Under Qi Yuanbao's command, all the light beams seemed to be adjusted ten times faster.
Countless defenders filled every gap on their bodies with their Crystal Suits. The crystal cannons, the mystic ray cannons, and the honeycomb-type mini flying sword launchers were all activated, and the multi-barreled Vulcan Machine Guns revolved quickly.
Countless battle puppets rolled out of the openings on the two sides of the heavy crystal tanks. With glamorous lines popping up on their surface, they were dissected and combined into aggressive battle forms.
Countless battle shuttles rushed past in midair, making earsplitting noises that even made the meeting room squeak. Below the cross-shaped wings of every battle shuttle, dozens of crimson mystic rays darted out and locked onto a certain point on the artificial dome, illuminating the virtual blue sky and white clouds in redness!
Furthermore, in deafening noises, three iron gods dozens of meters tall rose from the ground and marched toward the artificial dome in a triangle formation. They were the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors' own Colossi!
The invaders who were still struggling inside the ventilation tubes seemed to have been scared out of their wits when they sensed the gathering of the army outside and the unsheathing of their sabers and swords. In a hurry, they tried to return to the outer district and then to space from the outer district.
However, there was no time.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! Countless Exos, battle puppets, crystal tanks, and battle shuttles opened fire at the artificial dome around the invaders at the same time, turning part of the artificial dome into an ocean of iron that was almost melted. One second later, the entire artificial dome collapsed, and the invaders fell too!
The invaders tried their best, trying to escape through the holes that the defenders blew out.
However, the defenders had calculated his every escape route and blocked his retreat with the most brutal crossfire. Every attempt of the invaders to escape ended in failure, and he was forced back by brute force.
He was like a fly that had been caged in a glass jar. No matter how hard he tried, he could only smash his head and bleed.
"Have you seen it? After almost 100 years of construction and training, the Seven Seas Grand Market is not a place where people can come and go as they please!"
Qi Yuanbao said with a smile, "If you are willing, you can even go to the window and observe the battlefield directly. The battlefield is no more than thirty kilometers away from us. You can see the smoke and the roaring cannons from the window.
"No, no, no. There's no need to worry about the safety of this place. In order to prepare for the battle of Seven Seas, all the experts of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors and even the peripheral worlds of the Imperium have gathered in the Seven Seas Grand Market. The most distinguished assassins, the most brutal mercenaries, and the most fearless gladiators of the entire Imperium have been gathered here. Of course, the most advanced battle puppet control system is also here. Even though the capability of our fleet is not as good as that of the four families, the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors is invincible when it comes to the quality and experience of the individual soldiers!
"We have performed detailed analysis on all the public battle videos of Vulture Li Yao. Despite his savagery, it is impossible for him to cause any damage to our headquarters. Your safety is absolutely guaranteed!
"As it happens, we can take this opportunity to show you the strength that we have been hiding for a hundred years. Vulture Li Yao cannot sabotage the Seven Seas Grand Market, and the fleets of the four families cannot sabotage the business of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors and you, either! As long as you stand on our side unwaveringly, all your investments will definitely be returned a hundred times! "
On the light beam behind Qi Yuanbao, dozens of glamorous fireballs were ignited, as if it were a stage made of fire.
With that as the background, he opened his arms to all the managers, shareholders, investors, and business partners of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. Thick veins were gradually bulging out of his forehead, as if his face were covered in a green mask of horror. He declared solemnly, "You have all seen it with your own eyes. What's there to hesitate about? The four families used 'Vulture Li Yao' to perform such a sordid approach exactly because they knew clearly that they could not defeat us in the space battlefield with their low morale!
"Unity. As long as we are united enough, we will be able to defeat all the enemies and grasp the brilliance of all the stars in the universe in our hands!
"Right now, because of the unfortunate demise of the former director, Jin Yuyan, and the urgency of the situation, I request that the meeting grant me the permission of 'temporary director' so that I can command all the armed forces of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors on land and in space to deal with the 'battle of Seven Seas' that is about to break out at any moment!"
Qi Yuanbao's voice was so deafening that it swept across the entire conference room like thunder.
The other four senior managers whispered to each other solemnly. Although they were still somewhat suspicious about him, they did not object or refuse on the spot.
The regular managers and the people of the "Wuying faction" among the shareholders were even noisier, waving flags and cheering for him, instigating more people to support him.
The noises grew louder and louder, gradually congregating into a torrent of exclamations and astonishment.
At first, Qi Yuanbao listened gloatingly, thinking that he was sure of his victory.
