"What's going on? How could someone barge in here? Are all the people outside useless?! "
"Why are there gunshots outside?"
"Katyas, I'm afraid you have to give us an explanation."
Just as the entire conference hall was in chaos, the guests with white handkerchiefs in front of their chests stood up calmly. No matter if they were sitting at the round table in the center of the conference hall, or standing or sitting around, all of them strode towards the direction Katyas had come out from.
The actions of this small group of people immediately attracted the attention of others. But as more and more soldiers followed behind Bassac and gradually formed a semicircle around the entire conference hall, everyone who came to participate in the conference felt that something was wrong with the development of the situation. Then, one by one, they frowned and shut their mouths.
As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. None of the people present did not, otherwise, they would not have the qualifications to sit in this place. These people watched as the people left one by one, and they also realized that they had fallen into a scheme to deceive them from the inside out.
Those who left were not all that selfish. There was one who entered the side room of the conference room alone. Of course, there were also those who were confused and did not have a white handkerchief in front of their chests. Regarding this, Katyas acted as if he did not see it and allowed these people to leave with their friends or business partners. In any case, although there were not many people with white handkerchiefs in front of their chests, they were all people who had decided to join his faction. As for those who were pulled in, Katyas also believed that they would join his faction.
Katyas was still seated at the round table, while the rest of them maintained their composure as they sat there. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that apart from a mere 2-3 of them who carried an indifferent smile on their faces, the rest of them had a faint trace of anger hanging on their faces. Their gazes towards Katyas were as though they could not wait to kill him.
Only when the entire conference hall was completely silent did Katyas chuckle. This soft chuckle was especially piercing to the ears of those who were surrounded, as though it was echoing throughout the conference hall.
"Everyone, please don't worry and don't be anxious. I'm just following your wishes to hold this conference. The purpose of this conference is naturally to divide Mr. Alex's shares in Anaheim, and to officially launch the space warp engine." Katyas stood up unhurriedly, took off the white handkerchief on his chest, folded it and put it into his trouser pocket, and continued, "But I'm not Mr. Alex after all, so I don't have the right to divide Mr. Alex's shares. The technology of the space warp engine is also Mr. Alex's unique invention. If we want to launch it, we must obtain his personal permission. So for this conference, I personally invited Mr. Alex over and let him negotiate with you personally."
After Katyas stood up and followed Katyas into the conference room, a figure who had been standing in the shadows by the door slowly walked out. Perhaps there were people who had not personally met Xiao Ran, but at least most of them had seen Xiao Ran before when they were on Earth. Even if they had not seen him with their own eyes, they would have seen him in all kinds of news before the armistice.
So when Xiao Ran completely walked out of the shadows, many of the people present felt their breathing stagnate for a moment, especially the ten people sitting at the round table. They felt as if their backs were drenched in cold sweat.
Xiao Ran made a great name for himself in the battle with Guyon and became the god of war of the Earth Federation. But at the same time, he was also famous for not reneging on his debt to the Federation, especially when he ordered his subordinates to kill more than a hundred military policemen. It made everyone present understand that Xiao Ran was not a person who followed the rules at all. He was also a cruel person who would kill without saying a word.
Especially now that countless guns were pointed at them, their lives were all in Xiao Ran's hands. These people were also afraid that they would be suddenly killed by the unreasonable Xiao Ran. Falling into Xiao Ran's hands was completely different from falling into Katyas's hands. Especially when Xiao Ran's grave and stern eyes swept across everyone present, it made the hair on their backs stand up and their hearts feel weak.
The situation was stronger than the person, and they had fallen into the hands of others. The key was that although most of them did not directly participate in the operation against Xiao Ran, they at least agreed with the actions of others. Otherwise, they would not have hurried over. This kind of guilty conscience made them feel especially uncomfortable at this moment. It was like catching a thief on the spot. As for shame, it was impossible. It was just a kind of fear that Xiao Ran would settle accounts with them later. After all, those who could live to their current position and come here did not really want to die.
