, I have nothing to say," said Ye Bingwen faintly. He had not slept for the past three days and two nights. The lights had stimulated his eyes. He was doing some mathematical questions in his mind to resist the frustrated mind of him due to the lack of sleep.

"Committee Member Ye, your lawyer has met with some situation. I'm your assigned lawyer. You probably have to still give us an explanation on this problem. Your issue is too grave. Everyone knows what resources OMG had in the Solar System. Titatitan Star had even rejected the Arbiter and Aslan. Why have they chosen your OMG instead? It's not too late for you to explain the situation now. As long as the operating rights still stay within the Solar System, this would be a basis for your contribution. Obviously, this is conditional on you explaining clearly about the interested exchanges. We are now still at the investigation bureau and not the Courts. The chances are still with us."

Sitting beside Ye Bingwen was a man in a suit who was trying to persuade him with earnest words and good intentions. He was the lawyer assigned to him by the investigation department.

Ye Bingwen snorted, "If a person like you could become a lawyer, a rabbit could have given birth to a pig."

"Committee Member Ye, aren't you clear about your situation. Acting on impulse wouldn't solve the problem. The man who can recognise the facts of a situation is a wise man."

Ye Bingwen laughed. Where would you find a lawyer who would persuade you to admit to your alleged crimes and sent you to your doom? It wasn't that the Chronos Family didn't make its move earlier. It was just going to launch an all-rounded attack when it finally made its move. If you have any other moves, you can use them now."

Ye Bingwen smiled faintly and didn't speak another word. In the worst situation, he would take on everything. He would at least be able to protect his own daughter. If he had admitted to false crimes, the whole OMG would have collapsed. These people wouldn't allow them to live.

Chapter 822: Clearer and Better

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Lie Xin leaving the team and joining Lear's Dynasty battle team was the last step to defeating Achilles. Sometimes, external competition was nowhere as intense as internal competition.

Without Lie Xin, the Fiery Moon would have lost its meaning. The most crucial thing was that Lie Xin had joined Lear's battle team. This was a complete rejection of what Achilles had done.

Milo also didn't know how to console Achilles. She knew how proud Achilles was and his dreams. Milo was willing to give up everything for him. However after entering the Elite Academy, Milo could clearly feel that she couldn't keep up with the pace. In the Solar System, Milo's strength was definitely among the top tier. However once she was here, her standard might be just enough to be a support of reserve. She wasn't capable enough to take up the position as a main member. There were too many geniuses in Elite Academy. Sometimes the harder she worked, the more helpless she felt.

"Milo, am I not a failure?" Achilles mocked himself. "Are the glory days of the Moon gone and never to return?"

He clearly had individual strength and clearly had persevered. However, he could only watch helplessly as he got further and further away from his goals. Achilles had originally thought that Lie Xin might join Wang Zheng's battle team. This was still within what he could accept. However, Lie Xin had joined Lear.

As a girl, Milo was actually able to understand. Lie Xin joining the Dynasty battle team was probably not because she could accept Lear. Sometimes, she just wanted to escape from something. Unfortunately, those closely involved in it often could not see as clear as those outsiders. No matter what the reasons were, this was still a blow to Achilles.

"Achilles, the ancestor of Heavenly King Family, Lilan Gallos, had a saying. What doesn't break you is bound to make you stronger. All along, the biggest problem with the Moon was the lack of setbacks. Or put it in other words, we couldn't withstand failures." said Milo. "There's another weakness and that is we have always felt that we are high above others and aren't willing to lower ourselves. No matter if it was Wang Zheng and Lear, they had never thought of themselves as something. Wang Zheng might have done it from the bottom of his heart while Lear probably was faking it. Nonetheless, the results were the same. In the Milky Way Alliance now, only though this way could we move ahead step by step." said Milo.

"If we stop moving, our future would be even bleaker. Since Lie Xin has made her choice, why don't we make our choice too?"

"Choice?" Achilles was stunned.

"Yeah!" Milo suddenly realized the crux all along. "When they are in a weaker position, the people from Earth would always choose to go into concealment while continuing to learning and waiting for an opportunity. This is something that we from the Moon or Mars are often unable to do. Victories and losses are common for a soldier. I feel that with things at this point, we should learn from the strengths. Let's join Wang Zheng's Saruman Snake battle team!"

Achilles looked at Milo who was excited to the maximum. Joining Wang Zheng's battle team…?

Would this mean that he had yielded?

"We must be willing to sacrifice and we can only make sacrifices!" said Milo.

… sacrifice…

With sacrifice then there would be gains. The reasoning was easy to understand. However, Achilles kept quiet for a long long time.

Finally, Achilles stood up and revealed a faint smile on his face. "Milo, thank you."

Milo blinked her eyes. "Isn't it more relaxing?"

"Sometimes taking a step would make things clearer and better. From another perspective, we might have even more freedom."

"In that case, let me handle it."

"No, since I have made the decision, let me do it by myself." said Achilles. Since he had let go, the so-called reputation and vanity weren't that important and he didn't have the need to make Milo do it.

"Oh right, I feel that since we are going to cooperate, we could actually give Wang Zheng a gift." Milo suddenly recalled something.

"You can handle the rest."

Achilles nodded his head. He could either bemoan his fall or continue charging ahead. Achilles didn't want to turn back.

After understanding the allocation of roles in Lear's current team, especially with the addition of Lie Xin, the strength of Dynasty battle team was truly very strong. In addition, it was also one of the favourites. Students had their own thoughts while the Professors also had theirs. The main thing was Black Tortoise Region was lacking such a strong battle team. Therefore, Lear's Dynasty battle team naturally had a favourable impression to the Professors of Black Tortoise Region, who had given the green light in various aspects. After all, Professors also had their pride. They wouldn't be satisfied if they kept remaining at the bottom.

The conditions regarding team battles in the Academy were finally released.

The Academy would be selecting eight teams with the highest standards among all the current battle teams to undergo a round robin match. The winning side would receive three points. At the same time, the country that each main member of the battle team represented would receive one point while the captain would receive three points. These accumulated points for their respective countries might contribute to the privileges in recruitment or preferential treatment for that country in other aspects.

What this meant was that battle team could earn honour for their own country.

It was especially so for those countries with relatively weaker strength as they now had more opportunities. Superpowers like Aslan, Arbiter or Manalasuo wouldn't need it. However, multinational teams like Dynasty battle team and Saruman Snake battle team had suddenly become popular.

These were the trial rules set for the battle team in Elite Academy and would be further improved in the future. Nonetheless the importance of battle team had been shifted to the day's schedule.

However to ensure the standards, for the battles in the Academy, the first stage would only select the most outstanding eight teams for the competition for the entire school to watch.

Currently, the number of official and non-official battle teams in the Academy was over a hundred. Practically, only eight teams would have such qualifications and those that possessed such competitiveness for a spot would at most be about 20 teams.

All the teams that wished to participate in this Battle Team Tournament could submit their application to the Academy and the Academy's Professors would give their assessment after considering various aspects.

For this semester, the main thing was for a trial run. A faint smile appeared at the side of Lear's mouth. Sometimes, fate was just so fun. Dynasty battle team was definitely one of the most famous battle team now and its strength was rather breathtaking. With the notice out at this point, Dynasty battle team would definitely qualify. Moreover in the Black Tortoise Region, Dynasty battle team was the only team that possessed strong battle prowess. Therefore the Professors would definitely support the Dynasty battle team. Just when everyone would be fighting for their lives to get in, he basically had qualified.

With the addition of Lie Xin, Dynasty battle team had more choices. Luo Fei the fatty might be rather good in controlling but sometimes his movements was too indecisive. Lear wasn't thinking about the weak teams but if he was to meet teams like Arbiter, Luo Fei might not be too suitable. If the two teams were to meet on a narrow path, the stronger team would win. When facing Arbiter, one had to be tougher than them. Lear had not reached the point where he would get dizzy with success because of one failure of the Asura battle team. There wasn't any technical content in that match. Olivios had his motives while he had his too. They were just getting what they wanted.

