Chapter 800 Receiving Galaxy 0751
0751 galaxy.
Whether in bustling commercial streets, dark slums, or those aristocratic estates still observing, hundreds of millions of eyes were focused on the same scene at this moment.
In the light screen, Qi Xiangqian, the galaxy chief who was once regarded as a tyrant by the people of the galaxy and whose mere glance would lead to death, was now lying on the ground like a stray dog. His face, which was always full of majesty, was now nothing but snot, tears and extreme fear.
"Commander-in-Chief... Qi Xiangqian?"
Countless people who were marching in the streets stopped in their tracks, and the once noisy streets fell into an eerie silence.
"It really is him... He's actually begging for mercy?!"
"That so-called Sector Chief of Sector 075... he actually caught him?!"
The visual impact was so strong that it instantly shattered everyone's deep-seated perception of power in this galaxy.
And in the conference room on the top floor of the General Manager's building.
The more solemn and tragic the atmosphere was before, the more ridiculous and collapsed it became at this moment.
Dozens of high-ranking officials from the galaxy were just moments ago passionately advocating for so-called dignity and defense, with some even ready to declare their determination to fight to the death. But looking at the scene on the screen, they all felt like ducks with their necks being choked.
"They...they ran away?"
The city's garrison commander slumped in his swivel chair, swaying precariously. He stared intently at the screen, his voice hoarse as if he had sand in his throat:
"The Chief of Staff said he was going to the core control room to activate the pulse weapon... He told us to hold the line... and then he ran off in a stealth reconnaissance ship?!"
"What does he take us for? Cannon fodder to stall for time?!"
At this point, a civil servant in the conference room could no longer suppress his anger and despair, and smashed his tablet computer hard against the screen!
"Qi Xiangqian, you coward! You utter liar!!"
He let out a desperate roar, his voice filled with both anger at being abandoned and extreme fear of the unknown fate that lay ahead.
The previously tense state of combat readiness collapsed in an instant.
All the high-ranking officials were in complete chaos at this moment.
They were not suicide soldiers, nor were they loyal subjects who would risk their lives for Qi Xiangqian.
Most of them only attached themselves to Qiqianxiang for personal gain.
Now, that pillar of support has run away, and in the most humiliating and despicable way!
"It's over...it's all over..."
A finance minister who had just been clamoring to fight the 0755 system to the death was now slumped to the ground, his face pale, his eyes glazed over, muttering to himself incessantly:
"How will General Lin deal with us?"
"I don't want to go to the mining planet! I don't want to go!!"
The entire top-floor conference room, which was previously a "military operations command center," has been transformed into a farcical "escape and self-rescue meeting."
Some officials began frantically sending messages to family forces outside the Chief of Staff's residence seeking protection, while others began frantically deleting all communications and instructions related to Qi Xiangqian over the past three months, trying to absolve themselves of all responsibility.
Some quick-thinking officials even took off their uniforms, which symbolized power, and tried to blend into the ordinary civilians below in order to escape the impending purge.
……
Galaxy 0751, planetary capital, Terra City.
The aftershocks of the warship's landing were still reverberating throughout the city.
Just hours ago, Terra was engulfed in chaos and flames.
Those who were usually exploited to the extreme, as well as desperate looters, rushed into the administrative district like an out-of-control flood, and some even tried to break into the warehouse of the Chief of Staff's residence.
But in the face of Lin Qiye's massive army of ten thousand, all the chaos was violently quelled.
The live stream camera faithfully recorded this scene:
Before a thug who had just stolen half a box of psionic ore from the Chief of Staff's private vault could even burst into laughter, a cold, dark shadow flashed past his head like lightning.
"puff!"
There were no warnings, no negotiations, and no protracted legal proceedings.
With a gentle flick of his psionic longsword, the scalding hot human head was tossed high into the air.
Blood splattered like a fountain onto the concrete of the street, drawing a shocking red line on the clean streets of Terra.
"Any act of looting will be met with immediate execution!"
"Anyone who disrupts public order shall be regarded as a traitor!"
"The order of Galaxy 0751 is now under the personal control of the Grand Commander!"
As several groups of audacious thugs were killed on the spot, the streets of the city instantly became deserted.
With hundreds of millions of eyes fixed on those ruthless enforcers, the restless fire in their hearts was frozen solid.
……
Terra City, a top-tier business restaurant in the city center.
This place was once the venue where the most powerful and wealthy families in the galaxy chatted and laughed, and the secret meeting room where the powerful and wealthy divided up the interests of the galaxy.
But now, the air in the entire restaurant was frozen solid.
A dozen or so family heads and clan leaders, who controlled 60% of the industry in the galaxy, were sitting around a huge round table. On the light screen in front of them, the scene of Lin Qiye's machine god suppressing the galaxy was being played.
They were all dressed in suits, but they were covered in sweat, and the wine glasses in their hands trembled incessantly.
"What should we do?"
A family head spoke in a low voice, breaking the ten-minute silence.
His voice held a hint of almost desperate helplessness:
"News just came from the Qi family; they were all wiped out, all captured by that Lin Qiye..."
"Furthermore, he publicly announced that all the assets of aristocratic families would be subject to audit."
"An audit..." another family head sneered, but his laughter was full of bitterness. "That's not an audit, that's castration! It's emptying our family's wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, bit by bit!"
"But can we resist?"
The third patriarch looked out the window towards the starport, where the two dark gold warships hovered silently, like the gaze of death.
"His warships are there, and his men are here. If we even have the slightest thought of resistance, we'll probably end up like those thugs, reduced to blood and gore in the streets."
They are a powerful family, an aristocratic clan, and the actual controllers of this galaxy.
But at this moment, under Lin Qiye's absolute physical suppression, they couldn't even utter a single harsh word.
"Gentlemen."
The eldest patriarch slowly stood up. He removed his glasses, and a resolute glint flashed in his aged eyes, yet it also revealed a deep sense of helplessness.
Qi Xiangqian is finished.
We now only have two paths.
He looked at the crowd, his voice hoarse:
"First, a fight to the death. We'll take our family's meager resources and go to our deaths, betting that Lin Qiye isn't bloodthirsty enough."
"Second, bring all our sincerity, all our family's account books, resources, and even... all the eligible and outstanding women in our clan, and kneel in front of the chief's residence."
"Go and beg him to accept you, go and beg him to give us... a chance to live."
Another deathly silence fell over the hall.
A moment later, the dozen or so family heads put down their wine cups and stood up almost simultaneously, their movements perfectly synchronized, even carrying a sense of relief...humility.
"That's enough."
"Since we can't resist... let's enjoy it."
"At least, becoming his subordinate is still a future compared to being wiped out."
They wiped the cold sweat from their faces, straightened their collars, took their most valuable gift list, and turned to leave the restaurant.
Meanwhile, inside Lin Qiye's flagship command center.
Letters of surrender from various families in Terra City were displayed on the screen.
The newly appointed secretary next to him said loudly:
"My lord, those powerful and influential families have already made their move."
"They brought generous gifts, and the queue stretched from the palace gates all the way to Star Harbour Plaza."
