Meanwhile, on the other side...
Lin Qingya, who was video chatting with Zhou Gan, had lost his previous arrogance.
"Principal Zhou, about Jiang Wang..."
"Jiang Wang will not be going back for the time being. He will continue to cultivate in the Star Alliance. At present, only the Star Alliance can provide him with safety."
Zhou Gan said calmly.
"No! But we..."
“Before, you were the leader of the Black Serpent, so you should have known about what has happened recently.”
"If Jiang Wang returns to Black Snake now, he will surely die."
Lin Qingya raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Zhou Gan's cold rejection. In truth, he was no longer so fixated on the fact that Jiang Wang could not return.
After all, he was still a bit outmatched by an old fox like Zhou Gan.
However, as a qualified leader, even when facing losses, he still strives to maximize his gains.
"Alright, now that we're back, Principal Zhou, could you tell me about the arrangements for my subordinate and your attitude towards the current situation?"
Looking at Lin Qingya's slightly reclined figure, Zhou Gan knew that this kid wanted to talk about some kind of deal with him again, but he had no interest in it at the moment.
"You don't need to worry about Jiang Wang's matter; he will receive the best resources from the Star Alliance."
"As for the current situation... kid, instead of asking me, why don't you go back and ask your father?"
"There are some things he knows better than I do."
"Also, I advise you not to get involved in things that are not your business with your small frame. The Lin family has had a hard time with you, don't ruin it."
"That's it, I'm still busy."
Zhou Gan hung up the phone after saying that.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingya stared blankly at the now-black screen.
After a long while, he slowly sighed.
Lin Qingya leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat tired.
"I just didn't want to ask him everything, that's why I went through all this trouble..."
He's currently just one step away from understanding the truth about Kaiyuan.
But there's just no way to break it open.
I hesitated for a long time.
Lin Qingya slowly stood up and walked straight towards the door.
"leader..."
"Prepare the fastest shuttle; I need to go find the old man!"
"yes!"
If you have any problems, ask your father; don't be greedy!
They haven't even found it yet!
Soon, Lin Qingya boarded the shuttle bound for Lin Nansheng's residence.
Meanwhile, Kaiyuan received news that the mission had disappeared.
"What does Starlink mean by this?!"
"They want war?!"
Some veteran officials glared angrily, unable to believe that the previously submissive Star Alliance was now so audacious.
They actually wiped out the delegation silently within Kaiyuan territory?!
"Heh, since the Star Alliance wants to fight, then let's fight."
"Tell Shadowguard to conduct a full-scale hunt down all high-value targets within the Star Alliance!"
The crown prince, who held a high position, immediately issued an order.
"yes!"
As one of the guards withdrew from the hall, the senior officials began to discuss the matter again.
"Your Highness, what about Jiang Wang..."
"Heh, don't you understand? Your so-called hunting is not as convenient as just taking people directly!"
The crown prince continued, issuing further orders.
"Announcing throughout the Kaiyuan Universe! Jiang Wang! Colluding with the Embers and all races! His crimes are unforgivable! Jiang Wang is now wanted throughout the entire universe!"
"Call Star Alliance publicly and ask them for our personnel!"
"And continue sending missions into the Star Alliance! If one isn't enough, then two; if two aren't enough, then three!"
"Let's see just how many missions the Star Alliance can wipe out!"
"As for you..."
"Where are your ears, mouthpieces, and mouthpieces?!"
"You're usually so loud! Now you can't even speak properly?!"
"I don't care what you say! We must disrupt the Star Alliance's internal operations before the army is fully assembled!"
"What if we lose this battle of public opinion?"
"When His Majesty comes to punish us, it won't be up to me to decide who gets to enter the secret chamber."
The Crown Prince's series of discoveries and questions instantly silenced the ministers.
Especially the crown prince's last sentence...
"Yes! We will do everything in our power to assist Your Highness!"
At this, all the ministers knelt down.
The crown prince disappeared into the hall without even glancing at it.
These old forces, though they claim to be top families in the Kaiyuan world, are simply those whose ancestors chose to support the Xinyuan Base when they left the alternate dimension.
In front of those artificial humans, they did not treat them as human beings. They looked down on everything beneath their feet from a high place because they believed in their very nature that they were the masters of these people.
They held the same status in the eyes of the royal family.
The royal family is ultimately small in number.
They need these families to help manage their vast empire.
But helping with governance doesn't mean you're one of the people in power in this country.
They're just royal dogs, really.
Therefore, the royal family is not particularly strict with them in ordinary times. Let them leech off the common people as long as they don't rebel.
But what if we falter on crucial matters?
Then the royal family will let them know that if they can't be good dogs, they can only be sent to dog meat restaurants.
Their genetic defects destined them to be royal dogs for generations to come, never to rise above their former status.
However, their status as dogs is something many people would rather have than achieve...
With the increased pressure from the royal family, the entire old power began to exert its full force.
Public opinion and assassinations have caused a complete uproar in the Kaiyuan world!
And news about Jiang Wang once again made headlines!
[An otherworldly being colludes with the Embers and all races?! Is this a distortion of humanity or a moral decay?!]
Does the Star Alliance's protection of Jiang Wang mean they want to join forces with all races?!
[Anotherworldly demon! Jiang Wang's countless crimes!!!]
...
These news stories emerged one after another in a short period of time.
Meanwhile, thanks to Zhou Gan's advance warning, Xinglian had already taken measures when Kaiyuan launched its public opinion offensive.
The power of Kaiyuan's ear, throat, and tongue is indeed considerable, and its brainwashing ability is also very strong.
Starlink knew it couldn't win in a direct confrontation and didn't have enough resources, so it simply disconnected the network cable.
They blocked all external communication between the entire Star Alliance galaxy and the outside world.
Despite the clamor and noise within Kaiyuan territory, the Star Alliance remained unmoved.
Those Star Alliance traitors who lost Kaiyuan's support were immediately silenced whenever they raised a topic that even slightly influenced the narrative...
As the saying goes, you have your lousy public intellectuals, and I have my internet-unplugging ability. It's not very powerful, but it's enough.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Onboard a mid-level Starry Sky Merchant Guild ship.
An ordinary-looking woman frowned as she looked at the various news articles about Jiang Wang on the terminal, then smiled.
"Ha, Jiang Wang, why are you always making headlines like this..."
