Chapter 698: Didn't Expect It, Did You? It's Me!

~13 min read 2,574 words

At the same time, before the Lyman incident erupted, the A-Tier Alliance, which had been widely discussed In interstellar space, also released word to the outside, expressing their willingness to support the Star Glory Empire and assist in finding the attacker.

The main reason was that the Star Glory Empire hadn't responded directly to this matter, so it was inappropriate for other civilizations and organizations to offer vocal support, and they could only silently put out feelers.

At the same time, this kind of feeler was also an attitude.

Boss, look... it really wasn't us. We are very sincere. Whatever help you need, we are willing to provide.

Regardless of whether this method was effective or could make the Star Glory Empire believe them.

As far as the A-Tier Alliance was concerned previously, this was one of the few methods they could think of.

In the Virtual Conference Room, the atmosphere was Gloomy and dismal. Husband convened an emergency meeting. Except for Li Yu, the other six founding elders were all present.

"Why didn't he show up again!?"

The grumpy Old Stone immediately voiced his dissatisfaction, staring at Li Yu's empty Seat.

"What other matters are more urgent than right now?" Old Stone said in displeasure.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room became even heavier.

Husband looked as if he had aged many years in a short time.

Establishing the A-Tier Alliance was intrinsically a task fraught with difficulties, and this was long within their estimations.

It was nothing more than dealing with problems as they arose, balancing the interests of all parties, and walking a tightrope In interstellar space.

Although the risk was very high, it wasn't without hope of success.

After all, the establishment of the A-Tier Alliance was what numerous A-Tier Lifeform anticipated inwardly.

But he truly didn't expect the development of the situation to be so tortuous.

Lyman, the person secretly in charge of dealing with their A-Tier Alliance, was suddenly captured!

On the surface, it seemed like good news, but in reality, it couldn't be worse.

Originally they were in a contest, employing all means. Lyman held the advantage and could use some borderline methods.

But generally, he still had to consider the interstellar reaction, and overall it was still within the Rules.

But now, he was captured. If the Star Glory Empire became desperate, they wouldn't consider anything and would directly Settle Accounts and slaughter people.

"Lyman... is really captured? It couldn't be a fake news released by the Star Glory Empire, right?" Lonely Mother couldn't help asking.

"It's true..." Husband nodded heavily. Within the Star Glory Empire, The Reformers had once again suffered a devastating blow.

This time it wasn't targeting them, but all gray factions.

If a major incident hadn't occurred, the Star Glory Empire wouldn't be this frenzied.

Not long ago, a certain merchant guild serving as their Hidden Agent was even annihilated.

Originally, they had already found crucial evidence of framing Li Yu and wanted to send it out of the border, but they were affected by Lyman's matter and directly killed.

"I don't know who is so crazy to directly Thrown Into a Mess the situation. The Star Glory Empire can even use this as an Excuse to do whatever they want to do." Husband sighed mournfully.

"Could it be..." Japar's eyes darted around erratically, but mainly landed on Li Yu's empty Seat.

"Not very likely..." Husband hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

"Although he seems to act without scruples now, those are all trivial matters. Without sufficiently large benefits, he wouldn't attack Lyman."

"Previously, when the Star Glory Empire declared war on him, he was Live in constant hiding and didn't even think of attacking Lyman or Loyd. It's not worth it..."

Husband's explanation was well-founded and logical. Japar merely brought it up slightly and didn't say much more upon hearing it.

"Sigh..." He sighed again. Originally, the matter of the Star Glory Empire Frame and incriminate Li Yu already had a lead. Spending a bit more time might not have meant the situation couldn't be reversed.

Now it was great, nothing mattered anymore. The Star Glory Empire could use this Excuse at any time to act against them, completely without needing to spend more time playing games with them.

Just as everyone felt the future was uncertain and considered whether to disband on the spot and go their separate ways.

On Li Yu's Seat, there was a sudden blur, and his projection slowly emerged, connecting into the Virtual Conference Room.

"Sorry everyone, the timing was too coincidental. I was right in the middle of a very crucial matter and just finished dealing with it." Li Yu said with a hint of apology.

Everyone's mood didn't seem very high. Only Vissa, maintaining his programmed smile, responded: "It's fine..."

"What are you all discussing? Why is the mood so low?" Li Yu looked around and asked.

"Hmph..." Old Stone said unpleasantly: "We were discussing whether to disband the organization and go our separate ways."

"I wonder what brilliant opinion Your Excellency Dragon Lord has?"

