Chapter 1467 Negotiations break down (Tofu pudding must be eaten salty!)

Duanmu Huai wanted to visit that extraterritorial galaxy, but unfortunately, the subsequent negotiations did not go so smoothly.

Zhen Jiling had another round of negotiations with the other party. According to Duanmu Huai, the trial court had two conditions.

First, all abominable intelligences known as omnics are not allowed to enter the star region where the Inquisition is located, and will be immediately executed if discovered.

Second, the Inquisition can act as a matchmaker for the Interstellar Peace Company and introduce them to cooperation with other forces, but in return, one-tenth of the trade between the Interstellar Peace Company and these forces must be handed over to the Inquisition.

After all, the only things you can't live up to are death and taxes.

Interstellar Peace Company quickly responded to these two conditions.

They can consider the first condition at their discretion, but the second one... is impossible!

  In the eyes of the Interstellar Peace Company, the Inquisition was just a matchmaking service, so it was not unreasonable to ask for a commission. But if you want a cut of every trade, that's another matter. And the Inquisition is not a political institution that rules these star systems, so why should we give it so much profit?

This makes no sense at all!

However, Duanmu Huai said that the court is not here to reason with you, either give it or get out!

If it was the Dardanelles Trade Alliance, they might bargain with the other party, after all, that is the nature of businessmen. However, the Inquisition is not a commercial organization, not to mention that the Interstellar Peace Corporation is essentially a religious institution, and Duanmu Huai is also the God of Destruction. If other gods want to interfere in their territory, it’s good enough that they don’t fight them directly. Why don’t you pay them some protection fees?

What? You think you're awesome?

  Do you want me to loosen up your muscles and see which one is stronger, destruction or preservation? !

"…The above is the reply from His Excellency the Grand Inquisitor."

Sitting across the table, Zhen Jiling looked at the man in front of her with a smile on her face. The latter had a serious expression and said nothing.

"We are already very clear that the Interstellar Peace Company is essentially a religious organization that believes in Star God, and your trade expansion has a missionary color. The attitude of the Grand Inquisitor is very clear. If it is just an ordinary business trade behavior, then the Inquisition will not interfere. But when it comes to missionary and faith, it is another matter. There is no room for negotiation on this condition. You can either choose to accept it or choose to leave."

"I'm so sorry you would think that, Miss Smart."

The man sighed silently.

"I thought we could come to an agreement that would be good for both sides."

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Please go, and please ask him to convey the message to the Grand Inquisitor - the will of the Protector cannot be changed. As the market development department of the Interstellar Peace Company, we will not give up our duties because of the obstruction of the Inquisition."

"That's really... a pity."

Soon, Duanmu Huai got the final result of the negotiations from Zhen Jiling.

"I'm so sorry, big brother, Kallen was unable to complete the mission."

"It's okay. I had expected this to happen, but it's a little surprising that the other party didn't even give you face."

After all, Zhen Jiling has [Superior Charm], and Duanmu Huai's character in the game also has this ability, so he knows very well how useful this ability is, and if used well, he can even make the mouth-cannon BOSS turn against him or commit suicide in the final battle.

"The protective power of these people's faith seems to be very effective. At least Karen feels that Karen's cuteness has not affected the progress of the negotiations at all..."

"That's it, then. If you don't accept my offer, then you'll have to pay me back. Do you really think I dare not touch him? Humph, it's great to have a god protecting you, right? Then I'll see how long this Amber King can protect them!"

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly and connected to Aikote.

"Send the Third Assault Fleet to wipe out these bastards. Let them know that the will of the Inquisition cannot be resisted! They must understand that this is not a deal, but an order!"

At the same time Duanmu Huai gave the order, in the deep space of the universe, a fleet was moving forward like a school of fish. On the bridge of its main ship, the man who had negotiated with Zhen Jiling before was standing there respectfully, looking at the figure on the screen in front of him.

"Master Supervisor, I'm sorry, but the Inquisition has no intention of backing down."

"So, the negotiations failed?"

"Yes………"

The man lowered his head, not daring to meet the cold and fanatical gaze on the screen. After all, that was the head of the market development department and his immediate superior.

"But... is this really a good idea? In my opinion, in order to successfully develop the market here, we should indeed make some trade-offs..."

“That depends on the person.”

The voice coming from the screen was cold and indifferent.

