Chapter 232 Kindness and Truth

"Yeah, two star destroyers, an eco-pod, 500 units of the company's power armor, a number of weapons, and a little less manpower..."

Looking at the being in front of him commenting on the company's weapons that had landed on this planet, Topa suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

"(At this distance, how could the enemy see the number of our weapons and men so clearly?)"

Topa clenched his hands nervously. You know, the Star Destroyer was parked outside the atmosphere of the Yarilo VI!

Just by sitting here in the room, he knows their number and equipment as clearly as reading the lines on the palm of his hand. This cannot be explained by "keenness".

Looking at the silver light in the eyes of the "Cocolia" in front of him, Topa's mind suddenly had an idea and an idea came to mind.

"You worry too much. When facing a sincere transaction, we must also be prepared for our own safety. When facing someone like you, I believe you won't mind if we keep some backup plans..."

"Right, Mr. Yao Luo."

"Oh?"

The face of "Cocolia" in front of Topa gradually revealed a hint of recognition, and the radiant light formed on the surface of the skin slowly faded, and then disappeared with a sound similar to that of a broken mirror.

Yao Luo's body emerged from it, and he was somewhat surprised that Topa could guess his disguise.

"I guess father doesn't plan to pretend properly, does he?"

Bronya behind Yao Luo covered her forehead helplessly.

Because from her perspective just now, it was Yao Luo who was calling her in his original form, and she had to cooperate with him.

However, in her opinion, Yao Luo's disguise was a little too malicious. Negotiations should not be so leisurely and tough.

That’s right, the phantom of “Cocolia” that Topa saw just now was exactly the disguise that Yao Luo made through “memory”.

No one except a very few people knew that he had returned to Yalilo VI, and he also wanted to see the company's attitude towards Yalilo in his absence.

"(Fortunately, even though the scene I saw was flawless, the character's tone, expression, and some small movements and habits still allowed me to see clues.)"

Topa was filled with relief that there was nothing wrong with his attitude.

Yao Luo looked at Topa in front of him. In the previous conversation, he had been using his ability to observe Topa's "emotional colors". When she mentioned her thoughts about weapons, she did not lie.

In other words, the company had no intention of using force to coerce Yalilo VI, at least that's what Topa in front of him thought.

"When the company learned of your existence, its policy regarding the Yalilo VI had already changed, Mr. Yalilo."

Topa patted his chest and made the assurance sincerely, looking at Yao Luo without fear, as if he wanted to show his sincerity with this action.

"We only wanted to make Yalilo VI aware of this history and sincerely accept the company's "assistance" in the future by showing this video."

"These two Star Destroyers are a gift from the department head, Lord Diamond, to Yalilo, the newborn planet!"

"Gift?"

Yao Luo frowned slightly. He had already prepared for tough measures, but he didn't expect the company's attitude to be more sensible than he thought.

"What about that huge debt? Doesn't the company intend to pursue it?"

You know, credit points in "King" are not a small number. Strictly speaking, it has exceeded the value of the planet Yalilo VI.

"You worry too much. If someone like you can cooperate with the company, the value you create will far exceed this "bad debt."

Topa's tone returned to calm. Although this decision was questioned by some people within the department at the beginning, there was no more resistance after the department head "Diamond" gave the order.

After she saw the Silver Mane Guards outside the door all equipped with "light cones", Topa became more determined in this idea.

"(The ability to create light cones at will is enough to allow the company to create a new industrial chain...)"

While Topa was thinking, Yao Luo also confirmed his initial guess.

"Sure enough, the people in the company are not stupid. On the contrary, they are the smartest "speculators" in the universe."

"And the person on the immortal boat last time was probably the 'diamond' she mentioned..."

The two people at the negotiating table each had their own ulterior motives, but they also understood each other tacitly.

Yao Luo closed his eyes and listened to Topa's voice, regarding the many agreements and benefits that the company and Yalilo VI wanted to reach.

First: The company will resume the "commercial agreement" that was once reached with Yalilo VI and take care of it.

Second: Repair the ongoing pollution caused by the core of the Yalilo VI free of charge and buy out the debt.

third:…………

After a long and clear expression, Yao Luo fully understood how much effort the company had put into this negotiation, and the price...

"You are only required to cooperate with the company in the next occasion of Pinocchio."

