In the secret conference room of a certain base of the Blood Gold Organization, more than a dozen high-level remote projections of the organization went online one after another. They were of different species. There were black eye patches covering the right eye of a bearded cosmic human who looked like a pirate. The Andor bees with three pairs of citrine-like pupils, and the Void Hunter with a blue-purple streamlined carapace.
The characters here are not ordinary people. They used to have their own bad deeds in different regions. Most of them bear high bounties from different civilizations. Their combat effectiveness in the natural disaster grade is not ordinary. Controlling different teams, rarely going out in person, basically in a semi-retired state.
"Everyone knows what we have encountered recently. The Scarlet Empire and the Black Star Legion have imposed sanctions on us, and the three top leaders of the organization, Marlo, Versesna, and Indir, were assassinated and killed."
The leader of the Blood Gold Organization folded his hands and held his nose, his posture was classic, his eyes were ecstatic, and his tone was solemn.
The current blood gold leader is a male humanoid creature, a member of the Radiance Federation, an elite race that has been genetically adjusted, with a sturdy appearance and is in the prime of life.
Unlike the high-ranking people here, his foundation is quite clean. He is not a wanted criminal, but a group of elites cultivated by the previous blood gold organization leader since childhood. After the old man died, he took over as the leader of the organization. years.
The Blood Gold Organization itself is quite old, and the current leader of the organization is the twelfth generation leader.
The interstellar black market has existed for longer than some galaxy-level and even star-cluster-level civilizations, and the managers have changed one after another. seats.
"Poor Marrow, I still owe him 7,230,500 Inal. He is such a good man, and he died in such a timely manner." A senior executive who looked like an octopus monster Rubbing his eyes with his tentacles, he squeezed out a little tear.
"Now is not the time to be joking, the Scarlet Empire killed our organization's top executives, which clearly is to shock us, punish us for robbing the goods of the empire's allies, and want us to retreat in spite of difficulties and stop playing the idea of evolutionary totems... The question is how high-level information leaked."
The pitch-black Andor bees had a shrill voice and spoke slowly.
The blood gold leader said solemnly: "Some time ago, Coronstad's team encountered Black Star's mechanical troop. It should be Black Star who personally locked the whereabouts of the high-level... Usually we are the only ones to deter others, but this time it was blocked by a higher level. The power of the Scarlet Empire and the Black Star Legion are not easy to mess with, we need to consider countermeasures.”
"Humph, the Black Star Legion is far away from Broken Starlink, so far away, the threat to us is limited, and the Black Star Legion is a little more powerful in Broken Starlink, and it has no power in other star fields, and its scale is far inferior to us, only Black Star I'm not easy to deal with... I don't care about them for the time being, the Scarlet Empire is the focus that needs our attention." The pirate-like bearded mouth spoke in a rough tone.
"I think so too." The blood gold leader nodded.
The business of the Blood Gold Organization covers three star regions, and its power scale is larger than that of the Black Star Legion. In their eyes, the Black Star Legion itself has nothing to be afraid of. The only person who needs to be afraid is Black Star. In contrast, Scarlet The strict attitude of the empire is the fundamental reason why the blood gold organization is ready to fight.
"Glorious and Voidling came to us. If we continue to snatch the evolutionary totem, we will be further counterattacked by the Scarlet Empire. If we stop, Glorious and Voidling will abandon us." The blood gold leader said slowly.
"I was against the issue of meddling in the evolution of the totem. It involves the struggle of the three major civilizations. We are just a chess piece. Once involved in the storm, we can't help ourselves. It's better to operate in a low-key manner." A high-level executive couldn't help complaining.
"Tsk, Glory and Void come to us, do you think they will give us room to refuse, hold their thighs, at least there is further hope, refuse their olive branch, we will lose everything we have now, Interstellar Black market administrators? Don't even think about it, we will slowly shrink into an unpopular black market mercenary organization, which will be destroyed one day... When they come to the door, we can't stay out of it. "
The blood gold leader's tone was cold.
The interstellar black market is a huge consortium of interests, and each manager is the overlord of different gray industries, so it needs a lot of backers and shelter. Among the black market managers, the ones with the most discourse power are actually the organizations of the brokerage industry. They use various means to persuade different civilizations and provide shelter for other managers to match up. The relationship is intertwined.
If the Blood Gold Organization incurs the dissatisfaction of the Glory and Void Spirit, the subsequent impact is not a family matter. If the business of other black market managers is affected, they may not join forces to kick the Blood Gold Organization out of high-level seats and no longer provide shelter. with support.
Since people have chosen you, you are a gray organization that is not protected by interstellar laws, and you still want to stay neutral and stay neutral...
How can there be such a good thing!
"The cosmos-level civilization is really domineering as always. This is the sadness of the gray forces without the protection of order."
Void Hunter executives couldn't help but sigh, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.
"Then what should we do, Guanghui and Voidling will not just watch us all get assassinated." The bearded voice said harshly.
