From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 226 Black Material
Amber's question rendered the senior prisoners present speechless.

Because Amber didn't say anything wrong, if either of them really came to this asteroid belt with the intention of negotiating.

The two sides would not have fought, the situation would not have evolved to this point, and they would not have been ambushed by Atlas.

So when Amber finished saying this, the solitary room fell into silence.

Although a reckless man like Antonio is still a little reluctant, he still wants to face it.

So it’s hard to say anything at this moment.

But Amber had no intention of letting these prisoners go easily, and sarcastic words sounded again in the confinement room.

"What? You became mute when I asked you questions? Weren't all of you quite eloquent before I came here?"

Amber's eyes swept over them one by one.

The coercion of the psykers he had unleashed now had completely suppressed these captives.

Every move he made, the calm and elegant temperament of the Star Dragon Empire nobles seemed to return to him.

"I only have these two clothes on me. How long do you plan to put them in order?"

Soon, Ryan Timler finished his remarks.

"Yes, we can talk about redemption next."

It's like watching a clown.

Isabel and the Roma Marines in the room began the difficult journey of suppressing laughter.

Ryan Timler was not affected by Amber's words and still maintained his so-called grace and aristocratic temperament.

Amber had a smile on her face and glanced at Ryan Timler who was sitting on the chair.

"Am I a noble of the Star Dragon Empire?"

He looked at Amber arrogantly, cleared his throat and continued:
“This battle is indeed a defeat for our side. Since you did not kill me but brought me to this ship, I will regard you as having accepted my surrender.

Are you the only one who is still a serious company? Don’t like fighting and killing?

Although in Amber's opinion, this so-called 'aristocratic temperament' is purely about being particular.

"Then it's over~" Amber spread her hands and continued:
"I'm not a noble, so what's the use of talking about the Basic Law of Nobility for a long time? You so-called nobles are really getting older and better. You are all pedantic in the extreme."

"Finished?"

The expressions on the faces of Ron Schneider, commander of the Timler family fleet, and Paul and other prisoners from the Timler family were not unusual.

"Very good, it seems we can talk about business now."

"Huh, vulgar guy, it turns out that only people like you can make such a cheap sneak attack on the battlefield."

He raised his hand to straighten his collar and the family crest on his chest.

He let out a long breath, then picked up the cup attached to the table and drank some drinking water to moisten his dry throat.

According to the requirements of the Basic Law, you must protect our life safety, provide basic-level soldiers with food and accommodation that meet humanitarian standards, and provide officers and above with food and accommodation that are consistent with their positions and status."

Not to mention the tortuous rules among the imperial nobles.

Upon hearing this, Antonio, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly showed a look of contempt.

"I heard that someone just requested to negotiate with me, was it you? This gentleman claimed to be the head of the Timler family."

Amber would never give face to those who didn't deal with her or even tried to do something against her.

According to the description of battles and captures in the 12th Amendment to the Basic Law of the Star Dragon Empire Nobles, now I and other members of the family fleet have become your prisoners, that is, the collateral for the Timler family's ransom. '.

In his view, after talking about the prerequisites, the next step is to negotiate with the other party on the issue of paying the ransom.

In this situation, no one wants to look up at each other.

But no matter what, after this round of intimidation, they all became more honest.

While the hot-tempered fleet commander was complaining in his mind, Ryan Timler's voice continued to sound.

"Um, no."

It was as if their head of the family was describing a perfectly normal incident.

Before Ryan Timler finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Amber.

On the other side, Amber, who was leaning against the bulkhead, still looked at Ryan Timler with that harmless smile.

Ryan Timler raised his proud head and explained the relevant contents of the Basic Law clearly and clearly.

The people from Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense opened their mouths unconsciously at Ryan Timler's ups and downs tone.

After hearing Amber's words, Ryan Timler's expression did not change much.

"But you don't need to be nervous. We at Atlas are a serious company. We don't like to engage in such things, and we won't abuse prisoners."

After a long time, Amber finally withdrew the psychic pressure. The prisoners suddenly felt that the pressure was suddenly reduced, and many of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Amber's words directly put Ryan Timler here, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Antonio and fleet deputy commander Raven looked at each other, and both saw looks of shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

As members of the Federation, they actually didn't know much about the Star Dragon Empire.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"It's very simple.
First, transfer the Timler Mining Company to me. The transfer fee is 1 Imperial Gold Dragon to facilitate accounting for both of us.

Second, compensate our company for its economic losses in this battle, with the amount of compensation being 8000 million and 1 Imperial Golden Dragon.

