The seven people present were not ordinary people. The other five were the leaders of the five most powerful countries on earth, needless to say. Xu Xin was Luo Feng's wife, and she often used the virtual universe network and knew a lot about the universe. Luo Hua had been paralyzed for more than ten years, and he liked "financial stock speculation" which was very challenging. When he encountered such a thing, he was naturally very calm.

"Excuse me, who are you?" The President of the United States asked the first question among the five leaders.

"I am just the captain of a very ordinary adventure team in the universe." Tuo Leiwu smiled and spoke the universal language of the universe, "I want to ask you, when your Earth was attacked by the Devouring Beast... you all won't forget it, right?"

All seven of them nodded slightly.

"Very good, very cooperative."

Tuo Leiwu nodded, "Where is the corpse of the Devouring Beast?"

A trace of doubt flashed across the eyes of the seven people present. Seeing this, Tuo Leiwu frowned and said, "Rong Zhi, you go and hypnotize them to ask questions. Remember, especially the woman and the young man, don't hurt their brain memories. I will also need them to contact the Earth Lord 'Luo Feng' later."

"Don't worry." Another captain smiled.

The invisible telekinesis quickly penetrated everyone's sea of ​​consciousness, and then began to ask...

"What's going on? No one knows?"

"Luo Feng's wife doesn't know either!"

Tuo Leiwu and other four captains all changed their expressions. They were on Earth, and their goal was to find the corpse of the Devouring Beast!

"Wake up!" Rong Zhi shouted in a low voice.

The seven people all woke up, looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly.

"Mrs. Luo, I want you to enter the virtual universe network immediately. I will accompany you." Tuo Leiwu said in a low voice, "If you don't agree, you should know that many people will die. I believe that you will agree to it..."

Xu Xin took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

No choice!
Faced with this space adventure team that could capture the leaders of the five major powers at a glance, Xu Xin had no ability to resist.

Hargrave took a deep breath, stood up, and left the meeting room with Gutman and went to the corridor outside.

hum!
The white silent barrier opened, hiding the figures of Hargrave and Gutman.

"Gutman, what do you think?" Hargrave spoke slowly, his expression more solemn than ever before, even more solemn than when he had faced two realm master-level warriors alone on the battlefield not long ago.

Gutman sighed and said, "I see it the same way you see it. The Starry Sky Office, I don't know where this Starry Sky Office came from. Could it be from the power of Qianwu Universe?"

Hargrave shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Before coming here, you should have investigated the Star Office. They are an arms company that was recently established in our Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

“And they sell two-dimensional foil.”

"Even in the Qianwu Universe, this is an unheard-of wonder!"

Guttman nodded slowly.

Not only is bi-directional foil incredibly powerful, it's also cheap and could potentially be mass-produced.

Even in the Qianwu Universe, no one has ever heard of such a thing.

Even ordinary people can kill realm master-level strongmen in large numbers as long as they press the release button.

If Qianwu Universe had this kind of weapon, it would have long been famous throughout the universe. Not only would humans be chasing after it, but other races would also come here to purchase it in large quantities.

"We may have been inadvertently caught up in an unimaginable vortex," Gutman said with a serious expression.

"Yes!" Hargrave agreed.

He paused for a moment and got to the point of the conversation: "I think we should just pretend we have never been here, spend 40 trillion to buy a piece of two-dimensional foil and report it back, and no one will buy two-dimensional foil again in the future, how about that?"

"Just consider it as protection money."

Hargrave showed a humiliated expression.

As a member of the royal family of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and a powerful world master, he owns hundreds of life planets and his status is extremely honorable.

However, he had to compromise today to prevent the Black Dragon Mountain Empire from sliding into the bottomless pit of war.

"That's fine with me." Gutman said with a depressed look, "Forty trillion cosmic coins, just consider it as protection money, and we'll just pretend we don't know about the existence of the Star Office."

Forty trillion universe coins!

It is equivalent to the total assets of four ordinary realm masters. Even if he came here on behalf of the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire and used public funds, he could hardly bear such a huge loss.

My heart is bleeding!
However, the Erxiang Foil has an almost unstoppable killing effect on Realm Master-level powerhouses, and can also destroy key buildings.

