Sweat trickled down his forehead as Colonel Burton said coldly, "Although you've been spouting nonsense all along, you finally managed to say something useful today. If the Hadwo Company doesn't think much of this 1% guarantee, they can go ahead and use their own influence to pull in the project. For example, the Federal Military Department is planning to establish a new colonial city on Heaven's Star, and the first project is to build eighteen giant new recruit training camps, with a total investment of over 54 billion. This project is definitely worth competing for."

  Colonel Hans' face was filled with confidence and arrogance, this project had already been pocketed by their Alpen Comprehensive Defense Company, and it wasn't even included in their five percent guaranteed share. This project was obtained through Colonel Hans' reliable connections in the military, and the Alpen Comprehensive Defense Company's nearly two hundred years of construction experience at the Federal New Soldier Training Camp was no idle boast.

  This remark was a tease for Gu Xiechen, and also a tease for the Hade company. Jin Bolai, Burton, and Chakum simultaneously revealed mocking smiles as they looked at Gu Xiechen with certainty.

  Can Hardwood Company compare with them in terms of connections, influence and personal relationships?

  Gu Xiechen turned his head and glanced at Peng Hua and others. Everyone was staring at Gu Xiechen with wide eyes.

  "Do you believe me?" Gu Xie asked with a sly smile.

  Everyone nodded in unison, even the coldest Aridia was like this.

  "!" Gu Xie Cen inputted the number of Captain Big Beard on the communicator, and laughed at the head with many shampoo bubbles on the light screen, "Uncle Beard, I need your full authorization. There's someone here who looks down on our Hard Company, thinking we're just a group of lucky ones who upgraded from mercenaries to defense company, so I need your full authorization to have some fun with them!"

  The bearded captain widened his eyes and bellowed loudly, "Alright then, let's do it your way! Hey, I'll send over the authorization password from my end!"

  The Hades faction is divided into two major parts: the combat department and the comprehensive department. In terms of handling team affairs, Gu Xiechen and Captain Big Beard hold one vote each. With Captain Big Beard's transfer password, Gu Xiechen can make decisions on behalf of the entire Hades faction and mobilize all resources within the company.

  Whoosh, whoosh, a few sounds, an electronic certificate floated on the light screen, and the words on it showed that Gu Xiechen had obtained all the authorization of Captain Hu Zi.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, from now on to the next fifteen days, within the scope of federal law, I have full control over Hadron Inc. So, we can play a bigger game."

  "What's the big game?" Kim Borlei, Burton and others looked at Gu Xiechen with curiosity.

  "Ten percent of the Heaven Star's opening rights, gentlemen. Ten percent of the Heaven Star's opening rights. If you care about the Federation's affairs, you should know that our company, Hardees, has its predecessor, Hell Angel Mercenary Corps, owning ten percent of the Heaven Star's opening rights. Think about it, a nearly perfect Class A planet's opening, and its first wave of investment is eighteen giant new recruit training camps, with a total investment of over 54 billion!"

  He sneered at Hans Su, who was pale with rage, and continued to shout loudly, "Think about what this one-tenth of the opening right means? The E Group, the Wenke Group, the Leidun Group, and the Alps Comprehensive Defense Company, do all your assets add up to a small finger compared to this one-tenth of the opening right?"

  Jin Bolai and others were silent, their eyes gloomily staring at Gu Xiechen.

  Their hearts were heavy, and the future of the Hades faction, which had one-tenth of the power of the Heavenly Star, was boundless. Wasn't it just to suppress the Hades faction's momentum that they deliberately provoked the Big Beard Captain, and even hired a sniper to assassinate Gu Xuan?

  "I'm betting 5% of Heaven's Star's opening rights and everyone's stakes, we're advancing to the War Minister showdown of the six major defense companies."

  Koja Dust proposed a proposal that made everyone's heart beat faster, and he smiled carelessly, "Five percent of the opening right, if I lose, it belongs to the winner of the War Department's opposing match. If I win by luck, then our Hard Company will get eight percent of the guaranteed share, as well as... all the stocks of the Kuo Group in your hands."

  The stone broke the sky, and Gu Xiechen's words shocked everyone. The 8% guaranteed share requirement was not expected by Jin Bolai and others. However, what about the shares of the Gu Group held by the major defense companies? The total number of shares of the Gu Group held by the five major companies exceeded 15%. Jin Bolai and others looked at Gu Xiechen cautiously, suddenly remembering his other identity.

