Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1078: Discussion

”I didn’t intend to hide anything from you. It’s just that, I really had no choice.” He looked at Yanran and Ba Lv, ”Especially in front of these two beautiful ladies.”

Yanran and Ba Lv’s expressions remained unchanged, they weren’t fools. Although some details were unclear to them, they could still analyze the general situation.

It was simply that this team in front of them had accepted benefits from the Dalken family to work for them, trying to use some excuses to detain them and then confiscate their spaceship under a contrived pretext.

In this way, how could they, as people from the Extraterrestrial Planet, possibly outmaneuver a local powerful mogul?

At that time, if they could avoid dying a slow death in an endless jail, that would be lucky.

However, the words of the team leader still gave them a little shock. It turns out this conspiracy not only involved the powerful mogul Dalken but also a prominent figure from the research department, Dalken’s brother.

No wonder Dalken’s young master was boasting to them in space that his spacecraft was modified from the team’s ship.

Turns out he had an uncle within the team.

The team leader explained the entire story in detail. After finishing, he took a long breath.

Suddenly, he realized he still valued these jerk companions in front of him. Although their time together was spent in indulgence, never doing anything serious, he was happy with them. That reason alone was enough.

”Can you forgive me? And you?” He turned to Yanran and Ba Lv, ”It was my greed that clouded my judgment, making me do this disgusting thing.”

His companions stood quietly, waiting for Yanran and Ba Lv’s response.

Yanran and Ba Lv exchanged a glance, then Yanran nodded and said with a slight smile, ”Luckily things haven’t progressed to a point beyond remedy, so it’s fine, we forgive you.”

The team members applauded, and the slick fellow regained his flirtatious demeanor, pretending to be shocked, ”Oh, miss, your smile is so beautiful, you should smile more often.”

Everyone laughed.

The team leader continued, ”Now, ladies, you are free, and if one day you need my testimony, I will certainly be your witness.”

This showed his sincere intention thoroughly, not just to Yanran and Ba Lv, but even his companions were momentarily stunned.

Everyone knew that the mogul Dalken, besides having wealth, also had an extremely complex and deep network locally, offending him meant you couldn’t survive on this planet.

Moreover, he had a brother holding a key position in the research department.

So, the team leader speaking those words required great courage.

Looking at his companions’ gazes, the team leader shrugged awkwardly, ”Well, it’s actually nothing. If they don’t let me work in the team, then I won’t work.”

”Don’t worry!” The slick fellow was evidently their little boss, and the others seemed to follow his lead. He thumped his chest boldly, ”If you leave the team because of their actions, I won’t work here either.”

”Me too.”

”Don’t think about leaving me behind.”

”If we go, we go together, being apart is meaningless.”

Others expressed their agreement.

The team leader was clearly moved, he shook his head and muttered emotionally, ”You guys, really.”

Jiang Cheng spoke, and people in the conference room started murmuring.

Although among them, this person from the Extraterrestrial Planet was still their enemy, but their companion’s behavior was too shameless.

Unexpectedly, he was really such a person, using his power for personal gain, making the team members act on his behalf for such unspeakable deeds, truly like Star People’s lackeys.

The whispers of those beside him, though soft, reached Dalken’s brother’s ears because they were too close.

The look of despair on his face grew deeper.

He didn’t expect that the mistake he made temporarily out of love for his nephew would have such a large impact.

At this moment, the old commander spoke, ”Indeed, he did something wrong in this matter, but,” he turned to look at Ye, ”but he is not the mastermind, at most he can only be considered an accomplice.”

”Right,” Jiang Cheng nodded, affirming the old commander’s statement, ”so that’s why he can still be here speaking now.”

His gaze grew cold, ”If he were Dalken, huh.”

Jiang Cheng’s words weren’t finished, but everyone understood his implied meaning.

Though they despised the behavior of Dalken’s brothers, the murderous intent in this extraterrestrial person’s words was still unacceptable.

The old commander chuckled twice, expressing everyone’s thoughts, ”The Dalken brothers made mistakes, that’s a fact, but they didn’t commit heinous crimes; they don’t deserve to die, right?”

People exchanged looks, expressing their agreement with the old commander.

Jiang Cheng snorted coldly. These people were skilled in protecting each other; the old commander was indeed a seasoned elder, noticing the disdainful expression on this extraterrestrial man’s face.

”Please listen to me,” he gestured Jiang Cheng to sit, ”in our mansion, although there are still many things not done well, overall, we’ve won the love of the majority of people.”

”Of course, my words aren’t absolute. If there are issues within our circle, you can go among civilians to hear their voices,” the old commander’s expression was sincere.

He pointed at the image on the conference room’s large screen and said, ”Please look, Jiang Cheng turned to the large screen, he could tell at a glance, this is the meeting we’re now discussing, about the feasibility of applying the type of spacecraft developed by our team for civilian use.”

”And the designer of this type of spacecraft is this gentleman,” the old commander pointed at Dalken’s brother, ”If this type of spacecraft is converted for civilian use, it would undoubtedly provide more convenience to ordinary people.”

”Currently, what we care about most is the wellbeing of this planet’s inhabitants, even if we’re from the team, interacting with ordinary people might seem beyond our duties, but beyond protecting them, we can do more for them.”

Once the old commander finished, his deputy added, ”Even from Dalken’s situation, although their actions are shameful, you should feel that they didn’t resort to more extreme measures.”