Xiao Ran walked to Katyas's seat and sat down. Katyas directly stood behind Xiao Ran, indicating his identity and position to everyone present. He also announced to everyone present that he was willing to follow Xiao Ran's lead.
Xiao Ran, who sat down, did not open his mouth to speak. He only glanced at the time from time to time. His silence caused the entire conference hall to be silent. Only heavy breathing could be heard from time to time.
Then, a large screen in the conference hall suddenly lit up. It broadcasted the complete annihilation of the Earth Army fleet outside Brown City, the incredible battleships, the densely packed MS that had surrounded the entire Brown City, and the soldiers of the Earth Federation that had completely suppressed the soldiers of the Earth Federation inside Brown City. When they saw this scene flashing by, many people almost stopped breathing.
At this time, Xiao Ran's voice rang out in the huge conference hall, "I heard that some people are very interested in my shares. Some people think that because I've gone missing, without a military position, without a fleet under my command, without the Anaheim Corporation backing me up, I've become an insignificant person. So my things have become yours. Is that so?"
As soon as Xiao Ran's voice fell, the soldiers surrounding these people, under the leadership of Bassac, raised their guns at the same time. The uniform clicking sound made many people sweat, but except for the dozen people sitting at the round table, the people sitting around them did not have the right to speak at all. They wanted to say something, but they dared not. They could only lower their heads and pretend to be cowards, hoping that Xiao Ran would not notice them.
The people on the periphery could do that, but the people sitting at the round table could not. Except for a few people, the rest of the people's faces had completely darkened. They were either embarrassed or regretful.
The moderates were Joss and Bill. Joss had stayed on Earth, so Bill was currently sitting at the round table. After a short while, he laughed and said, "Mr. Arikos, you came back at the right time. I was deeply impressed by your demeanor when I first met you. Today, I see that you are still as elegant as ever. Joss and I, as well as the families, financial groups, and corporate forces behind us, have always been on your side. However, we are too weak to change the situation. Thank you, Mr. Arikos, for coming out again to solve the problem."
Mr. Arikos, please help me out. "Xiao Ran's attitude towards the people in his camp was quite good. He smiled and waved his hand gently," You flatter me. Thank you for your support and help to me and Katyas. Today's matter has also been hard on you. "
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Setting things right is what people like us who seek justice and peace should do. Even without our help, you can still do what you want to do." Bill looked around, smiled, and said, "I think my old friends here may have made the wrong decision in a moment of confusion. After all, not everyone dares to look down on you. Whether it's the shares or the launch of the engine, it should be instigated by a few people. I hope you won't hold a grudge."
"Of course." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I think most people would not be so shameless and like to steal other people's things. Even if some people were instigated, at least until now, they have not really done anything wrong. Naturally, I won't hold a grudge against them."
The two echoed each other, causing many people in the conference hall to raise their eyebrows. A fat man suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "I support Mr. Arikos. I'm here to oppose this meeting, Mr. Arikos!"
"Those who support me are my friends." Xiao Ran clapped his hands gently and nodded to the fat man with satisfaction. "As long as you're my friends, you can go to the tea party I specially prepared for friends to rest, Bassac."
Bassac had an undisguised smile on his face. After laughing, he waved his hand, and a soldier walked to the fat man's side and respectfully asked him to leave. Seeing this scene, a large number of people stood up and swore that they were definitely on Xiao Ran's side. Xiao Ran was amused by this scene, but the faces of some people at the table darkened.
"Quiet." These three simple words once again made the conference hall extremely quiet. He slowly stood up, looked around at everyone, and said in a solemn tone, "As long as you're my friends, you will receive my sincere treatment. Naturally, they will have a share of the benefits of the space engine in the next hundreds of years or even beyond. But if you're my enemies, then I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll never be able to walk out of this place today."