  A light screen suddenly dropped from the ceiling, and the president of the E Group, Golden Eagle Hook Nose Kinley, appeared on the screen. He bit an ivory pipe and commanded indifferently, "Kinborai, accept Mr. Gu Xiechen's bet. Eight percent guaranteed share, all shares of the ancient group owned by the group, five percent of the opening right of Tian Xing, absolutely worth this number."

  Three consecutive light curtains descended from the ceiling, and the top bosses of the Laidton Group, Winkett Group, and Alpes Comprehensive Defense Company all appeared, agreeing to Gu Xiechen's requested bet.

  Ms. Mei elegantly swept her short bangs aside and said solemnly, "Mr. Gu, we, Kunlun, fully support all of Mr. Gu's decisions. Moreover, our company's Minister of War, Lin Kefeng, will not participate in this confrontation match. We completely agree that Hades Company has an 8% guaranteed share, and we will unconditionally sell the shares of Gus Group owned by Kunsheng Company to Hades Company at market price."

  Jin Bolai was shocked and jumped up, he couldn't figure out why Mrs. Mei had become so generous, in his impression, this gray-haired middle-aged woman was oily and hard, the most difficult person to deal with among all people.

  But what surprised and delighted him was that Lin Kefeng, that freak, didn't participate in the Minister of War's counter-attack competition?

  Gǔ Xié Chén looked at Ms. Mei deeply, he heard it very clearly this time, Ms. Mei expressed her kindness to Gǔ Xié Chén for the second time, Kūn Lún. Not Kūn Lún company, but Kūn Lún. This Kunlun Taoist sect, which is the only one that can rival Zhōng Nán Shān in the Yà Yuàn Dào Méng Orthodox Sects, did not hide its kindness and wining over of Gǔ Xié Chén.

  Huahua made a face at Lady Mei again, his two tiger teeth gleaming in the light. He subtly gave her the middle finger.

  He threw the cigar on the ground and Gu Xie Chen forcefully trampled on the cigarette butt.

  Looking at the astonished faces of Jin Bolai and others, Gu Xie dust coldly smiled and said, "So, we can sign the agreement now. Hmm, I request that there be sufficient notaries present to notarize it, to prove that our wager is legal and valid. Otherwise, if I were to defeat the war ministers you all send out, and you don't acknowledge it, that would be a big trouble."

  In the light screen, Jin Ke Lixun looked at Gu Xiechen with a cold gaze. He said indifferently, "Mr. Gu, please rest assured, we are all people of status and position. This small amount of money is not even worth looking at." After a pause, he picked up an ivory pipe and drew a elegant arc in the air. Jin Ke Lixun said calmly, "If you need witnesses, I can invite Federal Council Chairman Fernand, Upper House Speaker Wen Shu, and Lower House Speaker Bulshi to serve as witnesses. Does Mr. Gu feel at ease with such witnesses?"

  The largest boss of the Winkert Group, Duke Hua Sheng, said with the most arrogant tone.

  "I can invite the thirty-six highest-ranking nobles of the Federation, with the most esteemed and respected identities, to bear witness. Does Mr. Gu Xiechen not trust such a group of noble and trustworthy people?"

  Colonel Burton said coldly, "We can invite General Wynder, Vice Chairman of the Supreme Military Council of the Federation Army, as a witness."

  Sweat trickled down his forehead as he stood up, his hands planted firmly on the conference table. With a gaze that seemed to pierce through like a vulture eyeing its prey, he sneered at Gu Xuan, "Do you know about the most famous unit in the Federation Military Department? The Darkwood Knights! They are a group of true knights who possess the most traditional military honor. With them as witnesses, this treaty will never be broken!"

  Other people, like the chairman of the Federal Parliament, were not surprised and just listened. These people would not have any interest conflicts with Gu Xianchen for the time being, so it was not difficult to invite them as witnesses in the identity of Jin Keli. However, that Darkwood Knights team was actually a secret club composed of the most radical middle and high-ranking military officers of the Federation. They advocated the most extreme form of Earth Federation chauvinism, often publicly proclaiming the idea of waging a full-scale war against the Romans and annihilating them with nuclear warheads. This Alpines Comprehensive Defense Company was more difficult to provoke than the others, it was a dangerous creature that was full of venomous fangs and spikes, and would explode at any time.