"Disband the organization?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and frowned: "Has the situation become this critical?"

"Do you really not know or are you faking it?" Old Stone immediately couldn't hold back:

"Lyman is captured, the Star Glory Empire is bound to have a strong reaction, the Alliance is in imminent danger, and you're still playing dumb here."

"I see everyone is Harboring Ulterior Motives, we might as well just disband on the spot."

These Old geezer all had their own ideas and ambitions, all wanting to use this platform to accomplish their goals.

And they all had the courage and determination to face danger, otherwise they wouldn't have persisted until now.

It was just that, under the current circumstances, no one had a very good solution.

"I actually have an idea that can perfectly resolve the current situation." Li Yu chuckled lightly.

"What method?"

Everyone couldn't help but cast their gazes over.

"How about, directly handing over the A-Tier Alliance to the Star Glory Empire to manage, the crisis resolves itself." Li Yu's words caused the scene to fall into silence.

Subsequently, Old Stone directly flipped out and broke his defense, angrily saying: "What Dragon Sovereign, completely unreasonable..."

"You guys play however you want, I'm out!"

This Old Stone was truly angry and directly went offline.

The remaining few Look at Each Other in Dismay. Of course they knew this was a good method.

But the problem was, once they did this, apart from having the title of a founding elder, they wouldn't gain any benefits.

This truly contradicted their original intentions.

In that case, why did they exert so much effort to put on such a show.

Selling a startup Company could indeed yield considerable benefits, but the little benefits gained were far from satisfying their appetites.

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord, must be joking, right?" Husband asked probingly.

Li Yu smiled faintly. It seemed this bit of predicament hadn't made them give up hope. He hoped they could Hold a Sliver of Hope when the subsequent news arrived.

Subsequently, everyone noticed that Old Stone, who had hastily gone offline just now, came online again.

This time, his eyes carried shock and anger. Pointing at Li Yu, he cursed: "You madman, what exactly are you trying to do!?"

"I was truly blind back then to agree to let you join the club!"

Old Stone's outburst startled everyone. They were all people with Status and prestige.

Although Li Yu didn't care much about the affairs of the A-Tier Alliance, there was no need for such abuse. Tearing off the face was no good for anyone.

"Your Excellency Garcia, calm down. Your Excellency Dragon Lord and the Star Glory Empire already had grudges. He was just joking just now, you misunderstood."

Vissa jumped out to act as a peacemaker, thinking this Old Stone was angry because of what happened just now.

"You guys... look for yourselves, see what he's done!?" Garcia was hot-tempered, and Enraged right now, he didn't know where to start, so he simply projected it directly.

Just after he went offline, he saw such a shocking piece of news on the Interstellar Network.

After all, the few of them were holding a secret meeting, and the matter was of great importance. As long as it wasn't something particularly serious, no one would disturb them.

Everyone frowned slightly, turning their gaze to the projection in the center. It was a relatively large Interstellar Media—

"Five minutes ago, Dragon Sovereign — Li Yu, published a statement on his private social account..."

The host's state seemed not quite right, their face flushed, seemingly very excited.

"He claimed — he is responsible for the attack on the Star Glory Empire's third Designated Heir, and confirmed that Lyman is in his hands."

"In his statement, it was also mentioned that he didn't attack Lyman for no reason, but because he investigated and found out that it was this Imperial Designated Heir who colluded with Terror Lifeforms!"

"He secretly provided the backgrounds of Major Civilizations for those Terror Lifeforms to select, making them the targets for launching interstellar massacres."

"Accompanying this statement is also a Recording. We can see that the imprisoned figure is exactly Lyman..."

"This statement has currently topped the trending searches of Major Civilizations. Previously, although the Star Glory Empire didn't directly respond to the matter of the Designated Heir being attacked, various..."

The host was still continuing to broadcast, but these people no longer had the thought to continue listening.

Shock, horror, disbelief... various emotions swirled on their faces.

They couldn't understand it inwardly, and couldn't believe it even more. The first thought that popped into their minds was actually — Was his account hacked?

But looking at Li Yu's indifferent expression, they gradually understood that this matter was probably true!

The madman who attacked the Designated Heir within the borders of the Star Glory Empire was precisely the person right before their eyes!

The news of Lyman being attacked was released by Li Yu himself.

After brewing for a period of time, it had already stirred up quite a storm.

And seeing that the groundwork was about done, he directly self-destructed, adding another handful of fire.