If it is used to assassinate the enemy's genius realm master, such as those super geniuses who are expected to become immortal, or to destroy certain military strongholds.
Maybe you can even make some money!
Thinking of this, the depression on Gutman's face subsided a little, and his expression was not as ugly as at the beginning.

"That's settled then." Hargrave paused, "But there's one more thing. How can we be sure that the other party didn't secretly come to the Star Office to buy the two-dimensional foil at a low price?"

Guttman was slightly startled.

"I guarantee on my personal reputation and the credibility of the royal family of the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire that as long as you don't come to the Starry Sky Office to buy the two-dimensional foil, we will never come." He said firmly.

Hargrave nodded and said calmly, "Then I will guarantee with my personal reputation and the reputation of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire that as long as you don't come to the Starry Sky Office to buy the two-dimensional foil, we won't come either."

Guttman:
Personal reputation and royal credibility may be very convincing in ordinary times.

But what does it matter when the country is in danger?
Not even a damn!

What should be done? Guttman's eyebrows gradually twisted together.

Hargrave would not believe anything he said, and likewise, Hargrave would not easily believe him.

In fact, even he himself was not sure whether the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire behind him would recognize what he promised to Hargrave here.

This is a crisis of trust.

This crisis may directly lead the two empires into a two-way arms race and gradually become the fuse for a war of annihilation.

"What do you think we should do?" Guttman frowned.

Hargrave was silent.

He didn't have a clue either.

At this time, Gutman said, "There is another question. We don't know yet whether the Star Office only sold the two-dimensional foil to us or whether it had already sold it to other countries around us before."

Hargrave felt a chill in his heart.

He had thought about this question just now, but he didn't dare to think about it too deeply.

Imagine if the Star Office had already sold the two-dimensional foil to other surrounding countries, or had plans to sell the two-dimensional foil to other surrounding countries.

Even if he and Guttman reached a gentleman's agreement here and promised not to buy two-dimensional foil, what would be the result?
It's like tying your own hands and feet!
When others have large quantities of cheaply purchased two-dimensional foil, they do not, which is tantamount to self-destruction!

Disaster!Disaster!Disaster!
Hargrave and Gutman both fell silent, unable to speak for a moment.

This is how to do?
"I have to contact the Empire. I can't make the decision on this matter alone." Hargrave looked dejected, and his voice sounded somewhat unwilling, but also somewhat relieved.

On the one hand, as a powerful world master, his words were the final word in the country. The reason why he was sent by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire as a representative to the Star Office to purchase the two-dimensional foil was precisely because of this.

But now, he had to admit that his ability was limited and he could not make such an important decision. He could only ask for help from the empire and pass the buck to the entire top leadership of the empire.

But on the other hand, he no longer has to use his brain.

This matter will be decided by all the top leaders of the empire, and he only needs to implement the final decision here.

"Me too. I can't make the decision anymore. I need to contact the empire." Gutman said in a deep voice.

He thought to himself, if he had known it was such a hot potato, he would not have rushed here, and he would not have brought Rakshasa Mountain with him.

There is fierce competition for the imperial throne.

Luoshashan took on such an important task but failed to achieve any results. He will definitely be ridiculed when he returns, which will bring considerable obstacles to Luoshashan's succession to the throne.

Gutman's eyes turned gloomy.
Hargrave closed the silent barrier and returned to the conference room with Gutman.

"Dear Representative Luo Feng, the two of us cannot make such an important decision. We ask you to let us return to the spaceship and use the communication equipment on the spaceship to discuss with our empire."

Hargrave lowered his posture very low, and his words were full of pleading.

Luo Feng nodded slightly: "Okay."

He wasn't worried that Hargrave might stop buying the two-dimensional foil after consulting with Guttman.

Because this is impossible.

If they don't buy the two-dimensional foil, the Star Office will not make any money, and the Star Office can dump the two-dimensional foil to one of the countries at a very low price.

It would be easy to break their fragile pact.

In this unequal transaction, the two empires have no dominant power at all, and all dominant power is in the hands of the Star Office.

