Chapter 799 Please Treat Me Like a Fart
Qi Xiangqian stiffly turned his head to look at the high-ranking officials whose eyes already showed wavering and fear.
He finally realized that the ten-minute countdown wasn't for him.
That was a countdown for everyone in this galaxy to choose a "faction".
"Commander-in-Chief..." The city garrison commander looked at Qi Xiangqian with a deathly pale face, his voice so low it sounded like he was reading a will, "What...what do we do?"
Qi Xiangqian stared intently at the high-ranking officials who were in complete chaos. Although his heart was churning with fear, his shrewd and calculating face quickly regained its composure within a few seconds.
"Shut up, all of you!"
He slammed his hand on the table, his voice low and menacing, "Ten minutes? Does he think this is child's play?! This is nothing but a classic psychological tactic, trying to break our will before the final battle!"
The high-ranking officials in the meeting room, who had been in a panic, were stunned by Qi Xiangqian's calm and composed demeanor.
"Listen up, everyone." Qi Xiangqian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd like lightning. His tone was so calm, as if what was about to happen was just a routine matter. "Lin Qiye wants to swallow up 0751? He'll have to ask our pulse defense line if they'll allow it! I'm going to the core control room right now to personally activate the pulse weapon. Then, even if he's a martial god, he won't be able to set foot on this planet!"
Upon hearing this, the city's garrison commander's eyes flashed with wild joy, and he excitedly roared, "Commander-in-Chief is wise! As long as the defenses are breached, we still have hope!"
Meeting adjourned.
Qi Xiangqian waved his hand, his expression solemn. "Get to your posts. In ten minutes, I want to hear the sound of a warship crashing."
Everyone responded in unison, and the sense of despair that had been permeating the hall was actually suppressed quite a bit by Qi Xiangqian's feigned composure.
However, the moment Qi turned and walked out of the conference room, his feigned composure vanished.
He ran wildly in the opposite direction!
"A madman...this is a complete and utter madman!!"
"Who would risk their life to come to an administrative planet?! Who would blockade an entire planet for a pittance of resources?! This isn't being reasonable; this is practically trying to drive my whole family to their deaths!"
Ten minutes?
He didn't want to stay even a minute longer!
Lin Qiye is a madman who doesn't play by the rules at all and doesn't respect any imperial laws. There's no way to deal with this kind of person using conventional methods!
Qi Xiangqian's only thought at that moment was to escape!
Escape to the main planet!
As long as we reach the main star, we can report all of Lin Qiye's illegal activities along the way...
At that time, Lin Qiye will not be facing himself, but a jury!
"Lin Qiye, you won this round, but you've ruined your own future!"
Qi rushed into the private shipyard located at the deepest part of the earth and got into a stealth reconnaissance aircraft.
With the low hum of the engine starting, his eyes were filled with a venomous pleasure:
"Before the ironclad laws of Taurus, you, Lin Qiye, are nothing more than an anomaly that can be wiped out at any moment! When I return from the main planet, I will turn your ancestral home, the 0755 star system, into a wasteland!"
"boom--!!!"
The small ship transformed into an inconspicuous streak of light, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was drawn to the shadow of the warship, and grazed the edge of the starport, like a falling meteor, and plunged into the deep sea of stars.
In the deep sea of stars, the silver-gray reconnaissance ship, like a slippery fish, is rapidly escaping the gravitational pull of the 0751 star system, concealed by countless fragments of rock and stardust.
Qi Xiangqian slumped in the command chair, panting heavily.
His face, which had been contorted with anger, now revealed a hint of almost neurotic ecstasy.
"They escaped...they really escaped."
He stared at the receding gravitational trajectory on the radar screen, the fear in his eyes fading, replaced by a more intense malice: "Lin Qiye, you idiot! You think you can intimidate everyone? You have no idea what the laws of the Empire are!"
This time, he took away the planet's reserves of millions of Source Coins, which was most of his wealth, and prepared to go to the main planet to use it as living and operating expenses!
He must avenge this!
Once the main star's Judgment Fleet arrives, Lin Qiye's so-called "Spark Project" and "Sector Chief" will be nothing but a joke!
"Warning: Approaching a subspace jump point."
"Current speed has reached its maximum."
"Jump is expected in three seconds."
Hearing the cold notification from the spaceship's AI, Qi Xiangqian couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Lin Qiye! You can keep playing your 'colonial game' there! When I return, it will be your death day!"
Amidst the maniacal laughter, the bow of the reconnaissance ship plunged headfirst into the distorted subspace entrance.
however.
A second passed.
Two seconds passed.
……
"drop--!"
The transition process, which should have been smooth and seamless, came to an abrupt end without any warning!
"Warning! Warning! Anomaly has occurred at the subspace anchor point!"
"Warning! An abnormal increase in spatial density has been detected! Unable to enter faster-than-light mode!"
Qi Xiangqian's maniacal laughter caught in his throat, and he felt as if he had been doused with ice water.
"What's going on?! What happened?!" he roared frantically, lunging at the control panel. "Force a jump! Use backup power! Now!"
Just then, a deep, indifferent, yet divinely oracles-like voice rang out from the communication channel, slowly spreading throughout the entire cabin:
"Qi Xiangqian, why are you in such a hurry?"
"This is my territory. The rules aren't set. Who gave you permission to leave?"
Qi Xiangqian's pupils dilated instantly, a look of extreme horror at seeing a demon.
He turned around abruptly, only to find that a figure had appeared out of thin air on the spotless floor of the command room.
"Lin...Lin Qiye?!"
Qi Xiangqian's blood froze instantly.
"You...how did you get here?!"
Inside the cramped command cabin, the air seemed to solidify.
Qi Xiangqian looked at the young man who stepped out of the void. The resentment and arrogance that had been burning in his chest were instantly frozen by the extreme cold, and then shattered into a trembling mess.
"No...no! Chief of Staff Lin! Lord Lin!!"
Qi Xiangqian disregarded even the dignity of being the so-called "Interstellar Chief," his knees buckled, and he knelt down with a thud on the floor covered in metal pipes. Due to extreme fear, his body convulsed uncontrollably.
"I was wrong! I was blind! I'm guilty!!"
His usually stern face was now streaked with snot and tears:
"If you're willing to spare me, I... I'll offer up all the assets I've accumulated over the past few centuries! My life is worthless, just treat me like a fart... Please, sir! I beg you!"
"You're nothing to me?"
Lin Qiye chuckled softly, his voice as cold as icicles in winter. Then, with his mental power, he gripped Qi Xiangqian's throat, lifting him off the ground and suspending him in mid-air.
"You've been the local tyrant of Sector 0751 for hundreds of years, oppressing the people, embezzling resources, and even daring to collude with foreign enemies to seize my territory..."
"You can't leave."
"You must stand trial."
This scene was directly transmitted to the interstellar broadcasting system of the 0751 star system!