The reward requirements for [Execution] depended on the external reaction. He was now step by step pushing the Public Opinion to the extreme!

"Why did you do this!?" Japar lost her previous Kind-Eyed and Pleasant-Looking demeanor and questioned sharply!

"Did you really do it?" Vissa still couldn't quite believe it and asked.

"He's a complete madman!" Garcia said angrily.

"Attacking is one thing, but to actually admit it openly and aboveboard. Do you really think the Star Glory Empire is Powerless Against you?"

"Yes." Li Yu nodded in deep agreement.

This Old Stone's momentum stalled, wanting to refute, but for a moment didn't know where to start refuting.

He could only scold: "Then what about the A-Tier Alliance? Did you join the A-Tier Alliance just to bring this Cosmic Calamity!?"

What discovering Lyman colluding with Terror Lifeforms, these were all high-sounding Excuse. Fooling those ordinary people was fine.

Originally, the Star Glory Empire only possibly would act against them.

Now it was great, they had probably already had their accounts settled, just waiting for the Star Glory Empire to come knocking to Check Water Meter.

"I'm withdrawing from the club!" Garcia stared at Husband: "Bob, pulling him into the club was inherently a risky move, now you know."

"Under the current circumstances, the Star Glory Empire also has an Excuse. Rather than waiting for the other party to come knocking, it's better to cut ties with him!"

"Me too..." Japar stood up, looking deeply at Li Yu: "I won't play games with a madman."

"Who else wants to withdraw?"

Li Yu looked around. Next, besides Vissa, the remaining two people also claimed they wanted to withdraw from the club.

"You're not withdrawing?" Li Yu looked at Vissa with some surprise.

"If you don't withdraw, I won't withdraw." Vissa chuckled lightly, seemingly not nervous at all.

He was different from the others. His race was special, and he could talk to the Terror Lifeforms, not afraid of the Star Glory Empire's revenge.

He was more curious about what Li Yu's purpose was for doing this.

Li Yu was somewhat Speechless. The other few didn't hesitate at all, directly going offline At Full Speed to publish statements, wanting to make a clean break.

Husband hadn't spoken the entire time. Only after everyone had left did he slowly speak, his eyes filled with indecipherable emotions: "Why?"

The timing for establishing the A-Tier Alliance was a rare opportunity, highly likely to become a hegemon-level organization and change the interstellar situation.

He and The Reformers behind him had placed high hopes on it.

Although there was some hesitation when pulling Li Yu in at the time, they also didn't expect Li Yu to become the fuse for its destruction.

After all, already being an interested party, there was no need to do something that harmed one's own interests.

He really couldn't figure it out!

"There is no why, Old Friend, are you going to withdraw from the club?" Li Yu crossed his arms.

Handing the A-Tier Alliance over to the Star Glory Empire wasn't just a matter of saying a sentence.

If it could be done so simply, then what Major Civilizations had been doing all these years wouldn't be suppression, but active establishment.

What ideas Major Civilizations were plotting, those A-Tier Lifeform weren't ignorant of.

If they were the dominant force of the A-Tier Alliance, they definitely wouldn't join.

So, he had to handle the founding elders, and he also had to handle Husband.

These founding elders, as he expected, were busy cutting ties with him the moment the news came out.

As for Husband, it was somewhat different. He said faintly:

"After I withdraw from the club, you will be the president..."

If all the founding elders withdrew, then this A-Tier Alliance would only be left with an Empty Shell.

But Li Yu didn't care, and the Star Glory Empire also didn't care. There were too many methods to manipulate it.

Husband's voice was hoarse: "I have another idea, and that is to disband the A-Tier Alliance."

He founded the A-Tier Alliance, and he also had the qualification to disband it.

Hearing this, Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Old Friend, I advise you it's best not to do this."

"You care about it very much?" Husband looked Li Yu in the eye, his voice gradually becoming loud, his pupils covered in blood vessels: "Since you care about it, why do this!?"

"Just to be the president? Then I can yield it to you!"

Li Yu stared at Husband and said word by word: "I'll give you a piece of advice. If you disband it, I will hunt down The Reformers at all costs!"

"Kill every single Member of yours!"

Husband's chest heaved erratically, various chaotic thoughts swirling in his mind. Only after a long while did he let out a breath and say faintly:

"I can yield the presidency to you, but I won't withdraw from the club."

Speaking up to here, he revealed an ugly smile: "I also want to see, what exactly do you want to use it for?"
