The Overwatch Council remained calm, but somewhere on the Imperial Capital Star, something was stirring.

As soon as Cage and his father disembarked from the aircraft and arrived at the headquarters of the Cairns Corporation, they were surrounded by a huge crowd of people waiting downstairs.

"Mr. Keynes, what is your statement regarding the matters exposed on StarNet?"

"Were the actions of your subordinates authorized by you, or were they their own private actions?"

"What choices will the Keynes Corporation make regarding these ravaged planets?"

Cage's father, seeing the cameras all around, pulled Cage back from his impulsive act.

He smiled slightly at the camera and said, "I am very sorry for those things. I am not only a businessman, but also a member of the empire. After finding out the truth, I will never tolerate it."

"Please give me some time to handle these matters. I believe in the fairness of the law and in the Control Yuan."

As he spoke, he glanced at the security guards below and stopped those who were about to make a move.

His face remained gloomy the entire way.

"Where's Gao Tu? Have you made contact with him?"

"No."

"Dad, why are you still contacting him? Just give up."

As soon as Cage finished speaking, he was glared at by his father.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can we give up so easily without investigating the matter thoroughly? Gao Tu has worked under me for many years. Our Keynes family is a large and powerful family. Who knows if someone is deliberately plotting against us?"

After saying that, he pushed open the door to the boardroom.

Seeing the chaotic scene inside the boardroom, Cage's father calmly walked step by step to the head of the table.

He looked down at the board members with a smile.

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on today's events?"

Pang Wei, the director who had been tricked by Keynes last time, slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage.

"What do you mean, 'what to do'? You're the chairman, the largest shareholder, and you're in charge of negotiating these planets. Now you're asking us what to do? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"

"Who knows how many shady deals you've made in the middle, reaping huge profits, and keeping it from us board members? I demand an audit to see who has been lining their own pockets in the company's cash flow over the years."

"If some people are not worthy of their positions, they should naturally step down."

"Everyone agrees, right?"

Cage watched as the directors, after listening to Pang Wei's boasting, also became eager to join in.

He immediately became furious.

"What are you doing? Every time something happens, all you know is to find someone else to take the blame, and all you care about is taking money."

“My father may not have known about Gao Tu beforehand. Who knows if Gao Tu was one of your accomplices, deliberately framing my father?”

After saying that, he looked at Pang Wei, who was shouting the loudest.

"Whoever is making the loudest noise right now might be deliberately acting guilty, trying to cry wolf."

After saying that, she stood next to her father.

"The Keynes family has built a century-old legacy. Why would they do something so self-destructive for such a petty gain? Someone must be holding a grudge and deliberately stirring things up."

The directors present did not know the truth of the matter, but they did not want to know the truth; they only wanted to know how much they could profit from this turmoil.

One of the directors, who usually remained silent, stood next to Pang Wei.

“Although what Mr. Cage said seems to be flawless, the matter has already happened. We, the board members, trusted the Keynes family, which is why we did not choose to leave when the incident occurred. Therefore, the chairman still needs to give us an explanation.”

"Is it an explanation or compensation?"
