Manison was not angry either. He looked Han Xiao up and down and nodded:

"You are quite humorous. I am the president of the Development Federation. If you are absent, I will not be absent."

"What you, the president, are doing is unethical. Everyone supports you, but we don't want you to secretly kidnap everyone's interests for gambling." Han Xiao stood with his arms crossed and said.

He had previously boasted about the old dragon, but the moment they met, Han Xiao threw the idea of ​​not flirting with the Tool Nation out of the window. Now he wants to stroke Manison's tiger beard as soon as he sees him.

Knowing the attitude and tendency of the association, he deliberately ran against Manison, in order to arouse the inner dissatisfaction of many people present. The effect was very good. Many people looked at Manison with increasingly unkind eyes. They were all big shots.

People want others to make decisions for them.

The two have drawn a clear line and resumed their competitive relationship. Damaging each other's reputation is the second priority, and their own bad taste is the focus... Alas, it seems to be the opposite.

The Radiant allies present were the most embarrassed. Manison was still a nominal ally of the Radiant, but they could not and did not want to speak from the perspective of Tool Nation. The people who had strongly supported Manison in the past were somewhat unnatural at this time.

Manison turned a blind eye to the gazes of the people around him and said calmly: "Through this incident, I can see you clearly. Our original intention of establishing the association was to gain greater voice and not be controlled by advanced civilizations, but your mouth

It is said that I consider the Transcendent A Class, but in fact I am just a bastard of the three major civilizations. And everything I do is to make long-term plans for the Transcendent A Class. Of course, it is impossible not to take risks... It is a pity that you want to please the three major civilizations.

We are civilized and don’t want to lose our reputation and credibility among the Transcendent A class, so we chose to destroy our hopes. In my eyes, it is just selfish speculation, and I will no longer have any hope in you.”

"Oh, I didn't expect that the arrogant Tool Nation would also use strong words to make excuses. It turns out that the longer it lives, the better it knows, and the way it distorts the facts is so skillful." Han Xiao didn't take it seriously and said: "It's a pity that justice is in the heart of the people. What do you think of me?"

The slander is untenable. Everyone has their own opinion about the truth. As the vice president, I have the obligation to prevent you from leading everyone to darkness."

"Haha... you really think you are a hero when you put on the cloak of public opinion woven by the three major civilizations for you?"

"You are very eloquent now, but I am very curious. Will you be present at the commendation ceremony across the universe in a while?"

"Why not? If it weren't for me, how could the three major civilizations have discovered the virus so early? Could they have developed special anti-virus programs so quickly? Without me, the intelligent plague is still spreading. In terms of merit, I am not much younger than you. Among the three major civilizations,

But he didn’t even mention it, the intention is so obvious.”

As soon as the conversation started, the two of them started to confront each other aggressively.

The quarrel started, the quarrel started... Many Transcendent A Grades were eating melons excitedly, wishing they could move a pony over to sit and watch the show.

After a few words, Manison looked around and said coldly:

"I'm not here to quarrel with you today. The role of the association is to mediate conflicts between Transcendent A Grades. As the president, I need to lead by example, so you can rest assured that although we have differences, I will not treat you badly.

do what."

"That's nice to say. I think you are too busy dealing with the suppression of the three major civilizations and don't dare to provoke a powerful enemy like me." Han Xiao joked.

Manison narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "You seem to take the tied record seriously? We all know exactly what happened, but you seem to have some misunderstandings. Do you really think that you and I are no different?"

"

"That's a fact, not an illusion." Han Xiao chuckled and said eagerly: "If you don't accept it, I'll be with you at any time."

So far, he has learned a lot of good things from Manison, and even discovered the core exclusive expertise. He has already tasted the benefits, and he can't wait to do it with Manison a few more times.

"The original intention of the Development Federation is to mediate Transcendent A Grade armed conflicts. I don't share your understanding."

Manison looked expressionless and turned around to walk into the venue, too lazy to chat with Han Xiao anymore.

Seeing this, Han Xiao secretly curled his lips.

Old Maitou is really tolerant. In the past, if I had provoked him like this, he would have definitely come to talk to me with a machete that was 40 kilometers long.

However, Tool Nation must be feeling depressed. Although it clearly thought it could defeat me, it was forced into a tie by the three major civilizations. It had to wait patiently for the opportunity to regain its position and watch its own prestige weaken.

Not only did I get his core exclusive expertise, but I also secretly got the residual map of the domino virus technology that he wanted so much, and I even got a new skill to restrain him... But in Manison's heart, my combat power is still there.

impression at the time.

If I fight with Lao Maitou again, I'm sure I can give him a "surprise".

When Han Xiao was secretly laughing, Kesuye came over and said:

"I haven't seen Manison suffer in a long time. You are one of the few people who can make him suffer."

Han Xiao turned to look at him and said in surprise: "I thought you had a good relationship with Manison, but you seem to be very happy."

Kesuye narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Haha, don't get me wrong, Manison and I have known each other for many years, and we are indeed good friends, but he is him and I am me. To be honest, I also disapprove of his actions, even if you don't stop him,

I will also draw a clear line with him afterwards."

Han Xiao nodded: "I also met at the right time. If this matter hadn't happened, Tool Nation and I might still be friends. It's a pity that we don't agree with each other. I just hope that this incident will not affect my friendship with you."

"Don't worry, the conflict between you and him will not affect our relationship. I don't mind the difference in philosophy, because everyone has what they want... However, although Manison's approach is criticized,

He is right in what he said. The three major civilizations are just using you to attack them. When the day comes, they will no longer be useful... Maybe his today will be your tomorrow."