At this moment, two more remote projections appeared in the room, wearing the uniforms of Glory and Void.
"About this, I have already talked to the people from Glory and Void Spirit." The blood gold leader stood up, "Let me introduce, these two are the messengers of Glory and Void Spirit, he..."
Before the words were finished, the messenger of the Radiance Federation waved his hand and said:
"The name doesn't need to be introduced, let's talk about things directly, the Radiance Federation already knows the price you paid, and is deeply sympathetic. Therefore, we and Ethereal Religion will provide shelter for the high-level executives of the Blood Gold Organization and secretly receive you to go to the Stars. Yuan and Bright Silver Spiral Arm, in our territory, the Scarlet Empire and the Black Star Legion cannot move you, you can organize remotely and continue to hoard the evolutionary totems, and at the same time, we will also provide you with certain resource support."
The ownership of the scepter of the gods is the rift between the brilliance and the ethereal, but it does not prevent them from pinching their noses and cooperating on the issue of the evolutionary totem. After all, the evolutionary totem involves the genetic improvement of the billions of citizens of the entire civilization. The strategic significance is too great, the interests lie, and there is no eternal enemy... However, it is certain that the two sides do not like each other.
Hearing this, the senior members of the Blood Gold Organization were all relieved. If they ensure their personal safety, they can be assured of being a chess piece.
"With all due respect, I have a question."
At this moment, the top of the Andor bee people suddenly said:
"To snatch the evolutionary totems purchased by other civilizations is an extremely inefficient method. If you snatch too much, you may encounter Black Star's guards like last time. It is impossible for them to keep us robbing them. "
The Radiance Federation envoy smiled and nodded, "You're right, this is not a long-term solution, plundering alone cannot meet large-scale needs, do you have any ideas?"
"With the spread of Ability God's legacy, the manufacturing method of the evolutionary totem is no longer a secret. Obviously, the most fundamental solution is to snatch the evolutionary cube as an energy source from Black Star!" The blood gold organization executive A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You're right... Unfortunately, this method doesn't work for the time being."
The messenger of Ethereal Religion interjected coldly:
"Because of the existence of the evolutionary totem, the strategic significance of the evolutionary block has greatly increased. According to the importance the empire attaches to the totem, if we take away the evolutionary block, there will be no room for relaxation like the battle of the lighthouse star. Once it succeeds, it will be officially The war is on... Until the last moment, our three major civilizations will not go to war with each other to benefit others.
And... Do you think Black Star is easy to deal with? Put it lightly! If it wasn't for knowing the existence of the evolutionary totem in advance, why do you think we should start the fight first, and risk the risk of offending the empire to provoke the battle of the lighthouse star? We tried it last time, and now there are still a few Transcendent A Grades sealed in time-space amber, why don't you go to Black Star and try it? ! "
"No, no." The high-level executive had nothing to say, coughed dryly, and waved his hands again and again.
Just kidding, how can I stand a mediocre natural disaster grade for a big man like Black Star.
The Radiance Federation messenger nodded and said: "He is right, at least at this stage, we have no intention of taking risks and grabbing the Evolution Cube. This is the last choice, and now there is another way... That is to let the empire take the initiative to open the sale of totems. right."
"Is this... Really possible?" The blood gold leader couldn't help but doubt.
"Hmph, this is the situation now, Black Star himself doesn't actually care about selling the evolutionary totem publicly, but due to the supervision of the empire, he will not risk offending his allies to sell it privately, and it is impossible to take the initiative to let others catch the handle, so it should be targeted It is not the Black Star Legion, but the Scarlet Empire.
Only when the Scarlet Empire compromises will we have the chance to get the evolutionary totem on a large scale.
To get the Scarlet Empire to back down, there are no more than a few methods, deterrence by force, exchange of interests, joint pressure... You are also very clear about the style of the empire, deterrence by force is a dream, and in exchange of interests, we will inevitably bleed, not giving the core Technology and resources, the empire can't promise, it's not worth the loss.
Therefore, the plan we have chosen is to put pressure on the empire in terms of economy, trade, politics, public security, etc. Your Blood Gold Organization is only one part of this plan.
In order to develop the Glittering World, the Scarlet Empire has invested a lot of resources and energy, and it will become weak at other levels. This is the best time to maximize the pressure effect, and at the same time, it can also take into account the goal of hitting the empire... Step by step Force, let the empire make a choice! "
A high-level executive shivered, "Tell us this kind of secret, is it really okay..."
"Oh, there is nothing to keep secret, this is a conspiracy, when the empire chose not to disclose the evolutionary totem, they knew that this day would come, and you are now our partners, it is okay to tell you." Radiance Federation The messenger didn't care.
The blood gold leader frowned, "What if the pressure is unsuccessful?"
The Radiance Federation envoy glanced at him and smiled coldly.
"If the empire does not compromise, then we can only consider starting from the source."
