Chapter 531: The First Round: Victory

The laughter stopped abruptly. Councilor Kairisi was like a drake whose neck had been pinched; besides "quack," he couldn't say anything else.

He tried hard to recover, glaring at Ye Nan, "What did you say?"

"I said you are feeling very good right now, but in a moment, you will feel terrible, even desperate. I'm asking if you are prepared." Ye Nan didn't know where he took out a nail clipper and began to trim the nails on his five fingers.

"Nails need to be trimmed often to look good. This is the same principle as with people."

Looking at Ye Nan's nonchalant appearance, the nameless fire in Councilor Kairisi's heart burned. He pointed at Ye Nan and said to the Engineer, "Engineer, Ye Nan is provoking the Pan-Galactic Alliance. He is simply lawless. I suggest you arrest him and lock him in the Galactic Prison."

"This matter doesn't need you to manage." Although the Engineer had deep fatherly love for all humans, he was also very angry at those disobedient children.

It was just that he knew Ye Nan had studied all the rules thoroughly. He wanted to punish Ye Nan, but he had no reason to, so he was very annoyed. However, as a father, he naturally wouldn't show his powerlessness toward the bad child in front of the good child, so the scene just now occurred.

"This..." Councilor Kairisi suddenly found that the facts seemed different from what he had imagined, so sweat broke out on his head. He felt he had been a bit impulsive just now.

Looking at the sweat on Councilor Kairisi's forehead, the Engineer naturally understood what was going on, so he said, "I just want you to pay attention to your own responsibilities. Some things, if they exceed your scope of responsibility, you don't need to reach out. Reaching out is a very taboo thing."

The Engineer said these words with his deep meaning. Every father likes a good child who obeys him. For a bad child, he is deeply disgusted. When he is powerless to discipline the bad child, he will vent his anger on the good child, but afterward, he will definitely give comfort. This is the way of a father.

"It was my fault." Councilor Kairisi said with a slight apology. The worry that had appeared in his heart just now was swept away, replaced by a vigorous momentum.

He was not the arrogant and domineering Councilor Kairisi who had been in great joy after great sorrow, but the Councilor Kairisi who had returned to a normal state.

"Do you have any defense for his words?"

"I don't understand his words." Ye Nan shrugged. Just kidding, he wouldn't admit that he despised the Pan-Galactic Alliance. Such a crime was too great for him.

Although his heart was higher than the sky, when he himself was not yet strong, his life was still thinner than paper. Arrogance requires corresponding strength; otherwise, you won't live to the time when you can be arrogant.

"He said you despise the Pan-Galactic Alliance because of your tone just now." The Engineer further explained, targeting Ye Nan.

"Do you mean I must be obsequious in front of you to be considered respectful to the Pan-Galactic Alliance? I don't know if the several high-level civilizations in the Pan-Galactic Alliance are also obsequious when facing you people." Ye Nan played with the nail clipper in his hand, his face full of mockery, "Sorry, I am a person who doesn't know what obsequiousness is. If you want me to be obsequious, you found the wrong person."

"You are misinterpreting my words." The Engineer was full of anger, "When did I tell you to be obsequious?" Ye Nan's words were simply stabbing his heart.

He was indeed a person of the Pan-Galactic Alliance, and the Pan-Galactic Alliance was indeed powerful. But the Pan-Galactic Alliance was composed of dozens of civilizations, among which there were several high-level civilizations. These high-level civilizations were the masters of the Pan-Galactic Alliance. Although their "Heaven" star also belonged to the high-level civilization category, if he wanted the supreme leader of a high-level civilization to be obsequious to him, that was purely looking for death.

Not to mention other civilizations, just the civilization he belonged to, those people would be enough to spray him to death.

Although "Heaven" star had everyone as a great scientist, everyone was equal, and most knowledge was shared, they didn't share a brain. Within Heaven star, there were also disputes, although most of these disputes came from academic disputes.

"Didn't you tell me to be obsequious?" Ye Nan pretended to be confused, "Just now I was talking to you normally, and you said I despised the Pan-Galactic Alliance. Isn't your meaning telling me to be obsequious?"

