Super Island Tycoon
Chapter 1025 - 1024: Might Makes Right
Right now, not only does He need this Boss Envoy to cover up some facts for him in front of the Boss, but He also genuinely wishes to form a loose alliance with the Boss Envoy.
The Boss Envoy smiled as he pocketed the cash check on the table: "Everyone says you’re quite the negotiator, and seeing you today, it turns out to be true.
After putting the check into his jacket pocket, he patted the pocket, then turned his head towards Shorty, and this time, his smile appeared more genuine.
Actually, although your actions were somewhat reckless, they were in consideration of the people of Erma Planet. Don’t worry, I’ll minimize the harm this incident causes you in front of the Boss. And I will ask the Boss to continue supporting you until we catch or eliminate those three aliens.
"Are you talking about me?" Suddenly, a voice interjected.
The Boss Envoy was interrupted and wanted to see who dared to butt in so casually. Luckily, he reacted quickly and stopped speaking.
Shorty had already stood up, his face full of fear as he retreated, muttering continuously: "Help, help." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"No need to worry, your guards have already been locked up by us." Jiang Cheng looked at the two people in the room: "I didn’t suddenly get sentimental; it’s because your helpers began to surrender voluntarily after seeing us. In such a situation, we can’t trouble them further."
Of course, the truth wasn’t as simple as Jiang Cheng made it out to be. Based on the clues left behind by such a large-scale personnel movement, especially when they were confident of victory, they would inevitably leave noticeable trails.
That’s why they quickly found this location.
The guards in Zhou Country obviously wanted to shoot upon seeing them. To avoid alerting the bigwigs they were protecting, allowing them to flee after hearing the commotion, Jiang Cheng used his superpower "Time Stasis". In just a few seconds, he and Ba Lv split up to control all the helpers.
Now, Ba Lv and Lu are stationed outside, watching Zhou Tian’s movements.
Looking at the two bigwigs inside the room, Jiang Cheng appeared quite relaxed, having heard their conversation before entering the room.
So he knew both of these people were up to no good.
Pouring himself a cup of tea, Jiang Cheng took a sip and praised: "Not bad, especially after such a fierce battle, a cup of tea like this is immensely enjoyable. Do you agree with me, gentlemen?"
Although his words carried a hint of mockery, the eyes of the Boss Envoy and Shorty were cold, filled with chilling intent.
The Boss Envoy was clearly angrier than Shorty over the boldness of the man before him, who emerged out of nowhere and had no manners.
At the moment, he is the Boss Envoy, holding a prestigious status, yet this rude individual actually chose to ignore his status, which is indeed infuriating.
So he retaliated against Jiang Cheng’s words: "This battle, involving hundreds of people and over ten tanks and spaceships, is nothing. If anyone dares to fight again, our Erma Planet’s troops are ready to accompany them at any time."
He sneered: "As for this cup of tea, it’s nothing special. I know a place where the tea would particularly suit your taste," he turned to Shorty, "I’ve heard the tea you serve during interrogations at the Security Department is quite good, is that true?"
Shorty knew of Jiang Cheng’s prowess, having clearly witnessed the battle scenes through real-time communications, aware of the number of soldiers, tanks, and spaceships in his hands.
Thus, he dared not respond to the Boss Envoy’s remark.
Indeed, the alien man’s next actions made him secretly glad for his caution.
Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand, and with a slap, sent the Boss Envoy flying. Watching the shameful fellow’s heavy body soar, breaking a chair upon landing and remaining motionless on the floor.
Jiang Cheng turned to Shorty: "What a clueless guy, right?"
Jiang Cheng easily dispatched the clueless Boss Envoy, but he seemed to like Shorty better; at least this Shorty understood who now controlled the situation, who was in charge.
Jiang Cheng scrutinized the man before him: "Your men claimed you’re the highest operational commander here."
Shorty forced a smile, nodding: "That’s right, it’s me."
Shi Su looked at him: "Now, what do you plan to do? Should this battle end just like that? I’m still standing right here in front of you, alive."
Shorty smiled bitterly, unsure what to say.
The situation was clear; the attack initiated by him against these three aliens had been thoroughly defeated.
As a loser, he had nothing to say. At this moment, he surely didn’t want to offend the man in front of him due to a momentary urge to argue.
The currently motionless Boss Envoy on the floor served as a prime example.
Being a person from Erma Planet, though he probably had never heard the earthly saying: strength is justice, might is right, he likely understood similar principles here.
The alien man before him possessed immense strength, taking control of the present situation; whatever he says goes.
Strength prevails.
Jiang Cheng gazed at the cunning man before him, well aware of how to avoid his wrath, but he wouldn’t let this slide so easily: "I must personally take you to your highest Boss, demanding he holds you accountable."
During this operation, your forces recklessly attacked innocent people, causing the destruction of dozens of residences and the deaths of hundreds of civilians. You should bear significant responsibility for this.
He examined Shorty’s face turning pale, "Am I right?"
Despite a thousand internal disagreements, Shorty didn’t dare to show any sign of dissent.
He truly feared the man before him, particularly now that he understood the profound truth: when facing genuine power, the status he relied on seemed utterly insignificant!
Now devoid of protective helpers, he felt like a person stripped bare, forced to cower before others.
Since you haven’t raised any objections, I’ll take it as your tacit consent.
Jiang Cheng continued, "Now you must accompany us to meet your Boss and bring this conflict between us to a proper conclusion."