…
The Sea of Protoss, the headquarters of the Infinite Consortium, the private reception room of the head of the consortium.
Four figures are sitting around the table, and there are four cups on the table. Inside is a refreshing light green plant drink, which is steaming hot and fragrant.
"I heard that the top executives of the Blood Gold Organization were assassinated some time ago. Your Radiance Federation and Ethereal Religion made them work hard, so you won't ignore them."
Sorokin held the cup in both hands, took a sip, and looked up at the other three people on the table. All of them were super-a-level bigwigs who stomped their feet and could make the major forces tremble three times.
One is the "Tool Nation" Manison who attended the meeting with a mechanical body, the other is the avatar of "Void Lord" Kesuye, the peak Transcendent A Grade ally of Ethereal Religion, and the other is one of the protectors behind the interstellar black market " The Beast Ancestor" Gorutan.
And these three people have the same identity... They are all shareholders of the infinite consortium!
"That kind of trivial matter is out of my control." Manison's tone remained unchanged.
Gorutan was huge, picked up the cup with his hairy fingers, raised his head and poured the drink into his mouth, smacking his lips, "I received news just now that the Blood Gold Organization has been in contact with the messenger of the glorious ethereal, A consensus was reached.”
With such a grand scale of the Interstellar Black Market, there is naturally a Transcendent A Grade support scene, and some black market managers themselves are Transcendent A Grade forces. The Interstellar Black Market is a consortium of interests of the lawful evil camp. It does not belong to anyone. There are multiple Transcendent A Grade shelters behind it. Gorutan is one of them, and its nature is the same as that of the shareholders of the Infinite Consortium.
Hearing this, Sorokin narrowed his eyes.
"If I understand correctly, because the evolutionary totem, the forces behind the three representatives, intend to join forces?"
"It can be said that." Kesuye's voice had an ethereal and strange feeling, "We also came to you for this matter, you can treat us as messengers."
Sorokin played with the cup and said lightly: "To be honest, I don't really want to interfere in this matter."
"Are you not interested in the evolutionary totem?" Gorutan said like thunder.
"No, I don't think there is any force in the whole universe that is not interested in the evolutionary totem." Sorokin was expressionless, "However, according to my understanding of the Black Star Legion, the result of rash intervention is that the risks outweigh the benefits, I do not Likes to trade at a loss.”
Manison nodded, "I understand, you not only have business cooperation with Guanghui Ethereal, but also have business dealings with the empire, you don't want to offend any party, your infinite consortium is different from the gray forces, you are a legal business protected by law Organizations, have the capital to remain neutral.”
"Yes, that's it." Sorokin spread his hands.
"Haha, don't worry, we won't let you do anything too much." Manison's mechanical body laughed, but the electronic voice couldn't hear any smile.
"Oh? Then I don't know how I can help you?"
"We hope that the Infinite Consortium will come forward, invest in Broken Starlink, squeeze the market and status of the Black Star Legion with legitimate business competition, and use the financial resources of the Infinite Consortium. Interfere with your normal business conduct."
Sorokin frowned, "Why do you want me to do this?"
"This is a part of putting pressure on the Scarlet Empire. The opinions of the Black Star Legion will affect the empire's attitude towards the evolutionary totem to a certain extent, and such a big business must let Black Star know that he can't eat it alone... Of course , in addition to these official reasons, I also have a little conflict of interest with him." Manison said lightly.
Sorokin smiled lightly, "It turns out that Your Excellency Tool Nation had a conflict with Black Star. To tell you the truth, Black Star and I... Hehe, there are also some personal grievances."
"Then you agreed?"
"The opinions of the three shareholders, of course, need to be taken seriously, but... The business of the Black Star Legion is not so easy to grab."
Sorokin's face was straight, and he said seriously:
"I have done research on the Black Star Legion. They have developed rapidly and have been involved in dozens of industries. The core business is four major areas, namely armed employment, resource planet mining brought by local civilization cooperation, Glittering World development and evolution. Totem sales... IMHO, the latter three are special businesses that are difficult for outsiders to intervene, and their core business is difficult to be attacked. Our infinite consortium can only start from other places.
Fortunately, the Black Star Legion has only been established for more than 20 years, and no matter how stable the foundation is, it will not be stable. However, this still requires a high cost...
So at the end of the day, what am I doing this for? "
Hearing this, Manison moved his fingers, and a virtual screen appeared on the table. There was a long list in the screen, and he said slowly:
"Resource support, political capital, more in-depth cooperation projects, more open industries... The specifics are all above. The risks you need to take are at most the Scarlet Empire reducing cooperation projects with you, and now is the interstellar era, the empire does not It may completely terminate all normal business cooperation with you, but what you can get is the deeper business connection between the two cosmos-level civilizations...
You believe in benefits and risks, believe that you can make the right choice, you can give you a month to consider, and then give us an answer. "
"It won't take that long, I can tell you the answer now."
Sorokin laughed.
"Sounds like a good business."