There would definitely be a team from Aslan and Arbiter qualifying or even teams. What Lear was more interested now was if Wang Zheng's slugfest would allow it to squeeze into the limited slots available.

Chapter 823: A Great Disaster

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

There were only eight slots. The first team to be confirmed, and also the team that was most certain to be chosen was surprisingly Dynasty battle team! The captain was from Earth. This would be completely inconceivable in the past. However, no matter how baffling it seemed, it was the truth now.

On the side of Aslan, they had undergone a consolidation to prevent internal exhaustion. With Aslan's strength, it wouldn't be impossible to forcefully enrol two teams. However, the final effect might not definitely be the best. Therefore the Aslan Alumni club had only enrolled a single team, Hocatolin's Imperial Glory battle team.

Lin Huiyin would be the leader of the battle team with its members selected from Aslan students. As long as her Highness, the princess, had spoken, the conflicts and frictions afterwards would suddenly vanish. This made it much simpler. Moreover, Hocatolin's strength and influence were still intact. Therefore, it would also be a given that Imperial Glory battle team would be selected. Other teams might be worrying about getting the confirmation but the problem for them was that there were simply too many people that it might be a problem. Hocatolin would be taking up a position and so would Heracles Poseidon from Atlantis. The other three main members' positions would be decided between the numerous masters from Aslan.

With her Highness, the Princess, leading the team herself, everyone in Aslan was united and strong as one. The competition within Aslan's internal selection was intense. One not only had to compete for a position as the main force, one even had to compete to become a reserve. Therefore the little Princess had been very busy recently. Wang Zheng was finally able to heave a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of this smart and playful brat torturing him now.

The style of Arbiter was clearly different from Aslan. Arbiter was too strong. A single slot wouldn't be enough to satisfy them. Although they were brothers, Marzu and Olivios basically didn't have any interactions between them. To sum it up, one wouldn't be able to make sense of their relationship.

Olivios' Asura battle team and Marzu's Massacre battle team had registered at the same time. However if one was to consider the strength of each battle team, these two teams were still very strong. As to if they could be selected at the same time, the Academy side would still have some conflicts considering they were both from Arbiter. After all, Aslan had only selected one team. However, if Marzu and Olivios were to form a single team… it would probably not require any strategy. With the strength of these two people, they could directly roll over the rest.

Being too strong was also a cause for concern.

Naturally, Wang Zheng's side was also preparing enthusiastically. The addition of Achilles had undoubtedly greatly strengthened and stabilised the Saruman Snake battle team. As for the competition for a position, it had also become more intense. After all, Achilles also represented the top-level strength in the Elite Academy.

With the additional of him, it also allowed the strategies of the Saruman Snake battle team to be more varied. The team of Wang Zheng and Achilles were looked forward by many others.

Besides that, Lya Sphinx, Hail Cloud Alliance and other powerful countries were also preparing for it. The intention from the school was clear. The first wave of battles was clearly for showing the highest standard.

Lear was feeling very relaxed now. Others were mostly lacking a tank warrior. In his team, he had a surplus. Lear and his professors had come to an agreement and that was to restrict the allocation of tank pilots from Black Tortoise Region out as much as possible. It would at least be such a case in the first stage so as to allow Dynasty battle team to be at an advantageous position as much as possible.

Obviously this couldn't be done openly. Additionally Lear also knew about the situation on Earth. However, this incident had nothing to do with him and he didn't have the energy to bother with it. This was an inevitable result in the competition for resources between a new rising power and an old power. There's nothing to be said about it and he didn't want to care about it. When he was in a different position, what he looked at would also be different. He also knew that the real reserves of the Chronos Family weren't just that small amount on Earth. There was no real need for him to look after it and there would be people below him following up naturally. What he needed to do now was to establish influence at this higher level to lay and build a good foundation for future developments.

The Elite Academy X might look like just a school but it played an utmost important role in future developments. He knew clearly about this and so do some other people. Some might have already started using it. Sometimes Lear really wanted to rip open Wang Zheng's head and see what he had inside. He was only able to have such ways of thinking and vision with his family background. This was what the Chronos Family had accumulated. One wouldn't become a noble without three generations of time. However, Wang Zheng's background was nothing like him and yet how could his thinking be so clear?

The Old Merchant had said previously that in this generation, a good scientist was also a good politician at the same time.

He was the first real teacher of Wang Zheng and had influenced the formation of qualities of Wang Zheng subconsciously. This formed the foundation for Wang Zheng's future. A good Mentor would triumph over all others.

The situation on Earth was pressing. Ye Zisu felt a little desolate. Over the past two days, she had gone around various activities but was unable to reap any returns. It had become extremely difficult to even meet those people who usually addressed her father as brothers at this moment. Even when she finally got to meet them, they all showed a helpless and painful expression. However in the next instance, they were smiling and joking with other people in the banquet. There were also some who were pondering about how to kick them when they were down and gained benefits from OMG.

Relationships between people were apathetic and the world was cold. Ye ZIsu had truly experienced it.

The Yan father and son were also going around to various activities. However, the results weren't great. If it was during usual times or if the problem wasn't big, it might still be ok. However, those insiders all knew that Ye Bingwen and OMG had offended the Chronos Family. In the past, the other party just wasn't making its move. However, the scale of action this time was clearly to deal them a death blow. Whoever got involved would probably become a target of attacks from the Chronos Family.

They had just visited a high ranking Federal officer. This was possible because of family connections. Although they were separated by many different families, it would still be easier if they were connected. However after they mentioned Ye Bingwen, this relative had found an excuse and left.

The two said goodbye and left. When they left, they saw a Skylink message from an encrypted number. "Old Yan, it's me. It isn't appropriate for me to say something just now. Stop wasting your time and energy on this matter. Let me reveal this information for you to know. OMG is completely finished. If they give up their operating rights, the person might still be able to live. Otherwise… Sigh! It would be best for Little Lucky Star to severe the relationship now. Otherwise you all would also be implicated. That's all I have to say. Take care!"

After reading the message, they raised their head and saw Liang Yindao's speech from the TV programme showing from the window opposite the road. He was bashing OMG and Ye Bingwen constantly and putting on a seemingly just front.

Liang Yindao had become the vanguard in attacking Ye Bingwen. One had to admit that the effects were very clear. With his grassroots image as foundation, OMG and Ye Bingwen's reputation were completely tarnished after multiple speeches on TV by Liang Yindao. There were even citizens gathering in front of the headquarters building of OMG, which had been shut down, holding banners and protesting.

Yan Xiaosu had a stern look. When public opinions were directed and made used by those with ill intentions, it would be as disastrous as a torrential flood.

The Skylink rang again. I was Jasper.

Yan Xiaosu sneered. OMG's Ye Zisu had a share in the Little Lucky Star TitaTitan Investment Company. "Hey Jasper, what's the matter?"

Before Jasper had called, there had already been several investment companies who had joined at a later stage calling him to ask about the risks.

"Cough. Brother Yan, there's nothing much. I just wanted to ask if there's anything I could help with?"

In the video conference, Jasper was smiling seriously. He wasn't just seeing the risks like others but he was also looking at the opportunities behind all the turmoil.

Yan Xiaosu was taken aback. He nodded his head forcefully once. "Brat, there's nothing much to do currently. Oh ya, OMG's had a project to help the poor by bringing the people of Earth to TitaTitan Star. Please collect information on their living conditions now."

"Sure. Brother Yan, I had consolidated my position in the family substantially. If there's a need, we could show solidarity at the Milky Way Galaxy level."

"Let's not take action now. The opponents this time have great powers. If you made a statement, the other party might have a greater reaction. It would be bad if he maligned you with forging evidence."