"I'm sensible, you don't have to worry about this problem."

The two were talking, when a third voice intervened, half-smiling:

"So... when being used by advanced civilizations, the benefits must be realized as soon as possible. This is my experience."

The two of them turned around and saw Sorokin coming over, inserting his trademark fake smile into the conversation, and paying a simple courtesy to the two shareholders.

"Oh, it's you." Han Xiao glanced at him sideways, "What do you have in mind?"

"Your Excellency Black Star is joking. I am just an ordinary Transcendent A Grade. How can I get involved in the topic of this situation? I don't have a high opinion. I just give some suggestions from the perspective of a businessman. I hope I can provide some advice to Your Excellency Black Star."

It's just inspiration to cope with the current situation." Sorokin said with enthusiasm.

Humph, being courteous for nothing is a traitor or a thief...

Han Xiao crossed his arms and made an appraising gesture:

"I don't think you're just here to chat. Is there something wrong?"

"Haha, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of Lord Black Star." Sorokin smiled broadly, "I hope to discuss cooperation with you..."

After listening to what he said, Han Xiao realized what Sorokin meant and secretly sighed that this person was really shameless.

Having become a special consultant to the three major civilizations and having the support of all three, Sorokin saw business opportunities and wanted to come over to him as a shareholder for deeper cooperation.

This shareholder position was offered by Han Xiaoqiang. Sorokin was initially reluctant, but when he saw the benefits, he put down his posture without hesitation and shyly came over to discuss cooperation. Moreover, the grievances between the two have not yet been settled.

But he could act as if nothing had happened, and he might as well have run away from home on a spaceship.

In the past few months, Han Xiao has been busy dealing with the intelligent plague, while Sorokin has been dealing with the dissatisfaction of the three major civilizations during this period. He spent a lot of money and finally settled the impact of the matter.

Not only that, Sorokin went through some fancy operations to demonstrate his position in line with the three major civilizations, and acted as a network broker. In turn, he embraced the lap of some powerful officials of Glory and Void, and used his seat as a director of the association

, concluded a new relationship of interest, and followed a wild path.

Han Xiao suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Manison is also a shareholder of the Wireless Consortium. What he does should have an impact on you. Can the three major civilizations tolerate him continuing to be a shareholder of the consortium?"

"It does have an impact, but it does not prevent me from continuing to cooperate with him, and regular dividends will not be interrupted."

"Is it allowed by the three major civilizations?"

"First, I am a private legal consortium with the power to make free personnel appointments. Second, hey..."

Sorokin smiled without saying a word and gave him a "you know" look.

Han Xiao immediately understood. No wonder the three major civilizations did not mind the cooperation between the two sides. This was by the way using the Infinite Financial Group as a channel to obtain information on the activities of Tool Nation forces. Sorokin was able to embrace the three major civilizations. This was one of the conditions.

.

Naturally, he didn't want to cooperate in depth with Sorokin, so he gave perfunctory answers and dealt with Sorokin's tough words.

After everyone chatted for a while, it was finally time for the meeting. They filed into the venue and found their seats to sit down.

Han Xiao no longer had a tit-for-tat confrontation with Manison. The two presided over the meeting according to the set topics and dealt with each incident like a normal meeting.

It's just that although the two of them were doing their own thing seriously, the atmosphere in the venue was still weird. After the episode outside the venue just now, most people were left with knots in their hearts, and it was difficult to return to a normal situation.

Soon the last topic was reached. Manison looked around the audience and said in a deep voice:

"Due to the sudden outbreak of the intelligent plague, the battle between the three major civilizations and the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance has been delayed for more than half a year. Now that the disaster has been resolved, the two sides will soon start fighting. Our Transcendent A Grade Association needs to choose a side.

As you all know, the three major civilizations have always controlled the ultimate knowledge and have not let go. Their condition is to let us deal with the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance. I do not intend to agree to it, so I suggest that we stick to our original position, stay out of the matter, and not participate in the high-level civilization camp.

The fight."

Everyone nodded. Although they were dissatisfied with Manison, this decision was the consensus of most people before, so there was no problem.

As for the direct descendants of the three major civilizations, they generally do not express opinions at this time. After all, there is no point in expressing opinions.

However, at this time, Manison turned to look at Han Xiao and suddenly said: "Vice President, what do you think?"

Han Xiao's eyes flashed and he pondered, realizing Tool Nation's intentions.

He is now at the forefront of public opinion. The three major civilizations have praised him highly. They hope that he will become their spokesperson in the Development Federation. Not only do they hope that they can compete with Manison, they also hope that they can be in the association.

Speak for them.

However, one of the original intentions of the establishment of the association was to help Transcendent A Grade get rid of the camp restrictions set by advanced civilizations and not be used as tools to fight each other. On this issue, Han Xiao found that whichever side he chose would have negative consequences.

Sticking to everyone's consensus, there is no problem with the association. Although the three major civilizations are not surprised, they will be somewhat disappointed, which will affect the strength of support. Other allies can choose this way, because they are "the crowd", but their own identities are

The "example" of expectations, the same behavior, has different impacts.

If you speak for the three major civilizations and encourage everyone to deal with the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance, the result will be even worse. You will show the face of a person with vested interests and appear to be completely leaning towards the three major civilizations. You will really become what Tool Nation calls a "dog leg" and it will inevitably arouse the public's attention.

Dissatisfaction. And the route it represents will change as a result. It will no longer be peaceful coexistence, but will become flattery and dependence, violating the original intention and returning to the original track.
To be continued...
