Chapter 1534: Chapter 576: Divine Power Conference Hall, Brotherhood_2
"Hiss! Brother Liu An, I’m really sorry, I just assumed you were also a War Merit Rank, didn’t expect you’re not adept at attacking and killing. It’s my fault. You’re not hurt, are you? Do you need some treatment?"
Ren Zhong spoke while looking at Liu An’s hand with deep sympathy and guilt.
The demeanor, the gaze, would make one believe they were blood brothers.
Although Liu An was certain his hand was definitely fractured, with all eyes on him and the live broadcast to the entire Star Cluster on Channel One, he couldn’t show any sign of weakness.
He could only bite his teeth silently, quietly hiding his hand behind his back.
Liu An was just about to discreetly use his other hand to gently massage and check the injury, but he immediately remembered that his image was being magnified into a projection.
Even the tiniest movement would be seen clearly by countless eyes.
So, he resisted the urge to rub it, maintaining the posture of clasping his hands behind while holding his expressions steady, saying, "Brother Ren Zhong is joking. It’s not that I’m not good at attacking, but who are you? Brother Ren Zhong, you’re such an unparalleled strongman who challenged the entire Empire, yet not a single person dared to accept your call. How can I possibly compare with you?"
"Hahaha! Brother Liu An, you’ve flattered me. Please follow me, take the seat of honor." Ren Zhong beckoned, then turned to walk back with Liu An.
When they returned to Ren Zhong’s high platform, a new throne automatically appeared next to Ren Zhong’s seat.
The difference between the new throne and Ren Zhong’s was that one was crimson, and the other was deep blue.
Apart from that, the specifications of both were entirely identical.
Sitting down, Liu An used a similar perspective to Ren Zhong, looking down at the floor, feeling a sense that all mountains are small from atop.
He couldn’t help but feel somewhat emotional; after all the humiliation he had endured to come here, he finally regained some respect.
Ren Zhong’s drastic change of behavior was truly extreme.
Ren Zhong laughed heartily and said, "Brother Liu An, what do you think of my Divine Power Conference Hall? Since its completion, you’re the first foreign guest to come and the first to sit on the Earl’s place of honor."
Upon hearing this, Liu An smiled faintly, "I’m truly honored then."
Afterwards, the two chatted and conversed under the attentive gazes of tens of thousands, and the attention of countless viewers in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, until Liu An’s injured hand started to change color due to the accumulation of blood, only then did Ren Zhong reluctantly accompany him personally to the return dock.
The live broadcast on Nanxiang Star Cluster Channel One only concluded once Liu An stepped onto the flying device and entered the air-ground transfer plane.
But interestingly enough, as soon as Ren Zhong returned to his meeting room and Liu An to his ship, the delighted expressions they wore just a moment ago simultaneously dropped.
Neither of them was a fool.
No matter how brotherly they acted in public, they both felt that the other was truly a sly old fox, not to be trusted.
They both saw through each other.
On the surface, it appeared that there would be a honeymoon period between the Red Blade Clan and Nanxiang’s Earldom in the coming period.
But beneath it all, this was truly a journey of futile reconciliation.
It merely shifted open conflicts and tensions under the table.
The next eruption would most likely end in a life-or-death scenario.
Of course, both understood that at least within their respective civilizations, the charade had to continue.
A day later, Ren Zhong immediately called a new high-level meeting in the Divine Power Conference Hall.
In this meeting, Ren Zhong first announced the establishment of a second biological gene research institute based on scholars from Nanxiang’s Earldom and then personally allocated the rare resources sent over by Liu An.
As for the five unparalleled beauties, he used the excuse of personal use, secretly sending them into frozen sleep, calling it resource reserves. In reality, he wouldn’t dare allow those whose genes had been altered by Liu An to infiltrate the Red Blade Clan extensively; it would be akin to inviting a wolf into the fold.
Then, Ren Zhong appropriately adjusted the diplomatic direction of the Red Blade Clan, ceasing the embargo on forces under Nanxiang’s Earldom, while also showing an open cooperation stance.
Only half an hour after the meeting ended, the changes within the Red Blade Clan were fully revealed in a diplomatic press conference hosted by Xiao Xingyue.
The various factions within the Nanxiang Star Cluster immediately took action upon hearing the news, with actions including further deepening cooperation with the Red Blade Clan, opening more resources and industries to them, and significantly elevating existing Red Blade Clan members within their own clans, among other actions.
