Chapter 826: Merciless Even When They’re Down

“The fifth person in the first row.”

“Good afternoon Governor. I’m a reporter from Norton Star Commercial Papers, Elosto. May I ask, with regards to the incident of Committee Member Ye of the Solar System, would it affect Solar System’s share of allocated Super Gravity Energy Mineral ore? Would OMG Company’s exclusive operating rights be revoked?”

The questions were direct and were also what other reporters wanted to know the most. It was especially so for OMG Company’s exclusive operating rights. Countless large financial organisations had their eyes on it. However, everyone knew that despite the fact that OMG was small, it had a very good relationship with Tita Star and no one had any solution. The Solar System was courting their own death this time. Would there be changes to the exclusive operating rights? Recently, people who were eager to move had started taking actions. The Solar System was indeed a federation fond of internal conflicts. This “great” quality had been maintained till now.

“At this place, I would like to make it clear again. With regard to the Super Gravity Energy Mineral Ore, it would be divided into two parts. The first part would be the allocated amount for free trade and be based on the Super Gravity Energy Mineral Ore Trading Agreement. This won’t be changed. For the second part, it would be OMG Company’s exclusive operating rights. This is the only channel for Titatitan Star to transfer Super Gravity Energy Mineral Ore to the public. In my own opinion, I really hope to revoke it.”

Instantly, the whole hall burst into a commotion.

Mu Sen smiled and signalled for everyone to be quiet. “When this additional exclusive operating right was given previously, it was a repayment from Tita Star to Committee Member Ye for lending a helping hand when Tita Star was in distress. The people of Tita Star are simple. We would repay favour received many folds over and won’t forget about them. As to the underhanded exchange of benefits that the Solar System Federation has claimed, frankly speaking, we do not know what a Committee Member of Solar System can give to us. If the Solar System is to continue maligning our Tita Star, we would revoke such exclusive operating rights and hold an open bid. This isn’t because the people of Tita Star had forgotten about the favour we received. I hope that everyone can understand.”

With these words said, it was enough. The people of Tita Star had made such an exception for OMG mainly because of telling the humans that the people of Tita pay a lot of attention to those that show them favour or animosity. Before they discussed about business, they would look at relationships first. Even a silly person would know that a single committee member, moreover someone from the Solar System, had a long way to go to be on equal status with Tita Star. What could he give to the people of Tita?

On the contrary, if the same conditions were given to Aslan, Arbiter or any other countries, the rewards one could get back would be in multiples of 10.

Were the committee members in Solar System all so dumb to commit such acts that severed their way of escape? It was clear that today’s press conference was also the last warning made by the people of Tita. It was fine if you all fight amongst yourself but do not involve Tita Star into it.

One should know that if OMG had this exclusive operating right, it would be equivalent to the Solar System having it. If it was cancelled, Solar System could cry all they want.

The news had spread to the Solar System very quickly. Mu Sen’s speech and the details revealed were like a ruthless slap to those emotional and angry citizens that were on steroids. It was also like a pail of cold water that doused them awake.

The people of Tita were only repaying the favour. They weren’t repaying the favour to the Solar System but Ye Bingwen and the truth was that the Solar System had already obtained benefits due to its position.

Moreover, as compared to Aslan, Arbiter and the other strong countries, what would Tita Star possibly see in a Committee Member of the Solar System?

It was simply a joke. Others just attached importance to relationship. The people in that place were just scheming and shouldn’t be that dumb.

In the Solar System, the views were split to two extremes.

However, Liang Yindao clearly wouldn’t let this incident change this direction.

On the same night, Liang Yindao had raised his doubts in a few political talk shows and he was rather sharp.

“Even if all these were the truth, there are other questions. I would like to raise a doubt. Is Ye Bingwen still qualified to be a Committee Member of the Solar System? With such great interests on Tita Star, could he still be impartial when speaking for the Solar System and not be inclined to the powers of other countries? Currently most of Mr Ye Bingwen’s assets are residing on Tita Star. Other than the fact that his nationality is still under the Solar System, isn’t he the same as the people of Tita?”

Liang Yindao maintained an expression that was full of justice and was able to influence a portion of the people. One had to admit that although he was bending the facts, he had found a point to attack. That was even if Ye Bingwen was not guilty, he wouldn’t be suitable to be a committee member.

The Chronos Family and related interests clearly wouldn’t give Ye Bingwen a chance for revival. With the control of this huge hand, a few people from Earth under Ye Bingwen’s project to help the poor, who had gone to Tita Star, had appeared on some of these shows.

“They didn’t see us as humans and treated us as tools. We were working endlessly regardless of day or night…”

“I told them I wanted to return to Earth and they threatened me. They said they wanted to… I don’t dare to elaborate…”

In the talk show, these few people had described their trips to Titatitan Star as a trip to hell. It was a plot! Their lives were squeezed by the OMG Company.

“I do not dare to say that everyone who had accepted Ye Bingwen’s plan had the same results. There are also many people who had become successful with their own hard work. However, since there are unfavourable situations, would it mean that there were more insider information that others did not know about. Obviously this is only my conjecture. However, aren’t these 10 pitiful people, who have barely managed to escape back to Earth, back to their homes, evidence enough?”

Liang Yindao said loudly. It felt very much like he would not stop until Ye Bingwen was dead.