Yan Xiaosu was still very cautious. Uncle Ye was already a committee member and yet he was captured without concern. Even they had been implicated. After going around, those in their network for years weren't even willing to reveal any news. Some even made the decisive decision to not meet them at all. From the looks of this, the other party that had targeted uncle Ye probably had great powers. It was truly terrifying.

After hanging up Jasper's Skylink, Yan Xiaosu pondered for a while and decided to still dial Wang Zheng's Skylink number.

Wang Zheng knew that if they were no exceptional things, Yan Xiaosu wouldn't be looking for him at this point in time.

"Boss, something serious happened here. Uncle Ye has been imprisoned…"

Yan Xiaosu explained the situation in detail once. "Boss, the current situation is a little steep. Is it possible to request Governor Mu Sen to do something on their end?"

Wang Zheng nodded and didn't say much. The battles in the political scene were very complicated. After discussing with Yan Xiaosu again, he immediately contacted Mu Sen. In some aspects, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu might feel more about it. However, he wouldn't just let this matter be settled in such a way.

"I had tried to find out more about this incident in the first instance. There is great difficulty. The other party has spent a lot of political power and connections in this aspect. I'm only afraid the other party would accuse falsely the actions taken by our side into evidence against committee member Ye. Therefore, I have been waiting and observing quietly to see how things would go. Rest assured, I will have a plan." Mu Sen had also paid a lot of attention on this incident and had already taken action to handle it.

Mu Sen knew everything about humans. He wasn't surprised at all that such a thing would happen. At the same time, he clearly knew about the breadth of things he should do. If he had taken the side of Ye Bingwen in a rush, a well-intentioned thing could become a bad thing.

Wang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief after Mu Sen had explained the situation once. Through the analysis of costs and benefits in this incident, at least Ye Bingwen's life wouldn't be in danger.

"However the other party was very strong. It would be hard to say if Committee Member Ye's company and position could be protected in full."

"It would be fine as long as the person is alright. There's a saying among the humans that goes along where there is life, there is hope. Elder Mu Sen, I'll be troubling you then."

After hanging up the Skylink, Wang Zheng dialled through Ye Zisu's Skylink. He could tell that Ye Zisu's eyes were a little red. However, her expression was still rather calm.

"Do Yan Xiaosu and you see me as an outsider? If you encounter such incidents next time, you have to inform me in the first instance." Wang Zheng opened his mouth and broke the silence.

Ye Zisu smiled forcefully. "Wouldn't this mean that I can't handle it myself? Why are you still blaming me?"

"Why would I blame you? I believe in Uncle Ye. Looking from another perspective, this might be a good thing" said Wang Zheng. One had to admit that Mu Sen's analysis was very reasonable. If one didn't go through hardship, how would one see the rainbow after the rain? It was the case for TitaTitan Star and would also be the same at a smaller scale at the individual level.

OMG's growth and strengthening would naturally have to go through this process.

Wang Zheng did not talk about the solution in details with Ye Zisu. Some things would be fine just by executing it. He had talked about the interesting things that happened in Elite Academy instead to take Ye Zisu's mind off. Wang Zheng's conviction had truly made Ye Zisu feel much better. The more she cared about the incident, the more she would be in a panic. Moreover, the incident involved her only father. Things had not reached the point of no return. At such times, it would be more important to remain calm.

Chapter 824: Start of the counterattack

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The real reason why they were in such a situation was because their power and information weren't on the same level as their opponent. They were completely caught unprepared.

All Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu needed was a gaze to understand how each other was feeling. It wasn't appropriate for Wang Zheng's side to take action now. He had to wait for Mu Sen. After Mu Sen had taken action, he would follow up.

The fight between the new military forces represented by Ye Bingwen and the traditional powerhouse represented by the Chronos family now seemed inevitable.

Wang Zheng waited for Ye Zisu's emotions to calm down before roughly talking about the solution.

Wang Zheng looked at the Skylink that he had just hung up. Very clearly, that Liang Yindao standing at the stage was a daring vanguard. He didn't have such great powers to push Uncle Ye who was already a committee member to such a state. In addition, although the public opinions was incited, he wouldn't be able to make the investigation on a committee member to enter a dead end so rapidly.

Although they were discussing Ye Bingwen's corruption, the actual fact was that they were trying to prove that Ye Bingwen had betrayed the benefits of the Solar System and had given them to TitaTitan Star. This wouldn't just be an economic crime but a more serious case of treason!

Just when the battle team was in the most crucial stage, Wang Zheng had to leave things behind and settle this incident first. Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu were his biggest support and a brother and sister of his. Since the other party wanted to play around, he would have to counter with all his strength. Just as what Mu Sen had said, this was also a great opportunity for OMG's growth!

"Senior Xiaolu, there's something I have to trouble you again…" Wang Zheng explained the situation to Ai Xiaolu once.

When it came to information and politics, looking for Ai Xiaolu would definitely not be wrong. Since understanding about the various accolades and achievements of Ai Xiaolu's earlier life in Hail Cloud Alliance, Wang Zheng was also in awe. One could say that Ai Xiaolu was a prodigy in the political and economic scene. She would definitely handle such an incident better-rounded than him.

Ai Xiaolu had took extra efforts in dolling up. It was a rare occasion that Wang Zheng had taken the initiative to ask her out for coffee. She had originally thought that it was about the battle team. Ai Xiaolu was now the leader of the Saruman Snake battle team. For this position, she had quit her position as the leader of the Hail Cloud Alliance battle team. Together with the poaching of Snow Li. Their actions led the Hail Cloud Alumni to be immensely jealous. However, Ai Xiaolu didn't care at all.

The incident that happened on Earth was simple but very effective. The enemy was a veteran but it wasn't that there were no way for a counterattack.

Ai Xiaolu pondered for a while and said, "Do you think that I would be of help in this matter?"

Ai Xiaolu looked at Wang Zheng curiously. Truthfully speaking, things on Earth were too distant from Hail Cloud Alliance.

Wang Zheng nodded and looked at Ai Xiaolu with conviction. "All I can do is to get Uncle Ye out. However, I won't be launching the counterattacks. It wouldn't suit my style. However, I know you would definitely have a way!"

Looking at the scorching hot gaze of Wang Zheng, Ai Xiaolu had unknowingly avoided his gaze. As a genius, she had never been doubted. However, she didn't know why her heart was burning when she was praised by Wang Zheng. When she recalled her fiery kiss after surviving an ordeal in Aisbotan, her lips started to feel a little tingly

"Governor Mu Sen is right. If he is to take action, this incident should conclude easily. However, Ye Bingwen's committee member position would be gone. When his fame and reputation is over the other party could slowly wear down OMG. I have a second move on my side that could protect Ye Bingwen's position as a Committee Member. At the same time, I have a third move that can defeat the enemy."

"I'm all ears!" Wang Zheng said seriously.

Ai Xiaolu had originally intended to tease Wang Zheng a little. However, after discovering Wang Zheng's seriousness, she knew that it wasn't time to be joking around.

"Before Governor Mu Sen makes his move, I would mobilise the power of Hail Cloud Alliance and make some Committee Members do some work. I'm confident of retaining Committee member Ye's position. However, this would barely be enough as defence. If we want to counterattack and deal the opponent a heavy blow, we have to strike them starting from Liang Yindao. He is the knife in the hands of the enemy. At the same time, he would become our knife. I would mobilise some powers to investigate him. However the other party is rather sly. I'm not confident if I can find anything."

Ai Xiaolu said.

Wang Zheng's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Xiaolu. You have helped a lot!"

Ai Xiaolu smiled radiantly. "What are you saying? If we are to really compare, you had saved my life in Aisbotan. Is there anything more important than one's life? This small matter is nothing."

Wang Zheng smiled. "You had already repaid me with a kiss."

After saying, Wang Zheng suddenly realised that what he said was a little flirtatious. Suddenly, the two of them were feeling a little warm.

For the following things, Wang Zheng wasn't able to provide any help and could only pay particular notice to the situation on Earth. The current level and influence of the Saruman Snake battle team wasn't enough to qualify for the 8 available slots. He had to make Saruman Snake battle team possess this qualification before the professors made their decision.

