When the two of them arrived at the secret meeting room, the leaders of the Six Nations had already been waiting for quite some time. The giant screen in the meeting room showed the images of the leaders of the Six Nations. This was a remote video conference.
As soon as Han Xiao walked in, the leaders of the Six Nations sized him up silently. Han Xiao turned around and gave Bennett a look, and Bennett retreated to the side, indicating that he would not participate in the meeting. Han Xiao stood alone in front of the screen.
"Leaders of Stardragon, Hesla, Raylan, Theseus, Maple, and Ordina, this should be our first meeting. Good evening, gentlemen." Han Xiao's tone was calm.
"Hello, Black Phantom … To be exact, you call yourself Black Star now. We have been paying attention to you since a long time ago, and we are very happy to have this conversation."
The Stardragon leader replied with a kind smile. Because Han Xiao had once served in the Stardragon Intelligence Agency, they had a good relationship. Thus, the Stardragon leader was the representative to host this meeting.
Han Xiao raised his brows. "I know why you are here. Just say it."
"Bennett understands our intentions, but we would like to talk to you personally. Bennett said that you left and came back to protect the people of this planet from being destroyed by the Mutation Disaster. You are a noble person, and we admire you. As you can see, our people are in danger, and we hope to receive your help through this meeting. "
The Stardragon leader did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Then, what do you want?"
"We hope that you can help us restore order and save the people in danger."
"How do you want to implement this?" Han Xiao asked patiently.
"… After our discussion, we hope that the Sanctuary can share the formula and raw materials of the suppressant and send people to guide the manufacturing process. At the same time, we hope to obtain a large batch of finished suppressants to solve the emergency situation in our country. First, we want to restore the government and military operations. Then, we will try our best to isolate and save the people. As long as we recover our strength, we will be able to stop the situation from worsening and control it. During this process, we hope to borrow your warriors and fleet. We will let you know the details of the plan. "
"Sounds good. In order to discuss the plan, you delayed for a day before contacting me, right?" Han Xiao did not express his opinion and said lightly, "Then what do I have in return?"
The leaders of the Six Nations were stunned. Didn't you come back to stop the disaster and help the refugees free of charge? Why did you suddenly mention returns?
"What's wrong? You seem a little surprised." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Isn't this a deal? If there is no reward, then don't waste my time. "
"This … no one can stay out of this. It's everyone's responsibility to resist the disaster. How is this a deal? Didn't you come back to save the people on this planet?" Ordina interrupted.
"Indeed, but that's not what we're talking about now." Han Xiao stood with his arms crossed. "What you're asking for now is for me to help you restore your rule over your country. I help you restore order, and you give me something in return. It's a fair deal. Otherwise, why should I help you?"
"Helping us can save more refugees. Isn't that a reason?" Hesla's leader asked.
"Everyone will die eventually, and saving everyone is an extravagant hope. I believe you've all read my file and know that I'm not an idealist. My goal is to stop the disaster and prevent this planet from being destroyed. I can accept the loss of more people, so don't use this reason to threaten me. I'm not Bennett, and I'm not that kind. This is not something you can ask of me."
Han Xiao said slowly, "The survival of your regime makes no difference to me. I can guard the sanctuary and wait for the refugees to come to me for help. They won't be stupid enough to stay in your country and wait for your regime to be destroyed. When your regime is destroyed, I can support the sanctuary to become the new regime of this planet and become the only ruler."
Bennett opened his mouth but did not say anything. He did not have the ambition to rule and did not agree with Han Xiao's point of view at all. However, after hesitating for a while, he still chose to stand aside and trust Han Xiao, allowing him to continue.
"I don't deny that you want to save your people, but your biggest motive is to use the inhibitor and my power to stabilize your regime that is about to collapse. There's no way to deny that." Han Xiao shook his head and said coldly, "So, know your place. Since you're asking for help, you should act like you're asking for help. I'm the one who has the right to ask for help, not you."
The leaders of the Six Nations were shocked and angry. They did not expect Han Xiao to be so rude.
"No, I think you've misunderstood. You're not as important as you think you are." Theseus, who had always been tough, spoke with a deep voice. "We've already applied for help from Godora, and they will arrive very soon. We're only asking for your help because we want to save as many people as possible. Since you're so rude, we can't do anything about it. We only hope that you can remember that you rejected us and caused some people who could have survived to die. They were all killed because of you."
Black Star was not their only hope. The Six Nations were only trying to contact Han Xiao. Deep in their hearts, they still trusted the Godora Civilization more.
"We're all smart people. Don't make a fool of yourself with this kind of moral logic. As for what you said about being rude …"
Han Xiao shook his head and smiled. "Godora should have been very polite to you, but other than encouraging individuals to awaken Supers, did they give you any other help? Not only did they not help, but they also shook the order of your society. It was because of Godora's appearance that the Hundred Nations War happened decades ago, and countless people died. Furthermore, the rescue team from Godora still hasn't arrived, has it? "
The leaders of the Six Nations were silent.
Han Xiao raised his brows and suddenly changed the topic. He shrugged and said with a mocking tone, "A few years ago, I helped you win the Germinal Organization War. At that time, I did not have the chance to talk to you supreme leaders, but now, you're the ones who came to me. Why is it that in just two short years, our positions have reversed? Why is the difference so huge?"
The faces of the leaders of the Six Nations darkened, and they felt as if their hearts had been stabbed.
Negotiation was negotiation, and it was fine if they did not get along, but to suddenly poke at their sore spot was too rude!
Bad guy!
