Chapter 353

After finishing with the Secret Blood Company, it was time to deal with Danika.

Looking at the distracted, overworked corporate slave, Li Ang asked with some curiosity: "What is your relationship with that person just now?"

Hearing the voice, Danika couldn't help but snap back to reality.

She scratched her cheek, then replied in an extremely complex tone: "It was Christine who turned me into a vampire back then."

"?"

The two people and one plant present immediately pricked up their ears.

At this moment, Danika had already fallen into her memories.

She revealed a somewhat dazed expression and began to recount her past: "I wasn't a vampire at the beginning; I was just an ordinary human."

"On our planet, everyone had to pay a blood tax regularly to support those vampires."

Hearing this, Lu Ke couldn't help but be stunned: "Doesn't the Federation care?"

Although he didn't know what a blood tax was, he knew just from the name that it wasn't anything good.

"The Federation?" A laugh mixed with a hint of mockery escaped Danika's lips, "The Federation wouldn't care about a group of ordinary people who aren't even associate citizens, let alone the fact that those vampires rarely took human lives."

"After all, the so-called blood tax was just to satisfy their appetite. Under the transformation of the Sovereign, those vampires didn't need blood to sustain their lives at all."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shake her head.

Not wanting to dwell on this topic, Danika continued: "During one of the blood tax collections, I was targeted by Christine, and then I was converted into a member of the Blood Clan."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but mock herself: "Calling it the Blood Clan, but in reality, it was just a blood servant."

"It would be better to say that everyone was a blood servant of that Sovereign."

This statement was quite consistent with Li Ang's view of the Secret Blood Company so far; after all, this vampire clan was more like an extension of that Sovereign's power, just like the pseudo-servants he created.

"As for how I escaped..."

"It's simple, talent."

"Taking advantage of the once-every-three-years vacation, I found an opportunity to escape to Colonial Star 9527, and then I broke free from the control of the blood contract. Given the state of Colonial Star 9527 at that time, no one would care about my background."

The world is full of wonders.

Li Ang was only slightly surprised that Danika possessed the talent to break free from the control of a blood contract.

After briefly explaining the course of events, Danika's mood seemed to improve slightly: "That's how it is. I will leave in the next few days, so as not to bring you trouble."

"That's not really necessary." Li Ang voiced his disagreement with the overworked corporate slave's idea, "Even without you, the Plant Union and the Secret Blood Company would have clashed sooner or later."

Compared to what he planned to do later, the trouble brought by a mere Danika was nothing.

"... s that appropriate?"

Danika hesitated for a moment.

As a former employee of the Secret Blood Company, no one present knew better than her just how terrifying that vampire company was.

Hearing this, Li Ang shook his head slightly: "You have already been discovered; there's no chance for you to leave, so you might as well stay here."

He could be certain that the Secret Blood Company would definitely send people to watch Danika; after all, there were already several vampires tailing her in the distance from the Viceroy's Mansion.

Feeling those nauseating auras, a flash of coldness crossed Li Ang's eyes.

He had already dispatched artificial humans to deal with them. Daring to do this on his turf, these vampires were being far too arrogant.

At this moment, Danika didn't know what was happening outside the Viceroy's Mansion, and after hearing Li Ang's words, she couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, this overworked corporate slave chose to change the subject: "What are you planning to do next?"

"Just keep them hanging." Since everyone present was his own, Li Ang had nothing to hide, "It will be hard work for you all to cope with them for a while, until the iterated Clear-Type 3 is rolled out."

"If the market feedback is good, then we can talk to Ma Ding about cooperation."

After obtaining the corpse of Olt, the production problem of the Clear Tree had basically been solved.

The Clear Tree that Li Ang had cultivated combined the characteristics of the Divine Tree and Olt, capable of absorbing planetary energy to transform the surrounding environment.

Of course, there were many drawbacks, as it was just a byproduct of his research on Olt and the Divine Tree, but it was enough to serve as a fruit tree.

After the production problem was solved, the next step was to expand the market.

Fortunately, with the foundation of the previous bundled sales with Morabis Star travel tickets, at least there was no need to worry about sales in the surrounding star systems.

As for the channels, Lu Ke found them through his father's connections. In fact, this Young Master handled these matters quite well.