"Pinocone..."

Repeating this name, this was the umpteenth time Yao Luodi had heard this word.

Ji Zi said so, and he had also heard about it on the Immortal Boat, and even the people in the company took it very seriously.

Hearing that Yao Luo was interested in talking about Pinocchio, Topa naturally introduced him to Yao Luo.

"After all, this is the first time that the "family" under the "Tongxie" Hippe has issued such a wide invitation to the outside world."

"It is widely believed that this is a "big event" that is enough to change the landscape of the galaxy." Topa's tone and demeanor became more and more natural, and the rhythm of the negotiations had returned to her familiar state.

"I believe that the Starry Sky Train must have received a corresponding invitation, right?"

Yao Luo smiled gently, admiring Topal's rhetoric.

"You really leave no room for intelligence gathering..."

That’s right, the next stop of the Starry Sky Train has always been Pinocchio, but the journey was delayed by what happened on the fairy boat Luofu.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and Bronya behind Yao Luo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"(Father's aura is getting stronger and stronger. I was standing behind her just now, but I felt a little breathless.)"

"[Bronya, secretly complaining about your own people is not a good habit~]"

The sudden words made Bronya tremble all over. She looked at Yao Luo who was still communicating with Toppa as if nothing had happened and there was no sign of him talking at all. She had a clearer understanding of Yao Luo's "bad taste" in her heart.

“[Hehe…]”

"So, has Mr. Yao Luo agreed to sign an agreement with the company?"

Seeing that the time was right, Topa neatly extended her invitation.

"Whether you agree or not, I think you already have the answer in your heart."

Yao Luo smiled. He had fully understood the current situation.

"Then..."

Just when Topa was about to ask Yao Luo to put his fingerprint on the electronic information, Yao Luo suddenly stood up.

Yao Luo walked slowly upwards and came to the place where he met Topa at the beginning, in front of the table of the Great Guardian.

"Ms. Topa, I already know your attitude and thoughts. Regarding the agreement, I still have a request."

"As long as it is something I can do, please feel free to ask, Mr. Yao Luo."

Topa also stood up and waited for Yao Luo's request.

"Go and feel the atmosphere of this city. I was speaking from the perspective of Cocolia before, but now, this is my personal suggestion."

"Feelings? I'm already in the city..."

Topa tilted her head, puzzlement revealed in her starry pupils beneath her white hair. She could already tell from Yao Luo's tone that he was tempted. There was no need to do this...

"Sometimes, what you see may not be true..."

Suddenly, Topa felt a chill in his body. This feeling came suddenly, yet it felt familiar.

"Clap."

Yao Luo, who was on a high place, snapped his fingers lightly. As the sound rang out, everything around Topa began to change.

The house was twisting and deforming, and the figures of Yao Luo and Bronya slowly became blurred, like a frosted mirror.

"What's this………"

Topa's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, before being enveloped in an overwhelming whiteness.

"........."

"Director? Director Topa! (Voice from weak to strong)"

Topa's eyes began to light up. When she could see her surroundings clearly, the scene before her was...

The hill overlooking Belloborg before she went into town!
The position has not changed at all, even the movement and angle are the same as before.

The shouts of his men beside him brought Topa back to reality.

"Director Topa, are you okay?"

Topa looked at his familiar men, and the surprise that had been building up deep in his heart had reached its peak.

"What was I doing just now?"

There was a hint of unnaturalness in Topa's tone. When asked this question, the debt collection team leader was slightly stunned and answered like this.

"You, you just told us not to disturb the ecology and culture of Yalilo, but you just sat there in a daze without moving at all."

Chaos, absolute chaos.

In her heart, Topa recalled over and over again the negotiation and communication with Yao Luo just now. The feeling was so real. Even now, she could still recall the aroma of the mellow coffee on the table at that time.

The cold wind slapped Topa's sense of touch, and the intersection of fantasy and reality made Topa suddenly fall into confusion, but at this moment, that familiar voice actually sounded deep in Topa's heart.

"Come on, Miss Topa, I, on behalf of all the residents of Yalilo VI..."

"Welcome the Interstellar Peace Company, whose purpose is "peace", to join our celebration!"

Topa looked towards the city below him again, but this time, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.

"The envoy of "Memory" is indeed so terrifying..."