Even the price of the two-dimensional foil had to be raised by the two empires begging the Starry Sky Office to give the nod.

The understanding stopped temporarily.

Hargrave, with the Ninth Princess Broline, and Gutman, with the First Prince Luoshashan, hurriedly left the conference room, walked along the corridor to the spacecraft landing platform, and boarded the small spacecraft provided by the Star Office and returned to their respective warships.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and neither side said another word.

After returning to the battleship, Brolin finally couldn't help herself. She asked Hargrave in a sweet voice, "Grandpa, what's going on? Why don't you buy 5 trillion pieces of two-dimensional foil? Why does the price increase to 40 trillion?"

"In that case, even if we use all the power of the empire, we probably won't be able to buy a few pieces, right?"

Brolin's eyes were filled with confusion.

With her experience, she couldn't see the danger in this transaction.

Hargrave sighed and said, "Brolin, you are still young, it is normal that you cannot understand the cause and effect of things, but if you want to inherit the throne, you must open your mind and look at the long-term."

"You must see both the entire empire and the future of the empire!"

Broline nodded, not quite understanding.

She still didn't understand what Hargrave meant, but it sounded like there was something else going on.

"The net worth of a Realm Lord is about 10 trillion Universe Coins. If a piece of Two-Dimensional Foil only sells for 5 trillion Universe Coins, in order to defeat the other side, we and the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire will both purchase a large amount of Two-Dimensional Foil."

"By then, all Realm Master-level experts will be in danger."

Hargrave's face became uglier as he spoke.

"Not only that, in some large battlefields, just one two-way foil can clear the field and deal a huge blow to the enemy's manpower!"

"Like you, Broline."

"The enemy has learned about you and fired two-dimensional foil at you. You will have no power to resist and will die on the spot!"

Broline was stunned.

"The death of a large number of strong men and geniuses will bring about the twilight of the entire empire."

"We are as powerful as the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire."

"Even if we are lucky enough to defeat the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire in the end, how much strength can we retain?"

"It's just making wedding clothes for others."

"Do you understand now?"

Hargrave looked Broline straight in the eyes.

Brolin nodded and said uncertainly, "The reason why we are raising the price of the two-dimensional foil is because it is too cheap and will pose an inestimable threat to the empire?"

Hargrave showed a teachable expression and said with satisfaction, "That's it."

Brolin's eyes lit up, she showed an expression of disbelief, and said loudly: "I understand, the price of the two-dimensional foil is too low. For the two empires, it is not a magic weapon to win, but a death warrant!"

Hargrave nodded.

Brolin's voice trembled as she continued, "Only by raising the price of two-dimensional foil to the point where neither of the two empires can afford it can we prevent the current situation from getting worse."

Oh my god! How could this happen?
She still remembered that the purpose of coming to the Starry Sky Office this time was to purchase more two-dimensional foil to suppress the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire.

But in confusion, the two empires dared not buy it!
No one dares to take the lead!
No one wants to step onto a super battlefield that spans countless time with an uncertain future!
The Starry Sky Office grasped the mentality of the two empires and proposed a price increase through the mouths of the representatives of the two empires.

One piece of two-dimensional foil, 40 trillion cosmic coins!

After the price of the two-dimensional foil reached such a sky-high level, even if the two empires gritted their teeth and bought a few each, it would not cause irreversible impact on the overall situation.

"That's terrible!" Brolin's face turned pale. "We shouldn't have come here. Using 40 trillion to buy the two-dimensional foil is like paying them protection money!"

Broline felt extremely humiliated.

but
This seems to be the best outcome.

They must come. If they don't come, the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire will buy a large amount of two-dimensional foil at the price of 5 trillion cosmic coins today.

That will be a catastrophe for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!
If forty trillion cosmic coins can be used to prevent the spread of the two-dimensional foil in the two empires, this is actually a very cost-effective deal.

It's just hard to accept psychologically.

"Brolin, this is how the universe works."

"The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. Right now, the Star Office is the strong one. They are using the two-dimensional foil as an excuse to carry out invisible robbery against us."

"Even if the empire has many powerful Realm Lords, it is powerless at this moment!" (End of this chapter)
