With Alicia's resurrection, the matter regarding the Jewel Seeds came to an end. Pressia kept her word and handed over all the Jewel Seeds she had collected to Fangzheng. She also agreed to Fangzheng's proposal to go and settle down on Earth.
Although Alicia was successfully resurrected, Pressia's soul had been greatly damaged. Not only had her strength dropped by a lot, but her body had also become quite weak, so she needed to rest for some time. Of course, Fangzheng did not object to this, but he still gave Pressia a "punishment".
"In any case, the commotion caused by your attempt to collect Jewel Seeds on Earth, the near-collapse of the plane, and the abuse you gave to Fiitta won't be written off so easily. So, the punishment I'm giving you is … to live with Fiitta. I'll leave the rest to you."
When Fangzheng said this, Pressia's expression suddenly became extremely complicated. Before this, she had been wholeheartedly focused on resurrecting Alicia, so she had never thought about how she would face Fiitta in the future. But now, when everything had been settled, Pressia remembered how much she had hurt Fiitta in the past.
Not only that, everything she did, Alicia actually saw it all the time ….
Well, if it was not impossible, Pressia really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
But of course, Fangzheng would not allow Pressia to do that. Indeed, according to the original ending, Pressia and Alicia would be dead, and there would be no need to worry about these troublesome matters. But now that I've helped you resurrect Alicia, you'll have to accept this punishment obediently ….
Who told you not to treat Fiitta as a human? Who told you to speak ill of Fiitta? Who told you to slap people for no reason?
Now, your retribution has come. You're embarrassed, aren't you? You have nothing to say now, right?
But what does this have to do with me? Isn't this all your own fault? Go and wipe your own butt!
But it was not over yet. At least, when an uninvited guest came to Fangzheng's house, Fangzheng knew that this matter would not end so easily.
"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng."
Standing in front of Fangzheng was a woman in a blue uniform with green hair and a gentle smile on her face.
"My name is Lindy Harlowen, I'm the Space Administration's General Commander and Captain of the Dimensional Navigation Force 'Asra'. This time, I'm responsible for representing the Space Administration to negotiate with you and the Tendo Temple."
"I know why you're here."
Fangzheng glanced at Lindy and made a gesture.
"Please take a seat."
"Alright."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Lindy smiled and nodded at him, then sat on the sofa opposite Fangzheng. The guy in black who had met Fangzheng before stood behind Lindy, looking at Fangzheng angrily.
"It's like this …"
After taking a sip of black tea, Lindy thought for a moment, then looked at Fangzheng and said cautiously.
"Perhaps you don't know this, but we're here for the Jewel Seed, as well as an extremely vicious criminal, Pressia Testrosha. She's accused of developing taboo human research technology, attacking the warships of the Authority, robbing the Seed of the Holy Stone, an ancient heritage, and attempting to cause a dimensional quake …. These are all very dangerous acts. The Authority is here to stop her evil deeds. Please believe that we have no evil intentions …. "
However, before Lindy could finish, Fangzheng raised his hand and interrupted her.
"You don't have to tell me this. I already know the situation very well. Next, I'll tell you the outcome of the Tendo Temple's handling."
"Go ahead."
Hearing this, Lindy's expression suddenly became serious. Fangzheng narrowed his eyes, stared at Lindy, and said.
He then said, "We've collected all the Seed of the Holy Stone. In principle, we can return all of them to you. After all, they don't belong to us, so it's meaningless for us to keep them here. You can take them away. But … Pressia Testrosha and her daughter are currently under the protection of the Tendo Temple. You have no right to arrest them without our permission. "
"But Pressia is a criminal who has committed serious crimes!"
Before Lindy could say anything, Culono could not help but speak up.
"She has violated dozens of laws of the Space Administration …"
"But those are the laws of the Space Administration. They have nothing to do with the Tendo Temple."
Fangzheng interrupted Culono coldly.
"The things she has done on Earth will be punished by the Tendo Temple, but the problems of the Space Administration have nothing to do with us. You must know that this is not the backyard of the Space Administration. You have not signed any extradition treaty or agreement with the Tendo Temple, so I can naturally refuse your request. What? Do you want to use the sword of the Ming Dynasty to behead the officials of the Qing Dynasty? Not to mention the fall of the Qing Dynasty! "
"You …"
Upon hearing that, Crono could not help but retort. Although he did not know what Fangzheng's last words meant, he could guess that Fangzheng was mocking him, and so he could not help but retort. However, at that moment, Admiral Lindy interrupted Culono.
"Don't say anymore, Culono."
"But … Captain … this …"
Lindy waved her hand, signaling Culono to stop talking. At the same time, she closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Fangzheng again.
"Mr. Fangzheng, is this the decision of the Tendo Temple?"
"I am the supreme ruler of the Tendo Temple. My words are, of course, the final decision."
Fangzheng fiddled with the teacup in his hand and looked at the woman in front of him.
"I want to make one thing clear. The main goal of the Tendo Temple is to protect Earth and the survival of human civilization. Anything else is not within our scope of consideration. That's why the Heavenly Dao Palace can't be bothered with the affairs of your Space Administration. However, if you continue to come and go as you please without any notice, and treat Earth and the entire human civilization sphere as your backyard, then things will be different. "
"I understand what you mean, Captain."
Lindy was not a fool. Of course, she understood that Fangzheng was telling her that the Tendo Temple was not hostile to the Space Administration and would not take the initiative to cause trouble for the Space Administration. But this did not mean that the Tendo Temple was afraid of the Space Administration. If the Space Administration took advantage of them, then the situation would be completely different.
Thinking of this, Lindy immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Fangzheng.
"I will report everything you said to the headquarters."
After saying this, Lindy quickly left with Culono and returned to her warship. After being teleported back to the warship, Culono impatiently looked at his mother and asked.
"Mom, why did you do this? That Presia has indeed committed a serious crime …. "
"That's right."
Lindy nodded when she heard Culono's question.
"But what Mr. Fangzheng said is also correct. We are currently not within the sphere of influence of the Space Administration. Strictly speaking, we have no law enforcement power in this world."
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch the criminal get away with it? "
"That's not the problem now …."
Looking at her son, Lindy showed a bitter smile. In her opinion, her son was still too young to understand the seriousness of the situation. The problem now was no longer as simple as arresting the criminal, but the authority of the Space Administration had been provoked and threatened!
It must be noted that the reason the Space Administration could manage so many worlds was because of their great power. But now, a Tendo Temple that suddenly appeared actually dared to show disrespect to the Space Administration. This was enough to make the group of bureaucrats at the headquarters stomp their feet in anger. Not to mention, Lindy knew very well that this matter would not end just like that.
If the Space Administration was an organization that would obediently listen to an unfamiliar organization's words, then it would be impossible for it to govern and supervise so many worlds.
But … Lindy was also full of doubts about this.
She had a feeling that … this matter might eventually lead to an ending that no one wanted to see.