For this wave, it was relatively important. All the teams that couldn't qualify would fall behind substantially. For a multinational team like Saruman Snake battle team, this would probably cause them to fall into obscurity.

Vincent and Takumi would definitely receive a summon from their own nation's team. At that time, even Wang Zheng would be embarrassed to keep them behind.

Moreover, truthfully speaking, Lear had already qualified. It wouldn't make sense that he couldn't.

To enter the vision of the mentors, one aspect would be that individual members must have enough strength. Another aspect would be their track records.

Wang Zheng's and Achilles' abilities couldn't be belittled. The strong rise of the few students from Solar System had caught the attention of the Academy. No matter if it was a gifted generation or just a short-lived phenomenon, their strong uprising couldn't be belittled. As for the Academy's side, they had the intention to balance various nations. The main rationale was to allow the weaker countries to achieve faster development. This would also be beneficial to the stability of the Milky Way Alliance.

TitaTitan Star, a regular Government press announcement.

This was a platform for the TItaTitan Coalition Government to announce information on TitaTitan Star to the world. Reporters from all over the Milky Way Alliance would all record and raise questions.

The attendance of Governor Mu Sen still caused a rather large commotion. This type of regular reception was typically hosted and the questions answered by the news official of the Coalition Government and wouldn't require the Governor to be present. The truth was the reporters also actually knew didn't know why there was a reception and hence all of them were full of curiosity.

"Seeing that various media reporters and friends are so busy, it seems that no one us fond of seeing an old man like me. That's reasonable. Our news official is a really beautiful lady and is more popular than me. My friends who are responsible for photos, please try to take more photos that make me seem taller and more handsome."

Mu Sen was already comfortable with such occasions. With a few playful words, he quickly controlled the atmosphere and took the initiative of the crowd. All the reporters responded with well-intentioned laughter.

It was still about announcing messages from the Government in the opening. When it reached the segment for reporters to raise questions, there were reporters asking about hotly discussed incident of Committee Member Ye Bingwen of the Solar System immediately.

Mu Sen's expression changed but remained composed. "I believe everyone would have heard about a political storm in the Solar System. Since the accused Committee Member Ye Bingwen and OMG Company could affect the reputation of TitaTitan Star, as the first Governor of the TitaTitan Star, I believe there is a need to make a clarification. With regards to OMG's exclusive operating rights for the Super Gravity Energy Mineral Ore, there isn't any behind the scene exchanges of benefits like what the Solar System Federation has assumed. I request that the Solar System Federation be cautious with their words and take back any inappropriate remarks. Otherwise, we would lodge an official case with the Milky Way Alliance Courts."

Chapter 825: Merciless Even When They're Down

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"The fifth person in the first row."

"Good afternoon Governor. I'm a reporter from Norton Star Commercial Papers, Elosto. May I ask, with regards to the incident of Committee Member Ye of the Solar System, would it affect Solar System's share of allocated Super Gravity Energy Mineral ore? Would OMG Company's exclusive operating rights be revoked?"

The questions were direct and were also what other reporters wanted to know the most. It was especially so for OMG Company's exclusive operating rights. Countless large financial organisations had their eyes on it. However, everyone knew that despite the fact that OMG was small, it had a very good relationship with Tita Star and no one had any solution. The Solar System was courting their own death this time. Would there be changes to the exclusive operating rights? Recently, people who were eager to move had started taking actions. The Solar System was indeed a federation fond of internal conflicts. This "great" quality had been maintained till now.

"At this place, I would like to make it clear again. With regard to the Super Gravity Energy Mineral Ore, it would be divided into two parts. The first part would be the allocated amount for free trade and be based on the Super Gravity Energy Mineral Ore Trading Agreement. This won't be changed. For the second part, it would be OMG Company's exclusive operating rights. This is the only channel for Titatitan Star to transfer Super Gravity Energy Mineral Ore to the public. In my own opinion, I really hope to revoke it."

Instantly, the whole hall burst into a commotion.

Mu Sen smiled and signalled for everyone to be quiet. "When this additional exclusive operating right was given previously, it was a repayment from Tita Star to Committee Member Ye for lending a helping hand when Tita Star was in distress. The people of Tita Star are simple. We would repay favour received many folds over and won't forget about them. As to the underhanded exchange of benefits that the Solar System Federation has claimed, frankly speaking, we do not know what a Committee Member of Solar System can give to us. If the Solar System is to continue maligning our Tita Star, we would revoke such exclusive operating rights and hold an open bid. This isn't because the people of Tita Star had forgotten about the favour we received. I hope that everyone can understand."

With these words said, it was enough. The people of Tita Star had made such an exception for OMG mainly because of telling the humans that the people of Tita pay a lot of attention to those that show them favour or animosity. Before they discussed about business, they would look at relationships first. Even a silly person would know that a single committee member, moreover someone from the Solar System, had a long way to go to be on equal status with Tita Star. What could he give to the people of Tita?

On the contrary, if the same conditions were given to Aslan, Arbiter or any other countries, the rewards one could get back would be in multiples of 10.

Were the committee members in Solar System all so dumb to commit such acts that severed their way of escape? It was clear that today's press conference was also the last warning made by the people of Tita. It was fine if you all fight amongst yourself but do not involve Tita Star into it.

One should know that if OMG had this exclusive operating right, it would be equivalent to the Solar System having it. If it was cancelled, Solar System could cry all they want.

The news had spread to the Solar System very quickly. Mu Sen's speech and the details revealed were like a ruthless slap to those emotional and angry citizens that were on steroids. It was also like a pail of cold water that doused them awake.

The people of Tita were only repaying the favour. They weren't repaying the favour to the Solar System but Ye Bingwen and the truth was that the Solar System had already obtained benefits due to its position.

Moreover, as compared to Aslan, Arbiter and the other strong countries, what would Tita Star possibly see in a Committee Member of the Solar System?

It was simply a joke. Others just attached importance to relationship. The people in that place were just scheming and shouldn't be that dumb.

In the Solar System, the views were split to two extremes.

However, Liang Yindao clearly wouldn't let this incident change this direction.

On the same night, Liang Yindao had raised his doubts in a few political talk shows and he was rather sharp.

"Even if all these were the truth, there are other questions. I would like to raise a doubt. Is Ye Bingwen still qualified to be a Committee Member of the Solar System? With such great interests on Tita Star, could he still be impartial when speaking for the Solar System and not be inclined to the powers of other countries? Currently most of Mr Ye Bingwen's assets are residing on Tita Star. Other than the fact that his nationality is still under the Solar System, isn't he the same as the people of Tita?"

Liang Yindao maintained an expression that was full of justice and was able to influence a portion of the people. One had to admit that although he was bending the facts, he had found a point to attack. That was even if Ye Bingwen was not guilty, he wouldn't be suitable to be a committee member.

The Chronos Family and related interests clearly wouldn't give Ye Bingwen a chance for revival. With the control of this huge hand, a few people from Earth under Ye Bingwen's project to help the poor, who had gone to Tita Star, had appeared on some of these shows.

"They didn't see us as humans and treated us as tools. We were working endlessly regardless of day or night…"

"I told them I wanted to return to Earth and they threatened me. They said they wanted to… I don't dare to elaborate…"

In the talk show, these few people had described their trips to Titatitan Star as a trip to hell. It was a plot! Their lives were squeezed by the OMG Company.

"I do not dare to say that everyone who had accepted Ye Bingwen's plan had the same results. There are also many people who had become successful with their own hard work. However, since there are unfavourable situations, would it mean that there were more insider information that others did not know about. Obviously this is only my conjecture. However, aren't these 10 pitiful people, who have barely managed to escape back to Earth, back to their homes, evidence enough?"

Liang Yindao said loudly. It felt very much like he would not stop until Ye Bingwen was dead.

The public consensus eventually still shifted towards the side who could speak better.