"You can only hug the thighs of the Godora Civilization tightly. They're like your ancestors. Even if you don't understand them, you have to treat them nicely and be humble. As for me, not only do I know the ins and outs of the Godora Civilization, I've also worked with them a few times and maintain a good relationship. I can even talk to their upper echelons directly. Can you do that? "
The faces of the leaders of the Six Nations were as black as the bottom of a pot. This was the truth, and it had always been a pain in their hearts. How could they be willing to not have the right to speak? However, the difference in the strength of their civilizations made them have no choice but to lower their heads.
They did not know about Black Star's deeds in the galaxy, but if what Han Xiao said was true, then the strength of Black Star seemed to be much more powerful than they had imagined.
Han Xiao knocked on the table and said, "Let's say that Godora helped you solve the Mutation Disaster and left in a spaceship, leaving behind a devastated land. You would still be a low-level native civilization of Blue Star, and nothing would have changed. How could you expect Godora to bring you into the galaxy? Even if you use your butt to think, you would know that it's impossible. "
The expressions of the leaders of the Six Nations changed, and they all knew that what Han Xiao said was the truth. Godora would help them, but it would definitely not help them develop. They were very clear about this logic. Although Godora had given them the galactic communicator, it had turned off ninety-nine percent of its functions, and they could only contact Godora in one direction to prevent them from understanding the galaxy.
Even if the Mutation Disaster was solved, they would have to clean up the mess themselves. Not only would they not improve, but their fragile civilization might even regress.
Han Xiao did not stop and continued. "If you want to talk to each other as equals, you have to at least jump out of the native level and step into the galaxy. However, your technological standard is at least a few hundred years away from becoming a member of the galaxy. Do you want to place your hopes on the illusory technological explosion that will only happen at some unknown time? Are you willing? "
"What do you mean?" the Stardragon leader asked with a deep voice.
"Do you still not understand? I'm the only one you can count on! " Han Xiao slammed the table and roared, "I'm your only choice. Only I, the only Blue Star in the universe, am willing to help you develop!"
The leaders of the Six Nations widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Y-you mean …"
"Accept reality. What I'm talking to you about is not just disaster relief but the future!"
Han Xiao placed his hands behind his back and exuded a domineering aura from head to toe.
In his previous life, although the players had worked together to complete the Mutation Disaster Main Storyline Mission, it had dragged on for too long. By the time Godora solved the Mutation Disaster, the Six Nations had already collapsed, and their civilization was only left with dim embers. The people who had lost their homes were struggling on the ground.
Because they had discovered the unique potential of the players during the process of fighting the disaster, Godora had set up a base in the almost ruined Blue Star to receive an endless stream of Inhumans (new players).
Han Xiao was inclined to protect the Six Nations. No matter what, with a mature regime in charge, it would be easier to organize any operations. Blue Star was a novice planet, and if they could set up a base there, they would be able to continuously recruit players.
These words caused a huge commotion in the hearts of the leaders of the Six Nations. All of them fell silent and quickly considered the pros and cons.
Han Xiao's words moved them. While Godora was powerful, they were still aliens. They were not of the same race, and their hearts would definitely be different.
Black Star, who was born in Blue Star, was truly one of their own!
No matter how much they did not want to admit it, their rationality told them that this might be the only chance to change the fate of their civilization.
"… What do you want?" the leader of Raylan asked with difficulty.
"I've already said it very clearly. You know what I want. Even if you don't give it to me, I can take it myself."
"You're too ambitious …"
"Believe me, the universe is vast, and it's worth this little sacrifice. You will never regret buying this ticket. You will only regret missing this opportunity."
Zi!
The screen suddenly turned black, and the video went offline.
Bennett was still immersed in the shock and could not help but ask, "They rejected it?"
"No."
Han Xiao's lips curled up. "They're discussing it."
Bennett stared at Han Xiao with a complicated expression. "You've changed."
"I've never changed." Han Xiao shrugged and said casually, "It's just that no one can understand every side of a person."
Bennett did not say anything else. His heart was in a mess. Black Star wanted to become the ruler of this planet! Could it be that his motive for returning was not only to save people but also to rule this planet?
He did not know if Han Xiao was doing the right thing. History had proven countless times what would happen when power was concentrated in one person. He had seen too many tragic endings of ambitious people. Inflated desire was always the source of tragedy. One had to know that when you stared into the abyss, the abyss would also ask you what you were looking at.
Time was stretched out like a spider's web. After waiting in silence for ten minutes, the screen finally lit up again.
The leaders of the Six Nations appeared and stared at Han Xiao with complicated expressions.
"As long as you keep your promise, we're willing to fulfill all your requests. We'll also use all our forces to listen to your orders.
Your conditions … we accept! "
The Six Nations did not have much choice. As long as one government chose to accept, the others would fall behind. Stardragon was the first to compromise. After some discussion, the other five nations agreed one after another. Black Star was already at the level of the universe, so it was not shameful to compromise with him.
One side was unreachable and treated them like dogs. The other side was their own kind and promised to help them. Since they had to rely on the latter, they might as well rely on the latter's thigh.
They did not ask what Han Xiao could give them because they knew very well that they did not have the qualifications to ask. This was not a fair deal, and they had no bargaining chips. Just as Black Star said, even if they did not give, he could take it himself!
This was a one-sided charity!
Han Xiao was secretly relieved and very happy. He maintained a calm expression and said with a smile, "My people will take a spaceship to your country as soon as possible and help you restore order in your country."
The leaders of the Six Nations nodded.
"Since we've reached a consensus, tell me a small piece of information first."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Where is Bell of Death Island?"