"According to the information you submitted, the Inquisition is not the ruler of this star field, and its appetite is a bit too big. Perhaps it does not understand what a huge existence the Interstellar Peace Company is. In order to complete the mission, we must do everything. Rather than letting these bugs crawl on us and suck our blood, this star field must be incorporated into the Interstellar Peace Company, and this is the mission of our Market Development Department."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the man seemed to be inspired, straightened his chest and answered loudly. At the same time, the image on the screen disappeared. "What should we do next, sir?"

The adjutant next to him looked at the man and asked.

"Bypassing the Tribunal and directly contacting local forces, our mission remains the same as always. In order to protect the great mission, this is the task of our Market Development Department. If the other party is willing to agree to our conditions, then there is no problem. If the other party is not willing... follow the procedure."

"clear."

"drop---!"

However, just as the man finished speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded on the bridge.

"An unknown fleet has been spotted, and is approaching!"

"Unidentified fleet?"

Hearing the report from his subordinates, the man was stunned, but before he could speak again, everyone saw a flash of light before their eyes, and then several giant warships seemed to emerge from the void, blocking their way. The design of these warships was extremely exquisite and gorgeous. Under the shining of the stars, the steeple churches reflected the shining brilliance. On both sides of the warships, the huge, black muzzles were aimed at the corporate fleet of the Interstellar Peace Company in front.

The man had seen this unique style of warship before, because the one that Zhen Jiling, who had negotiated with him before, was riding was of a similar style.

"It's the Inquisition..."

Looking at the fleet in front of him, the man's face was gloomy. Although the firepower of the Interstellar Peace Company's Enterprise Ships was extremely powerful, it was obvious that the Inquisition warships on the opposite side were equally powerful. Even in terms of size alone, many of the warships were far larger and more threatening than the Interstellar Peace Company's Enterprise Ships.

"Report, a communication request has come from the other side!"

"Connect."

"Yes."

Soon, the screen flashed, and then Zhen Jiling appeared in front of the man again.

"I'm sorry, everyone in the Interstellar Peace Corporation's Marketing Department."

Zhen Jiling's voice is still as cute and lively as ever, but it is totally incompatible with the current atmosphere.

"Since the negotiations have broken down, the Grand Inquisitor has issued an order requiring you to leave this star region immediately, otherwise we will use force to expel you."

"………………Do you think you can intimidate the Interstellar Peace Company like this?"

"The Inquisition never threatens anyone. The Grand Inquisitor makes a decision and then executes it... That's it. This is not a threat, but a warning."

"But the Inquisition is not the ruler of this star region! You have no authority to do this!"

"You have one minute."

Zhen Jiling did not answer the man's meaning, but just made a gesture, and then the countdown began. The man clenched his fists and stared solemnly at the front of him. There, those huge warships were like deep-sea whales, blocking his way motionlessly. Their black muzzles were pointed straight at the corporate fleet of the Interstellar Peace Company, as ruthless as the executioner waiting for the third quarter of noon.

Time passed by, the man stared at Zhen Jiling, and at this moment, a message suddenly came. Seeing the internal message, the man was stunned for a moment, then he looked up with a pale face and looked at Zhen Jiling.

"No, I refuse! We will definitely bring everything here under the management of the Interstellar Peace Company! This is the mission of the Market Development Department. Everything is dedicated to the Amber King!"

At this moment, the fire shone.

Without a signal to start fighting, the macro cannon that had been ready for action for a long time burst into a blazing glow, and the huge shells spun and whizzed towards the enemy in front of them.

The battle then began.

Being able to expand territory in the wild universe, the Interstellar Peace Company is naturally not a good person, and their corporate fleet can be regarded as a powerful existence. In fact, since the establishment of the Interstellar Peace Company, the market development department has always been smooth sailing, and no force can stop the Interstellar Peace Company. The trade system built by the Interstellar Peace Company has therefore become the most powerful and most desirable in the extraterritorial galaxy.

However, this does not mean that the Interstellar Peace Company is truly peaceful.

During their development process, there were also forces that resisted or even refused to be absorbed into the Interstellar Peace Company's system.

When faced with these forces, the Interstellar Peace Corporation revealed its not-so-peaceful side.

And these warships are prepared for this purpose.

In the eyes of the Interstellar Peace Company, the Inquisition is just like any other force, a small pebble that the Interstellar Peace Company encountered on its way to expanding its market.

But now, the Inquisition will make them understand that what lies before them is not a small stone, but a mountain that can never be crossed!