But the more he listened, the more he felt that something was not right. Why did everybody look so weird? Also, the sounds of guns and explosions behind him gradually died down. What was going on? Had Vulture Li Yao escaped?
When Qi Yuanbao looked back, he discovered that the "intense" battle on all the surveillance light beams had stopped.
However, the intruder did not run away or resist stubbornly. Instead, he raised his hands high and surrendered!
Also, fearing that the defenders would kill him to keep his mouth shut, he darted out black mystic rays from a tiny backpack on his back and condensed into three giant words dozens of meters long and wide in midair.
"I surrender!"
The exclamation mark at the end was thick and long, more than a hundred meters long. With the eyesight of the Immortal Cultivators, they could see it clearly even from dozens of kilometers away.
Many managers and shareholders rushed to the window to take a look, only to exclaim in disbelief. They had truly seen the three giant words that were hanging on the artificial dome.
Qi Yuanbao immediately had sweat that looked like ice popping up on his forehead.
The truth of Jin Yuyan's assassination was a top secret. Only he and Wuying Qinxin knew it.
The armed forces that were sent to annihilate the intruder knew nothing about it. It was impossible for him to demand the defenders to "kill him to keep his mouth shut" under any circumstances. Such an order would have been too weird.
He had thought that Vulture Li Yao would certainly resist hard and cause heavy casualties after he was discovered. There would be no chance for the two parties to communicate or defend themselves at all. Even if he did, Vulture Li Yao would not be able to explain his identity and background clearly.
Therefore, in his deduction, the worst-case scenario was that Vulture Li Yao escaped, which would be even better. Everybody could only believe his "one-sided story".
He did not expect that Vulture Li Yao would make such a move. He had chosen to surrender without activating his Colossus? It … It must be a scheme!
However, before he uttered the word "scheme", Qi Yuanbao realized that his trouble had just begun.
On the dozens of light beams, the intruder was still standing where he was dutifully with his hands raised, but the Crystal Suit on his body was suddenly dissected and ejected to the ground not far away. His combat suit was also ripped apart by spiritual energy, revealing a body that was as furry as a panther and a pair of bright gold eyes.
It turned out to be a mixed-blood who boasted demon genes. A "half-demon"!
"Well —"
Dumbfounded, Qi Yuanbao was lost for words.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Countless suspicious eyes were cast at him, especially the other four senior managers who were of similar positions to him. Their eyes were full of inquiry and wariness, as if they were questioning him, "Is this really 'Vulture Li Yao'?"
Vulture Li Yao was an out-and-out pure-blooded human being. At the very least, it was a well-known fact that he did not have any dominant demon genes.
Even if he had to disguise himself to sneak into the Seven Seas Grand Market, it did not seem necessary for him to disguise himself as a half-demon. There were half-demons and demons in the Imperium, but those unusual creatures were too eye-catching and unsuitable for disguises.
So, why did Qi Yuanbao think that the intruder was "Vulture Li Yao"?
At this moment, the black words above the half-demon's head gradually wriggled and changed, delivering a new message.
"Stay away from the window and block your ears with spiritual energy."
What was the meaning of that?
Everybody in the meeting room looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing whom the half-demon was talking to. There were obviously no windows around the armed forces that surrounded him, but the managers, shareholders, and investors in the headquarters of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors dozens of kilometers away were surrounded by transparent windows.
Could it be —
"Don't be nervous. Relax."
The black words above the half-demon's head changed again. "I only want to talk to you about the business. Three, two, one!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before everybody realized what was going on, ten thousand stun grenades seemed to have exploded around the headquarters at the same time. The glass walls around the meeting room were shattered instantly, and the toughest tempered glass splashed out into crystals that looked like sand. It seemed that the people closest to the windows were even blown more than ten meters away by the soundwaves. The remote projections were also torn into twisted waves, unable to be condensed for a long time.
The furious soundwaves were like a flood formed by thunder and fire. They surged and hit the entire conference room and the eardrums and hearts of everyone in the conference room.
It was a barbaric, brutal, and rough battle song. Every syllable seemed to have been splashed out by a battle axe when it was chopped into bones. After being remixed and rearranged, it seemed to be ten times more brutal than before with the bombardment of the giant cannons as the background!
Everybody's eardrums and heart seemed to have been brushed by high-explosive bombs again, again, and again.
They vaguely felt that the battle song sounded familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere a long, long time ago. However, their boiling brains and exploding hearts did not allow them to recall it.
The wind, mixed with the smell of iron and smoke, flooded into the meeting room, making everybody's soul shiver.