"The results of public opinions are out… The situation isn't optimistic. Obviously, it wouldn't be easily to convict him even if they wished to. The best result… Ye Bingwen has to take the blame and resign from the position of Committee Member. Our OMG's image will be badly damaged and the future is bleak."

The analyst of OMG had quickly done a research report.

Ye Zisu nodded her head. As compared to the accusation of treason previously, these were just small matters. However under multiple attacks, they have finally relented. No matter what, it was more important for her father to return safely. In the worst case, OMG could shift its core to Titatitan Star!

It was just that this result would be too cowardly as they had been chased out of the home. The feeling of being chased off from their mother planet would be like having ten thousands needles poking on one's chest.

Yan Xiaosu spat and said, "D*mn, if that's the case, we might as well go our own ways. If they want the Super Energy Gravity Mineral in the future? You better be ready to address us as ancestors a hundred times before we start discussing."

Although it wasn't easy to reach this step, the fire was too big. This darned Liang Yindao was simply fabricating things. However the good news was that Ye Bingwen would be released. Everything could be planned after he was released.

Investigation department…

The investigation on Ye Bingwen had ended. Due to the words of Mu Sen, and the attention and pressure from all around Milky Way Alliance caused by it, a fair judgement was given in the end. Ye Bingwen did not commit any treasonous acts and could be released.

Before he slept, he even watched the TV. It happened to that show that the scumbag Liang Yindao attended. Those lazy people that were fired by the company were also around. They were full of defamatory words but Ye Bingwen just laughed it off. He didn't care about it anymore. All these were pointless accusations and were made mostly to scrap some compensation from OMG.

It was just that he felt a lot of injustice in his heart.

At the minimum, one would like to return to where they were born when they die. The Solar System, Earth, was his home. He had also been working hard and fighting for it.

He was born in this place and had grown up in this place. Falling in love, marrying his wife, forming a family, having a daughter and establishing his career had all happened in this place.

A blow?

The truth was Ye Bingwen had made mental preparations for this. When he decided to take this path, he had expected this day to come. If he couldn't withstand it, he wouldn't have chosen to take this path. The truth was he also did not look back. This was because if he couldn't hold on, OMG's development would then stopped and all the efforts of Zisu would have been in vain.

"Everything's alright now. Let's go home! Your father will make you dinner! You must be tired for this period."

Ye Zisu was crying profusely. She couldn't hold back anymore. Holding her father in embrace, all she could feel was sadness. "Dad…"

"Silly brat, we should be happy. This is nothing. The battle has just begun!"

When he saw Zisu, Ye Bingwen's ambitions were ignited. He could endure bullying but her daughter could not. Since the other party wanted to play, he would risk his life against them!

Ye Bingwen didn't have the chance to make a counter move and things had changed.

The Hail Cloud Alliance had issued a government letter in response to Ye Bingwen's invitation for economic and political collaboration sent three months ago. After discussion in the Hail Cloud Alliance parliament, they had decided to send three committee members, Toronto, Yacob, Samaria, to head to Earth for the relevant observation.

Suddenly, the Solar System Federation Committee, which had taken a united view, had exploded!

In the Milky Way Galaxy, the first step for Solar System Federation to becoming a huge nation would be to enter into a strategic political collaboration with another strong country. Up till this stage, they had talked to many countries. However, others wouldn't even pay much attention to Solar System. They weren't silly. The Solar System wasn't able to provide them with many benefits and yet they wanted to use them as a stepping stone to becoming stronger.

Yet at this moment, Hail Cloud Alliance had suddenly issued an intention for observation!

Even if it was just an intention, it had also touched on the area where the different management levels of the Solar System most desired. As long as the discussion had started, it would be a good thing. Even if they were to fail in the end, it would be alright. This in itself had sufficient influence in the Milky Way Alliance. The voice of Solar System in the Milky Way Alliance would also become louder.

However, the proposal invitation that Hail Cloud Alliance had mentioned about was Ye Bingwen's! What should they do? Ye Bingwen was just toppled!

The Chronos Family obviously objected. However the thing about politics was that there was never an overwhelming inclination. Although the Chronos Family was strong, it wasn't the master of the Solar System.

The Moon, Jupiter and Saturn had voiced out their views. Ye Bingwen's incident previously had not much impact on their benefits. Moreover, they were also jealous of the sudden and rapid rise of OMG and therefore had kept silent and allowed the Chronos Family to do what they wanted. This was an exchange under unspoken rules. If they had any actions next time, the Chronos Family's political powers would naturally know to maintain silence.

However with the incidence with Hail Cloud Alliance, things were different. This involved huge interests for the entire Solar System. In comparison, the Ye Bingwen matter was nothing.

Among them, the response from the Moon was the greatest. The Heavenly King Family suddenly exerted their dominance. Although Wang Zheng did not say anything, Achilles still made his move. This was Achilles' gift. All along, Achilles believed that the competition of the new generation should depend on one's own strength. He didn't wish to involve others. However, some people did not follow the rules. There's no harm for him to educate the other party. The truth was Achilles also wanted to vent some frustration.

The opportunity now was just right!

Chapter 826: Killer Move

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The balance of power in the Parliament was finally broken. Those who supported Ye Bingwen had the upper hand. The direction of the media had also started to change. It wasn't a big thing initially after all. After the direction had change, Ye Bingwen's and OMG's crisis were finally resolved. Liang Yindao had also lowered his stance and kept a low profile. He also made a public statement that the reason why he had criticised Ye Bingwen wasn't because of personal grievances but because of his responsibility as a committee member. Obviously when the misunderstanding was resolved, he would also be impartial. He would also continue to supervise Committee Member Ye. If he was to commit any acts that would harm the Solar System, he would still fight him to the end.

No matter what, he would always be the good guy.

No matter what he said, the crisis was finally resolved. Wang Zheng would definitely have to thank Ai Xiaolu separately. Ai Xiaolu found it to be a pity. With her personality, this type of matter should be done perfectly. However the information gathering on Liang Yindao didn't reap any effective evidence. On one hand, it was because the other party had already protected him well. On the other hand, it was because Hail Cloud Alliance's influence couldn't affect the Solar System. Even if she had the rights to speak, she had already done what she could for this incident.

Wang Zheng was very grateful. As long as they could get past this difficult stage, the Ye Family would have gotten more stable and solid. With such a huge incident, the initial intention was to execute Ye Bingwen. However, it was suddenly peaceful and this was in fact something that was hard to come by.

However, this wasn't how Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu and the rest thought. They had finally endured through it all. Although it was disgusting that Liang Yindao was still around, there were indeed no methods for a counterattack now. This was also where the other party was a "veteran". If Wang Zheng and the rest were to speak without thinking, it might affect Ye Bingwen's reputation instead.

Otherwise, Yan Xiaosu really wanted to get some people to beat up this a**hole. It would be best to bash him till he couldn't take care of himself.

Ye Bingwen was rather composed. After all, he was a politician. The truth was he had thought that it was already rather magical that they could have reached this stage.

This was a small scale celebration for Ye Bingwen, all of whom were insiders. However, Ye Zisu's expression had changed.

"Zisu, what's the matter?" asked Ye Bingwen. Everyone else also looked at Ye Zisu. Her expression was very weird.

Ye Zisu was looking at an anonymous mail. It was strange as not many people knew about this address. When she opened it, she was dumbfounded.

What were inside were surprisingly a list of Committee Member Liang Yindao's overseas assets, the one who called himself the spokesperson of the civilians would normally just need a simple house and be fed.

However in that list, amongst them included fixed assets and investments in Aslan, Roland Garros and various other places. The total value was over a billion…

There's no wonder they couldn't find anything from the investigation. If he was to be corrupted, the location for the transfer of assets would definitely be Aslan or Roland Garros as the confidentiality level was the highest. He would also have the freedom and political amnesty.