After all, although he was not valued in the Viceroy's Mansion, that was only because of his profession; the education he received itself was fine.

Because the company structure of the Plant Union was quite peculiar, Li Ang only needed to assign the next tasks to the three people present.

Strictly speaking, Papachi belonged to the onlookers; the ones who really needed to do things were her mother and the patriarch of the Essence Iron Tree clan.

It was just that these two were not very convenient to move, so if it wasn't a major matter, Papachi could basically handle it herself.

As the tasks were assigned, the three of them left the conference room one after another, and soon only Li Ang remained.

He looked at the empty conference room and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

'It can be considered on the right track.'

After several months, the Plant Union finally had the appearance of an interstellar company. As long as they followed the plan, it was not impossible to become a large group spanning several star regions.

Just as Li Ang was lamenting that his power was beginning to take shape, his expression suddenly froze.

Immediately after, without the slightest hesitation, he vanished from the conference room.

'Success!'

Time passed like this for three days.

During this period, Christine did come to the door with a new contract, but it was all handled by Lu Ke and the others; she didn't even see Li Ang.

Regarding this, the vampire was also very helpless. Although with her strength she could easily crush these second-level ants, business wasn't done like that.

At least, it wasn't done like that before both sides had torn off their masks.

After this period of contact, Christine could be considered to have a rough understanding of Li Ang.

Difficult to deal with, and elusive.

No matter how far away her subordinates used for surveillance were, they would appear before her half-dead within half an hour.

After repeating this several times, the blonde with big wavy hair gave up on doing so.

She could have gone personally, but the problem was that it was too embarrassing, and there was no need.

"... orry, in our view, your company's conditions still lack some sincerity."

At this moment, a voice pulled Christine's thoughts back to reality.

She looked at the weird trio in front of her and couldn't help but narrow her eyes: "Is that so? But these are the best conditions I could fight for."

"Then there's no need to continue talking." Danika yawned and tossed the contract back, "Please return, Lady Christine."

Glancing at the contract scattered in front of her, Christine gradually lost her smile.

After a while, the vampire said with a fake smile: "Your wings have really grown hard, little Danika, you..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Lu Ke interrupted: "Let's skip the threats. Ms. Christine is here to talk business, isn't she?"

Christine, whose words were interrupted, immediately fell into silence.

Seeing this, the two subordinates beside the blonde with big wavy hair immediately wanted to act, but were stopped by her hand: "Hehe, you're right, little guy."

While speaking, she signaled her subordinates to put away the contract scattered on the table in front of her: "I will try my best to fight for better conditions from my superiors."

Talking business is like this; haggling is inevitable.

Therefore, although the trio's attitude made Christine somewhat unhappy, she still endured it without acting out.

Of course, this was only the surface reason; the deeper reason was...

Christine glanced at the white-haired man sitting in the corner of the conference room brushing his communication device, and the blonde man beside him closing his eyes to rest, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes.

'Fourth level.'

She didn't expect that the planet's Viceroy actually had such a card up his sleeve.

The white-haired man was one thing; the aura he emitted seemed like he hadn't entered the fourth level for long, but that blonde man made her feel a hint of threat.

However, strength was not the key; the key was the significance represented by these two people.

The Secret Blood Company's intelligence had gaps; the target's background was more terrifying than recorded in the intelligence, and these two suddenly appearing fourth-level individuals were the evidence.

'Tsk.'

Christine had a headache for a moment. Looking at it this way, there was no way to solve the Plant Union's problem in the short term, unless Lord Caius came personally.

But the problem was that as the executive of the Secret Blood Company for the Baal Star Cluster, the other party wouldn't easily cast their gaze on a backwater planet like Morabis.

Thinking of this, Christine took a light breath to control her emotions: "Then let's stop here for today. Please wait for my good news."

As the words fell, she disappeared from the conference room with her subordinates.

Seeing this, Lu Ke let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The things that had happened in the last two days were too stimulating; he never dreamed that one day he would be able to stand up to a fourth-level powerhouse.

Although it was Li Ang who signaled them to do so.

With a lingering fear, Lu Ke complained in his heart: 'Let's have fewer of these things.'

Fortunately, his good brother provided some support, not letting them bite the bullet alone.

Thinking of this, Lu Ke secretly looked at the corner, only to find that the duo who should have been sitting there had disappeared at some point.