The public consensus eventually still shifted towards the side who could speak better.

“The results of public opinions are out… The situation isn’t optimistic. Obviously, it wouldn’t be easily to convict him even if they wished to. The best result… Ye Bingwen has to take the blame and resign from the position of Committee Member. Our OMG’s image will be badly damaged and the future is bleak.”

The analyst of OMG had quickly done a research report.

Ye Zisu nodded her head. As compared to the accusation of treason previously, these were just small matters. However under multiple attacks, they have finally relented. No matter what, it was more important for her father to return safely. In the worst case, OMG could shift its core to Titatitan Star!

It was just that this result would be too cowardly as they had been chased out of the home. The feeling of being chased off from their mother planet would be like having ten thousands needles poking on one’s chest.

Yan Xiaosu spat and said, “D*mn, if that’s the case, we might as well go our own ways. If they want the Super Energy Gravity Mineral in the future? You better be ready to address us as ancestors a hundred times before we start discussing.”

Although it wasn’t easy to reach this step, the fire was too big. This darned Liang Yindao was simply fabricating things. However the good news was that Ye Bingwen would be released. Everything could be planned after he was released.

Investigation department…

The investigation on Ye Bingwen had ended. Due to the words of Mu Sen, and the attention and pressure from all around Milky Way Alliance caused by it, a fair judgement was given in the end. Ye Bingwen did not commit any treasonous acts and could be released.

Before he slept, he even watched the TV. It happened to that show that the scumbag Liang Yindao attended. Those lazy people that were fired by the company were also around. They were full of defamatory words but Ye Bingwen just laughed it off. He didn’t care about it anymore. All these were pointless accusations and were made mostly to scrap some compensation from OMG.

It was just that he felt a lot of injustice in his heart.

At the minimum, one would like to return to where they were born when they die. The Solar System, Earth, was his home. He had also been working hard and fighting for it.

He was born in this place and had grown up in this place. Falling in love, marrying his wife, forming a family, having a daughter and establishing his career had all happened in this place.

A blow?

The truth was Ye Bingwen had made mental preparations for this. When he decided to take this path, he had expected this day to come. If he couldn’t withstand it, he wouldn’t have chosen to take this path. The truth was he also did not look back. This was because if he couldn’t hold on, OMG’s development would then stopped and all the efforts of Zisu would have been in vain.

“Everything’s alright now. Let’s go home! Your father will make you dinner! You must be tired for this period.”

Ye Zisu was crying profusely. She couldn’t hold back anymore. Holding her father in embrace, all she could feel was sadness. “Dad…”

“Silly brat, we should be happy. This is nothing. The battle has just begun!”

When he saw Zisu, Ye Bingwen’s ambitions were ignited. He could endure bullying but her daughter could not. Since the other party wanted to play, he would risk his life against them!

Ye Bingwen didn’t have the chance to make a counter move and things had changed.

The Hail Cloud Alliance had issued a government letter in response to Ye Bingwen’s invitation for economic and political collaboration sent three months ago. After discussion in the Hail Cloud Alliance parliament, they had decided to send three committee members, Toronto, Yacob, Samaria, to head to Earth for the relevant observation.

Suddenly, the Solar System Federation Committee, which had taken a united view, had exploded!

In the Milky Way Galaxy, the first step for Solar System Federation to becoming a huge nation would be to enter into a strategic political collaboration with another strong country. Up till this stage, they had talked to many countries. However, others wouldn’t even pay much attention to Solar System. They weren’t silly. The Solar System wasn’t able to provide them with many benefits and yet they wanted to use them as a stepping stone to becoming stronger.

Yet at this moment, Hail Cloud Alliance had suddenly issued an intention for observation!

Even if it was just an intention, it had also touched on the area where the different management levels of the Solar System most desired. As long as the discussion had started, it would be a good thing. Even if they were to fail in the end, it would be alright. This in itself had sufficient influence in the Milky Way Alliance. The voice of Solar System in the Milky Way Alliance would also become louder.

However, the proposal invitation that Hail Cloud Alliance had mentioned about was Ye Bingwen’s! What should they do? Ye Bingwen was just toppled!

The Chronos Family obviously objected. However the thing about politics was that there was never an overwhelming inclination. Although the Chronos Family was strong, it wasn’t the master of the Solar System.

The Moon, Jupiter and Saturn had voiced out their views. Ye Bingwen’s incident previously had not much impact on their benefits. Moreover, they were also jealous of the sudden and rapid rise of OMG and therefore had kept silent and allowed the Chronos Family to do what they wanted. This was an exchange under unspoken rules. If they had any actions next time, the Chronos Family’s political powers would naturally know to maintain silence.

However with the incidence with Hail Cloud Alliance, things were different. This involved huge interests for the entire Solar System. In comparison, the Ye Bingwen matter was nothing.

Among them, the response from the Moon was the greatest. The Heavenly King Family suddenly exerted their dominance. Although Wang Zheng did not say anything, Achilles still made his move. This was Achilles’ gift. All along, Achilles believed that the competition of the new generation should depend on one’s own strength. He didn’t wish to involve others. However, some people did not follow the rules. There’s no harm for him to educate the other party. The truth was Achilles also wanted to vent some frustration.

The opportunity now was just right!
