The four elders only wanted to cooperate secretly, but the Chamber of Commerce came and acted as if they were about to rob them. They had no choice but to send someone to Leopard Court to apologize to Qin Che.
The envoy was very respectful and made the Supreme Council's attitude very clear: "Nanhai only hopes to achieve open cooperation with the desert in technology and realize joint research and development. The Chamber of Commerce going south is something no one expected."
Qin Che said with great interest, "Isn't it because we disagreed that you informed the Chamber of Commerce? Didn't the Supreme Executive Yuan lose contact with the Chamber of Commerce long ago?"
The envoy was sweating profusely and didn't know what to say...
We have indeed lost contact, but the Chamber of Commerce suddenly went south. Maybe they wanted to come on their own initiative. How can you just say that we contacted them?
"Lord Qin, what I said is not a lie. If you don't believe me, you can go to the South China Sea yourself and ask the Grand Secretaries," the envoy said, bowing his head.
Qin Che said, "Forget it, technical cooperation... You didn't agree before, you kept asking for this and that, now it's too late, please go back. But if the Chamber of Commerce sends someone south and wants to see me, you are welcome anytime."
The envoy said no more and had no choice but to leave.
Sa Fanyin sat silently next to Qin Che until the envoy left, then said, "The other side has ill intentions."
"I guess someone still sent a message to the Chamber of Commerce saying they couldn't get in touch, but I didn't believe it from the start," Qin Che said, shaking his head.
He stood up and pulled Savany to his feet as well, saying, "The Chamber of Commerce is always our greatest enemy. They came with ill intentions, but I also sense that there are conflicts between the other side of the government, otherwise they wouldn't have sent an envoy to apologize to me."
Safan narrowed her eyes and said, "You mean...they have a mole among them?"
"Yes, and a major traitor! A spy planted by the Chamber of Commerce among them." Qin Che snorted coldly. "In the end, they just don't want to see the desert people surpass them in technology... They're not worried about scarcity but about inequality, so they want to get a share of the pie."
"Are you going to give it to us? The Chamber of Commerce is powerful; they might just come and rob us." Safanyin couldn't help but worry.
Those mountain people who called themselves "madmen" had previously plundered the merchant guild's team and were beaten so badly they couldn't even lift their heads.
They'll leave after they've done the beating; they're not afraid of your retaliation at all.
They are incredibly powerful, both militarily and technologically, a legacy from the old world. Not only the mountain people, but even the people of the South China Sea depend on them.
They even fund the Mechanicus's wars...
What a terrifying behemoth.
Savanyin's concerns were not unfounded.
Qin Che gently stroked her hair and said, "Let them come. I've been promoted. No matter how many come, I'll kill them all."
He only told his close family members about his promotion.
A powerful Master...
The legendary strongman...
Safanyin was initially very surprised; she never imagined that Qin Che could advance to the Master level at such a young age.
His life is now completely different from hers.
Whether it's the perspective from which we view the world or the composition of our bodies.
The immense power made Savanyin feel pressured as soon as it got close.
She gazed at her husband, feeling a surge of pride for him.
However, he was still worried that, despite his considerable strength, he might be powerless against a force like the World Merchants Association.
The desert people are too weak...
Weaker than the city-states of the South China Sea...
Moreover, having just won the Garden War, we need to recuperate and rebuild. We really cannot afford to engage in further militarism, otherwise it will lead to major conflicts.
“We can’t have another war. If things get out of hand, I won’t be able to control it this time,” Savany said, holding her husband’s hand. “The cabinet has calculated that we can’t start a war for at least ten years. Even a small-scale war would affect our power, and there are many complaints from our subordinates…”
"I know," Qin Che said, wrapping his arm around his wife's slender waist. "The Iron Beast Kingdom is launching a fierce attack southward, so the Chamber of Commerce shouldn't dare to cause any trouble."
"You mean the war in Central Plains?"
Qin Che said, "Yes, their funds and manpower have all been invested in this war. Compared with dealing with us, the Chamber of Commerce would rather win the war in Zhongzhou, because in terms of benefits, it would be greater. On the contrary, if they go to war with us, the Chamber of Commerce will suffer losses. Even if they win, it is not a very promising investment. They shouldn't be that stupid."
"So you guess... it's most likely a negotiation."
Savanyin pondered for a moment and said, "We're not afraid of negotiations."
“There’s no need to be afraid. Your man is the Master, who reigns supreme. Unless the Pope of the Machine Race is born, no one can stand on equal footing with me.”
Savanyin gave him a coquettish glare, then pressed her soft, warm body against him, whispering in his ear, "Let me see... the strength of the Great Master."
...
According to the simulated scenario
Jiang Yuejian's "Children of the Holy Spirit" birth plan ultimately failed.
But the impact is not significant, and Qin Che will not change or give up now.
Implementing this plan itself requires no cost; all you need to do is marry Jiang Yuejian.
But I had already given up hope.
Moreover, if Jiang Yuejian really advances to the extraordinary realm and bears him a son, Qin Che will still give the child to Sa Fanyin so that she can be his legal mother.
This represents the political aspirations of everyone on both the Court of Glory and the Court of Leopards.
A son born out of wedlock cannot be an heir.
For a 'superhuman' like Qin Che, having children is already very difficult. If he finally has one, he should quickly adopt him as the legitimate son so that the throne can be secured and some people can finally breathe a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.
Qin Che went to see Jiang Yuejian.
He studied at the university and worked very hard. His teachers and instructors said that he was among the top students in the class in both academic knowledge and physical training.