  The Darkwood Knights had a glorious history of fifty-three assassinations of federal senators and high-ranking officials who proposed reconciliation with the Romans. Forty-nine of these operations were successful, and although the federal authorities knew that they were responsible, not one member of the Order was ever arrested.

  This is an extremely dangerous group.

  He took a deep look at Hans, and Gu Xie dusted off his cold smile, "With so many big shots as guarantors, it seems that our company's rights are guaranteed. So, shall we sign the betting contract now?"

  "Let's have the Minister of War's counter-competition tomorrow instead. I'm eager to put those stocks from the Kuo family into my pocket, and I hope everyone can understand my urgency!"

  Ginobili and Duke gazed deeply at Gu Xian, the four-sided light screen twisted slightly, and the timing turned into a scattering of sparkling lights.

  Gu Xiamo, who had been sitting there, suddenly jumped up and ran to perfect various official documents and clauses. Jinbolai and others extended a friendly hand to Ms. Mei, "I am grateful for Kunlun's kindness. I hope that in the future, I can become good friends with Kunlun."

  Ms. Mei smiled brightly, tightly grasping Gu Xiechen's hand and smoothly handing him a jade token. "Kunlun welcomes Mr. Gu at any time; this is the Lingshu Token for entering Kunlun. No matter where Mr. Gu is, as long as he is within the lunar orbit, after activating the token, he can immediately return to the victorious realm of Kunlun!"

  Peng Hua took a cold breath, his face twisted as he leaned in close to Mrs. Mei, "Good heavens, you're so generous, this is the highest grade Kunlun Broken Sky Token, right? Tsk tsk... Little Mei, we've met before, give me one, would you? This thing, aside from other uses, can be used to save my life, and as long as I'm within the moon's orbit, almost no one can kill me!"

  Miss Mei smiled slightly, pursing her lips at Peng Hua's words. The little maid, Xiao Mei, seemed to be quite pleased with herself. She clapped her hands and laughed, saying "That's all, the Broken Sky Token is a rare treasure of our Kunlun Sect, we only have three in total. The one given to Mr. Gu was the one from our sect leader, how could there be more? There really isn't any more."

  Gu Xie dust looked at the small child's fist-sized, square-cut, countless flying clouds and heavenly horses' pale blue jade symbol in his hand, only to feel warm and smooth to the touch, a stream of yang energy flowing through his palm and circulating throughout his body, making him feel extremely comfortable. He knew this was a rare treasure, and he immediately thanked Ms. Mei.

  Peng Hua lazily straightened his body, and Ms. Mei said that there was no Broken Sky waiting in her hands, he immediately lost interest in Ms. Mei. He coldly snorted, "Junior brother, sugar-coated cannonballs are useless, offering flattery for no reason is thievery. However, your beauty is not as good as mine, so I'll take the valuable things on you!"

  Don't think that everyone in Zheng Jiao is a good person. Look at Little Zhang, isn't he just as despicable as the demons and monsters among us?

  Gu Xie dust just smiled and didn't speak, while Mrs. Mei glared at Peng Hua fiercely, but her sharp gaze was useless against Peng Hua's incredibly thick skin.

  After waiting for about two hours, the other four major defense companies finally prepared a formal agreement document, along with various contract documents and a stock transfer book of the Gu Group.

  Here is the translation:

  "Kuxia Chen has also prepared the formal document for the 5% stake in Tian Xing, and both parties have signed and fingerprinted the betting agreement. After entering their respective authorized electronic certifications into the federal notary's main computer, the agreement they reached will have full legal effect. Tomorrow, at noon on Easter Island, 120 kilometers northwest of a volcanic island that has just erupted, Kuxia Chen and the four major defense company's chiefs of staff will engage in a decisive battle. The ultimate winner will receive all the bets stipulated in the agreement."

  Looking at the valuable IOU in his hand, everyone's eyes sparkled with a golden glow.

  Sai Ren, A'Rediya and Peng Hua couldn't help but gasp for air, and at that moment, the design of the ancient jade was like a trap set by Sydney. This was truly an astonishing gamble.

  Ancient evil dust, can you overcome it?
