Chapter 120

Moreover, according to intelligence, she had inextricable ties with Wildfire.

Topaz squinted her eyes as she looked at the gentle woman in front of her, feeling that this person was very unusual.

"I am very happy that Miss Topaz, the representative of the company, knows my name."

Natasha said somewhat nonchalantly, her gaze still falling on the entrance of the hall.

Was she waiting for someone? Topaz could not help but think, but she still said politely:

"This is my duty. In the future, the company will cooperate deeply with your planet————"

"I know what you are referring to." Natasha nodded gently: "Your plan will not succeed."

There was a deathly silence in the air.

"Why?" Topaz could not help but ask.

"The Supreme Guardian will not agree no matter what. I once saw her when she was young..."

Natasha sipped a smile gently:

"..... I know her very well. She has the shrewdness of the Overworld and the stubbornness of the Underworld."

"We in the Underworld spent many, many years, shed many, many years of blood, and finally exchanged for the opportunity for our children to freely look up at the sky."

Natasha paused and looked at Topaz and said:

"Even if some people would not hesitate to sell the entire Belobog to you, we in Wildfire will not agree."

"Even if we spend many, many more years and shed more and more blood, we will not agree."

"..." Topaz looked at Natasha, her eyes somewhat serious: "You can't do it. You can't possibly defeat the company."

"Of course, I have never held such an unrealistic idea."

Natasha nodded gently:

"But we can increase your ruling costs."

"We will struggle from the streets, struggle from the abandoned towns in the Underworld, struggle in the depths of the mines, and struggle in every corner that your arms cannot reach."

"We will attack and harass your employees, assassinate those who serve you, and blow up the railways you build."

"Every employee you obtain from this planet will pay a price far exceeding that of other planets."

Natasha looked at Topaz plainly, her tone soft and soothing,

"We lose blood, but you are not allowed to earn."

"You won't do business at a loss. Either destroy us completely, or lighten the shackles on us."

"The best case is that you have to give Jarilo-VI more freedom, and our children will have more choices for the future."

"..... But Wildfire still can't truly liberate Jarilo-VI in the end."

Topaz looked at Natasha and said:

"The company will only support a new regime that is easier to accept, a new regime that can win a certain degree of independence but will not harm the company's interests."

"So what."

Natasha laughed softly and said:

"This was our purpose to begin with."

"Jarilo-VI will stand in the universe with more dignity."

"Our children will have more choices for the future."

"You will even have to give Jarilo-VI more investment."

"As for the fate of Wildfire..... at least we have been here."

Topaz fell into silence, her heart surging with waves.

She kept calculating how much capital the company needed to invest to suppress Wildfire,

and how much profit could ultimately be extracted from Jarilo-VI?

In the end, Topaz reached a conclusion:

Jarilo-VI loses blood, and the company doesn't earn much either.

Either destroy Jarilo-VI, or make concessions to Jarilo-VI.

Sweat flowed down Topaz's forehead. This woman Natasha.... was indeed not easy to deal with.

Just at this moment, the door of the hall opened.

"He is here." Natasha said softly.

Topaz's gaze looked over, and then she widened her eyes abruptly.

114. 【God of Trash Cans "End of Reincarnation"】

A crisp and decisive sound of footsteps came from the porch outside the hall.

The music played by the drummers, flutists, and violinists on both sides was suppressed by these footsteps.

The sound was heavy and crisp, making Topaz's heart unable to help but beat along with it.

The hall door was pushed open by the Silvermane Guards, and cold wind surged in, making the windows of the entire hall creak and the candlelight flicker.

The musicians could not help but stop playing, and silence shrouded the entire hall.

A black coat fluttered like a dark cloud in the cold wind, and the man wearing it, accompanied by the Supreme Guardian Bronya and two young women, walked into the hall.

The guards closed the hall door, isolating the cold wind outside the banquet.

"Emperor of the Empire, His Majesty Zhou Xuan!"

The herald standing at the door shouted at the top of his voice.

Topaz could feel that the herald's voice was trembling.

The man named Zhou Xuan carried a faint smile and scanned everyone present with his gaze.

Whether it was officials, nobles, Architects, or even Wildfire members,

the moment they were glanced at by his gaze, they felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.

Everyone present, even the most foolish noble, could feel

what kind of terrifying power was hidden beneath this man's flesh and blood body.

"Emperor?" Deep confusion appeared in Topaz's eyes.

Is he the emperor of that starship civilization in the sky?

Or is it... A terrible thought popped into Topaz's mind.

Just at this moment, Zhou Xuan's gaze fell gently on Topaz.

Topaz also saw the face of that Emperor clearly————

"It's him?!" Topaz's pupils vibrated.

It was the man she met in the museum in Belobog.

So it was him!

Zhou Xuan noticed Topaz and nodded to her with a smile to greet her.

Topaz's body trembled slightly, and instinctively she placed her hand on her chest and bowed slightly to Zhou Xuan to salute.

Logically speaking, as a representative of the company, a nod would have been in line with etiquette,

but Topaz's instinct told her that the man in front of her was far more powerful and noble than herself.

That was a nobility from the depths of the soul, transcending all beings.

Topaz's lips trembled slightly; she wanted to speak but felt she couldn't.

The Emperor named Zhou Xuan did not stay too long, but walked slowly into the inner hall accompanied by Bronya and the two women.

As he left, Topaz felt her tense spirit relax a little.

She wiped her forehead and found it covered in sweat.

A sense of dizziness struck out of thin air. Topaz took steps with difficulty and sat on the chair to the side.

She raised her eyes and looked around,

finding that in the hall, whether it was nobles or officials, Wildfire members or Architects, all were trembling.

Some people with weak psychological quality had even fainted on the ground, unable to stand up.

The musicians were even less in the mood to play music, holding their instruments and trembling gently in the corner.

"What..... what exactly is He?!"

Topaz could not help but ask, but didn't know who she was asking.

She didn't even know what she was asking.

That man, that Emperor named Zhou Xuan,
