Wood spoke first: "You misunderstood, Count Mig. The three of us happened to be having dinner together and talked about this matter. We wanted to ask you to come over and tell us about it. This would save you the trouble of running back and forth, right?"
Miguel smiled and said, "Thank you Ambassador Wood for thinking of me. In fact, I just learned about the Star City virus cleanup incident that just happened. This was secretly arranged by Emperor Robert to be done by his youngest son Luo Tian. The goal was to completely drive out the spies hidden in Star City and block the channels for intelligence leaks."
The bearded, red-haired Mars Ambassador Andre shouted at the top of his voice: "What does Rob mean by doing this? What is he trying to prevent us from doing?"
Miguel turned to Andre and said, "At the recent meeting of the House of Nobles, Emperor Robert proposed to clean up foreign spies. This matter was originally assigned to Count Harvey. You know Harvey, he would never do it. He was just perfunctory to the emperor. But I didn't expect Robert to send his son Luo Tian to visit the Star City Control Center suddenly, and then check and kill viruses and Trojans. I couldn't do anything. After all, this kind of thing is not open to the public, and I can't stop it."
Mercury City Ambassador Gina stroked her silver hair and said gently, "Count Mig, we didn't come to you to hear you excuse yourself. Over the years, you and Count Harvey have received a lot of money from our star cities. Now that the Survival Alliance needs you, shouldn't you play a role?"
Miguel looked at her fair and pretty face and adjusted his glasses. "I came here to help you. Otherwise, I could have just hidden myself from you. Now that your three star cities have formed a survival alliance, the other star cities have guessed your intentions. Doesn't Robert know? He must be doing this at this critical moment to protect himself. Don't forget that we are in an alliance with Saturn City. Robert also asked me to go to the Jupiter area as soon as possible to visit the Supreme Archon in person. His plan is very obvious."
After hearing what Miguel said, Andre slammed the table with his fist like a sandbag. "This Robert is so bold that he dared to form an alliance with Saturn City and Jupiter City to try to establish a new alliance to deal with us. Jupiter City has always claimed independence to protect itself. What qualifications do you, a small Uranus City, have to raise the flag?"
Miguel hated Andre because he was always so domineering.
Wood sensed the tense atmosphere and said with a smile, "I think Count Mig has a plan, otherwise he wouldn't have come to us."
Miguel nodded. "Since all three of you are here today, let me make my position clear first. I do not agree with Rob's plan, and I have clearly expressed my opposition, but the emperor's attitude is very firm this time, and he obviously does not trust us, otherwise he would not send his own son to fight in person. For me, I hope to maintain a good relationship with the Survival Alliance."
Gina smiled at Miguel. "Count Miguel is indeed a far-sighted man. The Survival Alliance does not want to fight, but now our storage space has indeed reached its limit. Jupiter City does not want to cooperate with us, and we cannot touch it. Saturn City is a piece of fat meat, with a large scale and a large population, and their attitude is not clear. I think Uranus City has the initiative now. If it unites with us, we can divide Saturn City together, and each of us can have enough to eat. But if you don't cooperate, and Saturn City cooperates with us, then you will be the ones to be eaten."
Andre said, "Gina, didn't you hear what Miguel said just now? That Rob has decided to go against us, so Uranus City can't possibly join forces with us."
Wood rolled his eyes and said, "I have an idea. Miguel, we have known each other for so many years, and I know you. With your talent, why should you be inferior to Robert? We in the Survival Alliance can support you in overthrowing Robert, but the prerequisite is that you have to promise to form an alliance with us once the success is achieved."
This is what Miguel wanted. He knew he couldn't agree so easily. He had to get some bargaining chips first: "Rober is good to me. Doing this is against the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. Besides, the Robert family has been deeply rooted in Uranus City for more than a hundred years. How can I shake it?"
Gina held Miguel's hand and comforted him, "We can do our best to help you. With the support of our survival alliance, what are you worried about? The weak Uranus City can be easily flattened."
Miguel's eyes lit up with a strange light, which was exactly what he wanted: "With your words, I have a clear mind. I will need your help soon. I hope you can cooperate then."
Andre said: "That's no problem, but we also have a condition."
Miguel hated it most when people made demands on him, but he really needed help now, so he asked, "What are the demands?"
Wood smiled and said, "I heard that your son Miller likes traveling very much. I want to take him to the Venus area to have a good time. He can also go to the Mars area and Mercury area to learn some advanced technology."
Miguel's face remained expressionless, but he secretly clenched his fists. These people were indeed cunning and wanted to hold his son hostage.
Gina saw that Miguel was hesitant and advised: "Don't you want to build a glorious family business for your son? In fact, it would be a good thing for Miller to see the world and make more friends."
Miguel said, "Let me go back and discuss this with my son."
After leaving the Venus City Embassy, Miguel went to find the Jupiter City Ambassador Morey. As one of the most powerful cities in Kaiyuan Star City, Jupiter City has always maintained a neutral and non-aligned foreign policy. After he met with Morey, Morey insisted on Jupiter City's consistent attitude, not participating in the star war, maintaining neutrality, and respecting Uranus City's decision to clean up the virus and thoroughly investigate spies.
After a busy day, Miguel stood up from the immersion cabin, sweating profusely. At this time, the setting sun was shining in the west, and the afterglow of the sun sprinkled on his body, as if he saw the end of the Robert family.
Miguel has been preparing for this moment for more than ten years. Now the right time, right place, and right people are all on his side. He has paid too much over the years to reach the pinnacle of power. Now it is time to reap the rewards.