"Nonsense." The Engineer couldn't help but scold, "When did I tell you to be obsequious? I just told you to be respectful and not to be arrogant."

"Talking normally is being arrogant, then being obsequious is normal, right?" Ye Nan continued to tease and misinterpret the Engineer's words.

"Your tongue is sharp; I won't talk to you." The Engineer knew that no matter what he said, it would be misinterpreted by Ye Nan, so he stopped talking and opened a small button-like communicator, saying to Kairisi, "Do you agree to the Space-Time Empire merging into the Human Federation?"

"It's coming." Councilor Kairisi saw the Engineer's action and felt a bit depressed. The Engineer had already asked him just now, and he had also said he didn't want to. Now what was the point of him asking this sentence again? However, even if he didn't understand in his heart, he still continued to say, "I don't want to."

"Very good." A smile appeared on the Engineer's glowing blue face. He said to Ye Nan, "You heard it. Councilor Kairisi refused you to join the Human Federation."

"We have already merged." Ye Nan said unhurriedly.

Hearing Ye Nan's words, the smile on the Engineer's face became even brighter. He said, "Councilor Kairisi, when you announced the merger of the Human Federation and the Space-Time Empire, were you threatened?"

At this time, Councilor Kairisi also understood the Engineer's true intention, "I was threatened by him."

"Look, he said he was threatened by you. Your merger is temporarily canceled. In terms of law, your merger is invalid. Then please have your officials all withdraw. Otherwise, you should know the consequences." The Engineer smiled a bit happily. He disciplined the disobedient child and maintained the obedient child. In the future, the obedient child would be more obedient, and the disobedient child might also be obedient.

As a Prometheus person, at the beginning of his birth, he accepted the infusion of knowledge. These knowledge were not only technology data but also some experiences and means of his predecessors. Although they rarely used them in normal times, this didn't mean he wouldn't use them.

Playing with means for the first time, he was very satisfied. With just a small means, he separated two civilizations that had originally merged. This ability to call the wind and rain made him a bit addicted.

"No wonder some predecessors like to study means. It turns out the feeling of playing with means is so wonderful." The Engineer thought to himself.

On "Heaven" star, biological and viral technology were the mainstream, and others were just side branches. But now the Engineer felt that other side branches were not as useless as imagined. At least at some critical moments, they could still be of great use.

"That's right, that's right, the merger is temporarily canceled." Councilor Kairisi rubbed his hands. Just now Ye Nan said this was an internal affair of the Human Federation, so next, it was also an internal affair of the Human Federation. He could completely make a move to kill the officials who immigrated from the Space-Time Empire.

"Why should the merger be canceled?" Ye Nan was still unhurried, the smile on his face unchanged, as if the current situation was still relaxed, without the slightest danger.

"Still refusing to admit defeat?" The Engineer sneered, looking at Ye Nan, saying word by word, "Because you threatened Councilor Kairisi, the merger is temporarily canceled. After I investigate and verify, it can be re-merged."

The Engineer felt refreshed in his heart. He had already anticipated how panicked and angry Ye Nan would be after he finished saying this. Thinking about it, he felt happy.

"I threatened him, it doesn't seem to violate the rules." Ye Nan said methodically.

"The Pan-Galactic Alliance has stipulated that people from other civilizations are not allowed to threaten the supreme leader and do things against the will of the supreme leader." The Engineer thought Ye Nan still refused to admit defeat and was still being stubborn here, so he read out the regulations of the Pan-Galactic Alliance, then sneered and looked at Ye Nan, seeing how he would deal with it.

"The Pan-Galactic Alliance doesn't allow threatening the supreme leader, but it didn't say it doesn't allow threatening an ordinary person." Ye Nan sighed leisurely, "Sorry, Councilor Kairisi, in the parliament just now, a councilor proposed to revoke your position as supreme leader. This proposal has already been passed by the parliament, so you are no longer the councilor."

