Just when he was minding his own business and asking questions rashly, the eyes of Ulan Riel, Badr and the leader of the Void Spirit fell on him, their eyes meaningful.

The nameplate on this reporter's chest says his name is Portas. He works for a large news media channel in the old galaxy. His position is not low, otherwise he would not be responsible for interviews on the three major civilizations on behalf of his own media. He once also

I have participated in many different press conferences of the three major civilizations, and my performance has always been normal. If something suddenly happened today, of course there is someone behind it.

Han Xiao's thoughts changed slightly. He was the first to doubt Tool Nation, but he quickly gave up the idea.

Old Maitou now wants to pretend to be an ostrich, and the lower profile the better. This kind of behavior of hiring someone to question him seems to be standing up for himself, but in fact it is just to make him angry... Manison is not as funny as me, and he lacks bad taste. Although he

There is a motive, but the likelihood is low.

Therefore, the biggest suspect is the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance, whose conflicts are almost open. They not only want to sow discord, but also want to create obstacles for the three major civilizations in front of the public, and the cost is extremely low.

As long as you spend a sum of money that ordinary people think is an astronomical sum of money, reporters will naturally be tempted. In such a big scene, the negative impact of an inappropriate question will be magnified.

Being a journalist is a protective color, and using speech to convict people is adding fuel to the fire. Naturally, the three major civilizations do not want to expand their influence, so they will not arrest the person who asked the question, and they will not be able to physically threaten the ruler afterwards. A gangster will be a gangster.

It's still necessary to be a little more forceful, and if you want to settle accounts, you have to go to the mastermind behind the scenes.

The reporters around him looked at his colleague Portas in surprise and became commotion.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Hurry up and apologize and sit down."

"You don't want to be in this business anymore?!"

Many colleagues who knew him lowered their voices and scolded him, trying to drag him down. However, Portas stood still and stared directly at Han Xiao, with an inquisitive spirit that would not give up until he told him.

Han Xiao pressed his hands on the podium and said slowly: "Journalist friend, I don't seem to have asked you to ask a question."

"So you're avoiding the problem?"

Portas turned a deaf ear, his eyes were sharp and aggressive.

Oh, I feel like a Western reporter.

"You guys, you have been thinking about making big news all day long." Han Xiao smiled half-heartedly, "I believe that the interstellar society has a unified view on Tool Nation's behavior, but looking at you, it seems that you want to fight for him?

"

"I am just asking some questions that the public may be curious about based on the professional ethics of a journalist." Portas straightened his back and looked responsible.

"Okay, this question is relatively sensitive. Although I didn't call you, I can answer it one more time, just this time." Han Xiao tapped his fingers on the podium and said in a casual tone: "Manison has indeed made a contribution. This

It is an undeniable fact, but your statement is wrong. In fact, Manison discovered the core problem of the virus earlier than me. This medal should have belonged to him, but because of his own selfishness, he deliberately did not report the knowledge.

If I hadn't pointed it out on the spot, he would never have disclosed this key information. As a result, the three major civilizations would have been kept in the dark, and the universe would still be shrouded in the shadow of the intelligent plague."

"So you admit that His Excellency Tool Nation should share the Star Sea Medal with you? Do you also think it is unfair that he did not receive the medal?" Portas pressed forward step by step.

"I only admit that he has a certain amount of merit. I am not saying that he should receive the Medal of Honor. Don't distort my meaning at will. Besides, Manison's final decision is enough for all of us to re-examine his motives."

"Your Excellency Black Star, please don't go off topic. We won't talk about Your Excellency Tool Nation's choices, only his objective achievements." Portas is very skilled in avoiding the most important things and taking the easy way out.

"No, the two cannot be separated. Part of my credit comes from the fact that I stopped Tool Nation's plan. If he didn't cause trouble, my credit would be limited. If you think based on this logic that he should share half of the Star Sea Medal, hey

, there is indeed nothing wrong with that... Seriously speaking, if a medal is awarded to him, people who don’t know will think that he has done a good thing, which is also unfair to all the heroes, including me. I believe that the three major civilizations have done

Such a decision must have gone through careful consideration.”

"But the machine..."

"The questions have been answered. You can sit down. Others are planning to ask questions. Please do not violate the rules again and again. Otherwise, please leave the venue immediately."

Han Xiao lightly interrupted Portas.

The other party's goal is to cause trouble. They will make excuses for anything they say. Just stop explaining yourself. Never try to silence the other party. As long as you show your complete attitude, most of the audience will naturally listen.

Continuing to argue is not only pointless, but will also damage your image.

Seeing the nearby guards staring at him unkindly, Portas could only sit down in frustration.

Facing the contempt, disgust, and complicated looks of his colleagues around him, Portas suppressed the fear in his heart, tried his best to look calm, controlled his hands and feet not to tremble, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, finally fulfilled the requirement.

The president who is watching the live broadcast is probably going crazy. Fortunately, it has nothing to do with me anymore. I will resign immediately when I get back. I don’t care if the news station will be suppressed. It’s a waste to work while getting paid...

Portas fantasized about the future and felt that a better life was beckoning to him.