There were countless pictures of luxurious mansions that covered over thousands of square metres. There were swimming pools, large courtyards,… he must be really poor…

One should know that this Committee Member didn't have any other assets and had depended on his salary and Committee Member benefits.

When everyone saw these, they knew that they complete counterattack opportunity had arrived!

However, question had arisen too. Who could have gotten their hands on these?

Jasper was finally able to prove himself useful. He asked his family to check on the situation of these assets and soon verify the authenticity of this information.

Political struggles had always been cruel. Although Ye Bingwen survived the ordeal this time, this wouldn't guarantee that the opponent would be lenient to them next time. On the contrary, the next time would definitely be more lethal or they might even employ more extreme methods. Therefore, Ye Bingwen must definitely make the other party feel pain this time and this information was undoubtedly the most lethal weapon.

Committee Member Liang Yindao had not been affected much in the reversal of the Ye Bingwen incident. On the contrary, his reputation had improved a few times more from before. With a rather high support rate, Committee Member Liang Yindao had a rather high representative power in the Parliament now. He had definitely benefited a lot from it by giving speeches all around. That mouth could really fabricate lies.

At this moment, Committee Member Liang Yindao was giving a lesson in a university. He was fluent and the students listening below were rather enthusiastic. Suddenly, everyone opened their Skylink one after another. Following which, the students exploded. Liang Yindao frowned. Initially, he was still able to keep his cool. However he soon realised something was not right.

His secretary immediately rushed up the stage. "Boss, something bad has happened!"

Liang Yindao left the stage immediately and opened his Skylink. What he found out was that all his secret assets had been exposed. Instantly, his face turned pale.

These were the most direct of evidence. He had always claimed that he was a grassroots committee member. How did he accumulate such a large amount of assets?

This was the hardest slap to his face. In just a few hours, the situation had taken a 180 degree turn.

Those citizens who had previously supported Liang Yindao were the angriest now. Frankly speaking, everyone's intention was good but their well intentions were being used by people like Liang Yindao.

The one who was maligned by a bad person would definitely not be a bad person.

This was several times more effective than if Ye Bingwen was to use its own powers to prove his innocence. If the citizens had made up their mind before they could do anything, Ye Bingwen wouldn't be able to turn the tables around. This was also where the plan was so effective previously. It didn't matter if you had done anything. Let me just defame you first.

And at this moment, some reporters had reported about the situation on Titatitan Star. They had made a far trip to Titatitan Star to collect evidence. The truth was, from the first hand evidence they got on Titatitan Star, the immigrants from Solar System to Titatitan Star had enjoyed relatively high treatment. Moreover, they had obtained rather good rewards. In videos after videos, the people were seen cheering enthusiastically and thanking OMG for the assistance that was provided. They also mentioned that the people from Earth had been very welcome by the people of Tita, more so than any other places. This was because the people of Tita had not seen them as humans but the people of Tita themselves.

In the videos, there were even Tita giants who were laughing together. There were no signs of faking it. This was what Ye Bingwen had done.

No one could have survived by depending on the heavens. OMG as a company must make a profit naturally. However, OMG wasn't about making money only. When they had obtained greater power, they would try to give back to the society as muchas possible.

At this moment, everyone was recalling the various hard work Ye Bingwen had done. Those weren't a show but real and practical work that was mostly not disclosed to the public. As for a person like Liang Yindao, he would publicise widely about the smallest things that he had done.

In a short while, the Solar System's and especially the Earth's support had moved in the favour of Ye Bingwen. Instantly, OMG had the attention of everyone. This was also the newest upstart of the Solar System Federation. Coupled with the arrival of the Hail Cloud Alliance's representatives group, one could say that a new Family was born.

OMG had moved from being a businessman to have taken a steady step to becoming a new Family power in the Milky Way Alliance.

After experiencing this ordeal, the Ye Family and the interest groups that they represented had truly become mature. At the same time, they were also able to identify who were their friends and who were their enemies through this process.

The final ending of Liang Yindao would definitely not be good. Moreover, the Chronos Family was also dealt a heavy blow. The Heavenly King Family of the Moon had also leveraged on this incident and undergone another round of quarrels with them. The Chronos Family had to keep a low profile and give in regarding various aspects. With the other party growing stronger, it would also be equivalent to them becoming weaker. They had to admit to things they had to admit to. This was something that the Chronos Family knew clearly. At least for a period of time, the Chronos Family would not dare to play anymore tricks.

Jasper was far away on Titatitan Star but he had been paying attention to the incident all along in this place. Truthfully speaking, he had never thought it was a big deal. His belief in the strength of Yan Xiaosu was close to the point of blindly believing. This fatty was most fond of acting innocent when he was the most vicious person. Indeed, Jasper had asked his family information network about that individual investigation information. They had told him that in the Milky Way Alliance, the number of financial organisations that could obtain such information would be less than 10. He didn't know who could have gotten their hands on this as this information had simply turned the tables around!

In the eyes of Jasper, Yan Xiaosu was truly unfathomable. He was truly rich and unrestrained.

However, Jasper's surprise had only begun and it was also the case for others.

It wasn't a great moment for OMG but it had attracted a great amount of attention on them now. No one had expected them to launch a new product under such circumstances.

It was just that when the product was launched, it surprised the entire Milky Way Alliance.

The name of Ye Zisu instantly spread across various major Federation and Empire. If the new product's usage rate was just 70-80% of what was claimed in the advertisement, this would be a revolution and a military innovation.

Chapter 827: Super box

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Information communication at the mature stage of the Interstellar Voyage era was naturally very rapid. However as the region was truly too broad and the information being too voluminous, other than some mainstream Federation level or Milky Alliance news, most of the news would only stay within the surrounding star region.

Any piece of news that could spread throughout the main countries of Milky Way Alliance in a short period of time would mean that was a big incident!

If it was commercial news, one needed to pay even more information to it.

In the past when KING Company was successful in the Spatial project, the truth was the news just touched on it. The coverage on it also wasn't big. This was because even if it could be transferred for civilian use, what would it be used on? It was also unknown how far it could be applied.

The general consensus was that it would at most be applicable on warships travelling at warp speed for some transfers. Truthfully speaking, this was probably some strategic requirements for the upper management oin the military. It was also for reserves purposes.

However when this project of OMG was out, the truth was that any independent Federation with stationed troops would have their eyes on it.

An additional equipment for mech warriors.

This wasn't a very new thinking. Some high end supportive mecha would most likely equip another supportive system. However, it was proven in practical trials that it would affect battle prowess. It would most likely appear against the Zerg or in battle with relatively smaller skirmishes.

Wang Zheng had told Ye Zisu about the principle of Old Zhuo's device in the Abyss. At that time, Ye Zisu had still rejected the proposal. This was because that type of flying device was streamline at all. After equipping, the mech, they would tend to become quite bulky. It was still viable against the Zerg but would be useless in battles between mecha. It was especially so as that type of device might only be suitable in the Abyss and couldn't even withstand a blow from the Zerg outside the Abyss.

At the same time, the core technology of that device itself wasn't difficult at all. From an economic point of view, the value was truly not high. However the idea of design had greatly stimulated Ye Zisu.

All along, Ye Zisu and Xiao Fei had been having headaches about the transfer of the spatial technology. The returns from its application on warships were too low. From an academic point of view, the breakthrough was very big and had laid the foundation in many different aspects. To put it simply, if it couldn't provide better returns, it would not match the expectations.

Moreover, with the intervention of the Solar System Federation, they had sacrificed a portion of it in exchange for support politically. This was also an inevitable process.

However Wang Zheng's thoughts had given Ye Zisu an inspiration. Ye Zisu had never taken the conventional road. Her way of thinking was intrinsically different from traditional mecha designers. She dared to dream and dared to break the shackles of traditions. This was where she was similar to Xiao Fei. Naturally, they had received some assistance from the Genesis Coffee Club in this process. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so successful.

A new model of mecha equipment was born and was known simply as the CPD. It was a type of consumable mecha equipment. Its size wasn't large and the consumption wasn't great but what it could provide was a short distance space warp.

