Chapter 331: Bribery
With the Redmond Group involved, no matter how much of a headache Captain Ennor had, he had to calm down and think it through carefully.
Logically speaking, it’s unlikely that a new cosmic civilization is related to the Redmond Group. Then, there’s only one possibility: Amba.s.sador Tejano! Captain Ennor thought.
The name of the staff sent by the Cosmic Human Alliance wasn’t a secret. The upper echelons of Earth knew that Pang Ze and a group of cosmic citizens had long come into contact with the virtual world. Some of them had leaked some information about Earth.
The Cosmic Human Alliance also shared information on Earth with the Oohook Star Alliance.
The Black Moon civilization had also gathered this information. For example, they knew about the distribution of mineral deposits, the number of transactions, evolvers, and scholars.
!!
With Amba.s.sador Tejano’s ident.i.ty, how can he think highly of someone from Earth? Captain Ennor thought.
Tejano’s full name: Tejano Redmond Xire
Anyone with some knowledge knew how n.o.ble this person’s ident.i.ty was as long as they saw his full name!
Xire—this was an ancient royal family in the Hunter Cosmic Sector! The Xire family had established an intermediate cosmic civilization and had an extremely deep heritage. But in this era, the Xire family had produced the greatest existence—Redmond! Redmond’s halo alone exceeded all the outstanding ancestors in the history of the Xire family.
When a person’s name was followed by the suffix ‘Redmond Xire,’ even the scions of the three advanced cosmic civilizations didn’t dare to slight them.
But in fact, Xu Jingming did receive the Redmond Medal. Captain Ennor returned to his personal s.p.a.ce and checked the information in front of him. Moreover, Tejano once hid his ident.i.ty and partic.i.p.ated in the virtual world compet.i.tion on Earth before ultimately losing to Xu Jingming.
“He treated Xu Jingming differently because the two of them fought, and he lost to him?”
Captain Ennor immediately contacted his family elders. His family was quite influential in the Black Moon civilization and was a part of the civilization’s decision-making hierarchy.
Buzz!
An equally tall middle-aged man appeared in front of him, and his eyes were as dark as a deep pool.
“Grandpa.” Captain Ennor bowed respectfully.
“Ennor, you met with trouble?” The middle-aged man looked at him. Cipolla was already more than 6,000 years old this year and had many children. Captain Ennor was one of the better ones.
“Yes…” Captain Ennor began to explain the situation in detail.
The middle-aged man was very calm after the briefing.
Captain Ennor placed great importance on the wealth of Earth’s civilization, but as the supreme leader in charge of the family, he felt that it didn’t matter if they earned less from Earth. The foundation of the family’s rise was to produce top talents on the educational or evolutionary paths.
“Grandpa, what should I do?” Captain Ennor asked.
“Any possibility of angering the Redmond Group is something we can’t afford,” the middle-aged man said with a calm smile. “Therefore, we can’t take any risks. The simplest solution is to bribe this Redmond Medal recipient.”
“Bribe Xu Jingming?” Captain Ennor was stunned.
“Try it.” With that said, the projection dissipated.
…
In a courtyard.
Amba.s.sador Xefani drank some afternoon tea while Secretary General Angus accompanied him.
“I discovered that a genius from your civilization named Xu Jingming has actually received the Redmond Medal?” Black Moon civilization’s amba.s.sador, Xefani, smiled and said, “I would like to meet him personally.”
“Meet Xu Jingming?” Secretary General Angus’s heart tightened.
“I hope to meet him today.” Xefani’s eyes were oppressive.
Secretary General Angus didn’t dare to agree immediately. He realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately said, “We can’t force Xu Jingming either. Amba.s.sador, don’t worry. We’ll talk to Xu Jingming first. If he agrees to meet… we’ll immediately arrange a meeting.”
Amba.s.sador Xefani nodded and didn’t say anything.
******
An emergency meeting of Earth’s upper echelons.
“They want to meet Xu Jingming!”
“The Redmond Group behind Xu Jingming should be what the Black Moon civilization fears the most. For them to be in such a hurry to meet Xu Jingming… Perhaps they want to get rid of this obstacle.”
“Since they don’t dare to use force against Xu Jingming, they are likely going to bribe him. If Xu Jingming, the recipient of the Redmond Medal, doesn’t step forward, the contract that the Black Moon civilization eventually gets us to sign will definitely squeeze us dry.”
“We have no choice in the face of the Black Moon civilization’s contract.”
“No other faction will trade with the Black Moon civilization in the 12th Star Zone of the entire Oohook Star Alliance.”
The upper echelons of Earth knew the situation very well.
Being the strongest civilization in Star Zone 12, the other factions would defer to the Black Moon civilization. If they dared to dig their paws into this matter, the Black Moon civilization would also reveal their domineering side!
That cosmic mothership wasn’t just to intimidate Earth.
“Xu Jingming is also a shareholder. The corporation’s unfair contract violates his interests. As long as he steps forward, the Black Moon civilization won’t dare to push us too far. They’re also afraid that the Redmond Group will step in.”
“Will Xu Jingming be bribed?”
Earth’s civilization wasn’t confident as the human heart was unpredictable.
“Contact Xu Jingming first and talk to him… before letting them meet. We can’t stop the Black Moon civilization from meeting Xu Jingming.” The upper echelons of Earth didn’t have a good solution.
…
Xu Jingming went offline and left the mysterious land. He met Director Zhou in his living room, and the latter explained his intention for coming.