The Engineer's sneer stopped abruptly. Councilor Kairisi was in disbelief. Just like this, Ye Nan achieved a shocking reversal, turning the unfavorable into the invisible.

"Impossible." Councilor Kairisi roared, "The Federation's law stipulates that the meeting must have the councilor present, otherwise the member is illegal. You are illegal."

"Sorry, the law has been changed." Ye Nan apologized, "Just now, a councilor submitted a proposal to change the parliamentary process, and it has already been passed."

"You didn't understand my words, did you? I said the parliament is illegal, all parliaments are illegal, and the parliament that amended the law is also illegal." Councilor Kairisi roared. He was now at a life-and-death juncture. Once the parliament passed it, he would be a completely soft persimmon, allowing anyone to pinch him twice, so he would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

"According to the Emergency Parliamentary Law, when the councilor is kidnapped, councilors can convene without the councilor present." Ye Nan's apology became even deeper, "They thought you were kidnapped. This is their mistake and should be dismissed."

"I..." Councilor Kairisi couldn't catch his breath and fell backward.

"You went too far." The Engineer watched from the sidelines. He knew Ye Nan had won completely. Councilor Kairisi was no longer the councilor, and his so-called threat naturally had no effect. The Pan-Galactic Alliance would not convene the Galactic Court because Ye Nan threatened an ordinary person. Only the supreme leader of a civilization could open the Galactic Court.

But Ye Nan's behavior deeply angered him. He understood that Ye Nan was playing with power. In fact, everyone understood, but they had no evidence. They couldn't even verify it: other civilization members of the Pan-Galactic Alliance were not allowed to interfere in another civilization in any form. "Did I go too far?" Ye Nan looked innocent, "Everything I did was done within the system and in accordance with the law."

In fact, if it weren't for Councilor Kairisi putting him in a passive position, he wouldn't have activated this emergency plan, letting Yilisi convene councilors, amend legal procedures, impeach Councilor Kairisi, and dismiss Councilor Kairisi from his position.

He understood that once this practice spread, other civilizations would look at him with colored glasses. This was much more serious than any scandal event. This was nakedly slapping the Pan-Galactic Alliance in the face.

However, compared to the big event of the merger, what if the Pan-Galactic Alliance was slapped in the face? Relying on this alliance with little binding force, could it still sanction him? One must know that the current situation was very tense, and they wouldn't break their own strength.

"No need to cover up anymore. Everyone knows your thoughts. It's better to talk openly. We might be able to talk it over. Otherwise, you know the consequences." The Engineer threatened.

"As you wish." Ye Nan sneered. He wasn't a fool. After clearly occupying all the benefits, he still wanted to talk and spit out the fat meat he had eaten? He wasn't that stupid.

"Good." The Engineer turned and left.

"Wait a moment." Ye Nan suddenly called out to the Engineer.

"You changed your mind and want to negotiate?" The Engineer's expression straightened, very serious, but the smile between his brows couldn't be hidden at all.

"No." Ye Nan shook his head and chuckled, "I just want to ask you, when will you come to meet the new councilor and ask him if he was threatened by me?"

Hearing this, the Engineer's expression turned cold, "We'll talk about it in a while." After speaking, the Engineer turned and left.

"Wait a moment." Ye Nan called out to the Engineer who was planning to leave again.

"What is it now?" The Engineer suppressed his anger and turned his head.

"I just want to tell you that our Human Federation has killed many bugs. You need to take a look and calculate the battle merits for us. Our Human Federation is all waiting for battle merits to exchange for technology data."

"We'll talk about it later." The Engineer turned and left, making up his mind that no matter how Ye Nan called him later, he wouldn't look back.

"Time waits for no one. The current situation is not very good. If you don't appear within three days, I will report to the Pan-Galactic Alliance and accuse you of delaying military opportunities. I believe that given the current situation, your crime will not be light." Ye Nan threatened with a smile.

Ye Nan, who had deduced the Zerg attack, naturally had sufficient confidence.

"See you in three days." The Engineer paused but didn't look back. He just said this sentence and walked out. (To be continued.) ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