On the battlefield, such a warp might mean one life. Moreover, this wouldn't need the support of Ability X. Any mech warriors would be able to use it.

After usage, it could be unequipped and discarded or be replenished for further use. However, it could be used three to five times only, This was mainly because of the wear and tear on the system during the warping process and the consumption to the Super Gravity Energy Mineral ore. These was something that couldn't be replenished.

One could say that OMG had gotten free from the norm, broken the monopoly and had truly label themselves on this unique and key technological revolution. Truthfully speaking, Ye Zisu wasn't very confident about it too. After all, it was additional equipment to the mecha. One should know that the current focus was to reduce the load on mecha. At the same time, based on different models, the design would be different. This would mean that it had to be custom built for each model. Those things that couldn't be commonly used would be even harder to sell.

Ye Zisu still had some confidence within her. However, the thing about business was that it didn't mean it would be fine with just confidence. Therefore, they had made use of the exposure of OMG this time and launched the product. This would be equivalent to saving a large sum of promotional expenses. If the Chronos knew about this, they would probably be really pissed off.

However, one had to admit that with the influence of OMG now, the promotional and publicity this time had truly been the largest.

Typically, once this type of technology was launched, the market would usually be divided. They would either be interested or not. Ye Zisu was also waiting for the feedback from the market. A few hours had passed but why didn't the marketing department respond yet?

Could it be that there were no one interested?

It shouldn't be that bad right?

She really felt that this was a good thing. The only flaw was that the cost of manufacturing was a little high. Otherwise, it would be the fact that the consumption would be was rather fast. However, there was no way around it. She had considered the size of it and the consumption. This was the best choice. She didn't design it this way to sell more of it.

As a designer, Ye Zisu felt that this design was definitely the best. It was just that it would be better if the price was lower as this was the only obstacle to the development of this project. However, OMG had already made the decision to launch part of the trial products. Once one used it, one would definitely feel that it would be value for money.

Thinking of this, Ye Zisu suddenly become more firm. At this time, the head of marketing, Luo Jianghe stumbled in.

Ye Zisu smiled faintly and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic."

"Missy, something big has happened…"

"Calm down uncle Luo. We have been through violent storms and waves." Ye Zisu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What big things could have happened? The Ye Family could be considered to have just returned from the edge of death. There's already nothing that could surprise Ye Zisu.

"Our marketing system has undergone an attack and is now paralyzed." Luo Jianghe had a serious look on him. He had also been in OMG for a long time. In the past, things were smooth. Although there weren't any big moves, he was guaranteed good rewards no matter the circumstances. He might be well known now but Luo Jianghe was facing layers and layers of stress. He was afraid of not being able to do his job well. However, the more he was afraid, the more things there were. They had just launched a marketing plan and their system was paralyzed now. This was clearly a direct target on them.

Ye Zisu frowned. Coincidence? Clearly that's not possible. "Uncle Luo, don't panic. Let me go take a look."

The technicians were trying to fix it now and were checking the reasons behind the breakdown at the same time.

"Xiao Mu, what's the situation now."

"President, this is weird. Initially, I had thought that the system was under attack. However from the looks of the overall docking source, there aren't any issues." The technician with the nickname Xiao Mu adjusted his spectacles and said. "However, in just a period of 10 minutes, there are influxes of over one hundred thousand port numbers into our system. Moreover, these come from all over the Milky Way Alliance…"

Ye Zisu was stunned for a while. What followed next was a feeling of not knowing if she should cry or laugh. Everyone was truly paranoid. Clearly, the impact of the CPD was much better than imagined. It was so good that it had exceeded everyone's expectation.

Soon, Ye Zisu's judgement was verified. Countless Skylinks had call in. There were many people using various methods to know about the situation of CPD.

Xiao Fei's Skylink also dialled in. "Zisu, it seems that we are going to be rich this time. Call Yan Xiaosu and come over to my place quickly. We need to meet up and discuss our future strategy."

"Alright teacher." Ye Zisu was finally able to truly relax herself. She was also elated from the bottom of her heart. There was finally light at the end of the tunnel. Obviously, what made her happiest was that her design concept was being recognised.

While they were verifying if the system was under attack, they were also planning to quickly increase the bandwidth. It was just that under normal circumstances, a small company would not experience such a huge volume of access at the same time. It would be strange if it really happened.

Once the effects of CPD was verified to be truly as great as what was advertised, OMG would have truly taken a huge step towards the entire Milky Way Alliance.

This time, they had not depended on their connection with the people of Tita but had depended on their products.

The birth of any Milky Way Alliance level financial organisation would require a series of patented products as their main selling point. The CPD represented such an opportunity.

Further introduction of the CPD was released soon after. With the attention garnered. OMG wouldn't need to invest too much into it. They weren't panicking now. The side which was panicking was the ones who demanded it.

The introduction on the product functionalities of CPD and the product demonstrations were already rather clear. It would be especially so if used in critical moments to transmit oneself and save one's life. Although the distance wasn't great, such a warp was in fact equivalent to another life. Even if the price was high, if the mech could survive, the calculation on returns would be reasonable.

In just a short while, the mecha world was boiling. If Ye Zisu was not well-known, others might have doubted the advertisement and this wouldn't receive as much attention. However Ye Zisu was already a mecha designer with a little fame. At the same time, KING Company's authority in the spatial project was also beyond doubt. The new device born from the cooperation between the two of them was clearly very reliable. If it was verified as possible, without a doubt, a new storm would have arrived.

The entire Milky Way Galaxy was enshrouded in a strange atmosphere. Some was anticipating, some were stressed and some were excited. If you were the competitors of OMG, you would truly feel a little worried. As a military organisation, if the CPD was verified as viable and the actual effect wouldn't affect the movement of the mech, the blow to them would be lethal. OMG would be going global.

The Chronos Family held an emergency meeting. The Old Chronos was listening to the report of his old Butler Drupe. With regards to the OMG incident, he didn't have to make a move. There would naturally be relevant departments of the family doing such small matters. Whether it would succeed or fail were both normal. This was normal operations for a family. However, the counter of OMG was truly very sharp and was even a little strange. With the appearance of CPD, the Chronos Family would not be able to touch OMG in the future. Once a company from the Solar System had gone global throughout the Milky Way Alliance, those small little tricks would not be presentable with the interests of various parties involved.

"Master, the situation is a little grave now. Based on our intelligence, that CPD could very much be real." Drupe said worriedly. Truthfully speaking, even if Ye Bingwen was satisfied now or OMG having the Tita project, they were at most a new noveau riche and the threats to the Chronos would be limited. However if the CPD was launched, this would be beyond their control anymore. OMG might become a large organization in a short time.

The Old Chronos knocked on the table softly. This old man always looked like he was dying or could be considered as having one leg in the coffin. However, he was still living on very well.

Seeing that Old Chronos didn't say a word, Drupe hesitated but still continued, "Master, should we…"

Old Chronos shook his head softly and a weird smile appeared on his mouth. "This is fate. If we can't go against it, tell those below that we have to admit defeat when we lose. We shouldn't play anymore tricks."

"Yes master. With regards to Young Master's side…"

"Don't disturb him. This might be a good thing." laughed Old Chronos. If Lear was to always stare at the little wealth of the Chronos Family, he would just be a miser and a small rich guy who hadn't seen the world. He wouldn't become someone great forever by doing so. At this stage, the Chronos Family wanted to bet on this opportunity. The stake would be what they had accumulated for a few hundred years and that 'succession'.

With one leg already in his coffin, the Old Chronos had nothing he longed for. He had already enjoyed all the wealth and glory of time. At the last stage, what was left was the glory of the Family. Although he couldn't achieve it, Lear had the chance to achieve it. Even if it was just a glimmer of hope, he would also want to wager everything on it.

