From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 412 Taking advantage of the situation
"Is this the end? Are there any casualties among our people?"

"Osana's driver was killed in the attack. In addition, several others were slightly injured in the subsequent battle, but they are all fine."

"Tsk, there are casualties because of this kind of thing." Amber's expression became a little unfriendly. After all, if it weren't for certain people making trouble behind the scenes, what happened today would never have happened.

"What about the attackers? And what about the Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government? How do they react?"

"After being suppressed by the security forces, the attackers immediately gave up resistance and surrendered on the spot. The city defense forces quickly took these people away after arriving, and issued an investigation report three hours after the incident."

"Wow, the efficiency has suddenly increased at this time?"

Isabel projected a document sent back by Osana onto the screen. It was a so-called "investigation report" issued by the Investigation Department of the Rubion No. 5 City Defense Force, and the report was written only two hours ago.

"The group, which is composed of unemployed people, dismissed military and police officers, vagrants, and dissatisfied personnel within the military, carried out this attack because of their dissatisfaction with the Atlas Group.
All the equipment belonged to dissatisfied personnel within the military, who hid in the city under the pretext of equipment transportation, maintenance, and transfer.
Hahahaha, it's a pity that they could come up with such a ridiculous excuse, and it's a pity that they could find such a group of people who are not afraid of death. "

The investigation report produced by the city defense force investigation department made Amber laugh. In his opinion, this report seemed like the other party had to produce a result, so he just fooled around with it.

"Some of the identities here are fake. For example, the real identity of the on-site commander is actually the commander of a defense company controlled by Deep Space Mining. They found a way to erase the real identities of these people, but they were still matched with our own 'key target database'."

Isabel also went on to say that the 'key focus target database' she mentioned was a large personnel database managed by the Intelligence Analysis Center. Isabel and the people at the Intelligence Analysis Center did not know where the information in it came from.

All they knew was that this personnel database contained a very complex group of targets that might pose a threat to Atlas, and this time it had indeed helped them identify several people whose identities were hidden.

"Of course they can't all be locals." Amber said, "This matter was not decided by the Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government alone. There are other people behind it, and this is just the beginning."

Isabel nodded, and then continued, "What should we do now? The Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government sent a message, hoping to have a direct dialogue with you about this incident."

"Let's talk to them first and see if their actions are consistent with our previous guesses. If they are the same as we expected, then we can start the next plan directly."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

An hour later, Amber entered the encrypted conference room in the virtual space. Across the huge round table sat several leaders of the Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government.

However, the administrative aide Sam and others that Amber was familiar with were no longer there, and were replaced by some officials she had never seen before.

"Mr. Rebir, the communication technology developed by your company is more convenient than I could have imagined. I never thought that a real-time meeting across galaxies could be possible."

Alex, the chief executive of the Rubion system, was the first to speak politely after seeing Amber join the meeting. "It is indeed very convenient, but I didn't expect to use it to discuss some unhappy matters with you all."

Amber's blunt response froze Alex's smile on his face, and the other galactic autonomous government officials across the round table were also stunned.

They never thought that Amber would be so disrespectful right from the start. In their prediction, Amber should have come to the negotiation with an attitude of conciliating the matter.

After all, under their arrangement, Atlas has already aroused some "public outrage" on Rubion V. If this company wants to continue operating in this galaxy, it must find a way to win over the autonomous government.

"Why are you all looking at me? Aren't you here to discuss something? My time is precious, so let's get straight to the point."

Amber's "aggressive" attitude directly disrupted the speeches prepared in advance by these autonomous government officials, but they could not immediately suspend the meeting, so they could only bite the bullet and continue talking to Amber.

"Okay, since Mr. Rebir is so straightforward, we won't be polite. Today I want to talk to you mainly about the aftermath of the attack on your office and how we can continue to cooperate in the future."

Amber seemed to be listening very carefully. She nodded after the other party finished speaking, and then she spoke:
"We must discuss the aftermath. An employee of our company's office at Rubion 5 died in the incident, and several other employees were injured to varying degrees. I hope you can give reasonable compensation and at the same time conduct a fair, just and open trial of these attackers."

The eyes of the representatives of the galaxy's autonomous government widened after hearing these words, but Amber did not finish her words. Instead, she continued speaking along with what the other party had just said.

"As for the future cooperation you mentioned, if this incident cannot be handled well, there is no need to discuss it anymore."

After Amber finished speaking, she crossed her hands and placed them on the bridge of her nose, her eyes swept across the row of officials with surprised expressions, and she waited quietly for their reply.

The conference room fell silent. The people from the Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government had never expected to encounter such an explosive opening. They even wondered if they had heard something wrong.

"Mr. Rebir, do you know what you are talking about? Do you really understand the current situation of your company?"

"Of course I know what I'm talking about. We at Atlas have been working closely with you, helping you with post-war reconstruction and investing heavily in building factories. What's the result?
You can't even provide the most basic security for our employees, and you allow armed personnel to attack the urban area of ​​the planet's administrative capital. Don't you think this is a bit ridiculous if it is made public?
If you can't even provide this basic security, I don't know what future we can talk about."

Amber spoke, leaving no room for error in her words.

This time, it was the people of the Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government who were so angry that they laughed. They originally wanted to talk more with Amber, squeeze some more benefits out of him, and then give him some restrictive conditions to accept so that they could slowly complete the subsequent plans.

But what Amber is doing now is equivalent to skipping all the steps in between and going directly to the last step - decoupling from the Rubion galaxy.