Third, all ships and equipment that survived the battle were handed over to our company as material compensation.

After completing the above three points, I will immediately send people to safely return all the prisoners of the Timler family to your family's fiefdom. "As soon as Amber's request was finished, not only everyone in the Timler family was stunned.

The captives from Mary Bay Industries and Yaoguang Defense were also stunned.

It was not that they had never seen a lion open its mouth wide, but this was the first time they had seen such a wide mouth.

Even Isabel was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she immediately began to wonder whether to remind Amber about the art of negotiation.

The first person to react was the young man named Paul.

After listening to Amber's words, his face turned the color of liver with anger.

"This is impossible! You despicable guy, don't think that our family is easy to bully!"

"Shut up!"

Before Amber could speak, Ryan Timler scolded first:

"Now is not the time for you to speak."

The imperial noble stared at Amber, but he still controlled the expression on his face and hid his anger.

"Sir, it seems that you are not sincere in negotiating."

"I've made it so clear, isn't it sincere enough?"

"But are the conditions you mentioned a bit too deceptive?!"

Ryan Timler's volume increased involuntarily.

Let’s not talk about the first and third points mentioned by Amber for the time being. Let’s just talk about the second point of 8000 million imperial gold dragon compensation.

That's exactly the amount of money the Timlers had available in their account after removing those liquid funds.
If the other person mentioned it casually, Ryan Timler might just be angry.

But if the other party didn't just say it casually, but was really stuck on this amount.
The imperial noble did not dare to think any more.

"It's too much to bully others? If we hadn't been well prepared, I might be the one standing here saying 'it's too much to bully others'.
As I said just now, I will release him immediately after completing these three points.

If you can't finish it, you all can stay here and mine until you die. "

There was no room for compromise in Amber's tone.

His words also made Ryan Timler's face completely cold.

"Sir, I still hope you can make your request carefully. You may not be able to bear the anger of an imperial noble."

"threaten me?"

Amber's 'business smile' disappeared.

He raised his right hand and held it softly. Under the invisible psychic pull, Ryan Timler was directly caught in his hand, and his neck was stuck in the tiger's mouth of Amber's right hand.

It was only then that the captive in this room suddenly realized that the mysterious man in front of him was still a dangerous psychic.

Amber grabbed Ryan Timler's neck and pulled him closer. At the same time, he put his head to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

“Ryan Timler, the third generation head of the Timler family, holds the title of baronet.

Your wife has given birth to two sons for you, the eldest has died in infancy, and the second has quite good qualifications as the heir of the family.

It's a pity that you discovered that he is the illegitimate son of your wife and a secret lover.

And this secret lover is an imperial count that you cannot fight against. "

Amber's whisper made Ryan Timler's eyes widen for a moment, but the former hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Fortunately, you also have an illegitimate son, that young and impulsive Mr. Paul over there~
To outsiders, he is the orphan of one of your late, loyal men.

But in fact, Paul is the product of an affair between you and your subordinate's wife.

Recently you are thinking about how to get rid of your wife and that bastard, and then think of ways to make Mr. Paul your legal heir."

"That's enough. Please don't say any more."

Ryan Timler's tone was no longer arrogant and dissatisfied, only pleading remained.

He didn't know how Amber knew these things. This 'devil' seemed to be following him and witnessing it all.

If Amber had realized the mind-reading ability of high-level psychics at this time, she would definitely cry out for injustice.

He is not a 'devil'. All these black materials come from the secret archives of the Star Dragon Empire's Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ever since the last time Lilith’s clone, LLS943823, packaged and transmitted all the data from the Empire’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In Atlas's database, there is an additional file collection called 'Aristocratic Black Materials'.

Before today's battle, Amber had already found black materials related to the Timler family in this collection.

It can be said that you won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

In a small family where the highest ancestry is a viscount, the internal scandals are much more outrageous than the plots of those TV series.
"Then, may I ask, Lord Baron, have you thought clearly?"

Ryan Timler couldn't help but shudder when Amber's voice sounded in his ears again.

He had lost the courage to look at Amber, lowered his head and nodded.

"Very good. We are strangers to each other. Let me give you a piece of advice. Your own illegitimate son is not a cheap person. If you unfortunately encounter any problems in the future, I am willing to help."

Amber patted Ryan Timler on the shoulder and added the last sentence.

"Of course, it's paid help~"

Amber pushed the already wilted baron back onto the chair, and then looked at the people on the other side of Mary Bay and Yaoguang Defense who had been watching the show.

"This Lord Timler, Baron Timler from the Empire, has agreed to my conditions, then it is your turn~"
