Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 84 - 82: The World Converges at Star Sea_2

"Of course we will do that!" Villard could only say so.

But he naturally knew they were already far behind.

Now, Star Sea Company has Wen Hezhi responsible for everything, and Song Yao as Mr. Shen’s assistant, even equipped with two humanoid assistants, nearly controlling the main positions within the company.

Even the elites they recommended were also absorbed by Star Sea Company, but for the moment, it’s hard for them to compare in status with these two.

So, why is it that this figure, returning from extraterrestrials, possessing powerful technology and likely the only savior of human civilization now, is from Eastern Country?

Villard had thought about this question more than once, but the truly cruel reality was that, no matter how many times he thought about it, it was already a fact.

"Dear Tao, I think you might have some misunderstanding about us." Villard smiled brightly at Tao De and said, "In the past, competition was necessary, you know, reasonable competition is the necessary premise for collective development. But now it’s different; we have a common enemy to face, so I think it’s time to put aside the competition and work together, don’t you think?"

"Of course." Tao De said seriously, "In terms of resisting invaders, we must not allow any disunity within human civilization."

He emphasized his tone on the words "resisting invaders."

"It seems we have reached a consensus." Villard, however, seemed not to hear, continuing to smile, "We can show our sincerity first. I remember your side seems to want some cutting-edge technology? Perhaps you can list them out, or even build a joint laboratory. I believe the sincerity will definitely satisfy you."

"Maybe, we have always been welcoming cooperation." Tao De’s expression remained unchanged.

Leaving Villard completely guessing nothing.

So, to what extent had they reached with that Mr. Shen? Did they know more important information?

Villard’s mind kept rolling, but outwardly he remained expressionless.

Continuing to probe.

Frankly speaking, although there was a crisis of alien invasion, the lack of information and enormous disparity made it impossible for them to do much now.

They could only focus most of their efforts on Shen Shi.

And each step was taken with caution.

Later, Wen Hezhi couldn’t understand some of their words.

He just shook his head, looked at the time, and continued with his work.

What he had to do wasn’t just receiving and arranging visiting personnel, but also the construction of this small island, which would become the main residence and workplace for the company’s employees for a long time.

And according to the plan sent by the boss, this place might even become a tourist attraction.

So, it’s quite a large project.

However, by the afternoon, when Prince Curtis’ yacht finally arrived, the media focusing on Star Sea Island once again caused a sensation.

Forcing him to get involved in the reception again.

Moreover, the Nia Empire not only brought this high-status Crown Prince but also the empire’s most famous princess, Trish Niya!

Why is Trish so famous?

Naturally, due to her beauty coupled with her "persona."

Yes, it’s a persona in quotation marks.

From the age of fourteen or fifteen, she maintained an elegant, noble princess image in any public venue, becoming a propaganda emblem for the Nia Empire. She was extremely adept at persona operations in the information age, amassing an astonishing fan base worldwide.

But bringing such an emblem to this occasion...

Both Tao De and Villard had some guesses.

But the difference was, Tao De was a bit surprised by the boldness of the Nia Empire, while Villard was more concerned about whether it had any effect.

"Mr. Wen, I hope I am not disrupting your company’s work by coming here unannounced." Curtis, though already forty-five years old, still possessed an extremely handsome appearance.

He couldn’t speak Eastern Country Language, so Trish acted as his translator. Trish had been learning various languages since childhood, and her Eastern Country Language was very fluent.

With such fluent Eastern Country Language, along with some "wealth code"-style speeches designed by a professional team, she had also garnered an amazing popularity in Eastern Country.

"There’s no need to say it’s unannounced. In fact, Prince Curtis and Princess Trish have come at a good time." Wen Hezhi said with a smile, "I just received notification from the boss, the exact words were ’Since everyone is here, it’s perfect for a meeting.’"

"Oh?" Curtis’ expression visibly brightened, "Will Mr. Shen be here as well?"

"It’s not clear yet, but we must first wait for all the important people to arrive." Wen Hezhi, mindful of his identity, maintained dignity and composure no matter who he was representing Star Sea Company or the boss.

Moreover, compared to the status of the boss, even the future Emperor of the Nia Empire in front of him meant nothing.

Curtis seemed well aware of this fact.

Nodded his head, indicating submission to all arrangements.

Yet, after gaining Wen Hezhi’s permission, he still brought Trish to the beach to make an appearance among many media and accept some interviews.

"Yes, we consider the emergence of Star Sea Company as a miracle!"

"The Nia Empire highly values collaboration with Star Sea Company. I believe it will bring us a better future for humanity."

"Dangerous? No, no, no. Star Sea Company has not shown any ill intent, and we should engage with goodwill. That’s why I’ve come here."

"We don’t know where he returned from, but I think the whole world will welcome his return!"

"Trish is only my translator on this trip; we all know her amazing linguistic talents."

"..."

Watching the siblings on the other side skillfully handle the spotlight and various questions, Villard whispered to Tao De.

"They indeed face considerable pressure."

"Of course, the last time the one boarding the ship had almost no presence."

"There may be other reasons."

"You mean..."

"We all know that the imperial system has long become unsuitable for this era, but Mr. Shen’s emergence might have offered them a chance."

"It seems they are indeed a bit anxious, but if victory isn’t achieved in three years, all of this will be meaningless."

"..."

Over these people in the sky above, Shen Shi was also observing them, naturally hearing their conversation.

Honestly speaking, the various situations within humanity were far more complicated than he imagined.

It’s unsure whether the human civilization in the future world is equally so.

However, having too many thoughts and intentions in this crisis-laden cosmos is not a good thing.

Especially when humans are so vulnerable.

Additionally, when these schemes cling around him, they become even more dull.

"Beauty trap..."

Shen Shi focused his gaze on Trish, feeling somewhat impatient.

Perhaps the Nia Empire merely intended to try and contact him casually, but this notion itself represented a desire to control and influence him.

Although such thoughts were inevitable.

But unfortunately, even if Shen Shi had no feelings for Ai Xin’Er, he still disliked such behaviors.

So—

After glancing at his black market space, he already had a plan.

Silently started preparing.

Thus, until nearly twilight, the last representatives finally arrived.

This was a team from a large consortium.

Counting carefully, the people here could almost form a Human Federation delegation.

And the media’s voice also became noisy once again.

Clearly, they and even more people vaguely sensed that Star Sea’s silence today might be waiting for these people’s arrival.

At this moment, it could even be said that the world has gathered at Star Sea!

Even with nightfall, it did not affect the enthusiasm of these people.

Moreover, all around the world watching here were still boiling.