Chapter 828: Hell and Heaven

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The mecha demonstrations for CPD were the most direct. No one had thought that such a complicated device would only be an additional part that spanned approximately one metre. This wouldn't be a problem for most of the mecha. Moreover, it wasn't heavy and wouldn't consume too much energy. In an instance, the various military organizations of various countries had strong interest in it.

To put it more bluntly, when the effects of the practical use of this device was verified, it would definitely cause a revolution.

OMG wasn't in a rush at all. Ye Bingwen could definitely be seen as someone who had risen directly to heaven from hell in an instance. The team from the Hail Cloud Alliance was originally just there for a show. However, they now had a direct objective now and that was the CPD.

The news had already reached the Elite Academy. Although it didn't cause too much reactions within the students as everything had to be verified first before they knew if it would be useful, Ai Xiaolu's eyes were wide open. With her sensitivity to these things, she clearly knew what this would mean.

"Cough, cough. Senior Xiaolu. Don't panic and speak slower." Wang Zheng was intimidated by Ai Xiaolu's momentum. Zhang Shan and the rest who were beside them were all laughing.

"I don't care. Our Ai Financial Group wants the exclusive rights to it in Hail Cloud Alliance. You wouldn't be disadvantaged in any way."

In a very short amount of time, Ai Xiaolu understood that the production of this device wouldn't be that simple. It would mean that production volume would be limited. Moreover in the technical aspect, KING Company was the front runner in core spatial technology. It would be difficult for others to copy it. In addition, they had the patent protection throughout the Milky Way Alliance. As such, even countries wouldn't dare to touch it. If she could control the volume in the Milky Way Alliance, money wouldn't be a problem. Ai Financial Group wasn't lacking in money. What was more important was influence. This would definitely increase Ai Financial Group's influence in the Military and the Parliament.

"Alright, alright. Let me speak to Zisu about it." laughed Wang Zheng. This wouldn't be a problem. In the most crucial moments, Ai Xiaolu and Ai Financial Organsation had all helped him. Repaying them for the favours extended should be a given. Moreover this matter would also be good for OMG. With OMG's current strength and influence, using the mode of agents for promotions would undoubtedly be the best. At the same time, it would save them from a lot of quarrels.

Wang Zheng knew that Ye Zisu and Professor Xiao Fei had worked hard on this thing and had asked him for some views. It was just that Wang Zheng felt that the possibility for this wasn't great. He had not expected that all the technical aspects had been solved. He had determined that if this device could be used repetitively, the technical constraints would be the biggest challenge. However if it was of the consumable type, it would be completely different. If it could only be used for 3-5 times, it wouldn't make much of a difference for Wang Zheng or even other Ability X users. In fact, it wouldn't matter. However for a normal warrior, it would be completely different. In the human army, most of the people were ordinary. This shouldn't be overlooked as they were the main battle power.

Who wouldn't want to have the ability to preserve one's life?

However, Student Zhang Shan was feeling a little bottled up. Although his warp ability couldn't be considered as completely unique to him, it could still be considered as rare. He had also seen the demonstration. Despite it not being as controllable as his Ability, it was enough to give him a headache.

In the world of the humans, technical revolution was the number 1 battle power.

Others might not know about it clearly, but Ai Xiaolu knew clearly about Wang Zheng's relationship to OMG and KING Company. One had to admit that Wang Zheng and his friends were getting stronger and stronger.

However, these weren't the reasons why Ai Xiaolu decided to help Wang Zheng. She truly just felt that it was comfortable being around this person and she was really happy. She had never expected that there would be a day when Wang Zheng could actually aid her.

A technological product like CPD was truly a miracle. Knowledge is power and this had never changed.

This device was also the best way to recoup costs spent on the proving the theory of spatial transmission. In other words, shareholders, who bought KING's and OMG's shares, would definitely be happy.

Since the announcement of this piece of news, OMG's shares had soared constantly as though it wouldn't stop till it reached the clouds.

Previously when OMG had fallen to the lowest point, Ye Zisu had been going around to raise funds to buy back OMG's shares so as to maintain the share price and stabilise the market. It would seem that they had really make a huge profit this time.

At that time, it was clearly an inevitable decision. Looking back now, this was an unparalleled-ly wise decision and allowed the Ye Family to be in total control of OMG.

They could finally start making money on it.

Jasper's side was already crying and begging. "Brother Yan, my dear brother. That… could we discuss about it? For Lya Sphinx, can our Tadinger… I know that our organisation isn't worth mentioning when it comes to military aspects…"

Jasper was truly panicking. Lya Sphinx Federation was a first class federation after all and was an existence that ranked in the top 10 in the Milky Way Alliance. There were countless number of large Financial Organisations. Tadinger Group had a certain level of influence but truthfully speaking, their family was ordinary in the aspects of technology. This would also mean that they had the money but low speaking rights. Once a Financial Organisation had accumulated wealth to a certain level, it would definitely pursue something higher, and that would be authority.

The one who controlled the needs of the Military would be equivalent to having speaking rights.

However Jasper also knew that relationships were just relationships and business was business. He always felt that Yan Xiaosu wouldn't just let it go. He had the premonition but had not expected that it would be such a big move. He was completely convinced by him and only hope that the other party would give Tadinger a chance considering their relationship over a long time. This was very important to raising Tadinger's position. Once he could obtain it, his position in the Tadinger Financial Organisation would receive the attention of everyone. He could also let those so-called seniors and those professional managers who had looked down on him know that he also could make it!

"Look at how worried you are. I know what I'm doing. It doesn't matter what qualities or conditions you have. As long as I said you are good, you are! There are over 10 organisations from Lya Sphinx who want a share of it but I have asked OMG's side to handle it. All you have to do now is to wait for news."

Yan Xiaosu said. "Money isn't the most important. If there's something good, I would naturally take care of our own people first."

The way Yan Xiaosu did business was non-mainstream in the Milky Way Alliance and focused much on brotherhood. Truthfully speaking, even people like Tadinger couldn't understand it. In this age, what didn't depend on the interests and contracts? However, Yan Xiaosu didn't look at these at all. He didn't know why but he felt comfortable about it. In other words, he found Yan Xiaosu reliable. In the past, Jasper didn't think too much into it as he had committed a lot of capital already. Real hard cash was invested in and Yan Xiaosu wouldn't be at a disadvantage for the Tita Project. However, things were different now. One should know that OMG would earn a lot less money with Yan Xiaosu's request.

"Brother Yan, I won't say those unnecessary things anymore!"

Yan Xiaosu smiled faintly. After numerous interactions, although Jasper might not be very capable, he was reliable. Yan Xiaosu's family ran a small business but he had learnt from young from Old Yan that one could never earn all the money. However, an additional friend would mean an additional living route.

His type of non-mainstream way of doing business was truly not the ordinary path. However, it was a path that he had chosen himself.

With regard to the strategic matters, neither Old Yan or Ye Bingwen wanted to care about it anymore. They were only providing assistance with their experience. The times had really changed.

"Achilles, I haven't thank you for your help previously. How do you feel about it? Are you interested in the CPD project?"

Wang Zheng smiled.

Achilles truly had a strong ego. Since joining the Saruman Snake battle team, he had volunteered to be the reserve and wouldn't want others to feel that he was here to snatch their position. He had helped OMG previously as it was something simple to him and didn't talk about it. However the CPD project was truly a little too explosive and the Heavenly King Family couldn't totally ignore it. They already had the intention to contact OMG. It was great that they had left a good impression previously and it shouldn't be too much of a problem. However if this could be settled internally, it would definitely be a good thing.

"Interest? I definitely do!"

"Alright, that's it. I would get OMG to contact your side." It wasn't necessary to say those courteous words with Achilles. It would be better to be direct when dealing with him.

Achilles nodded his head and didn't say much. However he knew it clearly in his heart.

From this very moment, the representative figures of the Solar System had divided into 2 factions. Wang Zheng with Achilles and Lear with Lie Xin. No one would have expected this line-up previously. However at this stage, it was just following the natural flow of things.