The picture in his memory is still very clear. Not long ago, some mysterious people contacted him and planned to use a large sum of money to make him attack today.

He knew in his heart that as long as he did this, his career would be over. Even if the top three civilization leaders were too lazy to deal with a little shrimp like him, the people below would take action on their own initiative and ask the media industry to ban him.

He was already mentally prepared for this. Not only was the amount proposed by his employer exciting, but also because the other party had a big background. Now that he was approached, he would not be able to do it even if he was a small reporter. The consequences for refusing would be no better.

Go, he doesn't have much choice.

Although today's action will attract industry bans and investigations, his employer not only gave him money, but also promised to arrange an escape route, allowing him to change his identity and move to their territory, so as to avoid the influence of the three major civilizations.

To be a rich man for the rest of his life and enjoy the money that will never be spent in his lifetime... This is Portas's expectation.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Black Star's answer, the atmosphere in the venue quickly recovered. Many reporters continued to ask questions enthusiastically, pretending that the episode just now did not happen.

From the beginning to the end, the expressions of Ulan Riel and the three of them did not change. Manison was silent throughout the whole process, with no intention of interrupting, as if he was distracted and thinking about what to eat for dinner.

No one came out to cause trouble again. Han Xiao answered a few friendly questions and returned to his seat. The heads of the three major civilizations gave another speech, and the award ceremony was successfully concluded.

Many guests gave speeches and left. The three major civilization leaders left the scene under the escort of their guards. Han Xiao exchanged a few words with many Transcendent A Grades and left along the VIP passage.

As soon as he walked out of the venue, he received a summons from Silvia.

"Legion Commander, I watched the live broadcast, what should we do with that reporter Portas?" Sylvia got straight to the point.

"What are you going to do?"

"Kill him?"

"Farewell, killing him will only vent your anger, and it will also give the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance a public opinion handle. It is unnecessary. The three major civilizations will make it difficult for him to survive. This is enough."

"So we don't have to do anything?"

"Let me think about it..." Han Xiao thought for a few seconds, and his expression gradually turned playful: "Monitoring the flow of funds in all his accounts, the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance will definitely find ways to launder money and transfer rewards to his account. As long as they find out

If he earns a large amount of money, his account will be hacked, and all the black money he collected and his normal savings will be donated."

"Let him work for free? Hey, that's bad enough. I like this plan."

Silvia's eyes lit up and she hung up the communication.

Han Xiao broke away from the quantum network's vision and did not take Portas to heart. He would not care too much about a tool being exploited.

He quickly put the matter behind him, and at the same time reached out and took off the Star Sea Medal from his chest, holding it up to his eyes for a closer look.

The item introduction on the panel shows that this medal brings a new level of cosmic legend [winner of the Star Sea Medal], and also has side effects. The basic relationship between the three major civilizations and their vassal camps is solidified into [respect], which is equivalent to innateness.

Calculation starts from 3000 contribution points.

"The number of bonus camps is enough, no matter how bad it is, it still has a bit of legend."

Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction. He didn’t have much hope for this kind of medal of honor. Any additional gains would be an unexpected surprise. Anyway, he didn’t pick it.

At this moment, two imperial sergeants walked out of the corner ahead and blocked the front, as if they were specially here to greet them.

"Your Excellency Black Star, the three leaders have invited you and want to see you."

Han Xiao paused and nodded.

"lead the way."

…

At the same time, in the temporary jurisdiction of the Glittering World Super Star Cluster Alliance, envoys from each alliance secretly met in a round table conference room through remote projection.

A virtual screen was suspended in the center of the round table, playing the live broadcast of the award ceremony, catching everyone's eyes.

After watching the live broadcast, many Superstar Cluster civilization messengers shook their heads.

"The effect is so-so and cannot achieve the expected impact."

"An ordinary reporter can only do so much. I said don't have high expectations."

"As long as it has a little effect, it is enough. Now that the prestige of the three major civilizations has been consolidated, attacking them can only add up to a small amount."

"After all, this is just a detail, strength is the most important principle."

"That's right, so let's get this topic out of the way first. Let's get back to what's really important... Where did we talk before?"

"Speaking of funding and support from various agencies, it's time for the agent forces to act collectively, such as those Immortal organizations. This time we have to strike first and cannot wait for the three major civilizations to take action before counterattacking."

"The stowaways we sent during the first phase of exploration can be officially activated. The three major civilizations control the portal to the Glittering World. We are alone. If we want to obtain a steady stream of supplies and reinforcements, we must count on these buried in the first phase.

chess piece."

"The first batch of occupation targets have also been selected. Our regular army will not move. The agency forces will take action first. They will try to seize as much territory as possible in the free competition zone before the formal military intervention of the three major civilizations."

"What does the Transcendent A Grade Development Federation say?"

"We basically adhere to neutrality, but Black Star claims to have a personal grudge with Modo, and his attitude is temporarily unknown."

"Troublesome guys... Hey, messengers from Modo, when the conflict officially breaks out, we may not have the energy to take care of you. Then we will find a way by ourselves. If it doesn't work, just sacrifice yourself to hold Black Star back. The overall situation is more important."

"All right……"
